Octavia. She had her pick Of the
bellhops and elevator boys and all the
other male employees.
1t was her second Summer at the
Van Prince. She had hoped there
would be something new this Sum-
mer, and her hope had been fulfilled
when she saw Eric Halsey. Eric was
the chief bellhop. He was tall and
straight, fair-haired and blue-eyed.
She didn't try to flirt with him. That
wasn't the way, she knew, to make an
impression on man. Not when the

But she managed, adroitly, to meet

so, but I think you're just about the

DO you mean that's why you asked
me to dance?" gasped Octavia.
Why, yes. 1t was, why?"
DO you mean-you don't know who

He looked at her in surprise. I'm
sorry. Have we met before?"
Wouldn't that burn you up? He
didn't even know that she worked in
the same hotel with him: that she
was considered the prettiest Of all the
girls! No, the man wasn't shy. He
was dumb!
And so Octavia decided the best
thing to do was to ignore him when
they met the next day, pretend she
didn't remember him. That would
take him down a peg.
she contrived to be around when he
came back with Charlie Dane
and Lee Dyer to eat his lunch. She
looked straight at him and through

straight and as through as she.
Octavia was furious. She wasn't
used to this sort OF treatment. The
big dumb blond! Couldn't he see that
every other man in the hotel was
crazy about her?
Three days passed. Every day Oc-
tavia contrived somehow to come face
to face with Eric Halsey. Each time
she looked right at him and each
time he looked right at her, and their
looks went through the other.

We'll, for Heavens sake!" exclaimed
Mr.. Halsey. so it is! Nov, don't
tell me you're guest at this hotel
If so, you're making a mistake. I'm
only bellhop"
Don't I know It," said Octavia
I'm a waitress"
They both laughed. They talked
for an hour. Then Octavia had to go.
Eric wanted to know II she'd 20 a
movie with him that night and she
said she would.
So they went to movie that night,
and for walk the next night. They
swan and walked and played tennis
together, and Octavia decided that
Eric Halsey was the incest boy shed
ever known. She would have been
completely happy with him except
that in the back OF her mind there
still ranked the thought that she had
to practically thrust herself upon him
in order to get any recognition.
She could, she decided, never be
completely happy with a man on
whom she had to thrust herself.

We crossed the Timor Sea from
Koepang, on Timor Island, in 3 hours
20 minutes against strong head winds.
We fled over fleecy clouds at a height
OF 1000 feet, and possibly this was one
reason why we saw no sharks, con-
corning which every one had warned
us. Possibly there are not 50 many as
reputed.
The country hereabouts is very diff
ferent from that surrounding Koe-
pang. There jagged mountains rose,
while here, as far as one can see, are
endless trees on an endless plain.
The sea water around Port Darwin
is vivid green. AS we came In to

Greeted BY Doctor.
The airport is good and very easy
to find. We were greeted by a doctor
as we rolled to stop, and thereupon
were examined thoroughly for tropical
diseases. No one could approach us
or the airplane until We had passed
muster. If this work is done at all
1t should be thorough. and I approved
the methods, although the formalities
delayed refueling of the plane
The customs officials had to clear
the plane as if she were an ocean,
going vessel, but that was done with
much dispatch. Inasmuch as we carry
nothing but one suit case apiece and
have nothing in the plane but spare
parts, fuel and oil, the process Is
simplif1ed.
