back Of the garages where the
children's party was being held.
Janet could never resist the lure
Of baby voices. She decided to
join the little ones to see what fun
they were having.
The older children were being
entertained by a magician and
there were four little three-year-
olds playing, in the wading pool.
Their two nurses sat nearby on the
grassy bank.
Janet hailed the children as
though she were one of them.
do you know how to play a
game called big ship and little
tugs?" she asked merrily.
The children were DELIGHTED to
have Ler play with them and she
made a great game of being a ship
pulled about by little tugs who
squealed and screamed with ioy.
Janet really had herself a lovely
time and volunteered to remain
with the children while their
nurses went to the refreshment
tent for tea.
She was alone with them and
absorbed in their play and she did
not know that she was observed
until shadow fell across the
wading pool
Lady, could you use a lonesome
sea dragon" a deep, pleasant,
masculine voice inquired.
Janet and her small playnlates
looked at him. He looked as
though he'd make very nice sea
dragon. Not at all a fierce one in
his white and blue bathing suit and
a merry smile on his face.
Janet said she thought they
could, and he lowered himself
gingerly into the foot-deep water.
He established himself. growled
pleasantly as sea dragons are sup
posed to and noted happily that
his performance met with suueals
of appreciation.
"Say," he said after he had
obliged with several exhibitions of
snorting, "Tll bet it's lots more
pleasant being a governess out
here than it is being a movie star"
Janet realized with amusement
that he thought she was a COVER
ness. ut is" she said gravely.
II could recommend you if you'd
like to be one"
He sighed. "Confidentially,
would" he said. cts no fun be-
ing a guest of honor at a shindig
like this"

CHAPTER 80

OF
CAROLINE MAYNARD toll
Janet she had sent for her wealth,
bachelor brother and was giving ,
party for him on his arrival from
the east.
II said it was going to be gar
gantuan and I mean gargantuan!
Caroline said to Janet.
when does he arrive?" Janet
answered.
Tuesday. The party will be
Wednesday. Knowing Russ as
well as 1 do. he may decide to
leave on Thursday and I don't
want him to get away. So, this is
going to be party as is one"
Janet was amused. What I'd
like to know is: How can you
give anything bigger than is done
every day? Is there anything
more rocco than champagne flow
ing by the caseful or pounds and
pounds of caviar? And do we
dress as kiddies or Austrians or
do we come as the person we'd
rather be ?"
Does sound dull, doesn't it?"
Caroline agreed.
Back in Chester we used to
have hen parties and Dutch sup
pers and barn dances and they
were really exciting but out mere
a party is just another sweet when
you're surfeited on sweets"
II know" Caroline said. ser re-
member when I thought the But
terf1y Ball and the Victory Ball
and the Beaux Arts and all the
deb parties were pretty tiresome
but they seem heavenly to me
now"
THE only thing we haven't had
out here is a barbecue" Janet con-
tributed.
That's it.! That's how TIL tie
things up" Caroline took her
lanky self out of Janets porch
chair and went to her pocketbook.
She opened it and brought out
memo pad.
Here's where we get to work."
she said returning to her chair.
I'm going to open Russ eyes.
I've promised him circus and
he's going to have it. How's this
for a guest list 2"
She handed the pad to Janet.
Janet read down the page, tipped
it over and repeated the move
ment several times. Then she
looked up astounded. Caroline
Maynard! What a list! You sim
ply can't do it,"
why not?" Caroline asked
calmly. 'My husband is an A
star, isn't he? Everybody will
have to come whether they like it
or not"
Janet laughed with great amuse-
ment. II don't doubt a bit but
everyone will want to come, but,
my lamb, how in the world can
you gather these people at one
party? You've got all the children
stars down and the children of
actors and actresses. You've got
every ingenue and siren in Holly
wood"
Sure 1 have" Caroline retorted
indignantly. That's the best way
l know Of to get them altogether
for an effect. In groups they're
hardly effective. This way it
should make a good show. The
barbecue solves the problem"
Il can see where there'r be plen-
ty of roasting, Caroline, but that's
as far as 1 can see."
ut will be an afternoon and eve
ming party. After all, I've loads
of room. I've a playhouse and a
swimming pool and a meadow.
I'll invite everyone to come in the
and bring the devil
raising Riddles and their nurses.
I'll hire ponies and a carousal. a
photographer and a magician. I'll
serve everything from lollypops to
mghballs. =
We'll have the barbecue in the |
meadow and do it up right with all
sorts of roasted things. Boy, will
those dieting blondes have q hard
timew
Caroline herself had ashen hair
and a tall figure slim as a reed.
1T certainly sounds different"
Janet murmured.

MANS BODY
NEW CLUEN
KIDNAP HUNT

QUINCY, Cal, Feb. II. tU.R)-
The body of a gaunt, bearded man,
who apparently preferred death
in an empty railroad car to the
risk of being seen in public, today
provided police with a new lead in
their attempt to trace the kidnap-
killer OF young Charles MattSon.
The man, his fingerprints scared
by acid in a vain attempt to erase
Identification, died of starvation
and exposure, authorities said. His
body was discovered by a rail-
road crew removing an outfit car
from a winter sidetrack at Portola,
Cal, to renovate it for spring use.
Mrs. Alice ReSs, Portola NOR
tician, was the first to suspect the
dead man might be the fiend state
and federal officers have hunted
for weeks in the Mattson case.
Fingerprints, meantime. were OBJ
tanned despite the effort at mutt
lation. Moody said prints of all
fingers except the ring finger
were obtained and would be for
warded to San Francisco and Sac
ramento today.

: Strolls Thru Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 7. -WD-A
barbed wire harp to be played with
a knife and fork is the gift to Harpo
Marx of Salvador Dali, Spain's No.
surrealist painter, and Harpo is
wearing a bald spot in his curly
blond wig trying to figure it out.
Senior Dali made the presentation
with some eclat, dash of tabasco,
and no little emotion in gratitude
for the mum Marx having posed for
a surrealist portrait.
Frame of the harp is standard
enough, although decked with odd
est designs, but strings are of the
sharpest, shiniest barbed wire, and
the silver-plated playing tools dam
gle on a chain beside.
Only other utilitarian accessories
are small roll of absorbent cotton
and a bottle of iodine, attached to
the arm.
Purpose of the safety kit seems
obvious, but the barbed wire stumps
Harpo, unless it represents the
sound of the Marx music to Sr.
Dali's ear.
Almost Immediately after the
harp Citing came another shock
when Harpo was permitted to pre-
view his portrait.
Picture, still unfinished, repre-
sents not so much the classic Marx
features as what Harpo thinks
about, If any, and it's something to
see.

BUSY REPAIRING
FLOOD DAMAGE

LOUISVILLE, KY, March-(By
Lee L. Brown for CNA)-Louis-
Vile citizens are too busy to give
much thought to the great destruc-
ton which came upon the city re-
Gently when the Ohio river covered
two-thirds of the city. They are
busy trying to repair their homes,
clean up the debris left by the
food, refurnish their homes and
helping to build a bigger and bet
ter city,.
80 Many citizens returned to their
homes to find that they had lost
everything. In many homes the
water rose to Is or more feet.
Furniture was scrattered through
out the neighborhood, livestock
and domestic animals were
drownd. Small homes and gar
ages were found in some cases
blocks away. Many of the refugees
have not been able to return to
their homes, but have been placed
in concentration camps until the
Red Cross is ready to help them
begin life all over again.
w P A workers and city en-
ployees have been employed in
large numbers to clean up the city.
In many parts of the city the sew
ers and streets were caved in by
the flood waters. Telephone SER
vice is being restored gradually.
Government engineers are work
ing out plans to prevent another
flood. State officials, including
Governor Chandler, have been in
Washington seeking an appropria-
tion to help make Louisville a
safer place in which to live.
