him an insight into her character.

she confessed shyly, 'but the trou-

Double trouble, Ell? And can't
you decide which is the stronger ?"
Garrett hit the nail on the head
with this diagnosis, although he
was merely parrying what he
thought was a pretty statement.
"No," she shook her head. II

be two people and do justice to
either, it seems. OF course, think
it could be done, but I've found

Marcia didn't realize how much
of her personal life she was re-
vealing. But suddenly Garrett
could see beneath the veil of allu-
sions, and sensed the serious
meaning behind words he had first
thought to be frivolous.
"No-men are selfish where the
woman of their heart is concerned.
It takes a strong character like
Iona to be able to give full ex-
preston to both sides of her ma
ture. And sometimes" he said
with a far-off look, sometimes I
wonder if the woman in her is
really satisfied with the taste of
success"
"Well, she's free, white and 81"
"And I'd say you were about
20 to hazard a guess"
Its a compliment to Lona's
frock, then; I've been able to vote
for two years. Not that it's done
any good" She smiled up at him.
"You women are all alike; you
want to feel that your single vote
swings the balance wheel over to
your side. You like to be the one
to break a tie vote and realize
sense of power. Aside from that,
what do you, personally, ike?"

challenged his interest with the
pride in her voice. I'm really
quite good if given half chance.
My only trouble is few surplus

to put out some really fine books

us into a few costly experiments.

enthusiastically. and Marcia recog-

poseful young man. Suddenly he
faced her directly, twinkle In his

"Why, novel;, I don't know"
She was embarrassed, thinking he

CHAPTER 81

OUT OF DIFFERENCE to her
weekend hostess, Marcia selected
one of the enhancing little after
noon dresses that hung in her
closet. Made of a hand-blockeo
linen of peculiar green tones, 1t
Jared stiff1y to the floor where a
shallow pleated rutf1e OF white
added effective decoration. The
simple square-cut neckline was
flattering, and Marcia had
scrubbed look of buoyant health
as she Joined Iona Won Brechts
other party guests-a rather
sophisticated group-on the
Veranda.
Iona was quick to appraise the
girl who modelled her gown so per-
fectly, and proudly presented her
to a Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Aldrlcn,
who had just arrived from their
own home further down the beach;
and a promising new actress billed
simply as "Marcella", accompanied
as usual by Heindrich Mueller, her
agent. Others Marcia recognized
as guests on that previous occa-
sion when she and Ellen had &C
companied Walt and Tony to
pouring. Liquor was again much
in evidence, and as she accepted a
whiskey sour, she studied the
group around her.
She could we'll believe Iona was
"as smart as any husband" when
she noted the expensive style
with which she was able to main
tain her beach home. She was
never conscious of how many were
enjoying her lavish hospitality,
only seeming pleased when a cos
mopolitan group made life gay and
interesting. Marcia wondered
when she found time to work, un-
til she realized she had seen her
only on week-ends. Intuitively she
felt that Iona probably threw
herself into her work as whole
heartedly as she did everything
else. And, indeed, Iona was the
life of the party today.
She was laughing hilariously at
the story Marcelia told about her
first experience trying to land
screen test under her real name of
Nav West. what chance did
have with a name like that" she
had dramatized, when the origi-
nal come-hither girl had made 1t
q byword from coast to coast 2"
Then she admitted that the vogue
for brevity had been responsible
for her choice of only a single
name, and henceforth ''Marcella"
was to cling to her and to shine
In the brightest lights over every
theater in town. She was a genu-
inc hit, and Marcia was pleased
to meet her when she was just
starting up the ladder to success.
In the midst of her responsible
ties as hostess, Iona looked in
quiringly at Marcia. Where's
Gary?" she demanded. Not real
ling this was the nickname Of
the escort whom Iona had Sc
lected for her, Marcia thought she
must be referring to a dog. Con-
scientiously, she began to look I'M

porch.

from around the corner, and was
genuinely amused at the laugh
he'd caused at Marcia's expense.

old dog Tray, but I resent it at
this stage of the game"
Though he laughed, Marcia was
to realize that he would prove as
faithful as the original dog Tray,

tions il China and Japan two years

tly and people When tie Andsr-
sons later visited China and saw

that country, Mrs. Anderson said
her sympatlies turned to China.
