Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-03-09

having her on the set when he was
working, she refused.
She found that her own world of
work kept her busy.
She was happier that September
than she had been in the last four
years. She had time to renew old
acquaintance, to run up to Ches-
ter and see the old friends who
were dear to her. She spent hours
in the shops, buying nothing, but
feasting her eyes on things she had
not seen before.
She often dismissed her car and
rode in subways and on the buses
just to feel herself a part of some
thing she had never forgotten.
One afternoon she stood at the
corner of Fifth avenue and Sixtieth
street and remembered the day
that she had stood there with hot
tears singing her eyelids because
heat and poverty had got her
down, because she was sick with
worry for Joel who had married
her and therefore had to support
the burden Of a wife.
She wouldn't let Joel even see
the apartment until the last rug
was down, the last chair in place,
the last picture hung. She had
brought on her own rugs and pic
lures, linens and silver. But she
bought new furniture for the VAIN
seotted drawing room with the
huge Tudor fireplace that faced a
wan Of long windows which let in
the winter sun. Again it was one
room and not two bedrooms as
they had had in California. There
was a room OFF the kitchen for the
maid. The cook came in by day.
There was a "study" for Joel,
a dining room and a small spare
room. It was a spacious, gracious
apartment but not large according
to Hollywood standards. But Janet
easily forgot her Hollywood stand
ards and loved the place.
She showed it proudly to Joel
the night that it was finished when
Joel had a brief respite from re-
hearsals. He was working hard
and looking tired, little older, she
noted with troubled frown. Later
she was to wonder if she had done
the right thing taking him from
California. At least, California
had been healthful.
But for much longer time she
was to know that she had done the
one right thing of her life. That,
however, was much later.
When she was established in her
Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-03-09

new home, she got around at last
to tackling the mound of mail that
had awaited her. She had tossed
her letters into a bag and forgot
ten about them. Plumbers and
painters to be seen, curtains to be
matched, pots and pans to buy had
been much more interesting
than hearing again the things she
had heard so many times.
Her trim, new little maid
brought them to her one bright
October day when she was lazily
having her breakfast in bed.
She threw away the printed ads,
announcements and appeals. Then
she settled down to reading her
letters.
She sighed. They were so exact
ly what she had expected they
would be. News about new clothes,
servant problems, who was play
ing what part.
Lisa had written: "The beauti-
full Gaynor boy who took your
house is playing Paul in Head
line Hunter. What they see in
him do not know, but then who
knows what the public will cotton
to-"
Janet thought: That was the
part that Joel wanted to play.
Joel was, she knew, too old for the
part but she would have cut her,
tongue out rather than say it.
Joel was as handsome to her as
ever but she, who was so sensitive
to every change in him, knew that!
the screen had made him look
years older than he was He had
been a star for three years and the
public expected him to look exact
ly the same as he always had.
She put down the letter and.

better drop him note yourself.

yours"
Janet thought about that letter
for several minutes. Then she
picked up the telephone directory
and ran through the BIS.
She picked up her telephone and
dialed Russell Bede's number.
II oughtn't to do it," she said
aloud, "but it can't do any harm
to see an old friend"

Raleigh, Oct. 28.-The political pot

the State front.
Already not less than five Guilford
county men are being boosted or

Durham.
It would seem that from this rath-

the incumbent's supremacy, especial
ly in view of the fact that Guilford
casts practically as many Democratic
votes as the other three counties of
the district combined. The 1896 gen.
eral election figures were 21,449 UNI
stead votes from Guilford out of a
total of 46,329 for the district. Dur
