CHAPTER 10

IN AGREEING to join Ellen's
4d1opement party, once more Mar
cha found herself committed to a
program that included Walt, but
this time she decided to ignore him
completely. Her first suspicious of
the man being verified, she saw no
reason to allow him any of her
time.
The three days until Saturday
were trimming with work, for not
only did she have to finish the
drawings Abe had requested, but
she was mentally clearing the
decks preparatory to resigning.
She felt stified at the Acme Office,
and yearned for an opportunity to
prove her ability in more attrac-
tive fields.
Ellen was a continual source Of
surprise to Marcia. Her first
~bombshell' was the news that
she, too, planned to resign.
"I told you once I'd give any
thing to be out Of this turmoil,
and now I have my chance. Tony
agrees it will be best if I stop, and
Pm so happy to have something
besides Office work to look forward
to. Oh, Marcia-why can't you
feel the same sway?"
IT don't know, Ellen. Maybe
the explanation is in something
you told me a long time ago
when a person. does creative work
Of any kind she must live it, al
most love it. I'm still head over
heels about the idea of drawing,
and I'll never be completely happy
until 7 prove to myself and to
Sandy that ali. this is worth the
struggic," she said. ooh, I'll ad-
nit that|I I seem to be on the
wrong foot for the minute, but
that will be different soon. I'm
actually getting excited about the
prospect Of free-lancing for a
ehange. But I'm going to miss
you, my dear"
"That's my only regret, too,"
Ellen told her, then shyly confided
"You know I've felt all along thai
you didn't quite approve Of Tony
Marcia, and I wish you'd get tc
Axe him better. I realize he
stepped around pretty spryly for g
while, but he got off on the wrong
foot, too. He's been different since
I've known him, and he has settled
down to good hard work, too"
Selling bonds? That's sort o.
a precarious business, Ellen. Are
you sure you can depend on thai
for an incomey Sure Tony viii

You know he isn't very used tt

Sandy and Marcia had met quite by
accident near the home of the girl S
grandmother in southern California.
He is an advertising executive who has
lust established his own firm and she
is a talented = commercial artist en-
ployed by rival firm in Los Angeles.
After a week they fall in love. When
Marcia shows so much enthusiasm for
her work that Sandy feels her love for
him is secondary, they part in huff
and return to Los Angeles separately.
Led to believe she is to be taken into
Abe Zimmerman's firm, Marcia is dis
appointed when she finds that one Walt
Hartley has become the new partner.
Although Marcia had sent Paula Stod-
dard. an art student, to Sandy for a
lob. she becomes jealous when Sandy
hires the girl. Hartley, whom Marcia
has been seeing occasionally, largely
out of spite for Sandy, persuades her
to join her friend, Ellen and his
friend, Tony, at night club. The
four go to the races. Walt begins to
win and urges Marcia to bet $50 for
him on the last race. The horse Mar
cia had picked wins and would have
netted Walt over 81 900 but Marcia had
been reluctant to bet his money when
She reached the ticket window. Marcia

Ellen was confident, even
laughed aloud in a way that was
new to her. Marcia studied her
friend carefully, and was gratifed
to see the change in her appear
ance. Perhaps Tony had encour-
aged her to wear brighter colors,
to adopt a more exotic way of do
ing her black hair. At any rate,
she looked a more stylish and in
teresting person than she had a
few short months ago.
A few short months what had
they done for Marcia! Since that
day in late July, when Sandy had
swept her off her feet, she had
encountered only disillusion and
heartache. The continual misun-
derstandings with her sweetheart,
almost childish at times, and yet
so insurmountable; the unhappy
state of affairs at Acme; and final
ly, the browning blow Of Waits
pettiness.
At least Ellen was getting out
of this uncertain picture and would
be able to create an atmosphere
of her own liking. Her friend saw
the usefulness in her face, and
asked softly, SANDY? Have you
seen him lately?"
ooh, yes. He was in day before
yesterday for a minute, another of
his strictly business calls. He's
still waitir- to hear about the out
come of lie Sheer-S Sheen account.
Says he's putting all his hope on
that" And Marcia did not confide
the rest-hoW his continued praise
Of Paula had irritated her, made
her spend a sleepless night Of
worry. She had made her bed, but
she found it uncomfortable at
times.
! I'm two days you'n be safely
married" she changed the subject,
land in two more days I'll have
told Abe what I think Of his fancy
new methods, and then little Mar
cia will be pounding the sidewalks
looking for work. Maybe you'll
need an artistic housekeeper?"
Given the slightest opportunity,
Ellen went into new rhapsodies
about Tony, and the modest apart
ment they had taken near Beverly
boulevard. Her earnestnesS about
her new responsibilities was al
most ludicrous, and Marcia smiled
as she imagined how the business
like Ellen would probably systema-
tie her unaccustomed household
duties.
Saturday was the 18th Of Febru-
airy, brisk but sunny Valentines
day. Marcia was glad for Ellen's
sake that the day was favorable.
She dressed abstractly, wondering
what the future held for her
friends. Again she donned the
brilliant blue ensemble, the top
coat surmounted by its lynx col
lar swinging graceful and full.
The tailored suit beneath was both
fattering and practical, and Mar
cia considered it ideal for air
travel. Tony had sent her a cor
sage Of orchids, which still rested
in their cellophane that box" on
the davenport.
The phone rang just as she fin
ished dressing, and Marcia an
swered it terse1y, "Yes?"
i Marcia experienced a quick flood
of happiness as she heard the voice
on the phone, and for a moment
she was tempted to ask him tc
come over so that she could con-
fide in him her decision to resign
Second thought brought the real.

| So she mustered a tone of
gaiety and replied, I'm on top of
said world. And you?"
"Oh, little discouraged. Stih
no word from Anderson, and we
are just sort of marking time till
we hear. If the answer is yes, we
have to be ready for some quick
action. If it's no, well I'll do some
thing in hurry all right! Can I
come over? I'd like to talk to
you."
The first time he had called her
in weeks, and so obviously in need
of her-and then she had to re-
fuse. 'I'm awfully sorry, but I'm
going with Ellen to be marriedw
"Who's being married?" he al
most shouted into the phone, and
the wires cracked with reflected
excitement.
"Ellen, you goose. Nobody will
have me; you ought to know that"
"Can I come along, or is it a
private fight? I'd like to be with
you today for a very special rea-
son."
Marcia thought fast, but hest
tated to tell him she was flying
across the border with party
that included Walt. She hoped he
hadn't heard of her previous ex-
cursions with the man, and deter
mined not to give him any UNI
necessary opportunities to be jeak.
Gus.
ooh, I'm afraid not. Tony's
coming for me in a few minutes
and they've planned very small
wedding; I'm standing up for
her." she said, honest as far as she
went.
"Well, my regards. to the bride
and throw an old shoe at the
groom, whoever he is. I'd give
you one of mine, but I'm wearing
it," he said, and after a few more
inconsequential remarks he hung
up.
| Hardly had she replaced the re-
ceiver when the doorben tangled,
and a taxi driver stood at atten-
ton. "Mr. Elliott sends his COM
pliments, ma'am, and will you
please hurry?"
Tactful Of him to send taxi in
stead Of Walt, she thought in the
hurry Of departure. She reached
the airport a few minutes after
Ellen and Tony, the man perfectly
calm but the bride-to -be indulging
lin an unaccustomed attack Of
NERVES. She was most demure
land attractive in gray ensemble,
with a gray fox collar to her trim
tailored suit. A settling straw
hat was in Difference to early
spring, and she wore corsage Of
yellow orchids. Her eyes were
deep and bright with excitement,
and she clasped Marcia eagerly
when she arrived. The plane was
warming up, and Marcia saw Walt
by the motors talking to the pilot.
AS they were about to board the
Iplane, a news photographer popped
out from the airport and asked
them to pose for a picture. Mar
cia was nervous, but Ellen obvious
ly f1attered at this attention.
Honeymoon express, eh?" the
photographer grinned facetiously.
(Which one Of you's getting
Ihitched? Or should say which
two?" .
''Why limit it to two?" Walt
said, with insinuating emphasis on
the number, but he was silenced
by furious glance from Marcia
as they were hustled into the
plane.
elm, could it be double ex-
posture? What a scoop for the
papers, two birds with one shot!"
And the photographer hurried off
to his city editor.

Telephone Manners.

The New York Telephone Company
has issued booklet describing good tele-
phone usage. Such guide, obviously
enough, has been wanted for a long
time. 1t should help to solve some of
the problems involved in more than sixty
Ave million calls a day.
But it may be wondered If the authors
have been fortnight to sufncient degree
in their formulation Of rules. For ex-
ample, what penalty have they devised
for the telephone gossip who plaques
friends and strangers alike by endless
talk for the sake of talking? A polite
call should be brief. Adequate punish
ment, something exquisitely painful, is
needed for the pest who chatters until
his unwilling victim hangs up in tardy
but wrathful protest against the insult
to his ear drums.
Again, what correction have the spon-
sors of the pamphlet invented for the
telephone clown who opens his invasion
Of decent privacy by demanding: Guess
who this is7" The medieval rack might

be revived for the proper stretching OF
human monkeys who think 1t funny to
kid a helpless listener.
People who resort to the telephone for
entertainment at unreasonable hours
also ought to be disciplined for their
crime. The inebriate who disturbs his
acquaintances at midnight deserves
nothing better than an introduction to
the water cure. And similar ordeal
might be recommended for shouters and
numbers, debaters and quibblers, So
licitors and dunners who make a toy or
an unworthy convenience Of wire facili-
ties regardless Of the anger Of those they
annoy.
The telephone at best is rude. 1t can
interrupt anything, halt anything. The
insistent clamor of its ringing commands
attention to the exclusion Of every other
business, every other duty. One Wash
ington citizen not long ago engaged 4
leisure moment to record this footnote
to history in his diary: MY bath, my
breakfast, my luncheon, an important
conference with my boss, even my bed
time blessing to my daughter was spoiled
by that internal machine designed by
Alexander Graham Bell to be an asset
to mankind, but so consistently misused
as to be curse to the species"

Rule by a Minority.

A minority group, constituting a bal
ance Of power, has oftentimes in the
history OF organized society legitimately
exercised its influence as an effective
means Of defense against evils growing
out Of the unscrupulous use of the au-
thority automatically accompanying
numerical strength. Minority influence,
however, is not always beneficial, and
when it is operated on the basis of each
fellow for himself it invariably leads to
situation which demands drastic
counter-action by the majority.
A elf-interested minority, gradually
exerting its influence by first taking small
privileges and then demanding larger
ones until it virtually gains control Of
a community, is an unwholesome thing.
Yet that is what has happened in Wash
ington and it is now plainly evident that
drastic majority action must be re-
sorted to if a proper balance of rights
and privileges is ever to be restored.
Washington is not the only city in
this country that has eventually come
face to face with the bald fact that the
drivers and owners of motor cars have
the situation under control" and that
protest against prevailing conditions re-
suits merely in reinsurance OF the already
painfully acquired knowledge that gaso-
line is mightier in an argument than an
unprotected citizen. But Washington Is
the only city of its size in the country
that has allowed its motor car popula-
ton to steal the show and get safely
away with 1t.
Many of the factors contributing to the
appalling strength Of Washingtons free
will autocracy on wheels were trivial IN
the beginning-small privileges taken
without asking and granted without
question. But inconseauential favors,
granted without check to small group,
soon grow to mountainous proportions as
the ranks of such privileged class in
crease in numbers. Other large cities,
realizing the danger of permitting self
interested minority to gain the upper
hand, called a halt on the exercise OF
free-will license and took steps to pre-
serve the legitimate rights OF the
majority
Washington. doing at the post, and
failing to start at the drop OF the nag,
ranks with the "also rams" 1t is now
evident that it will remain in that status
until a drastic movement Of some sort
succeeds in making it plain that the city's
majority population is not on wheels and
th.t II demands and is determined to
reclaim its lost rights.

sports: . greatly needed drill field for
the National Guard and an arnory that
can easily be made part of the stadium.
As the message from the Budget Bu-
reau indicates, the plans of private de-
velopers for this area, held in abeyance
up to this time, may interfere with or
make much more expensive future
acquisition of land unless the purchase
Is made in the near future. That point
Of view is gratifying to those in Wash
ington who have witnessed the ex-
pensive results of delayed land purchases
in other locations. The District may not
be able to contribute, for some time to
come, its share of the cost of an armory
or stadium. But the purchase of the
land now, to be held pending the time
when construction is feasible, will repre-
sent an economical stitch In time.

Juvenile Court Bill.

It is highly gratifying to many wash
inrtonians who have worked in behalf
of the Juvenile Court bill that the Senate
found time, in It's crowded hours yes
terday, to pass the measure and send 1t
along for conference adjustment with
the House. The bill passed the House
earlier In the session, received extensive
examination at the hands of the Senate
District Committee, and, with proper CO.
operation on the part of the members OF
the District Committee in the House,
there is every prospect that the bill will
be enacted at this session.
1t is difficult to recall any other local
measure which has been SO plainly needed
for such long time, or which has re-
ceived more thorough study at the hands
of congressional committees, assisted by
authorities on Juvenile Court procedure.
The delay in getting the measure through
the Senate was due wholly to the legis-
lative situation which denies to all but
the most nationally important bills any
Senate discussion on merits. A single OBJ
lection has been enough, at any time, to
postpone action.
It is not believed that the amendments
added to the bill will seriously AFFECT
the bills fundamental objective, which is
to emphasize the prevention and cure OF
juvenile delinquency rather than the
punishment of juvenile offenders.
Evening star., 1937-08-15

Washington is supposed to have the
magic formula for solving all problems.
Or. as one of the older and more astute
New Deal officials explained it:
Many of the brilliant young men who
came to the Capital In 1888 expecting to
have a hand in the execution Of great
reforms. recently have been leaving, dis
ilusioned and disappointed They fig-
ured that the New Deal inaugurated by
President Roosevelt had been wrecked by
the courts and by Congress.
Theirs is a superficial conclusion.
What the President has done Is to place
agriculture on something akin to 4 So
cialized basis He also has established
the principle that Government must pro-
vide work for those able to work and not
able to firfd jobs In industry.
Experience of the last few days shows
there is going to be no return to the old
Laissez-Faire system in agriculture.
Farmers obviously are sold on the idea Of
Government control over their industry.
There cannot be control over an industry
so basic as that Of agriculture without
gradual extension Of control over other
industries as well. Maybe Mr.. Roosevelt
really has started more than he realizes"
In other words: The Roosevelt revolu-
ton is still under way. But the question
OF who IS going to pay for 1t remains un-
answered.
