LOS ANGELES. September 27.-
Evangelist Aimee Semple Mcpherson
took a fall from micprophone after
she had sent what was described as
a hot" sermon over the ether last
night.
Giles Knight, business manager of
Angelus Temple, said she had Just
finished preaching and caught the
microphone in her perspiring hands
to sing. A jolt of electricity from the
mike" f1oored her.
She was at once on her feet again.
and proceeded with the services.

One.Sided Birds.

An African native was being shown
some colored pictures of local birds.
They looked somewhat familiar to
him, and yet he was unable to recpR-
nise the birds for what they were.
"All birds have two Sides" the ma
tive finally came out with, "but these
have only one; there are no such
birds around here, I'm sure, though
we do have birds looking very much
like them"

material, worldly things. And poor Kenny -
Just being made the victim of kay's
uncouthness, that was the word; kay's mer-
cenary uncouthness.
He was indeed the victim of Miss divers
whirlwind tactics. He had been hoping that
he could muster the courage to ask Isabelle
to be the first to ride in his car He had not
forgotten that Isabelle had always been nicer
to him than any other girl in town.
But he soon found all the girls being nice
to him Some of them, like Kay, looked on
him as merely the owner of beautiful car;
Others began to find him attractive, roadster
or no roadster as he began to blossom be-
meath their cordiality. The boys treated him
with new respect and an envy of his auto
mobile that was little breathtaking after the
years he had cringed behind the conviction
that no one of his own age was interested in
him or anything that was his Everybody was
liking him now, really liking him for himself,
as he broke free from the chrysalis of his
shyness.
Isabelle did not witness this gradual change
in HIM Kay Oliver had seen to that, She was
convinced she could eventually win the ex
elusive right to occupy the other seat in his
roadster if she could keep him away from
Isabelle for a little while The Cummings
charm had always proved devastating if given
half chance. Kay was giving no chances.
The second time she saw Kenneth after
that first ride, she had led the conversation
around to Isabelle and said quite casually:
''Of course Isabelle is beautiful girl and
lopely, but you know how she is! She seems to
think it's law that every boy in town has to
fall for her So, of course, she's honey pie till
she gets him crazy about her. Then - well,
he's just another scalp to add to her col
lection

near him. She sort of liked Kenneth Taylor
He had sort of - we'll maybe the word was
dignity or something like that. Another thing
he had was lovely polite manners, even though
he was all feet and hands and tongue tied when
he saw girl. And he couldn't help it if his
parents kept him tied down like somebody
back in the dark ages like 1900 or something
Clifford Reed slapped him on the back and
said to Isabelle: Here's the lucky guy"
Clifford called to Kay: Hey, sweet potato
you listen to this, too. Did you know old Ken
got the new car outside as reward for good
behavior? He didn't know anything about it
until this morning when his father led him
out in front of the house and told him to look
at the harvest of not smoking and swearing
or staying out late even once before he'd
finished his first year in college Clifford
sighed. Some harvest I'd sayr'
why, Kenny =" Isabelle began but Kay
brushed her aside as she abandoned Chester
ard Wally, who owned cars handed down
from their fathers to their elder brothers to
themselves. Assuming her fippant toughish
attitude, usually found most amusing by the
crowd, Kay asked Kenneth: Say, pal, when
does anybody get to ride in this new bus of
yours?"
''W-why, anytime" Kenny answered.
You mean right now"
''W-why, yes Kenneth said politely.
Before he knew what was happening, Kay,
fairly blazing with animation, had swept him
out of the drug store to his roadster.
Isabelle watched through the window while
Kenneth composed himself stiffly behind the
wheel and Kay nestled down beside him. the
red beret aslant, her black curls almost touch
ing his shoulder. Isabelle's lips curved in a
fleeting small smile of disgust Gracious! A girl
should want something in a boy except mere
Evening star., 1937-03-14

Well. she certainly is beautiful girl.
Kenneth had answered 1t didn't seem very
gentlemanly not to say something like that
He certainly couldn't criticize a girl behind
her back to another girl. But this sure did put
a different light on the way Isabelle had al
ways treated him Gee! was that what she
had been driving at?
He was suddenly terrified of her: for he was
still too close to the memory of the humilia
tions he had suffered from girls who always
seemed to have an uncanny knowledge of the
fact that it was easy to make a fool Of him.
And he was still too unused to feminine ap-
proval to suspect that Kay might not be
telling the absolute truth.
When he finally met Isabelle at Wally
Bowen's house where the younger group had
gathered for the evening, Kenneth was scru-
pulously polite as always, but he avoided her
At first she didn't notice, overcome as she was
by the change in him. Why, he wasn't just a
nice boy any more Why, he was one of the
most attractive boys she had ever seen in her
entire life, And when he smiled - she had
never seen him really smile before - his
eyes SOt ot1uullCd uP ot llC NoiiiS o.
As the evening wore on his smile brought
an ache to Isabelle throat. He never once
smiled at her like that He never once asked
her to dance with him, though he asked most
of the other girls.
While she drifted, first with one escort and
then another, through the noisy gaiety, she
wondered what she had done to make Ken
meth ignore her as completely as he could
without being impolite to her. Was she sud-
denly leper or something
She was apparently something, for he man
aged to avoid her all evening. When the party
was over and everyone was going through the
lengthy procedure of farewells out on the
sidewalk, he found himself standing beside
her.
We'll, good night, Kenny" she murnured
gently. Gazing at his necktie, she smiled.

Isabelle Cummings loses trick, wins hand; the story
of some skIIfu playing in the oldest game in the world
by PATTERSON DIAL

Slowly she lifted her eyes to his. 1t was look
that made him feel they were suddenly by
themselves together. far off from the rest of
the world; look that made him almost forget
the sparkling challenge of black eyes beneath
wild mop of black curls. In that instant Kay
Oliver was at his elbow, and he remembered.
Remembered, and opened the door of his
roadster for her while he said: Good night,
Isabelle. 1t was nice to have seen you.
might, darling!' Kay sang out with
taunting sweetness as he got in beside her.
The blue roadster shot away from the curb,
the crowd calling goodbyes in subdued shouts,
not to awaken the entire neighborhood,
merely the households in the immediate vicin-
ity. To Isabelle Kenneth seemed as unat-
tanable, as fastly feeting as the lonely red
dot of the cars rear light fading down the
dark street
1t was gone, and Isabelle discovered that
maybe she was in love; and maybe her heart
was broken.
The next morning, awakening late, she lay
staring up at sunlight Pickering on the ceiling
and felt almost as if her heart were lying in
little broken pieces inside her chest. There
was real pain slightly lower down - not
pain exactly, but a sort of dull uncomfort-
ableness. She pressed the warmth of her hand
on her stomach and did not give a thought to
the large portions of Welsh rarebit, pickles,
and ice cream she had consumed at Waly
Bowens house She sighed enormously. There
was something sadly beautiful about love
that could be so strong person could aCtu-
ally feel it hurting.
During the days that followed Kenneth
Taylor was not always with Kay. Often Isa-
belle saw him with other girls So! - Kay
Oliver wasn't his only feminine ideal for all
her chasing after him.
But the knowledge brought Isabelle little
comfort. He still treated her as if she were
