moonlight over the magnificent
old Roman arena at Aries. The ruined
castle Of Les Baux, from its rocky
heights still echoing the immortal
songs of Pierre Vidal to the beautiful,
deliriously rich those honeymoon days
had been!
And how happy, in spite of her
worldly-wise friends pronouncements
on the incompatibility Of marriage
and q career, had been the years be-
tween. And now that this grueling
tour was ending with tonight's tri-
umphs. she and Don would 60 away

always held q haunting lure for her.

"a Of memory synchronously with
that Of the piano. she smiled up at
Don sitting with Marcia in the left
hand stage box. Dear Marcia! How
sporting of her 1t had been to devote
50 much time to Don while his artist
wife had been on this tour! It was
grand to have a real friend like that.
Some one you could trust your hus-
band to while you were away.
Not that she didn't have implicit
confidence in Don and his love for
her, but these last several months
would certainly have been lonely for
him, with the club as his only re-
course from solitude. But with witty
and congenial pal like Marcia to take
to dinner and the theater and SPORT

different.

Jazz Effect

never have had the idea that
cigarettes. made fools out Of boys.
But 1t is clear in my mind that q
foolish boy will overindulge In Gig
arettes.
And it's about the same with ref
erence to jazzy music. It Is not the
music which makes people jazsy; it's
jaszy people who love that sort Of
music. The fact that this boy wants
to be . comedian, likes to crack Jokes
and loves the drum and traps Is
marked indication that he Is not-at

Is taking school courses fitting him
for it and succeeding in his school
work.
I am not saying that this boy is .
failure or Is going to be a failure. or
that the nice Willie boy who gets per-
feet lessons Is going to be bowling
success. Out Of many years Of teach
ing boys, I have learned that prac-
tically no boy who has good parents,
good early training and . good home
environment ever goes permanently
to the devil. Temporarily, he may
not be all that one could wish for, but
he seems to come out al right.
This does not mean letting things

almost bumped into her husband COM

Genevieve Rhodes, world-renowned

bowed graciously and sat down at the
piano. A hush fell upon the house as
she poised her white hands over the
keyboard-a hush that was broken by
the poignant strains OF "Tristesse

SO heartbreaking.
Through . mist of tears Jenny
looked at Don, now alone IN the box.
He appeared the typical picture Of
the abjectly repentant husband, and
in his eyes as they met hers she read
that look that no loving, injured wife
has ever been able to resist, look
that said unmistakably, But dear,
