There was a little box, jewel
er's box. Maybe buckle or a
bracelet. Instead it was a vanity
case that held the same tone OF
green.
'Now you'll MATCH" Garry said
as delightedly as child who gives
his mother cream pitcher for
Christmas and watches the family
pouring cream on their oatmeal
from it.
The gifts, simple and beautiful,
restored the thread of companion
ship, but Garry's chin was stub
born still. Finally, he said: Bar
bara, do you know Jimmy Minton
well? 2"
''I never saw him until an hour
ago. He's one Of the people Julia
had found"
Good! Better keep clear of
him. Warn Julia. He's married,
you know. Has been several
times, but mean he has a wife
who hasn't been to Reno or Paris
vet. I once covered case that
involved him and he's hated me
ever since"
So that accounted for the hos
tility.
"E1e won't be back again." Bar
bara promised. ''I'll warn Julia. "
They talked then about all the
things that had happened. It
seemed to Barbara that it had
been only a night or two before
that she and Garry had sat at a
table and chatted together. Now
they were finding a hundred
topics that they could share, a
dozen people that they knew. The
waiter was serving the dessert
when Ruth's name came up.
Lets drop in on her." Garry
said. els she home now or at
Southampton" He went to tele-
phone and Barbara sat listen
ing to a girl who sang an Italian
love song to the accompaniment
of a tinkling piano. But the
earlier merriment and magic of
the day were quite gone. Julia's
party had spoiled something love-
ly. Garry had seen her, Barbara,
in disorderly environment. She
would rectify that by having him
come to dinner very soon.
"Ruth's home," Garry said when
he came from the telephone. "Just
got in from the country, and wants
us to hurry over"
There were stars in the sky, river
lights on the water, and the
bridges hung, slim and beautiful in
their suspended space, as Bar
bara and Ruth and Garry slipped
iced punch ON the terrace and
talked.
Barbara wished that she need
not go home. There would be Gig
aret burns in her favorite cushions,
and liquids spilled on the rosewood
of the old piano the previous ten
ant had left. Oneaby one her mind
conjured up the punishment the
apartment must be taking.
When the conversation swung
around to Julia, and Ruth ex-
pressed her sympathy at Bar
bara's unwelcome guest, Barbara
spoke impulsively.
II can't quite think I live there
any more. Funny, isn't it, how
you can create an atmosphere and
somebody can sweep it away? 2"
She shuddered. "L dread to go
back"
'Then don't. Stay here tonight.
1 have lots Of rooms and it's al
ways cool. You kept me one night
when I needed sympathy"
Barbara sighed. "L don't feel
safe about things with Julia in

pie like this Minton man. She's

cause everybody has told her she's

voyagers. She was no longer
strange and frightened.
She stood on the pier, as the
boat docked, looking up. There
were so many people that she
couldn't expect to find Garry, she
told herself. A man next to hei
tipped his hat. Excuse me, but
I think it's you that young fellow
on B deck is trying to interest in
his return"
"B deck ?" she asked, and
wished she knew more about a
boat so she would not need to
waste precious moment.
ITO the left-there."
THANK you." There he was,
bronzed, grinning, dearer than she
had remembered. And he was
waving his hat boyishly. He called
something but she could not hear
it so she smiled and kept waving
her handkerchief until the breeze
picked it up and swept it away
like a miniature sail, and then she
went on waving her hand.
When the passengers began to
descend the gangplank, she moved
in the crowd until she was near
it's exit. Then suddenly Garry
was there, his blue eyes smiling
into hers, his strong hands holding
hers, and then he was plotting her
out of the crowd, calling a cheer
fun greeting here and there, but
not stopping for anyone. He
found a cab, tipped the porter
who slowed away his luggage, and
turned to Barbara.
And suddenly, so swiftly that
she did not know quite how it had
happened, his arms were around
her, and he had pressed his firm
lips against her red mouth. A
star sang and a whistle blew, and
heaven came tumbling down to
earth. When he released her he
said: II didn't intend to do that
for a long time yet. But couldn't
help it. There are lots of things
I want to tell you some day."

So they talked, until the taxi

scenery and called back: "Do you

When he left her at the en-

| lived, he said: Don't change your
dress. I'm glad you're wearing
it."
Barbara ran up the three long
fights. She heard music. It was
too fast, too loud. It came from
her own rooms. The door WASH t
closed and she heard the sound of
voices. She paused. Ali of the
furniture had been pushed back,
the rugs were rolled up, a green
bowl that had held dahlias lay in
pieces on the floor. Half a dozen
people were doing a crazy dance
in the middle of the room.
| Her face white and stern. Bar
bara waited.
"Oh hello, come in," a young
man called to her. Come and try
this. It's the Apple"
There was something FAMILIAR
about the young mans face. Julia,
serene and sweet in pale blue, en-
tirely at ease, came up to them
and held out q hand which the
young man grasped.
Jimmy, this is my cousin"
Julia said. ''She works on a
magazine" Jplias laugh was as
soft as breeze in a rose garden.
"She has al, the brains in our
family. IL just have to wish /

Hinton is a friend of Bruce's, and

were two oblongs of dark blue vel

Bruce-Kemper, of course. That
was the name of the boy who had
received such romantic wallop
from those two blue eye that ne
had bought bottle of whiskey
and gone drinking it out of the
town. He looked pale and ema-
ciated.
Barbara had recognized JIMMY
1inton's name. He was a Broad
way playboy who preferred gaiety
to work. He scattered money as
freely as people scatter rice or
confetti at weddings. But why
should an unknown young re-
porter, out of a job, know this
man?

When the door bell rang, Bar-
Dara hastened to tell Garry that
she would be down at once She
did not want him to find these
people in her rooms. His first
sight OF her home must be with
lamps shining, flowers, sweet and
+ sh in the bowls, cushions in
place, not in a mad panic on the
floor.
Julia reached the mouthpiece

CHAPTER 13

BARBARA went into the hall to
greet Garry. She had told him
about Julia's unexpected visit but
she wanted to explain that these
people were not her friends, this
party was not her idea.
"Iello" she called down the
long well of darkness up which he
came.
HI: I hear music" he sang
back.
Before Barbara could reply,
Julia's tones, liquid and molten
gold, dripped their way through
the hall.
"These noisy friends of mine in
sisted on doing the Apple" Isn't
it a silly dancer"
"Silly, me eye! Come along,
gal, it's your turn" Jimmy Min
ton seized her as Garry reached
the last step. Then he recognized
Garry. "Oh, hello, Page"
Hello, Minton." Garry's face
was stern and his eyes were
steady. He made no movement to-
ward the room.
Barbara spoke quickly. "These
are Julia's friends and this is her
party. Shall we go?"
She caught the relief in Garrys
face but his mouth did not relax.
"Who are the people? ?" he asked
quietly.
"A man who used to work on
the Post at. home and a couple I
haven't met"
Garry nodded. His eyes had
seen the confusion in the room.
He smiled at Julia. Thanks for
inviting me but Barbara and I
have previous plans"
Out on the sidewalk, Garry
smiled down at Barbara. Lets
walk. There's an Italian restau-
rant across Sixth avenue that used
to have good food and an out-of-
door garden. We can get booth
and talk"
The hurdy-g y-gurdy man, who
sometimes played on Ninth street,
sent a song after them. It was
new song that he had not used
before At the corner Garry
stopped a peddler and bought
Barbara a, smooth white gardenia
for the throat of her simple black
dress.
They were at their table, with
its red and white checkered cloth,
when he pulled a package from
his pocket.
"Just souvenir from the other
side" he said.
II love packages. You never
know what is going to be in them, :"
she answered as she started to un-
tie she colored cord. But she
wasn't quite happy yet. The
scene at the apartment had been
upsetting. Garry didn't seem to
want to talk about it. Maybe he
thought he had been mistaken
about her.
She opened a paper III the pack
age and lifted out q billowy cfif-
fon handkerchief whose green was
as emerald as her bracelet or tllr-
ban. There was 8 grsystiG hIack

had the name OF the Liberty Shops,

/ your own use, money" When he
reached Barbara's address, he
gave her his telephone number.
''Minton is a bad egg. If you
can't get rid of him, better call
me. I won't go up-Td probably
knock the mutt down."
The party was still in progress.
It had grown, from the sounds.
The door was closed now, and
heads were sticking out of other
open doors. One neighbor spied
Barbara.
"What is going on up there? ?"
she asked.
"I'm ever so sorry. I've cousin
visiting me and she's having a
party. I'll send them home"
A girls shrill voice broke the
heavier noise. Jimmy Minton,
you mean it? You'll take us out
on the sound now, tonight 2"
'Minton, the playboy?" a man
asked at another door.
Too embarrassed to answer Bar
bara went her way. There were
books on the floor, and the logs
had been scattered over the room.
One drapery was down. One
lamp was upset. It had been the
type of party Of which she had
read in accounts of horrible
brawls. And it had taken place
here, in her own lovely room
where she had planned to hold
serenity, peace, quietness and
love forever.
Barbara began to tremble. Her
face felt cold and her hands lost
their sense of feeling.
Get outw She spoke the two
words evenly and coldly. Nobody
moved. "Get out!" Was this her
voice screaming among the rafters
Of the. low ceiling? Couldn't any
one hear it? She didn't know
what the broom was doing in the
living room but she picked it up
and pointed to the door while she
screamed again. She noticed that
Bruce Kemper was gone. Some
one whom she had not seen before
took the broom out of her hands,
pushed her through the door, and
locked it. Too enraged to protest
she walked down the stairs and
out the iron gate to the street.
'Garry!" He was leaning
against a post.
''I've been listening to the brawl.
I thought either you or the in
vaders would be out in a minute.
Want me to give them the buns
rush, or want some bacon aid
eggs and coffee first ?"
When they had finished eating
at the coffee shop counter around
the corner, Garry said. "I'll take
you back to Ruth's. Minton never
goes to bed before seven and he's
taken a liking to your place."
But then Barbara saw Minton in
the coffee shop. ''Look, that's
Minton and two Of the girls at the
party"
The wealthy playboy put in an
order for two dozen fried egg and
bacon sandwiches and five gallons
Of coffee. He inspected the pies
that reposed under glass bells and
chose half a dozen kinds. When
he finished, he saw Barbara and
Garry.
He bowed low. "Ah, my friendx

The sting had restored him to a
degree Of sobriety.
''I'Il get even with you for this,

CHAPTER u

THE WORDS in the radiOgram
which Barbara opened when Jack
started down the three long flights
of stairs, gave a hop, skip and
jump and began to dance all
around the room.
Meet Berengaria four o'clock
Friday afternoon. Garry"
Friday-that was tomorrow!
So Garry hadn't waited until the
Normandie or the Queen Mary.
He had taken an earlier boat to
get back. And he was picking
up the friendship where he had
left off. Tomorrow tomor-
row =.
Chanting the magic word Bar
bara changed the sheets on the
wide bed in the small bedroom,
hung heavy towels for her guest,
arranged some new magazines
and a few books on the bedside

body, even Julia, tonight.
She knew that her voice lifted
and her eyes shone when she
greeted her cousin. Julia, slim and
regal in a black suit with a white
summer fur, smiled. "I never
knew you were so Hospitality in
clined toward me-" she said. "Or
is it an act?"
Barbara laughed and little bells
rang in the sleigh bells,
school bells, church bells. But she
kept her news safe in her heart.
Tomorrow she would worry about
Julia's staying. Not tonight. To-
morrow she would face the fact
that her apartment wasn't hers
with Julia in it. She might even
worry about the sweetness and
charm of Julia when she wanted to
be alluring.
In the morning Barbara said:
Julia, may be busy for dinner.
The house box is stocked and
Alice McCollister's and the tumble
Shop are over on Eighth street.
Or maybe you have some plans."
II want to call up an old friend.",
Barbara wondered later why she
did not notice the gleam in Julia's
eyes. But she was too filed with
thoughts of Garry's coming. At
noon she went shopping. She
bought black dress of light
weight wool whose sleeves were
short and whose waist was tightly
fitted. Then she found a turban
of twisted velvet velour and
matched it with an emerald COL
ored bracelet. She needed new
pumps so she bought some black
suede ones, and an envelope bag
with a green clasp. Her own
black suede gloves would do.
She grinned and wrinkled her
nose as she reflected the black
dress was not just Jack Metcalf's
idea. Every saleswoman told her
that it was a black season, and
that the black had to be relieved
with a new color. /. For her, they
said, green was natural.
There was no time to go home
to dress, and anyway, she was
afraid Julia might be around.
Therefore, she carried the boxes
back to the Office and dressed
there. When she surveyed the
slim figure whose -nolding
frock gave it sophistication and
grace, she laughed softly. Now,
for the first time, she felt that she
wore the New York uniform. She
had no trouble about leaving the
Office early. Her copy and work
for the day had been finished
shortly after noon.
This time, as she gave the taxi
cab address the number of the
Cunard pier where the Berengaria
docked, she felt poised and as
sured. AS the cab swung down
the street that bordered the North
river. she had an affinity with all
the other people who were meeting

The odds have been against that

If you believe-along with a lot
of other people-that the movies are
still in their infancy, pause and con-
slider the fact that recently, in New
York, a plaque was unveiled on the
wall of the building now standing
on the site where the first thea
trical motion picture was screened.
The machine that made that show
ing possible was Thomas Edison's
Vitascope, and his daughter, Mrs.
Joen E. Sloan, unveiled the plaque.
Another fact that brings home the
realization that the movies have
been in existence for quite some
time is the presence, in the cast of
RKO's "Gunga Din," of a young
woman named Fay Mckenzie. She
has had experience in stock-with
her parents trOupe-and has ap-
peared with various Los Angeles
theatrical companies, but has vet to
make her name in pictures. But
she made her screen debut when
she was ten months old-in the role
of Gloria SwansOn's daughter!

If you are interested in writing
for the radio you'd better make a
list of the things that just mustn't be

one, not even the villain, can touch
liquor.
