CHAPTER HI

There were six of them at lunch con, and Joyce recognized Dr. Gray as the pleasant officer she had met on deck just as the Empress sailed. He welcomed her heartily.
 "I'm very glad you could join IS, Miss Miner" he said. T looked about for you this morning" His cordial manner put her at ease immediately.
 Mrs. Porter greeted her charm fngly. and presented her daughter Isobel, but she endeayored. quite tactfully, to seat Joyce next to the doctor. with Dick directly opposite, between Isobel and her mother. The chair on Joyce's left was va cant
 MT. Gregory will sit here," the hostess explained. Hes little late for luncheon, 1 see"
 Presently he appeared, and the introductionS were completed. MT. Gregory was an impressive, stand offish sort of man, somewhere in his middle 3Os, Joyce decided. He acknowledged the introductions formally. but there was no ex- pression in his face either of pleas ure or distaste. His eyes, hidden behind thick tortoise-shell glasses, were cold and fishy. But his man. ner was cordial and he smiled easily.
 They were having dessert when Dick mentioned last nights epl- sode. For some reason Joyce wished that he hadn't; she re- sented the Porters' commisSeration.
 How perfectly terrible!" Mrs. Porter gasped ITO lose your pocketbook. with everything in it!" She leaned in front of MT. Greg ory, laid a motherly hand on Joyce's arm. You must come to me. my dear, if you are in any difficulty. I'll see what can do-'
 "Oh. no you won't!" Dick con- tradicted merrily. That's going to be my job. You know, Prince Charming rescues the Maiden in Distress, after the Wicked Uncle spells everything Except that l have to work doubly hard to kill the impression I built up in my first role as Wicked Uncle :"
 They all laughed, but Isobels eyes were suddenly hard, belying tae smile on her lips. And when MT. Gregory suggested a deck game sfter luncheon, she refused him shortly. With Dick Hamilton and MT. Gregory at the same table, in open contrast to one another, it was easy for her to see wherein she had made an error last evening.
 Mrs. Porter led the way from the table. Suppose we all go up and have our deck chairs put to- gether," she suggested brightly. Then we'll be comfortable if the sea does get choppy."
 Dick aSsented readily, but MT. Gregory excused himself, pleading & dislike for too much fresh air.
 Mrs. Porter was sympathetic. T do hope you aren't going to be ill, MT. Gregory" she said solicitously. But her tone was not very sincere.
 Joyce excused herself too. Deck chairs. she realized, cost money
 T haven't unpacked yet" she explained.

"Well see you on deck later, then" Dick called after her
 Half an hour later the ship was once more rolling in earnest, and Joyce found it difficult to straighten out her things with any degree of orderliness. She gave up the attempt and started up on deck. Mrs. Porter met her in the corridor outside her room.
 "Oh, Miss Milner! I was just coming to see you. Are you feel ing all right?"
 "F'ine!" Joyce assured her.
 Then I wonder if you'd help me out. Isobel is such a poor sailor $ he's feeling terribly
 I'd be glad to help, Mrs. Por- ter, What is it?" .
 T want to start a little bridge game among the ladies. l thought you might help with introductions and so on. You have such a nice personality. my dear"
 Joyce took the compliment lightly, but she couldn't refuse the request. o...
 Surely. When is it?"
 Right now. In the main lounge"
 I'd rather spend the afternoon out on deck, she thought, but l can't have Dick Hamilton think I'm tied to his apron strings.
 So she went off with Mrs. Por- ter, glad of the opportunity to meet more of her fellow passen- gers. But out of 200, only IA per- sented themselves for an afternoon of cards, and because of the odd number, Joyce found herself i'm pressed into bridge game to make an even four tables.
 Mrs. Porter was her partner. and their opponents were a Mrs. O'Hara and an elderly Miss Hig- gins. Joyce recognized Mrs. O'Hara as the angry woman in the mink wrap who had followed her un- steady husband up the gang plank the moment before sailing last

ing she lay in her berth and listened to the wild Atlantic lash about in fury. Over she would roll, to the other side of the bed, to stop, trembling against the wall and waiting for the ship to capsize completely. A terrible moment she would wait, then back she would roll, to cling, in desperation this time, to the built-up outer edge of the bed From far off there came terrifying sounds to her ears sounds of the crashing of crockery, the breaking of a door or window, the slow. agonizing creaking of the ship itself, as the waves threatened to break it in two.
 Soon she settled into dull apathy, too miserable to care even whether the boat turned over or not, too miserable even to re- member that at this moment Dick and Isobel were upstairs drinking champagne to keep up their spirits

Many New York critics and
ShOWmen felt that Shaw was
too subtle for the average movie
fan. Even M-G-M had its
doubts. If M-G-M had antici-

have gone into the larger
Capitol Theater.
Movie experts are constantly
clocking the audiences at the
Astor. They find the crowds

The big laugh scene is that

her aunt who drank gin like
