BY ANDRIENNE

In jeanette Macdonald we find
a vivacious, animated, imaginative
personality, radiating a great deal
of charm and personal magnetism.
Pride, independence, artistic
ability, together with ambition,
enterprise, tenacity and strong
driving force are denoted.
She is intense in her emotions
and alert and decisive i'll her deci-
sions.
That she is a person of eXag-
gerated and eXtravagant aspira-
tons is clearly illustrated in the
very ascending line of her writing.
Her success on the screen testi-
flies that she has accomplished a
great deal of her objective. She is
not merely dreamer. but possess
es practical application in which
to put ideas into force.
Though impulsive tendencies are
evident in the flowing, buoyant
script, there is sufficient caution
and elaboration present TO avoid
hasty decisions.
Sympathy, culture, refinement

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

CHAPTER TWENTY-SlN
One day during December Hllda
received a letter from Steve. He
never called her apartment, fear
ing the wires might be tapped.
For public interest still centered
around the fascinating song bird
on the Golden Cord program.
The fact that months had passed
since her first appearance. that
she was to be heard tri-weekly
over the air and seen almost
nightly at festive occasions. with
out discovery. had whetted the
appetite of the mystery loving
public.
Enclosed in Steve's letter was
a note from Mimi. 'Ilda often
met Mimi socially. In fact Mimi
had taken her under the wing of
her social leadership.
Instinctively Hilda knew Minis
interest was not purely friendly
that it was a protective smoke
screen for jealous watchfulness.
Obviously Steve's presence when
ever Hilda appeared in public was
an aggravation to Mimi.
Mimi had written. MY Dear
Miss Somebody I am giving
small dinner at my home on
Tuesday, the twenty-first. in hon
or of my husbands son, Keith
Carhart. I shall be pleased to
have you one of my guests. Will
look forward TO seeing you after
the broadcast"
Reading the note Hilda pressed
one hand against her breast.
Keith was coming. Perhaps even
now he was within a few miles
of her. Keith-keith-.
She kept repeating the name as
if to recall his image, as if to re-
mind herself of his significance.
Dazedlv she read the note again.
Still without thrilled reaction.
Steve's letter was short and to
the point. You can see his face
before you. According to your
contract you are still under a
promise of secrecy. Not even
Keith must know of your iden-
tity."
That was all. Hilda turned the
page over. It wasn't at all like
Steve. Cold and gruff when she
had come to depend on his under
standing and half humorous ten
derness. She felt slightly affront-
ed by his message and, for the
moment, forgot that she was to
see Keith.
She wrote to Steve. You don't
have to remind me of my contract
How can I forget it?" And,
through him, sent an acceptance
to Mimi
On Tuesday Steve came for tea.
He climbed through the kitchen

Beauty Hints

This is the right time to begin
to figure out ways and means of
keeping your complexion soft and
petal-like, hair glossy and healthy
and hands smooth during the sum-
mer months ahead.
Don't wait until the middle of
July to decide that sunburn pre-
ventatives are necess ry. Just be-
cause you know you need great
doses of sunshine at the moment,
don't forget that sunburned hair,
a network of fine lines around the
eyes, rough hands and an uneven
coat of tan just aren't pretty.
Take your sunshine, by all means,
but take it sensibly.
One important consideration
might very well be a pair of good
sun glasses. Wear them when
driving, playing golf or just put
tering round your garden.
They'll ward off fine lines and
wrinkles around your eyes and
across your brow. If the glasses
are dark enough, you can leave
cream round your eyes while you
have them on and thus be doubly
sure that your sunbath won't re-
suit in any new lines at all
Wear gloves-rubber or canvas
digging around the flow
ers or helping with the spring
housekeeping. If your hands do
get stained. try bleaching the dis
colored spots on cutlcleS and col
ored spots with plain lemon juice,
and use cuticle remover to elm
mate stains on cuticles and under
nails.
A certain amount of early
morning or late afternoon sun
shine is fine for your scalp and
hair, of course. But don't 60 hat
less day in and day out from now
until September and expect your
hair to retain any degree of the
shiny, glossy quality it has now.
Use your night cream faithfully.
Massage hand lotion into wrists,
hands and fingertips several times
day. Brush your hair every
night. You can be a real golfer,
or the best fishing companion in
the world - in other words an
honest to goodness outdoors girl
and yet be feminine enough to
care what happens to your appear
ance.
