What is your trump card in the
game of romance?
It's your femininity And you
should never forget that fact. Be
a pal. Be companion. Be help
mate. But remember that first, last
and always you are a woman, and
that man expects a woman to be
feminine.
l sometimes think that grand
mother was much wiser than today's
modern girl. She never made the
mistake of making herself cheap.
No lad could come and whistle her

Jean Refuses a Wedding Gift

that she was thinking Of their
own wedding plans. Oh, why did
Molly want that cameo, Of all
things in the world?
But the eyes that Jean turned
to him were not fearful, but de-
faint. "And what would you use
for money!"
Johnny was amazed at her an
swer: it was so unlike what he
had expected.
you'd sell it them" he said,
and added, well, to be perfectly
honest with you, had some sort
of notion you'd be altruistic and
give to to me for a wedding pres
emit. 1 don't know of anything I'd
rather :"
You mean that Molly would
rather have" Jean said. well,
1 won't sell that cameo and
won't give it away, so go and tell
your friend Duse that"
He went down the stairway into
Molly's dressing room. She sat be-
fore the mirror running little
brush of lipstick over her mouth
Her hair was powdered and her
face was wrinkled. What a sweet old
lady she would make.
When she saw him in the mir
ror, she swung around and asked
well, what did Jean say? Have
you asked her?"
"She said, NO dice"
so she won't even sell it to
you, her precious Johnny! Well
of all the mean, grasping things
ever heard of. She doesn't care
about it or she wouldn't have lent
it to me so readily"
"She does care about it," john
ny corrected her. "That hadn't
anything to do with it. It's a fam
lily heirloom; I can see her point
perfectly. But, don't you worry.
After we're married, I'll buy you
something even lovlier than that
old cameo"
Molly opened her mouth to an
swer him, but no sound came.
There was crash. A flood of
smoke curled down the stairway.
Someone screamed:
THAT old lamp turned over.
The kerosene ignied. Get out!
The whole place is on fire!"

CHAPTER VIII

Molly in Johnny's arms whisper
ing that she loved him and would
marry him as he had asked her to,
sent his senses whirling. That she
wanted the cameo to be his gift to
the bride was only small hurdle
easily cleared so near the real goal.
Then you'll ask Jean to sell 1t
to YOU. I want it so desperately,
Johnny darling" Molly was say
ing rather than asking. Her
mouth hard against his, his arms
about her, made everything pos
sible.
Jean will give it to us for a
wedding present. We won't need
to buy it. And if there's anything
to that luck legend, we needn't
even worry about that. Jean and
I are so nearly brother and sister
that the Reynolds luck has prob
ably diffused after all these
years"
Molly laughed softly and stood
away from him. She was so beau
tiful, so lovely - and she was going
to marry him!
You're sweet, Johnny" Molly
said, stroking his face. Don't
worry about the luck, you funny
Irishman. Things are turning out
wonderfully. Now don't forget to
ask Jean right away. She'll be
at the theater tonight"
He walked back down Cottage
street towards his garage, almost in
a dream. Molly was going to marry

Conn Too "Cocky"
on Chances, Pastors
Record Reveals

New York, Aug. 6.-Counting his
chickens before they are Matched
seems to be a major failing of Will
liam David Conn, Jr, the Pitts
burgh kid who opposes Bob Pastor
in a fifteen-round match at the
Polo Grounds next Tuesday night.
Pastor, to Billy Conn, represents
a mere minor obstacle in his quest
for a heavyweight championship OPP
portunity against Joe Louis. In
deed, Conn holds the New York
heavy in such low esteem that he
doesn't even care to discuss his
forthcoming meeting with Pastor.
He prefers to talk about the Louis
fight" as though Conn were already
an easy winner over Pastor by a
Knockout in the first round. All
right, then, the second round.
Remember?
But glance at the Pastor rec
ord reveals some interesting facts.
There was lad named Bob Mes
tell in California, being groomed
for a bout with Louis and touted
by Pacific coast experts as the
best heavyweight, the hardest
puncher to be developed west of
the Rockies in years" Nestell
planned to move into titular
match by disposing of Pastor. Alas,
Pastor disposed of Nestel.
There was a lad in Detroit
named Roscoe Toles. He had blast
ed Jimmy Adamick out of box
ing and he had beaten Arturo Go
doy. He had compiled so imposing
a record that Detroit boxing writer's
began writing he was better than
Louis. Alas, Toles, too, met Pas
tor. He did not fight Louis for
the title.
There was a lad in Boston named
al Mccoy. He was the New Eng
land heavyweight champion. and up
Boston way they were hoping Louis
would come up there to risk his
laurels against Mccoy. Pastor got
there first and promptly ruined all
hopes of a Louis-McCoy contest.
The list could be extended. Suf-
flee to say that Pastor has a way
of smashing the aspirations of
young heavyweight hopefuls aim
ing for a title meeting with Louis
But Pastor does not want to me
known as Louis policeman. BY
no means has he set himself up as
a "cop" to knock over prospective
Louis opponents just fol- the sake
OF knocking them over. He has his
own ambitions and foremost among
them is to face Louis again for
the heavyweight championship.
