walllway, Gayle guided the two
boys.
In gesture of intimate com.
radeship. then, she slipped an arm
around each Of them, walking in
step, head up and happy. Bill took
it as matter of course; but Jer-
envy Tucker turned to her in mild
alarm.
Girls never had put an arm
around Jeremy. He couldn't UNDER
stand them. More and more he was
discovering that they were Won
derful creatures, but he was eternal
ly confused and fustered by them.
Gayles slender fingers sort Of
clung to his ribs on the far side. He
could feel them through his shirt
and sweater. 1t gave him a strange
sense of exaltation which he could
never have described or even adj
mitted, but which he knew in his
heart was real.
1T is a lovely day." he ventured.
Half said," Gayle nodded. Just
look at it,"
They looked at it. Sun and breeze
made motion picture patterns along
the graveled walk and out across
the eXpanse of green lawn. Breaks
in the shrubbery revealed flashes Of
flower color. A humming bird, au-
dacious little winged gem with ir-
ridescent feathers, stopped literally
on the air to inspect the boys and
the girl, then went on about its
business of slipping nectar from the
blossoms. A mother hooking bird
was distressed about the careless
efforts of her nestlings whom she
was teaching to fly. Bill spotted
their nest in a honeysuckle.
The trio came around a high
shrub screen and onto the oldtime
Mortified swimming pool, empty
and carpeted now with leaves and
trash. 1t was a large, yawning cav
ity in need of cleanup. The brick
bathhouse was locked, hidden from
general view. The springboards
sagged. The ladders were un-
painted.
II enjoy swimming" Jeremy re-
marked.
Gayle looked at the pool, then at
Jeremy for long moment, SPAR
kle in her eyes.

herself from Gayle Dixon into
Mary Melissa Mayfield, the eX-
quisite young heroine in the ecstasy
of first love. She saw in Bill, then,
not Bill Bailey, impulsive young
ex-collegian who had audaciously
talked himself into a job, but
Or wait minute! All at once
Gayle realized, even as she acted,
that Bill Bailey in real life was
almost an exact counterpart of
handsome Ted Mallory, hero of the
play! A mere change Of name
couldn't alter him. A few new man.
nerisms and pet eNclamations
couldn't change a man. Mallory
was young man out of a job, too,
but supremely happy and confident
of making good in life. Wasn't that
also Bill? Mallory was aggressive,
but essentially gentle and kind.
And wasn't Bill just like that? Ted
Mallory was supposed to be ever so
good looking, and wasn't Bill
Bailey that way?
These comparisons raced through
Gayle's mind while Bill was saying
his lines just before the love scene.
She said her own easily from men,
ory, and when he held her close
to kiss her full on the lips, the sheer
rapture of it was no whit artificial,
Gayle knew.
The script called for her to kiss
him back, lay her cheek against
his, look soulfully over the audi
ence and say Ted, darling, it's
heaven-heaven, at last, for me.
Oh, Tedw The last words she had
been coached tremendously, as If
about to burst into tears of happl-
ness.
Gayle, though, quite lost herself
in that scene. An actor can never
afford the pleasure of meditatins
while acting; ones mind simply
must not wander onto eNtraneous
things, personal things.
The hero had been called Ted all
evening, but in this climactic mo-
ment on the stage Gayle said:
"Bill, darling, it's heaven-heaV-
en- at last for me. Oh, Bill"
| Of course the audience caught it
i Five-maybe it was 10-seconds
later, so did Gayle herself. All in ar
instant she realized her mistake.
For one thing, Bill had stiffened
She sensed that she had distracted
him. Then, when somebody Out
front Uttered, she realized she hat
!, done an appalling thing and, quite
; apart from any acting she did. she
, burst into tears.
But for the fact that Bill Bailey
, had had three years of experience
at dramatics in college, maid t.

completely then and there. Bill con
F trolled his quick flash of consterna
ton and ad libbed:

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
: CANDID cameras being what
they are in this modern age of in
genuity and invention, Maid to
Measure" was reviewed pictorially
in the newspapers on the day after
the play.
A full page Of publicity they
could never have afforded was CIV
en- the amateur cast in one big aft
ernoon daily. 1t seems that staff
photographer had been in the
audience with super-sensitive film.
His page layout therefore carried
no stilted poses.
Full length of the page-2O
inches-was side view of Gayle
Dixon, snapped at the moment
when she had stood in a bathing
suit beside faxed swimming pool,
about to dive" That had been in
Act 1, where the hero, Ted, had
discovered her. A great many other
gentlemen about the city, young
and old, discovered" Gayle when
this big portrait of her was printed.
Gayle had what the boys refer
to as everything. She was $50 the
caption revealed) about five feet
six inches tall. Hair was straw
to-honey color, straight by nature,
but curled by experts. Her weight
was 1926 pounds. Her figure was I'M
deniably statuesque. erect, beautl-
full.
The caption added with reason
able accuracy that Miss Dixon was
a devotee of swimming, tennis, bad
minton and golf, She had never
touched a golf stick, but she was
fair at the other sports; or had
been in school when she had a lit
tie time for them.
This paper also pictured the
other lead in the cast, Mr.. William
Ward Bailey, who also directed the
play. The caption gave Bill quite
a build-up also, mentioning his re-
cent All-American rating in col
lege football and predicting big
things for him on the stage If NJ
wanted it so. Bill was shown witt
him arm around a bespectacled
owl-eyed young man who had acted
a small bit in one Of the scenes
Thai, the caption said, was MIR
Jeremy Tucker, grandson Of thu
distinguished philanthropist, Ben
jamin w. Merrifield, and heir Il
the Merrifield millions.
Arrayed in sundry position
around and behind these three per
sonages from Maid to Measure
were photographs of the six Lowell,
girls. There was a scene in a rop
swing where Tempe Hyde's shor

copies OF this particular paper ever
reached Mr.. Merrifield or any of
those in his household. But it did
circulate generously in various
levels of city society.
Upshot of all this attention was
the fact that Everybody" re-
sumed talking about the Merrifeld

Of course the nine young people
now at The Oaks were responsive
to all this. Youths normally -four

those nine now. Even Jeremy, shy
