It isn't the physician alone who hears such CON-

sequently, the perplexed mother change her own

dot 1t with silver polka dots" he
agreed. How about taking a cab
over here and picking me up? I'll
be waiting. Have the driver call
me and keep the meter running"
How about picking me up?"
Yes, that was the way it was done.
Men thought nothing about asking
girls to come for them, nothing
at all, Caroline told herself, as she
slipped into a dress Of midnight
blue which was spangled with sill
yer stars.
She had bought this dress to go
dancing with Terry, but he had
not seen it. Small good clothes
were hanging in a closet. She
would wear the dress, and when
1t was worn out she would get an
other and another-a red one and
green one and an orchid one
filled with frilly white moons.
The face above the dark frock
was wistful and white when she
was ready. She outlined her lips
in brighter crimson. Then with a
last look at the quiet telephone,
she ran down the stairs.
Her artist was waiting. He was
ieensiderate and merry and kind.
He liked her new dress and he had
lot to say about his work. She
listened quietly. A girl always could
listen. She asked a few intelligent
questions.
| They went on to place after
place. Caroline never had seen the
dnfeing at the Savoy up in Har-
lem. so they watched it for awhile.
A new night spot had been opened
by stage parsonage famous at the
turn of the century, so they
| dropped in there. Twenty-One, the
Stork club, the Iridium room, the
Versailles. =.
They became a merry go-round
through which Caroline moved in
her dark and shining dress. She
knew only that she didn't want to
go home. But after a long time she
was so tired she no longer cared.
The artist did not talk much in
the cab. He had found some ideas
for illustrations for a society novel
and he was busy tabulating them
mentally.
He asked the cab driver to pause
at news stand and bought some
morning papers. In the dim light Of
the cab he opened a tabloid.
Caroline gave a small gasp.
There was Linda's picture, the one
with her face looking high at stars
OF birds flying, and the halo hat
on her head. So Linda's engage
ment was a surety now.
Somewhere a clock was striking
three. Life went on, went fast or
slow, all depending on the one who
walked the path with you.
She looked at the head on the
story. Then she gave a small cry.
This wasn't at all what she expect
ed to see.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

IT WAS Caroline who had tele-
phoned to Linda just as she was
ready to leave the Office for a late
sandwich.
LINDA? That actress-wench has
been calling you. She tried to
change her name, but caught the
fiber of her voice. She seems to
want to see you. Before I caught
on I told her you were working
late. I'm calling to warn you"
"She won't annoy me here. Any
way, she's a guest artist on a

honey, and you'll catch sr. She's

smiled at the actress. felt sud

Caroline, she's ancient and old
and tired. Terry's just being good

words weren't convincing.

The voice hardened. Don't work
too late"
Linda called to the assistant,
asking her to join her, but the girl
refused. May ! work at your
desk while you're gomez" she
asked. IT'S fat and so much wider
I'm trying to paste up the

"Of course, and I'll turn on the
radio. Ever hear Nina Nevins ?"
"Of counsel She's glorious. Is she

was eagerness in the girls plain
face,
Dialing for the station where
Nina was appearing. Linda tried
to tell herself that perhaps Nina
could be forgiven for much because
she could bring beauty and ecstasy
to narrow, struggling lives. Maybe
viewed from some remote promon-
tory, life was orderly and circum-
spect. Maybe only those who were
too close to a pattern felt vague
and confused.
She found the program which
she sought and waited until the
FIRST act of the dramatic skit came
on. All, there was Nina, but her
glorious voice was tired and
strained tonight. Some Of The vital

Of the recital"
Linda looked back at the girl
from the door. Clarabell Alderman
had put on a green eye-shade TO
protect her eyes from the desk
lamp. She had switched off the
other lamps so the room was in
shadow beyond the quiet pool Of
light where she sat
"I'll be back soon," Linda called.
It would be dreadful to be so alone,
not to have Ronnie waiting, not to
have the stars and the moon and
love and laughter for your own, but
to thrill forever to a strange voice
across a shining network.
Poor Clarabell! A little later she
was to remember the sympathy
that almost made her wait and not
eat until the evenings work was
over.
For a long time after she had
delivered her message to Linda,
Caroline sat quietly on the soft
divan, waiting, waiting
If Terry had come that long dis
lance downtown from the radio Of
fees on the chance that he might
find -her-in, surely he would call
later. A woman had no pride no
independence to let a man rove
and then be harbor to receive
him, she knew. But sometimes love
could not be confined. And some
times men went questlng blindly,
and were grateful to find that
candles still burned for them
against their late return. -
But the clock struck nine and
nine-thirty and ten and Terry had
not called. Suddenly she knew that
he would not. Whatever he had
wanted, he did not need her now.
She must not sit here and weep.
She must not pine. She must be
gay, gay, gay. She must laugh and
pretend that nothing, nothing ever
was important.
An artist for whom she had been
posing had asked her to go to din

He had said that he would be
working late in his studio If she
should change her mind.
Well, she had changed II. She
leafed through the Manhattan di-

dialed.
Her voice was husky and low and
sweet when she spoke. There was

On Disharoon Farm

The Lower Shore was swept by a
gale and heavy rainstorm on Wednes-
day shortly after two o'clock and left
a trail of damage through Worcester
County.
High winds prevailed for about ten
minutes but caused little real damage
in Pocomoke, combining itself mostly
to broken limbs and branches.
At the farm of Marion Disharoon,
near Snow Hill, large barn was
blown down, trapping two Negro farm
laborers and five mules. The
two men escaped with cuts and
bruises but three of the five mules
were lost. Several homes were slight
ly damaged by tree limbs.
Heavy rains followed the gale and
continued all afternoon.
