pale green evening sky still held faint golden glow. An old woman at Fifth Avenue held her tray Of flowers up as Marie and Dan passed.
 Hold on," he said, T want to get you a bunch of violets. I don't know much about clothes, but it seems to me they'd look pretty swell on that red suit of yours"
 She laughed. Tt isn't red, it's blue. But that's all the better for violets.
 She pinned them on the lapel of her trim jacket suit as Dan gave the old woman $5 bill and told her to keep the change.
 You could have the whole tray of flowers for that, sir," gasped the old lady.
 Never mind, sell them again" he called over his shoulder, steer ing Marie across Fifth Avenue against the lights
 I've already learned three things about you," she laughed, dodging taxi with him. You're impulsive, your extravagant and you like to take chances"
 Doesn't sound so good, does it?" he asked, as they swung into 58th Street. But still I'm amen able to reason, at least my mother says I am. Dad doesn't think SO"
 He pushed the swinging door of Larue's. She entered. It was the first time she had ever been in the famous French restaurant, though she had often heard the other models talking about it. A pretty little hat-check girl with silky brown hair stepped forward and took Dams coat and hat. Peter himself advanced, as Dan and Marie followed the headwaiter toward the cocktail lounge.
 Good evening, MT. Donovan" He bowed. Tt is nice to see you again. I have your regular table in the corner-"
 Dan interrupted: "This time I want the one on the opposite side, Peter want one where I've never sat before." He looked at Marie. NO old memories, just those that date from today"
 Marie smiled. She had not known Dan five hours and yet she felt she had known him all her life. He made her feel that he would toler- ate no memories with which she was not connected. It was extraor- dinarly flattering. Abruptly, sne found herself con- pairing him to Tommy Ryan. Loyal ly, she struggled to remind herself that she was practically engaged to Tommy, that she had been his girl ever since they were kids. She couldn't go back on him. His wor- ried young face, spattered with blood, as she had seen it last night, came before her.
 Lord, you look serious" ex- claimed Dan, sitting down beside her on the rose leather cocktail banquette, and drawing the black onyx-topped cocktail table toward them. Am I as bad as all that?"
 That's just the trouble" smiled Marie. T think you're very charm ing"
 Keep on thinking so," he plead ed.
 The waiter interrupted with the wine card.
 She slipped the Tom Collins he brought, but Dan neglected his Scotch and plain water while he fished in pocket for his engage ment book.
 What are you doing tomorrow night?" he demanded.
 "Oh, I have date," she hedged
 with whom?"
 She flushed.
 T know. It's none of my busi- ness. But, gee, if you only knew

Wayburn's school. Modest she is,
too, about her voice, but whatever
she can learn about singing she
figures to be helpful.
Department of abuse: Dear Sir
I read your articles all the time
and enjoy them very much. You
are my favorite critic. But I saw
something in your article on Sep
tember 8 that made me very mad!
That was when you named several
stars who depend more on the body
beautiful than acting talent. I
agree heartily with you on most of
them. I heartily disagree about
Robert Preston. Mr.. Preston with
out a doubt has the perfect build
but he does not depend solely on
that. I gather you didn't see him
in Beau Geste' or Union Pacific.
1 admit he played in one Sarong
picture, but you can't condemn him
for that. That boys got plenty of
acting ability, and I think he has
proved that more than once. Be-
ing a Preston fan, I hate to see my
favorlte picked on. In case you
don't know it, you left out Enrol
Flynn. Believe me, he likes to show
his physique more than any one.
Why not pick on pretty boy Flynn?
He is just too duckyl
"A Preston fan"
That seems to leave the next
word up to Flynn. If he wants it.
