ing. Lynn was grateful to him, for
she knew he understood. Later he
offered to drop her at Nine. Rea-
noud'S.
In the taxi he gave her hand a
pat: "Well, kid, new deal. You're
going to get some good cards now.
Nothing can stop a girl with your
looks. III drop in and see you now
and then. How about supper to-
night"
Lynn knew why he asked, knew
he realized how she dreaded that
first evening alone with Rene gone,
too.
I'D be grateful" she said simply.
Maybe I'll have good news for
you" Then she left him.
She worked hard all afternoon to
make up for her morning off, and
she was grateful to think that Marty
would be waiting for her that night
He had been a stanch friend.
He was there when she finished
the days work at o'clock, and he
came into the shop to talk with
Nine. Reanoud.
Its all set, Madam, the boys will
see you about the arrangement for
clothes.
''Can l have Lynn for my Spring
fashion show?" Madam demanded.
BE sure it's understood in the
contract, you'd better cast your eye
over IT,"
Later, Marty and Lynn dined in
a comfortable German restaurant
over Third avenue. They sat long
over their late dinner.

sized it. She has a distinctive
mouth, strong and wide-he did
very little to it, instead of cutting
it down. He gave her a complete
new jaw line, took some of the spar
kle out of her eyes by using small,
heavy eyelashes at the ends of her

her, playing "Corunna,'' a strong
willed, determined girl who helps to
fight the war of 1872.
The artificial fog that hung like

ing the shooting of several Sc
quences bothered members of the
cast and crew; they complained that
the oil mixture left a bad taste in
their mouths. So the special effects
men, always obliging, introduced
vanilla into the fog.
The result was worse than ever
even roast beef and ham sandwiches
tasted like vanilla. The next day
plain fog was used again, and cast
and crew did no more complaining.
By this time motion picture stars
ought to know what to expect if they
go to South America. Remember
Robert Taylor's visit?) The enthu-

Flynn is the latest of the visitors
to find out how popular he is. In
Port au Spain, Trinidad, at least
5000 people stormed the airport to
see the star of 1.-THE Sea Hawk" :;
later, while Flynn was dining, part
of the crowd broke through police
lines in the hotel lobby and
streamed into the restaurant, over
turning tables and chairs. A splin-
tered chair gashed Flynn's leg so
badly that If had to be stitched UP.
His clothes were almost torn from
his back.

miss the most thrilling thing
that has happened so far in
the filming of the picture. 1t
occurred in the scene where
Milland, Miss Colbert and
Garland Lincoln, a veteran
Hollywood stunt pilot, are
scuffiing beside a plane; Miss Col
bert, who plays an American news
paper woman in Paris, has a port
able typewriter, and Milland is bat
ting with Lincoln.
Just as Midland struck Lincoln, a
mechanic inside the cockpit of the
plane knocked one of the throttles
forward The right motor was run
ming, and the plane swung around,
striking Midland and knocking him
to the ground. Wires braced to the
tail surface gashed his leg.
He insisted that he could continue
working, after a doctor had dressed
his leg, but Director Mitchell Lessen
sent him home and shot around him
for the next few days.

Laundering Space

Space must be provided for laun-
dering and household tasks IN the
new small home. If there is base
ment, laundering and most Of the
chores can be done there. Wherever
possible, it is better for laundering
to be done on the first floor. Laundry
work is difficult at best, but when
carried on in unpleasant dark sur
roundings it becomes needlessly
burdensome. Sometimes chores and
laundering can be done In the kitch-
en-, utility room, and to some extent
in the garage.

hung heavy on her hand. She slipped
it off. That was the first thing she
must do. Even Lynn had not real
lied the value of the gorgeous stone
She put il back In its box, wrapped
il carefully, and in a sure hand ad-
dressed it to Raymond Austin, Aus
tin Manor.
Later that week she found a small
studio apartment in Rene's building,
and il was arranged that the few
things he had would be moved there
The days hurried by. Marty had
found an agent to handle her affairs
and there was talk Of contract
with cigarette company for color
photographs.
Rene's belongings were packed In
his new luggage.
I'm still hoping you'll change
your mind, Lynn" Rene said one
evening, just forty-eight hours be-
fore his sailing.
Even if you don't come now, you
could come over later if you change
your mind"
You're a darling, Rene. wish
could"
But both of them were sure her
answer was final.
The day Rene was to leave, Lynn
got the morning off from the shop.
She cooked Rene's last breakfast IN
her new apartment, and a lot of
people dropped In to say good-by
Marty was there, Of course. He was
going to the boat, and so were sew
eral of Rene's artist friends. Lynn
was glad there was lot of excite
ment, and even at that early hour,
Marty was labelling out the high
balls with gusto. There was little
time for Rene and Lynn to talk. But

kitchenette for moment.

CHAPTER XVIII

Lynn's lovely face, in colors,
smiled out from the back Of the
magazines these days.
Rene, in Rome, saw the first color
photographs and cabled his congrat-
ulations. When that cable was de-
ivered to her Lynn hardly had
strength to open it. For that hope
sprang always-that Wild might re-
lent.
1t was gorgeous Autumn day.
Lynn, by force of habit, turned
straight to the society columns. That
was the only word she had nova
days of Wild. And that was so lit
tie. She knew when Mrs. Austin
left or returned from her Palm
Beach home. She knew when Chuck
joined his brother in Algiers in the
early Spring and when he returned.
It was there she learned Wild was
on trip around the world. And
there was a great bitterness IN her
heart as she read.

He can go wherever he chooses
forget!"
There had been a photograph of
Wild big-game hunting in India, en-
tertained by maharajah. She
pushed the paper from her. No
news today.
Rene had been faithful. His let
tiers were a bright spot in her life.
He did not write often, but when
he did he gave her delightful pic
ture of his life in Rome. He was
working like mad, painting wildly
And always the same plea: Come. I"
Often for hours she'd forget about
Wild. Then suddenly she'd find her
self sitting in a restaurant where
they had dined, and it was all she
could do to keep from running out
Of the place. Or she would pass a
book shop where they'd fingered on
a lazy afternoon.
she got home that day and she hur-
ried into the building. In her studio
she found letter from Rene.
She undressed leisurely and then
slipped into bed. Now. She slit the
envelope Out fell some snapshots.
They were Rene and a pretty bru-
rette girl. MY new model" That
was the way one of the pictures
was labeled.
He had been vacationing I'D IN the
mountains. That is why he had not
written. He had been Ill. A cold
again and the doctors had ordered
him away. That's where he'd found
his new model.
IN always miss you, Lynn" he
said as she read on. But life must
go on. I'm glad the work is going
well for you. Your pictures I see
every place where they sell Ameri-
can magazines. 1t is exciting get
ting the new ones. But they're so
expensive over here that don't buy
them. I permit myself the luxury
of stopping at the newsstands and
looking at your face"
The next few paragraphs left
Lynn white-faced. You remember
what / said once. If I ever wanted
my freedom, I'd tell you. I think it
is better that you settle things once
and for all. I say this after thinking
about the matter for long time.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 15.-South-
ern Conference football squads have
been driven indoors for practice by
bad weather so often this week they
probably would feel more at home
if some of Saturdays games were
shifted to the basket ball courts.
Some of the squads, whose aces
have been ailing, have profited by
the semi-idleness and, barring any
adverse effects sunlight may have
on the boys grown used to the
gloom. the teams should be in pretty
fair shape.
North Carolina's passing combine
Of Jim Lalanne and Paul SEVERN
was repQted mending as the Tar
Heels prepped in the gymnasium
for the meeting with favored Duke.
The Blue Devils, kept indoors
themselves for two days, disregarded
the rain and slush and worked out
for an hour in the stadium.
V. M. rs Cadets lodged the damp
ness, too, and ran through a signal
drill on the basket ball court. The
Cadets meet Maryland in confer
ence game at Lynchburg.
Washington and Lee, finding out
that it never rains but it pours, re-
ported the loss of it's third fullback
of the season, Dan Justice, whose
practice injury was diagnosed as a
broken leg. Preston Brown. a big
wingback, is being groomed for the
fullback spot.

The big boy from Shepherdstown,
w. Va, has worked himself down
to 153 pounds through steady prac-

Usually he weighs around ITO

for the winter tour, and although
he has played poorly during the
past summer, he can win a slice
of the big money over the next

has started.
OF course, the best part of Wal

fidence. When he misses 20-footer,
he wonders why. That happens to
be a very big part in this game,

Jimmy Leech, a stif1 -necked cadet
who crossed the opponents goal
lines "a times in 1920, kicked two
field goals and 4s points after touch
downs. The sum total Of his esca-
pades added up to 2l0 points-a
record that since has withstood the
ravages of time.
But when you mention v. NJ I. at

how "Untz" Brewer beat the Cadets

That was when the gridiron was
located on the campus proper, west

football players disdained haircuts
from August to December.
It Was . Good Story.
It was quite a duel to hear the
old timers tell it, personal battle
between Brewer, greatest kicker in
Maryland's history, and Leech, the
greatest back ever schooled at stern
v. M. I. The yarn picked up color
and interest with each telling, like a
giant SNOWFALL gaining size as it rolls
downhill. In fact, 1t was 50 good the
last time we listened we decided to
dig back into the archives and get
the bloody facts at first hand.
1t was a horrible mistake. Either
the old-timers have allowed the
imagination to take bit in teeth and
run away with them or the reporter
who covered the game was in q
hurry to get home. His write-up
leaves you with the cold impression
that Brewers brace of field goals
were commonplace and Leech was
just another guy wearing a football
suit. But that's what happens when
you have a couple of men of their
stature around. Field goals and
touchdowns happen too frequently
to be appreciated.

one sentence, to wit: 'Leech made
the touchdown after three successive
drives at the line from the 2-yard
line and then Gay kicked the goal"
This. incidentally, eliminated a
march from midfeld. He treated
Brewer equally casually, again to
wit: Just after the beginning of
the second quarter State carried the
ball from the kickoff to the 20-yard
line of the visitors, from where, after
being held. Brewer, who had been
substituted for Macdonald at right
half, dropped back and booted the
ball behind the posts for the second
field goal Of the game"
The last sentence was the coup
de grace: Shortly after the begin
ming Of the fourth quarter, when
State was held on v. M. rs 15-yard
line. Brewer dropped back and again
booted the ball over the bar for 3
points"
Old-timers, of course, will take vio-
lent issue with anybody who wants
to dismiss the performance of either
player so lightly. Greatest game
ever played at Maryland, they say
some of the greatest kicking ever
seen-finest ball handling and tack
ling, ETC., but the covering reporter
evidently didn't appreciate it at that
time. Or maybe his paper was tight
for space.
Both left school for World War
service and returned after the
armistice to complete their educa-
ton and win greater laurels on the
gridiron. Brewer went on kicking
field goals, so nonchalantly the only
time his kicks were mentioned was
when they missed, and Leech gall
loping onward to touchdowns and
glory that remains undimmed to
this day.
