to her. Lynn was in a panic at
what he might say.

"She's been in the garden TO

with a laugh. Mrs. Austin was

Mrs. Austin made q mental note
to speak to Terry when the oppor-

Mr.. Austin was presented to Lynn.
Wild joined Lynn and his father.

Lynn slid over the edge of the

"I'n teach you to dive one of these

The others were calling to each

easily. Lynn felt a little out of
things, and then chided herself for
her thoughts.
After all, am an outsider"
Mrs. Austin gave the signal
shortly to everybody that it was
time to dress for dinner.
Dinner seemed interminable.
Lynn sat down the table from Wild,

man from Asheville. Coffee was
served on the terrace. Then Mrs.

do but smile gracefully and accept
the situation.
The five tables settled themselves

FAST with some of the golfers, and
then the two of them went off for q
sail. Wild took along a basket, and
Lynn wore her bathing suit.
Lying on the deck, covered with
sun-tan oil, Lynn relaxed, watched
Wild sail the smart little catboat
expertly. They were so perfectly
happy there together, scooting along
In the wind. Lynn did not stop to
ask why.
Toward noon they made for a reef
which offered some shade, and went
for a swim. Later, lying in the
shade, they had their lunch.
"This is perfect. You're a nice
companion, Lynn" He turned over
and smiled up at her. "You know
something I've always wondered.
How did you get back up North?"
Lynn's heart was pounding. She
felt there was danger ahead. Final
ly she answered: Rene"
"Rene?"
I've meant to tell you the whole

to tell the truth, then and there.

Denis Day became singing star of
the Jack Benny show because an
inflamed appendix kept him out of
law school. An honor graduate of
Manhattan college in New York,
Eugene Denis McNulty won a schol-
arship that entitled him to try city
government work for several
months. He chose radio, and was
doing production work at the city's
broadcasting station, pending his en-
try to law school, when the appen-
dix interfered just as his law classes
we're about to begin.
When he got out of the hospital it
was to enter law school that year.
He turned again to radio, got onto
a sustaining program, and made a
recording which Jack Benny's agent
heard.
He was summoned TO Hollywood;
Benny was looking for tenor TO re-
place Kenny Baker, you'll remem-
