fattening bread. mo. can't blame you
This started Mrs. Simms on a fearful mono
logue which lasted through soup and entree
and might have continued through dessert
had there not been dramatic interruption.
Miss Mnnie's brother Joe arrived. He came
in huffing and putting "a typical heart case
with that f1orid complexion, if there ever was
one) and did very hammy take-em as his
eyes focused on Joyce Simms.
"A find. Minie" he exclaimed.
Turning to the startled girl. Miss Minnie
explained: This is my brother. Joe Turlock.
He's in pictures. Sit down, joe
Darling. said Joe to Mrs. Simms, you're
the first gd ever saw Minnie with that had
picture possibilities.

Miss Minnie frowned. Mrs. Simms has a
new husband to look after, Joe," she said,
'and I'm sure she wouldn't be interested in
picture job"
We'll, l what sorta job?"
Ever done any acting, honey"
Joe! Stop it. You're getting the poor child
all f1ustered"
I'm not flustered - you mean you think
might get screen test some time?
Brother Joe considered that he had done
enough stalling around.
Look. angel" he said. Il can get you
screen test in twenty minutes. if you say the
word Minnie will tell you I'm a married man
with three children and strictly on the level.
Right, Minnie?"
(Coniinvsd on poes 15)
Evening star., 1940-10-06

Don't you think I've got right an justice
on my side, Miss Mnnie?"
About Waltz"
Yeah"
"We-ell, you're partly right"
Look, Miss Minnie Joyce said. He
claims l should of kicked before we married.
He claims I'm two-faced. Well, l was. I'm
crazy about Walt. knew l wouldn't have
chance to get him interested in me if said
was against test plotting. He busted up with
another girl on that account. But figured.
After we're actually married he'll wanta
settle down in one place. He'll look at things
differently. He won't wanta 60 chasing up to
Seattle an down to San Diego an clear across
to New York all the time Gee Miss Minnie,
can you blame me for that"
Evening star., 1940-10-06

She wants you to quit:
Yeah
Why"
''Aw, she thinks have to run around too
much testing"
1T isn't the danger?'
Mr. Sinms was bitter. Hal They don't
care if you get killed - just so you stay
home
You - you've been quarreling about it,"
Yeah. Some honeymoon. Fightin' all the
time
Miss Minnie blinked ''Didn' she know you
were test pilot when she married yOu?"
Walt WINGED and almost cried aloud:
They don't throw fits on you until they
get you good an married, Miss Minnie" he
said. 1T came out of clear sky. Then" - he
glowered - she found me job in engineer
ing at Douglas She says I've got to quit an
take it or else - That's what she said Or
else
where's Joyce now"
Home - if she hasn't left
Taking the address of Waits honeymoon
bungalow in Santa Monica, Miss Minnie
sighed.
Mind if l go talk to her. Waltz
Nav But fat lot of good -"
You'll fly our ship if she says it's okay?"
Fat chance she'll say that"
But wiH you?"
Hell - excuse me - she don't own me-
III fly it anyways. I'm not yellow gutter.
If that's the way she wants it - or else -
why -" But his voice uailed off, and Miss
Minnie. wise in the ways of man, knew that
he didn't mean it. Walt was much in love
with his bride If she remained adamant
Air-Nav would have to get another test pilot
You wait here till phone you" she said.
"A PRETTY blond girl, slim-hipped and wide
shouldered in the fashion of California; s 1910
model maidens opened the door for Miss
Minnie She had been crying; her hair was
storm-tossed mop and her eyes we're danger
ously stubborn. Miss Minnie. however. looked
at her with the characteristic reflection that
she seemed anemic and would have hard

Mrs. Walt SInms bristled.

Out of what?'
Waits not going to do any more test

and ="
oh, l don't know anything about that.
Operations handles the test pilots. I'm an old
friend of Waits. Just ran into him at a place
on the beach," Then, casually, Hes drink

Il don't care
You should, dear" said Miss Minnie,
pleasantly calm Hes gall-bladderish. In
toxication to gall-bladderish man can be
fatal.'
With this announcement, Miss Minnie
walked into the bungalows living room and
sat down. She then proceeded to describe
Mrs. Simms's husband as perfect clinical
picture of gall bladder trouble. To young Mrs.
Simms the sight of primly dressed, spinster-
ish and middle-aged woman talking with such
authority ON medical matters was battling

Mr. Ralph Holoomb, that used to work
for at the Acme Milling Company, never had
the slightest idea either" said Miss Minnie
firmly.
BY the time Miss Minnie had described
Mr. Holoomb's S case, the ice was broken. Mrs.
Simms had limited but precise list of medi-
cal histories also. She found that if Miss
Minnie was vigorous teller of the tale, she
was likewise an avid listener. Glad of any
distraction from her domestic crisis, Mrs.
Simms grew quite chatty.
Before she was aware of the passage of
time, Miss Minnie was saying: MY goodness,
it's late bet you haven't thing in the house
to eat You get your hat and coat and eat
dinner with me"

Minnie excused herself to telephone. She
called Walt Simms and had brief converse
ton with him. She called her brother Joe at
the studio and had a longer talk. Rejoining

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 9.-The
zig-zag trail of the Ralph Waldo
Emerson postage stamp that's worth
a lot more to collectors than its
3-cent face value, lew curious phi
latelists toward Connecticut today.
Collectors and the Post Office De-
partment have been trying to find
out how the stamps, part OF an
authors" commemorative series
turned up on letters at scattered
places, before they went on sale at
the Boston post Office last Tuesday,
day ahead Of the rest of the Nation.
Elmer r. Long, Harrisburg stamp
dealer. helped solve the mystery
with this explanation: He received
a batch of the stamps from a GUS
toner in Connecticut, who had
bought them from postmaster to
whom a stamp evidently was just
stamp.
Mr.. Long promptly stuck them on
envelopes and shot them into the
mails, he said, to enhance their
value as first day" specimens.
Then they began turning up with
postmarks of such widely separated
cities as Harrisburg, Salt Lake City,
Rockville, Md, and Summerville,
