Despite the runaway race made
by the Toronto Maple Leafs up to
the last couple of weeks, before
Detroit began to challenge, the Ma
tional Hockey League has played
to total attendance OF $4,000 more
fans than witnessed the first third
of the race last season.
So the magnates feel pretty much
encouraged, and they figure that
things are due to get steadily bet
ter from now on, especially if De-
troit should make good on IT'S
threat to overtake the Leafs this
week end. The Chicago Black
Hawks, incidentally, lead the at
tendance race thus far with In
average of over 10000 customers
per game.
There should be a sell-out in To-
ronto tonight for the battle be-

KIT NODDED amiably. And
me? I'm never happier than when
] am whipping up cake or turn
ing a neat heel in SOCK"
Yes. you are!" Vance 1eered,
looking down at the expensive
sparkle and softness Of her. There
was scarlet on her finger nails;
jeweled stars cleaned In the cloud
Of her hair. The cut and stark
simplicity Of her evening coat was
as sharp and chic as next months

What are you really like,
Vance ?"

you'll find out and then you'll be
bitterly disillusioned. Where do you
live? ?"
"oh, I'm not going home" she
said quickly. II told you this was
gala night. Gala nights, I've al
ways heard, end with a turn about
the park"
He swung the car into Fifth ave-
rue and turned its blunt nose
north. IT'S bitter night out, lass.
II you get pneumonia, just tell the
folks Vance did 1t because he owes
debt to a lady"
The avenue was silen., almost
dark. The little car sped past the
dark. curtained windows Of many
shops. The note Of gaiety Kit had
hoped to sustain threatened to die
a cold death. She said, Cant you
think OF anything else when you're
with me?"
II could"-in the light from the
dash she could see an impish grin
on his face-"but / wouldn't try 1t

the other.

quietly. Doesn't your coach tell
you not to smoke? incidentally,
who is he? And what sort Of work

routine things. Let's not talk about
them. To tell you the truth, / get
little tired Of the subject l work
and sing and that's all / do. The
whole patterns is set. And l think
when things are set they get dull.
Healey flashed glance Of sur
prise at her, but he said nothing,
and she did not see the glance.
The car swept around a curve
and the lights picked out silvery
frost in the silhouettes Of the bare
trees. The outlines Of Central Park
South rose in magnificent proper
tons against the rosy sky ahead
Of them.
Kit said. "Oh! Please stop! That
view! 1t thrills me and makes me
feel a little awed. 1 can't believe
that I'm part Of this city. Know
what l mean?"
Sure. l used to feel that way"
The car skidded few feet and
came to stop. He turned up his
coat collar and leaned his head
against the back Of his seat in the
corner.
The girls gaze was on the scene
before her. She shivered and
hunched her shoulders.
"Cold?" he asked, leaning over
her to tuck the blanket higher
about her.
"A Bit" she answered.
He dropped his arm around her
shoulder to give her warmth. With
his left hand he fiicked ashes from
his cigaret, all his attention on the
short butt Of II. His eyes were
seemingly fixed forever on the path
straight ahead.
Kit moved her head a little. A
little nearer to his shoulder. Its

Not a thing" he said easily. He
slid down on the seat. His head was
little above hers then.
An amusing thought occurred to
Kit She parted her lips In a half
smile and turned to him.
She forgot what II was she had
meant to say. His mouth was close
to hers. He bent his head and
pressed It to her lips. Lightly, then
hard. Then he let her 20.
Kit didn't move. ITS nice, isn't
