Tulsa-born Miss ODrisooll was
given dancing lessons from the
age of 8 When she was q. the
family moved 10 Phoenix, Ariz..
and there she attained such pre-
cocious physical development that
Hollywood was quite willing TO &C
cept her age as Is when she and
her mother came here in 1885.
For nearly year, she danced in
all the musicals at Paramount and
then accepted a contract at Uni
versal. where her true age. Il. was
discovered. That brought compli-
cations: II meant that she had to
attend school. that she was too
young for chorus work. but that
she was too mature looking for
sub-ingenue roles.
After a few small parts and a
considerable interval in which she
finished high school. the O'Driscoll
career took an upturn in 193a-40.
then faltered again. Now lust
turning 20, she's hack at Para
mount Her parts IN Pacific
Blackout' and Reap the Wild
Wind led 10 her rediscovery. and
now she's established as one of the
towns most fetching feminine
leads.

put the place in Belle's name and by her holding on to it, it would appear that he was trying to avoid his obligations. That would ham, per him in his efforts to make a comeback, too, certainly so far as trying to establish credit went.
 But he was not bitter about her, After all" he said, "the place was put in her name so that she'd be protected. She's within her rights in refusing to give it up. She feels that she's no longer very young and that she's entitled to security n she feels also," he added, grinning ruefully, "that since I'm not so very young either the chances of my making a come back are not very good and the gamble would be too great, it would simply be throwing good money after bad"
 T never heard such damn non- sense" Peter said furiously. T cant think of half dozen of the topnotchers who are anywhere near a match for you in keenness and ability. Times are bad, sure. But they won't stay that way" He evaded the question of age.
 Bruce grasped Peters arm and gave it an affectionate pressure. T know he said. "'We'll come through it. of course. But there may be some trying times ahead. And I feel as though I've let you down. Your tuition, fortunately, is paid. but I don't know how we'll manage about your living expenses"

"If that's all that's worrying youl" He was fiercely grateful for his fathers generosity heretofore in the matter of an allowance. and for the work that had kept him too busy to have time for spending much Of 1t.

 She thought it best not to men, tion how' tired he had appeared to her, how strained. "Belle?" she questioned. "I'll bet she didn't mention me, did she?"
 No, as a matter of fact she didn't. Why?"
 Candace giggled again. "She's furious with me-" she conflded. She practically put me out and warned me never to darken her door again when I told her I was going into training" She grew suddenly serious. You don't feel that way about nursing, do you, Peter? What did you honestly think, when wrote you what I was do- ing?"
 Peters heart commenced a sud- den humping that interfered with his breathing. A less suspicious time, just now when he'd learned that he had scarcely cent in the world and when. for all he knew, he might have to assume some of Bruce's obligations, could scarcely have been found for acquainting Candace with his feelings; but the opportunity she offered was too great and he could not, he found, help himself.
 He said meaningly, trying for light tone, T thought it was swell. I thought, What wife she'll make for struggling young physicianp"
 He was totally unprepared for the blush that dyed her crimson. "Peter!" she cried, Peter, you guessed! Or did he tell you? Well, anyway. I don't suppose it mat ters, just so you do know. But he did promise to let me tell you"
 Peter repeated slowly, He? Who?"
 Why, Martin, silly Candace said tremendously, laughing. Stop teasing, Peter" The fierce blush had brought tears brimming to her eyes; ashamed of her emotion she duckged her head, hiding her face against his coat sleeve. I'm so glad he your best friend Peter. The three of us can always be together. I couldn't bear the thought of being separated all the time from you"
 Peter rose so sharply that it was as If he had pushed her. She stared up at him, startled. Why, what's the matter?"
 He said, trying to smile, I've got to get in to town"
 She looked like a child who has been repulsed and doesn't under stand the reason. But right now? Right this minute?"
 "Ive got to see Dad" he said. Even to himself his voice sounded stiff and forced. And" he added, congratulate the lucky man." He bent to kiss her briefly. He is very lucky. And I hope, my dear. that you'll be happy"
 Peters interview with his father yilded him little satisfaction. Bruce seemed determined to appear un- worried. Things were pretty bad at the moment. he admitted. but there was reason to hope that something might yet be salyaged from the wreck: they wouldn't know that de. finltely for another month or SO,
 The thing that hurt him worst, as Peter had suspected, was Belle's stand. She mad refused to allow the mortgage on TuckaRasa that might have aYeFted fhe ca- fafrophe. Bruees strongest pride was his reputation for integrity, IIs Has afraid that by he having

Those amazing eyes Df hers, that ranged from clear gray to a deep, almost-purple &C., eording to her moods, appeared at their largest and darkest because of the Smudges of weariness beneath them. Her face was pale and she appeared tired, but there could be no doubt that she was happy. They met in front of the nurses home and there were people pass tng 50 that they greeted formally; but her glance flung its arms bout him and the pressure of her hands did the rest.
