O. course S.eena was not fooling
herself. she knew that a man like
WAYNE lad kissed many girls
without its meaning anything. But
with her she meant that it should.
one kiss would lead to another.
which should lead tC the end
Sttena was working toward. the
reason she had decided to be an air
hostess. that wealthy husband She
meant to land.
The average stay Of q hostess
was two years until she married:
this was an accepted fact Oh most
of the big airlines: one ever pre-
sentcd any girls who stayed longer
with a pin as a sort Of badge or re-
ward. Steena hoped it would not
take two years TO set a proposal of
marriage from Wayne COPYRIGHT,
although it would be worth it. Her
dream now as not just for any
man OF wealth and other attributes.
| who might do for a prospective
husband. It centered on Wayne
alone. He was the one. the only one
now. No other would do.
Steena did not ask herself if this
was because she loved him. That
! could come later. 1t would not be
/ difficult to fail in love with Wayne.
He was not only the most attluent
man she ever had met, but the most
attractive, by far. She knew she
was rOt the only woman who had
discovered this. There must have
been plenty before her, but one
more beautiful, as she knew, though
without conceit-for Steena real
izad her beauty vas her chief asset;
none more determined or clever.
She had been annoyed when the
c'lief hostess-Miss Picklepuss to
IIarg and T~ibby-had told her that
Wayne was teaching Miss Lane to
fly. The chief hostess and Steena
were friendly, not only because
there never was any fault to find
with Steena's personal appearance
and neatness, but because Steena
had made it her business to see that
they were. She had felt that such
a friendship would prove useful.
And Steena seldom overlooked any
advantage. However, now, she told
herself, she was confident there
was nothing to be annoyed about.
libby was not clever or beautiful.
She was a nice little thing, all
wrapped up in her enthusiasm over
flying. And she had a boy friend
that handsome young doctor. No
doubt she would become engaged
to him. since they We're childhood
sW~eetheartS.
But libby had better r...lember
what Steena had said. She had bet
ter not try any tricks-where
Wayne was concerned. She had bet
ter see to it that there remained
between them only the most i'm
personal relationship. Or Steena
would see that she should be sorry
she had not. That young doctor was
indeed handsome, so handsome he
had taken Steena's breath-anG
!, quickened her pulse. 1t would moi
be difficult at all to play up to him,
to take him away from libby, even
should it suit her purpose, although
!. she hoped, since Steena really wa:
not spiteful - only determined --
that such measures as that WcIlc
| not prove necessary.

 "The Talk of the Town" pre- senting its star trio with roles of equal and valuable merit, is reported to be 8 motion picture made for laughter and for excitement.

Escaping from jail he takes refuge in the country cottage rented by Colman, who is cast as bearded law school dean, dignified and impractical, a man convinced that the theory of the law is of sole importance; its practice is not his concern. Miss Arthur is the town gossips' favorite target, Q warm hearted, lovable young woman who aids Grant in his refuge, and joins with him in attempting to convince Colman that the theory and the practice must go hand in hand.
