was relayed by Victoria's devoted
maid, Hazel. who opportunely re-
marked, He certainly seems to
care for you, dear"
Victoria retired to her room,
wept briefly (she did not know
Why, and that night at dinner re-
versed her decision.
Albert Hime was a pleasant man.
People liked him, although never
intensely. Smallish, neat, well
dressed, he chose only the most
conservative checks and plaids, so
that while his appearance suggest
ed southern California-Albert was
a producer of Class B films-it did
not suggest Hollywood at all. He
had a smooth face which wore a
moderate tan when he was not too
busy at the studio for an hours
sun each day; otherwise it was pal
lid except at the days end, when
his dark beard showed bluely
against his skin. His eyes were al
most dreamy, and were OF a pale,
melted greenish color edged by
dark lashes, topped by black brows.
His ears had a peculiar attraction
for Victoria. They were neat and
pointed and showed at close range
faint, hirsute softneSs, like the
bloom on peach.
They dined at Chasen's; Albert
was at home with its elegance. "A
few years ago" he said, II might
have wanted to marry a quite diff
ferent person. Now l want more
than a pretty face with nothing
behind It. I want an intelligent
woman with whom l can talk and
work and plan"
1T sounds, said Victoria, very
dull"
He shook his head, smiling a 1T
tie. The pretty women don't really
give enough, Victoria. They take
more from a man than they ever
give back. You are not a pretty
woman. You have one Of the most
interesting faces have ever seen.
I have often thought that your face
would be good carved out of smooth
golden wood. The planes are excel
lent-strong. proud and clean" He
examined her face for a moment
with his dreamy eyes. They met
hers, and were infinitely kind and
knowing. You would always give
a man a little more than he ever
expected. You would give it and ac-
cept no thanks and say Skip it,
forget 1t, I'm glad had what you
needed of me-
Touched, Victoria did not want
to show it. In other words" she
said lightly. I'm a good deal"
Albert laughed delightedly. Yes,
IL you want to put it that way you
are. But this is unimportant. You
haven't told me yet what made you
change your mind, what made you
decide finally to marry me"
Victoria grinned at him. Il think
it's because your name is Albert.
Victoria and Albert It's more

Because he was producing a film,
and because she had just signed a

do l really look like that?" she
asked Albert. II was the morning
after their wedding. They were
seated side by side on the sofa in
the living room Of Victoria's house.
Hazel was busy disposing Of the
last signs of revelry left from the
enormous and casual reception OF
the night before.
You're not photogenic," he told
her. Glancing closely at him, she
saw that he was looking at his own
pictured face, not hers. This evil
dence Of masculine vanity amused
her.
We're going to get on WE'LL" she
said. II think we understand each

"You do me too much credit" he
told her with solemn amusement.
You are a riddle to me. always

you down pat you do something to
confuse me-"
But in spite Of this happy begin
ming, the first few months OF their
marriage were trying ones. Albert
felt 1t somehow sighting to him
that they should live In Victoria's
house. 1t was low adobe struc-
ture, the rooms sprawling around
a small center patio. the tiled roof
almost hidden by thick bougaIn-
villea vine whose vivid cerise was
all that could be seen through the
! low, close-packed trees Of the deep
front yard. For no known reason

the dining room. The living room.
with its floor Of big terra-cotta oc-
tagonal tiles, lay long and dim be-
yond II. This room was casually
furnished with comfortable chairs,
a sofa which had seen better days,
vivid orange curtains. On either
side OF the fireplace at the far end
were two packed bookcases. On the
wall facing the south window three
grotesque Mexican masks OF tin
stared down. There we're two more

toria had made few changes since
buying the house and its furniture.
She had liked the place immediate
ly, because it had seemed to her
house which did not try to be
charming, or arresting, or anything
but itself She still liked it. Albert
did not.
Victoria refused to rent the large
Brentwood place he desired, point
ing out that larger house could
not possibly be cared for by Hazel
alone, while the employment prob
lem would make the hiring Of an
other servant impossible. And any
how, she didn't want another ser

joyed the comfortable arrangement
of being cared for by Hazel, who
knew all her little ways, and she
did not want to change.

CHAPTER ONE

WHEN VICTORIA JASON mar
ried Albert Hime, her so most inti-
mate acquaintance gasped. Some
wondered how she got him. The
witty ones amused themselves by
postulating, with delight. the num-
Der Of bizarre situations which a
marriage involving Victoria Jason
might bring to full, rich flower.
For when he image of Victoria
was called to their minds, it was
Victoria in the throes Of explaining
a story she was writing. At such
times she paced. II she happened
(as was frequently to be wearing
slacks and a shirt, the shirttails
always worked themselves out and
ballooned behind her small solid
body as she pursued a thought
down the length Of a room. Her
short, crisp. graying hair. which
looked at best as though II were be-
ing blown forward by a strong
wind, was described by one dazed
observer as having been stirred by
an egg beater. Her harlequin eye
glasses became crooked on her
pointed face; her cigarets were
stabbed out on any horizontal sur
face; she drank from glass and
set It down just short of the table,
staring with startled but disinter-
ested eyes as it fell to the floor
and shattered. BY the time Victoria
came to consider her idea adequate
ly explained, everyone present was
limp with exhaustion: Victoria
would peer triumphantly from face
to face, her mouth stretched wide
in its engaging smile, her gray eyes
bright as a child's, quite unaware
that she looked like a person who
had just fed from a burning house.
And Albert was a quiet man.
But none Of these speculations
about the marriage approached the
truth, which once more justified IT.

Nor did Victoria's own specula-

imagine was another divorce, eX-
cusable when It happened to Vic
toria Jason Harriss at "a, and even
a little sad. but If 1t happened to
Victoria Jason Hime at "a, minus
the sanction Of youth and ardor and
hotheadedness, lugubrious and en-
barraSsing failure. And Victoria did
not like failures.
So it was not until six months
after his first proposal Of marriage
that she agreed to marry Albert.
Albert got Victoria. He got her be-
cause she liked him, because of his
frank admiration of what he called

unfailing small attentions, pleasant

and a desirable one.
Before she agreed to the mar
riage Victoria refused him fatty
and took an unnecessary trip to
New York, where she allowed her
self the lachrymose indulgence Of
revisiting the scenes where her first
marriage had spun to its ugly close.
When she returned to her little
house in Beverly Hills, she found
