sat looking down at her hands laced tightly
in her lap, unable to tell him what it was.
Her name was Alice Blain and she was
using it now, though at first, in Hollywood,
she'd tried Kathryn Dawn But Kathryn
Dawn hadn't helped very much. Oh, thered
been bit part in Might of Wolf" She'd
danced in chorus line and smiled sweetly

the glowing letters she'd written home 10
her mother in Bingham. Utah, telling how
wonderful it was to be a wardrobe mistress
in the studio. She'd mentioned the names of
screen stars as if she mingled with them every
day The plain truth was - she sewed on but
tons and mended torn costumes and was
buried out of sight in musty room beneath
the stages.
And the letter she'd written about Dave:
a technician in the sound department, she'd
said. A swell boy who's surely going places
She still believed he was headed for better
things, even it, on his latest job, he did no
more than keep the sound cables from getting
tangled during the confused shooting of
picture.
Abruptly he said "Okay. Suit yourself"
I'm not asking again.
That frightened her, brought up the sudden
wave of lonely, sickening despair that had
filled her lately. 1t was like homesickness -
only she wasn't thinking of going back to
Bingham She wanted so desperately to belong
in Hollywood - to walk the bright streets,
feeling herself somebody; to shop in the enor-
nous stores, buying pretty clothes, lots of
ttem and be gay somewhere every night.
With the right breaks, all that could come
true. She and Dave might work it out to-
gether If only they could wait.
A little wildly she thought of the corny
hox ho1 k,, "a,
always spring when you fall in love, Alice.
But you ought to know man through a
summer and winter, too" 1t had sounded
corny then. Now. Yet Dave wouldn't wait,
she knew he wouldn't. 1t was now or never.
He'd moved away from her on the seat.
She turned impulsively to him. and caught
one of his hands. What more did she want!
Lots of girls were crazy about Dave Weston,
so tall and brown and always so sure of him.
SELF
He smiled down at her knowingly "Okay?"
She gripped his hand needing the comfort
of his sureness. Dave, I'm scared. 1t ,cM be
all right won't it -. mean, right for us?''
Suddenly he laughed and pulled her close.
Baby. it'll be swell!'
i HE street where she had small room in
boarding house was good address; that is,
it was famous street in Hollywood, and very
high class. But even this too was only pre-
tending; for she didn't live in the high-class
part.
Make it fast" Dave said, stopping the
car in front of the house. "Al you'll need
is toothbrush and a nightie''
She ran up the steps and hurried to the
second floor. But in her room she paused and
stood for long moment, looking at the pic
ture of Joe Perdue.
1t shouldn't have troubled her. she d seen
him like this every day. But it did, She
crossed to her dressing table and said gently.
Joe, I'm sorry. Really am"
The snapshot of him was stuck into the
edge of larger framed photograph of her
mother "a chunky, square -shouldered boy
Evening star., 1947-07-06

So as Kathryn Dawn she'd appeared as pair
of nice-looking legs, third from the left.
We'll, Dave urged. what are we waiting
for?"
HAT was the trouble .. what was she
waiting for? Perhaps she was in love with
Dave Weston, though she hadn't known him
very long. But like most things here, it was
hard to tell the honest truth from what you
pretended it to be. Guilty. she remembered

crossed to her dressing table and said gently
Joe, I'm sorry. Really am
The snapshot of him was stuck into the
edge of larger framed photograph of her
mother "a chunky, square-shouldered boy,
black-haired and solid-looking. That had
always been her word for Joe. He was solid.
In the picture, he had on his new, ill-ftting
civilian clothes. She'd laughed when she first
saw it. She wasn't laughing now, and in this
moment, remembering Joe and herself grow
ing up together in that copper mining town,
she felt the sudden sckening wave run through
her body again
