MISS ROYAL SPEAKING

Vivian stood up, too. Dan
Branch, you're insane. And if
Father thinks -"
Father isn't doing the think
ing" said Dan. II am. This is
my idea. Get your bag. If you
aren't down in five minutes I'll
come up after you" His face
looked just as it had on the day
that Hartford High had got
around Mappawa's left end and
taken the ball to within two feet
of the goal line. Suddenly Vivian
burst into tears and ran to the
stairway. Hallway up she stopped
and looked down at him. you

Branch. l can have you arrested.
l can ="
Get your bag" said Dan, "or
shall l carry you out of here
without your gear?"
A FEW minutes later Mrs. May
belle Caldwell came out of the
corner market where she had
been using the pay booth. She
watched the young couple get
into the cab and then she wad-
died contentedly down the street
and entered her boarding house.
Walking into the visitors room,
she lifted the cushion of the chair
where Miss Vivian Royal had
been sitting.
She picked up a dog-eared,
brown-covered booklet on whose
cover was printed the following:
Rosie and Her Suitors, a Mono
logue on the Telephone. Written
by ]. Hanford jerks expressly
for Miss Maybelle Caldwell.
Mrs. CALDWELL smiled. The
kid did real good" she said to
herself. "She was almost as good
as ! was. But she'd never be as
good as that on the stage. Never
in the world. Because she don't
want the stage as bad as she
wants that boy and Mappawa
Falls"
Mrs. Caldwell felt happy. After

phone rang on the rickety library
table with its stacks of ancient
theatrical and movie magazines.
Vivian answered it. Hello? .
This is Miss Royal speaking. .
Why. Dickie, darling! How are
you?" There followed quite a
long conversation during which
Dan took a great interest in his
nails. At last Vivian replaced
the receiver. That was Dick
Sutton" she said brightly. He's
a broker downtown. Does terri
bly, well. He asked me to marry
him and live in Connecticut -"
You mean he asked you just
now on the phone?"
"Oh, no. Months ago. But he
can't quite believe l want to 60
on the stage first"
"First?" said Dan. That is,
you mean ="
The telephone rang again and
again it was for Vivian. Poor,
poor Hal" she said to Dan after
what seemed to him to have been
a passage of fifteen or twenty
minutes. His wife left him, you
know. And he has the most tre-
mendously popular band and
now he can't decide whether to
accept an offer from the Waldorf
or the St. Regis roof"
You seem to know an awful
lot of guys" Dan Branch said.
I'm wondering if maybe your
father isn't -"

Oh, Hans, / couldn't. Yes, got
your letter, and the cable, and
the flowers, but just couldn't. 1t
would be utterly mad. 1t
She stopped because Dan
Branch had walked across to the
table, taken the telephone firmly
and replaced it in its cradle. He
was looking down at her with an
expression which was as deter
mined as his grip on the tele-
phone. Look" he said, you're
going back to Mappawa Falls
with me tonight. There's a train
in just forty-hve minutes. Pack

Job Of Keeping
Communists Out
Is Left TO the
UNC Officers

At their meeting here Tues
day the trustees of the Univer-
sity adopted unanimously a
resolution, introduced by former
Governor Ehringhaus, declaring
that the responsibility Of keep
ing Communists out of the en-
ploy of the institution, ana the
determination of how this is to
be done, should be left to the
University administration.
While nobody voted against
the resolution, several members
of the board took advantage of
the opportunity that it present
ed to express dissatisfaction
with what they declared to be
the University's indulgence of
Communists in the past. Arising
to comment on some of this
criticism, trustee John w. TIM
stead said: 'The trouble with
Communists is not peculiar to
the University of North Caro-
lima. The same thing is happen
ing at universities and colleges
all over the country. The only
difference is that here it hasn't
been covered up. 1t has, been
brought into the open and talked
about"
The meeting was presided
over by c. arnor Scott as ex-ofs
fcio chairman of the board.
the Ehringhaus resolution
was an acceptance of a recon-
mendation made by Acting
President Carmichael and the
heads of the three divisions Of

University administration rec

versity," signed by The Acting
