He chuckled. These look like something
picked by a small boy in secret woods"
Vera was solemn. Perhaps they were,"
she said. There was no card with them"
Paul put his hands behind his back and
shut his eyes. He knew something was
wrong with Vera and he was almost certain
it was not because of the play or her
performance.
Il remember - he said, "Olga Hammer
stone. There was boy of thirteen who
sent her wild flowers regularly. She was
quite entranced. Eventually he came to see
her. They had remarkable friendship,
and he became very good playwright
when she was middle-aged.
VERA knew Paul was not thinking Of his
story. She said, Paul, it's all over. think
it IS. Something's gone out of my heart.
Perhaps it was never there"
II think it was there for WHILE" Paul
said calmly. I'D like to think so"
Vera smiled. ''You can open the door.
But wait. -" She went to him and kissed
him gently. Give me until tomorrow
Paul smiled happily and opened the door,
letting in the first-night well-wishers. hang
ers-on and young hopefuls. ;.
An hour later Vera sat slipping drink in
Makes. She wouldn't let Paul call the
papers. She wanted to wait until they were
on the street. At length one of Paul's lieu
tenants came in with the Herald Tribune,
the Times and the News.
'You know love you, " Paul said lightly,
'even though you will probably steal the
notices"
Il know. It's very gratifying. Your love,
/ mean."

XTERA dressed hastily and rubbed as much
' of the theatrical makeup off her face
as was possible within few minutes. Then
she opened the door and let them in.
She knew very well the play would not
60 over. 1t was one of those fantasies
adapted from the French that are marvel
Gus hits in Paris and London but seem
slight when transferred to the noisy clatter
of Broadway.
Paul Duncan was the first in. He had
produced fifty European plays, and it would
not trouble him too much if he had an
infrequent flop. Vera looked at him with
wistful smile. He was extremely handsome
in his well-tailored evening clothes. His
hair was graying at the temples, but his
face and eyes were still youthful.
He turned to the backstage crowd and
said, Forgive me. Miss Vance will see
you in a moment" He shut and locked
the door behind.
Vera took step forward from her dress
ing table, and Paul embraced her. Don't.
Paul." she said. ''I'm rather tired
Paul turned aside and regarded the noun
tains of flowers that had descended on his
star. In the center of them he observed
small bunch of Molets, unlike the usual
florists type.
Evening star., 1955-07-17

The notices were all much the same. The
play was too thin. Its third act wandered.
While the dialogue was brisk and witty, the
characters seemed hollow with the excep-
ton Of Vera Vance, as the Tilted woman
who put her career as a portrait painter
ahead of her marriage.
Paul read the reviews carefully while
Vera finished her drink. Doug Ashton,
who had done the adaptation, came in and
sat down with them. He was sad and weary.
I'm afraid Ill have to close it Saturday,
Doug" Paul said. F,
The young writer grinned. Cant blame
you. Vera did everything she could for us.
Funny how good show looks in rehearsal
and how bad it can be when you're playing
for keeps"
That's show business" Paul said. He
turned to Vera. Look. I've got two new
scripts. They've got big parts for you. -
Vera interrupted him. I'm awfully tired,
Paul. don't want to think about the
theater tonight
VERA tossed about in bed in her apartment
hotel until sunrise. She lay there thinking
about Robin. 1t was more than two years
ago he had bought the little house in Con-
necticut. Robin was very tall and he had
laughed about the houses they were build
ing today, so low he could paint the ceiling
without even standing on tiptoe.
She and Robin were going to move into
that small house one day; that house sur
rounded by birches and naples and with
little brook running through the acre or
two at the back.
She had been just about to give up the
theater then and marry Robin.

She sat up in bed, made nervous and
uneasy by the memory, and lit cigarette.
The sky was pink glow in the east, and
the sun fiickered through the window.
If she hadn't gone to that party at the
Maxwells', she would probably be happily
married now and, at this very moment,
sweetly asleep in the peaceful Connecticut
country.
At the Maxwells' party she had met Paul.
They chatted long time, in friendly. easy
fashion, because Vera had not known he
was successful producer. She had been
spontaneous and carefree. and Paul had
offered her role in Mornings Here" an
English play. Her part was small, but she
had been acclaimed by the critics and had

Would Have Radios
In County Flows

KALISPELI--Fl county
commissioners are considering a
county road department request
that seven portable radio receiv-
ers and transmitters and home
station be purchased at an esti-
mated cost of $4,000.
One suggestion has been to have
the home" station being replaced
at Flathead county sheriff's office
transferred to the county road
crew headquarters.
Having communications in the
county road equipment would in
crease efficiency. Flows and grad
ers scattered over the county lack
ing communications cannot be con-
tacted through whole days, COM
mented John Waldron, county road
foreman. At times of emergency
there is no practical way to get
word to the plows.
The communications difficulty
has been a problem of long stand
ing.
The whole county road radio
program is in the thinking stage,
and will be considered more thor
oughly when budgets are made up
this summer.

Stote College Has
Insect Control Dufu

BOZEMAN-Th status Of the
more important insects in Montana
and control programs for combat
ting them are reviewed in the
thirty fifth report of the state en-
tomologist just published by the
Montana Agricultural Experiment
station under the title, Montana
Insect Pests, 1953-54."
The publication also contains the
biennial report of the state apiarist
and brief report on the goatweed
beetle program in western Mon
tana.
The report was prepared by
State Entomologist James H. Pep
per, G. r. Roemhild, assistant state
entomologist, and L. N. Graham,
assistant state apiarist, all Of the
Montana Agricultural Experiment
station.
In their introduction the auth
ors point out that there has been
a reversal in the general trend of
insect numbers in Montana in the
past two years as compared with
insect populations in 1851 and 1852.
Although no new insect pests have
been introduced into the state, it
appears that those already here are
increasing both in number and In
their range of distribution. But ev-
en- SO, the report points out, econo-
mic losses have been lessened as a
result Of improved and more eff
Gent methods of control.
Copies of the report may be OBJ
tanned from county extension
agents or by writing direct to the

pertinent station, Bozeman.
