He was an excellent salesman, suc-ceeding through sheer charm " of manner and enthusiasm, but had been out of work since the Novem-ber before. He was thoughtful and kind to his friends, and when Hugh had been laid up with influenza the winter before, had sat up with him all one night Joan was small, with an olive complexion, straight black hair which she dressed severely, and great smoky gray eyes with thick black lashes. "Hurry up," she called as Hugh and Dorrie came down the walk, "we're simply bursting to tell you the news!" "What news?" asked Hugh. "Did the old man come through?" "Right the first time!" "Congratulations!" cried Hugh, climbing into the car. "Wonder-ful," said Dorrie. "He has a job with the Crescent people and starts work the first of the month!" "You see how glad she is to be rid of me!" complained Cun. "Sick of having me underfoot around the house!" "You weren't at home much! You went down town every day," flashed Joan. "Will you have to travel, Cun?" asked Dorrie. "More or less several days a week. And they came to my fig-ure! which is important." "We'll look after Jonny for you when you're away take her around. Eh, Dorrie?" "Of course." Joan's elation gave a lilt to her quiet voice. "It's the most glori-ous feeling! Almost worth the ag-ony of suspense for eight months to experience it Although I must say Cun was marvelous about it al-ways cheerful." "Always marvelous!" said Cun. "I was the one who was afraid-afr- aid of his " Cun, as he drove, looked back over his shoulder. "Go ahead and spill it What were you afraid of? My sinking into bad habits?" "Oh. keep quiet" "I'm fond of your mother. She I has an extraordinary effect on me. Makes me feel good inside and out J like a steam bath and a sooth-ing oil rub by a Swedish masseur." "Gosh, Dorrie!" "Margery, since she has those children, doesn't talk my language. I can't get passionate over croup and adenoids and spinach, can I? But Kezia has a streak of wicked-ness I understand. Fun U watch her maneuver her own purposes." "So then ?" "I'm going to throw a big din-ner, have them all this Friday night Suit you?" Hugh hesitated. "You'd like it wouldn't you?" she challenged. "I'd like having them here of course, but I wish it were because you wanted them. Not a con-cession to my feelings." Dorrie turned her head to one side and looked at the willow tree. After a moment she said with slow sulkiness: "You'd better take it the way I do it" He watched her with puzzled pain, watched hep until he saw the coldness meU from her face, and another emotion come over it She said in a faint voice, "You're worth a dozen of me, Hugh." He was relieved. "What's brought this on?" he inquired laughing. She shook her head. "Call it a mood." "Forget it Dorrie. You can be pretty sweet yourself!" He felt suddenly happy. She was chary with admissions of feeling. He never knew exactly how deep her feeling for him was. The occa-sional glimpses into her mind, when she grew introspective as to-night were rare and accordingly precious. The western light had entirely faded. The dusk ringed her around with magic. Her pale green dress shimmered like moon-light A night-haw- k wheeled rest-lessly overhead, uttering a rauc-ous cry. Hugh, whose passionate feeling for her had never dimmed, felt her enchantment heighten, sur-round him with a mystical content- - Then she broke a piece of toast crumbled it thoughtfully. "I sup-pose I might have come down." Her mother smiled as she saw victory in sight Kezia was ashamed of her action, but had had 'to defend it "She has a tough time at home. No wonder she comes here so much. Cousin Gavin is too nerv-ous to allow the radio to be played when he's in the house, and her mother, pretentious and calculat-ing, nagging the life out of her what a mother1" shuddered Kezia. "I have no reason to be envious of Ellen. If a man goes romantic over her they think of Lizzie for a mother-in-la- then it's good-b- y Ellen!" She sat there, her eyes dreamy and suddenly misted. "I'm so mean," she faltered, "and you're so good to me! Oh, Mother, how do you put up with me?" Fluvanna was moved, as she al-ways was when Kezia was peni-e- nt and misty-eye- even though she knew it did not hinder her from doing the same thing over again directly. The girl rose in a sudden whirlwind and came around to her chair, laid her cheek against hers. "I know I'm hor-rid!" Charming, emotional and impul-sive like Jim. Her heart plunged jvith misgiving for Kezia, a vague jnxiety. She caressed her auto-matically. Kezia went back to her chair. "Be nice to her when she comes again or, better still, telephone ,ier."

They found a table near an open window at the Freeland Farms, an old country mansion which had been turned into a road house. ment and yearning. His eyes held hers. "You're lovely," he said on a breath. "Thank you," she murmured, smiling. The telephone tinkled inside the house. "I'll go," said Dorrie sliding off the chaise longue. She never walked briskly but when she came back she moved with more animation than was her wont "It's the Whitneys," she an-nounced. "They want us to go out to Freeland Farms and dance." Hugh gave a regretful look at the yard, bowcred in bush and The space for dancing was limit-ed, and waiters zigzagged and re-treated with their laden trays, to avoid the swaying couples. It was not so hot as Hugh had expected; a breeze came in from the west; the room had good ventilation, ex-tending up two stories with win-dows near the roof. Hugh saw Ellen Pendleton across the room seated at a table with Jerry Purdue. The drama of their preoccupation with each other drifted through the noise and cig-arette smoke. Ellen's face was flushed, her eyes were luminous as she toyed with her food and list-ened to Jerry propound some the-ory. Isolation enfolded them in the midst of the crowd. He touched Dorrie's arm. "See Ellen with young Purdue?" She smiled and nodded. "He looks the sort she'd fall for, lean and dark with a way!" She ex-plained to the others, "Hugh's fa-vorite cousin with her young man." "A cousin?" said' Cun. "Alibi?" Joan fanned herself with the menu. "Don't you know Hugh's related to all the Pendletons? That's Gavin's daughter, Ellen." "I vow the whole town's a cousin to Hugh," said Dorrie languidly. ."Hard to have any personal con-versation. I never dare express an opinion of anyone I meet for fear of insulting a connection. El-len is third or fourth in degree what is it, Hugh?" "About that. Great-grandfathe-were brothers." "Still they call it cousin! She studied art for a couple of years. Paints very well they say." "Art?" said Cun. "I see. Cuckoo but beautiful." Dorrie moved in her chair slight-ly. "Dance?" asked Cun, his eyes on Dorrie. They went off together. Hugh stood up. "Joan?" As they swung into step he said, "Well, Jonny, the troubles are all over. I'm ever so glad that Cun has work. You've been a brick, but I could see it was hard on you. Joan gave a smothered exclama-tion and did not reply. He looked down. Joan's eyes were filled with tears. "What did I say? . . . Hurt you? . . . Awfully sorry." He was dismayed. "Come on; we'll go outside." He led her through the screened door to the long veranda. They sat in a swing. "Overlook it, Hugh. Nerves, I think." She dabbed her eyes with his handker-chief. "And relief from the strain. A man has to work to fill up his time . . . Cun has to be busy more than most men he's built that way. Then you spoke to me so sweetly and sympathetically and I went to pieces." Hugh sat beside her feeling touched and bewildered. It was plain she had some worry on her mind about Cun. (TO BE COXTIMED) you anything?" "Not for the public yet So keep it secret" "No?" KezJa's brows went up. "Well, is that a headline! Ellen put it overl Cheers for Ellen!" Kezia rose from the table. "I'll breeze around there after I get through playing tennis and ask her to bring him over some night soon." She dropped a kiss on her mother's hair. "I'll tell her that while I'm immured in the halls of learning, she grabs off the best-looki-man in town!" CHAPTER II The backyard lawn of the Hugh Marshes was veiled in the translu-cent light which comes just before darkness. The west was a faint saffron streaked with mauve; birds talked in sleepy twitterings; a wood dove cooed in a willow. Dorrie reclined on a wicker chaise longue and Hugh sat near her smoking a pipe. Hugh's eyes were on the arabesque pattern of the trumpet vine. Dorrie allowed the evening pa-per to drift to the ground. "Hugh, I'm constitutionally lazy." "M-mm- ." "Aren't you Interested? Did you hear what I said?" "That you are lazy? Yes, I heard. I don't know what we can do about it." She shrugged and a curling smile that he never liked to see crept around her mouth. "It means nothing that you have a lazy wife?" "You make pretty things for the house curtains, cushions. Your clothes you spend a lot of time sewing." "But that's what I like to do! I mean I'm lazy because I don't do the things I ought to but don't want to! You see there's a distinc-tion." "I'm not complaining.

The expression of her face was veiled, but he felt a vitality flow from her, a cur-rent of something indefinable. "Do you want to go?" "That's for you to decide," she answered almost coldly. He took her attitude for re-proach. He stretched his arms lazily. "Tell them, we'll go. Com-ing for us?" "Yes. Can you be ready in ten minutes?" He nodded. "But we won't stay late, remember! I have a job to hold down if Cun hasn't " She started for the house, then turned her head with her secret smile. "You always say that 'we won't stay late, remember'!" 'But we always do!"

STAR 1 i DUST Movie Radio J By VIRGINIA VALE THE life of a motion star leaves a good deal to be desired, no matter how much money or fame or fun he has. There's the little matter of the effect of the studio lights on the players' eyes, for ex-ample. You don't hear so much about "Klieg eyes" now as you used to, but the danger is there just the same. William Powell has had really se-rlo-trouble with his eyes of late, and Eric Blore is so careful of his that he will work only a certain number of hours a day about four or five. Can't afford to take risks, you know. Blore Is a delightful per-son. Has an English accent off the screen as well as on. Goes visiting on other sets in his favorite cos-tume, a resplendent lounging robe and dark glasses. When motion picture actresses come to New York for the first time they usually state hjjininn-ii- ir'imir 1 for publication that I they Just couldn't jj wait to see the sights the places 1 like Central park 1 and the aquarium, that all tourists want I to see. But in Anne I Shirley's case that I was what she did I really want to do Anne Shirley York, she was taken west when she was five, and when she took her first eastern trip not long ago she made a bee line for Central park. She drove around it in the morn-ing, dashed off for lunch, and re-turned to walk around it in the aft-ernoon. "Dodsworth" is a grand picture, one of those perfectly finished pic-tures that Gohlwyn so often gives ns. In the making they seem to have done something to Mary As tor's voice; it is a velvety contralto. Walter Huston gives a superb per formance, of course, in spite of the fact that he played the role so often on the stage that he might be ex-cused for being awfull tired of it. On the RKO sets they call Helen Broderick and Ann Sothern "The Rocking Chair Twins," because the girls insist on having rocking chairs to rest in between shots, instead of those canvas-seate- d arm chairs with their names on the backs. And there the girls sit and rock and rock, for all the world like old ladies on country hotel porches. . Lily Pons will try anything. She is working hard on "Street Girl" at present; remember when it was made as a silent picture with Betty Compson? (Incidentally, the title is going to be changed.) But she is al-so getting ready for appearances with the Metropolitan Opera com-pany in New York, so she is learn-ing to dance. She will sing in "Coq d'Or," and will also dance. Heretofore when this opera was given, the singers sat on the sides of the stage and mere-ly sang, and the action was taken care of by trained dancers. Lily's role was danced by the premiere ballerina, the last time the opera was performed. Jeanette MacDonald seems to like long engagements. She was engaged to Bob Ritchie for years and years, but nothing came of It perhaps be-cause Gene Raymond came along. Now he and she are engaged, but say that they won't be married un-til June. John Boles has a new movie con-tract, which he wouldn't sign unless it stipulated that he wouidn t nave xo sing!
