Two big can whirled by them, creating dust-clouds on the gravel road. Dusk was settling over the country-sida like a benediction. The air was fragrant with the fine, clean odor of pine. Barney wanted to help. He knew he must do something . . . anything to ahock her out of this emotional depression. He said gently, "Will you marry me, Kay?" The effect was startling. Her eyes widened and she turned in her seat. She cried, "Ohl Barney please don't" The car had stopped, and night enfolded them. "Why?" he asked. "You mustn't ..." He held one of her hands between both of his. "But you're wrong, honey, I must In fact . . ." and he tried to laugh, "In fact. I should have asked you long ago." She said, then, "I wish you had." He saw only the top of her head, heard only the ghost of her voice. "I'm married, Barney." He was shocked "You're what?" "I'm married." "But Kay . . ." For the first time he was beginning to understand that life was not always kindly. "I just don't get it." She shook her head helplessly. "Neither do I." She clung to him. "Please try to understand, Barney." He said, "I'll try, honey. But It doesn't make sense. ' It isn't you of me." His face was serious; older than she bad ever seen it Maturity seemed to have collided with him. "How long have you been married?" mar-ried?" "A few hours." "To whom?" She looked away. ','Kirk Reynolds." Rey-nolds." "Good Lordt You mean when I passed you this morning you were on your way to be married?" "Yes . . ." "Why didn't you teU me?" "I I didn't know. Then." His hand tightened on her arm. "This i all screwy, honey. What do you mean, you didn't know?" "I didn't It happened suddenly sudden-ly . . ." "But why? Surely, you're not in love with him." "You know I'm not." She tried to be brave. "Listen, Barney ... try to believe me . . ." "I'll try." "I had to marry him" "Had to!" "No! Don't misunderstand. Oh, please . . . It's something I can't explain. That's why I told you first that I love you. It sort of gave me courage to tell you the rest. I married mar-ried Kirk because I had to ... because be-cause there were reasons which I can't explain to you. Ever." He said, "Things like this can't happen, honey." "They have happened. And I need your help more than you can understand. under-stand. I need to know that you care for me, that you're going to keep on caring for me. And that you won't torture me with questions I can't answer." "Why can't you answer them?" j "Because I'm afraid." His .Jaw was set grimly. "Of what?" "That's what I can't explain. Don't you see that I'm telling the truth . . . that I didn't do this thing because I wanted to?" She was suddenly more womanly. "If there was any other reason, Barney, I wouldn't be leaving Beverly tonight, to-night, would I?" "I suppose not . . .'" His face flushed. "You're not going to live with him?" ,'Of course out" . ;..,. ..-.:. He laughed shortly. This wasn't the .-Barney- she had known, for a year and a half . . . and she knew that she' had' changed, too; ' Two' youngsters faced with ugly fact grappling With a problem which was too Wg for them. He said. "There was a reason of course." "Yes. And you'd know if I could only tell you that I couldn't do anything else." "Can't you trust me?" , "Yes ... But I still can't tell you." She felt his muscles grow taut. "I'm not a child, Kay." "That isn't it. It's sorricthins . Oh. Barney! I can't explain. I couldn't even tell my father. He asked every thing . you are asking ask-ing .. .' "What did he say?" "He was hurt . . but he understood. under-stood. He was shocked. But he was kindly and brave." "What do you mean, brave?" A faint pitiful little tmlle flick-ered flick-ered across her lips. "I gave him the Job of telling Mother. And Andy. That isn't going to be very pleasant." pleas-ant." Barney spoke slowly. "You don't love Kirk Reynolds, yet you married him today. You married him because you are afraid of something. You are running away from Beverly because you don't want to face gossip . . . which means that you know the marriage won't be kept secret. You couldn't tell your father the truth and you can't tell me. Have I got it right?" "Yes." "I think I'll have a chat with Kirk Reynolds." "No!" She was terrified. "Pleate promise me you won't do that" "Why not?" "It would only make matter worse." "What can I do, then?" "Just what Dad la doing. You can be my friend. You can, perhaps, try to make me think that you believe be-lieve whatever I have done is right "What's wrong. Son?" You can let me talk . . . and you can help -me to forget the whole thing." "But it you're married to him" "I'm not though. We simply went through a ceremony." "That sort of marriage can be annulled." "Dad said that But this marriage mar-riage can't be." "Why?" "Because the same thing that frightened me into marrying Kirk would prevent that" "Will you ever tell me the whole truth?" "I-I don't know." "In other words," he said seriously, serious-ly, "you're giving me a Job to do. Something pretty rotten has happened hap-pened to you. It has played hell with your nerves. I'm to snap you out of it if I can." "Yes . . ." "You'd like me to forget that this cuts pretty deep. You'd like me to be the clown again ... to kid along as I've always done ... to make rather an ass of myself. Right?" "You make it sound silly." "I don't mean to. I'm trying to make you see that I understand how you feel. And it would help if I could get you laughing again, wouldn't it?" She asked. "Could you?" - "I don't know. But I can try." "Then try . . . please." She caught one of his hands. "But oh! Barney, if you're being very, very funny some time and I suddenly start crying . . . jyou won't misunderstand?" mis-understand?" "No," he Baid. "I won't. Not even if I start crying, too." He started the car and moved on through the night They did not talk, but again she moved so close that her body touched his. There was something so reassuring in this brief contact something so fine in the stern expression of his boyish face. At home they crossed the veranda and entered the big living-room. Mrs, Hamilton greeted them, from the chair under the reading-lamp. ,'VJiice day?" ahe- inquired. Kay said, "Yes. ma'am." t "Upstairs, You." Barney was smiling gallantly. "And make it snappy." " Barney watted at the foot of the stairway until the girl's slender ankles an-kles had disappeared. Then he walked toward hia mother! chair. She rose to meet him. instinctively knowing that all was not as it should be. He put his hands on his mother's shoulders and looker! rlown into her eyes. "Tough sledding." Ii. said. "What's wrong. Son''" "Kay's in a jam. I'll tell you about it before - she eemfj diiwn." His voice broke slightly "I know you're going to help you and Margaret Mar-garet Be as gentle as you can." He turned abruptly and walked from the room. Ruth Hamilton looked after him, worry anj priae in her eyes. Something had happened. She knew that a boy had gopc to Reverly that morning, and that a man had returned. At the rearof the White Star Hotel lobby, Just opposite the dining-room dining-room and near the foot of tr.e stairs, was a door with a sign: MISS SONIA HENKEL BEAUTICIAN If youj were a gutit of the hotel, this sign would not surprise you, inasmuch as you would long since have found a card on your dresser divulging the lima information, with this added: that Miss Henkel was expert and experienced, that she cheerfully and efficiently dispensed dis-pensed shampoos, finger-waves, marcela and facials; that her prices were reasonable and her work swift. The resident of Beverly had not yet recovered from the shock of Miss Henkel, nor quite allayed their resentment This resentment had been, at first, a purely commercial thing emanating emanat-ing from the second-floor beauty-talon beauty-talon owned and operated by a maiden lady named Trelane. Ethel Trelane. Mist Trelane had a permanent-waving machine and other Impressive accessories and ever since the commencement of the era in which ladies ceased to keep secret their quest fotadditipnal pulchritude. pulchri-tude. Mist Trelane and her shop had been regarded a the ultimate of Beverly urbanity. But with the opening of Cathedral Garden and the audden and bewildering bewil-dering influx of tourist. Miss Sonia Henkel had come. Mr. Robbie Morse, proprietor of the hotel, was reputed to have made the entirely uncivic remark that. Ethel's handiwork handi-work might be good enough for these here local dames who never was accustomed to nothln' better, but female tourists bad got to have class. Shortly after being ushered into the world some twenty-five years since in Brooklyn, New York, Mist Henkel' very poor and rather honest hon-est parents had christened her Sadie. Sa-die. That name had irked the Juvenile Juve-nile Miss Henkel until the first year of high school whereupon she had abandoned high school and all that went with it including the name Sadie. Sadie Henkel left home without particular regrets on either side. The following day Mist Sonia Henkel Hen-kel applied for--and obtained a position po-sition as cash girl in a New York department store. Thereafter, her career was interesting, if not totally immaculate. She acquired gentleman gentle-man friends, the nickname of Babe, an intriguing dance technique and an intimacy with life which completed com-pleted her education in an exceed-ingly exceed-ingly practical .way. V Thereafter she had been many things to many persons. Cash girl, Seventh Avenue dress model, customers' cus-tomers' party girl, manicurist student stu-dent at a beauty school and finally a full-fledged and rather expert beautician. And in the course of her travels she acquired an interesting interest-ing sophistication, a certain exotic beauty, a husky voice and the protective pro-tective friendship of Kirk Reynolds. Kirk and Babe were excellent friends. As a matter of fact Babe Henkel was very deeply in love with Mr. Reynolds. She admired hi virtues and his vices; she adored him for what he was no matter what " She had come to Beverly to relieve his boredom; she did not permit soggy sentiment to intrude upon their friendship. This afternoon she had been busy, but the last customer had departed when the telephone rang. It was Kirk: his words close-clipped as usual, usu-al, his tone authoritative. "Busy?" "No." "Come up." Babe inspected herself in the mirror. mir-ror. She saw a woman slightly above medium height; well and firmly rounded. Her face was .oval and framed by sleek black hair brushed tightly against her head. Her eyebrows were commas, her mouth wide but well shaped: an interesting mouth with a frame of scarlet lips. She closed and locked the door, walked up to the second floor not unconscious of admiring masculine glances and knocked on the' door of Kirk's room. He passively accepted the kiss she bestowed upon him. He said, "Sit down, Babe." She settled her figure into a chair opposite, "What's on your mind, Kirk?" "Plenty. Can you take it?" Two tiny, vertical lines appeared briefly on her forehead. She said, "Let's have it." He said, Trn married. '" .

Another foreign actress, In grid Bergman, makes her bow to America Amer-ica soon. The picture, "Intermezzo," "Intermez-zo," is an American version of one she made In Sweden. She is returning return-ing to Sweden when it is completed. And, while we're on the subject of Sweden, Paul Muni' superb acting aided greatly in obtaining for Warner War-ner Brothers permission to screen the life of Alfred Bernard Nobel.
