In leaving, her Aunt Linnie Lin-nie urges Mary to visit her in New York, uui mary retuses. Mary works In a rental library, where she unend her spare time writing short stories. Mary's lamer is let out as railroad attorney, the fees cf which were almost the sole support sup-port of his family. To earn money, she decides to begin writing in earnest. Mary feels sure that her newest story. "At Sea," would please the editors of Na-tional Na-tional Weekly. After finishing it she calls Doctor Cragg. who comes to the book store for a current novel. Falling from ladder while getting his book, she re gains consciousness to find his arms around her. He tells her he loves her, and then tells her he Is to be married the coming month to a girl he has known all his life. Despondent, Mary decides de-cides to accept her Aunt Linnie's invitation. invi-tation. In New York her aunt laughs at her for her plans to write, and Insists that she meet as many eligible men as possible. The new week brings two letters. One. from the NaUonal Weekly. with a $100 check for her storv. makes her deliriously happy. The other, from ner sister, tells her that financial conditions condi-tions at home are getting worse. The next day, at a party given by her aunt, Mary meets distinguished Jerome Taylor, Tay-lor, wealthy middle aged man-about-town, and effusive Count Umberto Bali-anci. Bali-anci. The count's oily manner nauseates her. A note from her father the follow ing day pleads with her not to mention the famUy's financial plight to her aunt. After reading it she forces herself to begin be-gin work on her next short story, which Is more difficult to write than the first. She labors on until her aunt informs her that Count Umberto, whom Lelia terms a sponger and fortune hunter, is to take them to dinner that evening. He takes mem to a gansn restaurant In Greenwich Green-wich Village. That evening Mary sends her story, "Their Son," to the National Weekly. She goes to see Phillip Buchanan, Bu-chanan, editor of the National Weekly, to whom she has given her last story. He Invites her to lunch. He congratulates her for the simple treatment given the first story, and says that her last offering will receive immediate attention. At lunch she is introduced to attractive Jim Ormsby, Leila's former husband, Mary tells Lelia that she has met Jim and knows from Lelia's actions that she still loves him. A letter from home tells Mary that Christopher Cragg has finally married. Dazed by .the news. Mary spends a miserable evening with her aunt at Jerry Taylor penthouse. CHAPTER VIII Mary had taken out her type writer several times during that first week after the arrival of Ellen's let ter telling of Chris' marriage. She had tried to write, but her mind would give forth nothing, and, at long last, she had decided not to attempt any work for another solid week. She would accept every invitation in-vitation showered upon her by Count Balianci and Jerome Taylor; try to divert her thoughts from Chris by taking an interest in the amusements amuse-ments offered by these two men who appeared to be vying with each other for her company. Eventually, perhaps, she would be refreshed by their diversions, and able to return to business. In consequence of which, she spent every evening with either Balianci or Taylor; even went, accompanied by Aunt Linnie, to Journey's End, Taylor's estate in Westchester, for a week-end. There she danced with Jerome, she walked with him, she played a little atrocious Bridge as his partner. Her mind, however, was back in Hawkinsville, and she would never have dreamed of what was transpiring, tran-spiring, had not Aunt Linnie remarked re-marked nearly a dozen times a day: "My dear, the man's simply mad about you, and I swear it's the first time anybody's ever known him to be seriously in love with anybody Marry him, my dear, if he asks you, and he most certainly will. Just think, darling, what he can do for you!" Mary would reply, "Yes, Aunt Linnie, but Jerome's old enough to be my father. I really couldn't marry him." To which Aunt Linnie would re ply, "Oh, nonsense! What if he is old enough to be your father? He's stunning-looking, and he's charming and he's rich as Croesus. All this talk about young love is poppy-cock. Any love wears off after the first few years. And then what have you besides worry over the grocery bilL and how you'll manage to pay the dentist for straightening the children's chil-dren's teeth?" Linnie's and Lelia's plans for a West Indies cruise were now completed. com-pleted. They were sailing on the Itasca the fifteenth of March, and expected to be gone at least six weeks. Linnie extended to Mary a most cordial invitation to accompany accompa-ny them, but Mary finally managed to convince her aunt of the sincerity of her desire to write. "I can never thank you enough, Aunt Linnie," she said in conclusion, "but I am going to make writing my business, and it won't ever amount to much of a success if I go gallivanting off on glorious pleasure trips." Then," Linnie said firmly, "the thing for you to do, since you're hell-bent on belonging to the intelligentsia, intel-ligentsia, is to remain right here in New York and work. You can't accomplish anything by returning to Hawkinsville, and you might as well just stay in this apartment Addie will be running it just Ce same." PUBLICATIONS WNU SERVICE Mary rushed to her aunt and threw grateful arms about her shoulders. "Oh, Aunt Linnie, how wonderful! I'd love to stay here. Thank you so much. Why, In the time you're away, I can write at least six shorts!" It was the morning of the second day in March that Addie called Mary to the telephone. "It's Miss Hickenlooper," the Mulatto said in a stentorian whisper, "or, anyhow, that's all I could make out of the name." "Perhaps she's calling up about Their Son,' " she thought, rushing to the telephone. "Or do editors have their receptionists attend to things of that sort?" But Miss Hickenlooper's business did not concern the manuscript. Instead, In-stead, she informed Mary that she was calling for Mr. Buchanan. He had asked a number of people to his apartment for cocktails at five that afternoon. Could Mary come? Mary accepted with the only bit of enthusiasm she had experienced for anything in days. "Thank you. Miss Hickenlooper," she replied. "I'll be there." Mr. Buchanan's apartment the second floor of a house which had once been someone's very smart town home was located in the East Fifties. Mary climbed one flight of the graceful, old mahogany staircase, stair-case, and stopped timidly before a tall, paneled door through which could be heard the buzz of conversation. conver-sation. No bell was to be seen, but a knocker of dull brass occupied Eventually, Mr. Buchanan found time to come and sit on the arm of her chair, a spot in the middle of the center panel, and with a gloved hand that trembled in spite of the self-control she was trying hard to exert, Mary lifted the metal hammer and knocked. This process had to be repeated three or four times before it elicited any response, but eventually a husky male, with a large pugnacious pugna-cious face, turned the knob and asked Mary to come in.' He wore dark trousers and a white duck coat, and Mary assumed that he was Mr. Buchanan's servant. He looked far more like a pugilist than a butler-valet, butler-valet, and she learned later that day that "Spike" actually had been more or less actively engaged in fisticuffs until a night several years previous, when Phillip Buchanan had literally dragged him out of the gutter, and installed him in his modest mod-est bachelor abode. Phil Buchanan, surrounded by guests, and in the act of mixing a highball at a wheel-in bar, looked up, a bit startled, and beheld Mary standing in the doorway "All right, Spike," he replied with something akin to a sigh of resignation, and came swiftly forward. "I'm so glad you came. Miss Lorlng. Lor-lng. Do forgive Spike's manner of announcing you. He simply can't see any sense in the more esthetic points of the social amenities and maybe the guy's right You see, everybody else has been here before, be-fore, and just barged In." "I rather liked it." Mary admitted, admit-ted, smiling up into Phil Buchanan's amused, gray eyes "It made me feel at home. If anybody in Hawkinsville Haw-kinsville had a man-servant I'm sure he'd be just as informal as Spike." Slowly, he took her about the big comfortable room, introducing her to one group after another, enunciating enunci-ating her name clearly, speaking it in full. "This is Mary Loring," he said, and Mary warmed to the gracious gra-cious kindness in his voice. "Her first story. 'At Sea,' will appear in The National Weekly the fifteenth of next month. Miss Lcring. may I present . . ." And, in turn, he mentioned men-tioned the name and connection of each person there. "He's press-agenting me," Mary told herself. "Bless Sus heart he's rather " o Eventually, the Introductions were over, and he placed her in a low chair before the fire of channel coal that crackled in the hearth, asked Mrs. Van Winkle, who appeared to be acting as hostess, to fetch her a cup of tea; then left her to the mercies of two Intense young men, who, after greeting her effusively enough, returned wholeheartedly to a discussion of the relative merits of two recently published historical novels. A black Great Dane of rather startling proportions evidently the dog that Spike was known to walk-either walk-either blinked sleepily before the fire, or else made himself a nuisance by begging first one guest and then another for food. He was a beautiful, beauti-ful, lumbering animal, slightly gray around the snoot and knotty at the knees, and his name was Oscar. Conversation buzzed and crackled about the room. Over by the east window, three men and a dowdily-dressed dowdily-dressed young woman were shrilly discussing the colossal sale of a new best-seller. Eventually, Mr. Buchanan found time to come and sit on the arm of her chair. "I've been meaning to drop you a note," he said, balancing, balanc-ing, rather dangerously, a highball and a cigarette in the same hand. "We'd like a picture of you for our edition of Friday the eighth, and a short biographical sketch. Sort of Introductory affair to the appearance appear-ance of 'At Sea' a week later. Can you manage it?" "Heavens, I don't know! I haven't had my picture taken since I was ten!" "Um well, that would scarcely do. We're exploiting you as somewhat some-what of a prodigy, but I hardly think we can make our readers believe you're as young as all that! I'll tell you what Miss Hickenlooper will make an appointment for you with a photographer some time this week, and he can take a few shots at you." "If you want me to, certainly." Then, glancing at her watch, "It's later than I thought it was. I must be going." "Dinner engagement?" . "Well yes." "I'm sorry. A bunch of us'll prob ably drift into Tony's, later on tonight to-night and Pd rather, hoped you'd go with us." "I wish I could," Mary replied, thinking how much more stimulat ing an evening with these hectic, in teresting people would be than the one she had in store. Jerome Tay lor was calling for her at seven. The dinner would be delectable. They would have the very choicest seats at the theater, and later go on to a club for supper. Everything would be perfect but suddenly she wished, with all her fervor, that she might just stay on here with Phillip Buchanan and his friends. CHAPTER IX Spurred on with a new enthusiasm enthusi-asm for writing because of having met, although rather casually and at no great length, a few arrived authors, au-thors, Mary again set to work the next day. She entitled her new story "Concerning Anne," and, with a feverish zeal but not much conviction, convic-tion, devoted the entire day to working work-ing on it Aunt Linnie and Lelia were occupied with some last-minute shopping for their cruise, and the apartment was blessedly quiet Miss Hickenlooper, sounding slightly more cordial than she had that day at the office, telephoned Mary around three o'clock, and informed in-formed her that she had made an appointment for her for some sittings sit-tings at the photographer's at four the following day. And would she mind dropping in the office before going to have her picture taken? Mr. Buchanan wished to talk to her. Psychologist Cites Five Love for Music, Enjoyed by Most People Love for music can be explained by the psychologist Dr. Carl E. Seashore of the University of Iowa, who as psychologist has for years been studying and predicting musical musi-cal ability and appreciation,- scouts the idea that love for music is an inexplicable emotion. Love of music mu-sic can be accounted for on five grounds, he writes, in the Music Educators Ed-ucators Journal. The first reason Is physiological We have an organism that registers regis-ters music and responds to it somewhat some-what like a resonator. Not only the central nervous system is affected, but the peripheral nervous system, all the muscles, all the internal cr-gans, cr-gans, and especially the autonomic system with its endocrines which furnishes a physical basis for emotion. emo-tion. The whole body is put into a glow of well-being by the pleasure of hearing musical sounds. A single sound may be beautiful in itself, like a flower or a human face, Doctor Seashore emphasizes. The untutored mind and the musically musi-cally trained can alike delight in their charm quite apart from their utility in building up musical form. Mary acceded happily to both requests, re-quests, saying to herself, "Mr. Buchanan's Bu-chanan's probably made his decision deci-sion on my story, and I believe, I really believe, it's favorable. Otherwise, Other-wise, he would merely have returned re-turned the manuscript with a polite po-lite note of refusal" The following day, she refused luncheon Invitations both from Jerome Je-rome Taylor and Count Balianci "Concerning Anne" must be retyped, re-typed, and whipped Into shape In order to present it to Mr. Buchanan that afternoon. Her heart was light while she made her plans. One story was finished, and another was about to be accepted. She was, she felt going places and, for the time being, although she did not quite realize It, she had completely forgotten for-gotten Christopher Cragg. At least, the hurt of his marrying lis a Grace-land Grace-land was not bedeviling her every conscious thought She arrived at The National Weekly Week-ly quarters at exactly three o'clock, a large envelope containing her new manuscript under her arm. There were three people seated In the waiting room, but much to her amazement Miss Hickenlooper escorted es-corted her Immediately, and with somewhat of a flourish, to Mr. Buchanan's Bu-chanan's office. He was seated at his desk, gaz ing angrily at a typed letter in his hand. The afternoon sun filtered through the Venetian blind of the window behind him, and settled on that strangely sunburned hair of his, making him look, Mary thought like a little boy who has spent too many hours on the beach. Buchanan rose hastily from his swivel chair. "Oh, Miss Loring! How are you? Won't you sit down?" Mary seated herself on the edge of the chair that faced his desk. "I'm very well, thank you. And I've really been working since I saw you the other day. Meeting all those interesting people at your apartment apart-ment stimulated me immensely, and I got busy at once on a new short" "Um! That's fine. Have you fin ished it?" Mary placed the brown envelope on the desk before him. "Here it is. I thought I might as well bring it with me since I was dropping in this afternoon anyhow. Miss Hickenlooper Hick-enlooper said you wanted to see me." Phil Buchanan extracted a crushed package of cigarettes from the pocket of his tweed coat; extended ex-tended it rather vaguely towards Mary who nodded a refusal; helped himself, and lighted a match. "Yes, I wanted to talk to you about Their Son" Mary's heart turned a somersault "Oh, so you've read it?" "Yes, after Mr. Van Winkle turned it over to me with a recommendation recom-mendation for thumbs down." "For what?" Thumbs down. He didn't like it, Miss Loring. He said well, to speak quite frankly, he said it was trite." Mary felt the hot blood rushing to her face. "But I decided to read it anyhow," any-how," Buchanan went on, "and I'm afraid I have to agree with him. It doesn't come up to the standard you set for yourself when you wrote 'At Sea.' The well the snap's Just not there. The plot's weak. The story lacks conviction." Mary felt as if she bad been slapped In the face. The man's words seemed so brutal, and his rejection re-jection of "Their Son" was such a shock. She had definitely counted on receiving a check for it this afternoon. after-noon. A foolish lump filled her throat, and to her dismay she felt hot tears welling Into her eyes and sliding treacherously from beneath her lashes. She could not trust herself her-self even to look across at the man on the other side of the desk. (TO BE COISTISUED) Grounds for Delight In "harmonic structure, the melodic progressions, the rhythmic patterns, the qualitative modula tions, In the flow of beautiful sounds" is another reason for love of music. Music carries us through the realms of creative Imagination. We love music also because it is the language of social bonds. Musio is a message and can move the social so-cial group into concerted action and into a feeling of common fellowship. fellow-ship. Finally we love music because be-cause it is a means of self-expression. It furnishes us .with the joy of putting into a fitting medium our love, our fears, our sympathy, our feelings of fellowship, our communion com-munion with the Divine. On these five fundamental grounds, says Doctor Seashore, rests the psychologist's adequate explanation ex-planation why we love music.

A lot of people who liked "Three Smart Girls" were pretty sure that they wouldn't like this sequel; sequels have a way of being disappointing, especially in the movies. Then along came Universal with the announcement that In this one their money-making little star turned glamorous. That made ev erything much worse. If Deanna was going in for slinky gowns and false eyelashes even the critics who had always liked her were going to use barbed adjectives, and urge their readers to stay far, far away 3 .1 DEANNA DURBIN from theaters where those three par-ticular par-ticular smart girls grew up. But along came the picture, and there has been dancing in the streets. The picture is swell, and Deanna isn't "glamorous," she's just herself. It's a picture that ev erybody ought to see. Our hero this time Is Leo McCarey, McCar-ey, director-producer, who also did a turn as writer for "Love Affair." The picture is one of the best that has come out of Hollywood in a long, long time. When you see it, you might pause and think of how very bad it might have been, were it not so expertly done. With a couple of not very good actors in the roles played by Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer, with a run-of-the-mill director, direc-tor, it could easily have been a B picture. Several bouquets should go to McCarey Mc-Carey for his work on the writing end also. His movie career began with writing, you know. Hal Roach suggested that he become an actor, and he replied that he'd rather become be-come writer. Within six months be was a studio executive; then he directed Laurel and Hardy and Charlie Chase comedies for five years, and in 1936 he directed "Eug-glea "Eug-glea of Red Gap" for Paramount and was all set for big things. "Love Affair" was developed out of an idea of his, with Miss Dunne and Boyer In mind for the picture. Don't miss it! If you liked "The Citadel" you'll be glad to know that "Vigil in the Night," by the same author, has been bought as a starring vehicle for Carole Lombard. A romantic drama, it tells of the love and sacrifices sac-rifices of a young woman who wants to save her sister, a student nurse, from the results of a moment of carelessness which leads to the death of a hospital patient Jack Berch, one of NBC's handsome hand-some young baritones, recently discovered dis-covered that clothes are more important im-portant than he thought With summer sum-mer just ahead, he bought a yachting yacht-ing outfit and liked it so much that he wore it right out of the tailor's and back to Radio City. He was on his way through the first-floor corridors to the elevators when an elderly lady stopped him. "Young man," said she, "I stopped to look at one of the murals here, and the touring group I was with has gone on. Flease continue my tour." Berch used to be a small town boy, and learned to be polite to elderly el-derly ladies. So, cursing his yachting yacht-ing cap, he escorted her to the front door, industriously describing the murals they passed on the way. There she discovered her group, and he fled to the studios, his cap in his hand. Paul Whiteman's replacing Burns and Allen on the air for the summer could be listed as 'Turn about is fair play."
