He evidently noticed the change in her, for they were hardly settled in his car before he again sought her hand and held it.

Jerry, unmindful of the people about them, reached across the table ta-ble and placed his hand over hers. "Darling, why not go down to Palm Beach with me tomorrow? My yacht's down there, you know, and ..." Mary glanced sharply across at him. "Tomorrow? But, Jerry, how in the world could we get married in such a short time?" The man hastily relinquished her hand, and leaned back in his chair. The warm glow that had filled his narrow gray eyes disappeared. "My dear," he purred, "you seem to have misunderstood me." Mary stared at him with in credulous eyes. "You weren't ask ing me to marry you?" Jerome Taylor laughed. "What a provincial little thing you are! Why, everybody knows Tm not the marrying mar-rying sort. But, my dear, there are so many things I can do for you ..." Mary felt for the cape which lay across the back of her chair, and with trembling fingers, pulled it over her shoulders. "You conceited conceit-ed old fool! I hate you! I've always hated you! I never want to see you again!" And grabbing her gloves and bag from the table, she rose from her chair. As unperturbed as if she had told him she'd just remembered a telephone tele-phone call she had to make, Taylor rose too, his sleek gray bead inclining in-clining in a suave little bow. "Don't make a scene, my dear," he said in a low voice, his lips fixed in a smile. "Remember, we're in a public pub-lic place. Besides, you're not exactly ex-actly suited to melodrama, you know." Mary flashed him an enraged look; then, with steps which she tried desperately to keep steady, made her way blindly through the tables, and out of the room to the lobby. Eventually, she reached the door, and, in a voice that was still throaty with anger, asked the doorman to call for a taxi. She wondered if she had enough money in her bag "My dear, you're more beautiful beauti-ful tonight than I've ever seen you!" to pay for the cab, but she was so dizzy with anger, she could not even bring herself to look. She was whirling up the Avenue away from Jerome Taylor closer, closer to Aunt Linnie's apartment and the safety and security which it betokened. Now, the cab was pulling up before Aunt Linnie's apartment house. Mary glanced at the meter; then emptied her purse into the driver's hand. She stepped to the curb, and ran across the canopied walk to the entrance en-trance door. Her head was down, and In her eagerness to get into the foyer, she did not see the man who was leaving it He caught her arm in an attempt to prevent a collision; col-lision; then, as they both came to an abrupt standstill, she looked up. "Why. Umberto!" she exclaimed. "I didn't see you!" . "That is quite evident, little Mary!" he replied with a smile."! had just dropped in to call on you, and but now was leaving with a heavy heart." "Mush! Mush! Mush!" thought Mary. "Why can't other men talk as sanely as Phillip Buchanan?" "You are back early, my beautiful!" beauti-ful!" Balianci continued, his hand still on her arm. "Is something wrong?" "No, Umberto, I wanted to-come to-come home." "But then, I may go up with you, and stay a while?" Mary frowned. "No, Umberto. No, no, no." Then, seeing the shadow that crossed bis handsome dark face she said, "Oh. all right! Come lave Buc saiu, vu, on for a few moments. We'll listen to the radio." Addie opened the door in answer to Mary's ring. "Why. Miss M r --wssv- - a mSMM o ry!" she exclaimed. "I just told this gentleman you were out for the evening!" I changed my plana, Addie," Mary returned and, slipping Lelia's wrap from her shoulders, handed It to the woman. "Addie, I wonder if you'll make us some black coffee. I have a headache." "Yes, ma'am, honey!" Addie re plied. "I'll have some for you in Just a few minutes." Then, as Addie disappeared into the kitchen, Balianci came towards her. "Darling." he murmured in the honeyed tones that Mary loathed, "something has gone wrong with you! Something has hurt you! I can see it written on your lovly face. Tell Umberto. my sweet," Mary glanced up into his somber eyes eyes that were filled with compassion and pity. "It's nothing." noth-ing." she began in a voice that was husky with emotion. The ugly shock of Jerome Taylor's words had left her at last, but in its place there burned a blind rage against the man, and a fear for all things to come. "It's nothing," she repeated. And then, bursting into wild, uncontrollable un-controllable sobs, she cried. "Oh. Umberto, it's everything! It's everything! every-thing! Yes, something has hurt me terribly 1" And, quite without knowing how it happened, she found herself in his arms, his lips softly pressing her cheek, her head against his shoulder. shoul-der. "Darling! Darling!" he was saying say-ing softly. "Cara mia, I love you!" And, for the moment, she felt safe, supremely secure in his arms. "Tell Umberto all about it, my sweet," She shook her head. "No! No! No! I can never tell anyone!" Taking a handkerchief from his pocket, he dried the tears on her face. "You've been crushed by something, my darling, and I could kill the beast who hurt you. Oh, Mary, my dear, I love you! I want to take care of you. I want you to be mine always, so that no one can ever hurt you again. Darling, will you marry me?" "Oh, no, Umberto, I can't marry you! I don't want to marry anybody!" any-body!" And then, with a badgering persistence, the thought, "But, I must marry somebody. I must do something!" again flooded her mind. !'Ah, darling," Umberto replied, touching his lips lightly to her eyes, "you say that tonight because you are upset by this dreadful some thing; but tomorrow, tomorrow, it will be different! Ah, feratasa, say you will consider it! Say I may leave you tonight with my heart warmed with the hope you will marry me soon." Mary withdrew from his embrace, moving towards the fireplace, her cold hand against her throbbing forehead. "I don't know, Umberto. Umber-to. Let's not talk about it tonight Maybe ..." Balianci followed her. "Maybe?" he repeated softly. '"Maybe! Oh, cara mia, that means you will make me the happiest man on earth!" He attempted to take her in his arms again, but she pulled away, grateful to hear Addie approaching from the kitchen. She had hardly finished pouring the coffee when a key could be heard turning in the latch of the entrance en-trance door. An instant later, Le-lia Le-lia Ormsby came into the room. Her eyes widened when she saw Mary sitting there with Count Balianci. "Why, Mary! " she began. "What are you doing at home? I thought" Umberto jumped to his feet "Mrs. Ormsby," he exclaimed, his dark eyes flashing, "congratulate me! I am the happiest man on earth! My lovely lady has promised to marry me!" A look of cdhsternation flashed across Lelia's face. "Why, what do you mean?" "But just that!" Balianci re Elephants' Memories Tails, According Experts at the zoological park in Brookfield are busy disputing time-honored time-honored fables about animals.

"Maybe I shalL" Lelia continued to regard the girl with eyes that were cold with unbelief. un-belief. "Well," she said at last, and her voice was crisp, "I wish you both happiness.

"I shall buy champagne, and everybody will drink a toast to my bride-to-be!" Mary finally glanced up at Lelia. "You you will come, Lelia?" A pregnant silence followed a silence si-lence in which Lelia snapped open a cigarette box that lay on the table beside the lounge, removed a ciga rette and lighted It "Yes," she finally said, "I'll go along." CHAPTER XI Aunt Linnie arrived on the scene a few minutes later. "Don't say anything!" Mary admonished Balianci Bali-anci and Lelia. "Please. Please!" And her voice was so importunate that they both nodded their acquiescence. acqui-escence. If Aunt Linnie felt any surprise at seeing Mary sitting In the living room with Balianci when she had supposed her to be at the theater with Jerome Taylor, her face did not betray her. "How nice to find you and Balianci here," she exclaimed, "Lelia and I are going to the Club Torquay to meet the Bascoms and play a bit of roulette. Will you join us?" "Thanks so much," Balianci re plied. "We'd love it" "I'll change in a jiffy," Lelia was saying, as if from a great distance "Will you excuse me for five min utes?"

Probably you've listened to his "Gateway "Gate-way to Hollywood" on the air, and perhaps you heard the final result of that search for movie talent the selection of Rowena Cook and Ralph Bowman as the two fortunate young people whose names will be changed to 'Alice Eden" and "John Archer," with the leading roles in the picture, "Career," as their first screen appearances ap-pearances under these names. Six other contestants were given contracts, and the search for new faces for the screen will probably be taken up again by some of the big producing companies. About every so often this search seems like a good idea to the movie-mak ers; usually it Is practiced tor a while, with plenty of ballyhoo and results that are anything but spectacular, spec-tacular, and very litUe in the way of real talent is brought into the studios. Carrying It on with the aid of radio, as Mr. Lasky has Hone, may be the solution. Certainly there are plenty of potential movie stars in our midst, and all they need Is a chance to make good.
