One of them, Muriel Follette, knows Edith Towne intimately. She told us all about the wedding, and how people are blaming Edith for running away and are feeling terribly terri-bly sorry for Mr. Towne. Of course they didn't know that Baldy and I had ever laid eyes on either of them. But you should have seen Baldy's eyes, when Muriel said things about Edith. I was scared stiff for fear he'd say something. You know how his temper flares. "Well, Muriel said some catty things. That everybody is sure that Delafield Simms is in love with someone else, and that they are say-tag say-tag Edith might have known it if she hadn't always looked upon herself as the center of the universe.

That's the way I always see you when I shut my eyes." "You see me now with your eyes wide open " "Yes. Jane, I told Mother this afternoon that I wouldn't go to New York. So that's settled, without your saying anything." "How does she feel about it?" "Oh, she still thinks that I should go. But I'll stay here," he moved his head restlessly. "I want to be where you are, Jane. And now, my dear, we're going to talk things out You know that yesterday you made a sort of promise. That you'd pray for me to get back and that if I got back well, you'd give me a chance. Jane, I want your prayers, but not your promise." "Why not?" "I am not fit to think of any woman. wom-an. When I am well if I ever am Evans had carried Jane off to the library. you can do as you think best But you mustn't be bound." She sat silent looking into the fire. "You know that I'm right don't you, dear?" "Yes, I do, Evans. I thought of it too, last night And it seems like this to me. If we can just be friends without bothering with anything else it will be easier, won't it?" "I can't tell you how gladly I'd bother, as you call it But it wouldn't be fair. You are young, and you have a right to happiness. I'd be a shadow on your future " "Please don't He dropped on the rug at her feet "Well, we'll leave it at that. We're friends, forever," he reached up and took her hands in his, "forever?" "Always, Evans" "For better, for worse for richer, rich-er, for poorer?" "Of course " They stared into the fire, and then he said softly, "Well, that's enough for me, my dear, that's enough for me" and after a while he began to speak in broken sentences. sen-tences. " 'Ah, silver shrine, here will I take my rest . . . After so many hours of toil and quest . A famished pilgrim . . .' That's Keats, ray dear. Jane, do you know that you are food and drink?" "Am I?" unsteadily. "Yes, dear little thing, if I had you always by my fire I could fight the world." When Jane and Baldy reached lome that night Baldy stamped up and down the house, saying things about Muriel Follette. "A girl like that to criticise." She yawned. "I'm going to bed." The telephone rang, and Baldy was off like a shot Jane uncurled herself from her chair and lent a listening ear. It was a moment of exciting interest Edith Towne was at the other end of the wire! Jane knew it by Baldy's singing voice. He didn't talk like that to commonplace folk who called him up. She was devoured with curiosity. curi-osity. He came in, at last literally walking on air. And just as Jane had felt that his voice sang. j she felt now that his feet danced. "Janey, it was Edith Towne "What did she say?" "Just saw my advertisement Paper Pa-per delayed" "Where is she?" "Beyond Alexandria. But we're not to give it away." "Not even to Mr. Towne?" "No. She's asked me to bring her bag, and some other things." He threw himself into a chair opposite op-posite Jane, one leg over the arm of it. He was a careless and picturesque pictur-esque figure. Even Jane was aware of his youth and good looks. Edith had, as it seemed, asked him to have Towne send the ring back to Delafield to have her wedding wed-ding presents sent back, to have a bag packed with her belongings. She started up the stairs but before be-fore she had reached the landing he called after her. "Jane, what have you on hand for tomorrow?" She leaned over the rail and looked down at him. "Friday? Feed the chickens. Feed the cats. Help Sophy clean the silver. Drink tea at four with Mrs. Allison, and three other young things of eighty." "Well, look here. I don't want to face Towne. He'll say things about Edith and Insist on . her coming com-ing back she says he will, and that's why she won't call him up. And you've got more diplomacy than I have. You might make it all seem reasonable. Will you do it Jane?" "Do you mean that you want me to call on him at his office?" "Yes. Go in with me in the morning." "Baldy, are you shirking? Or do you really think me as wonderful as your words seem to imply?" "Oh, if you're going to put it like that." She smiled down at him. "Let's leave it then that I am wonderful. But suppose Mr. Towne doesn't fall for your plan? Perhaps he won't let her have the bag or a checkbook check-book or money or anything" Jane saw then a sudden and passionate pas-sionate change in her brother. "If he doesn't let her have it, I will. I may be poor but I'll beg or borrow rather than have her brought back to face those cats until she wants to come." CHAPTER V Frederick Towne never arrived in his office until ten o'clock. So Jane was ahead of him. She sat in a luxurious outer room, waiting. When he came in he saw Jane at once, and held out his hand smiling. smil-ing. "You've heard from Edith?" "Yes. Last night. Too late to let you know." "Good. We'll go into my room." Jane was thrilled by a sense of things happening. Outwardly calm, she was inwardly stirred by excitement. excite-ment. She sat in a big leather chair which nearly swallowed her up, and stated her errand. "Baldy thought I'd better come, he's so busy, and anyhow he thinks I have more tact" She tilted her chin at him and smiled. "And you thought it needed tact." "Well, don't you, Mr. Towne? We really haven't a thing to do with it and I'm sure you think so. Only now we're in it we want to do the best we can." "I see. Since Edith has chosen you and your brother as ambassadors, ambassa-dors, you've got to use diplomacy." "She didn't choose me, she chose Baldy." "But why can't she deal directly with me?" "She ran away from you. And she isn't ready to come back." "She ought to come back." "She doesn't think so. And she's afraid you'll insist" "What does she want me to do?" Dog Show Judges' Decisions Seldom Pleasing To be a dog show judge is one of the most desired and least appreciated appre-ciated positions among dog fanciers. Novices, and many show veterans, have a distinctly envious regard for the people who award the ribbons in the show ring. The position carries car-ries with it a certain amount of the limelight which is so attractive. On the other hand, the dog show judge is one of the most abused of individuals. indi-viduals. His decisions seldom give universal satisfaction and he is called publicly and privately everything every-thing from a publicity-seeking ignoramus ig-noramus to a deliberate cheat writes R. R. Taynton in the Washington Wash-ington Star. The truth of the matter is that many people rush into dog judging before they have had adequate experience ex-perience in breeding and showing dogs and before they have cultivated that "eye for a dog" that is absolutely abso-lutely indispensable to a good judge. Others judge entirely on the basis of personal prejudice as to what constitutes con-stitutes an important point in the breed chosen. For instance, if ears of a certain type may be the most difficult point to attain in that judge's kennel he may give undue emphasis to that Send her the bag with the money and the checkbook, and let Baldy take out a lot of things. She gave him a list; there's everything from toilet water to talcum." "Suppose I refuse to send them?" "You can, of course. But you won't will you?" "No, I suppose not I shan't coerce co-erce her. But it's rather a strange thing for her to be willing to trust all this to your brother. She has seen him only once." "Well." said Jane, with some spirit spir-it "you've seen Baldy only once, and wouldn't you trust him?" She flung the challenge at him, and quite surprisingly he found himself him-self saying, "Yes, I would." "Well," said Jane, "of course." He leaned back in his chair and looked at her. Again he was aware of quickened emotions. She revived half-forgotten ardors. Gave him back his youth. She used none of the cut and dried methods of sophistication. sophis-tication. She was fearless, absolutely absolute-ly alive, and in spite of her cheap gray suit altogether lovely. So it was with an air of almost romantic challenge that he said, "What would you advise?" "I'd let her alone, like little Bo- Peep. She'll come home before you know it, Mr. Towne." "I wish that I could think It how ever, it's a great comfort to know that she's safe. I shall give it out that she is visiting friends, and that I've heard from her. And now, about the things she wants. It seems absolutely silly to send them." "I don't think it's silly." "Why not?" "Oh, clothes make such a lot of difference to a woman. I can absolutely ab-solutely change my feelings by changing my frock." She rose. "I'll leave the list with you and you can telephone Baldy when to come for them. "Don't go. I want to talk to you." "But you're busy." "Not unless I want to be." "But I am. I have to go to mar ket-" "Briggs can take you over. I'll call up the garage." "Briggs! Can you imagine Briggs driving through the streets of Wash ington with a pound of sausage and a three-rib roast?" "Do you mean -that you are go ing to take your parcels back with you?" "Yes. There aren't any deliveries in Sherwood." He hesitated for a moment, then touched her shoulder lightly with his forefinger. "Look here. Let Briggs take you ' to market, then come back here, and we'll run up to the house, get the things for lunch at Chevy Chase, and put you down, sausages, bags and all, at your own door in Sherwood." "Really?" She was all shining ra diance. "Really. You'll do It then? Sit down a moment while I call up Briggs." He called the garage and turned again to Jane. "I'll dictate some important letters, and be ready for you when you get back. So Jane went through the fine old market, with its long aisles brilliant with the bounty of field and garden. river, and bay and sea. There were red meats and red tomatoes and red apples, oranges that were yel low, and pumpkins a deeper orange, There were shrimps that were pink, and red-snappers a deeper rose, There was the gold of butter and the gold of honey the green of spin' ach, the green of olives and the green of pickles in bowls of brine, there was the brown of potatoes overflowing in burlap bags, and the brown of bread baked to crustiness the brown of the plumage of dead ducks the white of onions and the white of roses. (TO BE CONTINUED) point forgetting that a dog consists of more than a pair of ears. He forgets likewise that each breed has a definite standard and there is a scale of points, express or implied. for the various parts of the dog and that the dog must be measured against a mental image of that standard on the day judged. No judge may assume the pre rogative of putting a puppy up or down because of the way he thinks it will develop. He should not put a dog in poor coat or condition to best of breed because he happens to know how the dog looks when he is in full bloom. In other countries, dog show judges are carefully trained either by the kennel club of the country or by the breed clubs. Judges undergo apprenticeships either as student judges or as assistants or stewards in the ring.

It s all because of Charles Coburn, who has been an actor for the last thirty or forty years, and for the last two has been in Hollywood. During the last year he has appeared in "Idiot's Delight," "Made for Each Other," "Alexander Graham Bell," and the recently released 'Bachelor Mother." And before long you will be able to see him with Carole Lombard and Cary Grant in "The Kind Men Marry." But the project to give film stars stage experience is largely due to his experience as the guiding genius of the Mohawk Dramatic festival, which takes place each summer at Union college, Schenectady. There, experienced stars perform in well known plays. After his first year in Hollywood Charles Coburn discussed various faults of the motion picture industry with some of the directors and pro ducers. He was asked to do some thing to remedy those faults to start something like the Mohawk Drama festival, in fact But he saw trouble ahead, with each big company de manding the leading roles in his theatrical productions for Its stars, He felt that the best way out was for . him to line up plays if some college would take over the festival The University of California came forward, and now It seems to be all let. Stars, featured players, bit players and extras will have a chance to get theatrical experience. X . Ann Sothern deserves congratula tions for knowing what she wanted and going after it although some times the going was hard. It's more ANN SOTUERN than a year since she refused to play any more of those ga-ga heroines hero-ines and declared that she'd do nothing but character roles. She had a long wait and in Hollywood it's scary to wait too long between pictures, because the public forgets you so soon. Then came her chance In "Trade Winds," Just what she wanted. Another An-other wait, and she was signed up for "Maisic." She was so good in that one that Metro wanted her to sign a contract, but .she'd have none of it unless she could be assured of getting the kind of parts that she wanted. She'd rather be off the screen altogether than be on tt with no chance to do anything but look beautiful. So Metro gave her the contract that she wanted, and her first picture pic-ture under the new deal will be "Busman's Hobday," made In Eng land with Robert Montgomery. New York had its picture taken from the air the other day, more extensively than ever before. A complete crew of cameramen and sound technicians spent several days shooting the harbor, the skyline, sky-line, the World's fair, and everything every-thing else that they thought might be of interest to you when you see the forthcoming Walter Wanger pro duction, "Eternally Yours." Mr. Wanger is doing everything possible for that picture; look at the names in the ' cast Loretta Young and David Niven. Hugh Herbert BiUie Burke, Dr. Aubrey Smith, Zasu Pitts. If you pass this one up it won t be his fault Kennv Baker has a nice contract for next year, and Jack Benny will have to find a new singer to replace him. One of the big oil companies has lured Baker away, giving him a handsome salary, and a contract that will nermit him to talk as well as sing, which Benny's sponsors didn't want him to do.
