That being so, U wouldn't be decent of me not to give you a hail and stand by in case J'm needed now would it?" Mrmentarily Lucinda contended lagamst temptation. Then, "You are dear, Dobbin," she said almost "But it isn't fair of you tegretfully. much.

That tbey were united in one service was proved by the legend running from end to end of the row beneath Its second-storwindows: ALMA DALEY STL'DIOS -- CULP INC. BEN . CULP, CINEMAS, PRES'T. This was the nursery In which what Mr. Culp (or his press agent) had brilliantly Imaged as the youngest, fairest sister of the plastic arts was fostering the finest .lower of it expression, to wit, the artistry of Alma Daley, in private life, Mrs. Culp. With every symptom of disgust the doorkeeper growled at Lontalne "Yees kin g'wan up but moind ycr sthep; they's a darrrrk turn In the sthalrs." He pressed a button and a wire door swung back, the party filed through and stumbled up two flights of creaking stairs to a tiny landing upon which a number of doors stood all closed, each sternly stenciled: PRIVATE. One of the doors opened hastily and ejected a nervously ingratiating young man, Mr. Lane, secretary to Mr. Culp. He shook each visitor warmly by the hand, then threw wide another of the PRIVATE doors. "This Is the main stage, ladles.

On the point ot entering her car after Fanny, however, Lucinda recalled her bridge engagement and turned back to telephone that she would be late. Having seen no more of Bellamy since their encounter she had dismissed the possibility of his returning. The surprise was so much the more unwelcome, consequently, when on leaving the booth she saw her husband, with his hat on the back of his bead and his arms full of lavender orchids, wavering irresolutely in the entrance to the Palm Room, surveying with a dashed expression its now all but deserted spaces. With sickening contempt, Lucinda made hastily for the revolving door. Simultaneously Bel caught sight of her and, with a blurred travesty of his really charming smile and a faltering parody of that air of gallant alacrity which she had onoe thought so engaging, moved to Intercept Lucinda. And finding her escape cut off, she paused and awaited him with a stony countenance. "Ahl there you are, eh, Linda! 'Fraid I'd missed you.
