asked, after they had shaken hands, . her eyes fixed on his face so that she might catch the least change of expression. “The 'phone messagt* re--1 layed to us by the press agent, Mr. Gutman, was that you were sick in , bed." I “And so I was,” he said quickly, . smiling in a deprecating sort of . way, as though ashamed of his indisposition. “A touch of ptomaine I that’s been threatening lor several I days, a. a matter of fact. But Falconer called me and wanted me on the set early this afternoon. Needs must”—he shrugged in a familiar ; feature —“when the devil or a ditector drives one!” Before Diana could say that they had been on the Falconer set in the early afternoon, and had seen no signs of him, Genevieve broke in. Her blue eyes sparkled with a touch of malice, as she said, archly: “Your assistant was here when we arrived. As you see, she kindly mixed some excellent cocktails for us.” For a second he looked nonplussed, then he said quickly: “That’s swell! I could do with a tonic. I still feel wonky. Excuse me while I fetch a glass from the bathroom.” Diana finished her cocktail hastily while he was out of the room. She thought: “For heaven's sake, sparkle, can’t you? Don’t let him think you’re peeved I Don't be smallminded!” But for the life of her she could not keep from questioning him. although she knew it was a tactical mistake, because something inside her that was hurting urged her to get to the bottom of bis delays. “I 'phoned you from the Diplomat . Hotel at half past twelve or quar- ; ter of one, but the girl at the desk

I said the 'phone didn’t reply.” f He was pouring his cocktail into ‘ the glass and she noticed how his hands were shaking. Poor boy, he ! did look sick. “I told her I didn't want any calls i put through. T was absolutely ! dizzy, Diana. I had a head like a i balloon. But had I known that it > was you, my dear —” He broke off. She was asking herself how it i was that Mr. Falconer had suc- • ceeded in reaching him? He saw ’ the query in her eyes. He said: “Os I course, you understand it’s an un- . written law that—whether one’s on one’s death-bed, or the roof's fallen all calls from one's studio must be put through on the dot!” Diana accepted that explanation, telling herself they had erred in the Art Department when they had informed her that Roger had not been in, nor was expected till tomorrow morning. Perhaps he hadn’t gone near the Art Department? Perhaps he had worked on the Falconer set through the entire afternoon? “Look here, you must be famished. Let me take you to the nearest spot ‘for dinner.” Genevieve jumped a‘ tb« suggestion. The cocktails had stimulated her usually lagging appetite They walked across the street and entered a charming garden restaurant. The place seemed full of pretty girls, blondes predominating. Did Roger often come here? Did he know many of them? With the Hollywood code that it was perfectly ethical to snatch anyones beau that “if you could take it, you could give it”—Diana somehow felt uneasy about Roger who was so outstandingly good-looking and tractivc. , , Ought she and Genevieve to have come here to live, instead of removing themselves to a hilltop? But this place was gureiy much more expensive than the. modest, isolated court in which they had rented a bungalow? They would never have been able to afford it on Another little round of •’ocl.tails? Manhattan or MartUii or Old-Faslxioneds?” Roger

sent to the Indiana unemployment' compensation division with the employer’s January contribution report between February 1 and 20. January 1-31 —The Indiana unemployment compensation division prepares certificates for the federal bureau of internal revenue showing the amount contributed by [each employer to the Indiana unemployment fund, based on wages paid for 1936 employment. January 31—Last day for filing returns for payment of federal un-j employment pay roll tax of 1 per l I cent on wages paid for 1936 em-1 ployment. From the amount shown : to be due the federal government, I the employer deducts the amount which he has paid to the state unemployment fund. This deduction, however, may not exceed ninetenth of the federal tax due. (Note that the state rate of 1.2% for the nine months of 1936 after April 1, will, on the average, equal ninetenth of the federal 1% tax for the full year 1936). February 1-20 — Contribution reports covering both employer’s and employee's payments on wages payable in January, must be filed with the state unemployment compensation division. Contributions due under Indiana law by 20th of each month therea. 'r covering previous month's pay rolls. 1938, 1939 and Thereafter In these years, r ocedure is much the same as in 1937.

suggested as he picked up the tabled’hote menu. They had Old-Fashioneds, since Bebe’s cocktails had been Manhattans and the two kinds blended—or Roger insisted that they did. “But no more drinks for me,” said Diana firmly when he would have ordered wine with their dinner. “I have to be at the studio at eight tomorrow morning, Roger.” “I’ll call for you and drive you there,” he suggested. Her spirits lifted. She was to see lots of Roger. Why fear rivals? Forget about Bebe. Forget about these beautiful platinum-blonde creatures that kept glancing over at their table, and whispering to one another, as though discussing him —or her—or both of them. They were half way through dinner when a disturbing thing happened. A red-headed girl had come in with a thin, dark escort, and as she passed their table that was near the door, she leaned toward Roger for a moment, whispering sibilantly: “Some party last night, wasn’t it?” Diana pretended not to have heard. But Genevieve, stimuia‘e-1 by the cocktails, was less tactful. “So that was the reason you wen, hors de cambat this morning, Roger?” she challenged him archly. Having picked up a precarious living for Diana and herself these last few years, via the business world and the commission racket, Genevieve was no fool where men were concerned. An aristocrat she might be, but that didn’t prevent her putting two and two together, vulgarly speaking. For the past hour sne had been

wondering if it would be worth their 3 while to continue on the same intimate terms with this young man whose money hitherto had doubtless covered a multitude of peccadilloes s . . . one could excuse them in the 1 heir to millions . . . but how much i was left of that colossal fortune? t And what sort nf a life was Roger ■ living in the movie city now? t Then and there, Genevieve made - up her mind that she would thorJ oughly investigate Roger's financial ’ position. Diana thought herself in love i with him. But at eighteen, one ex--1 pected school-girl infatuations. They could bo checked, if necessary. Knowing that Genevieve had > overheard that fool of a red-haired woman, and probably Diana, for all ■ her well-bred silence, had also heard the phrase: “Some party!” Roger said nonchalantly: “You’ll find that asinine remark everywhere in ' Hollywood, referring to one drink 1 or gallons of them! As a matter of fact, I was working some designs out at Huntington’s last evening—he’s one of the best scenic artists in the colony and a peach of a good fellow—when around ten o'clock we were interrupted by a bunch of giddy goats who, according to the Hollywood custom, think every home out here is a likely spot for a drink. This particularly, because they were already pretty ‘high’ when they arrived. Huntington foolishly but generously gave them the run of his cellar. I cleared out before eleven, and, believe it or not, still on - the wagon!” “Which youre making amends for now,” supplemented Genevieve tartly. Hypocrites she could not bear, she told herself. She simply didn't believe Roger, and hoped tnat Diana didn't, either. No child of hers could be a complete idiot. Although Diana tried to keep up a run of cheerful conversation, the dinner that should have been so festive was something of a failure. Roger, it was obvious, was suffer, ing from a hangover which th« cocktails did little to remove (To Be Continued) cwxuhi. mi. kiss IMUUU anluaii.

to the emergency pooled fund. | If an employer's reserve account is equal to 10.3 per cent of his previous year's pay roll, the employer's rate is 2 per cent; if the reserve account is equal to 13.71 per cent of the previous year's pay roll, the rate is 1 per cent, and if equal to 17.1 per cent of the pay [ roll, contributions of both employer and employee cease. The employer, however, continues to re- i ceive erdit against the federal tax.
