She takes out her longing for romance by corresponding with Edward Wilson of Oakland, whose letter to a correspondence club she answered. She looks forward to a firat meeting with Edward. but fears it too. He arrives in Los Angeles without notifying her in advance. Marie ia so flus,e.rdressing for an appointment with Edward, she goes 'round in J u,i * ““««*»’• that Marie bring Edward to dinner, but Marie, ashamed of her home, declines. Edward is just ss Marie had pictured him-tall and handsome. They are mutually attracted Edward is familiar with Hollywood's bright spots having played there in pictures. CHAPTER V He did all the talking. He was I pleasantly surprised after the first shock, to find that she was so shy i and unsophisticated. Her letters had suggested something quite different. She just sat there,-and looked adoringly up into his eyes—lt was a pose, of course her line, but a dam good one. His sister Bee could take a few pointers, but of course she wouldn't—didn't know enough. The few questions she asked were all about him. How long had he stayed in the lonely Stanislaus forest! He must have come back to Oakland right after she wrote that first foolish letter because almost directly his address changed. He tried to answer, told half of his best story—about the time that he and the ranger from Frawley's tried to roll a burning log into a flaming canyon, and the other fellow’s leg got caught in the branches, and he. Edward, alone and single handed—held that burning log on the steep slope until the other man could extricate himself from the clinging branches, and what would have been a fiery death in the raging forest fire Mow. They had both been burned, both hurt, both terribly scared—and it did make a good story. .., But he interrupted even his best story to gate at her, to tell her she was different from any girl he'd ever known, that her eye.i were stars, her skin a flower petal, her hair a dark cloud of g10ry.,.. She meant to notice everything, to remember everything they had to eat, to tell Julie later. But she hardly noticed what he ordered, and when the food came they left it, to dance. He was a bom dancer. He danced easily, gracefully, a living part of the music. Under hie expert guidance she forgot to be nervous. They floated together. Other couples crowded them, touched them, on the crowded floor. But they were alone together. The dessert had come, and she must have eaten it, because the plate was empty. “More coffee," Edward said, "and ■ two Benedictines.” She loved his man-of-the-world manner. He knew how to do things. , He sailed right ahead, without look- , Ing to see how much... The floor show was on again. She I watched it, smiling happily. They < danced again and again. There was i much more room now. People didn't I get in their way as they did before. ; “Well-—before we get thrown 1 out!" Edward smiled. He called the waiter. They walked out, past rows of empty tables, up the thickly car- i peted steps, to the lobby, where the i

"Seems like a nice enough feL low,” Charlie said, lighting hla pipe. Julie looked at him reproachfully. It's easy to be pleased when It isn't YOUR daughter's happiness at stake. "Oh, he's nice enough,” she said. "Rut, my land!" Charlie puffed on in silence. "What does a girl see in a kid like that?" He grinned, spread hie stubby fingers. "Girls will be girls!" "Oh, Charlie, don't bo coy I Don't I know all the answers? But what I mean ia—here’s Marie—never so much aa looks at a boy. And that Howell boy the one that worked for the real estate company over in Beverly—you know the one I mean —was a real prospect. But could she see him? No—and he was serious, too. “And now this—thia kid—this big-talking, do-nothing comes here out of curiosity—mark my words !— out of curiosity—and at ths first kind word from him, the first look you might say, ehe fails—like a ton of bricks!” Charlie was still grinning.

But Charlie—in her own funny little way she's in LOVE with him—terribly in love. And you know as well as I do, that it's absurd, and it’s funny—if you care for that kind of Joke —and it is going to hurt when she realises the truth. “Because of course she's Just one more little adventure to him—he's been around, that one.

"Out of the way I I didn't mean anything like that But that nice, flattering way he looks at you—and the way ho kind of coeks hie head on one side when he listens—as if pearls of wit and wisdom were just dripping out of your mouth, and he couldn't boar to miss one thing—and all the time not really listening at all!
