The trek of Hollywood celebs to the President a Birthday ball in Washington recalls the time, a few years back, when Robert Taylor Jean Harlow and Marsha Hunt made the trip. They were ushered Into F. D. R's presence just as the newsreels wer* photographing his broadcast. When it was over, the president looked up, pretended to be surprised. "Well." he said. "What are you people doing here?" All of the celehe lost their tongues, all except Marsha, who piped up: "We came hers. Mr. President, to see how movies are made."

"SELF MADE livincston

CHAPTER I THE worst of being self-made, and a success, Lynn Perry thought in her lonely momenta, which came oftener than she cared to admit, was that you couldn't talk about it. Men boasted about that sort of thing, of course, but men were different. A man could rise from any sort of background, work himself through college, and actually boast about it. But with a girl it was different. It had to be kept a secret You had to pretend you were born with the gold spoon in your mouth. You had o pretend you came by everything naturally instead of working and •laving and driving yourself. Pretend . . Lynn was getting sick of it. Sick ot herself, Lynn Perry, the best-dressed business girl n town Mink coat in the closet. Always the latest and best on her jack. Sheerest of cobweb silk making her slim ankles look slimmer. A manicure and a facial and a tharnpoo and finger wave every week. Ker own luxurious little apartment. Her own maid. And at least one eligible bachelor who wanted to marry her. What's th» matter with you? she asked herseli. Why aren't you happy? You'v* worked for it — you've got it—why don't you want iL now you've got it! Were other people Ilk* that? Did they ache to to tell all? Was that why criminals went Lack to the s< ene of the crime? Has that why •o few girls ever really got anywhere? Because they just couldn’t ■elp talking about things they ■houldn'l? Because they didn't save tile patience to wait? And then she'd think of her life, is it might have been - and of her usters, Claudine and Blanche, "laudine, faded and stooped with ] ■varwork and child-bearing, and: dlatiche who had never had iove or I •omance. No! No! She couldn't bear that. | This wa* better. Anything was setter! Over and over, in her mind, she went over her early life. She couldn't say: "Look! I've .-ome a long way, haven't I?’’—but •he eould think it, and she did. She was the youngest, the last if five children—Claudine and Blanche and Bert and Lawrence - nd then 12 years later, herself. : Linda they called her. She changed t t>> Lynt. later. She lemrmbered her father, old«h and lame, going to work when ■'her men were coming home He as night watchman in the mill here the boys worked. She reeinbend her mother's dark eye* nd this white hands, and her cv, querulous and sweet And, vividly, her grandmother, who the house, because the r was an invalid. . e t' membered the small, comi ble franw house, where they I at the edge of the town.

There was >apa who petted her and tnama who ■iiseiplined her and the big brothers und * star* who laughed at her and teased her. It was just a tiny town, in the pleasant wooded country some M miles from Philadelphia. A bank and a postoffice and six churches, and a tight little cluster of shops along the main slrset And, of course, a school. All the children from the town went to the school. There were no class distinctions. Senator Scott's granddaughter. Constance, played with the Harrisons' chauffeur's girl, Thelma, and Dr. Wagner's little daughter. Ruth, and Linda played with them all. The Scott* always fascinated her. She wa* alway* going there, in•tesul of coming home after school She'd come home and tell about Mrs Scott's tea-gown« and Mr. Scott’s beautiful ruswt boots and pale tan riding breaches, and the

Sometimes her mother would punish her for going there without permission, or maybe It was because of th* question* she asked about cocktails, and prohibition and other thing* the Scott* talked and laughed about. Everyone looked up to the Scotts, of course, but they gossiped about them, too. Hard drinking, hard riding, fast living. . . . But they had fun. They knew how to live! And nobody else in the town did. One night Blanche was home from the hospital, where she worked. They were all there but Claudine. They sat around the

Blanche was happy and excited, because she was assured of a permanent position. She was about 20 then, slim and sparkling and eager, her beautiful black hair wound in braids around her well-shaped hrad, her white skin lightly touched with color. "And in another year," she said. "I'li be in surgery, and then I won’t 1 rest until I'm head of it!" Bert, always lhe cynic, lifted hi* dark head from his hand*. "And then what?" he asked. "And then-why, 111 be the, head!” Blanche repeated, a little j mystified. Bert got up. "Yeh," he said “You would. You’ll work all your life. You and Claudine and !.awrie and I. Like pa.

didn't have the heart to disappoint her. He laughed, and then ths others smiled, and the tension was broken. “Well, what AKE you going to be. Linda?” "Oh.” she said, 'Tm going to be a queen!” When they laughed, she was terribly hurt and went and hid in the shadow of grandma's skirts. "Baby,” Blanche said, laughing, "you can’t be a queen I You've gut to be born a queen.” "1 don't care.” she cried, “I'm going to be one anyway!” Bert was the first to stop laughing. He turned back to Blanche, in her neat blue serge suit with the white collars and cuffs He -a <l. "Did you hear that? What did I tell you? She know* what she

want* already, and it isn't to work for a living. She isn't like th* rest of us - she's smart!” "Bert!” their mother eried sharply, "Bert, how can you SAY *uch things?" And Linda—who was Lynn now —looked from one face to the fftwM and remembered it all afterward, every word. At least, she'd always had am bition. Bert was right about saying she knew what she wanted And 1 look*. Black hair and blue eyes. 1 white akin, and red lip*, like SnowWhite, the little princess in the fairy tale that was her favorite as a ' child. But looks aren't everything , There are millions of pretty girls, i It wasn't only her looks that did i the trick. . . . And if Bert thought it wa* going to come easy, he was WRONG! Because she wa* the baby, and because they'd never had the thing* they could give her they all spoiled Linda. Invalided now, no longer expected to coo* and wash and bake and scrub . as she had when the others were . children, the mother sat on her sofa, supported by a big pillow encased In ' a slip with Grandma Pologne'a wide i erochet edging, her feet covered : with an old Afghan, and sewed con- ' stantly. Little hand-ainocked ging i ham dresses, tucked voiles, hand knit sweaters. Whatever the other . girls had, Linda had, too. ! If she protested that land* wanted too much, the father inter ceded "Oh, let her have it! Rhe'* I only * child once!" And Grandma. ■ upon whom the burden of “manag i ing" rested, just smiled her wide, . almost toothless smile, and per- ■ formed still greater miracle* of I French thrift.
