THE It LOX DE DIED by KELLEY ROOS —2JSA From the Dodd. Mead *Co novel.

tnsns Connie Barton's husband of almost five happy years has made her suspicious lately by his Wednesday night absences: his alibis for going out these eventags have worn thia. So Connie concludes Steve must be having blonde trouble. She resolves to fight fire with fire. She begins by going to Paul's beauty parlor and having her jet black hair dyed the blondest blonde. Then— CHAPTER 2 I would have to hurry. Steve would already be home, wanting his dinner, impatient to get all dolled up and be on his Wednesday night way. But I took time to stop at the corner of Lexington and Fifty-ninth and do a little testing. Perhaps I had been deceiving myself. Maybe Paul hadn’t been so overcome by me; maybe it was just pride in his own work. I leaned one shoulder up against the fruit juice stand window and loitered. Two young intellectuals, male, approached. They were arguing violently. They saw me. They stopped solving the world’s problems, they slowed down. After they passed me and got faced front again I heard one of them ask, “What were we saying?" I was gratified. An elderly delivery boy came along on a bicycle-cart He was nearly maimed by a taxi. I was further gratified, but not yet satisfied. A little man, carrying his big wife’s bundles, turned the corner. He almost stopped. She grasped his arm, marched him off. I heard what she said. She called me a hussy. 1 was deeply gratified, completely satisfied. I went home. It was only two rooms, bath and kitchenette over a Lexington Avenue delicatessen, but to me it was the home I was trying to save, and I went there as fast as I could. - I went into the kitchen. Steve had already got himself something to eat I went into the bedroom. His clothes were all laid out, including the tie I had given him last Christmas. Steve was in the shower. I got out the negligee he had given me last Christmas. 1 put it on, spent a few minutes at my dressing table: I draped myself on the chaise longue, practicing slow smiles and, eyelid lowering in a hand mirror. 1 tried « throaty laugh or two. Then the bathroom door opened and Steve was standing there, almost naked. He saw me. He jumped -back into the bathroom and slammed the door. He did a double-take with the door. It opened slightly once, slantmed shut again. It opened once more, stayed open. He was looking at me. He ventured a step toward me. "Connie . , “Darling . . ." “Connie, what in God’s name happened to you?". “I’ve been to the beauty - parlor.” - < "Did it explode with you in it?” ' ‘Darling ..." „

“Connie, bo! Oh, no!" ’ He came closer and peered into ■ my face. I slow smiled him. I ; slipped him the lowered lid business. 1 put a cigarette ■between - 1 my half-parted Ups. It feu out. “Connie, why?" His voice rose. “Why B> hell did you do this to yourself?" I opened my mouth to speak, but I was trying for something too throaty, too husky. Nothing ; came out. "No!” Steve shouted. “We ’ won’t discuss it now. I’m late . for my appointment." 1 got up and went into the living room. I heard him scrambl--1 ing into his clothes. I fixed the 1 lights, low but not too low. When r he came in, I was leaning pro--1 vocatively against the fireplace, one foot extended a little, my 1 knee bent in the Dietrich manner. ’ He stopped and stared at me. I said, “Must you go out . • > • must you really?" He wavered. I was making ’ time. I threw back my shoulders, ’ lazily though, and tilted back my 1 head. I lowered my lids another ■ notch. I could hardly see him. He said, "Yes, I really do have to go. I . . . I promised Al Finch." i * “Promised him what?" “His aunt’s coming to town, his only aunt, and he’s tied up. I have to meet her at Pennsylvania Station ..." “Darling." I swayed toward him. “Darling . . ." “Connie, for God’s sake . . Then he was laughing so hard he couldn’t speak. He choked, he doubled up. Then he staggered to the door and was gone. I sat down... another Wednesday night and I was alone. I started for the phone to call Paul, demand my money back. But I by-passed the phone. There was still something 1»could do. I could follow Steve and learn the truth. I could find out what gorgeous, fascinating creature’s eyes needed scratching out e e. • I gambled on the direction Steve might have taken, and I won. He was crossing Lexington at Bloomingdale’s, headed for the downtown station of the CRT subway, when I caught sight of him. There were enough people on the platform to screen me from him until a train came in. I got in the car Just behind his. I watched him sit down. He was smiling; occasionally his lips would quiver in a chuckle. At Fifty-first Street an overdone, outlandish blonde of an uncertain age boarded the train and sat opposite Steve. He started laughing out loud, uncontrollably. Everybody in the car looked at him, then looked around to find 1 the joke. Thwarted, they shook their heads and shrugged at one another. One man drew circles on his tentpie and pointed to < Steve. His diagnosis received considerable approval ; Steve got off the train at Grand Central. I followed him up through the teeming depot.

across Vanderbilt Avenue, wee* i along Forty-fourth Street It was ; quite a chore. Steve was in a ■ hurry, anxious to get where he r was gbtag. Bitterly I thought of . the times when he came hurrying . home to me, even on Wednesday r nights. He turned north on Madison , and he was practically galloping. ; I was about ready to cave in ; when he ducked into a large office building on a corner. I i reached the lobby just in time to i see him board an elevator. He was its only passenger. Its doors i closed: it started up. I watched • the indicator; it was at the fouri teenth floor that Steve got out. I took a step toward another elevator, then hesitated. I had , a moment of shattering misgivings. Why was I here? Just what did I intend to do? Confront the homewrecker, plead . with her to return what was lawfully mine? No, I could never bring myself to do that. Then I remembered a thing or two . . . like the first time I met Steve Bbrton. After college there was enough of Uncle Willie’s money left for me to study journalism for a year at Columbia. That spring, growing a little worried about my finances, I started looking for a job. I ventured down to one of New York’s largest if not most literate newspapers. But I never did get to see anyone important there. Because this fellow named Steve Barton was trying to make some time with the switchboard girl when I got there. He thought I should let him ten me about this newspaper dodge over a drink, maybe two. Two weeks later he was still telling me, nightly. He said it would take years for me to forget my education and become a passable reporter. It was different with him. He was only a high school man and the New York City high school had been so overcrowded that he hadn’t learned anything really. He had a chance in this newspaper dodge. He was unsullied by any high ideals of journalism ... I didn’t really listen to him much. I sat there nightly in that smoky bar and looked at him. I found myself enjoying that. In June I was graduated with honors from my school of journalism. Steve got a raise and a promotion from police reporting to the sports department We got married. The elevator operator was asking me impatiently, “Going up or not?” I stepped into the car. I had something to fight for. "What floor?" the operator asked. “Fourteenth," I said emphatically. “Boy, you really mean it; don’t you, lady!" Connie comes facie to face with death tomorrow in Chapter * of “The Blonde Died Pairing," . ,
