Relics of Romances Go on Sale Affectionately Inscribed Baubles Offered on Bowery Market. BV HELEN WORDEN Tim* SonTl Writer TKjEW YORK, April 11.—I joined Mrs. S, H R Doyle yesterday, on an expedition to the Bowery diamond market. Mrs Doyle, a gentlp. blond-haired Tenneveoan. has a flair for finding odd gadgets and out-of-the-way neighborhood*. • I never know where Lucy's going to be next!" her husband, Capt. Doyle, United States Navy, said recently. The captain is chief of staff of the Ea.-tern district. Thirty-five years in the Navy have given him a wide acquaintance and plenty of experience. But I'd match Mrs. Doyles odd expeditions against his adventures, any time. I met the captain last week at Kali ky and Gabav's University-pi auction rooms. His squarely built, rugged figure, ruddy face and seatrained voice dominated the scene “I'm just trying to keep track of Mrs Doyle," he explained. The diamond market sprawls along the west side of the Bowery Irom Canal to Hcster-sts. Haggling, itinerant dealers swell the crowds that swarm the stores, where hundreds of jewelers and silversmiths ren* space. Small Sales Prevail The shouts and bids of the mob rose above the roar of the Third-av L as Mrs. Doyle and I pushed our way through. Occasionally a fancy price was asked for some glittering bauble that may have been the service stripe on the white arm of a Broadway or Park-av beauty. But the run of sales tended toward small stuff. The Bowery diamond market is the clearing house for mementoes of dead romances. "With all my love,” ran the inscription in a gold cigaret case. "My darling" were the words etched inside a thin wedding ring. "Get your money out of your gold a,d silver now r !” yelled the dealers. "While the prices are right!" Scales jangled. High-powered lights beat down on he squabbling, seething mass around us. "Pretty quiet today," someone said. Stocked by Pawn Shops The ever-shifting merchandise market is the backwash from pawn shops. "Unredeemed pledges,” a dealer explained. Mrs. Doyle's hobby happens to be auctions. Tomorrow I'll describe the hobbies of other well-known women, among them, Mrs. Lawrence Tibbett, wife of the famous baritone. who likes to collect eighteenth century barber sl\ops; Sophie Kerr, the magazine writer, who thinks nothing of jumping the next steamer, to get a certain English snuff box. and Mrs. Sherman Hoyt, whose enthusiasm for French poodles has revived the craze for these foolish landscaped pups and backed dachshunds off the map, socially speaking.

Eve was still asleep and Virginia, who had sat up talking to Bill until Eve came home, was baking a cake. "To go with the ice cream," she explained. "Bill is so crazy about it.” "You'll spoil him," Irene warned. "No danger! He's been married before to the kind w r ho didn't know how to do anything but open a can. I wish you were going to be here for dinner, too." “Save me a piece of cake," Irene begged, adjusting the green hat. "And pray for me. I'm only on my way to Seattle.” Since her first trip when the; had been compelled to make a forced landing she had secretly dreaded that part of her schedule. Suppose it should be rough like that again? Would she be able to keep her balance and look after the passengers as the other stewardess had done? At the airport she met Tom Merrit for the first time since she had gone out with him. He saluted her gaily, "Hello, there! How are you getting along?" “Fine!" she returned. “Going to Seattle with me today?” “I'm going to Seattle.” “Oh, you are? Well, listen, baby, you're going with me then. We’re both leaving on the same plane.”

Din ncr — Braised beef liver, steamed brown rice, creamed onions, tomato jelly salad, chocolate cake with Alligretti icing, milk, coffee.

The trip was rough. It would have beon bad enough, Irene thought, if she hadn't been expected to serve lunch, but the task of preparing even the simplest meal in a kitchenette which consisted of a foot square shelf was a difficult one. As she poured the coffee the cream upset and when she stooped down to mop up the cream, the hot coffee slid down her neck. Then just when the trays were ready to serve the plane hit an unexpected air bump and the coffee spilled for the second time all over the napkins and plates. It was almost as if the mischievous Tom Merrit was doing it deliberately to torment her. 3y the time they reached Seattle, Irene was glad to stumble into the limousine bound for the hotel where rooms for the air hostesses were reserved. She felt ill and discouraged. If all the trips were like this one, it wouldn’t be worth It, she thought, hurrying out of her clothes and slipping into a bed which continued to pitch even after she had closed her eyes. She must have slept, because when she opened them it was after 8 and the telephone was ringing. Tom’s voice jeered, “You sound as if you had been asleep.” “I have.” “At 8 in the evening? Get dressed and let’s go places.” Once before she had accepted that invitation to learn that Tom’s idea of a perfect evening was a succession of amorous advances leading up to the inevitable conclusion. “I can’t," she evaded. “Too tired.” "Don't be that way,” he begged. “I’ll leave you alone if that's what you’re afraid of.” “I'm not afraid, Tom. Just too exhausted to battle with you." “There will be no battle,” he promised. "Word of honor. Come on. It will do you good.” Thus urged, Irene rose and dressed again. To find just as she suspected that Tom s word on such matters was worthless. He let her alone just long enough to eat her dinner, then he began. “What do you have against me, baby? Why won’t you kiss me?” That any girl might not want to kiss the handsomest pilot on the air line was incomprehensible. “You’re the funniest kid I ever saw,” he said, when after an evening wasted in argument he brought her back to her hotel. “I can’t understand how a girl as pretty as you are can be so self-sufficient.” "Perhaps that’s why,” she answered w'earily. a a a THE trip to Portland and to San Francisco were uneventful. But an incident occurred on the way home from Los Angeles that week which strengthened her resolution not to accept engagements with passengers. A man got on at the Buroank airport after bidding his wife and two children good-by. He was a tired looking man in his early thirties, slender and welldressed, but wearing a black beret. His wife was young and blond and pretty. The children daintily fresh in summer clothes danced about him shouting, “We" want to go with you, daddy. Take us, too.” It was the noise they were making which attracted Irene’s attention in the first place. Then she saw that there were tears in the eyes of the girl who clung to him. She was still watching as the plane circled back past the airport, but her husband was too busy getting settled to look for her. The name on his ticket was Norman Drury and he was going to San Francisco. When Irene perched on the arm of his chair to chat as was her custom he said, “Aren’t you new?" “I’ve been working two weeks.” "I make this trip once or twice a month.” he said. “And I was sure I hadn't seen you before. One wouldn’t forget a girl like you.” She smiled and started to move away. “Don’t go!” he begged. “I’d like to talk to you. My interest in pretty girls is not personal. I'm married.” "So I perceived,” she retorted. "My wife is a wonderful girl. Very broadminded. But then she'd have to be. Wives of men connected with motion pictures can’t afford to be otherwise.” So he was connected with motion pictures, was he? Well, he looked it, Irene thought. Slight and tired pith rather a cynical expression and lines about his eyes. Even without the beret he would have complied | exactly with her idea of movie di- ! rector. He made no further attempt to converse with her but opened a portfolio conspicuously filled with j "stills” and apparently became deeply absorbed in his work.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BILL NAUGHTON was "deadheading back to San Francisco, so when Irene had an idle moment she said to him. “It seems we have a movie director traveling with us today.” The publicity man grinned “Do you mean the gent in the front seat?” “Mr. Drury—yes!" “He’s co director,” Bill said. “Where did you get that idea?” “From him. He said he w-as connected with the movies.” “He’s a film salesman,” Bill declared. “I’ve known him for years. One of the biggest liars on the Pacific coast.” Irene was amused. “I might have known it. If he really were a director he wouldn't have gone around boasting 1 about it." Bill nodded. “You’re learning, child! The real celebrities sneak on and off the planes as if they were criminals. That’s what makes my life so complicated. The ones whose pictures I crave shun publicity while the ones I don't want are only too anxious.” The plane was approaching Fresno, and Irene arose to see that straps /ere adjusted for the descent. “What would you like to do, Bill, if you had a chance?”

i “Go to China as a newspaper correspondent,” Bill answered promptly. When the plane stopped Irene saw a young girl waiting at the Fresno airport. Eagerness was in •: every line of her from the blue hat which matched her eyes to the tips of her ridiculously high seeled black and white shoes. Norman Drury, sauntering out with the rest of the passengers. ! kissed her. She seized his arm and ! walked into the station with him prattling like an animated toy. Her chalk-white prettiness was artificial, but there was the same desperate adoration in her blue eyes which had been in the eyes of that other girl who was his wife. When the passengers returned to the plane she was with him. Sitting across the aisle from him, reaching across to talk to him or touch his hand. The name on her ticket was La Verne McNair. She was going to San Francisco. “The poor little fool,” thought Irene. “I w-onder if she knows he has a wife and tw’o children in Los Angeles.” She watched with disillusioned eyes as they left the plane and walked arm in arm toward the waiting limousine.
