BEGIN HERE TODAY Julia Craif. pretty ynanc ktcreUry to Citnrt* Woodford of tbo low Arm of Woodford A Brook*, is ambitious to bocoma a nlfht dub lnr*r. Julia shara* an apartment with Amv Sander*, who work* In an exeloaiee dre shop. Peter Kemp, also employed by Wood* ford it Brook*, I* in love, with Julia and ha* asked her to marry him. Julia di*eopra*e hi* attention*. He atree* to lve her a letter of introdurtion to Henri Lamb, band leader at the Green Clnh. Lamb bear* Julia tint, but doe* not offer her a Job. About to leave hi* office, Julia aee* Peter's letter, and learn* that he asked Lamb to discourage her about becoming a singer. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FOUR HER face flaming with swift anger, Julia read Peter’s note again. She whirled impulsively, and saw Henri Lamb standing in the doorway. His heavy face, too. was slowly reddening—but not from anger. For several seconds he could not speak in his embarrassment. “After all," he said, at last. “I—you se>2, Peter Kemp is a friend of mine. He once did a great favor for me." "Did it occur to you,” asked Julia, “that I might not be interested in whether Peter Kemp is in love with me? And now I—l’ll never speak to him again!” “Because he’s so much in love with you?” asked Lamb quietly. Then he added, “But I am sorry. You—you must think very badly of me now.” “The only thing I’m interested in is whether I'm good enough to get a Job in a night ciub. Mr. Lamb Will you please tell me that —honestly?" Henri Lamb shrugged. “Your voice is good for these modern songs. And you are an attractive young woman. That counts a lot, too.” “But not good enough for the Green club?” “I didn't mean that. As I said, I trying to help Kemp.” He smiled wryly. “I’m afraid I’ve done a bad Job of it.” He crossed the room. Then he turned to Julia again, “The woods are full of passable singers, Miss Craig. I could turn down the next dozer, that come in through that door~and still find others." a a a JULIA nodded. “I see,” she said tensely and left the office. As she passed through the little anteroom she felt the curious glance of Jim, the young man who had played her accompaniment while she sang “Accent on Youth.” He followed her part way down the stair. “Don’t let it get you down,” he said in a low voice, “You’ve got lots of stuff.” “Th-thanks,” faltered Julia, and stumbled Into the dark lobby of the Green Club. In another moment she was In the blinding glare of the street. Her cheeks were still hat with humiliation and anger, and she dreaded returning to the office. But return to the office she did, and when she had settled herself at her desk, she picked up the telephone and asked to be connected with Peter Kemp When he answered she said slowly, “This is Julia. Quite by accident I read your note to Henri Lamb. Thank you very much." - a a a IN the silence that followed she she could almost feel his astonishment at the other end of the wife. Then he burst out. "But, Julia, I ” “There really isn’t anything else to say, Peter. Good-by.”

She had hardly replaced the instrument in its cradle when Peter himself was in the room. “Julia, I—l know It was a rotten thing to do. But I—can’t you see that it was only because ” Julia got up from her desk in a quick, angry movement which effectively stopped his faltering defense, i "I’d rather not talk about it, Peter. I’ve a headache and I’m going home." “Won’t you let me take you?” “No ” said Julia, putting on her hat, “I’d much rather go alone.” It seemed odd to let herself into i the little apartment so early. Not since she had started to work for Woodford Brooks had she left the office before 5:15. Somehow this realization made her more determined than ever to leave it one day soon forever. With a weary sigh of relief she dropped onto the davenport and closed her eyes. ana SOON she was asleep, to be awakened later by the sound of Amy’s key in the lock. Her roommate started at sight of Julia on the davenport. “What’s wrong? . . . Are you ill?” Julia shook her head and smiled weakly. “Just a slight case of shell shock. I sang for Henri Lamb tnis afternoon.” Amy’s eyes widened. “No fooling?” “No fooling, Amy. But I didn’t get the Job. Amy made a sound of dismay. “I’ve been down at the Green Club a lot—and I never did think he knew a singer when he heard one,” she said loyally. “He did say my voice was good, though. Amy. I—l think he might have given me a chance if it hadn’t been for the note that Peter Kemp wrote.” “What do you mean?” Julia told her of Peter’s advice to Henri Lamb. “That was a mean trick,” Amy agreed. “But the poor kid’s so much in love with you that he doesn't know right from wrong. Or maybe he’s heard that all’s fair in love and war. But I've some news of my own for you, darling.” “News?” “Royal Nesbitt is going to take me out tonight. He telephoned this afternoon and I told him about you.” “Amy! He’ll think I’m a fool.” a a a AMY SANDERS pierced Julia with a glance. “Listen—you're old enough to know better than that. No ’nan thinks a girl is a fool when she has eyes and hair like yours. When Royal drops in tonignt I want you to do a song for him” “But why?” “I want him to know you really can sing He knows everybody who even thinks they run a night club. He knows some song writers, too. Wouldn’t it be grand if you could make your start with a song written especially for you?” Catjhing some of Amy’s infectious enthusiasm, Julia laughed. “You’re certainly a tonic, Amy. And after this afternon, I think I need it.” , “Well,” said Amy, “you know darned well that I’m all for you if you’re dead sure this is what you want to do But I’m still advising you to settle down to the simple life.” "You don’t take your own advice.” mentioned Julia mischievously. “Why should I? Nobody else does.” Then Amy’s tone grew serious. “But I will some time.” “You mean Royal Nesbitt?” “Heavens, no. He's not serious about anything or anybody. But

he’s fun to be with. We’re Just good friends." a a a JULIA had never quite approved of Royal Neszitt, and Amy knew It. She knew the reason for Julia's disapproval, too, though she never mentioned it. If Royal Nesbitt was not exactly wealthy, he at least had a great deal more money to spend than the other young men Julia and Army had known. Yet the sourca of his income was somewhat obscure. The Nesbitt name was a pioneer one in the city, but this Nesbitt, the gayest and youngest, seemed to possess none of the attributes of the pioneer. He was likable and had literally hundreds of friends. Julia liked him—but when it came to Amy Sanders, she wasn’t so sure. He was as gay and certain of himself as always when he called at the apartment that evening. Tall and good looking in a rugged way, he cheered Julia and she felt instinctively that with his help she could really attain what she wan ed. He had been in the room only a few moments when Amy pushed him toward the davenport and announced that Julia was going to sing. 'a a a THEN Amy took her place at the tiny little piano which, she often said, had cost her many an installment and was her particular pride and joy. She played well* and whenever she played for Julia’s singing she played more than well. Nesbitt settled back with an amused and tolerant smile. But as Julia’s soft, husky voice drifted into one of the sad, mad tunes of our modern day, his smile faded and his expression grew serious and interested. When she had finished he did not speak for, a while, and then he said* “I wish you’d do another, Julia." This time Amy chose a curious and dragging blues song that was a combination of genuine darky folk tune and the “hi-de-ho” of Harlem. There was a quiet quality in Julia’s singing that lifted the song far above its insane iyric. Nesbitt got to his feet. “I’ve spent a good share of my life listening to night club singers,” he said. “You can go places, Julia. And I’m going to see that you do.” Amy smiled at her roommate. “You see, Julia? And when Royal says a thing like that, he means it!” Nesbitt’s eyes met Julia's squarely. ‘T was never more serious in my life,” he told her quietly. (To Be Continued)

The Play The nine of diamonds is opened, a small diamond played from dummy, and East ruffs. Now just a moment before playing the five spot! You know that East is devoid of diamonds. If you play the five of diamonds, you are not going to be able to get into dummy to cash the queen or take the finesse in diamonds. Therefore, on the first trick you must throw the king. Now, if West holds the king of hearts, he is not going to be able to protect it and also hold four diamonds. Now that we have planned the hand out, let us follow the play through. After trumping the diamond, East returns a club, which South trumps. At this point all the spades but one are cashed. The ace of hearts is played next. This leaves West with four diamonds and the king of hearts, dummy has four diamonds and the queen of hearts. Declarer cashes the last spade and West is squeezed. If he lets go of a diamond, declarer will discard the queen of hearts from dummy, cash the ace of diamonds, and then take the diamond finesse, and dummy’s n are good.

Here's What You Need for That Tropical Cruise

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—(NEA)— Now' just imagine you’re taking a luxurious tropical cruise. After your 20 turns around the deck and a snooze in your deck chair, you’ll probably go below to slip into shorts and a blouse, slacks and a skirt or sweater or a backless tennis dress with short jacket. Even though you can’t bear deck tennis or shuffle-board, you must include some kind of active sports ensemble in your cruise wardrobe. That calls for gray or navy flannel slacks. Why not top them with a pink or yellow blouse? Or with white ones, wear a man-tailored white shirt, open at the throat to make you look lean and used to the great out-of-doors. And don't forget that these same outfits will be just the thing for that stop-over in Bermuda. When you’ve shown how little you know’ about deck o ports. get out your bathing suit, knee-length robe (now smarter than a full-length one) and beach shoes for a dip in the pool. The suit can be a hardy woolen, monogrammed neatly, or cotter, or silk, lined with jersey. Maybe you’ve had it on all along.

You can, you know, get a jerseylined suit of cotton with Eton jacket and skirt to wear over it. Nice idea, too. a a a FOR lunch and afternoon hours, when the sports enthusiasts have worn themselves to a frazzle and only quiet’ conversation-and-cool-drink-loving souls remain in the lounge, wear a lightweight flannel dress or a silk or linen one, depending, of course, on the weather. Linens are good, especially in the new pottery shades like deep, dusty rose, orangish yel-. lows and strange blues. In the evening (here’s where you can ge , even with the girls who stole the show during deck games) step forth rather glide slowly forth —in billowy chiffon (how about gray with yellow draperies?) or net (maybe black with silver stars plastered on the skirt), or some equally frothy and frivolous creation. You can get along with two sports outfits, three light dresses, one warmer outfit, bathing ensemble and a steamer coat, but you do need lots of evening dresses and two wraps—a heavy and a light. ✓ Outside ol a couple of printed dresses and brimmed hats to wear with them when vou go ashore, you don’t need much of anything else. Pick sports as well as evening clothes with an eye to their usefulness in the north next summer as well as for sailing over tropical seas right now’. Good luck and a pleasant cruise!

Bring Out Good Points, Beauty Expert Advises BY ALICIA HART Every woman has one feature that should be emphasized to make it appear even better and to draw attention away from less lovely oner. This is a bit of makeup art that actresses practice, and one wht . each of us should work on at home. For instance, if you have large, dark eyes, don’t spend time worrying about a thick chin or a nose which seems to turn too fa." up or dowm. Get busy with comb, hairbrush, mascara and rouge and figure out a way to make your nice eyes a true focal point of interest. Draw your hair backward from your forehead and upper part of your face. Keep your rouge rather high on your cheekbones (don’t use too much), brush your brows daily and touch your lashes with a bit of mascara. Powder your chin ever so lightly and don’t over-rouge jour lips. If, on the other hand, your eyes are just so-so. but your mouth and chin are especially nice, omit mascara, apply rouge sparingly and lipstick lavishly. Wear dresses with plain, open-looking necklines. Stay away from frilly jabots and ruffled collars that hide your throat and part of your chin. Naturally, a good deal can be done with hair which actually is shiningly healthy and perfectly groomed. If the hair is beautiful, even a quite plain woman can be stunning. You can’t change your facial characteristics, but you can improve your hair's appearance.

‘Feathers in Your Hair’ Latest Fashion Flash From Style Front

BY HELEN WORDEN NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—“ Feathers in your hair” is the latest fashion flash from the style front, i Nine women out of 19 discarded | iheir tiaras for feather fancies at a recent social function. Mrs. Vander Venter, crisp, slim, titii.n-haired and chic, chose a shining black coq feather arrangement shaped something like a high Spanish comb for a hair ornament. It emphasized the dashing silhouette of her crisp, black net evening gown. Cartier has designed a blueplumed tiara for Lady Mendi that is made of tiny spiral curves of platinum set with shimmering aquamarines to match her Ladyship’s blue hair. It curves bandeau fashion actoss her head. The stifl little jeweled plumes resemble spangled blue wood shavings. Ganna Walska, who recently returned from Paris, doesn't confine her fondness for feathers to nocturnal fashions Gay little bright pink and pale blue ostrich plumes trim the front of her black pill-box afternoon hat. The tiny bunch of feathers gives an early French Empire touch to her sleek, severe, black satin costume. Mrs. T. Markoe Robinson, on the other hand, passes up feathers in her hair for little diamond stars that twinkle and flash as she moves her head. Mrs. Robinson looks more like the sister than the mother of young Angier Duke, the only heir to carry

Dear Jane Jordan—l have a vefy ‘hard-nosed’’ husband. Sometimes he is very sweet, but often he is disagreeable and hard to get along with. Could you tell me how to make our relation a more agreeable one? TROUBLED WIFE Answer —It is simply impossible to

answer your question without some key to the situation. Remember I know nothing about either you or your husband, and I haven’t the slightest idea what gives rise to your husbands irritation. Perhaps you can gain some insight into the trouble by studying the happen-

ings and events which upset him. After you have observed without anger his disagreeable spells over a period of time, try to see If the circumstances surrounding them have any relation to each other. For example, is he a man who has been unduly devoted to his mother? What change in your conduct makes you less like the maternal picture at times? Is he invariably irritated by these changes? What does he say when he is angered? At the background of the man’s life lie circumstances now forgotten which he may have transferred to the adjustments of his marriage. His anger may flare when you fail to satisfy some of his unconscious requirements. Comprehension lies in understanding the early conditioning of his personality, but your letter gives no Clew whatever. Wounded egotism is a fertilo source of anger. Are your convictions and opinions opposed to his? Do you want different things in life which threaten his security and peace? Has he, at bottom, an easy-going emotional nature which he protects with a sort of snapping-turtle defense? a a a Dear Jane Jordan—l am a girl of 16 and am considered good-looking. Last May I met a nice boy who is three years older. I never had a date with any one else until three months ago, when I began going cut with a crowd, and since then I have never been without a boy friend. The boy of whom I spoke has told me many times that he cares for me, but about two weeks ago he met h, girl two years older than he is and has been with her quite often. He has stood me up several times, but always apologizes and has an excuse of some sort. Do you think I should let him go with whomever he pleases while I go with those of ifly choosing, or should I give him up? Os all the boys I ever met I like him best of all. DOUBTFUL NANCY. Answer—Both of you should go with other boys and girls as much as you want to. Otherwise, you have no basis of comparison and can form no intelligent Judgment of each other. In your place the only thing I could not forgive would be the boy’s failure to keep an engagement. Os course there are times when it may have been impossible for him to fulfill his dates. A well-bred boy would call up beforehand and excuse himself. But he who “stands a girl up” and saves his excuses until afterward is guilty of such atrocious manners that he does not deserve * any consideration at your hands. iv r and
