Bark home, through Cintra Lee’* aaai*(ance, Julia ia hired to aing on Tony I.atta'a gambling ahip. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FIFTEEN IN a little alcove behind the orchestra platform, Julia stood nervously waiting for the moment when she would make her first professional appearance as a singer. She wore her white satin, the gown that Amy liked because it made the mast of Julia's splendid figure. Her hair was different than she had ever worn it before—a lastminute, trembling inspiration before the mirror in the room that Tony Latta said was hers. Almost all her life, since she was a little girl, she had wanted to wear her hair like this—and never had. It was piled high on her head, brushed up from the back of her shapely neck, a sophisticated coiffure that was neither new nor old but which could be worn with an Empire gown as easily as with the clinging white satin. For Julia had not forgotten her interview with Henri Lamb, the owner of the Green Club. "Take off your hat,” he had said—and he had said it as if it were important. She had got at least something from that terrible afternoon when Peter Kemp had betrayed her ambition with a pealed note to Henri Lamb. If they did not like her singing, then perhaps they might somehow like her. Standing there in the little alcove, listening to the last plaintive wail of a modem tune, Julia clung to this. a a a THE cabaret room of Tony Latta’s gambling ship was literally packed. Men and women - were at the tables, ranged along the cocktail bar and some stood by the entrance. Julia wondered if It was always like this, or whether Tony had whispered it around that there was to be anew entertainer. But, at any rate, they had been drifting into the cabaret for the last half hour. B; now the air was gray-blue with cigaret smoke, drifting lazily in the shafts from the baby spotlights that ranged along one wall. Suddenly from her vantage point Julia saw one of the baby spotlights go amber, streaming a pool of light just in front of the band platform. The music stopped, and Julia heard the leader say: "Ladies and gentlemen—l want to introduce a girl who is new to you, but I think you’re going to like her. Miss Juila Craif;—singing, ‘You Are My Lucky Star’.” That was all, and then she heard Latta’s voice by her shoulder. "Lots of luck, Julia. Remember that Tony will be listening to you.” tt tt tt SHE nodded nervously, walked out on to the floor and under the

amber spot. She was dimly conscious of a sea of faces—of white discs that seemed somehow suspended between the ceiling and the floor. They were no more than that, at first, and then came a tiny rippie of applause from one of the tables. Others joined in, so that it became a wave—a warm, friendly wave that washed up to where Julia stood and made her feel alive and happy and sure of herself. She would never remember quite how she got through the song. All day long she had been afraid that she might be unable to remember the lyrics. But the words seemed to rush up inside her, come neatly in order as they had been written. In that first moment her voice was weak and uncertain, but by the time she reached the chorus she bad attained that husky quality which is the essential medium of all our modern songs. As she finished, the applause came again—still louder, and prolonged. In the little alcove she ran into the arms of Tony Latta who was fairly hopping up and down for joy. tt tt a “VT° U are — w hat is it?—a wow, X Julia! Listen to them! You have to go back right away.” He smiled his wide, pleasant smile. “Walk around among the tables, Julia. They like that.” More courageous now, Julia took up the chorus again and this time she walked slowly and rhythmically among the tables —the amber spot following her every movement, making her golden and mysterious and unattainable, making her unrecognizable as the girl who had, such a little while before, been a lawyer’s secretary. But as she drew near one of the blue-clothed tables she almost stopped singing, in her sudden surprise. A familiar face watched her, a strong, good-looking face whose tan was accentuated by the white shirt-front below it. Tom Payson smiled, nodded ever

Daily Recipe CHICKEN TIMBALES 2 tablespoons butter 1- cup stale bread crumbs 2- cup milk 2 teaspoons minced parsley 1 cup finely chopped chicken 2 eggs 1% teaspoon salt 1-8 teaspoon white pepper 1-4 teaspon celery pepper. Melt butter, add bread crumbs and milk and cook five minutes, stirring constantly. Add eggs slightly beaten, parsley, seasoning and chicken. Turn into well-buttered molds, having molds two-thirds full. Place ip a pan of hot water, cover with buttered paper and bake 3,0 minutes in a moderate oven (375 degrees F.) Serve with mushroom sauce. When timbales are served I always choose a crisp salad that is decidedly piquant. French endive and grapefruit is splendid and so is a mixture of grapefruit, oranges, white grapes and nut meats arranged on a bed of romaine and served with a French dressing made with grapefruit juice. One tablespoon crumbled Roquefort cheese can be added to the dressing.

so slightly, and Julia returned his smile. She remembered as she passed on, still singing, that Payson’s smile had seemed slightly ironic. And a corner of her mind told her, even while she sang, that he would have a right to feel piqued. tt a tt SHE made her exit to the alcove, where Tony Latta chuckled. "I am afraid you will spoil ;ny business a little,” he said. For a moment Julia’s heart sank. Had she been a failure again? "You will bring many people to the ship,” Latta went on, “but I can not let you sing too much, or no one will be in the gambling rooms!” Julia laughed happily. “Do you really think I’m—l’m all right?” “All right!” exclaimed Latta. "Listen to them buzz out there. I am afraid I will soon lose you to a big r ight club in town.” He looked at her soberly. “You are tired. This first time has been a strain—and anyhow we do not want to give them too much for a start.” "You mean that’s all I have to do tonight?” Tony nodded. "Maybe you would like to take a taxi boat home now—and tell your girl friend all about it?” “That’s just what I’d like to do, Mr. Latta.” "Remember . . .’’he wagged a pudgy finger, “nobody calls me Mr. Latta unless they do not like me.” Julia laughed. "All right, Tony.” "Look! Already an admirer is coming to see you. I’d better leave.” a a a JULIA looked up to see Payson entering the alcove. “Well!” he said, smiling, “you escaped from Evergreen Island, then?” "Didn’t you get my note?” His eyes widened. "Note? Where did you leave a note?” "On the beach,” Julia said. "It wasn’t much of a note, I’ll admit. I wrote it on a piece of driftwood and left it where I hoped you’d iand with your boat. You see, Woodford decided suddenly to leave. One of the men was hurt while they were out hunting.” "I didn’t get the note,” Payson said, “because I didn’t come back in my boat. After the run-in with your friends I decided the best thing to do was get down to the settlement in the out-board boat—and hope I’d find you w len I came back with a vesesl that would bring us both into town.” He smiled ruefully. “But, as you may suspect, I didn’t find you.” “I’m sorry,” Julia said. “I’m afraid I was an awful lot of trouble.” tt tt tt HE looked down at her curiously. “I don’t mind trouble—for a girl like you. But you have me puzzled, you know.” “Puzzled? Why?” "Well, I had you tagged as an innocent who’d got in over her head and then wished she hadn’t. Now I find you singing on Tony Latta’s tub.” Somehow the remark disturbed Julia. Her cheeks flushed scarlet. “I don’t think singing on Tony Ltta’s boat has changed me any,” she defended. "Especially since this is my first night.” “Skip it,” laughed Payson. “Let’s have a cocktail.” “Thank you. But I’m taking one of the taxi boats back to town right away.” "Date?” inquired Payson. Julia shook her head. “I just want to get some sleep. I’m pretty shaky.” “Then let me go with you.” "That’s nice of you. . . . It’ll take me just a minute to change.” She rejoined Payson by the boarding steps and together they descended to one of the waiting taxi boats. "Are you sure you wouldn’t rather stay?” asked Julia. “Not if you aren’t going to,” Payson laughed. “And anyhow, I think Tony will be glad to see me leave. I had a run of luck tonight.” “Did you win a lot?” "Quite a sum. About three thousand.” tt si tt THREE . . . thousand?” replied Julia. And then she began to laugh. “What’s so funny?” “I was just thinking—that’s as much as I could earn at Woodford & Brooks in three years!” “Tony has one or two stiff tables. Os course, a fellow can’t do that every night. And as for you, Miss Julia Craig, that won’t seem so much to you before very long. I think you’re going places.” Payson’s long, dark roadster was parked near the wharf and within a few minutes after landing they were at Julia's apartment building. He walked upstairs with her, - id at the door of her apartment asked, “When may I see you again, Julia?” “I don't know, really,” she had to tell him. “This job is going to keep me pretty busy, I’m afraid.” “Well ... if nowhere else, I can see you at Latta's.” He held both her hands in his a long moment before he said good night.

BY GERTRUDE BAILEY THE suit idea has taken such a strong hold in fashion during the last few weeks that now even the new silk dresses, that necessarily must be worn with topcoats for a while at least, have taken to suit lines. They are jacket dresses with color emphasis on the jacket. In addition to the inherent softness of these colors and the fabric itself, they have been treated to dressmaker touches, in tail feather peplums, in ripply jabots at the neckline, in stunning jewelry clips, big blobs of pale blue and crystal stones or thrusts of brilliants that look a part of the neckline arrangement. We have a hunch that the two styles pictured on today’s page will inspire a shopping trip or two, because they are utterly different from the usual interpretation of this wearable idea, which, as you probably know, can look too familiar to be interesting at this point. One is made entirely of silk

Noiv is the time to spring a silk suit from beneath your winter coat. It may be a navy bengaline dress with a powder blue bcngaline jacket and pale blue and crystal jewelry at the mckline, like the one sketched right above. Or why not a sprightly print for the jacket, like the one sketched left? It belongs to a one-piece dress that is important in its own right, because of the soft neckline and the stitched-down pleats of the skirt. Top it with a shiny straw sailor for a brand neiv look.

bengaline, the one sketched at the left. The dress is navy blue with powder blue bands running from the shoulders to beneath the arms on the bodice. The lighter blue is picked up in the handsome jewelry clip that matches exactly the powder blue bengaline jacket. n u nnHIS costume has a sleek elegance about it that fits without a ripple underneath your fitted or flared fur coat. Need we tell you that it will look fresh as paint worn without a topcoat in the spring sunshine? There is a brown and dusty pink version of this jacket dress, too. Perhaps you have already discovered how sprightly navy blue looks with mink this time of year. When navy blue is sprigged at the top with an imported print silk jacket, like the

red, yellow and white impressions on the jacket of the costume sketched extreme left, the idea is just too good to resist.

Forge Ahead in Job Hunt, Jordan Says Try Some Other Line of Endeavor, Aspiring Cartoonist Told. Put your problems In t letter to Jane Jorda who will answer your questions in thi column. Dear Jane Jordan I am 18 years of age, healthy and ambitious. I think I am capable of mastering almost anything within reason. I am very' fond of cartooning, designing, drafting or anything else that entails drawing. I am considered good in cartooning and

received the highest grade in the training school which I attended. I have tried so hard to get employment, but every place I go I am greeted with the old alibi, “I’ll send lor you in a few days,” and that’s all of that. My greatest ambition is to become a cartoonist

and I would like to develop my talent. I am sure you can help me to obtain employment by printing this in your column. WIMPY. Answer—l do not believe that publishing your letter in this column will help you find employment. I answer it because I do not want you to become discouraged. In spite of your brave words I am afraid that your failure to find work has cut into your self-assurance. To be idle when one wants to be busy breeds a gnawing sense of inadequacy which* makes itself felt in the most subtle manner when one approaches an employer. It is this that I wish you to avoid. You should not rely on promises to call you within a few days, but should return to remind y'our prospective employer that you still are on your toes and eager to work. Persistence is a valuable quality which you must develop to the utmost if you are to succeed in a highly competitive environment. You can’t afford to give up at any time, but must forge ahead with dogged determination. Even if you are obliged to work at something besides cartooning you can continue yofir drawing as a hobby. Who' knows what a valuable asset it may prove to be some day! Many a man who has found himself out in the cold .in the business world has found a means of livelihood in a hobby which he has pursued for years with no thought of profit. This is just another way of telling you that it never is smart to put all your eggs in one basket. If you really want to land work, and I think you do, you must find some way to stand out from the crowd of other applicants for jobs. Even if you’re sure of your talents you can’t sell them unless you can sell yourself, too. You must leave the impression that you are young, alert, ambitious and determined. This you can not do if you allow refusals to discourage you to the point where you quit trying. Officers and trustees of the South Side Civic Club, Inc., are to be nominated at a meeting at 8 tonight. The meeting is to be in Druid’s Hall, 1317 S. Meridian-st.

Lasting Youth Is Quality All Women Desire BY ALICIA HART “'T'HE one thing the greatest X number of women want is to stay young,” says Elaine Sterne Carrington, magazine writer who, during the past 20 years, has received thousands of letters from women all over the country. Using her fan mail as a guide, Mrs. Carrington has compiled a list of the 10 major wants of women. She tops it with “forever young” and ends it with “financial security.” It seems the feminine sex cares more about its looks and charm than about money. (Cynics please note.) Second on the list of female wants is “to keep my romance unending.” The third great yearning deals with woman’s desire to attain beauty or retain it if she already has it, and the fourth wish is for health. Naturally, I think that each one of us should desire good health above all else. If you value this previous quality highly and do all you can to keep in good condition, your chances of staying young, retaining romance and being beautiful are greater. Physical fitness makes for creamy, smooth skin, shining hair and sparkling eyes. Even the next big want (to be charming) which Mrs. Carrington places fifth on her list, must depend on the fourth (health) for fulfiillment. The healthy, energetic person generally radiates more charm than one who is listless and tired all the time. Do pay some attention to proper diet and exercise, and do try to get adequate sleep and rest. P.-T. A.
