NOW GO ON WITH THK STORY f CHAPTER SIXTEEN IN the days that followed. Julia learned for the truth what she had always suspected—that singing in a night club was hard work. To many it. seemed a gay and irresponsible life, held up on the brittle surface of tunes from Tin Pan alley. Put they forgot the grinding hour.* of rehearsals, and they overlooked the difficulty of working while others were playing. Julia began to see that it was not so bad. after all, to work fuss 8:30 until s—because at 5 .you were finished and your life was your own. You could have your dinner and you could go to bed when you chose. If a young man called up for a date, you could accept it. She began to envy Amy Sanders a little, still at the gown shop, still free when the doors closed and the town relaxed for amusement or rest. But this was what she had wanted. and she did not flinch now. Every day she met with the orchestra at 11 o'clock in the morning. They rehearsed in a small building down town—and sometimes the rehearsals dragged on into the afternoon. Then Julia would have something to eat, breakfast really—for she went to rehearsals the moment she was out of bed and dressed. Following a rest at her aparlment, she would start for Latta’s gambling ship about 5:30 or 6. It was not often that she could return to town before 1 the next morning. n an RARELY did she see Amy now, and when she did it was only for a few minutes at a time. Their best talks now were on the nights when Amy herself had been out late, and they met in the apartment for a talk before going to bed. V It was on one of these nights—or mornings—that Amy confessed she was worried about Royal Nesbitt. Julia's heart felt queer as her roommate mentioned his name. "I haven’t seen him for weeks,” Amy told Julia. “Did he ever telephone you any more about his promise to find you a job?” Julia shook her head. Mentally she was trying to justify herself for keeping it from Amy that she had met Nesbitt on the Wood Nymph. “Maybe he knows I'm working for Latta now, Amy.” “But it’s not like him to slip up on a promise. I’m worried.” Julia managed a laugh. ‘‘He’ll turn up.” she said, “like the proverbial bad penny.” u n n THE other was quiet a moment. “I've tried to telephone him several times,” Amy said at last. “He isn’t at his apartment, and hasn't been there for weeks.” “But that’s not unusual, is it? I mean, for him to be away?”

“No ... " Amy had to confess “But it’s just a feeling I have. I can't explain it, Julia—but you've felt that way, haven't you?” “Yes,” Julia said, “I have.” Br.t she did not say that she was feeling that way now, and about Royal Nesbitt. “Ditl you try his parents’ home? You told me once that the Nesbitts lived in town.” “I don't like to do that, because it might disturb them. You see, he doesn't get along with his father very well. He goes home only once every month or so sometimes longer. They wouldn’t think his absence unusual, but if I call them they might get worried.” Julia patted Amy’s shoulder. “We'd better run along to bed, darling. I'm sure Royal Nesbitt is all right.” As she undressed for bed, Julia's thoughts were troubled indeed. What were Amy’s feelings toward Nesbitt? Was she in love with him —or was it. as Amy had often insisted. just a friendship? In either event, Julia felt guilty, as if she were a conspirator in some dark plot against Nesbitt and was hiding it from Amy. Why did she feel like this? Was it only because she had kept from Amy the news that Nesbitt had been aboard Woodford's yacht with Cintra Lee? Or—an ugly and disturbing thought flashed across Julia’s mind —was it because she sensed subconsciously that something had really happened to Royal Nesbitt? “I'm seeing things at night,” Julia tried to tell herself. “There was nothing unusual in Nesbitt wanting to get back to town ahead of the yacht. But where is he now?” A comforting thought came to her. Perhaps the doctor who treated Nesbitt’s shoulder had advised him to go out of town for a rest to recuperate properly. Maybe the wound had been a bit more serious than they had believed. Nevertheless, Julia's sleep was troubled that night. nun PAYSON came to Tony Latta's gambling ship several times after his meeting with Julia there. But he did not offer to take her home again, for each time he had with him two or three young men. He introduced them to Julia, seemed proud of knowing her, and when his friends danced with her they all spoke lightly of how much Tom raved about “the girl who sang at Tony Latta’s.” Yet beneath their gay camaraderie Julia sensed that none of them considered it quite possible that Tom Payson would never become seriously involved with her. It was as if she were one of a dozen “girls who sang"—or danced, or checked hats, or did one of a thousand things—in young Fayson’s life. But a few weeks after their first meeting on the gambling ship. Payson appeared again, alone. Immediately after Julia's first number he sought her out and asked her to his table. “I’m frightfully sorry I’ve neglected you so,” he told her. “Although I don't suppose you’ve noticed it. Lately when I’ve been here I've had some of the boys along.” nun JULIA laughed. “They’ve been attentive,” she said. “I begin to suspect you brought them along to entertain me while you Were in the gambling rooms.” “They’ve been too attentive, Julia. That’s why I didn't bring them along tonight. I want to talk to you seriously, Julia.” Her eyes widened. “Seriously?” “Yes. I want you to get out of

here. I don’t like the idea of your I singing on a gambling ship.” “Well . . . it’s not what I'd have I chosen. I’ll admit. But,” she smiled, “it’s been very respectable so far.” “I don't doubt that,” Payson told her. And that’s only because you are respectable, Julia. But just the same there’s a stigma attached to a gambling ship, and I don't think it's good for either you or your career.” She spread her hands open. “What can I do about it?” “That’s what I want to talk with you about. Ever hear of Smith Garland?” Julia smiled ironically. “Indeed, yes. That was why I was on the Wood Nymph—to meet Smith Garland. Only he wasn’t aboard!” “I know him pretty well,” Payson told her. “I was thinking—” “You were thinking what?” nun PAYSON shrugged. “Well, I’ve an idea, Julia. I won’t tell you any more about it right now, because it might not pan out.” “l’ou’re a brute,” Julia laughed. “I’ll be burning with curiosity until I find out.” She straightened suddenly. “It’s about time for another number. I’ll have to leave you.” “Are you going ashore in an hour or so?” Julia looked at the little clock above the orchestra, and nodded. “I’ll meet ypu in an hour,” Payson told her, "out on deck.” As she walked across the floor all eyes in the room were upon her. The envious eyes of women, or the faintly contemptuous eyes of women. The admiring eyes of men, or the faintly covetous eyes of men. Julia had grown used to their stares by now. They gave her strength and as- j surance. They told her that she j was making good, as she had wanted so badly. The amber spot spilled over her, and applause filled the little room. As she began to sing she saw Tom Payson smiling at her through the haze of cigaret smoke. When she had sung three or four numbers, and taken an encore for each of them, she hurried toward her room to change. Tony Latta was standing near her door. “Good evening, Julia.” “Hello. Tony.” She put her hand on the knob, but something in his eyes restrained her. n • n “T UNDERSTAND.” he {.fid, “that A you are leaving in a few minutes with Mr. Payson.” “Why . . . yes.” “We do not want Mr. Payson to leave so soon,” said Tony smiling. “He is now in the gambling rooms, winning heavily again. We would rather have him play some more. You know . . .” his smile grew wider, “just to make it even.” “But—if he wants to leave, I'm sure I—” Tony Latta shrugged. “It. 's only a suggestion, Julia. But he really should stay. You see, my men who run the tables are on a commission. They do not like it that Mr. Payson has been winning so heavily. I think they will want him to stay, and I—” again that smile of Tony Latta’s, “I do not like to interfere with my boys.” There was suddenly in Latta’s smile a hint of danger. There was suddenly in his eyes twin shafts of steel. (To 3e Continued)

BY ROSETTE HARGROVE ■pARIS, Feb. 7.—(NEA)—The coming fashion events—the unveiling of the spring collections are casting betraying shadows in the form of new ideas for the clothes now being designed for the smartest women here. Social activities are at their peak and formal functions are excellent huntinggrounds for fashion forecasts. There is every indication that black is being superseded by colors for formal evening wear, after many seasons’ undisputed sway. Some of the smartest women are wearing red—every conceivable shade of red, from lacquer to cherry, passing through brick and orange reds Black to be smart, must be relieved by color in the form of a scarf drapery or a huge

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M'KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League ONE seldom thinks of a tournament director as an expert bridge player. All of the national tournament directors of the American Bridge League, however, olay a skillful game of bridge. In some of their smaller tournaments they often are called upon to fill out a table. They get their experience with a variety of partners. You generally will find that, if a contract produces a mathematical problem, they will make it. H°re is a hand played by our Eastern national tournament director, Sam Naiman of New York City. I believe it is one of the best-played hands of 1935. Mr. Naiman’s partner refused to recognize his continued sign-off and, as a result of optimistic bidding on the part of North, Mr. Naiman found himself in a four-spade contract. The Play West cashed the king and ace of diamonds. It looked almost impossible to keep West from making two spade tricks. West continued with the king of hearts, which was won in dummy with the ace. Declarer realized that the spades were bunched against him, so he decided to make as many small trump, separately, as possible. The deuce of hearts was returned and ruffed with the deuce of spades. The queen of clubs was led. West covered with the king and dummy won with the ace. Another heart was returned and ruffed with the five of spades. Declarer led a small diamond and ruffed in dummy with the eight of spades. A small heart was returned, declarer ruffing with the six of spades. Declarer now cash'd his good jack of clubs and then led the nine of diamonds. West was forced to ruff QUALITY HOSIERY • PERFECT FIT 59c, TWO FOR $1.15 nisley Everything returned damp ready to iron. 14 Lba., 70c—Monday and Tuesday 5c for each additional pound. 14 Lbs.. 65c—Wed..

theme and are rediscovering the charm of the real suit with the possibilities of individuality and contrast offered by the blouse, even for formal aftei’noon wear. The silk manufacturers have brought out an extensive range of novelty silks (most of which look like everything else but silk), not to mention some extremely new prints that the couturiers will certainly not be able to resist. We shall see printed and plain fabrics combined in a suit, sometimes with the print used for the skirt, and the jacket and blouse in a plain color, or vice versa.

Necklines, so far, remain high, in front at any rate, with correspondingly denuded backs for the evening, and hugging the. throat for daytime; but this is one of the features which may surprise us all by going right the other way. There is every indication, too, that 1936 will see the advent of the light colored coat replacing black or navy silk or lightweight wool coat and dress ensembles. Worn over a sheath cut frock of navy or black, with a narrow skirt, the light beige or cream coat, varying in length to suit individual silhouettes, will contribute an altogether new note in fashions.

Head Better Than Fists; Warns Jane Husband Told There Are Other Methods to Protect Wife. Dear Jane Jordan—l have an unusually pretty wife who is inclined to be flirtatious. I have never paid any attention to her eye-rollings toward other men, as I am not a jealous person, and her silly, little conquests seemed like a harmless bit of vanity to me.

But‘here lately she has me worried. Among our friends there is a married man who is one of these typical charmers. He has made his boast that he can get any woman he wants and it seems to be true. I don't know what there is about him that is so attractive to women;

She is not herself any more, is sharp and irritable with me. weeps frequently. I feel like bashing in the head of this charmer for upsetting her. She thinks he wants her for keeps. I know he doesn't. Would I be justified in beating him up? I’ve warned him that I would. ANGRY HUSBAND. Answer —If you regard your wifi* as your property I suppose there would be a great primitive satisfaction in applying brute force to the man who defrauded you; out if you regard her as a separate individual whom you wish to protect against the result of her own folly you should use more subtle but none the less deadly weapons. To begin with, if you do him bodily damage yon make him a martyr in your wife's eyes and he will get more sympathy than he deserves. Furthermore, he would be so angry at you that the conquest of your wife would seem doubly desirable. Wouldn't it be smarter to tell him he is welcome to make love to your wife as much as he likes if only he will take the responsibility for her off your hands? I imagine he would rather take a beating than to assume the burden of her care. He already has as much wife as he wants. Nothing could so thoroughly disillusion your wife as to be refused at the hands of her charmer. If you succeed in showing the love tramp to your wife in his true colors, I wonder if you will be wise enough to restore her damaged self-esteem by your constant assurances of her worth? Will you be able to resist this temptation to drag her pride in the dust by saying: “I told you so?” Don't forget that a vain ego is a weak ego or it would not require constant victories to keep it in comfort. If your wife's desire for conquest can be diverted into socially useful channels it will keep her satisfied without dangerous excursions which disrupt your marriage. Men believe that if they provide well for a woman and work hard to keep her in comparative ease that it is proof positive of their devotion. That they are deficient in the important art of lovemaking never enters their heads until it is brought home rudely by some such circumstance as you relate. Now is your chance to take a leaf from your rival’s book. Don’t feel too superior to use some of his tactics. He isn’t reliable and you are, but he knows more about charming than you do. Think it over.
