FOLLY and FAREWELL

BEGIN HERE TODAY Lindt Bourne, i* *er old, pretty nd 00(101)7 prominent In the little town of Newtown, lo plmoot pennileto after the sudden death if her '.(her. She become* friendly v.ith Peter Gardiner, politi'-al reports, and shows him a scenario the bat written. Peter (ets Linda a Job as society reporter. Dig Carter with whom Linda is in love, goes abroad for a year. His letters are far between and Linda tries to for* ■et him. She becomes engaged to Peter, but postpones the date of the wedding. Honey Harmon, film actress, comes to Newtown on a ‘'personal appearance” tour. She has a severe cold and goes to the local hospital Peter Interviews her, tells her about a play he has written. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER NINE LINDA inspected herself carefully In the mirror, and spoke with sharp sarcasm, “Well, Miss Bourne, you certainly are a fascinating woman. What is it that you have, my girl, that ties men to you with such utter devotion?” She gave an angry glance at the old-fashioned clock on the mantel then, and went back to her book. It was the newest best seller, but, for all the attention she was able to give it, It might have been a statistical report of taxes in 1845 The clock struck 11 and Linda closed her book with a bang. Definitely she was not waiting up. She wouldn’t wait until that hour for any man. And what right did Peter P. Gardiner have to treat her so rudely? He had distinctly said he would arrive at 8 o’clock. He hadn’t, and he hadn’t phoned. Very well, he’d never do that again. She could get along very well without him. If she never saw him again it would be all right! Nevertheless, she went to the front door, opened it and peered down the street before she went upstairs. “I’m acquiring the bad habit of talking to myself, ’ she said coldly to herself as she mounted the stairs. And then did it again—- “ Movie star!” u it THE “movie star,” Miss Honey Harmon, appeared clearly in Linda’s mind. Miss Honey Harmon gazing adoringly into Pete Gardiner’s eyes as she snuggled up to him in her car. Linda wished she hadn’t seen them that afternoon. Since it looked as though Pete' were going to be another memory in her life, Linda wished that she hadn’t seen him last acting like a love-sick shcoolboy. Os course she’d have to see him again, she thought, brushing her hair savagely. She’d have to see him every day at the office. At that moment the Blade, her career, the limitations of her life, presented a drab prospect, and she tried to look ahead at what the years might hold for her. True, she hadn’t been sure she wanted to marry Pete. She loved him, in a way, but, from the moment that she had promised to marry him, she had felt she was doing it to make him happy. She laughed then, but not very lightly. Make men happy? What was the matter with women? Linda was only 20, and the only two men she had given any affection to had let her down. First Dix and now Pete. The strength of her affection for Pete lay in her belief in his character. And he had gone running off with this blondined little movie across. tt n HE probably was holding Honey’s hand at the moment and eating up her words, feeling like an irresistible male. Linda wished she lived in a world of women. Pete Gardiner wasn’t eating up Honey Harmon’s words, but he was hanging on them. What Honey had to say to him this night was the most important thing in his life at the moment. For nearly 10 days since Honey Harmon had come to Newtown, Pete had been dancing attendance on her, and since 5 that afternoon, since he had told her that he had a play he wanted her to read, he had been waiting for this moment. Hadn’t Holbein told him to “try Hollywood” with his play? He hadn’t intended it for pictures, but when fate dropped a golden-haired opportunity, in the person of Honey Harmon, but two inches from his lap, who was he to refuse it? It meant everything to him and everything meant Linda. If Honey liked the play as a vehicle for her self and would buy it, he could have Linda. There would be money enough to support a wife. He tried to talk about it in the afternoon and he tried again during dinner, and when finally Honey de- ■ manded to see the manuscript immediately, he brought it forth and forgot to telephone Linda. When he realized that Linda was wait- ! ing. he was sure that he could ex- , plain it to her. "u u u AN exceedingly pretty frown appeared on her alabaster brow as Honey pored over the pagfs of Pete’s play. She curled up in a mound of pillows and assumed pose 61 as she perused page after page and Pete smoked cigaret after cigaret, not daring to interrupt the train of thought. If there were any. There was. “But Petie”—how he hated to be called Petie—“lt isn’t me!” Pete didn’t answer that. He still hoped. “It’s too marvelous, but it’s not for me. It’s sophisticated.” “It is sophisticated,” Pete agreed, and smiled at her. “But it’s anew kind of sophistication. Julie is young and glamorous. She’s deep. She is you.” “Oh, darling!” Honey, the deep one, rose from her pillows and touched him lightly on the cheek. “You really do know me, don’t you?” She rftn her hand through her curls, placed a cigaret in an ivory holder and glided across the room. She looked like a woman who is deeply troubled and must disclose something that can be disclosed only to a trusted friend. “You see I can’t be what I really am. My public wants me to be something entirely different.” Her eyes pleaded with Pete to understand. He didn’t. He knew Honey’s pictures and managed to point this out gently. • MM you don’t understand. I’m Just a little pawn to my producers. You never can tell what they are going to do, but before I left Hollywood, we had conferences —oh, so many of them—and you know big bugaboo Box Office directs us all. My producers simply won’t let me make another sophisticated picture.” "All right, Honey.” Pete smiled charmingly, and picked up his

script. “We’ll skip it. I wanted you to see it.” “I think it’s grand, Petie, and I’m sure you 11 sell it. You ought to be in Hollywood.” Pete didn't tell her what he thought of Hollywood. He said nothing, and whenever Pete said nothing Honey always found something to say, particularly if the subject had been herself. “The real reason I’m on my East is to and a play. I do wish you had another. What my producers want is to cast me in something about a little working girl.” She sighed. “It seems that the public is more interested in working girls 2384 PERSONS ON JOBS DURING WEEK State Employment Service Reports 402 City Residents Hired.

than glamorous ladies these days. Os all things, they want me to find a play about a stenographer. Something where there is a big bad boss and, and ...” MM* HONEY had more than that to say, but when she arrived at the boss part, Pete was on his feet, anew light in his eye and his hat in his hand. “Honey,” he said, “I have got another play! And it’s about a stenographer and two big bad bosses only one isn’t bad .. .” r “Two?” Honey asked. “One a Menjou and one a Gable,” he promised. “But I must see it!” Honey exclaimed. Pete was already on his way to the door. “It’s down at the office. I’ll be back it in 10 minutes. One hour and 10 minutes later Linda sat up in bed and pulled the cord on her bed-lamp. Below the bell was pealing insistently. She drew a robe over her nightgown,

thrust her feet into slippers and went to the window. ‘Who’s there?” she called. “Linda, come down and let me in. I’ve wonderful news for you,” Pete called back to her. “I’ll not come dowh, and you have nothing to say that would interest me. Good night Mr. Gardiner.” Linda shut the window with an unmistakable bang. The bell pealed again. “He’ll wake the neighbors if he keeps that up,” Linda said as she trotted down the stairs and opened the door. “In addition to being the rudest . . .” “Listen, Linda, I can explain. I’ve been with Honey Harmon all evening . . .” “I guessed that,” she said coldly. “ . . . and she’s bought the scenario.” “What scenario?” asked Linda, startled into forgetting her anger for the moment. “Yours!” (To Be Continued)
