FOLLY and FAREWELL S

REGIN HERE TODAY Linda Bourne, 20 years old, pretty, is left almost penniless by tbs eadden death of her father. Peter Gardiner, newspaper reporter, j helps her get a Job writing society news. Linda is In lore with Di* Carter, but be goes abroad to study singing. When Peter asks Linda to marry him she agrees, but postpones the wedding. Honey Harmon, film star, comes to Newtown, making a "personal appear* anee" tour. She buys a scenario written by Linda. Later Linda goes to Hollywood and, by expressing ideas that are really Peter's acquires a reputation for being able to discover new stars. Soon she is a celebrity. At a party glren by Honey Harmon, Linda meets Basil Thorne, director. Attracted by him at flrst she later avoids him. Prom an extra girl, Linda hears that Dlx Carter is In Hollywood. She asks him to come to see her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FIFTEEN LINDA said, “Tell me about yourself.” She sat down, but not at her desk—because she didn’t want him to think of her as an executive when he was an extra. She had been a little afraid that somehow he would look like those eager, too smartly and not well-enough-dressed young men who fluttered about her in the studio. She needn’t have worried about Dix. He looked no different to her after these two years than he had the June night he ha* left, asking her to wait for him. He didn’t look any older, or in the least shabby. He wore his tweeds with the same casual air of grandeur. His collar was low, his hair a little longer, but she supposed that was what musicians went in for. ”1 haven’t any success story like you," Dix started. "But I’ve had a grand time. Rome, until that got to be a bore, and then London. For a while I thought I’d study for the Met but I had a chance to do a musical play. Played second lead.” "And then?” Linda asked eagerly, trying to reconstruct all that had happened to him in the time that she had dreamed of him, waking and sleeping, and had heard so little. He shrugged his shoulders. “Show business isn't very steady. Our show closed after three months and I drifted. Sang for a gramophone company, studied a bit and made a couple of English pictures.”

SHE was so eager to help him, to find something to pin to. “Were the pictures fun? Did you sing the leading role?” “Not much,” he answered her first question. “And I didn’t sing the lead, as a matter of fact. An American doesn't in English pictures. Those chappies are pretty loyal-to-their-own, and all that. I had some offers to do leads, but I don’t think they know anything about making pictures. Hollywood is the only place to get into big time.” "How long have you been here?” Linda waited for the answer, knowing that, if he said he had been there for weeks, she would tell herself that he didn't know that she was there. Or that, if he had known it. he hadn’t telephoned for fear she would think he wanted help. “About three months. Ran into Charley Sage. Remember Charley?” Linda did remember Charley. “He told me you were a big shot. I wanted to see you, Linda. I wanted to terribly, but I felt that . . . well I had no right to.” “But you did have, Dix.” That was all Linda said. an u THAT night they dined at her apartment. Afterward they rode out in Linda’s car, driving over the road toward San Bernardino where the moon shone through the trees and the heady scent of the orange groves bordering the road was intoxicating in the dampness, and the smooth ribbon of road was skimmed as though they were without motion.

"Sing to me,” she said, slipping farther down in the seat beside him where her nose could touch the rough sleeve of his coat. They sang together, all the songs they had sung back in Newtown, popular songs played at the dances they had gone to together, football songs they had boomed long ago, and operatic arias neither of them knew at all. Saturday night, in a little white chiffon rag splashed with brilliants that shone like the matching stars i in her dark hair fit had cost s3oo}, : Linda danced in Dix's arms. Dancing every dance at the Mayj fair dance at the Coconut Grove. Driving back, they parked beneath ; the stars and Dix held her in his | arms, whispering the things she had I waited so long to hear. | They had dates and dates. They i went everywhere and Linda had to think up pleasant little lies to tell Dix how she had come by tickets. She suspected that he had no money and was unwilling to let him spend what little he had on her. She had j plenty, and she loved him. When they were married and Dix was famous, she would give up her joa Meanwhile they must have fun. She remembered, without bitterness, that brief time when her father had died and Dix had drawn himself awav from her. She was determined that would not happen again. Fortunately there was a let-up in her work. The studio was anxious. for Linda to write the script of a picture bought for Lilli Lethe, and the book rights had not been cleared up.

W’HEN she wasn’t seeing Dix, Linda was usually on a buying spree. She bought heavenly clothes. She had a sable scarf, a silver fox, a tiny coat of ermine. Then, in a frenzy of happiness, she had her apartment redecorated by Markell, Hollywood’s most expensive decorator. She had her hair cut in Victorian bangs. She did everything she could think of to make her outward self over into something she had never been because her inward self was so happy. Dix’ footfall on the floor before he opened the door, his voice, breaking into song unexpectedly, his sudden laugh, a quick gesture as he turned his head. The ever-new thrill of having him kiss her, fold his arms tightly about her. These were the things that made her feel alive, taught her to be exultant and sweetened her nights with dreams. She forgot everything in the past. She had never had any one to pour out her love upon before, she told herself. Pete? No, Pete had loved her. One gives and one receives. Pete wanted her to receive. If that was what she wanted, she had it to its full measure. Dix liked to receive with grace. He refused to accept Linda’s help to get him a job. She loved him for it and added nobility to his virtues. But she did try to help him. She took him everywhere. She gave parties, and invited stars, producers, directors, assistants—anyone she thought could help him. She made him sing. She made him study. She turned deaf ears to what she heard about herself and her attachment to him. She met embarrassments with calm dignity. She was doing it for Dix. She would show them that her faith was not misplaced. Dix loved her and he would make good for her sake. For his own primarily, she knew in her heart, but wasn’t that the way with men since time began? nun SHE saw no flaw in him, no mistakes in her own feeling for him. She was not the first woman in Hollywood to use her power to help a talented man. She was glad that she had been able to get a small part for the little extra who had told her about Dix. But time went on and Dix was getting nowhere. He came to her,

at last, and told her he was going back to extra work. "I don't want you to do that, darling. If it were a part—even a small one—it would be worth something, but, as an extra, your face will get to be known by the directors and you won’t get out of that rut.” Then, very casually, "If you need money until something comes along I could loan you some.” He kissed her hands. "I don’t need money, honey. Only I'm getting tired of waiting around. If something doesn’t break, I think I’ll go back to New York and try radio.” “Oh, no, you can't go back to New York!” How could she let him go? "You've been wonderful, dragging me out to show, but I don’t seem to get over. The one man I want to meet is Basil Thorne. He’s the only one making musicals worth trying for.” Linda didn’t say anything then. “I’ve been trying to meet him, but he’s inaccessible.” He waited for a moment. “You know him, don’t you?” “Yes,” she said shortly. “But I’m afraid I can’t do anything for you there.” Dix sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. Wisely he said nothing for a few minutes that -earned like hours. "Look here, couldn't you just ask him in for a t'xik^ail—for me?” “ T aid not.” Linda didn’t look at him while she lit her cigaret. But when he had gone she picked up the telephone book—the little private one in which she had jotted down Thorne’s number the night she had gone to dine with him. She found the number and, hoping he would not be in, dialed it. “Hello,” she said. “I think I’ve punished you long enough. • Would you still like to see me?” (To Be Continued)

JOB INSURANCE LAW UNSOUND, CLUBJS TOLD Phase of Security Act Will Defeat Its Own End, Accountant Says. The unemployment phase of the Federal Social Security Act, designed to stabilize employment, ultimately must defeat its own end, Harry Boggs, Indianapolis accountant, told Exchange Club members today. Under the present act, taxes to the government from employers will accumulate a reserve by 1950 of between 40 and 50 billions of dollars, more than the total indebtedness of the government, he said. This reserve must be invested in government bonds and will have inflationary effect, he said. “In order to collect the bonds for the investment of such potential sums, the government will be forced to call the government issues in from the banks and insurance companies, thus upsetting the cour.try’s credit and defeating the purpose of the act to stabilize employment conditions.” Act Called Unsound Mr. Boggs pointed out that in this light the security act is fundamentally unsound economically. “There also has been considerable criticism,” he said, “because such large funds in the treasury could be misused by a fllighty administration.” Mr. Boggs said that he did not believe that the Federal act would be changed for some time. In view of that, he said, states without unemployment insurance laws should realize that they will be contributing to the Federal government without reaping any benefits. Mr. Boggs asserted that the credit feature of the Federal act was good.
