COME ON, KID, \AIEI GOTTA GIT ouT AN DO OUR ROAD WORK! TP I SYNOPSES: Barbara's early morning vigil at Rita’s apart- ment ends in a wicked misun- derstanding. Ten minutes after she departs, determined to di- vorce her husband, Ray leaves the apartment building. Dis- traught and oppressed by Ray’s seeming ; infidelity, Barbara re- ttirns home. She is awakened ffom : tormented sleep by her télephone bell. Her uncle, Van- daveer Landon is calling. Short- Iy afterwards he arrives with startling news—the revelation that Henderson has been bor- rowing money on the strength of his prospective marriage to Barbara. This discovery ends the relation between them, and Henderson sails ‘for home. A few weeks later Barbara reads the announcement of his en- gagement to Cora Maidstone. Chapter 36 A .CORNER TABLE One . particular night, about days after her dismissal of Hen- derson, Barbara found herself alone in her apartment. She had been féeling very blue since dinner, lying oh the couch, books and magazines in great array around her, but there wasn’t one on which she found her- self able to concentrate. Perhaps this was because the inevitable love theme made her at the same time both wistful and angry. “It's all absurd,” she cried aloud in resentment as she came to the enid of one story. “Stupid, clap- thap fiction, written so as to throw a rose hue over ‘life that doesn't exfst. Men faithful—blah! They can't remain true to one woman, ohice she's out of their sight, for 10 minutes.” A clock struck ten. She stretch- od herself lazily. Hours before she need go to bed. « Anyhow, she was slecping badly and the prospect of long, weary hours of wakefulness appalled her. Gradually, as she 1y there, she became consgious of strong desire to see Ray again, just to sec him if only for a few min- utes. 8he didn't quite know when the idea of going to the Golden Dollar club came into her head, but, once it had, it took @ firm hold of her. Why shouldn't she go? The Club was open to the public and, this Béing Monday night, it was uniike- 1y that she would run across any of Her set. Anyhow, just to drop in for a few minutes could do no pos- sible harm. She wanted to see 3ay—desperately ! f course, she wasn't weakening in her decision to divorce him. That Henderson had been discredited in her eyes made no difference.’ She m seen Ray in the girl's apart- ment at an hour when the inference he drew was a natural one. no time Barbara found herself sitting tense and straight in a taxicab, rattling down Fifth ave- nue towards the Golden Dollar club. ir progress was slow. To Bar- , afever with impatience to be yere now that she had definitely fecided upon going, it seemed that %:'y obstacle possible cropped up ‘hamper their speed. ,Perhlps she was afraid that should they linger she would lose 'bgfr nerve. That she might, seem- ed fairly evident, for, when finally the brilliant, twinkling sign of the Golden Dollar club blinked at her from across the street, she made the driver go round the block once more before she had sufficient cour- age to pay him and run across the pavement into the arched doorway. Down the steps she ran, quickly, breathlessly, colliding with the man- ager, a distinguished, sauve-looking man who might have graced the diplomatic service had there not been more money in night clubs. “you have a table reserved?” he inquired deferentially. _Barbara shook her head. She beginning to feel slightly fool- ish under his polite scrutiny. . “You are perhaps going to Jjoin friends?” . “No,” said Barbara. Then, with 8, show of impatience, “I want a single table, as secluded as possi- " ble” sutterwards she congratulated her- upon carrying it off with a very Y nan. perceptible second longer his ce lingered upon her, taking in rich ermine-lined opera cloak, beaded sapphire gown that it, the several fine, rings that adorned POLLY AND HER PALS “Certainly, Come this way, ma- dam.” He seated her in a little booth near the door, from which she was able to see much without being seen. By craning her neck a little jaround the side, she had a clear view of the orchestra, the gay and ‘mpudent clowns of jazz known as he Golden Symphony Eight. | A few seconds it was before she | rould bring herself to look directly it Ray, although he was easily dis- inguished towering, as he did, ibove the other members of the | band. At sight of him she felt a g sick feeling inside her. She had to blink very hard to keep the tears out of her eyes. The waiter, a swarthy, handsome youth from sunny Italy, was speak- ing as he presented the menu. “Madame, she expect some one.” “No—no.” Looking up, she saw, or thought she sa a look of pity pass over ‘he waiter's face. Then she laughed silently and mirthlessly at herself. It must seem a little strange to see 1 girl of her type come alone to such a club. She ordered a lobster salad. When she waiter had gone she sat star- ng fixedly at the table. One mo- ment she wanted immediately to ‘eave the club and never, never set foot in it again. The next, to rush toward the orchestra and force Ray to notice her—just as she had forced him to notice her that first night on board the Vendena. She fidgeted ‘with "a knife, spinning it around in circles, dropping it final- ly ‘'upon the floor. Then she bn-{ gan nervously to crumiple her foll | |into a little, white-brown speckled mound. “I "hear the saxophonist in your | jazz band is quite a composer,” she remarked presently as the waiter swept the crumbs away with a nap- kin. “Madame, 'e ees wonderful!” The . man was all enthusiasm. “Ze pat- rens adore him:''E make ze music 50 gey cannot help but dance. Zum nights you shood hear ze applause.” Parbara ‘was suddenly uncom- monly interested in her plate. She kept her face lowered towards it, conscious that she had flushed a bright scarlet. Absurd—but at the| man’s word she had been aware of a sensation that she might have| described as pride. The manager' was announcing | Miss Rita Gilmore. As Barbara heard that name she seemed to| freeze all over. She sat motionless | as the room darkened, her eyes | fixed to where a changing spot-' light made a colored ribband fromi the platform across the dancing | floor. | | Down the pathway of light came Rita, her personality compelling in-| stant attention, her beauty catching | cvery eye. Barbara, seeing her at close range, | sat amazed. Certainly here was not the type of girl she had expected! She had | | thought to find her hard of face.| }But there could be no denying the JI’resh. sweet quality, the look that {shone in Rita’'s countenance. Bar- bara watching her through her song |and dance, found it impossible to| | believe her bad. It was reluctant- ly brought home to her that this| ’mrl might be sincerely in love with | Ray. But, even granting that, why had Ray turned from her, Barbara, to this singer? She puzzled over it as, miserably, she tried to swallow her salad. In the end it was the waiter who unconsciously gave her the key to the puzzle. | She had remarked to him casu-| |ally, as he refilled her glass with| |iced water: “That girl sings and| | dances exceptionally well.” “But, yes,” he assured her. “Mees | Gilmore is ze finished artiste. It is| | she who made ze songs of Mr. Low- | ther, our saxophonist, so populaire. |She sings them, often.” | *So that was it. Barbara almost | choked over her mouthful of lobster. A mutual interest had brought them together. It hurt her, that. (Copyright, Dial Press) | Barbara comes to a reluctant conclusion in Monday’s chap- | ter.
