PAGE FOUR { | HIGH TIDE. ‘YESTERDAY: Unable to meet expenses Jan decides to put Derek in a tent on the roof, and rent his room. A smartly-dressed ‘young woman. scrutinizes the “for rent” sign, Chapter 13 Rose Cornwall ‘HE woman’s tone was fretful. “T've spent hours already to- day trying to find a decent place around here. I did want to be} d closer to the Surf Club, but the rents in Santa Monica are posi- tively outrageous!” Jan preceded her inside, saying, e tram cars run up the beac! front every ten minutes or so.” “Oh, I've my own car. I only managed a membership in the Club yesterday. east,” she added, following Jan up the staircase. At the top of the stairway Jan remembered she hadn’t told Derek she intended renting his room. Well, it couldn’t be helped now. This morning she had cleaned and seeightencd the room and he had no clothes except those he wore. His razor, comb and toothbrush were in the bathroom. It was a nice room, she reflected | in satisfaction as she pushed open the door and lifted the window shades a trifle. Not large, but tastefully furnished with a blue carpet, blue-covered chairs, and a modern style walnut bed, dressing table and chest of drawers. The curtains were floor-length, white, ruffly and crisp. “How much?” the woman asked with a sigh. “It looks terribly good to me.” “Five dollars a week. I'd like a month in advance, though, if you decide to take it. We prefer hav- me aomnes fairly permanent. It’s a bother having people move in and out. The other two roomers have been here since last fall. One of them, Johnny Benton, plays trumpet in the orchestra at the Surf Club.” “And the other?” “A girl. A school teacher here.” The woman laughed, her petu- lance vanishing. “A swing musi- tian and a school teacher! And nlow me. Oh, yes, I'll take the foom and get my bags from my car. It’s in a parking lot back a few blocks. I don’t suppose you have a garage? No? Well, I didn’t expect it. Oh, my name is Rose Cornwall. Mrs. Cornwall. Don’t look so puzzled, my dear. I was laughing at the mixture of breeds you'll have with my coming. I'm @ very recent divorcée, a la Reno. Unfortunately I must choose be- tween cheap rents or cheap clothes, 80 I choose cheap rent. What shall I call you? And surely you don’t live here alone? I mean——” Jan replied with quiet dignity, “1 am Jan Merriner. My brother and I own this place together. I nearly forgot to mention we have no telephone. Scarcely anyone has ane down here.” “Then how do you manage? mean friends, business —-?” “Penny postcards, or telegrams for emergencies. There’s a public telephone at the corner drug- re.” “Tl make out. I'll not find any- ng like this for the money you ask. “Would you like me to help wi yore luggage, Mrs. Cornwall? fan asked. “We've a lack of men this afternoon.

An automatic heater is one of my luxuries.” “Wish I were as tanned as you,” the other girl envied. “Til no |doubt have a dreadful time. I al- ways do. Why I bother I don’t | know. It isn’t pardeniany, becom- ing. I suppose I’m just a sheep do- ing everything everyone else does, When do I meet your brother?” he answers. If he doesn’t answer, jhe’s busy and doesn’t wish to be disturbed.” “Sounds intriguing. Tell me moving an enormously wide bracelet set with a topaze. Jan sketched Lance very brief- ly, wondering meanwhile what his reaction to Rose would be. Rose, ‘old man men would like. “Call me if you want anything, Mrs. Cornwall,” she said pleasant- ly and went out, shutting the door. “I'll have to watch for Derek and break the news,” she thought. ‘Sun-Stroke” ee when Derek came in she was in the kitchen cooking dinner and couldn’t catch him be- fore he’d run up the stairs and burst into what he supposed to be his room. Jan arrived in time to hear him exclaim: “It must be sun-stroke! That ing in Papa Bear’s Rose opened her eyes. and laughed delightedly. “Are you the trumpet player?” “You mean the Pied Piper of Swing? No, lady, I’m a lowly fish- erman.” _Jan, knowing she must explain right here and now, stammered awkwardly: “She—she rented the pm don’t mind? I've made other ar- rangements for you.” “There, you see?” he addressed Rose. “I'm behind with my rent and I’m put out.” “Not Teally?” she asked, curi- ous, sitting up in the bed with her cloud of black hair fluffing about her animated face and down over the revealing jacket of lovely white satin lounging pajamas. “Well. I'm very modern and ex- |ceptionally broadminded, but this |Toom is rather small for two peo- ple, don’t you think? Besides, you smell dreadfully of fish!” She pinched her nose delicately. “So I do!

Say, Jan, what can I do about these clothes? They smell to high heaven of live bait and they’re actually stiff with brine.” . “Wash them,” she eit Tu give you soap, a scrubbing board, and a laundry tub.
