Chapter One WO HEARTS!” Julie Holt Emerson glanced down at her cards and sighed impatiently. In the last hour of bridge she had al- ready learned that her part- ner, Mrs, Selby - Williams, would bid just for the fun of it— and yet be hurt when Julie failed to support her. She regarded Mrs. Selby-Wil- liams’ hands across the table, still sorting the cards, and sighed again with distaste. Why did dia- monds always look vulgar on pudgy hands? She was glad her own hands—once called “the most expressive on the American stage”—had retained their slen- derness. She glanced toward Mrs. Mar- bury, on her right. Mrs, Marbury, too, was plump, but her softness was the appealing kind, Julie thought. Even though it was an effort to smile when Mrs, Mar- bury said again, as usual: “I think hearts’is such a nice suit—sort of romantic. I just won’t bid spades, although I probably could. But they're such ugly things. ...” “Talking across the table!” The woman at Julie's left, thin and mousey-looking—“unimpor- tant,” Julie had immediately la- beled her—was plainly irritated by this t; of bridge. But she had arrived only that afternoon at the Ocean Park Hotel and would, Julie thought, leave the next day. She had already complained bit- terly of the “cobble-stone beach,” the impossible food and terrible service. By motning she would have enough complaints to justify breaking her reservation. Privately, Julie Emerson agreed with everything she said. But she had chosen this hotel for the in- tangible benefits it could bring to herself and her protege, Evange- line Prentice. What did poor service matter, if you were served in the same room as Mrs. Theodore Marbury and her niece? Who cared about the beach, if, on the bridle path, Eve might bump into an eligible young man? She had been in far more uncomfortable hotels, Julie thought sturdily, although not, she remembered with a shudder, at thirty dollars a day! “Oh, Mrs, Marbury—did you see that little gold heart Eve bas on her charm bracelet?” Julie felt the thin woman at her left squirm impatiently and permitted her glance to rest on her just a mo- ment. The woman wilted, and Julie went on, hinting rather broadly that the golden heart ‘was the itt of a rejected suitor. She could do this thing to per- NEGROES MUST BE SEPARATED MAY ENTER UNIVERSITY BUT MUST BE SEGRE- GATED A Sinister Mvsterv Takes A Hand In Romance. A Century-Old Tragegy Remakes The Lives Of Eight On An Island fection, Julie was saying to her- self with inward satisfaction. Not for nothing had she played dow- agers on every stage in America. But she knew when to call a halt and give the game a chance. With infinite tact, she led her partner away from hearts and in- to diamonds, Her bid gave the dour woman a chance to set her five hundred points and Julie took Mrs. Selby-Williams’ heavy sar- casm with a good grace. During the next hand, however, she managed to lead Mrs. Mar- bury. on to talking about her niece, As she had hoped, the thin woman got up suddenly, and, with a hastily murmured excuse, fled from the room. Julie laid down her cards with p’easure. “I know you dislike three- | ‘HERRING LASSIES’ | salting handed bridge, and there doesn’t seem to be anyone who isn’t al- ready playing,” she said with sat- isfaction, as she glanced around the room. More bridge did not suit her purpose at the moment; she wanted to talk with Mrs. Mar- bury. “1 believe you told us you ‘wanted to get back to your room early,” Julie added to Mrs. Selby- Williams. That lady looked at her dia- mond-studded wrist watch with an exclamation of surprise. “Why, it’s much later than I thought. My husband said he wanted to have dinner early to- night, and perhaps I have time for just a short nap—” Her voice trailed away as she hoisted her plump body from the low bridge chair and ambled slowly out of the room. First Success A tend regarded her going with scornful eyes. Her own stage training had had its difficult mo- ments, but at least, she thought with sudden gratitude, she had learned how, to enter and leave a room without waddling. “We haven’t seen much of your Eve.” Mrs. Marbury looked at Julie with an “= cans that was suddenly shrewd. “Well, these young things, you know—” Julie’s expressive hands excused youth's shortcomings. “T’m afraid Eve is just a little up- set right now. Not a serious love affair, of course, but if I hadn’t dragged her away when I did—” |}, Mrs, Marbury’s romantic nature was touched, as Julie had fore- seen. Nevertheless Julie glanced hastily over her shoulder to make sure that Eve had not come in un- expectedly and overheard any part of it. Eve was being difficult, it was true, but Julie’s explanation was born of impulse and Eve would probably have denied it at once if she had heard it. There was no sign of Julie's tall, dark-haired protege, however, and Mrs. Mar- TURN TO WAR JOBS (By Associated Press) the catch during each bury accepted the suggestion of a broken romance with alacrity. “Never mind, my dear, she'll thank you for this later on. Gina too—that’s my niece, you know— has had her little flirtations, but I always think that if you can keep young folks amused and in- terested they keep out of mischief so much better. That’s really why T’'m trying to persuade Mr. Mar- bury to let me buy.an old country place on an island, if we can get one like that. I would prefer to have it quite rundown, you know, and let Gina help me redecorate it. I think it would bring out her homemaking instinct. But of course”—she laughed, with an in- timacy that delighted Julie—“I wouldn’t let her know that for the world. All she thinks of now is parties and tennis and horse- back riding—you know how it is.” “But how perfectly clever of you!” Julie broke in.admiringly. “I wish I'd thought of doing that for Eve, You know she really has a little talent for interior dec- oration. But of course”—Julie shook her head—“my income is not what it was.” Mrs. Marbury, once on the sub- ject, bubbled on about this search of hers for just the right type of house. She recounted her disap- pointments in looking at places said to have been built long ago, adding, “Of course, I’m no au- thority on the subject, but even I could see they’d been built as late as 1830.” “But how old do you want this house to be?” Julie inquired, a little puzzled. She wouldn’t consider anything later than Revolutionary times, Mrs, Marbury explained. It was a period of American architecture that was particularly appealing, she thought. “Besides,” she went on, “these really old places should be preserved as a record of our nation,” Anyway, now she had engaged @ young man who knew every- thing about Early American arch- itecture, and he was conducting the search for her. His name was Brett Rodman and she had heard only the day before that he'd found what he believed to be just the house. Julie tried to keep her attention from wandering. Old houses! For t, she liked a good hotel. irs. Marbury and her niece seemed to be the social center of the summer colony at Ocean Park and Julie had grimly determined that they should serve to intro- duce herself and Eve to everyone worthwhile. So far, Mrs. Marbury had done nothing to further this ambition beyond an occasional afternoon of bridge in which Eve refused to join them. Really, Julie thought, not for the first time. Eve was be- ing too difficult, “I have some good news for you, dear,” Julie said. —"and we're going to have Mr. Rodman come over tomorrow af- ternoon to tell us about it,” Mrs. Marbury was saying. “Since you're so interested in old houses, why don’t you and your niece drop in to our suite about five o'clock? Gina will probably have the place packed with her crowd and we won't be able to hear any- thing, but you and I can talk to Mr. Rodman in some corner.” For a moment Julie was almost caught off-guard. The invitation she had been angling for! Telling Eve ‘V HY we'd love to!” she said, eagerly, too eagerly. “That is," she added with more of her old caution, “if I can persuade Eve to stop moping for a few hours. It’s very kind of you to ask us,” she went on, with just the right note conveying a tacit un- derstanding between them. “I'm sure if Eve could meet some new young people she would get over this—this infatuation much sooner. Yet one has to be so care- ful in an hotel—” Again Julie’s hands expressed her thought for her. Mrs. Marbury immediately caught the inflection. Julie wanted to get up and run from the table, so that she might tell Eve at once how successfully | barely glanced at the apparition her plans were working out. But she forced herself to sit quietly while Mrs. Marbury went on de- scribing the hazards of having too much money. She felt her smile getting stiff as she agreed for the hundredth time that one couldn’t be too careful nowadays. At last the other bridge players began to drift away, and Mrs. Marbury re- called that she had promised to have dinner with some friends. Julie went to the elevator with a sigh of relief. When Julie reached the room she and Evangeline Prentice had taken for the month she found it deserted. She settled down before the dressing table of imitation ma- hogany and picked up a rubber, spoon-shaped instrument with which she proceeded to spank vigorously the slightly fleshy line under her chin. The sound of the door opening cut across her wandering thoughts. “Is that you, dear?” she asked, turning her face toward the sound. Pads steeped in ice water covered her eyes. Her appearance would have startled anyone less accustomed to the sight than the tall dusky-haired girl who was crossing the room with a swing- ing grace.

Julie heard the creak of ile springs as Eve threw hersclf across one of the twin beds. Since Julie Holt Emerson had appeared in Eve's life after hor mother’s death, the actress had been a good friend, Eve had to admit. _ But Julie could be difficult at times, too. This idea of hers about marrying well, for instance, was one of the most trying for Eve to endure. Didn’t Julie know that love could not be beckoned at will? The few thousand dollars they had won with that funny lit- tle soap contest jingle were melt- ing rapidly in this expensive and uninteresting hotel. If only J ‘ie had let her do what she wanted: open her own decorating shop and at least try to make some provi- sion for the future. Julie iemoved her eye-pads and sat back for a moment contem- plating the girl's long figure, graceful even as it sprawled on the white counterpane. “I have some good news for Daily Vacation Bible School as been in progress at the First you, dear,” she said.
