THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1941 YESTERDAY: Julie Emerson, who is an actress a little past her prime, and her young friend Eve have won some money in @n advertising contest, and Julie has insisted on investing it in @ month at an expensiue hotel on the chance that Eve can pick uP a young husband. for her- self—with money. She just has wangled an invitation out” of wealthy Mrs. Marbury, yet she hes a feeling Eve will not be too pleased. Chapter Two Party “MS. MARBURY has asked us up for cacktails tomorrow afternoon,” Julie announced with some triumph in her voice. “You see, dear, I was right about com- ing here—and pitane try to acta little less bored, won’t you, Eve? Even if you do think we're wast- ing the money, you might as well enjoy yourself while we're here.” Eve turned her head so that it rested on her arm, while she looked at her self-appointed guardian. “I thought you looked as if you had just swallowed a canary when I came in—in spite of the eye-pads. Of course I'll try to be the gay young thing, if you want me to, but for heaven's sake, Julie, let's cancel our reservation next week and go back to New York. I could still get ‘back my old job at the Sheraton Decorat- ing Shop and we'd have. some money left, anyhow.” “But we have over two thou- sand dollars lefti” Julie said with astonishment. “And of course you can’t walk into a place like this and get to know everyone within five days. We really should stay, Eve, now that we're just getting to know the right people. You'll feel better about it, too, I’m sure, when you meet Mrs. Marbury’s niece—Gina Goodell~and ber friends,” “Oh. Gina Goodell!” said Eye enigmatieally. “Don't you like her?” inquired Julie anxiously, “T probably would if I ever got the chanee,” retorted Eve. “But after all, she is the heiress to the Marbury lumber millions, In spite of your hopes, Julie, I’m just a poor working gir] and Gina and I don’t have much in common, I’m afraid.” And there was slight friction in the Marbury suite as well. “But—Aunt Heten, you won't ruin the afternoon with that— that architect, will you?” Gina Goodell’s light yoice was a wail, as she watched her aunt directing the caterer in the “bridal suite at the Ocean Park Hotel. Barber Ten Wit. From League; Manager Gina matched her voice; her blonde hair hung in softly waved jlengths around a pert, childish face that was too sharp to be pret- ty. She could, if she wished, look like an angel straying out of her celestial world, but usually, as moyed i kitten. Mrs, Marbury, owever, knew that Gina's claws could be Sharp, and she hastened to reassure her-niece. “He's not an architect, dafling he’s an expert on Early Ameri- ¢an houses; there’s quite a differs, ence.” “What difference?” “Oh, don’t be trivial, dear—” Her aunt vaguely moved a tray of canapes nearer the edge of the table. She. did hope Gina would forget her-petulance. If she actual- ly took a dislike to Brett Rodman there would be little hope of get- ting her interested in this house. As the waiter left the room, she clutched at the first straw that came to mind. “And by the way, dear—I’ve in- vited that nice Mrs. Emerson and her niece to come up. She's such a good bridge player—and inter- ested in old houses, too. We had quite a chat about it.” “You do pick up the strangest people, Aunt Helen. You’ve scarcely seen this Mrs. Emerson a dozen times. .. .” Gina’s voice wandered off, as she lit a cigarette and stuck it jn a long amber noir. 1“ ny, “Mar! ont di time to be authoritatee: aon ‘pick up people,’ Gina—and it’s dis- respectful of you to use that-tone, I knew some Emersons onte,;aut in Chicago—fine people—and I’m sure this Mrs. Emerson must be related. It seems to me the younger generation condemns everyone it doesn’t know.” _ “Darling!” Gina was all contri- tion, her blonde hair a scented cloud as she swooped down on her jaunt and kissed her soft cheek. ‘Til keep the crowd under con- trol for the sake of these cronies of yours. But the niece is such a queer duck—always dodging off and looking down her nose. It’s a nice nose too—funny she hasn’t just swarms of men around.” Hunt For Moonlight ¥2 Eve and Julie, presenting themselves at the Marbury suite at five-thirty, the hostess and her niece seemed to be in per- fect accord. Mrs. Marbury came forward instantly and drew them into a group of chattering young people, whom she introduted with vague gestures right and left. Eve instantly identified Gina; she was eurious to see what type of girl she could be She noticed with surprise that Gina was re- now, she looked merely like an a garding her with the same chal- lenging expression. It was Gina who spoke first, and held out her hand. “Hello!” “Why —hello!” Eve's. husky voice held a surprised note. Gina’s welcome had taken her entirely off Guard. The next ‘minute Gina’s arm was slipped through. hers, and Eve was turned half- away from the crowd. f “All those who want to be pre- sented—the line forms at the right,” Gina announced, hep long ‘ted-tipped fingers warding off the men nearest. “I’m not going to have this gal killed in the rush.” “Just introduee her to me, then.” A young blond giant looked down at Eve unsmilingly, but she suspected there were dim- ples. “I'll protect her.” “You're the worst of the lot!” Gina’s retort brought a ready grin, and Eve saw that, as she had thought, there was one lop- sided dimple. “But I suppose I'll have to do it. Eve, this is Neil Bowron, third, and if he even mentions moonlight, run like a oF This is Evangeline Prentice, eil.” “I like moonlight,” said Eve thoughtfully. Instantly Neil stooped, picked her up in his arms, and started for the door. “Out. of my.way,” he. com- manded Gina. “We're going to look for some moonlight.” In the ensuing hubbub, Eve foun et on-her feet bewildered, but having entirely lost her first feel- ing of strangeness. No one seemed to objett' to the little scene. The girls told her carelessly “not to mind Neil” and the men crowded na for their introductions until eil was pushed into the back- ground. One slight earnest - looking young man whose hair wes per- petually in his eyes, came up just as Eve began to look for Julie. ‘!'m Hamilton Milliard,” he said casually. “My friends call me Ham. I hope you don’t think we’re just a bunch of roughnecks.” “Not at all,” Eve managed, al- though her heart was thumping heavily. “Usually introductions are so dull, don’t you think?” “Good girl!” Ham caught Gina’s hand as she walked by and said in a stage whisper: “If I don’t propose some night—this is the reason why.” He pointed a finger at Eve. Gina’s small face was unexpec- tedly serious, “I don’t believe I'd mind,” she said slowly. “I'm afraid I’m going to like her, Ham.” Fun At Last 6 baat rest of them evidently ac- cepted Gina's pronouncement, and Eve found herself the center THE KEY WEST CITIZEN cap FELLER Rosema Corby of a laughing group that dissolved { and came together again wi parent lack of desij knew, even without i nei ing. over her shoulder, that Neil wron was always near at hand. For the first time ‘since she had eome to the hotel+indeed, for the first time inmany months—Eve began to enjoy herself. She forgot that she did not be- long, ‘that most of these eoa people—even. Neil—were a - ing ‘her on. face value.’ She en- tered into their running comment on the hotel and its lack of ex- citement, -until a question from one of the girls brought her up short. “Are you coming down _ Spring Lake next month?” she i quired. “Don’t stay at the hotel— we can put you up.” Eve caught her breath and hoped she did not look as startled as she felt. “My aunt must return to New York,” she said fumblingly. “We —we haven’t made any plans be- yond that.” Again Eve looked desperately for Julie, but she and Mrs. Mar- bury were sitting at ease in a corner, talking briskly and pay- ing no attention to the others. Eve was hoping for escape when she felt Neil’s hand on her arm, She glanced up gratefully. “The moonlight’s turned’ -off— but there’s a nice sunset’ out on the terrace,” he said in a low tone. “Maybe we could make it do. What do-you think’ Eve nodded, and strolled to the jong, open win- dows. ate Julie, happening: t6'sée them go, interrupted her -hostess’ often-r peated complaint about Mr. Rod- man’s lateness. “Who is that with Eve?” she asked with a shade of concern, The man was too handsome to be true, she told herself. Mrs. Marbury looked around, and locating them just as they stepped outside, said placidly, “Oh, that’s Neil, Neil Bowron, you know. Niece boy. I knew ‘his mother quite well at one time, but she’s lived abroad now for the last five years. She married a count, I believe. Well—at last!” Her exclamation was directed toward two men who came in at that moment and stood, obviously ill at ease, just where the maid had left them. The older man was almost bald, and his head shone almost as much as his unrimmed glasses. The other man, looking around with what Julie privately thought was a disdainful expres- sion, appeared more at ease, but defiant, as if he dared the as- sembled party to do its.worst. ry; | to thdrawn | | Here's how Ke; representatives in organized STERLING, CATES AND THE HATTERS y West’s two "SPORTS CALEND BASEBALL...
