Eve could not ‘face her own image. The very thought of Brett provoked a wave of color that was deeper than the sunburn she had recently acquired. Having agreed with Julie so ing and ran ‘downstairs. The party was about to gather for lunch, and Mrs, Marbury, recon- | ciled to the thought that her hus- band was going to leave her to her own devices for the week, wag once more acting the hostess “T'm_ so sorry our trip turned out this way,” she apologized to the group. “But when this is over. you must all come out to the little lace Theodore and I have on ong Island.

And { wouldn’t want to be in Uncle Theodore’s shoes when we get off this island.” Neil saw Eve in to luncheon which was fairly scant. Mrs Jackson explained, with no very good grace, that meat bought for a few days’ supply wouldn't last forever, and even her staples were getting low. “That will do, Mrs. Jackson,’ said Mrs. Marbury with unex- pected firmness. “I'll discuss the meals with you later. Please serve what you have ‘prepare:l. now.” Narrow Escape ULIE, unable to resist discus- sing the theater, soon had them all laughing and forgetting their predicament, as she told stories of the great stage people she had known. At one point Gina said shrewdly: : “But, Mrs. Emerson, how did | you know so many. people op. the Stage? Did youvhave a salon’ Julie stopped short and Eve held her breath waiting for Julie’s reply. But the older woman's smile was entirely pleasant and intimate as she answered: “Tt's a long time ago, my dear, but I once did hope to do some- thing on the stage. It was quite the rage in my day to be stage- struck. Naturally, I met everyone of importance in the thertr'c+] world when I could possibly wan- gle an introduction. And when t found that the stage we» not ex<- actly my forte,” she -.ehed, ‘I dis covered that I still had a good many friends on the other side of the footlights. and I continued to see them.” Gina looked satisfied, and Eve sat back marveling again at the way Julie, simply by a shrug and a neat gesture of her lovely hands. had implied, without prevarica- uon, that she nad been only in amateur dramatics and that her stage experience was as limited as the sheltered girl of the social set was supposed to be, twenty years ago. “I can’t let her down,” Eve thought fiercely, jabbing at the bcanned salmon on’ which Mrs. Jackson had prepared as the main luncheon course. “Julie’s | a grand old trouper, and she | would neyer let anyone down if she were in this position. Besides, | T do like Neil.” She ‘glanced at him, sitting blonde and attractive at her left. and managing, in spite of his careless dress, to look as if he | had been born to attend social functions. “She’s right—I’'m just silly. But I'll get over it this afternoon.” Once she had made up her mind, Eve was almost as ner- vous and anxious as though it were her debut on the stage. She was so excited that she scarcely realized it when Brett asked her if she wanted to continue their explorations of the island. She was watching Neil as he playec | with Lordy Mac and ‘thinking that his boyishness and carefree manner were as charming as any she had ever known. “No—no thank you,” she an- swered Brett, hardly hearing what he had said. “I’m—I'’m go- ing to stay around here this after- noon. ... Brett, following her glance, grumbled some sort of reply. which Gina interrupted with a je ay laugh. Fehere are other fish in the sea, Mr. Rodman. I'd be delighted to. explore the island some more with vou. When do we start?” ” But Brett” was surly again. “Miss Prentice is right,” he ‘said sharply. “We ought to stay around here this afternoon.” He stalked off, looking far from soothed by his own words. ‘champions to all Pepper’s City Champion Plumb- ‘ers will stage their three-times postponed diamondball tilt with | the city loop’s All-Stars tomor. jrow night, Roy Hamlin, mana | ger of the Plumbers, announced today. - Diamondball teams of the! league are expected to. renew | league play as soon as the Star game. is played.

NO. 1,000 (Ry Associated Press) NEW YORK, July 10.—Joe DiMaggio made hit No. 1,000 quicker than any previous major league swatter. He reached the thousand mark a short while ago, after finishing last year with a to- tal of 970 hits. Neither Ty Cobb, who is the all-time leader with 4,191 hits, nor Al Simmons, who with 2,894 has more hits than any other player now in the majors, got their thousandth hit in as few games as did DiMaggio, although both passed that mark during their sixth season as did Di- Maggio.
