And Marie, always trying to help him, encourage him—so tre- mendously interested in him and his verses. “Of course you know,” she was now saying to him, “that Rector and Everett are really sincere in their interest in you, Henry. They have mentioned you tc me several oe ke hoping thi ” “I keep hoping they are,” Hen- ry replied. “But [ve got my fin- gers crossed.” “Silly, darling!” said Marie, Henry looked about them, feel- ing a little guilty, fee, like a smal y playing hoo! om school. For he and Marie were in @ cocktail lounge of a small West side notel. He had found it necessary to be in that neighborhood in order to examine a piece of property, and since it was late afternoon, he had called Marie on sudden impulse and asked her to meet him for a cocktail. He explained that he Marie The Helper wasn't going back to the office, but | Y° straight home to dinner, The would have time for a drink an a talk. Presently Marie went on talking. “It made me very happy,” she said, “having you call me. T like little unexpected things like that, Henry — pleasant thin, coming right out of the sky, so to speak. She took a sip of her_ cocktail, then sat down her glass, and leaned across the narrow ‘table. “There's always a place in radio for a man with ideas, and you've got them,” she said. “I know it. And I've a sneaking idea we're go- ing to have some definite devel- opments before long.” “Woman's intuition at work, I reckon,” Henry grinned. “Or just a plain old garden variety hunch!” “Never mind what it is,” said Marie. “All you need, Henry, is the opportunity to develop your ideas—to. sort of spread out.” ENRY did go up to Marie’s! try’ 3 s z 2 sie : i dee nh H as 5 8 s3 4 cal Ri id.

And I’ve gotten a good idea about radio work in general. I may stand up in front of a mike and sing, but I’ve aor my eyes and ears open. Marie’ll help you with all she’s got.” Taffy For Henry SPHATS darned sweet and gen- erous of P hey Marie. I appre- gaat too. Fceepediate ry of a competi m around here, he know.

Then; “There's just one thing that’s wo me, that’s Alma Latham’s attachment for Maleolm Rector.” “Why should that worry you?” “The job I've been telling you about is one Alma might be able to fill, and I think she's after it, And with the hold she has on Mal- colm—he’s in love with her, or I don’t know the symptoms — she may persuade him to forget ev- eryone else, and give the job to her.” Marie paimed gave Henry a searching look. “But you can still put up a fight, can’t you?” “Certainly I can,” said Henry. “That is, if [ finally decide to give up the realty business,” “Don’t tell me there are any doubts in your mind!” “As a matter of fact, there are,” said Henry. “A ied man can’t afford to gamble on his future, If T'd come here alone—I mean be- fore Luella and I were married— and found matters as they are, I'd have taken a chance. But it's dif- ferent gnce.a man marries.” He ‘iesitated a moment; took 2° drink, remembering Luella ‘and the strained something that had sprung up between them since th Rector’ party, and which had grown and owe. like a wall that was slowly but surely being built to nee “An them apart. take Luella,” he went on, “She feels Nat strongly about my giving so much time.to the songs; not that she says very much, but I sense it in the way she looks at me at times, and in the things she oesn't say,” “Oh, all married women are like that!” Marie said airily. “Lu- ella’s probably a little jealous of the way you've gone ahead in New York, while she’s lagged be- hind. But once you've gotten into radio, and are making a name for urself, to say nothing of a big salary, she'll feel differently. You owe something to yourself, any- way, Henry my dear.” aid pe ic a Henry’s now, patting it gently. “You're a man, and a mnan hes a it to make his way in the world.
