THURSDAY, APRIL 29, Chapter 22 Kiss For A Role "THE moon had evidently decid- ed to be as generous as the} weather man, and soon it was high above the trees that sur- rounded the pond. Its soft radi- ance turned the pond into a sheet of quick-silver, And gliding over this silvery surface moved three! canoes. Joe Neely, in one of them: with Daisy, Doran, felt. strangely philo- sophical. He kept thinking of the six ple in the three canoes as. mef® human ‘atoms driving upon life's: deceptive surface. Where would ‘they all be this time next year? : Would Kathleen. have attained her goal? Would Daisy Doran be in a Broadway play and_her father in a “cure”? Would Paul Pennell be in Hollywood—a place to which he referred with in-| creasing monotony? ¢ j Would Fred DeMille be direct- | ing another group of players in another reconstructed barn? Would Ruby Howard be starring| in a play? And would he be the authSr of that play? Six uncertain people on life’s troubled sea! (It sounded almost like a poem.)

He wished Daisy hadn't called his attention to the other couple, Paul was not paddling now. He was sitting be- side Kathleen. The canoe was tak. ing care of itself. His frown deep- ened. when he saw Paul’s arms go about Kathleen’s waist, saw him draw her closer—closer— “I hope they remember they're in a canoe,” he said. “So do I,” said Daisy. “One feel; so foolish being dumped out in the middle of a lake or a pond.” “Are you speaking from experi- ence?” said Joe. “Yes, Joe, honey, I am,” she ac- knowledged. “Last summer a local Romeo tried to make love to me ih'a canoe—and did I get} wet!” | “Him, too, I suppose,” said Joe. | “He looked too silly for words!” | said Daisy. “And his enthusiasm | for romance was certainly damp- | ened for the time being.” i Kid Thoughts } Bl en resumed his padding.
