But for perfect color balance, we need to know not:only how much light there is rebut what colors are in it »«White light, of course, is not Feally white. it is mixture of many ¢olors. The Swiss color meter is a thin instrument of two cells; one reads the red balance of light; the other teads the blue, a resistance net- work then adjusts the two read- ings. At the same time, Ansco h. announced a new color dupiicat- ing film. It’s a reversal type and requires the usual facilities for developing that are required for color film generally During the stifling summer, a} new type of fan may come. in| bendy to keep the dark: room us- | able.

The vein was self-pitying, naive; | there were pussages.that hinted brutality, others that. struck a tone of horror an¢ joathing. Here and there, Jigger was able to piece a veil and identify Matthew Hunter, Willie, Aunt Penny. “The lady was prolific,” Jigger said finally pushing the pile of manuscripts from him, He stared lay superfluous— He already had a yersonality portrait. of Susan unter, What he needed now, was something that wonid provide @ bridge from Arents to 96.Charlton Street: . something ‘that would move the chronology forward. digger turned to 'Scott’suddenly, as if a blindfold had dropped, freeing his vision. “Professor, you know the chronology of these writings, Find me those that were submitted after the piece about Arents: those exercises that were her very last;.writings that might bring her biography up to the time of murder.” ' Scott fumbled through the pile, extracting some sheets and pass- ing them to Jigger. “T believe thai is all.” There were sheets.

The sixth jessay declined from the giddy level of the others, like a discord in a symphdhy. Here was fear, the recoiling from the less than perfect, the anguish of abandon- ment. ‘Susan Hunter had found ther love after’ Arents, a truer it to a. window quict- a‘ si out ‘over a@ court- “ard, Scott's cough was a pin dropping in vast spaces; he jerked | te@ realization of Scott at his el- Daw. “You were moved,” Scott said “She ran from Arents, itito an-} other love affair,” Jigge: said. “That’s pretty clear from those scripts.” Scott nodded, and Jigger said, | “Overboard, head over heels.

Jigger | looked at Scott curiously, Funny little man, he thought; funny if Scoit lived secretly in some lyri- | cal. dream-world. What did hap- pen to staid little people grown ; old? How much of the fervor and the fever died, and how much re- | mained in hiding? “Anyhow, there was.a_loyer.

He had to be the antithesis of Arents, and an an- chorage; as strong a man as she was weak a woman. Scott said, “Could such a man, if he exists, murder her?” After a long interval, Jigger said, “I'll have to duck answering that question, Professor.” A KNOT of pedestrians passed, and Red was visible in the joorway one building away from a Petite Bake Shop.
