But ous—I no like.” The big man, with a muttered oath, had crushed the blanket over my face again.

Without tne scrap of reason I had felt cue for me lay behind the e the coop door. When there no sign, hope and feeling porarily, at least As might a person in a nightmare, I heard the rustle of hills, a gratified chuckle from Tony, a muttered word or two from the big man, and then— with George at the wheel- the big black limousine swept out of the garage and headed westward. “Tony’ll take care the Grace Draper asked, and her seemed to come from a great tance. a me the me Py fled, tem- of cap?* voice Grace Draper's Order.

BY VIRGINIA BRADFORD Hollywood, March 26.—Registra- tlon at the picture agencies and studios is your official announcement of intention to break into the movi You file your best photograph, give your name, address and phone num- ber, data on appearance, wardrobe, experience, accomplishments and what wage you're willing to work for. Then you wait, for days or weeks, within reach of the telephone. The biggest registration office in Los Angeles is the Service Burcau, maintained by the Motion Picture Di- rectore’ association. It was estab- lished X ago to relieve the individual director from having to round up at short notice, masses of people for background bits or parts, Here approximately 10,000 persons are listed on ball, with and without experience on stage and screen At any moment may come a demand for from 10 to 1,000 extras, and within a few hours the bureau telephone op- erators will have summoned the mob. The phone exchange here is said to be the busiest in Los Angeles from 4 to 7 every afternoon. Many Waiting Call. When I came to list myself, the place, an aged residence, fairly over- flowed with men and women waiting for calls—mostly men, whose gantiet of inquiring eyes I ran with a sink- ing sensation that became almost panic when I got inside the door. No one seemed to care whether I was there or not. One placard on the walls admonished me “Not to Joiter in the hall”; another warned “No one allowed on these stairs wiihe out permission” irs leading to the mysterious casting room. Both seemed to be generously disregarded, but they only added to my sense of chaos.

I would write the story in which I| might contrast the weddings of my two dearest friends. There would have to be a second volume, you know, after you have both had some years of wedded life. 1 expect you will both come to the same thing at lagt, a beautiful old age with grand- children around your knees. Your wedding, dear Sally, was fo quietly unconventional, without even new gown for the occasion. You slipped away at the noon hour and married Sam And yet, there was something very solemn, very sacred about that simple ceremony up there in the mayor's office, with just myself and the mayor's secretary for withess- es. Do you know, 1 came to the con- clusion that, after all, the ceremony of marriage is not uecessarily a re- ligious rite, If one only complies with the civil laws of one's country and truiy keeps one’s faith in love and the one loved, that is a continual religious sacrament. 1 had been wondering if this were true, and seeing you and Sam drop into your new life so . quictly and calmly, yet withal so happily, 1 al- most came to the conclusion that, arter all, yours was the right way.
