Nancy Hall, spoiled and bored, is flattered by his but cannot forgo! Drew Warner. Mrs. Hall would like Nancy to encourage wealthy Frank Edgar. Edgar, however, seems more interested in the other daughter, Emily, a Visting Nurse Intent on her job. He takes her to lunch.

NOTHING SERIOUS CHAPTER The Lobster Pot was a ramshackle shack at the end of a long wharf. Inside it was clean and polished and simple. Hough wooden tables, paper napkins, shells for ash trays and sti- ffh sea food. Frank was talking about New York, where he'd spent some time before coming home. The plays he'd seen, the people he'd met.

Emily stirred her coffee and listened idly. It was all very far removed from her world. He asked, once, "You really like your work?" "Very much." "You must, or you wouldn't do it," he mused. "Hard to think of into the kind of houses He shrugged, with your days in dirt and disease "It's not all dirt," she said, "you don't understand the work, do you? We go into a great many very nice homes, Frank in which the people can't afford to pay for trained or practical nurses, or if they have afforded them for a time we take over where they leave after they ve gone and there's no longer need for twenty-four or even twelve-hour duty. These people pay us, you know, which enables us to take care of the people who can't pay." "Oh, sure, I understand.

But don't have any good times, don't have any fun," he insisted, looking at her, the clean line of chin and cheek, the dark hair, a little tumbled. said, laughing, Ir'I have plenty. Are you afraid OT catching something? Because 1 did a very good scrub up before we sat down at the table." "Don't be silly," he said shortly. He added, Well, perhaps I am afraid oi He halted, his eyes warned her, but she persisted, nevertheless. "Cold," he said, grinning.

"Ice cold. you "This," said Emily, severely, "is a pretty idiotic conversation." "It's important," he assured her, "you're just afraid of it, you don't know where it's leading or, if you do, you're scared. Nancy would know all the answers. You're out of practice. Tell me, what are my chances?" She opened her mouth ana Frank said quickly, "Close it.

Don't repeat after me like a darling parrot. You know what I mean. Any rivals, or, how arc you off for hoy friends? The dark amber eyes were amused. She said gravely, "Let me sec. There's Mike." "Mike who?" "Simkins.

He's 8 and a darling." "Come out of the She capitulated, shook her head, "Nary a one, Grandpa," she said I solemnly. He said, "You're kidding." 1 "No. Perhaps," she added, "I haven't had time." He said, incredulous, "You've lived here all your life, you've been to college and had your hospital training and you can sit there and tell me "Well, nothing serious," she said. "I don't believe it." Emily thought the Harvard boy who had been her roommate's was a time, six months of feverish excitement, expectancy, letters, telegrams, telephone calls. The assistant professor of English in her senior year.

He had wanted to marry her. She hadn't been in love with him. The fleetly if Jim ever heard from him, (hey had been good friends at the hospital. She had thought herseli in love with him for about two months. That hadn't lasted either.

She shook her head, again. No, nothing serious. Except Jim. But that was absurd, she knew Jim, she liked him, she had been glad to see him again. Thcre'd been nothing between them at the hospital, nothing at all.

The few times they'd gone out together they'd talked hospital all the time, between dances. They liked and respected one another. And she'd been glad when he came to Cranberry, when he suddenly turned up again, and became closely associated with her life. Why not, it was much more fun seeing Jim everyday than if he'd been some utter stranger. Besides, Jim and Nancy She looked at her watch.

"Sorry, time I moved along," she said. Frank beckoned the waiter, paid the check, overtipped. He said, "Tomorrow night, then. And where can I take you now?" "I'll have to get my calls first." She gathered her things together, said, rising, "Don't wait, Frank, please, and thanks, it's been fun," and went toward the telephone booth. The rest of the afternoon was routine, a sunburn case, two mild cases of flu, a convalescent.

She called the office in the middle of the afternoon and Miss Ansing reported that Doctor Thompson wished a nurse to go to 18 Cedar Court, at once, if possible. Emily said cheerfully, "I'm through, I finished early, there's lot of time." She repeated the name and address and left the drug store telephone booth. Waiting for the trolley she thought, "Doctor Thompson why that's Jim!" (To Be Continued) Keep Tell-Tale Age Lines Away From Neck Area MISS O'HARA: Lovely. By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer Lt. Coggins Claims Bride Vfn Jacksonville, Flordia Hold that one from your throat to your chin.

It is the area which reveals your sgc first. Especially after you've passed your thirtieth year. Muscles then begin to sag, flesh becomes creepy and lined, and rray even take on a grayish cast. Screen stars know the urgency of daily care of the throat and give it very bit as much attention as their face. Maureen O'Hara's beautiful throatline fairly shouts constant care and yours, too, will look years younger if vou give it a thrice-weekly builder-upper similar to the one film beauties pursue.

It's as simple as this Cleanse your face and neck, dip a clean face cloth in water as hot as you can stand, wring it out and wrap it around your throat. Repeat four times. Then apply a rich, nourishing neck cream and smooth over it a few diops of throat oil and allow them to remain on for 20 minutes. Remove excess with soft tissue and pat on extra strength astringent from the base of the throat to chinline. Events THURSDAY 7:00 P.
