But Martha sees him like that." Eileen said, even while she dug in her trunk, which, draped in a Spanish shawl, stood against one wall and wasn't unlike a seat if covered, they hoped, "Molly, that's so impossible. "All right. Anyway, put up the photographs. If you don't want to keep a rose under the hand somest, I'll do it myself." Eileen set them out there was no lack of them, girls and men, groups and singles. "This is he," Molly said solemnly, and thereupon dug a Woolworth spray of daisies and a small glass vase from her own possessions and set them before Jordan Estill's picture.

Eileen forgot all about it, for she was very That is, sometimes, seeing the daisies gathering dust just unde Jordan's well held chin, she laughed, diving in and out of the sunny cement walled room.

He looked so hurt when she took it away that she felt like somebody being rude to a child. The thing which was most important to her blotted everything out for a while.

The cable to Martin. She had used, flippantly, like everybody else, a phrase about being "all burned up." She knew now what it meant. She was burned up about the cable. Her palms were hot and she went from rehearsal to work in a painful state of tension and expectancy. She tried not to show it to Molly, but Molly, shrewd eyed, and herself pouncing on Eastern mails with frank excite Pattern 288 is cut in women's sizes 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48 and 50.

again. FRIDAY EVENING HARRISBURG J5a TELEGRAPH APRIL 18, 1941 was someone, something, not or dan Estill, whom Eileen waited to hear from. And there was no answer, She said to Molly finally, after a fortnight of waiting. "What hap pens when there isn't anybody to take a cable? Don't the company tell you they couldn't deliver it or something?" "If it isn't delivered." That was true. It had been de livered.

Naturally. Martin was on the boat. But he hadn wired Of course he hadn't and yet he still might So it was an Eileen with seven eighths of her mind on something far removed from singing, records, anything in the world but her own affairs, who strayed into the re cording room in response to a mes sage about one of her songs "Something important," the mes senger told her. Little Mr. Weigand was fussing with the phonograph in a corner, "I want you to listen to a couple of your own recordings, he said.

"What for?" He smiled mysteriously. "I'll tell you later, or Martha will," he said. "We're both all excited about it." She sat back. She listened. There didn't seem to be much point to hearing herself sing: "Just Awearyin' for You," and "You Are My Lucky Star." They sounded like somebody else's voice with occasional touches of familiarity.

Casanova Mr. Weigand took them off and came over to her, beaming. "We got a wire from one of the big New York studios today." He named it. Eileen sat up, all her indiffer ence gone "You know, we send them re cordings from time to time, to keep them interested. You never know.

She nodded "Well, my dear, they wire that they like to rent these two re cordings!" He beamed with innocent joy. "They do?" "Yes. I knew you'd be glad to hear it." She waited, but that was all. "But Mr. Weigand don't I get any royalty from that?" Mr.

Weigand cleared his throat. "Well now, my dear you know how we are fixed here. It takes all we have to carry the station. And Martha and I take it for granted that you young people are as interested in the cause of art as we are. We try to choose only real enthusiasts" "In other words," Eileen said ment, knew that, at least, there pay me what is less than a Designed For You Today's Patterns EASY TO EMBROIDER A MEXICAN MOTIFS PATTERN 2838 Let's all have a hand in being good neighbors and embroider these delightful Mexican motifs on our household linens.

Write plainly PATTERN NUMBER, your NAME and ADDRESS. living wage for singing over your station, on the pretext that it will lead to something more, and when it does lead to something more you hold out on me." She was suddenly furious.

He stood blinking at her in what seemed nonest surprise. "But Eileen the honor of singing here The door behind them opened quietly. "I don't know whether you know that I am staying on here, in spite of an offer to tie up with the best agent in Denver," Eileen said quietly. "You should. I told your wife about it." 'But, my dear.

We did know. We thought it was so beautiful of you. But he came nearer, looking at her with his usual timid wistfulness "we rather thought it was because you personally liked us He put an arm around her waist, and began to say gently, 'In fact, thai; you She gave the arm a quick jerk, and turned on him angrily. "Then it seems to me it ought to work both ways. I think She got no chance to go any futher.

Martha Weigand, from the door, said, "I thought so!" There was' fury in her voice. Eileen faced round on her, still not taking in the situation. "Just what did you think?" she demanded, staring at the woman's snapping black eyes and the shaking stout body in its beads and batiks. Mrs. Weigand was undoubtedly as angry as Eileen.

But Eileen was unprepared for the cause of her anger. "I thought you were staying on here because you were making a play for my husband! And you tell me after that, you little love snatcher, that I haven't a right to use you for my art? Holding his hand, coming off here alone with him" "This is idiotic as well as out rageous," Eileen said, suddenly cool. The two people were such conceited freaks. It was all gro tesque. "Your husband was trying to tell me that I hadn't any right to royalties on records of my own voice.

And when I objected, ap parently he was under the im pression that a little petting would make up for it. "You brazen little thing!" Mrs Weigand said. "Don't you suppose that I know why you came here why girls come out here? Naturally I put up with it, if they will be such fools. But beyond a certain point I protect my hus band from them. And that point's come with you." The Break It was all nearly' insane.

Eileen felt as if she was in a world standing on its head. "You mean," she said merci lessly, "that you suppose that fun ny little man is so attractive that girls my age can fall for him and that you are wujing to use it?" Spmeone else clattered in. "Eileen" Molley called. "Been looking for you everywhere. Mes sage." She waved it.

What's the matter? "The matter is, you were right and I was wrong," Eileen said "inis areacuui little old man thinks I'm crazy over him. And his wife thinks I am, too and singing here Eileen began to laugh "for love of him! "My 1 husband admitted to me that he was interested Mrs. Weigand shouted. "But you showed me you cared Mr. Weigand began, still piteously.

Moly Flanagan put an arm around her friend's waist. "Come along, kid. Same old game. It happens regularly once a season. Martha has to believe she owns the tops in glamour boys, and Weigy just sort of keeps himself and her fooled about it, I guess that's all.

Last year it was a waitress, fortunately. "Look here, Weigands Molly turned on the couple, her eyes as flaming as her hair "Don't you think you're pretty dumb to pick on your fans' pet radio singer? Not to speak of she's engaged to one of the profs in the university, and a girl with lots of backing and position? What goes on, anyhow, that you got crazy with the desert heat and didn't make it a 1 1 i I aisnwasner or even a wasn woman's child like me? Pipe down!" Mrs. Weigand, unbelievably, did pipe down. "If Eileen is engaged," she said, going back to her accustomed stateliness, "I can forgive and understand her ah girlish familiarities. We were all a little excited, dear.

Shall we forgive and forget?" She beamed kindly at Eileen. Eileen took two steps toward the pile of records on the phonograph. She picked up the record ings, and carefully threw them on the floor and stamped on them. "I certainly shan't," she said. "In fact, you will have to find somebody else for the evening song hour.

1 rSfT 1 a minute it YESTERDAY: Things are going well with Eileen Gardner, whose songs over the air are highly popular. But there are flaws Jordan Estill, whom she Just has sent away, was one. He had been determined to marry her, and it took strength to break off, because only a memory of Martin remains to replace him Martin, whose last name Eileen does not know. Now her roommate. Molly, is warning her that Mr.

Weigand, manager of the station, is a halfhearted Don Jaun. Chapter II New York Hears Eileen first stared, then laughed.

He adores BY MARHARFT WinnFMFR Check on Charm Beauty and You By PATRICIA LINDSAY It Happens to All of Us We Grow Careless About Beauty Today I must make a confession I forgot to practice what I preach and began to suffer for it! About a month ago a great rush of work and social duties came along at the same time and I took no time out for beauty.

I worked and I served, and I served and I worked, until one day I found myself on the verge of nervous tears for no reason at all. Then my secretary reprimanded me: "You are not doing what you ask your readers to do, Miss Lindsay," she said, "why don't you practice what you preach? You should relax and rest and get more exercise!" Well, you can imagine how cha grined I felt! My own words had turned into boomerangs! But it was a very good thing for I got on the phone and immediately promised the directress of a fa mous New York salon that I would report every morning at nine o'clock for a good work out. like most of you, can do better if someone stands over me with a stick! And she did! I exercised to stretch out those working aches and to help my blood rush around where it was needed. The constant sitting at! a desk or table had increased my hip measurement almost an inch so that had to come off too. Personally I get annoyed with myself if I do not keep in condition I life to feel well and strong and capable and trim.

That ole fella pride makes me toe the mark so my lapses such as the last are infrequent. My Program You readers might be interested in what I did with persistence every day for nearly three weeks. I exercised from one half hour to three quarters of an hour on a mat every morning. After that session I had a half hour body massage by hands which did not spare my feelings! Then a cool ing shower and back to my home and duties. After luncheon I pulled myself away from my many tasks and went out to walk.

If I did not have errands I invented them but I did walk from one' mile to three every day. The fresh 1 air was good for me because when I returned my energy was revitalized so I could put in a few more hours of work. During this time I ate as I al ways do most sensibly. Many salads, fresh fruits and vegetables, milk, thin broths, little meat, no rich desserts or rich food of any kind. I found I needed whole grain cereal in the morning to creat sufficient energy so I added that to my fruit juice and clear coffee.

Then I practiced saying "no' to. people. "No, I can not accept your nice invitation, I am tired and must rest." That, my dears is the most difficult part of a re conditioning program. But at times we must learn to say "no" if we hope to relax and rest! Foot note after three weeks I felt marvelous! Patricia Lindsay's "One Two Three Slimming Diet" Is again offered.

"You can't do" anything of the sort! You have a contract!" "What about the recordings?" Eileen demanded. "We'll add something to the contract for them," Mrs. Weigand begged. "Don bother. I'm going."

Combing Hair In Public Is Social Error By ANTOINETTE DONNELLY We'll never get over being astonished that a well dressed young woman with a name can haul out a comb in an expensive night spot and go to work on her hair with it. Did one on Judy O'Grady's side of the railroad tracks pre sume such an offense, wouldn't she be set down as some one to drop on the tracks for the train i to dispose of? Why, then, does la deb, even though her member jship in the cafe society permits her many liberties, why, we ask, does she feel she can haul out a comb and make great wide sweeping gesture with it? Yes'm, we are irate because within a week, we saw two of these performances. Ugly girls, we insist upon calling them, for nothing survives like that old axiom about beauty is as beauty does. And we were informed that, in one instance at least, it's an act with the young woman, premeditated and deliberate to call attention to her hair.

She'd shudder, we know, if girl without a publicized name suddenly yanked out a toothpick and went to work. Distressing as the latter sight might be, at least there's more justification for it at a supper club table than the use of a comb. There are just certain things that aren't done in public, regardless of whose little spoiled brat is doing the performing. Combing the locks tops the list. On the subject of public performance of private duties, let's add the manicuring, sometimes ob served in commuter trains.

Is that nice, girls? It isn't, in case you aren't sure. You can powder your nose and retouch tfce makeup if need be. Custom has staled objections here. But custom never will accept the hair combing exhibition. It ranks in distasteful ness along with the cough undisciplined by handkerchief.
