After he was graduated from high school, he went to New York to study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. After appearing in a number of small productions, he went to Portland, Me, where he spent a season with a stock company. This experience proved valuable to the young actor, who played a large variety of roles in the Maine metropolis.

He hails from New Britain, where his father, Charles P. Quigley, 410 Stanley st, is sales manager of a hardware concern. His uncle, George Quigley, was Mayor of New Britain for 10 years.

Even the most ghoulish should find sympathy for a declarer who, on a reasonably sound three no trump bid, failed to take a single trick.

Granted that it was aggressive, the freak holding and the apparent assurance of at least eight tricks, make this bid extremely tempting. Certainly, South could not anticipate a calamity and, even when dcubled by West, he should not be severely censured for sticking to his guns. Wicked West The villain of the plot was West, who failed to open his partner's bid-suit. Instead, feeling that South was prepared for a spade opening, he "crossed him" by leading the jack of hearts. East played the Ace and led the spade Queen through.

West's ace smothered the King and a spade was returned. After running his six spades, East shifted to the club Queen, and the carnage continued. West merrily ran his five clubs and, on the last card, poor South, who was completely groggy, guessed the wrong card to hold he had to let go either the heart King or the diamond Ace. And, to cap the climax, while the 2600-point penalty was being entered, West observed suavely: "Too bad we don't get credit for a grand slam!" on Contract Bridge Table An observation that should have been punished with boiling oil!

THE SCOT IS BALKED IN HIS GENEROSITY The inevitable Scot, a commuter, was buying some cigars and cramming them quickly into his pocket when a friend approached. "You don't smoke cigars, do you, mon?" the Scot asked his friend hopefully. "No, I smoke cigarettes," came back the friend. "Isn't that too bad," voiced the canny one.

"I could have bought you a cigar but you say you use cigarettes and they don't break packages here." New York Sua 43 The aftersong. 45 Hop kiln. 46 Come in. 48 Clips. 50 Japanese food fish.

The Globe's Daily "Happy By JAMES V. BARTON THE sun shone bright through the half-frosted windows of ths Perkins' hotel room. On his chair in the corner Ralph squirmed uneasily. He avoided looking at Sheila and gazed intently at a bright patch of sunlight on the carpet. Sheila and Ralph were troupers.

On the stage they were billed as Seabee and Perkins, but in private life they were Mr and Mrs Ralph Perkins. Sheila watched her husband thoughtfully for a few moments.

That leaves us three dollars to live on for three days." witn tne air of a preacher who has just completed a two-hour sermon, Ralph sat down again. "A dollar a day.

Cheer up. We'll struggle along." Then, before Ralph could question her or ask what she was going to do, she had popped one of the dollars into heripurse and disappeared into the hall. He heard the door slam after her. In a half hour she was back laden with supplies. "There," she said exultantly.

"Liver sausage, bread, butter and pie. Enough for lunch and dinner." Ralph stared and then suddenly began to laugh hysterically. "What's the joke?" she demanded tartly. "It's no feast, but it's better than. starving." Ralph finally got his breath and gave her a hug.

"Darling, I couldn't help it. I was just laughing at the irony of the thing. How are we going to eat all this stuff? We haven't a knife, a fork, a spoon, a plate or a tablecloth. As a matter of fact we haven't even a table." Sheila gave one weak little moan and threw herself on the bed. Then suddenly his face began to light up slowly.

You are the one I should have married. You "understood me as Connie never will." "And if you had married me you would have felt that same way about her," Anna said smiling politely, as the lights flashed up and the music ceased. "Maybe it was unkind of me," Anna confessed to Jimmy on the way home. "Not at all. He deserved it and a lot more," Jimmy insisted.

"But after all he had a right to marry someone else if he preferred her. Think how I'd be feeling now if he had married mel" "He could have been man enough to break his engagement to you before he made love to Connie," Jimmy argued. "Do you suppose if I fell for someone else I'd sneak off to Reno and marry her without telling Mitzi about it first?" As they drove into the garage a taxi stopped across the street, but they were too intent on their con versation to notice it. "I had a beautiful time, Jimmy," Anna said as he helped her out of the car. "You are so sweet," he said grate fully.

He leaned down to kiss her lightly but, instead of his lips brushing hers, they clung there as if he could not let her go. It was Anna who gently released herself from Jimmy's arms. Her voice was tremulous but light as she cried, "Goodnight, Jimmy dear!" They were on the porch now, ready to open the door, when he asked, "You know how I feel about you, don't you?" Her answer was without sarcasm. "I ought to by this time." but Anna he cried. Before he could finish his sentence a petite, fur-swathed figure descended from the taxi across the street and ran toward them.

"Mitzi!" Anna whispered. Jimmy unlocked the door' and pushed Anna inside. "Go on to bed, Anna, please!" She obeyed, closing the door of her room behind her as Mitzi and Jimmy came into the living room. But the sound of their voices penetrated the silent house until it was impossible not to hear.

Rossettl (1830-1S94). New Year met me somewhat sad; Old Year leaves me tired. Stripped of favorite things I had. Balked of much desired; Yet farther on my road today-God willing, farther on my way. New Year, coming on epace.

What have you to give me? Bring you scathe, or bring you grace, Face me with an honest face. You shall not deceive me; Be It good or ill, be it what you will, It needs shall help me on my road. My rugged way to Heaven, please God. Amateur "What is your boy Josh studying to be?" "An amateur actor." "Do you approve of that? "Not exactly. But he won't make as much trouble for innocent bystanders as if he grows up to be an amateur lawyer or an amateur doctor." Washington Star, RADIO CHAPTER XXm MITZI had changed her mind.

This was obvious even to Anna, who could hear only one" ide of the conversation, when Jimmy said, "But I've already invited someone else. "You said you didn't want to go," he reminded her. "No, I can't do that! I won't do it." Anna's spirits dropped, but she ran into the hall to whisper, "It's all right! Go on and take her. I don't mir.d." But he shook his head. "No," he said stubbornly.

"If you wanted to see me tonight you should have said so this morning." Mitzi banged the telephone in his ear. "That wasnt necessary," Anna said. "1 knew that you had asked Mitzi first. If she changed her mind it would have been all right with me." It isn with me, he declared. I getting tired of it.

Maybe it will teach her a lesson." "But, Jimmy, you won't have a good time if you are worrying about her being mad at you." "The heck I won't. The days when I went around suffering about that are over Anna looked at him in surprise "Since when?" "Since I learned that the more indifferent I am the better she likes me." He smiled at Anna. "I promised myself this evening with you and we're going to have it. I wouldn't miss it for anything." It was a gallant speech and, although Anna realized why he said it, she couldn't resist being pleased. "All right, my friend! Far be it from me to remind you of your obligations." "I'm under no obligation to a girl who goes all to pieces when I refuse to break a date she turned down." Anna gloried in his new spirit, although she still mistrusted it.

But when she kissed his mother goodby, Auntie Steele whispered, "What did I tell you? Can't you see how he's changed?" But hadn't Jimmy himself declared his love for Mitzi? Anna decided to cease debating the question and concentrate on having a good time. This might be, who knew, their last evening together. Connie was stunning in feathery white chiffon. Her face showed none the marital disappointment which Carey had confessed. She looked as fresh as a young girl and Carey danced attention upon her as if he, too, were completely satisfied.

Anna began to wonder if the scene in the Steele living room had ever really happened. Both Connie and Carey nodded to her when she came in. 'They were dancing, but as soon as the music ceased they stopped to greet her with an elaborate pretense of at seeing her again. Carey's welcome implied that they had not met since his marriage. Connie's was gayly affectionate.

And Anna's response was suited to both. It implied and denied nothing. "You're never at home when we go to see Tanya," Carey complained. "I still work, you know. Every day except Sunday." "Tell me about Tanya's birthday," Connie suggested.

"I was so sorry I couldn't get out, but Carey had accepted an invitation across the bay. Did she like her presents?" "She adored Anna answered. "Auntie Steele fried a chicken and made a cake for her and we went on a picnic." "How delightful, smaled Connie, who shared Mitzi's opinion of picnics. But Connie had one quality which Anna would always admire. No matter how difficult the situation, she was able to meet it gracefully.

She was never blundering or crude or tactless. Having done her duty by Anna, she murmured, "We'll see you again, dear!" and floated away like a white wan. It was a couple of hours later before Carey asked to dance with Anna, but in the meantime she danced with Jimmy and the other men, most of whom had met her before as Carey's fiancee. To her own surprise she felt no em-bar assment at seeing them again, while Carey introduced another woman as his wife. It seemed Jerfectly natural to be with immy even though everyone there knew that he was engaged to Mitzi.

and that Mitzi had probably refused to come with him. Xven so, Anna had a food time. New Year" "Shiela. how much did you spend for all this?" "Seventy cents," she faltered. "Fine," Ralph beamed, "coffee li fifteen cents in the dining room downstairs.

No matter what you order, they send up a table with all thB trimmings. We'll just ring up room service, order two cups and for thirty cents we can have our feast." Carefully she concealed the food under the bed and Ralph phoned down for room service. In a few minutes the wailer appeared and laid the cloth. When he had finished he -resented the menu to the couple. "Just two cups of coffee." Ralph gave the order carelessly.

"Just just coffee, sir?" "Just coffee," repeated Ralph. "Too much celebration last night," he added by way of explanation. The man nodded sympathetically and disappeared into the hall. In a short while he was back with a rt of coffee. He poured it into the two cups and retired.

"You can ring when you've finished." he murmured, and was gone. Ralph and Shiela held their breath until his footsteps faded away down the hall. When they were sure he had gone, they locked the door and dove under the bed after their supplies. "Tomorrow," said Sheila, "I'll spend a few pennies and buy a knife, a spoon and some paper plates. Finally, when they had 'disposed of all the pie and sandwiches they could hold and after they had carefully boxed the remainder to keep until supper time, Ralph jingled the 30 cents in his pocftet and phoned for the waiter.

He knocked softly at the door, entered and began to stack up the plates and remove the table. Sheila and Ralph watched him narrowly. After he hdd removed what remained into the hall, Ralph steeled himself and strode nonchalantly over to the doorway. "The check," he laid casually. "I'll pay it now." "The check?" The waiter looked bewildered.

"The he repeated. "Yes, the check," said Ralph nervously. "Didn't you bring it?" "Why, there are no checks today," said the waiter. "This is New Year's Day. Everything is on the house.

And do you know," he added in a sudden burst of confidence, "you're the only people in the hotel that didn't order the whole menu." He shouldered the portable table and started down the hall. "Happy New Year," he called. Sheila and Ralph stood huddled together in the doorway. "Happy New Year," they murmured faintly. (Copyright, McClure Newspaper Syndicatt.) THIS RECENT GRADUATE IS BOUND TO SUCCEED To graduate from college and then find no immediate opening for employment is a not uncommon experience of youth in these times.

One Brockton young man, finding himself in such a predicament after earning his war to an education, has refused to be discouraged. Making the best of the situation, and unwilling to idly wait for something to turn up, he took up peddling as a stop gap. He buys apples, good ones, at wholesale, goes about to shops, stores anfl offices offering his wares, polite and pleasant in his approach to peop.e, and so far doing rather well in the way of daily earnings.

She enjoyed dancing and she danced welL Men who hadn't dared cut In when she was Carey's sweetheart felt no hesitation in doing so now. They complimented her on her dancing and her lovely figure, and although she recognized this as merely the idle courtesy of a modern dancing partner it was fun to listen.

One man, who was one of the best dancers on the floor, suggested that she come to a party he was sponsoring the following Saturday. "I'm afraid I haven't anyone to come with," Anna admitted. "You needn't worry about that," he insisted. "I know any number of big shots who will be only too glad to look after a girl like you." "It's all right," he added as she still hesitated. "I'm a friend of Jimmy's.

I've known him for years." When their dance wis over he scribbled a number on his card. "I'm going to give you my tele phone number in case you change your mind," he said. Jimmy, who witnessed the transaction, asked, "What's the big idea?" "I'm inviting Miss Stahl to our dance next Saturday night." "Sorry," Jimmy returned pleasantly, "but she has an engagement." The other man smiled. "I get you! Well, no offense meant, Jimmy! I merely wanted to show her a good time." After he had gone Anna asked, "What was the matter with you, Jimmy? I haven't any engagement and you know it." "It's none of my business, of course," Jimmy admitted, "but so long as you're with me I feel it my duty to warn you that bird is no gentleman. He's in charge of cub- lie relations for a big corporation and one of his jobs is to drum up attractive girls for the dances they give.

Once on his Jist he'll pester the life out of you. Of course, if that's your idea of a good time it's all right with me." Anna was amused, but she answered demurely, "I wouldn't consider doing such a thing if you advised me against it." Jimmy beamed upon her. "I was sure ycj'd feel that way. I didn't like to be rude to him, but I thought it would be better just to make your position clear to him so that he wouldn't annoy you again." Dear Jimmy! His interest in her E3 THORNTON Reddy Hides REDDY FOX was in a fix; he certainly was in a fix. Here he was with a fat hen, which he had come such a long, long way to get, and now he had no chance to eat it, for Bowser the Hound was on his trail.

Now ordinarily Reddy Fox can run faster than can Bowser, but it is one thing to run with nothing to carry and another thing altogether to run with a burden as heavy as a fat hen. Reddy's wits were working quite as fast as his legs. "I can't carry this fat hen far," thought Reddy, "for Bowser will He tossed the fat hen over Into th hollow of that stump. surely catch me. I dont want to drop it because I have come such a long way to get it, and goodness knows when I will be able to catch another.

The thing for me to do Is to hide it where I can come back and get it after I get rid of that pesky dog. Goodness, what a noise he makes!" As he ran Reddy watched sharply this way and that way for a place to hide the fat hen. He knew he had to find a place soon, because already that fat hen was growing very heavy. Presently he spied the hollow a a it as so of of he was only platonic, but he wouldn't stand for ber associating with anyone he considered her inferior. "Sometime I'd like to know your idea of a nice boy friend for me," Anna said as they started to dance.

"I can tell you now. That nice young law clerk from your own office." "Not Ralph Merriam?" "Why not? I'd trust you with him anywhere." "You could," she admitted, but the idea provoked her. Did Jimmy honestly think she could be interested in a boy like Ralph? Or did he prefer that she play around with someone he knew she could never care about? She was still puzzling over this when Carey asked her to dance. Knowing they were the center of attention among their friends, Anna was grateful when the lights were dimmed until Carey whispered, "What a break!" "Isn't this an interesting idea for a night club?" Anna asked, pretending not to have heard. "And such wonderful music." "You are wonderful," murmured the romantic Carey.

"I've often wondered," Anna continued, "how so many night clubs can keep going. You wouldn't think there would be enough people in San Francisco to support so many of them." "Don't you care for me at all?" Carey demanded. "The competition is so keen. Not only from other clubs but from the hotels," Anna informed him. "You are cruel," Carey sighed.

Then at last she answered him. "I wouldn't have danced with you, bit to refuse would have made us both conspicuous. But I shan't let you make it an opportunity for getting personal." "I've so much to say to you, Anna!" "You couldn't say anything which would really interest me," she declared. "It's only your vanity which wants to see if I still register." "That's not true," he flared. "If I can prove it to you will it make any difference?" "Not the slightest.

Connie said you were across the bay yesterday. The flowers must be lovely over there this time of the year." "I've no idea whether they are or not," he answered. "What's more I BURGESS the Fat Hen stump of a tree. He didn't know it was hollow when he first saw it, but from the looks of it he thought it might be. The top of it was only about two feet above the ground.

Reddy stopped and stood up on his hind legs so as to see if the top of that stump was hollow. It was. With quick look this way and that way he tossed the fat hen over into the hollow of that stump, and then, with sigh of relief, darted away. With the weight of that fat hen off his shoulders and the worry about off his mind, Reddy could give all his attention to getting rid of Bowser the Hound. He had no intention of running any farther than he must.

In the first place, he had traveled so far that he did not feel like running. In the second plaoe, he wanted to get back to that hollow stump and the fat hen just as soon possible. 1 It wasn't long before Reddy realized that it was not going to be easy to fool Bowser the Hound. Bowser was too wise to be fooled by common tricks, such as breaking the trail by jumping far to one side after running back on his own tracks a little way, or by running along a fallen tree and jumping from the end it as far as he could. Of course he tried these tricks, but each time Bowser simply made a big circle with his nose to the ground and picked up Reddy's new trail.

Reddy didn't know that country about there at all, and little by little he began to realize how much this meant. At home he knew every foot the ground for a long distance abc.rt in every direction. This made all the diffei-ence in the world, because he knew just how to play all kinds of tricks. But here it was different It seemed to him that all could do was to run and run. (Copyright, 1935.
