"LOVE
I DARE NOT
By ALLEN E CURLISS
SYNOPSIS
Alec Graham, 35, is a successful
playwright, and Cina Warren, at
31, has matched his success in her
own field, portrait painting. Ten
years ago, they bad been in love,
bat the demands of their careers
had become so pressing that, final-
ly, they had drifted from the idea
of marriage into an almost casual
friendship. Dining with Barry
- Bedard, art critic and old friend, 1
,Gina confesses to him her regret
that the and Alee allowed ambi
tion to become more important
i than love. Believing that Alec
: shares her feeling, she resolves to
disease their future with him later
that same evening. While Alec U
' waiting for Cina at ber apartment,
' bef 19-year-old : cousin arrives
from llaine to study dramatics.
Though disappointed at finding
Cina oat, Caroline is thrilled to
meet the noted Alec. Tbey talk of
the theatre and Alec interested
in Caroline's unusual personality
and intelligence promises to help
ber. A few days later he places her
' with a dramatic coach. Rose Mar-
tell. One night, not realising that
be is falling in love with Caroline,
Alee asks if she is in love with any
one. He is glad, for her career's
sake, when she assures him she is
not. - ' ' '
CHAPTER VIII
"You're - not - what, darling)
asked Gina, coming in at this point
in the' conversation, looking very
lovely and restive in a trail black
dinner dress. -
"Alec," said Caroline, with her
. quick, wide grin, "has been trying to
pry .into my love life."
"Has he?" said Gins, and felt that
swift, painful sub at her heart that
Caroline so innocently and so fre
quently gave her. Then she said,
wondering why, in spite of every
thing, she liked this child so very
much, "And what did he manage to
discover about iti"
"That I haven't one," grinned
Caroline. "Excuse me, you two,
while I get my lipstick and my
eoat," and she went off blithely and
left Gint alone with Alec
Alec said, "Sit down, darling, and
let your elderly dinner date wait. I
. bavent seen you for days, and it is
much more important that we have
a few minutes together occasionally
than that you be on time for a tare-
some engagement."
"But, Alec." protested Gins, ura
lng soft black gloves swiftly over
slim, ringless fingers, "ifs terribly
important for me to persuade him I
should go to Pittsburgh next week
and do his portrait," -
"Good Lord!" Alee look gen
uinely distressed. You wouidn t go
tearing off to Pittsburgh, darling!
You're only this minute back from
Ohio. Damn ft, I wish you were
going with us tonight.".
She looked at him, ber heart
beating swiftly, and thought, "He
really means it . . . he would like
me to go with them. X am probably
unduly alarmed about his interest
in Caroline. It probably isnt what
I think it is. at alL" She thought
then, "Perhaps some time very soon
cow, I will talk to him about as,
iteraU." , - t
But At weear later It looked as If
she would leave for Pittsburgh with
out even seeing Alec again, much
less talking to him.
Then he called her up and ar
ranged to take her to dinner and to
the train.
They went to a small quiet restau
rant and he ordered dinner care
fully and then sat looking at her as
if among all the people in the world,
there was no one he had rather be
looking at, at the moment, than her.
dint meeting his eyes, thought.
Anyone seeing us would think we
were lovers . . ." and she found it a
little ironical and painful to think
bow wrong they would be.
She said, "Be nice to Caroline
while I'm away, won't you? It's
going to be a bit lonely for her alone
in the apartment."
Pont worry, she's working much
too hard to be lonely. When she gets
through with a day with Rose, I
imagine she s ready to crawl into
bed and sleep the clock around. By
the way, I saw Bernstein today. He
was pretty difficult at first, but in
the end he promised to look out for
something for her after-Christmas
Some small walk-on cart with a few
lines, perhaps. .
In spite of herself. Gina felt her
breath come faster. She said, forc
ing herself to speak calmly, "That
means that she'll be leaving town, I
suppose I" And saying it, she real
ized how exquisitely relieved she
would be to have Caroline out of
town for a while, to have Alec once
more to herself. t
But Alec was frowning. "No.
don't mean stock. I'm talking about
a New York production." .-j
Gina's -gray eyes flew onen in
credulously. "But Alee," she pro
tested, softly, "do you think that's
advisable! I thought
"I know," said Alec, "you thought
that no one could possibly appear on
Broadway until they'd had at least
two years in stock." .: .
"Well," said Gina. "do you think
it's wise for Caroline to attempt it
without having any experience at
am".
"Do you think," asked Alec impa
tiently, "that I would suggest it, if
l thought it wasn't!'
"No, of course not All the
same " :
"I know. It Isnt done. Two years
in stock. At least one season with
a summer theatre. The old Broad.
way formula. But this time we're
going to break the formula. Create
a new one And if I tell Bernstein
to find a part for her, hell damn
well nave to find one."
"There's bo doubt about that."
That half smile on Gina's mouth and
in her eyes. That smile that was so
hard to define..
She knew, that the last four of
Alec's plays bad appeared under
Bernstein management and that
they had made the producer thou
sands of dollars. He could afford to
risk a dozen unimportant parts in
as many plays, rather than risk in
curring Alec s displeasure.
So she said now, "You probably
know best . . . and it was nresmnD.
tuous of me to speak as though you
"For God's sake, darling, don't be
bumble with me. I cant bear it . . .
and dont yon know that yon can
always say scything you like to

Gina's Tips quivered again Into
that sweet, light laugh. "Can
darling? That is a great comfort to
me. eut in tne meantime, i nave to
catch a train to Pittsburgh."
Alec said, "Damn Pittsburgh . . .
and felt that old sense of loneliness
descend upon him that he always
felt when Gina was to be out of
town for any length of time.

he insisted upon her having, be put
his arms around her neck and kissed

Hunt Bros. Will
. Curtail '38 Pack
Heavy Holdover, Same as
in Rest of Industry, Is
Chief Reason
Hunt Brothers' Packing com
pany will materially curtail its
1938 packing operations, accord
ing to statement of G H. Bradt,
president, released in San Fran
cisco and appearing in the coast
edition of -the Wall Street Jour
nal. Reasons for the 1938 redaction
in pack are the result of heavy
inventories of 1937 canned fruits
and vegetables, together with re
stricted sales of wholesale nuyers
and 30 per cent wage increases
in 1937 over 1936.
Closing inventories were heavy,
not only in this company but
In the entire industry. The Hunt
Bros., inventory at February 28,
1938, Is reported at $2,106,306.
compared with or nearly double
the $1,110,725 a year earlier.
An independently audited re
port of Hunt Bros. Packing com
pany for .the year ended Febru
ary 28. 1938, shows net loss of
150,044 after all charges, in
cluding depreciation, interest and
$108,000 write-down in year-end
investcry values, compared with
a net profit of $80,762 a year
earlier. Bank loans were about
twice as large last February 28
as on the same day in 1937.
