'eating strawberries. She said,-"It

Alee said he didn't see how any

' And what in heck was allergic ?

be around cats or feathers without
breaking out in a rash or starting to
sneeze. It's been goicg on for jrears
but they've only just namedajt, I
believe."
. The important thing, she went on
to point out, was that because Har-

Suddenly he realized that this was
true . . that all the way to London
he had been counting on her being
there . . that bad she not been
there, he would have, been unutter-

He reached for her band and held
it closely in bis Through the soft
suede of her glove he could feel the
pulse beat in the tips of her fingers.
He thought, "She . has the most

Some Stocks Rally
NEW YORtf.jMay 17 - (JP) -Selling
picked up In today's stock
market and, while buying sup
port was timid, leading Issues
managed to emerge from a slug
gish session with recoveries of
fractions to a point or so.
Early demand for aircrafts was
a mildly bolstering influence,
and, toward the latter part of the
proceedings, selected steels,' util
ities,: mail orders, coppers and
specialties edged forward.
.Although the; Associated Press
average of 60 stocks was up .3
of a point at 40.1, moderate de
clines were plentiful at the close.
The activity picked up a trifle?-
but it was still insufficient to
warm up the ticker tape. Trans
fers amounted to 416,060 shares
against 359,920 the day before.
I DARE
By ALLEN E CUKLISS
denly that nothing was any differ
ent, in the. slightest, degree,, from
what it bad been when, she had left
New. York four months- ago.' Only
this morning-, the London Times had
carried a picture of Alee and an an
nouncement of his engagement, to
"Caroline Hoyt, ayoung American
actress." . . " .'. .. .
' It had been an old picture of Alec,
one taken at least five years ago
when he had had his first London
success with a comedy called THIS
sice of the moon. He had. cabled
her to join him at once, saying "We
might even get married over here
. . it's a swell town to do anything
in. . .. ." ' i ' ' . .
But she had been In Washington
painting the very beautiful wife of
a foreign minister and had cabled
back that, much as she would like
to join him, to say nothing about
marrying him, she couldn't at the
moment get away to do either.
It was all very offhand and light-
hearted and quite in the accepted
modern manner . . and it was only
now, five years later, that it seemed
pathetic and tragic to think that
neither one of them had really
wanted to stop long enough to do
anything about the other.
And now, because they hadn't
wanted to, Alee was marrying Caro
line Hoyt, a young American ac
tress, and she was going to paint
toe portrait or Henry Hargrove, a
young English actor. That is, when
Henry recovered sufficiently- from
having inadvertently eaten straw
berries. : J s -
In the meantime, she and Alec
found themselves in London to
gether So what ?
So nothing, except that presently
they would go along tocher flat 'and
have tea, or cocktails, if Alee pre
ferred cocktails . . . and she had been
a fool to think that that brief ex
citement they had both experienced
at being together again meant any
thing It didn't. Or rather, it didn't
to Alee, and very soon now. in an
other hour or so, it wouldn't to her.
Alee came back and got in beside
I her. "Well, that s taken care of . .
j now where is this fiat of yours ?
' She gave him the address - and.
looking at him, knew that not soon,
not in another, hour or so, or next
week, or next, or any other as long
as she should live, would being with
AJec not mean anything to her.
But she also knew that if they
were to continue with any kind of a
decent relationship, she must never
let him guess this, so she said now,
with nothing more important than
friendliness in her voice, "It's not
far from here; it's right around the
corner, really. And you're sure to
like it. It has a bow window and a
rather terrible red carpet, but the
chimney draws beautifully which,
as yon know, in England is much
more important."
Alec liked it. He liked it that first
afternoon and he liked it all the
numerous other afternoons that he
went there during the next three
weeks. To say -nothing about the
evenings,-Not that they spent -all
their evenings in the fiat on Half
Moon Street. -They didnt. But they
in variabl y spent them together. They
dined at large hotels . on noisy
squares and at small restaurants on
quiet side strct-ta that Alee had dis
covered on previous visits to Lon
don. He introduced her to his Eng

lish friends and they went together
to smart dinner parties . in - St.
James's and to coektail parties ia
small, de luxe flats in Fail Mall. -.
Gina. was accented eacerlv every
where ; not . only, because she was .
Alec's, friend but on her own - ac
count. . She Was ', surprised, and
quietly pleased; to find that theso
peonie were as interested and im
pressed "with her portrait painting
as they were with Alec's plays.
She knew that in a little while she
would tire of the whole thing, be
cause - people en : masse depressed
and enervated her, but for the time
being she was having . fun. She
bought more, clothes, particularly .
evening things, than she had had
in years, and spent both time and
money on her hair and skin, with the
result that during this period she'
was lovelier looking than she had'
been any time since those first years
in New York. And If in the ten or
twelve years since then her face had
inevitably lost most of its youthful
ardor and eagerness, it had gained
a certain sharp and sensitive beauty
that comes only with, having lived
fully and intelligently.
Alec, looking at her across a the
atre box or a dinner table, during
this time, found himself wondering
again and again how she had man
aged to get through the last four or
five years, or that time since they
had no longer made any claims
whatever on each other, without
having become involved in some sort
of love affair. Men, he was sure,
must have made love to her. Must
have wanted to marry her. There
were even one or two right here in
London who he was certain were at
the moment acutely interested in
her. And there was Barry Bedard
in New York. . . .
One night when they had returned
fairly early from a small but im
portant dinner party to her flat in
Half Moon Street and found a cable
announcing Barry's arrival within
the next few days, Alec said to her,
"Does that by any chance mean any
thing more than it says, Gina?"
. The cable had said merely that he
was sailing on a certain date, would
be stopping at Alec's hotel, and
would get in touch with her imme
diately upon his arrival.
Gina walked over. to the smau
fireplace, poked np a sleepy fire,
straightened, and said. "Why. no.
Alec. What else could it mean ?" -
Quite a few things . . . that he
was crossing primarily, to see yon
that you had arranged it be
tween you weeks ago. ..."
Gina laughed and sat down on a
small aof a that was drawn up in
front of the' fire and put her feet,
in their narrow . chartreuse satin
slippers,, up on the brass fender.
Barry always comes to London
about this time each year and if yon
call writing me a few weeks asro
that be would probably be here
when I was, arranging anything,
then we did.". . . .. ... . -
"Then there is nothing between
you?" ' ' . . . . . . . ;
"Nothing except, what there has
always been. A great deal of grati
tude and affection on my part, and
obviously friendly interest on his."
"Are yon sure there is nothing
more than that? On his part 1
mean!"

BOSTON. May 17 (AP) (USDA)
Pleecee offered from the middle west
through Boston houses showed a weaken
ing tendency today. County paeked mixed
lota of three eighths and quarter blood
grades of bright fleece wools were being
offered at 24 to 24 eenta in the grease
delivered east. ' A little demand waa be
ing received but there were few buyers
ipterestd at th prices askd. Some mills
were bidding only 24 cents in the grease;
delivered east, for graded combing, quar
tet blood offered from the middle went.
Asking prices on spot graded bright
fleece wools ia Boston were unchanged
but the few bids receivejl were mostly
below the prices offered last wek.
