Luella wonders whether tht ouoht not to thock Htnry out of htt pro oc cupation with Marie and radio by tellina him that their friend. Tommy McJntyre, it In loot with htr. Thnlc you. Tommy." Luella laughed shortly. "I hope you don't mind too much if this turns out to be another one of those times when misery is just going to love company." "Of course not," Tommy as sured. "Only, if I'm going to be with you, I shan't be miserable." "Careful Tommy!" Tommy laughed. "See you as soon as I can get into my Tux, and grab a taxicab!" he said. Luella turned away from the telephone, and went into the bed room to dress. She kept asking herself if she was doing wrong, and there was no answer. All she could think of was the old adage about the goose and the gander. And that, she knew would dis please Henry. Henry Pell disliked people who were so mentally ster ile they had to resort to worn-out saws and sayings. Ainu Speaks THE rehearsal went over per fectly. Henry Pell, listening, watching, was enraptured by it To his way of thinking it was not only perfect, but brilliant as well. Alma Latham, who sat beside him, was also pleated. I do hoDe." she said, "that Malcolm decides to go on with the pro cram. Did vou like mv sketch?" I certainly did." Henrv as sured. "It's just the intelligent sort of humor I've always wanted to hear on the air." thanks. Marie certalnlv hrinn alive those songs of yours, doesn't she?" Then before Henry could reply. Alma said "She has talent, no doubt about that; but it would be useless if she didn't have the right sort of material." 'Then I take it, you really like my verses?" "I do. By the way, where Is that pretty wife of youis?" "She's at home," said Henry. "No one was permitted at the re hearsal, you know, but a selected audience." "I see. Did your wife tell you that I considered her a most re markable young woman?" "No!" Henrv replied, aiirnrls1 Imagine a worldly person like Alma Latham considering little Luella Brown Pell remarkable! "How do you mean?" Alma nodded toward Marie. who was talking to Mr. Everett. "Letting you spend so much time with her," she said. Oh. that!" Henrv lauehed. "Marie and I are old friends." "That doesn't make her any the less dangerous," Alma retorted. "Anyway, when I'm Mrs. Malcolm Rector, I'm not going to giye my husband as much rope as your wife gives you: not bv a lone shot!" Oh. well. I reckon Luella knows me," Henry said, trying to sound casual, but knowing darn well he didn't. Then he changed the subject. "Those three Broad way people In your sketch were great. Didn't you think so?" Yes," said Alma. Malcolm cer tainly knows how to pick them.

Luella had the meal all ready. They sat down. They ate in sirainea silence lor time. Luella finally spoke. "How are things down at the office?" she asked. "Okay," said Henry. "Why!" "Oh. I just asked, that's all. Tou never mention your work down there anymore. All your attention seems to be centered on radio songs." , Henry frowned. "Well, If you're under the impression that I'm neglecting my work at the office," he said, "you're, wrong." "I never thought of such a thing." "It sounded like it" "Aren't you pretty touchy about your work here of late?" -remaps, out you are pretty touchy yourself. We seem to get on eacn otner s nerves. "Whose fault is that?" "How should I know? "Oh, Henry, darling, do let's top snapping like this! "Suits me. Henry stopped eat ing long enough to give Luella a searching look. "What you need to do is get out more. You sit alone too much. Its bad for you. Being so much alone make peo ple moroia auspicious. "Really?" said Luella. "Then why don't you do something aoout u r "I? . . . What can I do when I'm working at the office?" "You could do something about it in the evenings." "Oh, that again!" "Yes. Henry that again. Sorry." Luella shrugged. "The days are long, when one knows so few people. I suppose I could go out and pick up people in the Park." She saw Henry's startled look, but went right on. "I didn't seem to make much of a hit with those wives of the men at the of fice. I've tried several times to get one or two of them for lunch, or a matinee, but they're always dated up." "Even Sue?" Henry questioned. "She struck me as being some thing of a home-body and ought to have some free time." "She's visiting her mother," said Luella. "She won't be back for a month. Irene spends all her afternoons 'volleying balls for nl m nth ..-..11 th- M BU SAIWOCV. mi-VKI, UM III. "How about the women here in the home the other tenants?" said Henry. "Good lord, seems like you ought to be getting ac quaints witn mem. "I have, more or less," said Lu ella. "When they are walking tneir nogs, ana im marketing. There are only two other wo men in the house, you know and they each have dogs. One of them has two as you doubtless realize, considering ma nair on ue nan carpet. "Well, go on. "I tried to appear friendly," said Luella, "but they both seemed strangely reserved. Thev concen trated on their dogs, and left me feeling a bit awkward. I take it their lives are wrapped up in ca nine problems, and there's no room left for neighborliness. "Would vou like a doe?" "Of course not! Good heavens, Henry, do you think a dog would taice your piacei Lnella Makes A Data AND a half hour later she watched Henry go off to the handsome. A brief kiss on the cheek, and a casual, "1 11 probably be out until pretty late," and that ns aii. jienry on once more, and the four walls of the apartment seeming to close in on Luella, as the walls of a prison upon a pris oner. She ssnk into her favorite chair, sick at heart, dreading another long evening alone. She had got ten a book from the lending li br,ry ,or Just such an occasion as this but she didn't feel like reading it. She was sick of books. She was sick of many things, es pecially this heart-breaking wait ing She gazed at the opposite wall. Suddenly, unable to stand the loneliness and silence a moment longer. LuHla sprang to her feet. She went to the telephone and oiiMed a numlwr "Hello?" said a masculine voice -Tommy, is that you?" said Luella. Yes. ... Oh, he'lo, Luella!" "Tommy, does thnt invitation to Su nnncing still nolo good? ' 'You bet it does for alw; i an we no It tonight?"

They went on from the broadcasing studio to a restaurant for a late suoner. There the pro gram was discussed thoroughly, suggestions made, criticism given and the final decision as to what was going to be done about it left up in the air! It was after midnight when Henry glanced at nis watch, and said he nad to be, going. "After all," he added, "I have a job, you know, office hours, and all that." He grinned feelins the cocktails he had taken. "Besides, my boss, Herr Crabb a man with totalitarian leanings is beginning to resent my interest in radio." "Don't let that worry you too much." said Malcolm Rector. "I still think we'll have a place for you In our organization. "Thanks," said Henry. Til prohably park on your doorstep. "What sort of place do you mean, Malcolm?" Alma Latham asked, with just a shade of sus picion. "Oh, I'm not quite certain yet" Rector replied. "But we shall see." Later when Henrv was tnlcina Marie home in a taxicab, he said: "Alma Latham looked a bit an noyed, I though, when Rectot spoke of a place for me in the or ganization. "So I noticed." Marie replied. That's why you've got to be on the alert I wouldn't trust that woman any further than I could throw a couple of grand pianos." Henry chuckled. "Bov. how vou women adore each other!" he said And then: "Pretty swell evening, wasn't it?" Yes. rrettv swell " said M.rl. somewhat listlessly.

He knew it sounded sillv. He knew perfectly well, just as Marie said he did. And he had known all along that sooner or later he and Mane would have to have a show, down, or an understanding, or whatever one wished to call it 'Listen. Marie, we " "Oh. Hrnnr."
