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.

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 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

"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

Lonely Girl
HENRY slipped on a smoking
jacket, a birthday gift from
Luella, and went into the living-room.
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

"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

"How about the women here

said Henry. "Good lord, seems

"I have, more or less," said Lu

There are only two other wo

and they each have dogs. One of

"Well, go on.

Luella, "but they both seemed

watched Henry go off to the

the four walls of the apartment

Marie, Rector, and Everett Joined
them. 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

"Thanks," said Henry. Til

"What sort of place do you

asked, with just a shade of sus

Rector replied. "But we shall see."
Later when Henrv was tnlcina
Marie home in a taxicab, he said:
"Alma Latham looked a bit an

spoke of a place for me in the or

"So I noticed." Marie replied.
That's why you've got to be on

woman any further than I could

Henry chuckled. "Bov. how vou
