rT(lY, FOTntTFTFTT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1941 FOR THE LOVE OF PAM By VJVIEN GREY: YESTERDAY: Partly twcaius of a bet with Antoin. the or chestra leader, but mostly b raiue he wanted to tee Pam Quellertm aoain, Jerry Win thropc hat atked her to a done at Casa Marina. Jerry't mother haj been very nice to Pamela, hie eiiter hae been rude, and nolo Freda Barington, whom Jerry hat known a Long time, if talking with him about his nets friend. Chapter Four Freda's Ring yOU might tell me who iht Is." Fred laid Anally. Jerry turned to search the girl's face. There had been something in her voice that caught his at tention. Freda Btrington was the fi irl nit name hao always been inked with. He had sauired her to dances and made aav whirls of night clubs with her. And somehow she always showed up at the places his family spent their winters. Freda and her mother, the In diligent and very rich Toni Bar ington, invariably arrived a few days after the Winthropes had settled in winter quarters. It had been a taken-for-granted thing, and Freda was a nice girl, Jerry admitted. She had been a grand playmate. Jerry glanced at her now and was acutely aware of the large square diamond on the third An ger of her left hand. His diamond. He remembered the day he got it for her. He had driven Freda and her mother back to their apartment in New York after a week-end with his mother in Westchester. Mrs. Barington wanted to pick up a Bracelet sne was naving re paired at a fashionable jeweler's. Freda was intrigued by the dia mond display and the clerk, rec ognizing her as the daughter of one or the nrm s Dest customers, got out the ring that Interested Freda most. Freda slipped it on her finger and turned delightedly to Jerry. "Look, darling! I just ache with envy of the girl who'll get this!" Mrs. Barington had breezed along lust then. Her blithe, care. less glance had gont from Freda to Jerry. "Well, why not now, Jerry?' the had asked lightly. Freda's eyes had questioned his lor a tull minute. "Why not!" from Jerry. So Freda kept the ring and the price of it was put on Jerry's lather s account. Freda took off the ring and there on Fifth Avenue insisted Jerry make a ceremony of put ting it on her finger. "Now kiss mel" she commanded Imperiously. Jerry kissed her. "You two darling Idiots!" Mrs. Barington said, laughing gently. And people passing turned to look and smile at the handsome young couple so obviously in love. Next day when he got home he had told his mother about giv ing f reda the ring. "Oh, darling, I'm so glad!" She had stood on tipoe then and kissed her tall, handsome son. His mother and Ton! Baring ton had been girlhood friends. Only Toni had been rich even then, as the only daughter of the owners of a prosperous glass fac tory at Shirley, Indiana. His mother liked Freda. . . . "Who is she, Jerry?" Freda's voice penetrated his thoughts. "Her name is Pamela." Jerry hesitated, as if realizing for the first time that he knew little mors about her than Just her name. "And she's the sweetest, loveli est thing in the world! Freda finished for him, laughing. "Well, I suppose there are times when that's all a man needs know about a girl." Dinner For Two HIR voice was light, but her eyes were on him with more than a casual glance. "You haven't said a word to me, Jerry," she continued. "You haven't even noticed the dress that I put on purpose)? for you. Mother made me buy it because he said you'd like it. Can't you put yourself out a little and say something nice to a girl once in a while?" Jerry looked at her then. Freda was beautiful in a sleek, smooth way. She was always dramatic as to dress. "You're magnificent tonight, Freda," he said obedientlv. "There! That's much better!" he smiled. "And now aren't you gutrg to ask me to dancer "Of course. Freda." They danced. Then Jerry was bark beside Pam, claiming her from the little group of young men milling' about her. He insisted upon dinner at the hotel. l ou owe me that," he urged when Pam susm-sted home. "for all the time I've let you spend with these other fellows." Pam raid then she tnuit tele phone Melita. She slwavs let Me. lita know when she wouldn't he home for dinner so Melita wouldn't wait and spoil her ow n evening. Jerry smiled whimsically. "All right," he said. "You've got some quaint tricks, but I like them." And he did. he reflected, ss he lipped the coin in the box for her and waited while she talked. She was so refreshingly differ ent So sincere and considerate Jt Can Happen j Baker, Ore., Sept. 11. i.P It isn't supposed to happen I ROUGH RIDER CORDS $3.95 "Start Back to School From Barker's" 73aXbaia with everyone. That was part of it, he thought. That was the thing that was reaching out and taking hold of bis heart Her beauty alone couldn't have '.one it He had seen hundreds of beautiful girls. It was that sweet gracious ness, that unselfishness running like a bright thread through all the pattern of her living, that drew him to Pam. It was a golden chain linking him to her life. And he was glad. There were no more unhappy incidents that evening. Jerry's mother stopped a moment at their table, but declined Jerry's invi tation to dine with them. "I know young people like to be alone," she said. "I won't snoil this for you." And then went on to another table. "She's sweet," Pam said a trace wistfully, recalling her own mother. "Adele's swell." Jerry was looking thoughtfully at his mother, reflecting that if she knew what he did about Pam she would not feel their time alone together was to be so short that she might spoil something Just by having dinner with them. It had been a rather generous gesture on the part of his mother, yet it gave him a clue to her belief re garding himself and Pam. It was evident she thought It was to be on affair of short du ration. The Kiss THE fragrant dark of Florida night was vaguely silvered by moonlight when Pam and Jerry finally walked down the curving drive of the hotel toward Jerry's car. Fam was glad Jerry drove slowly through the deserted streets, while under the pale moon. She was glad he didn't talk much. She had never ceased to love her home town. Key West &ne loved me quaint charm o! it Friendly little houses, their shabbiness turned to beauty by the shadows, nestled close as if to give some long-gone seafarer's wife neighborly companionship even while he scrubbed the wide floor-boards of her kitchen or cooked the rich guava to richer preserves. To be there with the things she had known and loved and Jerry beside her was happiness enough. And Jerry, too, was thinking. He was thinking of Pam and Freda. Freda with her sleek, smooth beauty. But that wasn't the kind of beauty he wanted. There had been dozens of girls dancing there at the hotel who had Freda's sort of beauty. It was available at exclusive stores in little jars. In pretty bottles, in dresses and gadgets that bore names representative of class and distinction. It was purely and wholly of the exterior. And it left 'lim cold. While Pam he dared look for an instant at her lovely young lace beside him, dream-swept, exalted, her soft brown eyes and gently tanned skin, a startlingly lovely note against the gold of her hair. Her beauty was real. Something deep from within. Like a lamp burning steadily. Like a candle lighted In a cot tage window. Her beautv was real and natural. It had nothing to do with things handed over the counters of shops. They reached P.im's home, with Its lawns and garden much Inriier than most of its neighbors and its chimney that rose from a spacious fireplace. It had been a happy evening. In spite of Lenore's cruel remarks. As a family, the Quellertons had always made a point of trying to forget unpleasant things. Pam still kept to that philosophy. It had been one 01 the happiest eve nings she had known since she had been alone. The thought frightened her because Jerry was, after all, a winter man. She must dismiss him quickly. With a swift, audacious gesture, she took one of the violets from her dress, kissed the tip of her finger, touched the kiss to the violet and gave it to Jerry. "There! That's good-night and thank you for a lovely, lovely time!" She drew back then, startled at what her impulse had led her to do. But Jerry caught her hand as he took the violet and raised it to his lips and kissed each fin ger tip. "You're cuter than a mouse's ear," he said, as he carefully put the violet away. Pam laughed. "How cute Is that?" she asked. For answer Jerry's arms closed around her and drew her close against his heart "That cute," ha said as ha kissed her. Pam drew back, hurt and con fused. "Don't look at me like that, Pam." he said. "I mean so much that I can't sav now. Things that shonldn't mako you unhappy, dear." But still Pam drew back. "Don't," she said softly, in a hurt little voice. "Please don't say anything more." "Why, Pam? Is there someone else?" "No." she snswered thomht fully. "After all, you're a wmter man " "Pam!" He claimed her hands with a sort of humble reverence. "I see what vou mean. But this is different Please try to believe me. You're going to have to some day."

These tresses had an almost phosphorescent sheen and were Talusble in adding highlights to wigs. Factor learned that the hair was from the head of a "Madame Liedka," and nothing else was ever known of her, save that she was considered a great beauty. Every two years a ship ment of Liedka hair was received in Hollywood, and in 13 years the lady realised about $4,000 from the sale of her tresses) Two years ago Madame Liedka died, at the age of 65. In the last two shipments her once dark brown hair was now snow white, but still contained its unique sheen. All hair used by wigmakers in this country is imported. TOMORROW: Team of Twins!
