Chapter 18
Soar Note
JOE Instinctively placed his arm
about her. drew her to him.
Ruby did not resist. She relaxed
against him like a little girl
who was all tired out from too
much running about They sat
thus, silent, understanding. And
Joe knew that he would always
remember the moment It was a
sweet moment to remember
Ruby, with hrr appealing per
fume, the dark, star-sprinkled
kv, the sound of sleepy insects.
'.Something for me to remember
in my old age." he thought
Presently Ruby stirred.
"It's dear of you, Joe," she said,
"to let me rest here like this.
I know you must be wanting to
get back into the gaiety."
"You're wrong," Joe said. "I
like this much better. The two
of us here together sort of of
understanding, not needing to
talk a lot of chatter."
"It is nice," said Ruby. "I like
It also." ,
And they relaxed again, (axing
off toward the barn. But thry did
not know, of course, that Kath
leen and Paul were also relaxing
sitting upon a bench, their
backs against the barn's wall.
"And do you suppose," Kath
leen was saying, "that Ruby
really will do something about
Joe's play, if she likes it?"
"I wouldn't be surprised," said
Paul. "She does - seem to want
to try starring herself. But get
ting a producer interested, and
finding backing means a lot.
"Yes, I suppose so." Kathleen
was thoughtful for a moment
"Has the author of 'Goodbye,
Honey Chile!' gotten his back
ing'" "I'm not sure about that," Paul
replied. "But I hear some scouts
are being sent down from New
York to watch the production
here In Llnvllle."
'Then if I had a small part
me scouts wouia see mer
"Unless they're stone blind,"
said Paul. He took one of Kath
leen's hands, and laid It against
his cheek a gesture he was
using that week in the first act
of the play. "You are mighty easy
to look at"
"And you are going to give me
chance, aren't you? said Kath
. leen. She leaned forward, so
that she could watch Paul's face.
"It means so much to me."
"I know it does," said Pul. Til
bring the script of the play out
to the barbecue. You can read it,
and tell me what you think."
"But I know I'll love the play,"
said Kathleen. "May I read aloud
to you the role you have in mind
lor me?"
"Of course you may," said Paul.
He pressed the hand he held to
his lip a gesture he used in the
second act of the play. "You go
with moonlight and roses," he
said, his voice husky with emo
tion. "You spell romance Kath
leen, my aweet one."
"Thank you," Kathleen said. "I
love having you say things like
that to me, Paul."
She had forgotten completely
that only a short time before,
when with Joe Neely, she bad
used the expression "sentimental
nonsense." ,
Sarcasm
JT WAS one o'clock In the morn
. ing when Jo walked over to
the barn.
"Sorry to Interrupt such a
charming scene," he said, "but
I'm a working man. I have to get
home for some sleep." He smiled
at Kathleen, who edged away
from Paul. "Mind going now?
"Certainly not," Kathleen said.
Tva been wondering what was
keeping you."

Notwithstanding shortages, priorities, restrictions and war. the
Associated Appsrel Manufacturers of Los Angeles are continuing
to Indulge in their annual custom of selecti g a California "Sweater
GizL" ana this yeu the honor falls to Beryl Wallace (above) dancer.
And I," said Joe, "thought you
were coming back to the old tree.
Ruby and I were discussing my
Play-

ot up, held out her
. "Goodnieht. Paul."
she said. "Thanks so much for the
helpful talk. I'm going to be
pretty busy for the next few
days, getting the old farmhouse in
shape for the party but drop by
whenever you feel like it."
"Thanks." said Paul. "I'll do
that Good-night, and good luck."
He turned to Joe. "Same to you,
Neely. When does Ruby expect to
produce your play?"
"We haven't gotten that far,"
said Joe. "Coming, Kathleen?"
Kathleen walked away with
him. "You needn't have bitten the
man's head off," she said, when
thev were getting into the car.
"What man?" said Joe as If
he didn't know,
"Paul, of course. He was only
interested in the play. That's all."
"Maybe. But I didn't like the
sarcasm I detected in his voice."
"That was your imagination,"
said Kathleen. '
"My imagination Is never sar
castic," Joe retorted.
They rode back to town In
silence. But Kathleen's silence
was a pleasant one that is, to
herself. In spite of the strained
relations that had sprung up be
tween her and Joe, her heart was
singing. Matters were certainly
looking up for her and she
wasn't going to worry her head
about Joe and their disagree
ments. Cosy Picture
""yOU and Paul made a cozy pie-
ture sitting with your backs
to the old barn," Joe said,
as he brought the car to a stand
still in front of the Vaughan
residence. 'Terribly cozy and
romantic."
"Really?" said Kathleen. "You
saw us that way because you'd
just made a cozy and romantic
picture with Ruby sitting be
neath the old oak tree."
"Maybe." Joe got out, held the
car door open for Kathleen. "How
about a date one night this week?
Bette Davie is going to be on at
The Galax Theater."
"Sorry. Joe." said Kathleen
"Tm not making any dates. I've
got so much to do digging up
stuff to carry out to the farm for
the party. The place has to be al
most completely done over I
mean cleaned from cellar to
attic."
Working nights?"
Partlv. ves. But I'm ffolne to
do a lot of reading too. I want
to study some parts so's to be
able to show Paul and Ruby that
I nave aDiiiiy."
"Oh, that!"
"Yes, that," said Kathleea
But you needn't take such an
unpleasant tune. I'm not being
unpleasant about you giving so
much time to writing your play."
"No, you're not," said Joe. "But
that's because you're more or less
glad to have me occupied. It
gives you more time to spend
with Paul and Fred."
Kathleen sighed. "It's no use.
Joe," she said. "You will keep
on trying to pick ouarreL I
don't see why we can't go on
acting like adults instead of
children. You have your ambition.
and i nave mine and we snould
be mutually helpful."
"J hat." said Joe. "sounds like
something you'd read in a book."
there you go again, saying
something nasty!" Kathleen
flared. "Good night Joe Im
tired. There's no need standing
here like this, if we're not going
to say something constructive."
"Good night." said Joe. "I wish
to heaven you d stop talking like
a phonograph .record, or some
thing and be yourself."

S'JGAH SHORTAGE
Whan Napoleon was hammering his way through Europe early In the last century, Britain,
then as now, waa blockading tha continent. Very little sugar got through to appease the French
sweet tooth, so the little corporal subsidised beet sugar growers and gave the industry Its start.
Large grants of land and money were handed out to those who would grow the beets, and
numerous factories for reclaiming the sugar content of the roots were put up in France and
Germany.
