' NOW GO ON WITH THB (TORT CHAPTER XII FR two months Linda bad pent the days alnce her ar rival in Hollywood Bitting with her feet on the pulled-out drawei ot her desk, idly reading old crlpta. At lunchtlme aha had found a secluded table in the Commonwealth lunch-room, then wandered over the lota, watching the making of pictures and go ing back to write gay little letters to Pete In which she pictured her self aa Alice la Wonderland. Btu dlo life was fascinating to watch, but Linda had been bored. Then came that fateful day ot the conference. Linda had been Invited out of courtesy. Direc tors, producers and writers had met to discuss the falling stars, the pictures that were not good "box-offlce," and ont ot It all had come one suggestion from the un known Linda Bourne, And a fall ing star bad become once more a brilliant possibility. - . Linda was no longer bored. The atudto had bought Myron's "Life ot Keats' and they were already at work on the picture for Cooper Venell. Linda was famous. Miracle girl, they called "her. But, by thia time, Linda was no longer surprised by Hollywood. And In a little time she forgot it hadn't been her own idea that she had only said what Pete had written. She had long since thrown away the telegram from Pete. She ac cepted her Increased' salary aa eaally as she accepted her more to the executive offices and the services ot a secretary. When they brought her a copy of her original script, which Pete had sold to Honey Harmon almost half a year before, Linda thought . the plot waa really her own. It there waa a third character that " Pete had written into It, long be fore In the Blade office, Linda didn't remember and Pete had never told her what he had done. VfTHEN Linda made the first " speech that made her famous In moviedom that day ahe took several rounds ot the ladder ot ' success at once, but when, three months later, lunching casually with Hogarth Jamea who had played English character parts for the past Ave years, she sug gested that he had a kind of men ace in bis kindly face that was exactly right for a series of new , mystery stories, she waa made I -She forgot that Pete Gardiner had pointed this ont to her after a movie they had seen together at the Palace at Newtown. It wasn't lonely for Linda Is Hollywood after that She had moved from the hotel to an apart ment house, bought herself a modest car, and, like everyone else in Hollywood, went to the , moviea, . , A young woman with power and Linda had power since shf waa credited with "discoveries" need not have feared lonell- ' ness. Linda could be useful and . she was attractive. . She was chic. She learned to dress well. Any old hat and knitted things didn't go. In Hol lywood the fashion waa sports clothes and evening clothes, and Linda's tailored white tweed, her broad-shouldered, slim-h i p p e d tallleurs, her fresh violets, white or deep purple, which she always wore, her Paris-made evening frocks were distinguished where all clothes were beautiful. Her soft, clipped voice and her digni fied bearing were often unkind contrast to her sensational sisters in the picture colony. Plcturs people wanted to know Linda foi herself, as well as for what she could do for them. . SHE spent money recklessly on clothes. She bought a good car, not because she wanted to create an Impression but because she liked to drive a good car. She gave parties. They were small and Intimate. Dinners for four or six, at the most, and never for two, Sundays she was "at home" from 4 to 7, serving a discreet nnmber of cocktails and excellent food. It became smart to be in vited to a Bourne Sunday after noon. Linda knew the stars, the im portant directors, the producers, She went to the lights, the foot ball games, to Palm Springs and Arrowhead for week-ends. Shs spoke a few words into the "mike" at the important openings at Sid Oraumann's Chinese Tbea-! ter. She became a celebrity auiuug ctueDriues, ana sue sun wrote to Pete, but her letters grew less frequent and told him more than she thought Pete knew he bad lost her, and pride kept him from intruding Into the life ahe had made for herself. Pete put himself Into his play. And one day it was done and he lent it to New York. Linda was in Hollywood 18 months before she met Basil Thorne. Not that she didn't know him by name. Or by reputation. Thorne was the director who had made the great money-making musicals. His pictures had brought a new medium to picture making. Extravagansaa, they were like tholr creator. Dastllng, gargan tuan, filled with contrasts, roman tic, worldly and Incredible. LINDA met Basil Thorne at Honey Harmon's bungalow at Mallbu. She drove down' with Cora Jarrett, editor ot a movie fan magailne. "Maybe you'll like htm, and maybe you won't Moat women do," Cora, apeaklng ot Thorne, said to Linda. "It would be hard to describe him. I don't know whether he Is a cad or a gentle man. I don't even know whether he la ugly or handsome. He's that kind. Most women are crasy about him, but maybe It's just Hollywood. He Is having a cycle of blonda now." "Cycle ot blondst" Linda asked, "Yes, When he first came it waa the Dietrich type. Then he went in for gamins. Then he took the sophisticated ladles In his stride, so to speak, but now it'a blonds. Must I say more?" "Yon might mention one," Lin da answered. "Honey Harmon." "Oh Honey, my patroness! " "Your ftojtett, will do," Cora answered. "We all know Honey bought your first script but don't let her get the idea that ahe has anything to do with your suc cess. Honey haa a way ot mak ing unexpected use ot any little thing ahe thinks belongs to her. Incidentally, ahe thinks Thorne be longs to her. I thought I'd tell you Just in case " "I remember someone who he longed to me once and ahe wasn't above appropriating him." "In Hollywood?" Cora asked. "No." Linda answered briefly. "Just what I thought I You've been out here a couple ot years and I havent heard about a sin gle romance, Linda. Ia it this someone back east?" "It Isn't anybody at all. No romances. All work." Linda wanted Cora to get her mind off the subject Cora waa a Holly woodite and she could nea any Information herself. Not that Linda had any to give her. There had been no romance In her life, unless she counted Pete, and after so many montha that waa so remote that Linda forgot most ot the things she thought she would always remember about him. She thought ot him now, and missed him suddenly. Not because he waa Pete, but because she waa a girl and ahe had no one to love. And then ahe met Basil Thorne. XTo Be Continued) HEAPFORD JUNCTION, Wis May 21. (. A speedy reply to an appeal for financial aid today as sured the widow of Eugene Field, the poet, that her picturesque re sort estate would not be lost through a mortgage foreclosure. Her son, Eugene Field II, said be believed bis mother would ac cept the "splendid offer" of the New York alumni chapter of Phi Delta Theta to advance 13,000 needed to satisfy a judgment against the 165-acre estate. Mrs. Field had Invested her savings, about 160.000 in the place. Flerd was a Phi Delta Theta. Hearing on conformation of the foreclosure sale waa scheduled for Saturday. 1 The fraternity's of fer came a few hours before Jesse P. Henry, chairman of a. civic committee restoring Field's boy hood home in St. Louis, notliied the 80-year-old widow. 111 with heart disease, that he bad ap pealed to President Roosevelt for aid in her oenaii. - Assistance from the St. Louis group also was promised, the poet s son said. The machine-like removal of hats in elevators on which women are passengers has ' become meaningless gesture, aa futile It is foolish, making men an ob ject of derision even among our selvescausing strong men to cringe and women to titter. u. 8.
