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.

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.
