Henry hesitated, frowning a lit
tle. Darn it all, hadn't he had some
sort of an engagement with Julie
yesterday. Better telephone her
at once, take her out to dinner, and
without further parley or beating
about the bush, tell her about his
engagement.
Had he realized to what extent
Julie had deliberately bruited about
among her friends that there was
more in her affair with Henry than
met the eye, and that they would
eventually marry, it wwold nave
been a much harder task to face
her.
For a different reason, it turned
out well-nigh impossible to men
tion the other girl. Julie had been
nevously pacing the floor of her
charming living-room, awaiting his
arrival for jt had taken longer
than he expected to put his tele
phone call through to Virginia, and
no matter whom he kept waiting,
that was all-important!
In the interim, Julie had con
sumed the two stiff cocktails she
had mixed for herself and Henry.
She needed courage. Lots of it
Sensing by his silence as well as his
absence, that he was slipping
her, she must bend all her faculties
to bring him to the point imme
diately, As the doorbell rang, the hard,
shrewd expression on her face
changed, bringing every charm into
play. As she greeted him with a
gay comradeship at the door, Henry
was relieved. He was no student
of feminine psyschology.
"Let's go. No, I don't want a
cocktail. I'm on the wagon. Sorry
I'm late. I've booked a table at the
Casino."
He had not given her the light,
friendly kiss to which she had been
accustomed on such occasions. Nor
hed he remarked, as heretofore:
"Why, Julie, you look like a million
dollars!"
His wish to leave her Apartment
immediately, too, seemed odd. She;
wouldn't give in to that She said:;

ness. "Good, heavens!" thought he
"this isn't an auspicious time to tell
her about Virginia!" And he look
ed sheepish and uncertain.
Her third cocktail downed, and
noticing Henry's; awkwardness,
Julie became more the mistress of
the situation. She saw that Henry
was not wearing the usual white
flower in the lapel of his evening
coat. Flitting gracefully over to a
large bowl of white carnations, she
snipped on off.
"Darling, let me decorate you!
Where is the inevitable pin?" She
felt under his coat lapel, then archly
attached the flower in place. "You
need me to look after you!" Her
face was within four inches of his,
bo what could he do but give her
the kiss she so evidently expected?
But he did it without enthusiasm
as Julie at once realized.
This' confirmed her suspicions!
What had happened in the interim
of their last meeting to make him
so chilly?
Arrived at the Casino, it wasn't
any better, for contrary to his
former habit with her, he had re
served a table right on the edge of
the dance floor. Their entry caused
comment, for they made a very
striking-looking couple. After bow
ing to various friends, they sat
rather glumily together which
was at once noticed and comment
ed on, V:
It was an exquisite night in
Spring. Julie gazed out at the
lamplit trees, the Bhining grass
outside the windows of the terrace.
"Don't you think it's exactly like
Monte Carlo, Henry? You know
those divine gardens directly out
side of the Cafe de Paris and the
Casino? Oh, wouldn't you love to
be there now ? Monte Carlo in the
Spring'! I'd adore it. I can imagine

The unsatisfactory evening ended
without Henry breaking to her the
news of Tiis engagement,
Julie Trevor was on tenter-hooks.
The evening -with Henry hv the

she knew. But it was hard on her
vanity and on her necessity, too
to really believe that he had slipped
away from her. . . . .
Running into George Loom is in
a restaurant, she did her best to
pump him as to what had happened
when he and Henry were down
South ? George proved a'i close as
the proverbial clam. But from other
people she heard various disquiet
ing rumors.
There was a second dinner en
gagement with Henry, principally
of Julie's making. She felt baulked
and disappointed that he brought
that fat Willie Kress along with
him! Was it her fancy, or didn't
Henry seem more pleased than
otherwise over Willie's attachment
for Julie? He kidded her about it
in a brotherly fashion. It almost
seemed as if Henry would not be a
bit hurt were she to transfer her
affections!
The sailing schedule had been Set
for three days earlier. Eager as a
school-boy,' Henry telephoned Vir
ginia, begging the marriage day to
be set forward. '
She consented , to this. And in a
whirl of happiness Henry departed
from New York, entirely forgetting
to notify Julie that he would be un
able to see her on her birthday
which had been a tacit engagement
with them for the past three years.
; His marriage was his own busi
ness his own enchanting secret.
Why should he tell any of the
gang? He dreaded their jokes,
their tactless kidding.
In the train he did think uncom
fortably about Julie once or twice,
for he was far from being heart

SUNDAY The flaps of a side
show open on a woman who tried
to get out of love and who fell
more deeply into it. The glamour
that goes with a typical carnival,
together with the playing of Margo
and Walter, Abel, gives one plenty
of entertainment for one evening.
MONDAY and TUESDAY
Highly emotional drama and hon
est-to-goodness thrills are in store
for filmgoers when they witness
"The House Across The Bay' with
George Raft and Joan Bennett
heading an imposing cast of Hol
lywood topnotchers. This picture
introduces a new romantic team of
Raft and Miss Bennett, and brings
the beauty of Miss Bennett for
ward in one of her most 'varied
roles to date.
""Miss Bennett, looking more rav
ishing than ever, plays a straight
dramatic role and she does it
stirringly and brilliantly. She also
does her first dancing on the
screen.
WEDNESDAY One of the most
engaging personalities in all Hol
lywood is Lloyd Nolan, the popular
star of many action dramas, who
returns to the screen in "Gangs of
Chicago." Modest, unassuming,
quiet, yet friendly, and witty his
sense of humor is one of his great
est assets.
The story deals with a brilliant
bufmisdirected young attorney who
became head of a vast crime or
ganization, but is finally persuad
ed to start life all over again.

telling her of his engagement, but
she had made it well nigh impos
sible for him to do ao.
But his mind couldn't dwell Ions
on Julie, with the beautiful image
of Virginia constantly before him.
In the privacy of his drawing-room
on the train, he would take from
his pocket three jeweler's cases and
open them and finger the string of
pearls he had bought as a wedding
gift for Virginia they would be
lovely around her slender neck
and the square-cut diamond for
their engagement and the simple
platinum band that was to be her
wedding ring.
Although Van Tyle imagined
that he had successfully kept the
news from getting out, the camera
men instantly recognized him at the
dock, and took pictures of him and
his bride at the gangplank and on
the deck. He had difficulty in keep
ing the reporters out of their suite.
Virginia was thrilled, She was im
mensely proud of her . man. None
could be handsomer or kinder or
more wonderful. She laughed over
Henry's reluctance at being photo
graphed. .
As the billion winking eyes of
New York's skyscrapers faded in
the distance, and the waters of the
bay churned behind them, Henry
and Virginia paced the deck in the
moonlight, arm in arm. At a se
cluded end they paused, leaning
over the rail and gazing at the
phosphorscence on the water. They
kissed, whispering love vows to
each other.

On the very afternoon on which
Henry was speeding South to his
Virginia, Julie Trevor dropped into
society's favorite speakeasy of the
moment to meet a woman-friend.
Finding her not yet there, she seat
ages. I've only been hesitating be-
ed herself at a little table in one
corner and ordered a cocktail for
herself.
"All alone, darling?" gargled
Bright Eyes, ever inquisitive, un
dulating across the room with Pre
cious, who also was interested to
learn if there were any new devel
opments in the Henry Van Tyle
Julie Trevor affair. Either one of
them was more than ready to grab

were convinced that he had no in
tention of marrying Julie. It might
be amusing to bait her a little 1
"I'm waiting for someone," said
Julie shortly. Their presence an
noyed her. She knew perfectly
what was in their minds, and must
stall them off.
"I'll buy you a drink," volun
teered Bright Etyes. "I'm in funds.
I got ten dollars this morning pos
ing for ads of coats and suits no
less."
"Not much tax on the brain,"
commented Julie. But she accepted
the second drink and one from
Precious also. The stimulants over
came her uneasiness about Henry.
She told herself that everything
would be all right. Tomorrow was
her birthday, Henry couldn't pos
sibly forget it. They'd be together.
Another little drink and she'd give
him a ring at his office. . .
She ordered a round for herself,
for Bright Eyes and Precious.
When slightly intoxicated they
were much less catty, particularly
as no men were about. Precious
said to her "I adore Henry Van
Tyle, darling. Why do you keep
him dangling? Why not let me
have an inning?"
Bright Eyes added her quota.
She said, quite sweetly; "You look
marvelous together! Everybody
says so. Julie, why don't you bring
him to the point?"
A warm glow through her body
from the cocktails, Julie took a de
cisive step, "He has asked me. You
know he's been mad about me for
cause you know I hated to give
up my freedom. But well " tb
smiled complacently, "You can ex

him over. .
"Tell him what you just said

gurgled excitedly. "Say, Arthur,
here's a great scoop!"
Thought Julie, quickly: "If I tall

it!" Yes, it was a good way of
bringing matters to a climax, evea
if a bit desperate. In her sober

considerably in this fib, but now aha
almost convinced herself that Hen
ry's attentions to her were entirely
serious.
Within five minutes the colmun

that Julie Trevor and Henry Va

Why didn't Henry call? Hadal

It was her birthday, too! No
