Shortly before he departed, it was announced he had accepted an invitation to visit the president of i/enezuela, General Eleazar Lopes Contreras, during his trip. the One flPELfllPE HUMPHRIES WRITTEN FOR AND RELEASED BY CENTRAL PRESS ASSOCIATION;;:: SYNOPSIS Three young airline hostesses, TIBBY LANE, sweet and natural; TEENA WINTERS, beautiful and sophisticated, and MARG BAKER, plain, sturdy and direct, share an apartment to gether in New York, where they are based. A friend of Tibby’s, TOMMY DARE, is spending his first year out of medical school at a clini in Brooklyn. Steena sets her cap for WAYNE COURTWRIGHT, wealthy official of the airline. * * * YESTERDAY: Steena toys with the idea of taking Tommy away from Tibby if Tibby should al low her friendship with Wayne Courtright to become more than an impersonal relationship. CHAPTER FOURTEEN The next time, after a flying lesson, when Courtright suggested that he and Tibby have something to refresh them, she refused. Of course she gave some pretense of an excuse, saying she was sorry, but she had to hurry home. It must have been somewhat flimsy—or her tell-tale color might have be trayed her—for Wayne Courtright knew she had some other reason for refusing. Naturally this served to make him the more determined. He pre tended to be hurt; maybe his mas culine vanity was. He said, “But I thought you agreed that we were friends. Not to have coffee with me, or something, is not being very friendly.” Tibby could not tell him why she had refused. She could not say it was because he had become friends first with Steena. It seemed always to be her role to shield Steena by not revealing her part. Her refusal only served to make Wayne Courtright the more deter mined. Steena, being so clever where men were concerned, would have known that. What she could not know was that Tibby’s not be ing clever—in regard to men—was what appealed to Wayne. He had known too many clever women. He told Tibby with genuine re luctance that he would let her off this time. She did not know that he had another idea in the back of his mind. He had no intention of being put off that easily. Therefore she was indeed sur prised when later that same eve ning Couptright appeared at her door. She was so surprised she stared at him as though she were seeing an apparition. Then she col leted herself hastily, inviting him to come in. “Steena isn’t at home,” she said, for of course, now that her first surprise was diminishing, she real ized he had called to see Steena. He must have been almost as star tled at having Tibby open the door, instead of Steena, as she had been. But he said, his gray eyes amused, “I didn’t call to see Miss Winters. I came to see you—I was driving this way and thought I would bring the books I had prom ised.” He had several books under his arm; now he deposited them on a small table. Apparently he intended to stay awhile after delivering them, for he made himself quite at home by depositing himself on the studio couch. Tibby sat down, too. She said, “That was very nice of you.” But, oh dear, what would Steena have to say about this! Were she to walk in to find Courtright calling on Tibby, even with the excuse of the books, she would not like it one bit, although that was hardly likely as Steena had had an un expected call for some publicity work. “Not at all,” Courtright replied to Tibby’s comment. This had been his idea—as well as the unexpected call that had got Steena out of the way. “If you’d like me to help you some—with the books, I mean, I shall be very happy to.” “That—that’s very nice, too,” Tibby stammered. How could she be rude—or impersonal—when he was being so kind. In a way this went with the lessons; but again Steena would never swallow that. “I will let you know, If I find I need any help,” Tibby added. She hoped that did not sound too stiff and ungrateful. Courtright was looking at her in that searching way of his, as if he were well aware that there- was something back of her attitude, but, as that first time when he had not pressed her to tell, he let it go. “I didn’t know until the other evening,” Courtright said, “that you and Miss Winters were room mates. You girls have a very pleasant place here—very comfort able.” Always before his chauf feur had rung the bell when he had called to take Steena out. He looked now as if he found it so comfortable he meant to come in side again. Tibby felt that this was the place where she should say something about his having been friends with Steena first. But how could she say it? Courtright did not look like a man who could be told whom he might call on and whom he might not. He was not, as far as Tibby knew, bound in any way to Steena, so he well might think it ridiculous for her to object to his friendship with other girls. Tibby said, “Yes, we live togeth er. We have another roommate, too. Margaret Baker.” She felt she still sounded stiff and ungrateful. She was sitting on the edge of her chair, as if ready to pop up as soon as he made a move to go. She knew she ought to relax and at tempt the role of gracious hostess, instead of this unwelcome one that had been forced upon her. If he felt he was not being treat ed very graciously Wayne Court right gave no evidence. “I thought maybe you’d like to take a drive,” he said, “It’s really much too pleasant an evening to remain in doors. “Oh. I couldn’t do that!” Tibby realized her reply had come too quickly. Her color deepened. “Ii mean. I’m sorry—and it’s very nice of you—but I really couldn’t —not tonight.’’ This still had a hol low ring. It needed something to bolster it up. Apparently there was no reason why she could not go, except that she did not care to. “Some other time then,” Court right suggested. He seemed disap pointed, but not rebuffed. Tibby was saved the necessity of replying to this, for at that mo ment a bolster arrived to back her up. At least that was the way she felt when the doorbell rang again, ] especially as when she opened the door this time it revealed young Dr. Dare in person. She welcomed him almost too ef fusively. “Why. Tommy—come on in!” She all but dragged him into the room, giving him both her hands. She had not seen him since the night they had gone to a movie DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1. Lizard 5. Rodent 9 Source of indigo 10 Verbal 11.

But anyone, witnessing her greet ing now—and his responding wide grin—would have thought she had been sitting on the edge of her chair ever since, just waiting for him to come again. Certainly Tommy had not antici pated such a royal reception, al though his grin faded some as Tibby introduced him to Wayne Courtright. She did not explain who this other man was, but Tom my had an immediate suspicion that his being here had something to do with the way she had greet ed him. Tibby sat down on the edge of her chair again. What had looked like a bolster might, she realized now, turn into a boomerang. She had not wanted Courtright and Tommy to meet—because of the flying lessons. Courtright was sure to mention them. Tommy would wonder why Tibby hadn’t. It would not help the constraint that had been between them ever since the night Tommy had proposed, only to withdraw his proposal almost immediately. She tried to start a neat round of animated small talk. Anything would do, the weather, the newest musical comedy. But it was not too successful. Neither of her call ers showed much interest, beyond a polite response, in musical com edies or climatic conditions. You would think Courtright would go, but he must have been much too comfortable. Tommy wore a grim expression, as if he, too, were a fixture. Maybe each meant to sit the other one out. Tibby was afraid it was going to be a long, painful evening. 2 (To Be Continued) ■-V Americans To Transfer From Canadian Army WASHINGTON, May 3.— <-T) The War department announced to day that a joint Army-Navy-Marine corps board would leave here tomor row for Canada to effect the trans fer of a number of American citi zens and former citizens from the Canadian to the United States armed forces. The American delegation, headed by Brigadier General Guy V. Henry of the Army, will be joined by a Canadian board at St. John, New Brunswick, for a tour which will take them throughout the Dominion. The War department emphasized that transfers are voluntary and that the applicants must meet the standards required by the Army and Navy before being accepted. The board may immediately, enlist or commission men found acceptable. -V Laval Desires Peace With U. S. Government I LONDON, May 3.—<-P)—The Ger man controlled newspaper Petit Parisien reported today that Pierre Laval, chief of government at j Vichy, in taking leave of United : States Ambassador Admiral William D. Leahy, declared: “France will not initiate a rupture of relations with the United States.” In turn, Admiral Leahy was said to have declared the United States does not want to break off relations with France.
