W.M.F.D. 12:15 to 12:30 MONDAYS Thru FRIDAYS * SYNOPSIS Three young airline hostesses, TIBBY LANE, sweet and natural STEEN WINTERS, beautiful anc sophisticated, and MARG BAKER, plain, sturdy ami 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 clinic in Brooklyn. Steena sets her cap for WAYNE COURTRIGHT, wealthy official of the airline * * * YESTERDAY: Steena comes home and joins Tibby and Tommy in waiting for news of the downed plane on which Marg was hos tess. CHAPTER XVI There was no denying now that there was tension in the little apartment, but it was the tension of anxiety. Waiting is always a strain, so that now, although there were three of them to share it— Tommy. Steena and Tibby—it was not lightened. After a while, Steena said she be lieved she would change, if they would excuse her a few minutes. This last with one of her rare smiles for the young doctor. “I’m never comfortable in uniform,” she explained. “Somehow I don’t feel like a woman.” Tibby wondered how she could care how she felt or how she look ed when Marg was in such grave danger, but were Steena herself in a crack-up she probably would be concerned as to her appearance. It was not due to heartlessness on Steena’s part; it wras just the fas tidiousness that went with being so beautiful. Steena had looked attractive enough in her uniform—womanly enough, too—but when she reap peared, wearing a lovely satin housecoat of sea green, a matching ribbon in her gorgeous hair, it was easy to see what she had meant by her remark, for now she looked positively alluring. Had she gotten herself up like that just for Tommy? Tibby won dered. And then was ashamed at such a shoddy thought. Steena could not have helped spreading her feathers, like a peacock, had the only male in the vicinity been the janitor. Nevertheless, the effect was not wasted on Dr. Dare, as was quite evident from the way his eyes ap proved the change in costume. He even said, "I don’t like women in uniforms, either. I quite agree with you, Steena, that there’s some thing, well, manish about the best of them. "Not,” he added with that gallantry that Tibby had noted he always brought out for Steena's benefit, "that you—or Tibby—could ever be mistaken for a man.” He got another smile from Steena for this, but Tibby did not think this was the time for fancy speeches. Besides, he had included her only to be polite. She said, "Suppose I make some coffee?” That would help put in this dread ful waiting. It might help them to keep awake, for soon it would be midnight. It must have been around nine-thirty, a quarter of ten maybe, when they had heard that first news flash. Two or three hours ago—surely something more would be heard soon. Without doubt the plane’s radio hadbeen put out of use in that forced land ing, but rescue ships had started out at once. , “That’s a good idea.” Steena set tled herself and the wid' spread of her shimmering green gown, in a low chair, tilting back her lovely head, as if suddenly weary. “I could do with some coffee. This publicity business isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I had to stand for hours. And those lights they focus on you hit you right in the eye and practically blind you, besides giv ing off so much heat that you sizzle as well—it’s really hard work, pos ing.” Young Dr. Dare said he imagin ed it would be, although his tone seemed to indicate that he consid ered that sort of thing more suit able for a girl than flying. Tibby supposed it was not all fun, but she knew that Steena got a big kick out of doing it, since it was, as Marg had said, right up her al ley. Steena always remembered she was tired if there was any thing to be done in the way of household duties, although maybe that was a low dig, too, Tibby conceded as she made the coffee, unassisted, and raided the icebox to see what she could find to offer with it. When you were a great beauty, as Marg said, you did not have to be useful. Oh, why would she keep thinking of all the things Marg said—her dear, funny way of put ting them so straight and pat. What if she never could say them any more . . . what if Marg had been seriously hurt—or worse? People were not usually just in jured in a crack-up. They were much more likely to be killed out right, as Tibby was too well aware. Or in this case drowned, or dead— when found—from exposure. “No phone call yet?’’ she asked, coming back into the livingroom, bearing the tray with cups and saucers and a plate of hastily-con trived sandwiches. She did not see how she could go on like this much longer. Not knowing was almost worse than knowing the worst—if it had to be that. Steena shook her head. Tommy jumped up, looking rather guilty because he had just been grinning widely at something Steena had said, so that now, seeing Tibby’s white face and hearing the anx iety in her voice, he did feel guilty. “I could phone Wayne,” Steena suggested. “Of course I know he dislikes being called at his office. But this is different. And he says it depends, too, upon WHO calls him.” Her tone held assurance that a call from her never would be unwelcome. Tommy still could not get this other man placed. Was he a friend of Tibby’s—that gooaby scene had registered friendship, the way he had held Tib’s hand and gazed down into her eyes—yet from oth er hints that had got into the open he appeared to be more a friend of Steena’s. Tibby said. "I don’t believe I would—if I were you I know he will phone just as soon as there is any news.” She said it so quietly, yet so positively, that Steena glanced at her sharply. “Was Wayne here long?” she in quired. “Not very.” He had been there DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1.

What was more important, Wayne must have known that Steena would not be home at all! All publicity calls came direct from his office. Tibby did not offer any com ment on this—or the other unasked questions in Steena’s eyes. She was, of course, occupied in pour ing and serving the coffee. “He surely acted as if he hated to tear himself away—in spite of his rush.” Tommy continued to present the picture as it had ap peared to him—and to make mat ters worse, instead of better, ac cording to Tibby’s way of seeing it. “Who is he, anyway, besides a big shot in the company?” Now he would get this man placed once and for all. “He’s a VERY special friend of mine,” Steena enlightened him, with a note of emphasis, which, no doubt, was a reminder to Tibby that she was the one who was not supposed to forget who Wayne Courtright was. “He’s THE Wayne Courtright, famous flyer—I sup pose you know he’s giving Tibby lessons—millionaire, man about—” “Lessons!” Tommy was learning a thing or two, but not what he had expected. “Yes, although why anyone should want to learn to fly is more than I can understand. When there’s no REASON, I mean.” Steena modified her flat statement. “Unless you own your own plane, for instance.” Or unless a person had some ulterior motive, she might have added. Tibby answered this unasked question. “Couldn’t you want to learn just for the fun of it? For the wonderful sense of power and freedom?” So she was learning to fly! Tom my thought Tib might have told him. But before anyone could say more, the phone rang. Both Steena and Tibby reached for it. 2 (To Be Continued) -V Two Men Take Exams For Officers’ School William Miles Mansfield. 2206 Chestnut street, and Charles David White, of Audubon, Tuesday were given final physical and intelli gence examinations at Fort Bragg to enlist for the Officers’ Candi date school.
