SYNOPSIS Three young airline hostesses, TIBBY LANE, sweet and natural; STEENA 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 clinic in Brooklyn. Steena sets her cap for WAYNE COURTRIGHT, wealthy official of the airline. * * * YESTERDAY: After Tibby coldly dismisses Tommy, Steena tells him that maybe SHE will wel come his advice some day. CHAPTER EIGHTEEN Wayne Courtright had been right when he had told Tibby over the phone that he would find that her friend, Marg Baker, had become “quite a heroine.” He had been right, too, when he had said she would read about it in the morn ing papers. There was a picture of Marg— and one of Captain Mercer—on the front page. “Only, of course, it doesn’t do her justice,” Tibby •com. mented loyally. “But just look what it says about her, Steena! ‘Due credit is attributed to t h e stewardess’,” Tibby read, “’f o r her steady nerve and calm forti tude. Captain Mercer said that Miss Baker was responsible for maintaining order and keeping up the spirits of the passengers until the -rescue planes arrived. This must have been no easy task, as by the time help came, the weight of the ship having broken through the ice, water stood knee deep inside the cabin. The protruding wings kept the big plane from go ing under, but no one knew how much longer they could take this strain.’ It must have been awful!” Tibby stopped reading to exclaim. I don t suppose it was exactly a comfortable spot to be in,” Steena admitted. “I don’t envy Marg the experience, even if she is a heroine now. Most chivalrous of Captain Mercer to give her so much glory, don’t you think? Most men prefer to hog it all them selves, but evidently the captain admires Marg as much as she ad mires him—and you know how she raves on and on about him. I must say,” she finished, picking up the paper, ‘‘that HIS picture does him justice. He’s not bad looking at all —if you like that stocky, sturdy type.” She put the paper down again, with a slight shrug that seemed to dismiss the type for her. Then she added, significantly, “I wonder what the captain’s wife will have to say to all this?” ‘What* could she say?” Tibby spoke more sljarply than she had meant to, but that was such an uncalled for remark. Tibby did not think that Marg raved “on and on” about Captain Mercer; she merely admired his ability as a pilot, an admiration that appeared warrant ed now. Steena shrugged again. "Nothing —or lots of things,” she said. “She may not be as generous as her husband, as anxious to give Marg all the spotlight. From what I hear, she is the sort of person who likes the center of the stage all to herself.” "Aren’t you talking in riddles?” Tibby suggested. She thought Steena enjoyed dramatizing things too much. She knew, of course, what she meant—that Mrs. Mer cer might be jealous of the praise Captain Mercer had bestowed on Marg; some wives were like that, about their husbands’ secretaries or any 'other women who were thrown into contact with them. “Maybe,” Steena admitted. “But as I said before—I don’t en vy Marg her new position as a heroine. Sometimes it’s wiser to keep out of the spotlight, you know. I tried to tell Marg that—when I told her she ought not be seen with Captain Mercer when off duty.” “But that was only that one time,” Tibby objected. “That’s what YOU think!” Steena retorted. “Do you mean there has been more talk?” Tibby remembered what Steena had said about there being a grapevine system that spread all gossip around the field, often distorting the bare truth by embroidering it to much larger proportions. Maybe Steena was not imagining it all. “I mean that Marg had darned well better watch her step.” If Steena knew anything more defi nite than rumors, she evidently did not mean to pass it on just then. “You will recall that I told her that before. And that Marg lost her temper. She may lose more than that if she’s not more care ful. She’s a very foolish girl to have ANYTHING to do with a married man.” Tibby felt rather sick, because she also felt certain that Steena did know something or she would not speak as she just had, with such certainty. “Marg has to fly with Captain Mercer.” she defend ed her friend as best she could.; "They are scheduled for the same j flights.” “Marg could ask for a change in schedule,” Steena said dryly. “If she were half as smart as she thinks she is, that’s what she would do.” Tibby did not make any com ment to that. If there were any rumors floating around that could be magnified, or if Marg had been seeing Captain Mercer when of f duty, even if there was some ex planation, that would be the wise thing to do. It would be very fool ish, as Steena had said, to con tinue as hostess on the same flight schedule, if Marg or Captain Mer cer found they felt any personal interest in one another. The com pany, as Steena also had mention ed before, would not stand for it although that was not, to Tibby’s mind, the most important issue. Marg would get hurt again, for nothing good could possibly come from such an interest—only unhap piness, possibly real trggedy. However, she would not believe any rumors, even if they reached her in concrete form. She would believe in Marg herself and her good common sense—if common sense could be counted on when you fell In love, if you could know, yourself, when that would i happen. Tibby told herself that she was the one imagining and dra matizing now. When Marg came home, Tibby would be reassured that everything was all right. Marg was so straightforward and honest that she could not be doing DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1 Performs 5 Persian coin 8 To shout 11 Smell 12 Large artery 13 Oppressive 14 Firmament 15 Greek letter 1' Militia labbr ) 18 Pronoun 19 Fruit of the oak 21 French article 22 One who smelts ore 4 Drunkard 5 Highest card 6 Ray 7 Black smith's block 8 Fashion 10 Bundles 11 Brief 10 Cavity 19 Units of electrical current 20 Disregard 22 Smudge 23 To cook meat 24 Fabulous bird 25 Expression of disgust 27 Insect egg 28 Half ems 30 Dressed, as feathers 32 Hint 34 Right or left of army 35 Expression of regret 36 Mother iSp i 38 Worship 39 Abounding in news iTIAl£|l |T| 5EOr E |MO£A E PUNKji Yesterday'* Answer 41 Heavenly body 43 Jewish month 45 Decay 47 Snare 24 To muss 26 Departed 29 S-shaped motdings 30 Distinct 31 Scorch 32 Tufts 33 Ruminate 35 Part of “to be" 37 Ice particles 38 Indefinite article 40 Escape i slang i 42 Beard of rye 43 Any fruit juice 44 Emblazon 46 Furnish 48 Shepherd’s staff 49 Darlings 50 County in England 51 Three, at cards DOWN 1 Floating In water 2 Smother 3 A con servative CRYPTOQl’OTE—A cryptogram quotation G SAXGCGTV succxccwut wc jcx axcc kwvlujv g munogqx — cxtxmg. Yesterday's Cryptoquote: THERE IS NO FORTUNE SO GOOD THAT YOU CAN FIND NOTHING IN IT TO COMPLAIN OF— SYRUS Distributed by King Features Syndicate. Inc. '•? -— ' underhanded things, even small ones like breakfasting with Cap tain Mercer, without a reasonable explanation; she could not be in terested in or in love with some one without betraying it. Tibby took what comfort she could out of this, but she resolved, just the same, to let out some kind of hint that it might be just as well for Marg to try to get a change in her flying schedule. Maybe Marg would not like it. She had lost her temper that ti m e when Steena had done pretty much the same thing, only Steena had lost hers, too. Tibby would be more tactful, since she was so very fond of Marg and would only be trying really to help her, although maybe Marg did not want help from any one. Certainly Marg did not look as if she needed any, when she came home. Tibby had never seen her looking better, as if the harrowing experience she had been through had given her new vitality, as though her role of heroine en dowed her with a new radiance. Or was it something else, some thing that went much deeper, that gave Marg this sort of bloom, causing her plain face to have come alive, even her brown hair to hold a sheen of loveliness? It is said, Tibby remembered, that only a woman in love and be loved looks like that, since love alone can add such luster, al though couldn’t it come just from BEING alive, when you had come so close to death? Of course it could; Tibby was allowing her imagination and the effect of Steena’s words to run riot. She said, “Oh, Marg, it’s so good to have you back! I’m so PROUD of you, darling!” She wanted Marg to know that she would al ways be proud of her, always find it good to have her friendship. Marg gave her a bear-iike squeeze in response. “It’s good to be back,” she said. “You don’t realize how good, until you come close to not making it, although there was not much doubt with Captain Mercer as pilot. As for your being proud of me, honey, that’s the bunk. Captain Mercer is the one who deserves all credit. Oh, Tibby, he’s so wonderful! There's no one like him. No one else could have done what he did. Such a man!” “I’m sure he is, Tibby said, but her heart sank to her shoes. There was absolutely no doubt about it. Marg was in love. There was much more than admiration in her tone, respect for an able pilot. It was all there in her face for anyone to see—that she had given her heart to this man whose praises she sang. 4 (To Be Continued) -V British Destroyer Jaguar Reported Lost LONDON.
