HENDERSON. (N. C.) DAIDT DISPATCH, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, -t 538 :
KKAT3 THIS FIRST:
By winning a SSOO slogan contest,
Alix Carey earns a promotion in the
advertising agency where she is em
ployed and enlists the personal Interest
of John Sayre, young president of the
agency, whom she secretly admires
Coming to New York following her
parents' death, she has made close
friends of Kathleen Crosby and her
cousin. Kim Preston. Alix and Sayre
begin to mix business and pleasure.
They play golf and he invites her to
a house party. There she is surprised
to find one Carola Cushing acting as
Sayre’s hostess and is mortified when
Bha overhears Carola belittling her to
another guest. John apologizes for
Carola’s remarks, and kisses Alix in
the garden. At her request he takes
a bracelet from Carola to have it re
made for her birthday. Carola tiles
to become friendly with Alix before
the latter leaves the house party ahead
of the other guests, pleading an en
gagement. Suspecting that John cares
for Carola. Alix avoids seeing him and
meanwhile entertains her old Sweet
heart, Bill Boyd, who is visiting New
York. Then Alix finds John wfuting
for her at her apartment. Alix begins
to see John frequently but he does
not makj love to her. She finds Cerola
in the role of hostess again at a din
ner party he is giving for 20.
fNOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
CHAPTER 18
“TAKE THE bank holiday.
Hoover said a move like that would
ruin the country.” That ceaseless
voice of the strange man at Alix’s
right bleated on and she con
tinued to give it her attentive
smile but she didn’t listen. She
wished that John Sayre’s dinner
v/as over and she were far and
away.
There was no getting away then.
After dinner there was backgam
mon. The voice with the bank
holiday trouble cornered Alix and
she submitted to the game that
she thought stupid.
Carola and John were playing
ping-pong for the gallery. Nothing
could have made Alix a part of
that gallery.
They came back to the drawing
room flushed and laughing. They
shared so much that closed Alix
out!
At 11, Carola said, “I've got to
leave, I promised to go on to the
Merivales. They’re having a party
of some sort for Trudy. Good
night, all.” She left.
Then the others moved to leave.
So did Alix. She put on her velvet
wrap and joined them in the foyer.
“I’m taking you home,” John
said for her alone to hear.
“Please don’t bother.”
“When are you going to learn
to take orders?” he asked in a
fierce whisper.
, She returned to the drawing
room. This was the first time she
was alone in it. It was a huge
room with rich dark browns, with
purple and warm wine reds, with
a touch of light in the faded rose
of the tapestries.
It was a man’s room, this room
with the great hearth, so big that
it dwarfed the twin lounges cov
ered in magenta silk that flanked
■St on either side. Everything in the
room was big, rich, subdued rather
than opuler ' Alix wished that she
might have seen into the other
rooms.
“Like it?” Sayre stood in the
doorway.
■ “Yes,” she said, inspecting it
frankly as he had done in her small
place. “Os course, it’s a little large
but I think it’s quite as nice as
mine.”
“Yours has an advantage this
hasn’t.”
“Let me see,” Alix put a
thoughtful finger to her brow,
“could it be . . . could it be . . .**
“Yours has you,” he said.
John!” She just looked at
him.
He lived at Fifty-seventh street
and Sutton place. Alix lived at
Fifty-fifth street, directly around
the corner from Sutton place.
“Can’t we walk?” she said when
they were going down in the ele
vator.
“On a January night with five
inches of snow on the ground?
What about those little gold
shoes?”
Alix lifted the hem of her gown
to expose the slippers that were
but soles and straps.
His town car was at the entrance
of the fashionable apartment
house.
“My,” she said, “but this is lux
ury. To drive two blocks in a
Rolls.” She sank cozily into the
deep cushioned seat. The armrest
had been removed.
John Sayre dropped his arm
across the seat above her shoul
ders. She felt it there. She felt
Colossus Proves Jonah
Story or Does She
While the cavernou mouth of a
whale could have easily accomodated
Jonah there is still another side to
the ptory acc rdirg to the agent who
is here in Hondo? son arranging to
exhibit a monster 68 ton whale.
“A whale,” says the agent, “can
take into their mouth up to a thous
and pounds of fish at one time, but,”
he added, “they must all be little
ones.” A whale’s throat is so small it
would choke on a grapefruit.
Captain David Barnett veteran
whaling commander who is in charge
of the 30 lectures who explain this
curious 55 foot monster, has shown a
thousand or more audiences that it
is impossible for him to shove his
fist into the throat of colossus.

his eyes on her, felt herself turn
toward him and then his arms
were around her, pressing him to
her tenderly.
She could have moved away
from him gently, turned her face
from his. She could have smiled
and said something about the
party.
She could have done any of these
things if she hadn’t been straining
toward him, caught in her own de
sire.
She lifted her face to his and
tried to speak, to ask him not to
kiss her. He kissed her before she
could speak.
His lips were cool on her own
moist mouth. Her heart knocked
against her ribs, sending the blood
all through her to beat like a flut
tering bird in the fingertips that
pressed him away from her.
“Oh, don’t! Please don’t!” Her
voice had a sob in it.
“Why not?” His voice was in
credibly low, incredibly tender.
She couldn’t tell him any rea
sons. She couldn’t say, “Please
don’t play with my heart.”
When she didn’t answer, he drew
away and said, “Sorry," a trifle
stiffly.
Then she wanted to put her
arms around him as though he
were a little boy. She wanted to
tell him not to be sorry, that she
only wanted him to be happy. She
knew that her silence was drawing
them apart but she couldn’t speak.
He got out of the car at her door
and gave her his hand. She
reached for it and dropped her
purse. Change, a comb, her com
pact tumbled out of it.
They bumped their heads reach
ing for the spilled things and then
they both laughed.
“Not angry?” he said.
“Os course not,” her tones had
some of the tenderness of his.
“Good.”
“It’s too late for you to come
up,” she said at the door. “Thank
you for having me to your party.”
“Thank you for coming.” He
didn’t release her hand. “Thank
you for so much, Alix.’j
She took her hand from his and
walked away.
She would have liked to sit up in
her big chair before the hearth and
bring out the pieces of that eve
ning. She had a feeling that the
key to her whole situation now
and in the future was to be found
there.
But there was no wood for the
hearth and the steam pipes were
cold. The apartment was bitter
cold. The winter wind howled / dis
mally as it tore past the House
from the river.
She took off her eowti. undress-
His lips were cool and firm.

ing quickly in the chill, and got in
bed under a down quilt. She
wanted to think then, to find the
thing that evaded her but the soft
warmth lulled her to sleep before
she could find it.
Later, it was lost.
The morning came,, bitter, overv
cast with a promise of more snow.
Alix hated the bitter, uncompro
mising cold. She turned up the fur
collar of her coat, stuck her wool
en-covered fingers into her pocket#
and stepped gingerly down the
sleet-covered steps of her apart
ment.
There was a taxi at the corner
but it was nearing the end of the
week and her means didn’t permit
a taxi to the office.
She bent her head to meet the
wind that nearly took her off her
feet as she headed north on Sut
ton place to where she could catch
a bus at the corner of Fifty
seventh street.
It was colder at th_ bus stop.
She shivered miserably in her
warmest tweeds but the cold
turned her nose pink and bit at
her tender skin.
She still looked half-frozen when
she arrived at the office.
“Nice day to be at Palm Beach.”
she said to the girl at the recep
tion desk.
“What was the matter with your
town car this morning?” the girl
said.
Alix gave her a swift, startled
glance and decided it was merely
a coincidence that she had men
tioned a town car.
It made her think of Carola’s
request the night before to borrow
the big car in which she had driven
home after the party.
Carola, three hours later, sitting
in that car on her way to a mati
nee, found her idle glance arrested
by something small, gold and
gleaming. She reached down and
picked up a compact.
She read the initials in the cor
ner. The small letters were A. C.
She stared at it reflectively for
a few moments while her lips
tightened. Then she put it in her
pocketbook.
It was Alix Carey’s compact.
Therefore, Alix Carey must have
been in the car.
“Stop at the drug store please,”
she said to John’s chauffeur.
She wrapped her mink coat
around her while she stood in line
waiting for a telephone booth.
Then she dialed the number of
Sayre-Coulton Advertising Agency.
“Let me speak to Miss Alix
Carey,” she said to the operator.
