Duckett, owner. ,,J-f Wextrrn Union back, like a nice boy, and tell me how jt came that you were out so late this evening?" Oh, the usual Saturday night in town. Dinner with another fellow. And then a show. A dull show. Most shows are flops these days. And then on to the Mayfair Club. That's always interesting." Lucinda sat up, her eyes shining. "You mean the Saturday night party in the Ritz where the actors and. actresses and the movie people meet? And you have to be a mem ber to get in? Oh, tell me about it. My sister and I have some times stood outside on Saturday night just to get a glimpse of the stars. There are always people On the sidewalk then. Autograph hunters." "But you aren't one of them?" He seemed faintly surprised. Lucinda said: "Please tell me about this fascinating night-club!" The young man smiled at her eager face. Enthusiastic child! Could it be possible that anyone so pretty and alluring could be so un spoiled? Or was she spoofing him? "It's held in the Crystal Room, and quite a pretty scene. There's the red-carpeted staircase going down, you know, with banks of flowers on either side. Offers a grand stage-entry for the actress es. They love it." "Only actresses can go there?" Her face fell. "No. The social lights crowd n to stare at the theatrical crowd, and vice -versa. You can't be a member unless you're on the stage or screen. But you can usually get in on the acquaintance and pass of some actor chap, or if your're with an actress. As a mat ter of fact, the secretaries are very strick. It's almost necessary to get in with a member." "And what do you do when you do get in?" "The usual tihingv Dancing, Grand music. Buffet supper." She added: "And flirting with the stars, of course?" She forced her self to inquire, for it seemed su perfluous with a rich and handsome boy like this; "You know lots of them?" Her wistful tone was not lost on him. "Well, everyone who knocks around the town sooner or later meets most people, don't they?" He added: "Look here, I'll take you there one night. You'll knock most of the so called beauties into a cocked hat . for looks. Wouldest like to make the grand entrance with me, fair Lucinda?" She beamed like a little girl. Then her face Clouded. "But I haven't got the clothes. I mean, they dress so magnificently." Then her forehead smoothed out as a thought came. "Maybe Bubble could sneak a dress out of Berg man-Jay's for me one night. We're the same size. Bubble models there. She's my sister." "You have pretty feet, Lucinda," he said with apparent irrelevance.

She curled one bare foot under her. "Are you as charming as all that?" "I couldn't help being charming to you if you'd allow me?" She thought: "In my place Bub bles would leap at this thance. He's evidently got money to bum. But I'd hate for him to think, even for a minute, that I'm a gold digger." She said nervously: "I think I'd better go. Suppose anyone walked in? How on earth could I ex plain why I'm here?" "Nonsense, Lucinda. Sit still, while I fix you another highball. Contrary to what you many think, I've seldom had the aesthetic pleas ure of gazing at anything so beau tiful, at this 'witching hour," in this room." Her gaze traveled to the delicately-wrought French nudes on the walls. "You don't seem so lonely " "Pretty good, aren't they? I got them in that antique shop at the corner of the Rue de Grenelle the last time I was over in Paris. You know it?" "I've been nowhere except Coney Island, more or less." He grinned. "Then we'll have to make it more." He added soda water to the Scotch and brought it over to her. He sat down be side her on the bearskin rug. He touched his glass to the one he had just given her. He said: "I like you, Lucinda." "Ouch! That's terribly strong. That would take the varnish off the floor if I spilled it!" she pro tested. "Try again. It'll thaw you out. What's the harm in putting up the temperature a little. Lucinda?" But she was firm. It was all very well to drink with the picnic gang, whom she knew so well, but "quite another pair of shoes," (as the French say) to consume hard liquor at four in the morning entirely alone with a stranger. She had to jerk herself back to common sense, because he was so very likeable. "All right. All right. -Diluted it shall be." He rose and went over to the little table. He filled her glass with soda to the top, handed it to her with a bow, and went back to the armchair beside the refresh ment table, flinging himself rather carelessly into it. As he did so, his elbow caught the corner of the tray, so that try as he did to prevent the crash both the heavy decanter SCOTTS SCRAP BOOK will oow BODY of K CKftRPlLLKB. did iPiErVw , 4RA.VtL Ki ttl RMit F -& MlUS A.

Apples are abundant, low in price and yield an excel lent juice, he pointed out, stating the product soon may rival toma to and pineapple juice. tributions paid by the liable em ployers of Haywood county amounted to $103,610 in 1938 as compared with $111,118 in 1939.

The noise was like a clap of thunder. It shattered the silence og the house. Lucinda sprang her feet, grabbing her shoes which were drying in front of the fire. "Great heavens! I'll run! You'll have wakened everybody !" "Sh-sh. Wait. The only one who might come is Jenkins. Don't be so frightened." "But I am! What shall I do?" Lucinda's hands were shaking so that she could only get her still wet shoes on with difficulty. "Then go in my bedroom, like a good child." "No. Isn't there a way out of here except through the front ha!!? " 'Fraid not, Jenkins keeps the back door locked. Now drink your little drink and then we'll go, since you're so nervous." "But if anyone should -come " The words literally froze on her lips as the door of the room swung open, and in the aperture with horror and disgust upon her face as she stared at the pajama-clad vision that was Lucinda appeared a tall, handsome, elderly lady in n peignoir.

Relinquishing her American citizenship to become the subject of a king was a well-meant error Countess Haugwitz-Revent-low the former Barbara Hutton, in tends to rectify at the soonest pos sible moment. The heiress said: "I realize I made a grievous mis take, and I wish I had consulted someone who could have given me advice. I have been so alone all my life without anyone to tell me what to do." No details of how soon or where she will seek to regain her citi zenship were reveuled by Countess Burba ra, but she must comply with residential and other rules apply ing to born aliens who wish to be come citizens of the United States. "Countess Babs" said that in swearing allegiance to Denmark after marrying her now divorced husband, Count Kurt von Haug-witz-Ueventlow, tdio made an hon est mistake in believing the action was in the best interests of her son. She said : "I don't know how to explain giving tip my American citizenship, but I had such fear something might happen to my son. "1 was constantly worried over the fact they might take him away from me. I believed that if I be came a subject of my ' husband's country such a thing could not hap pen that both he (the boy) and I would be protected." We Sell HEALTH BY THE BUNDLE Wives Attention!
