It seemed so irresistibly comic that this man, who had saved my life, should be asking for a cigarette! But I knew that any moment the laughter would change to equally stormy tears. He stopped me.

All my life I had had only ambition to drive me- ambition to be a singer, to be famous -and it had taken the place of the day- dreams most girls weave about the men they will some day meet and love and marry.

Patricia Rogers. In an attempt , to start all over again after a broken love affair with John Knight, the trustee of her estate, she had changed her name and gone with her adopted son, Jack, and two friends, Alice Ames and Virginia Hardesty, to work as a reporter on a Phoenix, Arizona, newspaper. There she fell in love with Scoop Curtis, another reporter, who knew her only as Pat Ryan. On the eve of their wedding she revealed her true identity to him, and after the initial shock of learning that he was engaged to an heiress, he took the news calmly. But Pat's relief at having told her secret at last led her into the mistake of using her money extravagantly on luxuries they could not possibly afford on Scoop's salary, and Scoop, believing he would be marrying a girl whose money would be a barrier to their happiness, left her on the morning they were to have been married. Pat tried to hide her heartbreak, and remained in Phoenix until, one morning, she learned that Scoop

That would not erase the memory of the way I had betrayed his trust, but at least the path of my future would be clear. Then conscience could no longer lay a heavy hand on the joy of my love for Hal. Suddenly at ease now, the next time Hal called up I said I would see him. I had something important to say to him. We dined together. Quietly I told him I was engaged to Chet Barr, and that now I had decided to break the engagement just as soon as I could see Chet. I was touched by the humility with which Hal took my news. He seemed hardly able to believe, at first, that I had chosen him instead of a successful man like Chet. And even after I had told him again and again that I had no regrets, he wouldn't let himself be convinced. "Don't break off with him, Diane," he pleaded. "At least -not just yet. For your own sake.

I may never be able to give you all the things Chet Barr could give you -all the things you deserve. And I won't ask you to marry me when I'm able to offer you so little." "All I want is you-" I began, but he silenced me with a gesture. "That's what you think now. But wait a while, Diane.

SEEMS a miracle too wonderful to believe, but at this ITvery moment, under your present skin ... a New -Born Skin is flowering ... growing, gradually replacing your worn -out surface skin which flakes away in tiny little particles. Will your New -Born Skin really flatter you? Will it help you look younger? The answer is "Yes! ", says Lady Esther. "Yes ... if you will care for it properly with my 4- Purpose Face Cream." Don't let the dry flakes of your old surface skin imprison the beauty of your New -Born Skin. My 4- Purpose Face Cream gently permeates those drab flakes ... the surface impurities and dirt. It helps you whisk them away ... so your New -Born Skin may appear at its clearest and at its best. And to do this ... all you need is one cream. Lady Esther 4- Purpose Face Cream. Ask Your Doctor About Your Face Cream Does he suggest that you feed your skin from the outside? Will he recommend astringents, or skin foods, or tissue creams? Lady Esther believes he will not ... for it stands to reason that any cream that can fill the pores can be harmful to the skin. But ask him if my cream doesn't help your skin because it loosens the dry little flakes and surface impurities ... really cleanses your skin. Ask your doctor if every last word that Lady Esther says isn't true! So try my 4- Purpose Face Cream at my expense. Use no other cream for a full month. Let my cream give you complete beauty care. Let your New -Born Skin come to light in all its glory. Use my cream particularly before you powder, for, after wiping away Lady Esther cream, your skin is in perfect condition to receive powder. Use just enough powder to protect your skin from dust -and see if your skin doesn't appear lovelier and more opal- escent- smoother, more radiant-with a look that really spells beauty!

The next morning, as Sadie was leaving for school -she had fifty -nine boys in her sixth grade class -the telephone rang. "Hello!" It was his voice. "This is Gabe Heatter." "I didn't know newspaper reporters got up so early," she told him, excited, laughing. "Usually they don't," he said. "When can I see you, Sadie ?" "Tomorrow night ..." She was ten- tative. "Tonight," he urged. "Don't make me wait until tomorrow, please. I ... I'm so very fond of you!" "Tonight, then," she said, a sudden lump of gratitude in her throat for his unashamed avowal. "I'll be waiting, Gabe." From then on, they each knew they were in love. And neither tried to hide the fact.

"But if Basil should be called one day when he is grown -and the cause is right -may he be a brave soldier." Gabriel Heatter was no different from other men before they find their way in the business world. He did what he could as well as he could. He worked on newspapers. He wrote advertising. He managed publicity cam- paigns. He executed foreign business for a -linoleum firm. And sometimes his income was large and sometimes it was small and sometimes he had no income at all. "I wanted to give you so much, darling," he told Sadie one evening as they walked around their little house while their babies slept upstairs. She had followed him out, sensing he was restless and discouraged. And he had taken off his top coat so, as they walked arm in arm, she could wear it over her shoulders too.

"But Gabe," she said when he'd finished, "you've always believed radio would be important and those who grew up with it were like to be important too.

Only a few hours' rest, only hot baths and changes of clothing and regular meals stood between them and complete recovery from the effects of the three terrible days on the Rock.

Barnes, what did they say of Lynn ?" WITH the last sudden question she had laid her fingers bn his hand; he felt them press his own. "They don't know," he said, started to add something to it, checked himself and was still. "They think he is very ill." "Oh, but we knew that, Page!" "Yes, we knew that. It'll be a fight now between the fever and his strength. Are they going to operate, Barnes ?" "They're afraid-not." He had phrased it wrongly, and he saw her color fluctuate. "He's too weak ?"

Not knowing what she did, Page sat down beside his bed and murmured to him, and he opened his heavy eyes and looked at her painfully as a man looks who knows not reality from dreams. She linked her hand in his hand. Presently he was lightly, restlessly asleep. The clock's hands moved. Daylight dropped on the white wall, lay in clean angles on the floor, was gone. Nurses noiselessly brought pillows. Page's back was luxuriously braced. Somebody took off her shoes, wrapped her feet in a warm blanket that held a hot water bottle. Somebody else held soup of just the right tempera- ture at her lips. Five o'clock, with the subdued clinking of trays in the hospital corridor and the smell of toast everywhere. Six o'clock, with winter blackness at the windows, and still Lynn, fretting sometimes, muttering sometimes of the gulls and the noise of the sea, slept on. A doctor wrote "Faint ?" on a card, and held it before Page's eyes -eyes that were heavy now in the hooded lamplight. She shook her head with a white smile; the vigil went on.

She's going places in radio." Bill had smiled and said he hoped so and then gallantly pitched in to teach her all he knew about the business. And after the broadcast, Carl, Bill and friends from the radio station went over to the Park Lane Cafeteria, right across the street, and talked the night away over coffee. In seven short days she had become "Bill's girl.". She didn't know how it had happened.- Neither did Bill. It just happened. It was just the most natural thing in the world. And now, marriage. At eighteen. She whistled under her breath and turned to Bill. "What do you think Mother and Dad will say ?" she asked. Bill looked a little frightened. "Do you think they like me ?" "Sure," Dorothy laughed, "but Bill, they just won't believe I'm grown up enough to get married." They didn't believe it, either, that night when Dorothy got home and announced it breathlessly. Her father smiled. "You two kids think it over. I think you're just planning this to hear yourself talk." Her mother sighed and smiled and thought to herself that it would be a good many years before her daughter would be married. Treating Dorothy like a child didn't help matters. It made her more determined than ever that she and Bill should marry. But Bill still felt cautious about the venture.

62 RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR Minutes From Hollywood" show. Not, strangely enough, because she was known as an actress, but because she looked like Ginger Rogers, whom she was hired to impersonate. Dorothy came through with flying colors, and Bill was so proud of her that night! Now, whether he wanted her to work or not, he would be just as proud if she got a full time job in radio. It took Dorothy less than a week to land a steady job on Allen Prescott's Mutual show. Not only did the show pay good money, enough for all the "extras" Dorothy wanted, but its master of ceremonies, Mr. Prescott, helped Dorothy through her domestic problems. Prescott, who as the "wife Saver," gave tips to women about cooking, took Dorothy in hand and taught her how to cook. Before long, she was hurrying home from the studio every night to whip up a tasty delight for a very tired husband coming home from struggling with a new business. immediately, Dorothy ALMOSTwas making more money than A piping hot waffle . ready for the Bill.

They played badminton in a nearby armory, went roller skating in Rockefeller Plaza, went to night clubs, or had parties for their friends at home. Neither of them worried about HOW TO finances very much, because Dorothy had faith in Bill and Carl making good. Those "rainy days" just couldn't KEEP come. Maybe it was this confidence, maybe it was just hard work, but Bill Spire and Carlton Aslop finally did click. They put their business "over" and were both hired by important ad- 12.3r ó1 vertising agencies.

Hand cream left on all night is a great help. There are special hand gloves to wear at night made of an especially treated material which no cream can penetrate, so that instead of coming off on the sheets, the cream remains on all night to soften and beautify. Gloves by day have something to do with the smoothness of hands. These raw winter days be sure you wear gloves that are warm enough whenever you go out. On the other hand as springlike days come, do not coddle your hands with heavy gloves that make them perspire. And, of course, you will wear work gloves to protect your hands during any work that might get them begrimed. All these creams and lotions and soothing baths will help with the cuticle, too.

ADDKESS Coming soon -another great love story -Clifton CITY STATE Fadiman's unforgettable romance! 70 RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR They were both upstairs in the nursery, when the doorbell rang. Matty was out marketing, so Kay excused herself and ran down the stairs to open the door. A thin, small woman with a sad, pale face was standing on the porch. Her eyes looked very large and deep, shadowed by the brim of a cheap hat, which was covered with snow. The snow was clinging to the worn fur collar of her shabby coat and her thin shoes were wet with it. "Yes ?" Kay asked. "Does -does John Fairchild live here ?" the woman asked. Her voice was low and a little tremulous. "Yes," Kay smiled. "Won't you come in? He isn't at home now, but perhaps I can help you. I'm Kay Fairchild." The woman swayed slightly and put out a thin, gloveless hand to "H'm. You pups have got a bad rash all right. Don't know as I ever saw grasp the doorpost.

"Yes," Kay said. "Please come in. You look so -so tired and cold." The woman stepped inside timidly. Kay closed the door and turned to lead the woman into the living room. The woman was hanging on to the back of the hall chair and staring at the foot of the stairs. Mother Fairchild was standing there. She took a few steps forward, her head stuck out in front of her, peering at the woman. Then she gasped and stepped back. "A ghost!" she cried. "You've come back like a ghost, Anne." "If I'd known that John had married again -I-I didn't know -" the woman whispered. "I wouldn't have -" and her knees gave way and she was a forlorn heap on the floor.

Kay had consulted the doctor again and learned that his original suspi- cion had been correct. Anne had a very bad heart condition. So bad, in fact, that the doctor advised against telling Anne what was wrong with her, because in most such cases the shock of the knowledge was fatal. This was the thing that bothered Kay. For, when John heard about Anne's dangerous condition, he was terribly distressed and, moved by pity, he became more attentive, kind- er and gentler with her. motivations were very clear to HISKay and she didn't mind. But Anne misunderstood. She began to pay more attention to her appearance and, several times, Kay saw her flush with excitement when she heard John coming into the house. John didn't seem to notice this reawakened interest in him as a man. But for Kay it contained the elements of tragedy.
