READ THIS FIRST:*
Nita and Natalie Dudley, orphaned
small town sisters, both attractive,
are on their way to New York, intent
on bettering themselves. Nita is the
smart girl of today. Natalie is the
more reserved, younger. She won-
ders where Nita has obtained money
for the trip, and besides, she is
carrying orchids. Nita shocks Na-
talie by intimating that she obtained
the money from Natalie's former em-
ployer. Natalie is concerned, hurt.
Nita explains that she has borrowed
the money, and explains the condi-
tions, but Natalie remains worried.
A youngciman, sitting opposite them
in the Fullman. offers them a maga-
zine. Nita flirts with him. In New
York they find a little apartment in
the Village. NUa proceeds to hunt
a job crooning, and calls on Hilly
Dane, a well-known radio enter-
tainer, without success. The girls
are appalled at the cost of living in
the city. Doth are unsuccessful at
landing a job, and their small store
of money dwindles. Nita adopts a
care-free air, spending lavishly and
worrying Natalie. Natalie is ready
to give up and return to Truesdale,
but Nita continues gay and uncon-
cerned. spending their last money for
a violet chiffon dress. She announces
to Natalie that she has a date and is
determined to have a fling.

They soon were to learn that the
hip flask was just an old Manhattan
custom and was not intended as any
reflection on them.
"Only,” continued Charles, making
himself quite at home in tho arm
chair, and resting his eyes on Nita,
"she didn't cry on my shoulder, I was
glad, though. I don’t think a tear
would look well depending from her
nose.”

that," she added, smiling faintly.
"We won’t go until about midnight
as it’ll be practically dead before
then." he explained. “You know, I
think you’d look like Helen Morgan
If you had a pihno to felt on. You'll
be a wow. Just wait until New York
begins to know you.”
Nita smiled—not an aggressive
stnlle, but the sort of sweet, demure,
appreciative smile you would expect
i from a girl you could fall In love
with the first night you called to see
her; that was what Charles Young
had done—already. I ,
"I think I can do a lot for you.”
he said, his eyes sort of feasting on
Nita.
Nita had thought as much. He had
told her he had been a press agent
before he bought out a partnership

CHAPTBR 6
“NATALIE here—she’s my little
sister—thinks you are my secret
romance," Nita told Charles Young
in her most winning way. That was
how she Introduced him.
"Isn’t he?" Interrupted Natalie, not
looking in the least like a little sister.
“Not secret any more, though.”
"Oh; now I remember you!” ex-
claimed Natalie extending him her
small hand. “Why Nita! How did
you manage all this?” Turning to the
tall fellow with shining black hair
and very nice blue eyes Natalie con-
tinued: You sat across the aisle when
we came on from Truesdale . . . you
and the magazine."
“I remember, too,” he said, not at
all shyly, giving her a winning smile
which fqr the most part spent itself
on Nita.
Charles Young represented the
dashing, nonchalant type ot hand-
some young fellow about New York,
especially well known in . the the-
atrical booking offices.
“How did this romance begin—It Is
a romance, already—I take it?” Na-
talie persisted.
But Nita didn’t talk so much. She
had heard It was some times best not
to—and besides, she didn’t need to
talk much. She let the violet chif-
fon. so exquisitely designed, speak
"*• for her.
“Well, when I gave her the maga-
zine on the train the romance started.
In fact. It had started some minutes
before that—but It did not get a
chance to continue until today."
“When,” Nita put in. "I went Info
the Dubard Theatrical Agency to sob
on somebody’s shoulder because New
York had not given me a crooning
job."
Nita’s smiles were by no means
wasted on the blue eyed man. who
soon became known as "Charles.”
- He produced a silver h|p flask and
asked for some glasses The girls
were a little embarrassed because
they had no crocked ice tc offer bur
| it was Charles Yiun* who was am-
or two at a night club?” he asked K
so calmly, flicking the ash from his
cigarette.
But the very thought of it made
Nita’s heart do a duck’n wing. And
Natalie could not believe her ears.
"It belongs to a friend of mine.
Anthony Widdles. Maybe you’ve
heard of him?"
They had heard of Anthony Wld-
dles. Who hadn’t. Ho owned the
Palace Gardens, Manhattan’s very
smartest after-dark playground. They
used to read about the parties given
there even when they lived in Trues-
dale. And the New York columnists
were always saying something about
Mayor Walker and other Important
folk being seen there.
Nita seemed very calm, as though
she had expected just that sort of
thing to pop up.
"I'll have no fear of your having
stage fright. Not after this after-
noon before all of those troupers, the
severest of the severe critics,” Charles
told Nita.
"They were nice, though—generous^
I mean.”
"They recognized that
something different."
Nita had had chills and fears every
time she remembered Ringing that
number before Charles' Young that
afternoon at the agency. He had
asked her to “give an audition.” She
hadn’t exactly understood what that
meant until he said that a girl he
called Malzie, who had her hair cut
like a boy’s, would play the piano for
her.
Somehow she managed to get
through with that real blues tune—
"I Lost My Girl from Memphis.”
“I pretended to myself that those
troupers sitting there listening and
looking were just a bunch of Trues-
dale rubes,” she afterwards explained
to Natalie. “But what made it better
wtis that I knew when I finished that
no matter how badly I put it over
that they would not high-hat me the
way the rubes in Truesdale did that
time I joined that act at the Play
House.”
So, now Charles Young wanted to
know If she would croon a tune at
the Palace Gardens!
“When?" Nita’s voice was so calm.
“Tonight of course?”
“Oh."

Hi
That’s
laughed Nita.
"Did you s(ng for him?” put in
Natalie.
"Yes—I hope you didn’t think I was
crying by any chance—then,” she
turned to Charles, who was obviously
amused.
'T’ve heard funny noises before."
“So. Natalie, he advised me to take
up tap dancing.”
They all had to laugh at that re-
mark.
Nita was trying herself. She was
flattered by the approval In Charles
Young's blue eyes when they took
her in. She managed to stride across
the room so he might see her lovely
stilted, glistening heels, the close fit
about her slim, rounded hips. His
eyes followed her. Nita was a suc-
cess with Charles Young. That was
more than plain.
Charles Young’s approval of Nita
was to mean much to her. She had
figured that all out. however. Charles
owned a partnership in the Dbbard
Theatrical Agency and he had no
end of contracts that could—and did
—prove useful to Nita, who had no
way of becoming acquainted with
theatrical circles.
Once Charles said to Nita:
you smile you

He fell a little In love with her.
even that first night . . . her fresh-
ness, her play at sophistication, the
way she got smoke in her eyes from
an awkw’ardly held cigarette.
Because as soon an Natalie left the
room for a moment Nita said: “May
I have one of your smokes?” Casually
as if she were accustomed to that
sort of thing. She had seen the girls
in Sherry’s smoking—and thought
how smart and nonchalant they
looked with a cigarette, plumed with
smoke, poised In their red-enameled i
nailed fingers. • |
"Yon don’t smoke—do you?” over first?” he thought she didn’t
Charles had asked, seeing that she know what the Palace Gardens was!
held the cigarette awkwardly and
that her eyes kept misting from the she said, still cklm. ”1 think I’d like
smoke.
“I mean to—one has to start,
doesn't one?” she said, a little flip-
pantly.
“I wish you wouldn’t I think I
liked you because there were no nico-
tine stains on your fingers.” • /
"But It marks one—I mean, hot
smoking. In New York—you know,
do as the smart New Yorker does.”
“You are smarter than the smart
New Yorker." But Nita did not cast
aside her cigarette.
When Charles Young came along
naturally Natalie stepped aside. But
perhaps not without noting with a
tinge of envy the way be laqghed at
Nita’s wise cracks, her newly coined
slangwhlch fit her so badly, and her
pretended cynicism, which her spark-

emptor!’* the old classical slogan which
means “Let the buyer beware,” in introduc-
ing every stock salesman; but young Mr. Al-
ford—whose father has perhaps invested
more money in Henderson real estate than
any other local business man—hits the nail
a resounding blow when he argues that real
estate investments are safe, that they will
always remain where their owners may look
after their own interests, and where returns
are as bright as any other investment avail-
able.! Stocks promising high dividends are
automatically indicted as hazardous risks.
Billions of dollars now are ready for invest-
ment at f> per cent or less per annum if the
money owners can be convinced that the in-
vestment is safe.
Real estate everywhere, however, at-
tracts only those who live in the community,
or plan to live there. That’s the way of hu-
man beings.
Verily, Mr. Alford is right in choosing
local real estate to various stock issues now
flooding the market.

DON’T GET EXCITED OVER MARTIAL
LAW IN EAST TEXAS
Mart ial law proclaimed in the East Tex-
as oil fields today, avowedly for the purpose
of coping with some sort of rebellion, but ac-
tually for the purpose of increasing the price
of crude oil—is psychologically disturbing
. .. and that should be all.
There is no disorder in the fields . . . con-
ditions here are far different to those which
prevailed in the Mexia boom of a decade ago,
whirc troops wqre called out to quell the
lawless and business was virtually crippled
for several months.
There should be no need for that here.
The “rebellion” which Governor Ster-
ling is attempting to quell, relates only to
“an organized and entrenched group of crude
petroleum and natural gas producers who are
in a state of insurrection against the conser-
vation laws of the State.”
You know who they are.
Now if the laws are rigidly enforced
against them—some of whom may include
the Governor’s friends—the landowners and
royalty holders may eventually get \ some-
thing- in the neighborhood of what their
crude is worth.
Too bad we can’t shoot the price of cot-
ton up the same way, but to do that the Fed-
eral Farm Board wants the farmers to de-
stroy their crop and stand all the loss, so
those with cotton stored (including the Fed-
eral government) may reap the profits.
The only course to follow here is to make
the best of this situation . . . don’t get excit-
ed .. . nobody should be any worse off . . .
everybody soon should be better off.
Some men may be laid off, but the oil
companies should take care of most of them.
A few haven’t been drawing their payx
regularly of late, anyhow.
