Never, since the beginning of the Talco oil boom,
has there been such a strong demand for living quar--
ters in Mt. Pleasant as there is today. There is a con-a
tinuous stream of people calling at our office every
day trying to locate suitable places in which to live;
some wanting furnished houses or apartments, others
wanting unfurnished houses and apartments,, and
still others are seeking bedrooms.

to help you keep your car
serving faithfully for the
duration, and invites your
cooperation on the follow-
ing points: (1) Observe the
simple, fundamental, thrifty
rules of car care, such as
keeping tires properly in-
flated, checking battery,
water, oil, etc. ... (2) Get a
simple service "check-up"
at your Chevrolet dealer's
now, and avoid major trou-

“I don’t quite understand,” Molla
said, but she knew exactly what
Agatha Whitworth was getting at.
She was interested, mainly, in see-

Agatha leaned forward and
patted Molla’s hand. "You are
quite, quite beautiful and you're a

raised her eyebrows expressively,
‘Surely you must see the world of

Agatha sat back again. "Really,
my dear, you’re much too nice a

stand that even if Taylor did fall
in love with you he’d scon come
to his senses. The final considera-
tion is too much to overlook.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
BURTON WHITWORTH laid his
newspaper aside and reached for
lis pipe. "Has Molla heard any
void from Kurt Wilhelm yet?"
Tay, lounging deep in the sofa
shook his head. “Nope, but she took
i screen test this afternoon, just in
case you’re interested.”
The match his father was about
to strike froze in midair. Agatha
Whitworth sat up straight in her
ehair.
Neil only raised an eyebrow,
slightly.
"A screen test!” Agatha explod-
ed. "That’s absurd."
“Nothing absurd about it, moth-
er," Tay said. "She IS beautiful,
you know, and she HAS received a
lot of publicity.”
"Publicity—ugh. Even the word
is nasty, and besides, the right peo-
ple don’t aspire to careers in the
motion pictures.”
“No? How about Corbina
Wright, Jr, and a couple of others
of our so-called set?” Tay inquired
blandly.
"I don’t care to discuss It,”
Agatha said acidly. “Really, It is of
no great concern to me. I merely
was expressing an opinion."
“One with which you no doubt
expect us to concur,” Burton Whit-
worth added dryly. Then, turning
to Tay, "Can’t say as I’m sur-
prised, but how did she make out ?”
“She won’t know for a few days,
I guess. Y’know, I almost hope she
doesn’t make it,” he added thought-
fully.
“You’re showing some sense
now," his mother snapped. "And
it’s high time, too."
Tay laughed. “But not for the
reason you’re thinking.”
“So—she’s going to take a stab
at it,” said Neil, folding his arms
behind his head.
Tay looked at him curiously.
“You sound as though it isn’t news
to you.”

to mention to me a short while ago
that this Bryan gent was trying to
interest her in that direcion."
Tay laughed again, but it was a
short laugh, almost forced. “It gets
me the way you get in on the know
so soon.”

owe you such a great deal.”
“Whatever you owe, you owe to
Mr. Whitworth. But perhaps— per-
haps there is one little thing you
owe me," she said reflectively.
“And that?"
Agatha waved her hand casually.
“Not now. What I would like to
know now is— as far as you know,
is my son In love with you ? And if
so, are you In love with' him ?”
Molla’s expression never changed.
Her gaze was calm, unruffled. For
a long moment she just stared at
the woman before her, eyeing her
coolly.
Agatha was just slightly flus-
tered. She had expected her to be
startled. “Well?” she said, and
there was a small note of impa-
tience in her tone.
“I knew you were going to ask
me something like that,” Molla
said, “but even so, I have made no
preparations for an answer. There
is only one thing I can tell you at
present.”
Molla paused deliberately, taking
full advantage of the situation.
“In the first place, as Tay’a
mother, you have a right to know.
I have some Ideas on the subject,
but I’m afraid you will have to" ask
Tay if he is in love with me. He
has never told me.”
"You’re an intelligent girl; you
should know without his telling
you.”
Molla smiled a tight little smile.
“I can only guess. If you want me
to guess, I would say ...”
Molla cocked her head to one
side. “But then," she said quizzi-
cally, “why should I guess? I may
guess wrong and be disappointed."
“Oh, then you ARE in love with
him.”
Molla shrugged,
say ’yes’ . . . ?”

what?” the elder Whitworth broke
in. "Hollywood, eh?”
“I suppose, so,” Tay said, "un-
less I can talk her out of it.”
"Taylor, you're not getting your-
self into any involvements with the
girl, are you?" Agatha looked at
him sharply.
"Involved? Say, that's the sec-
ond time you’ve asked me that.”
Tay grinned. "A rather pleasant in-
volvement, I'd call it. No harm in
playing the good neighbor, or the
big brother, is there?”
His father snorted audibly. "Big
brother!”
Neil grinned and the general ef-
fect only deepened the lines about
Agatha's mouth. There was some-
thing she had to do and there was
no use wasting more time.
Agatha Whitworth had
chauffeur drive her into town the
following night. When she got out
of the car in front of the small
brownstone house on East Tenth
street she eyed it with evident dis-
pleasure.
"I should be out in less than an
hour, Harris,” she said. Wait,
please.”
Agatha rang the bell and was
admitted by Mrs. Cassidy.
“I’m calling on Miss Glendon;
she’s expecting me,” Agatha said.
“Oh, yes. Miss Glendon said I
should send you right up. It’s the
second room to the left, right at
the top of the landing.”
She paused for a moment in front
of the room, her knuckles poised
over the door. Then, as though
making up her mind once and for
all, she knocked.
Molla opened the door.
“Good evening,” Agatha said. “I
know you were surprised that I
phoned. May I come in?”
“Of course.” Molla looked her
straight in the eye. "Won’t you sit -.That“Ys"w“hy I amTe‘re".*You
down, please? Here, let me take - - ......
your things."
Agatha removed her coat, but
left her hat on. “Thank you.”
Molla sat down opposite her.
“Yes," she admitted. “I was sur-
prised. “And may I be honest and
say that I am more surprised at
your asking to come to see me here
instead of my going to your home.”
Agatha shrugged slightly. “It
was more expedient; I preferred it
this way."
She looked around the room, at
the ceiling and then back at Molla
significantly. “Do you like it here?”
Molla’s face was expressionless,
but her eyes were cold. “It’s clean
here and neat. It’s comfortable and
the people are grand. And now—
to what do I owe this honor?"
“You’re an abrupt child, aren’t
Tt isn’t, exactly. She happened you?” Agatha eyed her coolly.
n "Then I, too, shall be as straight-
forward and we’ll both save time.”
Agatha folded her hands in her
lap and sat up straight. “I came
here to ask you some questions. I agree? Will you promise not to ac-
hope yOU Will not mind.” nnv mnr» xn<>nnrncrAmAnt frnm
Molla shook her head. “But of
