sincere that toast was. .
I» was Hallie’s first experience
attending a First Night on Broad-
way and it was an experience as
heady as the champagne in which
tbs three bad toasted its success.
It was a warm, early October
sight, but there were as many
sables and ermines and silver fox
aa if It had been winter. Hallie was
blinded with the glitter of rubies
and diamonds and emeralds, and
she thought there couldn’t have
been an orchid left in a flower shop
to all New York.
In the crowd, as they wended
their way through the' noisy, per-
fumed lobby, she recognized three
movie stars, and Toby pointed out
celebrity after celebrity to her. All
the first-string critics were there.
To see Brie, she thought proudly.
She could hardly bear the mo-
ment of watting as the house lights
dimmed and the curtain rose slow-
ly. It was some few minutes before
Eric mads his entrance. When he
did, he became—for her—not the

there was to be done with them,
but there just wasn’t enough to
have the critics mention him. This
didn’t really matter; what mat-
tered was that the play would be a
success. This, Toby assured her as
they went backstage, through the
boxes when the play was over, was
certainly a success. He’d heard the
critics’ opinions in the lobby be-
tween acts.
Halle had become acquainted
with backstage scenes during the
rehearsal and she’d met most of
the members of the cast, but not
the great 8ara Cornell. And Cor-

rUl ft HARDEST PROBLEM
THERE IS. one problem in
bridge which is much harder to
solve than that of coping with
your opponents. It is a question of
what to do if you have a partner
who is a confirmed over-bidder.
Every balanced and versatile
cardsman pays heed to protecting,
himself* against* this danger, not
by deliberately underbidding him-
self, but usually making the
weakest of various alternative
bids which might be considered
sound. Even then, he may have to
play his head off because of the
«utlime confidence reposed in his
playing ability by a partner who
laises him too high.

You’re intelligent, my dear. I

her.”
Someone called to her, but be-
fore she left the young Adamses,
Cornell said, “I’m having some peo-
ple to tea Sunday. I want you both
to come.”
Eric’s eyes were no longer anx-
ious when Hallie looked at him.
They were proud. He whispered,
“That’s a god-awful dress, honey,
but you've got stuff." \
Eric was proud of her. He must
be proud of her on. Sunday. She
dressed carefully, wearing her light
green * tweed suit, and the soft
sweater and little riding felt that
were the same shade. Her ehamois
gloves were spotless and her alli-
gator brogue# smartly pofished
when she presented herself to her
husband, saying, “Wffl I do?"
You look ton a school girl

There were at least 40 people at
Sara Cornell's apartment. Other
actresses, two playwrights of
whom Hallie had heard, a group of
newspaper people, a millionairess
famous for ber winning stable, a
concert pianist Everyone famous
for something, Hallie thought ex-
cept the Adamses.
But it was to Hallie that Sara
Cornell talked longest
Later Eric asked eagerly what
they had talked about '
“French dressing and . . . and
English movies and . . . Oh, just
things. She’s a very warm person
We liked each other. You know its
easy to talk when you like each
other."
Eric said, “Have I mentioned be-
fore that I never knew anyone like
you?"
“Um hum," she said.
"We’ll probably be invited there
again. It’s awfully good business
for me to know the big-wiga I'll
really get somewhere that way.
Show business, you know, is dif-
ferent from any other business.”
"Is it?" Hallie asked. "I thought
insurance men and lawyers and
manufacturers always wanted to
know the big-wigs in their profes-
sion. too.”
"Hallie, you astound me."
But Hallie was not through as-
tounding him. Quite casually she
said, "Yes, I expect we might be
invited there again. Mies Cornell is
coming to have tea with me one
day.”
Eric threw away his ttnlighte<J
cigaret without realising what he
was doing. He whistled a long, low
to dinner. How do you do it?”
‘1 didn't DO anything. She said
she'd like to see me again. That
there were' lots of things we must
talk about. So I said that I knew
she was pretty busy, but I should
like to have her come to tea one
afternoon when she's free. That’s
the way it’s done in Worbum.
dear."
“Worbum, yes,” he said thought-
fully.
He was thoughtful all the rest of
the way home in the bus. When
they were in their own apartment,
he looked around it as if he were
seeing it for the first time. He
looked a little surprised to find it
so satisfactory. The' low spreading
light from the lamps was warm '
and cheerful. The bright-colored I
book covers in the shelves, and the
pots of growing green things in the j
glass and wrought-iron stand sil- |
houetted against the window were ;
charming.
Hallie said, “Are you seeing it J
with Mias Cornell in it? Isn’t it all ,
right?”
“It’s swell, honey. Perfect. But I
don’t see you rushing into the
kitchen to fix a tea tray, tearing
back here, and then rushing back
to the kitchen for a pitcher of hot
water."
Hallie sat down on her crimson
lounge and laughed at him. “May- ;
be we could have tea in the kitch-
en,” she said. “Or perhaps Miss
Cornell and I could take turns fill- f
ing the pitcher.”
“I’m really serious about this,
Hallie.”
Hallie felt a thread of irritation
growing in her. She said, “Eric, we
might hire -a butler, but where I
come from, It’S considered not quite I
the thing to do to pretend to have
what you haven’t got. That may ,
be all right for the tinsel theater
world, but it doesn’t go with me.”
Eric ruffled her hair. “You’re in .
the ‘tinsel theater world’ now,
baby. Remember, it’s good to fol-
low the when-you’re-in-Rome for- !
mula. That Worburn stuff is all
right In its place, but it isn’t here." j
Hallie smoothed her hair and \
went into the hedroom.
^Eric’s voice followed her In:
“I want you t© hire a majd to-
morrow. Something smart and
neat, no little slavey from Harlem."
Hallie put down lier hair brush
and opened her mouth to speak.
After a moment, she said, “All
right, dear. I'll get her a taffeta
