RESUME
David and Lynn Conway are
deeply in love after five years of
marriage, Lynn is the brilliantly
successful partner of Harry Bor-
den, artists’ and writers’ agent. Da-
vid is a struggling ship’s archi-
tect. His big chance comes when
a firm of New Bedford shipbuild-
ers offers him a contract. David is
jubilant, and so is Lynn—until she
learns it means they must live in
New Bedford. Leaving New York
entails giving up hér career and
she refuses to consider it. After
several bitter quarrels, David
thinks he’ll bring her to her senses
by a legal separation. But Lynn's
unhappiness turns to rage when
the judge, evidently siding with
David, decrees she must pay her
husband $400 a month alimony.
Her lawyer, without consulting her,
tries to get David to sign a waiv-
er on the alimony; but David, be-
lieving this still another way to
make Lynn understand things, in-
sists the alimony be paid. Thus
starts a feud between them in
which each, like poker players, at-
tempts to “keep raising.”
Chapter Two
LOVE TAKES THE COUNT
Lynn, sitting in the smart night
club, smiled grimly to herself. Two
waeks ago, she and David were ideally
happy. One week ago they were leg-
ally separated. And tonight, she sat
at one table with Harry Borden, while
David sat at another with Claudia
Weston, Broadway's most glamorous
star—the girl who always got her man!
Harry, spotting a client at the bar,
excused himself for the moment. Lynn
sat back. and sighed. Just then, a tall
blonde handsome man hailed her with
delight. She looked up. It was George
Wallace, the playwright from Califor-
nia, whom she had recently signed up
for Harry Borden, Inc.
“Let’s dance, Lynn,’ George sug-
gested.
She nodded, smilingly, and they
glided onto the floor. When the or-
chestra concluded its number, Lynn
turned to locate her table. Her face
flushed as she realized they were
standing directly in front of Claudia
and David. She took George’s arm
hurriedly, but, at that instant David
looked up full into her escort’s face.
Simultaneously the two men broke
into a wide grin and called each other
by name.
“We were

to introduce Lynn, but she came to her
own rescue. “We know each other,
George,’ she laughed. “And this is
Claudia Weston, May I present George
Wallace, Claudia.”
“his is quite a reunion,”
ed Claudia with a malicious smile
“Won’t you two join us at our table?”
Lynn gave David a frightened
glance, but he stared past her.
“We'd love to join you, Claudia,” she
said, “and it’s so sweet of you to ask
us dear.” She sat down with charming
ease, George taking his place beside
her.
“1 didn’t know you were in New
York, Dave,” George exclaimed.
“How long have you been here?”
David asked.
“Oh, just long enough to get my
play produced.” He threw an adoring
glance at| Lynn. “Just long enough to
make life miserable for my agent.”
“Now, George,” teased Lynn. “You
promised you were going to forget I
was your agent. You promised you
were going to shoy me a new side of
you.”
“What side is that,” asked Claudia.
“Sounds very sinister.”
Lynn leaned toward her escort with
delightful familiarity. “You mustn't
mind Claudia, George. She has to
keep up her reputation for being dar-
ing.”

“Oh, of course, dear. Please forgive

GERTRUDE GELBIN
“He -only writes plays
dians,” Lynn answered.
David addressed Claudia. “He's a
quarter Indian himself, you see.”
“He may be a quarter Indian,” she
mused, her glance trailing him, “but
he’s certainly three quarters blonde.”
“His grandfather Was an Osage
chief,” volunteered Lynn.
“An Apache chief,” David corrected.
“But, David—he told me himself—"
Lynn stopped short. The fact that she
had addressed him directly hit them
both with terrific force. ‘An almost
startled look passed between them.
Claudia sat back, enjoying their dis-
comfort to the hilt.
George, hurrying back to the table,
i broke the tension. “Lynn!” he exclaim-
ed, “Harry just told me that you and
| David were married—that is separated.
I'm awfully sorry to hear it.”
Lynn shrugged her shoulders. “Don’t
worry. It’s not a friendly separation.”
“Let’s have a drink,” laughed Clau-
dia.
“Yes!” cried Lynn. “Let David order
it. I'd like champagne. Imperial 25.”
David smiled. So! He knew she was
only ordering champagne because she
had sent him the first of the four hun-
dred dollar alimony checks. “Make it a
magnum, waiter,” he ordered.
Claudia stared at him in astonish-
ment. “Must be a lot of people turning
in old boats!”
“Oh, haven't you heard, Claudia?”
about In-
jXvnn put in. “David’s become inde-
pendently wealthy-"
“Oh! Did one of those uncles die?”
Claudia asked.
“Better than that,” volunteered Lynn.
“What?” cried Claudia.
Lynn hesitated. She looked at Da-
vid who returned her gaze with a
mocking smile that dared her to con-
tinue. She dropped her eyes. For the
life of her she couldn’t discuss the ali-
mony before Claudia. “Maybe we'd
better go back to our table, George?”
she faltered.
“And not wait for the champagne?”
David grinned. “But of course—don’t
stay if you’d planned anything.”
“Yes!” cried Cluadia. “George was
going to show! Lynn his apartment.”
“I've an idea,” George answered.
“Why don’t we have the champagne—
go up to Harlem—then finish the even-
ing at my apartment—all of us?”
Somehow after the first glass of
champagne, the idea seemed perfect.
Lynn, her spirits bubbling, forgot that
David was Claudia’s gallant. It wasn’t
until after their tour of Harlem, with
Claudia at the passing-out point, that
Lynn realized, with a shock, that the
cab had stopped at George's apart-
ment house—and that David was sit-
ting back, allowing her to get out of
the cab with George. But Claudia’s
condition saved the situation. She
needed black coffee and an ice-bag to
her head. George and David carried
her in and laid her out in state on the
living room divan. : >
Claudia came to with a start to find
David sitting] on the couch beside her.
She looked about in a daze.
“Nice apartment you have, David,”
she faltered.
“This isn’t my apartment. It’s
George's.”
She closed her eyes again, then
opened them suddenly. “What hap-
pened to those other people?”
“What other people?’
“Oh—you know—" she frowned try-
ing to collect her thought. “Those
other two—Lynn and George.”
“They're in the kitchen making cof-
fee.”
She sighed. “Four merry leeches,
That's us. Aren't we ever going to
break up in groups?”
“This was your idea,” he answered
lightly. “You said you couldn’t make
up your mind whether it would be
me or George.”
He turned to meet Lyhn’s amused
smile. She was carrying a pot of cof-
fee, while George placed a tray of
sandwiches on the table.
Claudia opened her eyes. “One, two,
three, four,” she counted. “Nobody
missing. George! Has it occurred to
vou that you and I have just come
along for the ride?”
“Can’t remember anything occurring
to me for the last four hours,” he
laughed. “And anyhow, do you want
to hear my Indian drums, or not?”
“That’s right,” shouted David. “That
is what we came up here for.”
George eagerly removed an Indian
drum from the wall. =
“This drum belonged to my. great
grandfather,” he said softly. He be-
gan to beat out a throbbing rhythm.

“Now, what?” demanded Claudia.
Lynn rose from her chair abruptly.
“For one thing, why don’t you two go
home—that was the original idea,
wasn’t it?”
“Yes,” Claudia. answered easily.
“But; not so original as all that.” She
got up from the couch. “Come on, Da-
vid, they want to be alone.”
David . brushed her aside. “You're
marvelous, Lynn,” he said quietly.
“But whom do you think you're fool-
ing?”
“I wasn’t trying to fool anyone,” she
answered cooly.
He smiled. “If it’s for my beneft,
Lynn, I should be flattered, But if
you want to show how sophisticated
and modern you are, don’t work so
hard at it. It spoils the effect.”
She flushed with rage. “Oh, I see
what you mean, David. ’'m only pre-
tending not to be jealous about you
and Claudia. How clever of you to see
through me!”
She took a cigarette, lighting it with
fairly steady fingers.
“She nonchalantly lights a cigarttte,”
David observed. “Isn’t that the stage
direction?”
Lynn turnned on him, her eyes blaz-
ing. “Yes. But there’s an even better
one: ‘he exits gracefully!’ ”

Behind The Scenes
In Business World
A Summary Of Happenings
In America’s Industrial
Circles
General business sentiment in some |
sections of the country is gradually
improving, but as yet this better tone
has not been translated into actual
dollars and cents. As forecast in this
column it now seems likely that in-
creased lending and spending by the
government will create an inflamatory
boomlet by fall. Whether this boom-
let can be turned into a long and stable
period uf prosperity, depends on the
extent of business and government co-
operation. Steel operations continued
at 329% of capacity last week. Retail
sales enjoyed an Easter stimulus. Cot-
ton, wheat, corn and hides were high-
er on the commodity exchanges.
