' • • From Across The Street Still too nervously excited to think of sleep, Cilly,' went into the living room and sat down by the window. The .night was cool, and the breeze from the bay was delightfully re- reshing. She looked agrees the street t the St. Ann Apartments, into the other living rooms where people gath- ered for the evening. A11 normal, conn oeplace people each living his or her own private life securrein a tiny 'cubicle.' Cliff ,dwellers„ crowded together under one roof, yet each a stranger to the other. That is the sway of New York re- flected Cilly: • Just as easily could .those . =cross the street sit at their 'windows and look at the tenants• of the Bayview. They could, watch these people carry on their normal routine of existence, private and undisturbed. And they could overlooktihe doings of each per- son in the house—and one .of these persons was a murderer. . • "Suppose I were across the other' side of the street," •filly, asked her- self, 'What would I see in this house? Would I see people playing bridge, and listening td the • radii, or could I see clearly where a cloudof sus- picion bung over one apartment. Over there, I coald 'see these people a fr they actually ` are, and not as they pretend to be while the police are questioning them." The -more she th?ugrht of ' it, the stronger became the urge to get across the street and regard the dif- ferent families in the Bayview. But how ? The only windows .'Which frente11 on the street were apartment win dews; elle could not go, over these and ask someone to let her sit. in the front window for a while.

A WIDE SELECTION OF ' GR1ER ,0i In On A Party But no: The sounds. emanating from the Corbett apartment gave no indica tion of • retirement. Cilly halted on the stairway. Were :they having a par- ty ? All the better, she decided. She iwould have an excuse not to stop in;she •could continue immediately up to the roof. ' Even , as she decided this, the door opened wide. A' man appeared on the threshold. "Wh'o'a -doing all this' ringing--- " He stopped, seeing :. Cilly.

Hello, sister. Cone on right in." He lurched forward and with ex- aggerated gallantry held open the door. Cilly, noticed that he was drunk. very decidedly: drunk. She hesitated. "Come on in, busby. You're just what we need to make this a real party." • At that momelit Mrs. Corbett an- peered- in the hallway. "Why, it's Miss Pierce!" she beamed. Come right in deary, I do'avant to gest' better acquainted 'with you." - Graciously she took Cilly by the arm. Mrs. Corbett was less inebri- ated. But in her present'state, she Was a •marked contrast to the timid, nervous ' little 'woman Cilly met on Monday morning. "No,' perhaps I'd better not : stop now," Cilly demurred: "It was nothing important--" • "Of .course you are coming in!" Mr. Corbett had her 'other arm now; it was useless to protest. . .

"Oh Memel": Mrs. Corbett called across the living room, unconcerned by her husband's rudeness. "Mama, come here a • minute. Here is Miss Pierce. Conte, • Mamas come Meet Miss Pierce ." But there was no ,reply. Tq Cilly, she explained: "Mama is asleep, I guess., She's like that.... (alts asleep early." ;Mr. Corbett entered, rcarrying a tall bink for her.
