On signing -on day, Christine dis- covers that the Chief Steward of the Hay, Tor is Mr. Perrin, who has a grudge against her mother formerly a stewardess on the seine line. Per- rin warns Christine before she signs on that if she puts on airs with him she will find life difficult. Feom the very first, .Christine's fel- low stewardesses, Mrs. Parr and Miss Grano; shows a dislike of her for no reason and the only person whu is at all friendly is Arthur Grant, a cheer- ful young bedroom steward with whom she works. Grant warns her to be' careful, because many of the stewards are Perrin's toadies and everything is reported to him. Among the passengers in Grant's section is- a wealthy man called Mart- in Royde, who has often sailed in Tor Lines before and is well-known to the staff. He is notorious for giving wild parties and splashing money about. One of his friends, Doria Smythe, a sophisticated woman of thirty, is one of Christine's passengers, and Royde himself occupies the cabin de luxe in Grant's section. A FRIENDLY WARNING She turned to"Grant as soon as the inspection party was •Qut of hear- ing, and he gave her a rueful grin. Perrin's on your .track, I'm afraid," he said sympathetically. ",Ile turned back to the dressing table cover in eighteen, and of course some of the powder had drifted through on to the polished top —•• I told him that you hadn't had time to take the cover "And four ?—I half expected him to find something wrong in eighteen, but four was all right, I thought," "Some of the kid's toys were on the settee—they were piled up quite idily, but he said they ought to be put away." "I'll never satisfy Perrin", she said wearily. "On a day like this, when ie knows I signed for five passeng- ers in bed—oh, Grant, does anyone ever manage to got through Perrin's inspections?" "Not unless they're his pets, like gator," he admitted. "He found little things wrong in every one of my rooms --but cheer up, we all get used •to him in time." During the days that followed, she grew ever more grateful to Grant forhis steady friendliness, for it vas suite clear that Perrin meant to find fault with her for every trifle, and it seemed to her that everyone on the ship, was hostile to her—she rot nothing but black looks and surly answers from Gator and Edwards, 5o•th of then obviously Perrin's „pets." Working under such conditions was se difficult that she was dead beat before night, and though she manag- ed to slip itu'.to F'ay%s room every. night, on her way back from Mrs. Carlyle's, she stayed for only a few minutes. Fay was; making friends on board now, but she was still glad to see Christine. One evening, when she was carry - 'ng up the milk, for Mrs. Carlyle, she ;ret Grant in the alley -way; he was ,ne of the two bedroom stewards "on' watch" that night from nine to elev gin, when the night :watchman came o)t duly. "Miss Jordan," he said, with a rath- er embarrassed air, "of ' course I know that there . isn't . any special reason why you go down the main companion at. night, but I shouldn't do it, if I were you. Someone—our friend Cater, I think: has been mak- ing out that 'you're always wander- ing about Miss Crane's section, after she's in, bed, in the hope that one of her passengers will pop out and ask you for something." "I did meet Gator once," she ad- mitted, thankful that at least no one knew -that she had been into Fay's room, though it was bad enough to be suspected of poaching. "And Allen, one of Cater's pals, saw you a couple, of nights later. I know it's all a silly tale,•Mies Jordan, but silly tales rot like wildfire over. this ship, and •Cator's making the pretence that if he doesn't watch out, you'll be getting hold of some of his passengers. Christine decided that she must 'rive up going to Fay's room regul- arly every night, for she, would cer- tainly be caught doing it sooner or later. It wasn't as though Fay really needed her now, for she was no long- er lonely, and for the last night or two had not 'been in the least anx- ious to keep• Oln•istine with' her for more than a few 'minutes. ' I` And the next morning they were in the Bay of Biscay, and some of the passengers who had 'begun to get their sea legs lost them again very quickly. - Christine had eight • pas- sengers in bed. • - t Mrs. Smythe, in, number eighteen, :was one of the first ta go down, com- plaining of a splitting headache. Christine believed that the headache was genuine enough, she thought it unfair to blame the Bay for what was really the result of too many late nights and too much champagne =she knew from Grant that Doria Smythe, and a group of others,' were in the cabin de luxe night after night listening to Martin Royd's gramo- phone records, and drinking pretty steadily. • "I can't look at food," Dcria Smythe moaned, when Christine took ep the lunch which she had ordered. "I wish you'd ask'.the doctor to come and look at me, stewardess—he may be able to give me something which will stop this awful headache." It just happened tisat none of her •passengers had yet felt ill enough to ask for the doctor, so that this was the first time that Christine was to come into personal contact with John Stanhope. "One of my passengers is asking for you, Doctor," she told him form- ally, when he opened his cabin door to her. "Mrs. Smythe, in number eighteen." "Mrs. Smythe — I've noticed her. Not exactly sea -sickness, I should im- agine, stewardess?" "Net exa'etly," she agreed, and be- cause his eyes were twinkling, site ensiled at him. "You would prefer me to come with you, I suppose, Doc- tor." • "I certainly would," he said em- phatically. "Just wait one moment, while I slip ,down to the surgery for STEWARDESS AND DOCTOR Although she was tired out after a long morning of hard work, and this was the time when site ought to have been resting, Christine's spirits rose as she waited for Dr. Stanhope. They had only spoken a few words, but no one on board, except Grant, had treated her with any kindness, and Dr. Stanhope's friendly tone was like a tonic to her. "Lead me to number eighteen," he said, joining her again. "Piave you many passengers laid up, stewardess? -but for goodness sake tell ire your name, for I simply can't keep on calling • you 'stewardess'. It doesn't sound human, somehow." "Christine. Jordan," she said. "And 'I have lots of passengers laid up, but there's nothing at all the matter with most of them :they've only got Bayitis," "The Captain says that we may expect much worse weather than this off Cape St. Vincent. Fin afraid you'll have your hands full then, Miss Jord- an," "It will be warm enough for danc- ing then,, Doctor, and deck games will be in full swing—I'm not expect- ing much trouble with my'passeng- ers." He laughed, but professional grav- ity settled down upon hint as Chris- tine opened the door of number eigh- teen. Doria Smythe probably had ,a real headache, but she was just the type to keep on sending for the doctor if he was anything but coldly_ formal to her the first tine: • Christine, standing just inside the door, could not help admiring the quiet efficiency with which Dr. Stan- hope managed Doria Smythe, There was no hint of scorn in his manner, which was most scrupulouslypolite, but yet he made it clear that he knew just exactly why Doria Smythe had a splitting headache and that he wasn't in the least sympathetic. "Will you .nix a teaspoonful of this with 'a little water for Mrs. Smythe, Miss JOrdin„;'I he said, harnjng a small phial to Christine, "Send for me again this evening if the headache is not better, Mrs: Smythe, Bat I think this will put it night" He went out, and .Olu•ietine: moved across to the "clock" for a tumbler and water -bottle, and began to mea- sure out the medicine. At that mom- ent, Mrs. Collins came strolling into the stateroom with a cigarette in her mouth, and flung herself down to the settee—like many women accustomed to native servants he took- k nono t - ice at all of Christine. "Well—what's the doctor like? He. TIHURS., JAN. 5, 1939 looks attractive,' she said casually. "A, perfect stick -and !L bit of a prig, too; I should think," Doria ;Smythe. told her: "No good staying in bed in' the. hope of a little Sympathy Len him?" Mrs, Collins suggested, blowing a sinolce-ring dexterously. ''Lf you'll take my advice, Doria, you'll get. Out of here as quickly as you can, and keep, an eye on Martin—the little Lind girl is awaking all the runnng; with him just now, and• you'll lose him if you're not careful." "Lose him, to the little Lind girl- don't 11 silly, Iris. That child's. hardly out ,of the shell, and Martin was never a baby snatcher -he never looks at a woman under thirty." "He's looking at the Lind girl all right," Iris Collins said darkly. "And she may be only just out of her shell but she's gat ,a big pair of baby -blue eyes, and she knows how to use them. She and Martin were walking round the promenade deck together after lunch, and they seemed to be getting distinctly, pally --.you'd better get i'id of that headache, my dear." Oinistine handed ?oris Smythe' her medicine with a•' hand which was not quite steady. Flay and Martin Royde --.she couldn't - believe that Fay was really silly enouglu to get friendly with Royde, but it made her anxious even to hear them spoken of in the same breath. She would be able to learn the truth for herself the next night. Dancing on the promenade deck was to begin the next night, and it was quite usual for the stewardesses to go up for a short time to watch, standing in the alley -way and looking through the windows which opened on to the deck. Even Mrs. Parr and Miss Crane, would probably go, for it Was a good opportunity to learn one another's passengers by sight, so that the choice hits of gossip which • were retailed in their cabins would' have more savour: It was Mrs. Parr herself who, sug- gested going to watch the dancing when they heard the big gramophone. started up- on the deck soon after dinner. She did not include Christine in the invitation, but at least she and Miss Crane could not object if Chris- tine went with them. Not many people were dancing, and so Martin Royde and Fay were all the ,more conspicuous as they danced out of the darkness into the light, his black head, flecked with grey at the temples, very close to Fay's halo of golden curls. Christine had never the year ahead. And so there is in seen Fay look lovelier that she did ■. it many of us a resolution, more or less s■ robust, to shake off olct garments and f shackles and habits and faults, and ■• to start on a new road—a road rather clouded, whose track is hidden from e■ our sight, yet which is without any •ti terrors.
