CHAPTER IX
CHAPTER VIII
SYNOPSIS
Despite Leonard Berland's pro-
tests that his (bank account is
ample, though dead, ,his pretty,
opera -struck wife Doris resumes
her "career," interrupted by her
marriage ' at 19 and the birth of
two children. Borland knows her
avowed purpose, to bolster the
family income, is just another sub-
terfuge Hugo Lorentz, her teacher
always around, irritates him. Af-
ter Doris gives a ToWn Hall reci-
tal. Cecil Carver, opera singer
phones ' Borland. • At her hotel,
Cecil says Doris has a good voice
but lacks style. Cecil is to sing for
war veterans but hasn't the words
of 84 certain song. He sings it and
she says , he has a fine baritone
voice. Cecil knows of Doris
through Lorentz, says Hugo is
hopelessly in love with Doris, and
that Doris tortures every man she
gets in her clutches. Leonard
ought to wake her up by giving
a recital, she says. "Go get your-
self a triumph. Hurt her where it
hurts." Cecil demands payment for
lessons -kisses. He pays but de-
clares he loves his wife. He
spends much time with Cecil,
making good progress. Doris tells
hint Jack Leighton is getting
her an engagement in a. movie
palace. Cecil, on tour, wires him,
he sings in upstate recitals, makes
a, hit and she gets him an engage-
ment with an opera company.
Again he makes good and tearfully
Cecil, telling him she loves him,
say she's making a man of himself
and bring Doris to his feet. He
refuses a new contract. A movie,
audience gives Doris the "bird."
She says she's no good and that
she loves Leonard. Cecil says a
final good-bye to Leonard but
warns him Doris isn't "licked."
When I got back to the house the
kids were home and came running
downstairs and said did I know we
were all going that 'night to ..hear
Mamma sing. ,I said there had been
a little change in the plans on that,
and they were a little down in the
mouth, but I said I had brought pres-
ents for them, and that fixed it up
and we -went running up. to get them.
1 went in the nursery, ,where I'd Ieft
my bag. It wasn't there. Then • 'i
heard Doris call, and we went in the
bedroom.
"Were- you looking for -something?'
"yes. Are' you awake?".
"Been awake . . You .might find
it in there."
,She gave a funny little smile and
pointed to the dressing -room. I went
in, and thrive it was. The bids be-
gan jumping up:and- down whenI gave
them the candy, and Doris kept smil-
ing and talking over their heads. "I
would. have had. Nils ,unpack, but `I
didn't want him poking around."
"I'll do it."
"Where did You go?"
"fust down to the office for the
"No, but I mean-" • •
"Oh -Rochester, Chicago, Indianap-
olis, and around; Thought it was
riiout time •to .look •things over."
"Did you 'have a nice trip?".

"Oh, let' "skip it,"
"What!. And have them think I'm
dying of 'grief? • I should say not !
We're going, • end we're. going quick,
so we can leave before the whole
mob ,gets there. Hurry up! Get
dressed!" -
I 'always loved' Doris when she
drori ed the act and came out as the
calculating little wretch •that she
really was. She heard me laugh, and
laughed too. "Right."
She was dressed in five minutes
flat, and for once she had to wait for
me.
"How do I ,jook?"
How She looked was like some nine-
teen year-old flapper who had spent
her first day at 'the races, cashed
$27.50 on a $2 ticket, and was feel-
ing just swell
It was only four or five blocks
away, so we walked. On the way,
Doris kept damning Gwenny and all
of Gwenny's friends under her 'breath,
and saying she'd rather take a horse-
whipping than go in and face them.
But when we got there she was 'all
smiles. Only a -few people had shown
up by then, and most of them 'hadn't
beard of it.
So they , were all crowding around
her with their congratulations and
wanted to know what it felt like to
be a big headliner. Of course, that
made, it swell,, 'But D.oris levelled
it out without batting an eye: '• `But
I flopped! I'm an ex -headliner!"
"You-! Come on. Stop being fun-
ny!"
"I flopped. I'm out. ' They gave me
my notice."
"How could you flop?"
"Oh, please, please, don't ask me
-it just breaks my hrititrt. And now
I.gan't go to Bermuda! Honestly, it's
not the principle of the thin ,, it's
the money! Think of all thos love-
ly, lovely dollars that I'm not going
to get!" •
She didn't lie about it, or pretend
that she 'had done better than she
had • done or pretty it up in- any way.
She had too much sense for that. But
in .twenty seconds she had them
switched off from the horrible part
and. _had..managed to work it in that..
she must have been getting a terrific
price, to go on at all, and had it go-
ing her way. Leighton came in while
she was talking, and said the public-
ity was all wrong and he was going
to do..,something about it. They all
agreed that was •1t; anci"in five- min-
utes they were talking about football.
She 'drifted, over to me. "Well,
that's over.' Was it all right?"
• Perfect."
"Damn them."
"Just a few minutes, and we'll
blow' - . . We've still got my bag to
unpack."
She,nodded, and cooked at me, and
let her lashes drop over her -eyes. It
was Eve looking' at the apple,' and
my heart began to pound and the
room swam.
Lorentz 'came in. He didn't come
over. He waved and smiled, and
•Doris waved back, but looked away
quick. "I'm a little Out of humor
with, Hugo. He must have known.
•You"d'id,• didn't you? He could have.
given me some little hint."-

"Oni'y fair."'
"You. certainly took plenty of 'glad
rags."
'Just in ease. Didn't really need
t hem:"
Christine called° the kids, and they
went out. f went 'ever to her and
took her in . my arms: '"Why" didn't
you want Nils poking around?"
"Well -do you want him?"
"No." - �•
We both laughed, and she put her
head against mine and let hell' hair
fall over my face, and .made a little
opening iii front of my mouth and
kissed, me through that. Oh, don't
think Doris couldn't be a 'sweet arm-
ful when she wanted to be.
I kept letting her bair fall over my
face and holding her a little tighter,
and then all of a 'sudden she jumped
up. .
•
piped down, and waited. I was still
in the corner .an he ..didn't see me
until Gwenny called a out. She
caught her breath' Gwenny introduc-
ed me, and I said, "How do you do,
Miss Carver,", and. she said, ."How do
you do, Mr. Borland," and` they ,went
on, But in a minute •she came back.
"Why didn't you tell.' me you were
coming' here?"
"I didn't know i:t."
"Is she here?"
"Didn't Gwenny tell you,?"
"No,"
"it was' on her account she asked
you." I
"Her account?" ,
"She's wanted to meet you So I
just found out." • • '
"Gwenny didn't say anything. ' She
called an hour ago and said come on
up -and I wanted to go soffiewhere-
Why has shewanted to meet me?"
"Admires you. From agar,"
"Where is site?" ,
"Back there somewhere, in one of
the bedrooms, probably, Hiding."
"From what?"
"You, I think." ,.
"Leonard, what is this? She wants
to meet me, she's' hiding' from me -
what are you getting at?"
"Gwennyrasked'you, as a big favor
to her. But 'Ewenny hail 't heard.
about the flop, and, on .account of
the flop, she'd rather not. Just -pre-
fers some other time."
"And that's all?"
"Yeah, but it was an awful flop."
"You're .stere you ,haven't told her
about -me? , Gone and got all full of
contrition, and made 'a clean breast
of it and wiped the slate clean -have
you? Have you?" •
"No,' not word."
She turned and headed back toward
the bedrooms.
"Cecil!" I called.
"She had a flop, ' didn't she? Then
I' guess I'm• the one she wants to talk
to." She went''on back.
I went over and had a drink: I
needed one.
I was on my - third when she came
back, and I went over to her. . "What
happened?"
"Nothing."
"What did you say?"
"Told her to forget it. Told her it
could happen to anybody° -,which it
can, baby, and don't you forget it."
"What did you say?" ":
"Asked if it had ever hsapeened to
pie.. I told her i£ had 71'. g i's'
not bad. I halfway like lien'.'_•
She still didn't look at' me, but 1
.had the same old feeling about her,
of how swell she was, and thought
I'd die if I couldn't let her know, any-
way a little. "Cecil, -can I say some-
things?" '
"Leonard, I cut my heart out after
you ]eft. I cut it out and put in- in
the electric refrigerator, to freeze. So
if you;ve got anything to say you'd
better go down there anr'see if :t
can still hear you. Me. I've got
other things to do. I've got to be
gay and sing tra-la-la-la, 'and get my
talons into the first man that-"
She saw Lorentz then, went run-
nhig over to him, put her arms around
him and kissed him, and pulled him
into a corner. It was gay, maybe,
'licit it didn't make me feel any better.
Doris came out then, ands I hurried
to her, and asked if she was ready to
go.
"Oh- the tooth's out now. I think
she's going to sing. Let's-sfhjY.'t
"Oh you saw her, then?"
"She came back to powder. I didn't'
start it. She remembered me. She
came to my recital, you may recall."
"Oh, yes. Well -did you like her?"'
"Leonard, she's everything '1 ever
thought she was and about a thou-
sand times more. She had heard
about it. My flop, I mean. One min-
ute, Leonard, and she had made a
different woman of me."
"Poured.oil in the wound, hey?"
"Wound, my eye! Leonard, noth-
ing has happened! It's just some-
thing that can happen to anybody. It
has ha•ppened to lier; it happens to
them all. You take a drink and you
forget about it."
A"mald -came around with a tray of
Martinis. Doris took one, drank it,
and set the glass on a table. "So
that's what I'm doing. I don't have
to quit. I don't have to give up my
career just because some movie audi-
ence maybe hoped -tor a dog act in-
stead of something good. It's just as
she said. It's all in the day's work,
and you just forget it -and go on."
-I thought of what he had said; but
I didn't say anything,
We"ot "separated then, but pretty
soon she had me by the aria, pulling
me into ¢ corner„ "We've got to go.
Make it aluick with Gwenny, and then
-out!"
"Why, sure. But what's the mat-
ter?"
"The fool!"
"Who?"
"Gwenny. I could kill her. She
knows .how crazy I've been about that
woman and how I've. wanted to meet
her, and now, today Of all days, sh-"
-had to pick out -she's invited her 1
'And she's coming!" t --
"What wo han?"
"Cecil Carver! 1 can't meet her to-

"No. We'll blow." •

Planting are
Too often the seed or nursery -stock
is blamed for poor 'treaults when in
reality the fault lies entirely in care-
less planting. Tb.e job is simple but
experienced gardenerslpoint out that
it must be done properly for satisfac-
tory results.
In the first 'place, these experts in-
sist, the soil and climatic conditions
must be favorablerthis they mean
that seed "shpuld not be sown or
plants set out melees. the soil is -fine,
moist -but not muddy -and it must
be pressed firmly around".the seed or
plants to exclude air and ensure a
supply of moisture.
They also mean that the weather
must be right. It doesn't do to plant
tender things like melons, cucumbers
and tomatoes before danger of frost
is over. -and it doesn't do either to
wait until Summer is at hand before
planting hardy things like sweet peas,
garden peas, grass and other' hardy
lines. • These" must make their first
growth while the weather is cool and
moist. If they don't, root growth will
not be sufficient to carry them
through the blazing days of Summer.
Too Early, Too Deep, Too Thick
-Generally speaking, the , amateur
gardener, it is claimed, plants too
deep, too early and too thick. All
these mistakes lead to trouble. Seed
planted too deep will not germinate
well. The general rule is ,three times
the diameter,• which , means mere
pressing into the soil •for fine seed
like that of radish poppy, carrot, etc.
and tubers, like gladiolus and pota-
toes,' from six to ten inches deep is
recommended, the heavier the soil
the shallower the planting„
•Too early planting, of course, with:
tender things that. will not stand
frost is fatal. Many gardeners,: too,
rush all vegetable seeds in at the
same time and ' usually 'a day to a
week ahead- of the regular season..
This is all right, professionals point
out,. for a portion of the seed in each
packet. With luck, one gets very
early vegetables, but most of the
seed should be saved for regular
planting and some of it for later on.
This ensures safety against early
losses through weather and, what is
more important, - it spreadsthe hare
vesting season over several weeks,
with really garden fresh ,.vegetables
coming along steadily for the table
instead of a feast and a famine suc-
cession.

Grass Care
The professional advises a thorough
rolling' of the lawn each Spring to
press roots back firmly into the soil.
They •also urge one thorough weeding
each year with a special spudder, and
at least one good application 'of fer-
tilizer-, The latter is most important
Ds it will tend to promote rapid
growth, which will choke, out most
weeds. It also .improves the colour.;

Control Of
Crab Grass
Cultural practices which tend to
control crab, grass' may be briefly
summarized as follows:
1. Spring fertilization. Apply a. suite
able lawn fertilizer just before active
growth begins.
2. 'Mowing. Mow --frequently to a
height of ,not less, than one and one-
half inches. - '
3. Watering. Do not give frequent
Light sprinklings. Periodic deep water-
ing is much•.inore desirable.
4. Hand Weeding. 'The best time
td' Weed crab grass is in the seedling
stage. It can be recognized; easily by
its light green, broad, hairy, sharply -
pointed leaves.
5. Prevention of seed -setting. Rake
the lawn before 'mowing • to lift the
toed atalks. up_ where the. mower-ea-e-
get
ower.-.-.ca- -
get at them. Begin- this treatment
before the seed heads' -•are. mature and
continue throughout the heading sea-
son, raking in a different direction
before each mowing. Use a grass
catcher and burn •the clippings.
