Aune, Dan said something about seeing her Sunday, but she told him that Evu was to return that day from the hospital and she thought she and Mona ought to spend the day with her.
Paul sighed in relief as Dan snapped the intractable collar in place. He said, with some concern: "I sure hope it doesn't get to Eva. I wouldn't like that a bit,"
"Who saw it?"
BAND TO GO.
FAREWELL OF ROYAL MARINES AT DEAL.
The passing of the Deal Royal Marine Depot band, which will be officially disbanded on October 1, will cause widespread regret here. says a Deal correspondent in mail week. The band gave its last
church parade on the South Barrack
Green, and its farewell perform- ance in Deal Pavillon was officially attended by the officers of the De- pot and the Mayor and Corpornton of Deal. A municipal banquet was also given to the band.
During its long hatory, extend- ing over 140 years, the band ha had numerous associations with Royalty. In the reign of George IV. it accompanied the King on a cruise around the British Isles. It was present with Queen Victoria opening of the Grand Napoleon Dock at Cherbourg, in 1858, and during the lifetime of the Prince, Consort gained increased renown, being in frequent demand at

Paul stopped and went to work on his tie
"Aw, tell me what happened, will you?" Dan cried in exasperation,
"That's all. He said it wasn't any of my business, and I said, Yes, Frank. I guess that's right, only I thought it was kind of fun ny; and then he tried to tell me where I headed in. He thought he could get away with it but he

"No." They went off to dinner then, and afterward they separated, promis ing to meet in the theatre; and Collier went for Maris Farell, Rorimer Tor Anae.
A Hollywood "opening' is bally- hoo triumphant. It is a magnifi- cent exaggeration, an implausible thing born of press agentry and vanity. It is a piece of night as light as a thousand suns, and a procession of smiling masks Bankud by roped-off adulation.
"He said, "If they don't spoil this fellow Rorimer he's going to write some real picture stuff. I think Martin Collins ought to know what he's talking about."
All this was pleasant: it fed his pride. Dan felt confident, once mare.
On the way back she said, "You know, you're the strangest person, Dan Rorimer."
He had been driving along in silence for some minutes, the wind;

"Why do you say that?" Dan wanted to know.
"Because," Maris replied, "no man can really love a woman who loves his art the way--you're laughing, aren't you?" she suid, and she made a face,
And she insisted: "But Garry Sloan is an artist-a real artist. You can dislike Gary Sloan-and many people do, because he takes himself so seriously--but he's a wonderful director; you can't take that away from him. If he had done this picture, now," she said, meaning the one they had come to see, "it would have been a great picture. But the best you can say for it is that it's a good one."
