"MISS DULCY'S fixing the

boller!"

True, there was a measure of excitement in the usually sedate manner of the butler as he made this simple declaration and raced through the kitchen into the outside peace and quiet of a late summer morning in uptown New York. But

not enough excitement

to explain in itself the consterna- tion it caused. The cook -dropped the bowl she was using, the châm- bermaid and the chauffeur fairly leapt from the table at which they

been eating and.__fied_ _after_ Hugging with cries akin to terror. An apparition appearing on the balcony above checked them mo- mentarily in their flight.

"What the devil's going on?". Bill Ward shouted. A bathrobe clutched about him was his only claim to decency.

Blonde, beautiful and balmy - that's Dulcy, the adorable dumb-belle whose misadventures have amused millions of theatre- goers. One of the most popular characters created by the famous American playwrights, George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly, Dulcy is soon to be seen on the screen in Hongkong in the picture of the same name. Dulcy mixes millionaires and maniacs, rúins the sale of an invention and breaks up three romances (including her own). Start reading about her misadventures below.

"Misa Duley" calmly emerging from the cellar below completed the tabelau.

There was n. loud grumbling report. The whole house seemed to shiver. A section of the ban- nister along the balcony teelered fitfully and fell. The servants stood transaxed.

"Earthquake!", cooed Miss Dulcy in sincere ingeniousness and wide- eyed wonder.

"Whose boat?", asked Duley with a bewilderment which was much more.her normal state of mind than an aftermath of the excite- ment of the moment.

"The Forbes! The girl I'm go- ing to marry! Remember?", ex- ploded Bill.

"I don't think I've ever met them", returned Dulcy with slight- ly furrowed brow.

"OL course you haven't--but you will if you'll only get dressed!"

BILL Joined Dulcy at the

He and Martha and Rhods have left. They told me to tell you not to mind about the two weeks' pay you owe them.

"Oh, then I guess they've quii,” was Dulcy's complacent response. "But you're staying. aren't you, Tom?"

"Sure.

I'm kinda eccentric myself," the Irishman replied.

Dulcy was still not interested in the Forbenes and the docking steamer Bill was co anxious to meet,

"Drive as quickly as possible to the Parole Board, Tom," she said, "I have an appointment there to rescue a poor lost soul."

She made

"Are you sure, Miss Ward, that you know enough about this man to have him paroled in your cus- tody?" he asked quite dubiously.

"Oh, indeed, Judge," babbled Dulcy. "I investigated him through our Wellore League. Henry here is really n sweet, simple, loyal, misunderstood per

The Judge turned to look again. All he could see In Henry-with the aid of his well-spectacled eyes and the records before him-was a big hulking convict with close- cropped hair who had spent many years of his life climbing porchen .and snatching pocketbooks!

She did forget the pier number. She went to "Seventy-four" not "Forty-seven".

"What a beautiful thing to do!", was just the kind of gushing re- sponse Dulcy might have been ex- pected-to-make,

"Come along, son," the benevol- ent foster father sald as he tried to gather the youngster up in his arms. It must have been one of Dulcy's controlling imps that made the youngster bite him. "Ouch, you little devil," was not uttered with any great parental love!

"Why. Mr Daly!", exclaimed Dulcy.

"He bit me," was the impatient retort.

The child clung to Dulcy's skirts. "Listen! I'm adopting him - and I'd like to get him home!" sald Gordon petulantly.

"He doesn't want to leave me," observed Duicy delightedly. "May- be it isn't your face he dislikes maybe he's hungry. I think I'd better go with him-just for his. first meal."

"Well, perhaps that would be a help if it isn't too much trouble," replied Gordon good-naturedly.
