Ob
Route Between New
Britain and Hartford
--Why Is Norwalk’s
Demand For Busses
Passed By?
3 brought to our attention that forces
upon us ‘the‘concluslon that the
Connecticut Co. is paying scant at—
; tenlion to the transportation needs
of a growing Norwalk.
On Monday. January 6. according
f to news from New Brita-n, motor
. bus service will be started between
I’ that city and Hartford.
The route will lie between Stanley
Quartet In New Britain and West
Hartford. the Hartford terminus be-
ing at the corner of Main and Gold
streets. Basses will be operated
V, such way every hour. The running
_ time will be'db mlulhes.
5‘ We call this announcement to the
» attention of the merchants of the
city and suggest that through the
Nelchants' Division of the Board of
.Trade a strong protest be tiled with
the Connecticut 00.. because of its
'apparently consistent policy at this
at of disregarding the increasing
and for bus facilities here.
We know that Norwailt merchants
losing valuable trade because of
,6 area is being retarded for the
‘ mo reason and that there is every
dicatlon of there being ample
flic profitable to sustain such
, utcs.

, ed would cover the Post road

CHAPTER“
As she tolled li-te a mechanical
robot in Scenes with Couilleigh Cur-
t.s the next morning, it became per-
ctpuhle to Grace Kingston that) Mr.
Lampoon was paying unusual atten-
tion to her. She wondered at this.
and asked herself if Curtis was re-
sponslblt.
The director was more verbose in
his explanations to her of what he
wanted done. and took the time to
'work" her up to certain pitches
when. it seemed to her. these tem-
pos Were totally irrelevant to the ac-
tion of the scene.
And as the morning wore on. she
comd see tnal. Utiriis was irritated by
the attention being given her by his
director. The rest of the company
began to notice it. too: and Anita
Williams developed a pout. it look-
ed as if she. the ieadmg woman, was
being shiltcd into the background ln
l‘mor of Betty Byrde.
Under the circumstances it was
annual for Betty (as we shall call
her in this narrative henseiorth) to
wonder‘lt Lampsons new interest
was personal. 'lhc thought caused
her to'shudder. He was middle-
asvd. and ugly.
Her imagination was set afire
when Lampoon approached her at
the cessation of WJl'K tor lunch. and
said: “Mr. Ls Vino Wishes to see
you in his ‘ofllce. i believe he will
be in at this hour." 5 lie smiled
warmly.
Mr. La Ville!
for a mmule.
"You needn't bother about taking
off your makeup." Lampoon added.
Of course Betty knew the ions.

and approach. with awe. Mr. La
ville you see. is the most tmportanl
person in the world to a host at
hopelul youths.
Betty had never seen the star-mm
her. When she had passed twu
secretaries to gain admittance to his
sauctmmsanctorlum. she found her-
self nervously facing a short. benign
man with florid cheeks. There was
so little hair on the top of his head
that his van Dyko board gave the
impression of being false.
“l'm Betty Byrd; " she said. fool-
ing much more uncomfortable than
she eVel' had before a camera.

chair: “Please be seated."

“Ah.. Miss Byrde. 1 have seen

Betty's eyes hung upon his as if
that Jackie wants you for “The

"Yes. but that's so indefinite and

certain."
“Well. what they'll probably do is
give you a contract for a year or
two. or even three. at 875 a wait.

Betty surveyed her doubtfuliy.

It was an awkward situation for
Betty. She didn t know What to

could refuse.
"Yes." she murmured hesitantiy.

Alta was a discerning woman:
she read the other woman's doubt.
