A day in the boiling sun as one at

Betty. The Peerless studio keeps
the members or its stock company
busy. Chet Carter searched the lot
for her at noon fruitlessly. She
leached. with \the other extras. on
"location: ’whicb was in a. _"cow
town" in the San Gonzalez canyon.
She came home with a smarting
skin. irritated by the dusty ride into
{he city. and then a weary ride in a
crowded Western Avenue bus to Sun
Grove Boulevard.
"l'm dead." she murmured to Al-
ia. collapsing into a. chair. "l'm
horribly sun burned ,nud I'm dirty,
and I'm sleepy. and I'm hungry."
"There isn't a thing to eat in the
house."
"Oh. gee!
out."
"You can call )lucey's restaurant
down on the corner, and have them
send in a dinner." 4
“That’s a. good idca. May I or-
lder two. and have you as a guest 1'"
"No. I'm going out." There was
no cordiality in Alta's tone.
Betty was in a. mood to talk.
"\Vell. I’m an extra girl again," aim
said, throwing of: her pumps. "I'll
never get a vacation new."
Alta. continued to read. Belly
turned her head so that she could
see the title or the book. It was
‘A Passage to India." by E. M. For-
ster.
"0h. I'd Hits to road that when
you get through." she exclaimed.
"I love travel books and India."
' I'm too tired to go

page Alla replied. "this isn' t a. travel
book: it' s a novel. '
.Alta‘s tone wore upon Betty's
nerves. It seemed as it the other
woman was deliberately trying to
bo disagreeable. She picked up her
shoes and moved into her own room.
This room. which had always been
agreeable to her, now become de~
pressing. lt‘s smallness cramped
her. As she bathed she decided to
look for a bungalow and leave Alia.
"I can easily afford it." silo reason-
ed . She was eager io lave a house
of her own. She knew at a court
where bungalows were smaller, and.
probably. less expensive than that
which Carter occupied. She had
passed it‘ many times ‘ with me
thought that she would like it for
her own. She wanted to have a. kit-
chen; she thought that she would
like to cook. (This would have
amused her mother. upon whom
Grace's aversion to cooking had been
impressed.)
This thought oi a home or her own
revived her sagging spirits. and soon
she was singing. She made so much
noise that she didn't hear Alm's lirst
rap upon the bathroom door.
"A telephone call."
"Who is it?"
"I don't know."
”Then it isn't Curtis. It's Carter."
Betty surmised. "Tell him l‘m not
