ACT NOW I NEW ENGLAND ART PUBLISHERS, North Abington sit-B. Mass. But they have never for a moment been in love. Don't ask Joan why. He is a handsome, exciting young man. Joan is a beautiftd girl. But their relationship has been one of friendship only. That's how it is and it could never be any other way. Same way with Carleton Carpenter — or Carp, as he is known to his friends. Joan said, "I know it's an old gag to say a boy is 'like a brother to me' but I honestly feel as if Carp were my brother." For one thing Carp is very close to Joan's famUy. When they first met at a square dance Joan said, "You have to meet my mother and father. You'll love them." He met Joan's parents and, sure enough, he did. He's a real show business kid and likes to gossip about Broadway. Besides, he plays a good game of bridge. One of Joan's complaints is that whenever she brings a new beau home the first question Katherine and Dale ask is, "Do you play bridge?" If the beau says, "Yes," then Joan says, "There goes my evening." Not only do Carp and Joan have a lot of fun together, they also share confidences. The year before last Carp took Joan to the Academy Awards presentation and they made a date right then for the following year. But a week before the big shindig, Carp said to Joan, "Look, honey, it's been a year since we made this date. If you'd rather go with somebody else, I'll understand." Joan said, later, "Well, of course, I would rather have gone with Carp than anybody. We had such fun! But honestly did you ever hear of anything so sweet — ^his letting me off the hook if I wanted to get off it? Now that was a real brotherly thing to do." r\ NE of Joan's favorite phrases is, "I just ^ love So-and-So." But she knows the difference between "loving" and "being in love." "Or do I?" she mused. "Maybe I've never been in love. I don't know." Whatever it is, at the moment the Number One boy is Lee Kirby. She met Lee when she worked with her'dramatic coach, Bob Paris. Lee, although an advertising man, is very much interested in acting and has done little theater work. Joan says, "he's one of the nicest persons I've ever known." Joan and Lee have many things in common. They like to ride horseback and they both crave the beach, and are excellent swimmers. "But when people ask me if I'm going to marry Lee I have to laugh. Even if we wanted to, how could we? Wouldn't it be foolish if we did? No sir, I'm not getting married tmtil I'm sure. "And here's something else that you can count on. My statement about marriage is for real. I'm not going to get married until I positively know how I feel and — more important although maybe not so romantic — ^until I'm sure it's practical." And that's Joan Evans, sticking her neck out as usual. This time, as always, she's on the level.
