CLASSIC Madame Peacock (Continued from l>agc 30; . . . oh, for a very great wliile . . . Slic ran into lier room where, as she knew, lier mother sat, solitary, sewing . . JJetails wrought themselves upon her, . . . The pity of her mother's hands . . . tlie joylessness of her hfe She hiiried her head in tlie patient la]) . . . she sohljcd ... "I am afraid — I am afraid — " Iler mother patted the humihated head. She said no word, being wise. Tlie touch was what the woman wantcil — The bell rang and the head burrowed deeper. "T can see no one — " Jane Goring said, "no one — today . . . dont let them finil me, mother — dont — dont — " Her mother left the room and when she returned, Madame Peacock could hear, from her pillow, that there were others with her.

She put forth her forefinger and, very delicately, traced the features, her own, yet, mysteriously, not her own . . . sharper, keener, sweeter. . . . She looked at McNaughton and she never knew how sweetly, how plaintively, she smiled . . . she didn't have time to, because her head was on her daughter's breast and her arms were clinging about the young slender body, of her own fashioning, her own neglect, and when she raised her head again there was a rainbow across her eyes — Storm Warning {Continued from page 23) directorial ideals are substantially those of King Vidor and Mrs. Sidney Drew. Here let us add his belief in Henry King as a coming directorial force. It is not commonly known that King made the comedy success of last season. "2iVi Hours Leave." King is now with Bessie Barriscale. Storm suggested that we jot down the name of Henry King in our memory book. We offer the suggestion for what it is worth. But — emphatically we ask you to be sure to have Storm in your memorandum book. (Eighty-five) I CAN HELP YOU IF I CAN PUT INTO YOUR HANDS THIS BOOK ON STRONCFORTISM Is Your Wife Proud of You?
