mother and sister, and particularly my stepfather, Jose Alvarez Amezuita, who [ is doing such wonderful work in cancer research. “But what stories those innocent visits I to dinner started. They said, ‘He is lavishing jewels on the actress. It is not safe for any suitor to take her out, he is so jealous!’ When Turhan Bey came down to make a picture, it was even said that there had been threats on Turhan’s life if he continued to be interested in me. “Nonsense — nonsense, all of it. What jewelry I have my parents gave to me. I have interesting pieces.” (She touched the unusual jade disk around her neck that I had noted before.) “I love this old Mexican stone because it is an antique and unusual. I also have a few little gifts of jewelry from Tyrone.” (Perhaps the gold and diamond bracelets — but she didn’t say so.) Neither did she mention anything Turhan might have given her other than his company. As I remember, the Bey never gave anything to Lana, either. The thought prompted me to say — and I wondered how she would react — “You and Lana seem to have a talent for charming the same men, Linda.” I Without batting an eyelash, she replied quickly, “I think that is a very great compliment. Miss Turner is very beautiful. I should like to be like her.” How’s that for diplomacy? This girl has what it [' takes. Getting into a tight comer just I seems to bring out her latent ability to ' meet any emergency with disarming frank j ness. If I had thought she was going to ' dodge Lana, I had another guess coming. “When Tyrone and I met in Italy and were having so much fun together, I thought our dinner and dancing engagements were just a passing thing with him. “I thought there wasn’t a chance for me, that as soon as he got back to Hollywood, he and Miss Turner would be the same as they were before he left home. That hurt, but I tried not to show it. “IIIHEN I read that Tyrone and Lana had I parted. He cabled me and I came on di( rectly to Hollywood even before I went * . home to see my mother.” “How did you happen to be in Rome "p, when Ty was there, Linda?” I asked. |k; She laughed, “Oh, that was just an accident. I was vacationing with my sister. One night I was having dinner with the Italian manager for M-G-M in Italy. He told me that Tyrone Power was in town and said, ‘You Hollywood people U ' should say hello to each other.’ ■;/j “Tyrone wasn’t exactly a stranger. I : had first met him at his house in Acapulco at a party he gave when he was filming : “Captain from Castile.” But it had been ' ■” an enormous affair— hundreds of people. I was not at all sure he would remember me.” jj. I' “And you came to fall in love with him?” Jjvf* I prompted. i wY “It was from the beginning — the first § date,” she agreed. “You know him well, ■; jf so you know what charm he has. j' ft “Tyrone is brilliant. His mind is so il eager and inquiring. And he is an amazing student. Will you believe that he learned H Spanish in only a few months because he i wanted to speak my native language? His ear for languages is so fine that even when : I read German poems to him, I do not have to translate. But with all his charm ■: and brilliance, he is kind and simple. And i best of all, he has the faculty for making me feel that I’m the only woman in the M world for him! It’s a wonderful feeling. It i; gives a woman confidence.” As though anyone needed to give you p confidence, Linda, I thought. The more K I talked wi^^'' ler, the harder it was to I believ** ' lany events in her amaz Love-quix. For Married Folks Only WHAT SINGLE MISTAKE THREATENS HER ONCE HAPPY MARRIAGE? A.
