As for Yelena, Albertine did not see her again until noon. And Dennis was closeted with Aunt Celia until Bates announced lunch. "Your aunt is having a tray sent up to her room," Dennis informed Albertine. "She wants to rest a little longer before he.' ride this afternoon." Albertine intercepted a glance Yelena flashed to Michael, but could make nothing of it. Dennis she noticed seemed thoughtful and depressed at lunch. She had decided, during the morning, to trust him with the combination of her aunt's safe but, when she smiled at him to convey to him her decision in his favor, he didn't seem to notice. After lunch, she managed to get him alone a moment to whisper, "About the combination--" but he quickly interrupted with "Never mind--I've got what I want." Then, the Russians joiued them. An hour later, Albertine and Aunt Celia set out for their drive. "Mr. Maxwell is leaving us tonight," Aunt Celia said abruptly. .^^,-..„Allufi. "I've decided not to buy after all," she explained. So Denny had failed to make the sale. That, Albertine thought, accounted for the way he had acted during lunch. He was going back to Detroit, taking her heart along with the rubies. And her pearls, she remembered suddenly. She must ask him for her pearls. And she must make him take back that When they reached the village, Bates brought the car to a stop in front of the drug store. "Just a refill of my regular prescription," Aunt Celia instructed him. As he entered 'the shop, the State policeman whom Albertine had seen at the depot ( over to the car. 'How are you, Miss Tevans?" Have not seen you since you got back from New York."

Bob Fletcher looked a trifle flustered--probably, Albertine suspected, because he had taken her for a maid on the day of her arrival. "You haven't been to see me late; ly," Aunt Celia said severely. "I knew you had company, and I was afraid I'd be butting in." "Poppycock!" said the old lady. "You know better than that. Come as often as you can. I hope you and Albertine will be friends." The young policeman smiled, tipped his cap, and departed. "Nice boy," Aunt Celia commented. They drove for more than an hour. Albertine felt relieved when she heard her aunt finally order Bates to turn back. She was impatient to see Dennis and have a talk with him before he left. Home again, she saw from her bedroom window that Dennis was alone in the garden. Hurriedly, she went down to him, only to find that Yelena had joined him. "Aunt Celia tells me you are leaving tonight," Albertine said. "I was just trying to persuade him to show me the ruby collection before he goes," Yelena remarked. "I love jewels." "The Countess," Albertine told Dennis, "has a beautiful sapphire necklace." "Sapphires?" He looked at Yelena. "They would be lovely on you. Won't you please wear the necklace JNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 4th, 1937 night?" the Count- The clasp is bi ess said carelessly. "Aunt Celia was so generous to give me that string of pearls."

Producers realize that few actresses are fit to undertake the b'^ ro'e. They must be neither tall nor equipped with the modern slim silhouette, they must combine regal dignity with almost the suburban simplicity, and they must speak the Queen's English. At '3ast that is the popular conception to which the box office will play up. Actually Queen Victoria talked German in the family circle, and recent biographical estimate, as in the case of her 16th century compeer, Good Queen Bess, attributes the lustre of her reign most of all to the great statesmen and distinguished captains who ennobled it. But highbrow history cannot hope to comr 3te with the popular potency of the film screen. And Queen Victoria's fame is certainly secure so far as it rests on her intense respectability. Under her regime the Smart Set wore red flannel at least metaphorically. His smile had an indefinable secret quality. Albertine's heart leaped. "But--you're going away tonight!" "So I am,'/ Dennis replied. "Shall we all go back to the house now and see what Count Michael is up to'. Denny didn't want to be alone with her, Albertine thought. Consciousness of the fact grew during the succeeding hours when she saw how definitely he avoided her. Disconsolately, she was dressing for dinner when an unsigned note was thrust beneath her door. "Keep it, I beg of you, until I can explain," she read. On the dresser before her, was the star ruby. She had taken it from its hiding place and wrapped it in a bit of tissue paper, with the intention of getting it to ""Dennis somehow. He had apparently anticipated that. With a sigh, she put the jewel back in the powder puff. When she was dressed, she went down to the drawing room, praying that Aunt Celia would not notice that her pearls were missing. But Bates was late in announcing dinner, and Aunt Celia had ample time to discover their absence. Squinting up at her niece she asked sharply. "Your necklace? Why aren't you wearing your necklace?" Albertine's eyes flew appealingly to Dennis, who was lighting a cigarette from a match the Count was holding. "The pearls needed cleaning," he told the old lady. "I'm taking them back to Detroit with me." The Count made a slight exclama- ed at that moment Denny >ias taking a ten o'clock train, Albertine learned. She miserably watched the hands of the clock creep toward that hour. Dinner. Coffee in the drawing room. Music. Shortly after nine, Aunt Celia ordered Bates to bring the car around. Five minutes later, without the slightest warning, the lights went out.

Blast Away Fallen Rock At Niagara Falls, N.Y. NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y--A face-blasting operation on the American Falls was considered as a means of enhancing the beauty of the towering cataract. Engineers said the first major task, if the work were attempted, would be to divert the course of the roaring waterfall to permit dynamiters to function. Rob Roy MacLeod, president of a civil group proposing the operation, said it would remove a huge pile of rocks accumulated at the foot of the Falls in a series of rock slides. Scientists attribute the slides to centuries of "weathering." The blasts would be so arranged as to blow the heap into the deep water of the lower river. In addition to marring the Gorge scenery the rock pile has shortened the sheer drop of the waters by many feet. Small rock slides have been common in the Niagara Gorge, but the slide piled up at the foot of the American cataract tore huge chunks out of the brink. Another major slide weakened Table Rock, near the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. The rock, named as a lure for honey-mooneis, was blasted into the Gorge last July.
