Jimmy, as he is called, announces he has planned a theatre party for the family, which includes his mother and sister, JANET. He intends, also, to includes BARRY COLVIN, Janet's flance. Henry Rand is a staunch uphold- er of all the homely virtues, includ- ing that of punctuality, which is al- most a religion with him.

He thought franti- cally of trying to give her some sig- i nal, but didn't dare. "Will you give me my vanity box, please?" they were standing in front of the hat checking' room. He brought it out of his pocket. Mary took it and vanished into a dressing room. ' * He toosed the hat checks to the girl behind the counter.
