This struck me funny and for the first time in over a month I laughed. The Blonde put her head on my shoulder and laughed too a laugh that staggered drunkenly on a voice close to tears. I knew it was time to leave.

I

can still remember the dawn as I turned the corner and up the street toward Mrs. Murphy's house where Peg was. The dawn was a pink coldness, young and exhilarant, stretched tight across the sky; I felt like a vital hand in it.

Suffice it to say I never saw the woman again, but I never lost sight of myself. And although Andy never quite understood, he's happy now the way things turned out. He married a superb woman. They have two of the lovliest children I

know.

And, of course, Peg and I have been happy ever since.

*WELL OF LONELINESS' MOVIE TO BE MADE

In an era when few items of news are startling or unusual, it is none the less astonishing to come across notice that the "Well of Loneliness" is to be made into a motion picture.

It has been announced that Ray Stark, a producer, has purchased the movie rights to Radclyffe Hall's classic story of Lesbianism.

"The Hollywood Reporter" states that the film rights were acquired by Seven Arts Productions and that it is understood that the film will be made for United Artists release.

The "Reporter" further states:

"When the book first was

published it kicked up quite a censor ship storm, as it was said in some quarters that the yarn dealt with Lesbianism."
