SYNOPSIS Lily Luu Lansing, young and pretty telephone operator, gives up her opportunity for an operatie career to marry wealthy Ken Sargent. Ken’s parents had hoped their son would marry the socially prominent Peggy Sage and threaten to have the marriage annulled. The young couple go housekeeping and are ideally happy. Then Ken loses his position and. one night, Lily Lou hears him sobbing. Next day. Ken’s father calls on Lily Lou. He stuns her with the news that her marriage has been annulled, and gives her SSOO and a railroad ticket to New York. Feeling that Ken no longer cares, Lily Lou leaves. She arrives in New York and takes a furnished room. Lily Lou is just about desperate searching for work when Maxine Rochon, another lodger, offers her a position playing the piano for a dancing teacher. She and Maxine go to live with the wealthy Mrs. Paula Manchester, whose hobby is befriending young artists and boarding them reasonably in her sumptuous home. Lily Ix>u receives a paper from home with the society section marked in black pencil. CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE Lily Lou read the announcement of Miss Peggy Alexandria Sage’s engagement to Kentfield Carey Sargent, Third. Ken . . . engaged to the Sage girl, just as if he wasn’t ... as if they hadn’t been married. . . . She sat down on the arm of a chair, suddenly conscious that her heart was thudding painfully. She

thought, "He might have written me ... it would have been . . . the gracious thing. . Not that it mattered, of course. Their marriage was annulled. She was nothing to Ken. He was nothing to her. Naturally Peggy got him on the rebound . . . well, maybe they’d all be satisfied now. Ken’s mother. His red-faced father. All of them. The room was very warm. She got up and opened the window, standing close to it, glad of the cool, autumn air. It occurred to her that the hills would be green again in California. The new grass would be forcing its way up through the golden stubble of summer. Like spring, out there. A nfw stirring of life. Thirsty things freshening in the first rains. And here, autumn. Death . . . frost touching flowers and blasting them , . . chill settling. . . . “Dinner’s ready. Miss Lily Lou,” Sadie called in her soft, southern voice. “Thank you, Sadie, I’ll be right out,” she answered automatically. “I hope they’ll be happy,” she thought, closing the window, powdering her nose as automatically as she had answered. "There's no reason why they shouldn’t. I don’t wish them any hard luck.” It seemed to her that she was aking it very bravely—like the sort of girl she always pretended to be to Ken ... and really wasn’t. She felt almost haopy for a moment, and then she realized that it didn t matter how she took it. She hadn t anything to say. She was cast out, forgotten. They hadn't asked her opinion or approval. It was just as ft was the first time. No choice. She’d never really given him up. ... He just gave her up. “Lily Lou! Dinner’s waiting, dear.” Mrs. Manchester’s voice. “Coming!” She looked at herself in the mirror. She looked quite as usual. Quite as if nothing had happened. During dinner she was preoccupied, planning the sort of letter she would write to May. She would have to say something. May would expect her to say something. She was startled to see that her plate was empty.

Funny how you can eat, and sleep, and go on living, and your heart all dead. Days passed. A week. Two weeks. Lily Lou was so gay that Mrs. Manchester was a little alarmed. It didn’t suit her. Why couldn’t she be her type, and leave the other sort of thing to Maxine? Now if she was going to turn sut giddy and silly, instead of attending to her music and making it worth your while to look after her. . .. Some hint of Mrs. Manchester’s displeasure came to Lily Lou, finally. She didn’t know what she had done, or left undone, to displease her. “The dickens with her!” she thought, trying to be care-free and independent like Maxine. That was the way to get through life — Maxine’s way— just laugh, and don’t think. . . . Yes, and that was the trouble. When she wanted to think she couldn’t. She couldn’t practice. No use having her voice tried while she felt like this. Wait . . . just a little longer. Don’t let yourself get panicky. Don’t give in to it.... Don’t get scared, or you’re lost. Stop worrying, put your mind on Wanda’s bookkeeping. ... That bookkeeping was terrible. She worked on it every morning, but it was so hard to make head or tail of Wanda’s figures, and she flew into such a temper when you asked her questions. “The Hawleys haven’t paid for two months. Miss Pillsbury. Hadn t I better send them a statement?” “The Hawleys! You’re crazy, Lansing. Alice always brings the cash on the first. Mark it paid.” “There's no record of it —” “Well, mark it paid, anyway.” “Yes, but if you—’’ “Who's running this class? It’s my money, isn’t it? Don’t get me all upset now. I’ve got a full afternoon ahead. Look and see if I paid the Marshall Ormsby people for those sandals, will you? You can’t find it! Ye gods, Lansing, what kind of a bookkeeper are you? Well, never mind. I think I did and 1 forgot to make a stub in the check book. Mark it paid, and if 1 didn’t pay it they'll send a collector or some- • thing. Honey child, could you just leave that bookkeeping, and walk

LIQUOR TRIAL STARTS TODAY ; .CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE 1 — , Since his indictment, the mayor lias ‘ faced impeachment charges which i still are pending. The Anderson indictments com- , pose one of two large alleged conspiracies uncovered by federal agents recently. Thirteen Muncie [tesidents. including Mayor George ' R. Dale and several other city oSfi- ' rials, are scheduled to stand trial next Monday on conspiracy charges. The Anderson trial is expected to last through tomorrow. District Attorney George R. Jeffrey announced that the government would summon 77 witnesses. Jeffrey is assisted in the prosecution by Alex G. Cavins and Telford B. Orbison. Twenty-eight indictments were returned in the Anderson case. Ten persons pleaded guilty and four have not been arrested. Those pleading guilty will be sentenced at the close of the trial. Following is 4 list of the 14 called to trial today: Riggs, said to have collected "protection” money from bootleg gers and distributed confiscated liquor among friends of the adminirtration: Lavelle, former boxer, charged with delivering confiscated

Thirty-four, and if it runs small, get a thirty-six. And hurry, will you, dear?” Sometimes Lily Lou thought she’d go mad. She didn’t know which was the worst, being bookie eep er, janitress and personal maid in the morning, or playing the piano in the afternoons. Hour after hour of it, her fingers I aching, her head splitting. The tap of the children's feet on the floor. The sound of Miss Pillsbury’s shrill instructions: “Step, slide, step, step, slide, step —Evelyn! Pay attention! All right, Lansing, start again. One, two, three, two —” At night she was too tired to do anything but crawl into bed. Lie there like a log until sleep came Keep your mind blank . . . don t think, don’t think. Laugh! Because ; if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry. The family kept writing. “Aren’t you studying yet? Tolari isn t the i only teacher in New York. Are you , sure you are well?” That was it. She wasn’t well. It was because Wanda kept the studic . too hot. “I can’t get used to all that steam • heat, and it isn’t cold, really Couldn’t we have the transom ; open?” she begged. Wanda Pillsbury looked at Lily Lou with a strange gleam in hei eye. “What IS the matter with you, Lansing? You haven’t been up t< . any mischief, have you?” J “I don’t know what you mean But I tell you, I’m stifling. It’s s« I ghastly hot I can’t stand it. I don’t ’ see how the children —” 1 “The children are all right. S<. ’ am I. Now don’t have hysterics. You aren’t going to faint on me, art you? Get out in the hall and get ’ some air.

Mills eaid Koop would "stand by to give the senate economy committee any details on. midget matters they desired." Walter Newton, the president's political secretary, also was present. He said that "in a general way the economy omnibus bill stands before the senate much in the position that it did originally before the house economy committee."
