SYNOPSIS Mary Faith and Kimberley Farj rell have been engaged for some time. Mary Faith, beautiful young orphan, gives up her position as secretary to Mars Nesbit when Kim sets their wedding date. His attitude changes brusquely when his mother objects. The Utter treats Mary Faith coldly, i Heartbroken, Mary Faith returns to her office and breaks the news to her co-workers. Mark, taken ill, has Mary i Faith driven to his country home, daily, for two weeks. He tells her of his love for her. She halts him, saying she will never love anyone as she did Kim. While in a jewelry store with Mark, selecting a Christmas ring lor his sister, Mary Faith meets j Kim with a girl. Next morning. Kim calls at Mary Faith's boarding house. 1 He assures her of his love and proi poses immediate marriage. Mary • Faith melts in his arms. Mary Faith tells Mark she is leaving to marry Kim. After a hasty marriage, Mary Faith and Kim drive to his aunt’s house in a neighboring town. For two weeks they live their honeymoon in ecstasy, They return tc town and find Kim's mother ill. Kim's aunt is present. Mary Faith is called a "Puritan’’ by Kim's friends, Claire and Jack Maldon, at a Sunday night party when she refuses to play cards or dance. Kim dances with Claire. CHAPTER XVIII Claire put both of her arms around Kim and closed her eyes as they danced. She was a little girl and her head came just to Kim’s shoulder. It looked very bright against the dark blue of his coat. Sitting in a corner of the blue davenport, watching her, Mary Faith began to feel dull and uncomfortable and out of place. She knew that she had nothing in common with these friends of Kim’s. Claire had told her that she was “funny” and “old-fashioned” because she wouldn’t play cards on Sunday. “What she meant was that I'm slow and narrow-minded,” Mary Faith said to herself. “But if I am, »o was Kim until just lately.” In the days of their engagement Kim had never been much of a drinker or card player. Certainly he never had played cards for money. “What are you looking so melancholy about, Mary Faith?” Jack Maldon came in from the kitchen with a tray of ice and glasses and set it on the mantelshelf. “Aren't we going to play bridge?” he asked, and dropped down beside her on the sofa. “No. I don't play cards on Sunday . . . I’m sorry.” “Would you like to dance?" Mary Faith shook her head and sent him a troubled apologetic smile. “I don't even dance on Sunday. Jack. I'm afraid I'm a terrible spoil-sport.” “No,” he said gravely, “I think you’re all right.... I get a little tired of doing things all the time, mvself. It's a relief just to sit and talk and look at the fire sometimes, isn't it? Even if it's just gas-logs.” At ten o'clock Kim and Mary Faith went home. “Well, what do you think of the Maldons?” Kim asked as soon as they were out of the little flat. “Wasn't the word 'pep' just coined for Claire? She's a dandy girl, isn't she?”

“Isn’t she pretty?" Mary Faith answered him with a question. She was never going to let Kim know that she did not like Claire Maldon and wasn't at ease when she was with her. She was going to accept all of his friends and make them welcome in her home. . . . She was going to make life peaceful and pleasant for him always. "I enjoy going up to their flat more than any place I know.” Kim was saying slowly and a bit thickly. “There's always the makings of a good time there. Claire sure does know bow U> do things, doesn't she? ' Wasn't that a slick little supper she got up?” “Delicious. . . . But I wish you wouldn't drink. Kim. ’ You never * used to drink.”

I' ft l Lot W Sitting in a comer of the blue davenport, Mary Faith began to feel dull and uncomfortable and out of place.

“I don’t drink now,” he said. "Not ! what you could really call drinking ♦* • 1 The uCxt morning Aunt Elia i packed up her things and went home i to Garrettsville. "I'm doing it a-purpose," she told i Mary Faith in her sharp, kindly way. i “If Amelia has to depend on you to ; take care of her for a few days she won’t be so high-and-mighty with you. You and she will get to be pretty good friends if there's nobody but the two of you in the house all day—so I'll just move myself out of the way and give you a try.” What Aunt Ella lacked in English she made up for in good hard common sense. All that week Mary Faith took care of Mrs. Farrell. She made her bed, brought her her meals of chicken broth and milk toast and gave her the medicine that Dr. Thatcher prescribed for her. Dr. Thatcher had been the Farrell’s family doctor ever since Kim's babyhood. He was a tall, broadshouldered man with a heavy, handsome face and iron-gray hair. Mary Faith liked his deep, low voice and his air of authority. "He's a widower," Mrs. Farrell told her, "and they say that half the nurses in town have their caps set for him. But I doubt that he’ll ever marry again—and if he does it’ll be some woman his own age he'll pick, I imagine.” Every morning, when she was expecting him, she would sit up in bed. brushing her thick hair, winding it around her head in a coronet braid that was very becoming to her. and powdering her face. Once Mary Faith came into the room and found her rubbing violet toilet water into the palms of her hands. “Please don't get it into your head that I’m fixing myself up because the doctor's coming.” she said sharply. "I just happen to like a little perfume now and then. It makes the air in the room seem so fresh.” On ‘Friday Dr. Thatcher told her that she was so much better he wouldn't have to come to see her any more, and on Saturday she ge t ' out of bed. Mary Faith sent for her trunks and her cedar chest that afternoon i and she unpacked them while Mrs. • Farrell sat on the living room couch and showed her where to hang the

Simon etching and the bookshelves. “I thought my mother would raise Cain when you brought your things into the house,” Kim said the next i morning when Mary Faith brought | him his coffee. “She would have, | too. if you hadn't asked her where J to put everything and kidded her ■ along the way you did.” "I wasn't 'kidding' her, Kim. I just want her to feel that she and I are partners. Women work together in offices without quarreling and there's no reason why they shouldn't do it in houses. You'll see that she and I will get along all right, if you just give us time.” Mrs. Farrell said that she felt I shaky after her illness, and she spent ' most of the next week reading the 1 books that Mary Faith had brought I from Mrs. Puckett's. She sat all day in her easy chair at the front window, with her feet in her little stool, lost to the world in the pages of “The Duchess of Wrexe or Clayhanger.” All that week Mary Faith had the flat to herself. And to the work in it she brought the same neatness and I deftness that «he had given to her work in Mark Nesbit's office, But . she enjoyed it as she never had enjoyed office work. She took a keen pleasure in the polishing of silver, the washing and ironing of the bedraggled kitchen curtains, the mixing of a salad dressing. She had a system, too. Kim was usually out of the house by quarter to nine, and nine o'clock found her in the kitchen washing the breakfast dishes. The damp gray dishcloth disappeared from its nail under the kitchen sink and a brand-new dish mop took its place. Burnt matches no longer lay scattered on the floor under the gas range. The tea towels were washed out after every meal and hung on a line an the back porch. After lunch she read or rested for an hour or two. Then she took a bath and dressed herself for the rest of the day. carefully brushing her dark hair and powdering her face, making herself as attractive as she could for Kim's eyes. Along about four she would walk down to Kii- ' bane's grocery and market at the i corner and buy the things for dinner (Ta Be Canuauedl Caarriaht.

Society Awaiting New Chapter in House of Rogers Love Story * * * * ♦ * Multi-Millionaire Oil Baron May Rowed Wife, from Whom He Parted Over Titled Son-in-Law, After Second Wife Wins Divorce. !*■ j**'** I ; Ls I l‘ W ■w« ' Il 1 ~ ■Bl jTmiifci ' ilfli biin-_ r ''-' 7 __ I Mas Mary Benjamin RbGE.eS 1 Hrs Arturo That Colonel Henry H. Rogers, multi-millionaire oil magnate, will remarry his first wife, Mary Benjamin Rogers, after his second wife, Mrs. Basil Miles Rogers, gets the Reno divorce, for which she is now in the Nevada divorce territory establishing a legal residence, is the prediction of New York society gossips, who have long followed the progress of the Romances of the House of Rogers. Should the reunion work out according to the course charted by Dame Rumor, it will mean the end of a series of marital difficulties involving father, mother, and daughter, Millkent, which has been parnded before the world for more than a decade. The trouble began with the marriage of Millicent, Colonel Rogers’ daughter, to Count Ludwig Salm in 1924. Mrs Rogers, it was said, favored the count as a son-in-iaw, but the colonel didn’t have much use for a European title, particularly a? the holder thereof was as poor as the proverbial ecclesiastical rodent. But Millicent married her nobleman by the elopement route and the battle was on. Discord reigned in the Rogers household, which culminated in Mgp. Rogers divorcing the colonel in Holland in 1929. Shortly after, he marred Mrs. Basil Miles, widow of an American diplomat. But Millicent, now divorced from Count Salm and happily married to Arturo Ramos, wealthy Argentinian, would have no pari of her step-mother, and once more discord led to the courts. If, and when, the second Mrs. Rogers wins her Reno divorce, New York society is betting that the colonel will be reunited to his boyhood bride, whom he married 33 years ago when a student at Columbia University.
