CHAFTKR THIRTY-FOUR Patricia was dressing slowly, soberly for dinner She had a beautiful room, the blue room Clark bad called it. a lovely place with fittings. draperies, wall paper, al) in blue, expertly keyed to one window which framed the Sound like a picture. Everything possible had been done to make the outsider feel comfortable and at ease. A maid rapped at the door, peeped inside, spoke as Patricia turned from the dressing table. “Would Miss Haverholt like help?” “No. thank you.” said the girl She sat down, clasped her hands about her knees and tried to puzzle it out. Why should the longed-for visit suddenly seem dull and flat and unimportant? Her welcome had been al) that she expected. Everyone had been nice; Mrs. Tracy had been more than that Patricia told herself that she should be loving every minute of this. Somehow I she was not Was it Marthe? Was she jealous of Marthe? She bravely considered It The afternoon on the lawn came back to her She recalled Marthe’s appearance at the bridge table. Marthe enveloped in a voluminous beach robe. Clark beside her. trim in his bathing suit regretting audibly that Patricia was not to join them “Maybe we will have her with us in the morning," Marthe had suggested. not caring really (as why should she?) but nevertheless smiling kindly at the younger girl. “Maybe you will have her. maybe you won’t." Mrs. Tracy had declared unexpectedly “1 don't mind saying that this child is the first partner I’ve ever had who thoroughly understood my game." Nice to be wanted, to be argued over. Patricia tried to convince herself But there was the trouble. Mrs. Tracy was interested in her. granted, as a bridge player But not as a person. She did not really belong here, not as Marthe did. not as the other girls did. Marthe might be utterly hopeless at bridge and still she could lay an affectionate arm on Mrs. Tracy’s shoulder, and confidently interrupt that lady’s favorite pastime while she chattered of plans for tomorrow, of plans for a year from tomorrow, serenely sure of herself and her audience. If Marthe preferred swimming to bridge she would most certainly say so. Marthe would do as she chose, always She couldl Wasn’t she Marthe March, secure in her own position and in Clark’s love, an ever beloved guest here, ' almost the daughter of the house already? “You are jealous,” whispered Pa- 1 tricia to herself. She buried her chin in her hands. I More of the day came back. There was the scene on the verandah 1 when the others, the boys and girls, I her own contemporaries, had trailed 1 up from the pool to the house, to I dress for dinner as she should be ' dressing now The picture was as ’ clear in Patricia’s mind as a snap- < shot. Clark had introduced every- 1 one. had stood proudly aside, anxious that his friends should like t her, anxious that she should be t popular She had been popular in a I way. Patricia saw herself surrounded by a ring of eager chattering men, Bob Crittenden. Phil < Gove.

Marthe, Virginia Crittenden, slim, cool-eyed little Mrs. Wardell, had drifted away. They had been there and then quite suddenly they weren't Patricia’s cheeks burned in memory. Clark had not noticed, of course. None of the men had noticed. “There wasn't anything to notice,” said Patricia aloud. She stood up. She told herself sternly that it was natural that the newcomer should make the first overtures. She determined to do just that Somehow she must win Marthe’s friendship. If Marthe liked her. the rest of the girls would follow. With the girls on ner side she might save something from what she feared was going to be a terrible week-end. Julian had been right. A thousand times Patricia wished that she had stayed in town. But she had not! Now she must see it through She had very probably imagined things that weren’t true. Resolutely, deliberately. Patricia selected the most becoming frock in her wardrobe—Julian had always liked it best—a frock of softly flowered taffeta with a row of flat roses outlining the decolletage in the back, a frock that suited her shining hair, her clear, luminous skin. The gold slippers, the amber necklace, a last dusting of powder and she was ready. After a long survey of the mirror. Patricia felt better. She would look as well as the others anyhow. Dropping over her arm the little jacket which she did not intend to wear. Patricia started downstairs. As she reached the great foyer with French windows opening on the glassed-in piazza she heard a drift of feminine voices, Marthe’s voice and Virginia Crittenden’s. Here was her chance. Patricia took a long breath and advanced to the door. She saw them, four women, lounging, smoking, talking. In one awful moment she saw them, saw their dresses. In the same moment they saw her. Patricia felt that those four had a thousand eyes. “What a pretty frock,” said Marthe. who was clad as if for the afternoon in a tube-like dress of coral linen. The others, who were wearing, respectively, cotton, shantung, striped tub silk, added a soft chorus of approval. “I’m sorry now we didn’t dress,” said Marthe, smiling at the girl who stood rigid in the doorway. "Still I couldn’t have dressed,” she confessed quite frankly with a little laugh for her own stupidity. "It never once occurred to me to bring an evening rig from town. Silly of me You. Miss Haverholt, you put us all to shame.” “You certainly do," said Virginia gently. Patricia managed a ghastly smile. She hated them, hated their bright, amused, expectant faces How was she to know? No one had told her. How could she be expected to know that one dressed for din-' ner in the country exactly as one dressed for a tennis match or for a round of golf. "But aren’t you going to join us?” asked Marthe and promised sweetly, “The men will soon be herd?” “I think—" stammere-l Patricia —“I think I had better -hang- my clothes." “My dear, I wouldn’t dream of I it!” Marthe was a pietur- of fir ; prise. “Why should you change.’ We dress exactly as we choose here we always have, in fact it’s my opinion that we’re inclined to let down a little just because we’re in

as a site for the building of the houses. The first community housing project was authorized at Headsville, W. Va. The probable site of the housing [project is the Mrs. Alvira Cade I tarm of 80 acres at the edge of the city, located on what is known as Mud Pike, a few hundred feet south of High street. An option at I SIOO an acre has been secured by i the local committee. Other sites under consideration are the Ben ; Eiling farm, southwest of Decatur. : the Willis Magner farm, which ad- : joins the Cnde farm and the Fred Reppert farm, east of Decatur on the old Piqua road. The selection ct the site will largely be left up to the government representative. A topographic survey is being made and the farm.

, the country Personally, 1 think it a I great mistake.” ; She appealed to her friends. 1 Again there was murmurous as--1 sent. Anne Wardell wished that she f had only thought to pack the cerise, ■ the low-backed dress she wore to the opera, did they recall it? They . did. Virginia believed that women should seize every chance to look f their best. , "Men like it better,” added Mart the, reflectively. ( There was no escape. Patricia i must smile, must cross the floor in , her twinkling, golden shoes, must I sit in the spot that Marthe indi- . cated. There was no escape. She , sought to slip into the jacket, was , assured that it was a shame to i conceal so lovely a back. The ladies j loved that special deeollctage. They said so. “You look quite like an actress,” Marthe summed it up. "Have you ever thought of the stage?” No, Patricia had not thought of tlfe stage. That was too bad, with her looks. Nowadays the stage presented such marvelous opportunities Marthe recalled Bill Thornletgh's marriage, his wife, the little girl who had danced in the Brevities. Os course the marriage had not stuck but Bill’s father had made the divorce worthwhile. That girl was fixed for life. “She wasn't one-half so pretty as you, my dear," said Marthe generously. The sport went on. Patricia knew that they were assuring her. and not too subtlely, that she was an outsider and would remain so. Who was she anyhow, this crimsoncheeked, suffering girl that they ' should be kind? A little nobody tricked out like Astor’s pet horse! They were determined to include her in their talk, to make her its very center. She sat there, responding mechanically to questions while ’ the slow terrible scarlot crept up her neck. They spoke of her afternoon. Had she enjoyed the bridge? Had she won? “That’s good,” said Marthe contentedly, and explained to the 1 others, “Miss Haverholt always wins. I’d love to have her skill and her luck.” She said, “It’s a shame that Clark doesn’t like the game.” She said meditatively, "It was silly of me to suggest the stage. Playing ' bridge as well as you do, there’s no need, really, is there, for you to do anything else?” They talked of bridge. Patricia ' must meet such interesting people. Her own life made their* took very dull. They had stuffy mothers, stuffy fathers, always on hand to check any really exciting fun. It must be wonderful to be free. “Though, there is Julian, of course,” laughed Marthe and asked Patricia, "Does your uncle cramp your style?” No, said Patricia, Julian let her do as she pleased. She agreed that she was lueky. In a kind of numbness she was thinking that there ■ would be no help until the men arrived. The girls might go as far as thej liked then. They would go far. She could not stop them. Only the men could stop them. They wouldn't dare then. With almost gasping relief she heard masculine footsteps, heard Clark’s voice, knetj that help was ep.iroaching. The girls noted her relief, as they had noted everything ' Let them! Patricia did not ' eAre. The men, in their dark coats ’ and flannels, looked like so many angels, uncomplicated, eandid, not caring what any girl wore so long as shr- was pretty and sweet.

location considered, with the best soil adaptable for growing garden vegetables will bo selected. The 1 local committee, of which E. W. Lankenau. manager of the General Electric Company, has been acting as chairman, recommended the prospective sites and Anal decision in the selection lies with the government authorities. The building of the houses will mean the expenditure of more than $125,000. The houses will range In price from $2,000 to $2,500 and are to be sold on a mofithly payment of sls a month. The occupant must pay the taxes, insurance and i upkeep of the property. Local people state that many people now employed in stores and factories live outside of the city.
