SYNOPSIS Young and beautiful Stanley Paige loses her fortune through market speculation but a harder blow comes when her fiance, the fascinating, irresponsible Drew Armitage, tells her it would be madness to marry on his income and leaves town Penniless and broken-hearted. Stanley refuses to seek aid from her wealthy friends. Desiring to make her own way. Stanley drops out of her exclusive circle and rents a cheap furnished room. After a week of loneliness and trying to adapt herself to her poor surroundings. Stanley calls on Nigel Stern, one of her society friends, and asks his aid in securing a position Nigel urges her to marry the handsome, and wealthy young lawyer. Perry Deverest. who has loved her devotedly for years, but Stanley's heart is with Drew Nigel suggests that she think it over, and then, if she still wants a position, he will try to place her. Stanley does not go back to Nigel, realizing it would mean meeting all her old friends. One day. when Stanley is more lonely than usual, she meets John Harmon Northrup, a struggling young autjior. and is touched by his sincerity. Stanley finally procures a position and grows curiously content. Then, too. having John Harmon waiting for her st the end of the day. helped make things brighter. He and his ready smile became very important to Stanley. CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE They talked a lot about John Harmon’s book. The first half had already taken shape but the real plan of the book was still in the making. “You know, Stanley,” John Harmon would say, sitting up abruptly on the sand, his eyes excited. "I can figure the thing al) out beforehand—have a definite idea in view -a real plot to follow, sequence, form, all that sort of thing—but when 1 get to writing, it doesn’t work cut that way at all. The people simply won’t do or say the things I planned for them—they take the story and walk away with it—upset the applecart completely I’m perfectly helpless, once I’ve treated a cnaracter, to make it behave!” Stanley, slim in a scarlet bathing suit, her dark hair pushed off her forehead, her eyes shining and completely absorbed, would rush headlong into the cooversatton. “That’s why the stuff you write is so real, he people in your stories aren’t you. saying the things John Harmon Northrup would say, doing the things John Harmon Northrup would do. They’re themselves, each one individual and clean-cut Sometimes they’re so different from you 1 don’t believe you really understood them yourself. Sometimes I think you’re amazed at them or disgusted or even utterly disillusioned!" , “1 am!" John Harmon would admit honestly. “And a little bit scared of them. too. They play the very devil with my originalitysort of discard it as so much bunk and go ahead and write the story themselves Now. take Gloria, for instance " and he would plunge into an hour’s discussion of why she had done a certain thing, reacted to a certain situation in exactly the opposite way from what he had intended. “And the deuce of it is. there's nothing I can do about it!” he would conclude, with a shrug of his shoulders, smoking furiously, one hand ruffling his damp, brown hair. On rainy S"ndays, they would have dinner at one of the little eating places in the Village—perhaps a little French restaurant where there was music and good food and one met informal, interesting people who sat long over their coffee and cigarettes Or perhaps at a little place called the

Sometimes Valerie was included J on these occasions but usually she went with a crowd more to her lik- ’ ing—a crowd of pretty, restless girls, expertly well-dressed, expert- ’ ty well-informed. J “A girl like me," Valerie ex- ’ plained one day. curled up at the ’ foot of Stanley’s bed, wrapped in a r flame-colored coolie coat, “can give ' just so much—and no more. Can feel just so much—and no more. We have to be hard, hard as nails ’ Gosh! What I wouldn’t give to indulge in one real honest-to-goodness ’ emotion—but it wouldn’t pay. Take ' Jimmy, for instance. Well, I don’t ; go out with him any more, I don’t dare. I couldn’t be hard about 1 Jimmy, so I keep away from him.” “But if you liked him. why not ’ go on? Let yourself care?” Stanley looked up a bit puzzled, from where 1 she was drying her hair by the open window. “Because I can’t afford to care for a boy like Jimmy. He’s a shipping clerk on a salary smaller than mine, and sooner or later it would mean marriage, and marriage between us would be hades.” Valerie spoke unemotionally, evenly, with the quiet finality of one who has figured things out carefully and reached an irrevocable decision. ‘Tve seen the sort of marriage ours would be. Seen it all my life—in my own home, in my own street, everywhere. You give up your youth and your good locks and your health, and what do you get? A few months of being happy and then years of being miserable, of being poor, of being always tired : and dragged out. Whejj you start m. yoa're in love and you’re young and you think you’ve got the world by the tail. You get married with just enough Lo live on and no margin — and something happens. You’re sick or you lose your job or your mother-in-law has to have an operation — and there are always children when you can’t even take care of yourself—and you go under. You forget you were ever young or pretty or in love. Ybu get bitter and discouraged and admit you’ve made a mistake but you're caught and you’ve got to keep on.” Valerie stopped, smoked hard for a moment. “No, it’s no good. I've doped it all out. Love is a luxury a girl like me can’t afford. That’s why I take my pleasures lightly and pay little for them. I can’t afford to have any real feelings They call girls like me gold-diggers and I suppose we are—always looking for a ritzy date, always more interested in our dinner than our dinner partners. But why not? We’ve got to have something to make up for all we can’t have.” “I've beard someone talk like that before—about love and marriage. 1 mean—they seemed to have about the same idea.” Stanley spoke quietly. “1 know—that man you were engaged to. I suppose. He wouldn’t give up the luxuries of life—l won’t give up the necessities.” Valerie wrinkled her forehead, stared at Stanley reflectively. “You still love him a lot. don’t you?” “I expect 1 do. Vai.” “Even when you know he isn’t worth it?” “Even then.” “How do you feel about John Harmon ?”" “I don’t know—he’s very necessary to me.” “Did you ever think he might be in love with you?” ‘Tve thought of that, but I don't think he is. He’s never said so.” “He never will, not as long as you love this other man.” “But we’ve never discussed him." “You don’t need to. It’s there m your eyes, in your smile. John Har-

I’m not sure enough about things—but later, after I really know what ■ it’s all about. I’ll come to you.” i Her real reason for not going i was fear—fear that the poor food i and the stifling heat and the long i hours at the office had worn away her resistance and made her susceptible to the rest and physical comfort Ellen would offer, even i urge upon her. Stanley had no illu- ■ sions about her courage but she had a very real desire to see this thing ; through, somehow to find herself and get her feet on the ground. She wantec to do this, she wanted to do it alone. And so she kept away from Ellen and contented herself with brief letters. She had a letter from her aunt. “I must say you are behaving in a most picturesque way 1 can’t imagine why you choose to be so utterly fantastic. If you care to come over and try your luck at matrimony. I can manage to finance you for half a year I think you are absolutely idiotic not to see the advantages of this plan. At least, if you insist upon earning your own living, do find a more comfortable and suitable berth—with your connections, this ought to be easy I must admit I have never been able to understand you but I am fond of you and feel a certain responsibility." From Perry Deverest had come a rather long letter, an oddly serious, surprisingly adult letter. “I can’t help feeling, Stanley, that if you had never met Drew, when the crash came you would have married me and we would have found happiness together. I realize this can probably never happen now. but neither that nor anything else can ever change my feeling for yon If you could see your way to letting me come to you, Stanley, 1 promise on my real love for you to respect your love for him. If you could let me give you the further protection of marriage, I would ask nothing from you except the pleasure of taking care of you. of knowing that you were safe and, if not happy, at least not alone and uncomforted. If you can do neither of these things, then at least write and let me know how things are with you." She had answered this, writing to Perry as she would have talked to him. "1 wish it might have happened, Perry—l think you are probably right and that it would have happened but for Drew. But there was Drew—and it didn’t. I have nothing to give anyone—and no one can give me anything I’ve got to get over this alone 1 wish 1 could feel differently about this, that I could turn to you for the courage and comfort and balance that I so terribly need. But it’s no good, my dear; peace won’t come that way—not through you. Perry, c.ot through anyone. I’ve got to find it in my own heart I’m still floundering, but | at least I’m not sinking and to let you come to me now would be ex- ; actly that—an admission of defeat —a stop to a tired mind and a weary heart. It might be respite ! for now but later on it would be— ' hades. So I’m going on alone and I ' know you’ll understand." This letter had been written a week after [jer visit to Nigel Stern. Since then she had heard no word from Perry—she had not expected to. She thought of him sometimes and always affectionately.

WHAT IS 'home SARDEN ?!

Early Spring ( are of Lawns

In beginning spring gardening operations include early spring care of the lawn in your plans. For the lawn is the carpet of that ; outdoor living room where you will be spending so much of your time iu the coming months. It is the foundation on which you are building, it can make or mar your j outdoor surroundings. Grass makes its best growth I early in the season, when cool temperatures prevail, and we should therefore see that conditions are favorable to this early . growth. One of the most important requirements is to see that there is in the soil an ample supply of available plant food—that ; is, plant food capable of being dis- ! solved and assimilated by the plant. Well nourished grass becomes ’ vigorous and hardy. It can with- ; stand abuse, pests and diseases to
