vhaPAEK XLVII Ought she write a letter of condolence to Walter? She told Grace that her grandmother was dead and Grade, nursing an enormous doll in a shiny black pram, gifts of Lester, stopped long enough to say cheerfully, “I thought she died long ago. . . But Helen forgot all about Anastasia and Walter in the next few days. Flowers, books, candy, gifts came by every post from Lester. He sent her little notes scribbled at conferences. Lester Molyneux in love was a boy of eighteen. The following week-end Helen waited for his car at the gate. He was jubilant. The back of his roadster was a mass of boxes. He remembered everyone. Port for Daddy Terhune; a combination collar and rings for a new kind of dog run for Cecily’s pet spaniel; toys for the children, books for old Mrs. Terhune. Little Woolie got a wooden Montessori toy that built things by joining colored sticks. Woolie's little brow was rutted with concentration as he picked up the colored sticks with his chubby fingers. Miss Fredericks burst out laughing. “Look, when he wrinkles his brow he looks just like his father.” There was a short painful silence. Cecily's face turned a brick-red. Miss Fredericks’ laugh died on her lips. Helen managed to smile. “Yes. it’s true. I never noticed it till now.” Lester suggested quickly: “Come on over to our fence. I have something for you.” They perched together on the stone wall, Helen swinging her legs. She wore a white crepe dress without sleeves which made her sunburned arms and neck darker by contrast The loose thick hair over her ears lifted in the breeze. Lester studied her appreciatively. “You're so beautiful,” he sighed. “I could just sit and look at you forever.” “Lester! Flatterer! What’s the surprise? I’m all excited.” He drew from his pocket a velvet box. He opened it slowly. Gleaming brilliantly against orchid satin was the biggest diamond Helen had ever seen in her life. It was square and set very simply. “Do you like it?” he inquired tenderly. “It’s very lovely." He slipped it on her finger and then covered her finger and hand with kisses. But when he took her in his arms, something stopped in Helen. She couldn’t stand it. But she steeled herself because she couldn't bear to hurt him. The ring filled her with dread because it brought her marriage closer to reality. She was engaged. Os course, it was lovely being engaged. Back in New York, in the fall, Lester announced the engagement at a vast party in his apartment on upper Fifth Avenue overlooking the park. The next day Helen’s picture was in the paper over the story. "Mrs. Helen Schiller Riley . . . formerly the wife of Walter Riley, owner of the Anastasia Beauty Salons . . the marriage ended in divorce in December, 1927.” Helen in bed next morning studied the announcement. The Rileys couldn’t help seeing it. It was on the second page. They were all avid newspaper leaders. Would Walter send her a letter o; congratulation? Did a former husband congratulate a former wife on a later marriage ? How queer it al! was! Her ring! Helen experienced a momentary fright. Then she breathed a sigh of relief. It was on the perfume tray on the dresser. She £ot out of bed to get it and scurried back under the covers. She must have taken it off last night without thinking. She shuddered. She slipped it on her finger now and twisted it around by the stone. It didn't feel comfortable. She was 100 conscious of it. Its value was a heavy responsibility even though it was insured. It didn't seem quite right to carry so much money on one’s finger. It seemed to Helen that it weighed a ton. • • • As her wedding drew near, Helen became panicky. True, she enjoyed getting a trousseau with Cecily’s help. Cecily’s pleasure in lacy negligees, silk nightgowns and handmade underwear made Helen's heart ache. Griscie’s appendicitis in December gave them a bad scare but it also ■ame as a godsend. The child was deathly tick. The wedding had to

oe postponed. For ner convalescence Helen took the child south. “It's iust as well,” Helen consoled Lester before they left. “I’d rather be married in June anyway and then we can go around the world without a worry. By that time I won’t be nervous about leaving Gracie.” Lester, truly concerned at the child's illness, said nothing at all. Helen, sensitive, to his every feeling, sat down on his knee and wound her arms about his neck. "Darling, you’ve been so kind and patient. But admit, dear, it was something entirely outside of our control.” "I do admit it, darling, only , . . I’m not a patient man.” She was frightened at the depths of his passion for "her but she hoped that once she let herself go it would not be so bad to be drawn into the well of his desire for her and she would try hard to respond. • • • The stock market was on everyone's lips. Lester was in a fever of money making. The fortune he was piling up was staggering. "It can't go on, Lester. I’m scared to death. It's like a fever, like Grade's fever It’s dangerous. Get out, Lester, I can’t stand it.” “I’ll get out soon,” he promised, his eyes gleaming. “Scon!” "Lester, the excitement of the gain doesn’t compensate for the fear of losing. Get out. I don’t like it. I don’t want so much money. I have a feeling that I'd like to throw it away by handfuls.” He took her down one day to the Stock Exchange in the fevered days of February, 1929. He was amazed at her revulsion; he had only wanted to amuse her. "It's horrid! Men mak.ng beasts of themselves. I hate it! Get out of it, I bate it. I’ll hate you if you don’t” She was almost hysterical. He looked at her curiously. "Very well, I will.” Lester Mclyneaux sold out that week. He was to regret it later when stocks rose again to dizzying heights but he was also to rejoice that he came out practically unscathed with a huge fortune salted away in government securities when the great crash came. The wedding date was qjwe more set definitely for Christmas Eve, by which time Lester hoped to have dosed up his affairs and have the freedom to travel and to take the holiday he had planned all his life. In September came the first crash that shook the country and in October the second, that amounted almost to panic. Lester’s office was so busy that Helen couldn’t get him on the telephone. All their friends were affected, many seriously. Two of Lester’s clients committed suicide. Leater was head over heels in work—and their marriage one month off! Everyone’s losses were terrific. Even those conservatives like the Terhunes, who had never seen the stock market, saw their holdings shrink like a deflated inner tube. “What is happening?” old Mrs. Terhune quavered, bewildered. “Don’t worry,” Lester assured her. “Give me al! your securities. I know I can exchange them for you —or something.” Through Mi.-s Fredericks, Helen heard of the effect of the crash on Walter. Irene Terhune hail to let Wells’ nurse go. Walter Riley had lost the big Brooklyn Salon, also the smaller orc, also the Fourteenth Street and Broadway branches. The only places left were Anastasia’s Thirty-fourth and the Forty-fourth Street branches. The Fifty-seventh Street Salon was running at a terrific loss. Sill he clung to it. Helen was shocked. In the two years since her divorce she had never seen Walter. When Irene called on the Terhunes with Wells as she did frequently, Helen managed to be out. She had given up hope now of hearing from Walter—for a while after her engagement was announced, she half expected to hear from him . . . some word, even a bitter word. As soon as Helen now heard the news from Fredericks, she called Lester. "Les. may I come over for a minute? I want you to write a letter for me if you’re not too busy, dear.” “It’s all right. Come along.” A few minutes later Helen was in his office.

anyway. 1 cant imagine you eve« being caught in any jam.” “Sold out? I would like the devil, ’ he commented amiably. “What shall I tell him?” He tried to keep his voice impersonal. “I want it to be a strictly formal, legal business letter. Tel’ him that I, the future Mrs. Molyneaux, you know, as your wife, I don’t want him to send money for the children. Tell him—but gently, I wouldn’t want to hurt his feelings—that it will no longer be necessary and that payments can stop forthwith. Is that a legal term—forthwith? It’s such a nice, mouthy word.” Lester tapped a pencil against his finger. “Just what is the purpose of this letter, Helen?” “He's broke, Les. He’s got all those sisters to support. We have so much. He sends a hundred a week for the children. They don’t need it now that you’ve set up the trust fund for them. I’m sure he could use it to advantage himself.” Lester scrutinized her face for a long instant but Helen was busily engaged in finding her handkerchief. “Very well, that’s fair enough.” He pressed a buzzer and his secretary entered. “Take a letter. Miss Klotz, please, to Mr. Walter Riley, the Anastasia Beauty Salon, on Fifty-seventh Street.” He dictated slowly, Helen listening attentively. “Les, can’t you put in somewhere, ‘my fiancee?” Lester laughed. “I’d love to darling, but this is a strictly business letter. I rather suspect the gentleman knows! Okay, Miss Klotz. Do you want to go into the library with a good book, darling? I have two people to see and then I’ll be free to have lunch with you.” Helen smiled at him from the doorway. “You’re a dear. Lester.” He balanced the pencil on bis finger-tips. “Love me a little?” "Yes.’ r “A lot?” "Yes, sir!” “That's better.” He blew a kiss at her as she softly closed the door. • • • He brought Walter’s answer down to her two nights later. She was dressed for the opera and she wore a chinchilla wrap which Lester had solemnly presented to her as part of his debt to her for saving his fortune. "How nice you look, Les.” She smiled. She straightened his tie and blew an imaginary speck from his immaculate silk lapels with little fond pats. “Did you go to the gym today?” "No, darn it, I didn’t have time but I did my exercise in my imagination. It was most wearying and hence ought to be beneficial.” “Naughty. Tomorrow I’ll call for you and put you through your paces myself.” "How’s the old lady's cold?” “She’s better, thanks. Daddy’s reading to her. Ces is at the Lockwoods’ tonight.” "Kids in bed?” “Os course. You ought to hear young Woolie admire my wrap. He was quite rapturous.” “Kid’s got taste. Oh, that reminds me. Here’s the response to your magnanimity.” He handed Helen the letter with a quizzical expression. It was on the Anastasia letterhead and was typewritten. Before she read it she glanced at the signature. It brought him back to her so vividly that she gasped. She read the letter slowly. Dear Sir: I have your letter of even date. Will you kindly inform your client, Mrs. Helen Riley, that I prefer to support my children and shall continue sending the amount decided by the law to her for their maintenance each month. In the event the money is not needed now, it is to accrue to my children's credit for future use. Very truly yours. "Well, what do you think of it?” Helen smiled crookedly. She slipped the letter into her beaded bag. “It's his terrific sense of responsibility. Les. He’ll send that money if he has to dig ditches for it.” “Stubborn ass.” “Yes, he’s stubborn.” She aighed. “His sense of think I don’t appreciate it's value. I even admire it—but in his ease, it has wrecked his life.” She drew a deep breath, then said brightly, “Well, that’s that! I’m ready, dear.” (To Be Continued) (oojrlrht. 1934. by Julian Messner, In*. Du'rl&uled by King lealM'fi1 ealM'fi iondtcaU, Inc.
