With the IW/B Pot Plants For Indoor Window Box They Furnish the Right Spot of Color or an Accent to Finish Off a Room. ts ft A * ‘ n* ® A o c ® c •<- |•♦ ♦ ♦ How They Are Arranged: A’s are Cyperus or Umbrella Plants: B’s are Aspidistra: C’s are Bi-Colored Caladium; and D’s are Vinca Vine. A fine way to cheer up a drab living or lining room is to add an indoor window box of pot plants. You have no doubt admired grandmother's sunny window of geraniums and ferns, with perhaps a. tall rubber plant or two. and although it might not be exactly to your taste, you must remember that grandma harks back to the 80’s for her ideas. Modem women have modernized the indoor window box to fit in with smaller windows and the new trends in furniture arid decoration. Window- boxes anti ornamental pot plants have come to be a godsend to many a perplexed lady who is searching for the right spot of color or an accent to finish off a room. Oftentimes the sofa or fireplace do not furnish the focal point in a. living room, no matter how we try- to organize our furnishings. This is because of the windows. They are always large and with the sunlight streaming in. they cannot help but detract from other objects. Curtains and draperies tend to soften this cry for attention somewhat, but in the case of a brilliant exposure, or where there are many windows, the problem is almost impossible. In such cases we can do well to emphasize the windows, instead of subduing them, and the beet way to do this by growing a window box of flowers. They will find a natural situation in this sunny spot, and add much color and fragrance, besides being interesting to watch grow and bloom. Window- boxes can be grown for brilliant blossoms or for colorful foliage. Tlie vinca vine is an exj cellent vine type of indoor plant for this time of year. It has a fine foliage that drapes over the side and provides a setting for other plants. Cyperus. or umbrella * plant, is another noted for its fol- : iage. which much resembles a pot- ; al cluster, but it more sturdy and I lasting than a blossom. The bi- ' colored caladiums are a vivid race. . with large tough leaves which blend brilliant colors with their outer rim of green. Aspidistra, a straight, sword-like plant, is an excellent lasting l type for indoors. Blooming plants, such as ageratum. geranium, azalea and others rat be grown. They produce much more color but are not so lasting, j and usually must be replaced at >OTICE OF FI\4E SETTLKMHAT OF EST ATE \O. 35*7 Notice ie hereby <tven to the creditors. heirs and legatees of Arnold I L.

“Sweepstakes on Love" L 1 by May Christie ■-

SYNOPSIS The socially elite Diana Darlington and Regina Hyde are rivals for the love of Roger Dexter, eligible young bachelor. Although Diana enjoys a much higher social position than Regina, the latter s wealth seems to more than balance the scales. Diana wants to work but her mother, Genevieve, will not hear of it. Mrs. Darlington secretly makes a living by sending her friends to different modistes, beauty salons, etc. Her one hope is for Diana to marry wealth as soon as possible. So. she arranges for her daughter’s debut in a suite at the Parkview Hotel furnished “free” by the management for the publicity to be gained via the best people” who would attend the party. Even the champagne is gratis, donated by the very “common” Alfred Flegenschultz. former bootlegger but now a leading liquor merchant. In return, Genevieve is forced to invite the social climbing Flegenschultz family. Roger showers Diana with attention and everything goes along smoothly until the champagne runs out and the spiteful Regina suggests that the party go to her house for further libations. Roger was among the last to leave. He did not accept Regina’s invitation, however, as Diana feared but. indignant with his friends for clearing out so summarily, went to the Harvard Club instead. Later on, Regina gives a play for charity. She, of course, has the leading role. Diana is the hit of the show with her beautiful singing and dancing. The envious Regina puts soap flakes on the stage staircase causing Diana to fall. Roger is ail concern for Diana and suspects Regina. Recuperating at home. Diana receives a movie offer. Next comes Regina’s debut. It was to be more lavish than anything bociety had ever before witnessed. Benjamin Hyde had spent a fortune alone on favors for each guest. Despite this, criticism ran high and there were many who said, ‘She 11 never make the grade. Fewoi the best people have accepted.' CHAPTER IX The grand ballroom was entirely circled with young birch and nnaple trees and pine and fir, brought from the South. . , There were little winding paths *nd arbors, and rustic retreats from which one could peep out at the dancers, for all the world like the Babes in the Wood. Diana Darlington was there, in the little white velvet gown in which she had made her debut at her tea. Genevieve had removed the long tight sleeves from it. substituting a narrow edging of white fur at the shoulder line, and Roger nad sent her a corsage of orchids. Roger was with her now. Roger had brought her to the ball. She had limped up the grand stairway to greet Regina and her father. Roger's right arm supporting her. How strong he was! She could lean her weight on him. -he carried a white lacquer cane he had given her, with an ivory top to it. She dare not dance. Her ankle was still painful and weak. But Diana making her entry witn Roger, was happy though tremulous. How would Regina take it that they were greeting her together? “Darling Diana, how brave of you to come! Roger, hasn t she marvelous courage?” “As though I were some freak that ought to hide away. Diana told herself, knowing that Regina would lose no chance of belittling her whom she now considered her rival. “Forgive me for being so bold as to show myself a lame duck!’ she contrived to say airily. “As a matter of fact, I wanted to he doggo in the old family coop, but Roger simply insisted I have a bit of a flutter.” “Roger’s a philanthropist,” sweetly smiled Regina. “Cat!” thought Diana. Odd about those soap flakes scattered on the steps leading to the stage where she had fallen. Rumors had been bruited about —of jealousy over Diana's success, and the praise of the critics that had been heaped on her performance. There had been no more praise after Diana ws out of the show. Regina as a substitute had caused no stir. She lacked the others charm. She danced gracefully, but in no way notably in the three acts, and her singing was ordinary. Indeed, the last three nights the audience had noticeably fallen off, which considerably annoyed Regina. She had got her wish. Her trick had worked. She had taken Diana’s place, but she was perfectly aware that comparisons had been made that were not favorable to the substitute. That Diana was temporarily lamed, however, was all to the good

except that it had roused the chivalry in Roger. He was round at the house on East 68th Street at all hours, she heard. Had the soap flakes been a tactical mistake? Sort of a boomerang? Standing in her bower of white and purple orchids, welcoming sweet smile on her face, it would have been illuminating for her guests to look into the mind of Regina at that moment. Roger and Diana passed on up to the ballroom. They were hailed by innumerable friends there. Clarence chirruped: “Save me a couple of whirls, Diana I feel faun-like.”

“Get out, Dexter. Give a chap bis innings," demanded the other.

“I can't dance. My ankle—” “Understood. We'll quaff a snifter together under the greenwood bough. Priceless idea!” Clarence had already looked upon the wine when it was red. The whirl was in his head, and would gain speed with the evening. “Naughty! Naughty!’ ’ he chortled after Roger and Diana as they disappeared behind a silver birch-trec leading into a little grove in one corner of the ballroom. Roger settled his partner on a rustic bench, insisting that she put her feet up, and seated himself beside her. “We can look out and watch. I'm sick of dancing through a whole evening. Bet you have loads of cut-ins, Diana. That’s why I’m getting all the time with you that I can now.” "You’re partnering Regina in the cotillion?” she asked. His face fell a little. “ ’Fraid so. I loathe that sort of show. Comes on directly after sup- „»» per “Regina's putting you next her at supper, I understand. I’m teamed with Donny.” He gave her a sharp look. “Strikes me Donny’s mighty sweet on you. D’you know that?” She laughed. Her laugh was like a freshet of delight. Musically sweet and tinkling. "Why not, Roger? Can’t a deb have a swain or two in her first season?” He caught her hand, giving it a swift pressure. “If I’d my way, there would only be one swain in your young life, Diana.” He was always saying wonderful things like that, of late. Wouldn’t he go further? “Who might he be, pray?” “Someone who’s very near you now.” She challenged him: “He better not come any nearer, or the hip bad wolves will see, and tear ‘him’ and ‘her’ krto little pieces?” “The d'-uce with them,” he said briefly. He leaned forward and kissed her on the mouth. “Don't you know I’m crazy about you. Diana’’ What are we going to do about it’” “Z never hed a chanee . . .” sang the leader of the orchestra in the Monarch. Diana drew back from Roper's kiss. She gave a nervous little laugh. “Hark at that, Roger! Tbat'r what I thought! I mean—it seernmi as though vou liked somebody else—” His eyes were hot and misty. “Regina, you mean?” “Maybe.” She was hanginp on I his words. She loved him so. What i would he say next? That he should I care for her was like a divine but i impossible dream come true. . . . 1 “Regina’s a sjvell girl, but she

isn't in the picture now. I can only see you, Diana.” ... She gave a happy sigh, leaning forward towards nini uu the rustic bench. “I like you, too. Roger. “Like What a feeble word!” “More than like. You know! Her brown eyes were glowing pools. “Then kiss me, Diana. You have the loveliest mouth. And the most beautiful eves. D’you know, when you fainted a couple of weeks ago. in the play, and I carried you off. I wanted to send everyone away, get rid of all the busy-bodies, and kiss you till you woke up? I was awfully alarmed, too. It might have been so much worse, darling.”

She thrilled to that word. He had never used it before. Heaven was opening for her. “Forget about the accident. I’m here. We're here. Roger, you really do mean you care for me?” “Certainly I do. D’you think I'm in the habit of talking to girls the way I’ve just talked to you? I’d be pretty much of a cad if that were 5.0,” he rejoined. “And—and—” Why wouldn’t he go on? Speak of an engagement’ “I so se'dom seem to get you really alone. Always with a gang around. Diana, will you come up to my apartment tomorrow? We'll dine there.” Before she co 1 reply, a flock of people trooped in. Diana and Roger knew them all. There was an interchange of comments on the trick scenery. The spell was broken. Two of the men flatly refused to leave Dians. “She requires a bodyguard now that she's more or less hors de combo*.” said number one. “Get out. Dexter. Give a eLap his innings.” demanded the other. “A little cocktaii is indicated. It’s the only way rx> get rid of ’em,” said Roger in good humor. He helped Diana up. Tlv> four of them went to the bar. where already a goodly number of eople were gathered. Diana took n cooktail from Roger. Perched on a high stool at one end of tA<> counter, she held a little court about her. She was glad that Roger saw she had attention A lovely pink had crept into her cheeks. Her laugh rang oul inee- antly. “Everyot." return to the ballroom. The debutante is going in for her first dance.” They were interrupted 1.-.- Maude and Clarence, who always did seem to spoil everything, thought Diana. She hoped Roger would suggest that ho and she remain here? Bui he did not. “."’pose she'll have the first whirl with old Benjamin. Then she’ll export all of ns to cut in.” They returned to the ballroom. Donny stuck like a leech to Diana. It seemed no time at all till Roger had gone. Leaning against the wall with Donny, while everyone clapped and cheered Regina. Diana told herself that everything was wonderful and sbo cas the happiest girl at the ball, Roger had “spoken.” He had not go*, ar fa' as mentioning marriage, but h» had definitely told her that he loved her. T’neir engagement would be the logical sequence. Tomorrow at his apartment he would ask her. Maybe—she thrilled to the thought- - he would nut a ring on hm* finger, the pledge of their love?
