"KING OOHEARTS" BY EDNA

CHAPTER L THE snow was thick and white in the air, like a gossamer veil that settled down one instant to be lifted up by the wind and tossed about the next It swirled in spirals and sank with smothering lightness upon everything with a final tenacious victory. Crowds of people, pressing toward the elevated station with heads lowered and eyes peering through the dim gray light, shivered in the sudden blasts of sharp air and hugged fur collars closer about their ears. Most of the snow, which had been soft and white in the air the previous moment, was trampled gray and harsh beneath hundreds of hurrying feet with a kind of sighing, swishing sound for its brief epoch of beauty. But that which lingered triumphantly on furs and woolen textures sparkled with a vain glory which was little more permanent. The crowd moved by pairs, principally, for the sake of human companionship. One of these pairs—two girls—had emerged from the employment entrance of one of the largest department stores in the loop district Their arms were locked together for additional protection from the wind and a more perfect timing of their quick steps. "Just another of our pleasant Chicago evenings,” Susanne’s muffled sarcasm emerged from the shallow depths of a not-too-generous lapin collar. "I should have gone south this season, but I had no idea the winter would be so severe. Yeah, I’ve only mushed through twenty of chem, here.” Lynn laughed. “You should be acslimated by this time.” “Is anyone ever? A thousand times, no! We pretend we stay here because we don’t mind the weather, and we know everyone lives here because he has to.” “Well, that’s as good a reason as any, isn’t it? We all can’t live in one •pot.” “It looks In this station as if everyone did live in one spot, and all trying co get there at the same time.” They had mounted the cold wet stairs, pushed through the dingy swinging doors into the brassy glare of illumination and moved with the hurrying crowds onto the windswept platform. The air was dank and odorous with melting snow on wool and fur garments that were not eleaned too often. A distant rumble approached nearer and obliterated all lesser sounds as the train thundered to a stop with a sigh of exhaustion from the air brakes. Doors clanged and feet shuffled. Elbows pushed and glares threatened. Lynn and Susanne were wedged together in the aisle, clinging to each other without even a dangling strap in reach. The man who swayed on the nearest strap and already was reading his evening paper, was standing on the toe of Susanne's shoe, apparently unaware of his trespassing. Susanne nudged his elbow impatiently with her own. "You may imagine you’re standing on velvet,” she said acidly, “but it’s only my foot Would you mind dragging off?” “Sure, but where d I put mine, then?” he grinned down at her hopefully. . . • Susanne turned aside disdainfully and flashed a brilliant smile for Lynn. "What you doin’ tonight, dearie? Reading another one of those books that would give me a headache just to look at the title?” “It’s a good night to read,” Lynn replied with good nature. “Yeah, if it’s something hot and spicy to give you a thrill and warm your blood up occasionally. But that leading diet of yours would give me a pain. Glad I’ve got a date, even if it is a rotten night to plod out into again. I don't think the date will be so hot, but you’ve gotta have some change from the grind. Gee, kid, I don’t see why you hide yourself away like you do. If I had your beauty—and my experience—” her expression indicated what her rouged lips could not express. "I don’t hide,” Lynn defended her reticence. “It’s only that I don’t know many people whom I enjoy being with?’ “And you never will—unless you get out and see them. One date leads to another, like the steps of a ladder. Some go "P and some down, some click and some don’t, but that’s the only way you’ll over find the man

every woman’s looking for—by the process of elimination. There, I sound like I’d peeked under the cover of one of your books, don’t I?” Susanne's chatter amused Lynn. She was lonely, but it was so difficult to enter into the lives of those around her. She wishes sometimes that she did not feel so different from the other girls at Dunning’s, and could join in their diversions and pleasures as one of them. She tried to make friendly overtures, enter into their conversations, share their opinions. But every effort went flat, like a punctured balloon. She would try to be gay and brittle and insincere; but always, she almost could hear the sibilant hiss of the deflated hope. Lynn was not supercilious. Her quiet reticence was not that of a superior or even a shy person. Rather, it gave

her that air of glamorous refinement which was her heritage. Lynn particularly liked Susanne, and wished their tastes were a little more congenial. Susanne was a stock girl at Dunning’s in the Misses’ apparel, where Lynn modeled gowns. Her candid satire scorched one minute to be balanced by tender concern the next. Sometimes, the two went to lunch together, but the occasional pleasant hour never developed into a habit, as some of the girls paired off every day for lunch. Usually, they went home together as far as Lynn’s station, and parted there with gay banter. Once, at Susanne’s insistence, Lynn had consented to a blind date with one of her numerous masculine friends, but the evening had proved to be a regretful experience. Lynn had decided if that were the only method by which she might escape spinsterhood, she would join the ranks with her cat and canary and her books. But there must be another method, her reason had hoped. There was plenty of time for working out that problem, later. She preferred now to concentrate upon the difficulties of present existence and the possibility of more abundant living in the future. Lynn was like a flower. Not sweet and delicate and colorless, as the simile usually implies. She was like a crimson orchid: exotic, rare, gorgeous, and warm like a flame. Poised and proud like an orchid, too; poised on its slender stem and sensitive to a harsh touch. That was why she had become a mannequin at Dunning’s, without experience. Her luminous beauty enhanced any gown, her grace gave it character. She looked the way women, watching her glide across the dove-gray carpeted salon, wanted to look. Also, her influence upon clothes was adaptable. She was stunning in a sophisticated gown, ok naive in a

They are guests of Dr. and Mre. J. M. Miller. They left here more than a quarter century ago. going to Gass City and from there to Ohio. Later they spent a year in Alaska and then returned to the Buckeye state, where John holds a

debutante frock. Her shinirtg black hair, drawn severely from the top of her head on each side to a graceful swirl at the nape of her white neck—as few women ever can wear a coiffure—made her appear to be both dignified and demure. Her luminous gray eyes might have been too dazzling, were they not shadowed by heavy black lashes which lay on her cheeks when the lids were lowered. In one of these was a touch of white, as if a snowflake had settled there. But it never vanished; and somehow held your fascinated gaze when you talked with Lynn. Lynn’s mother had lived in ths genteel atmosphere of a Louisiana plantation until John Bartel wandered south one winter—as Susanne now yearned to do—and took the hybrid flower that was Marian, to

transplant into his own bleak country, to which she never was acclimated. But it was John’s life and John's country she had chosen voluntarily, and even without paternal blessings. So Marian remained loyal to her adopted surroundings even when John was no longer there. He had relinquished the struggle early —that struggle which seemed never quite to cope with the difficulties of life. After her renunciation of family, home and social prestige, and the passing of years, Marian had no desire to return to them or try to reinstate herself. Either no desire, or too much pride. No one ever knew. With a meager income from insurance and work which Lynn never suspected her doing, Marian was scheming to provide her daughter with education and culture; when her sudden death precipitated the girl into the necessity of taking care of herself, with her cultural polishing only well begun. That wasn’t what grieved Lynn. She was heroic and independent and ambitious like her mother. Her grief was for her loss of the only close companionship she had known. Every condition in her life had contributed to her social isolation. Marian had entered her daughter in a girls’ private school, to provide her the proper background. But at the same time, they shared one room at Mrs. Kime’s, where it never would have been possible to invite the girls from Merwin • Heath School. And, striving as she was to keep Lynn in that expensive school, her mother never permitted her to associate with other girls whom she met elsewhere. Os course, Marian Bartel was planning a broader horizon for her daughter, when time and opportunity permitted, but fate intervened. (To Be Continued) Coonim oil xuu xaauui* UKiue*. ta*.

SYNOPSIS Try as she might, Lynn Bartel, young mannequin at Dunning’s, could not be intimate with the girls at the shop. It was not that she acted superior, but her innate good breeding and aristocratic air placed her on a higher social level than the others. Lynn’s mother had been a southern society belle, but she sacrificed wealth and position to marry John Bartel and go to Chicago with him. Following his death, Marion Bartel preferred to struggle along in meagre circumstances rather than return to her family. It was Mrs. Bartel's desire that Lynn have the best training and background possible so, despite financial straits, she sent her to the exclusive Merwin-HeathSchool. Lynn had no friends for she could not invite her schoolmates to the simple room she shared with her mother at Mrs. Kime's boarding house, and Mrs. Bartel never permitted her to associate with girls she met elsewhere. Mrs. Bartel planned great things for her daughter but she died while the girl was still at school. CHAPTER II So Lynn continued on alone thereafter, not knowing what else to do. That is, she continued to live at Mrs. Kime’s, alone. But she immediately left Merwin-Heath School for girls, and searched for work. There was a little money after everything was settled, but so very little that Lynn grew frightened with a tight feeling in her throat when she contemplated its meager provision for living. No training for work and no experience had promised for a couple of weeks to increase her initial timid fear to positive alarm; but one day her beauty had triumphed over Mr. Lowry’s stern judgment, when he needed very much another model who could wear clothes, for a style show. Lynn had held tenaciously to that poor little position and salary, like a mountain climber clinging to the edge of a precipice over a deep abyss. After the first fears had been vanquished and she had settled into the drab routine of her new life, she discovered that her studies were still a pleasant and absorbing diversion, and that life could be worse. She loved the theater and had displayed some talent, in dramatics at school. Her mother had visioned such a career for Lynn, perhaps, if that were her inclination. So Lynn attended the theater as often as she dared. A balcony seat at a first-run show was her only occasional extravagance. Sometimes, she took Mrs. Kime with her, for her companionship and to express her gratitude for many kindly services and attentions. The older woman’s refinement and genteel appearance, even though she did keep a lodging house, had been the reason for Marian Bartel’s selection of her home. After her death, Mrs. Kime’s maternal interest had broadened toward Lynn, and she now treated her almost as a daughter. Lynn did not know what she would have done, had there been no Mrs. Kime for a barrier between her and complete desolation. And on these bitter cold evenings it was good to be going home to her comfortable room. It was warm and cheerful, and made a little more livable with a few beautiful objects which her mother had added to its heterogeneous furnishings. She opened the front door, which the wind snatched from her hands and flung wide, to hurl a cloud of snowflakes into the dim hall before she could close it again. The spicy odor of baked ham assailed her with a sense of pleasant hunger, which the cold walk had provoked. Lynn enjoyed the walk fioin the I, station, after being confined in the store all day and parading over soft carpets while smug women stared at her.

The walk in the cold fresh air made her feel cleansed and revived. “Hello,” she called cheerfully, hearing Mrs. Kime in the diningroom at the end of the hall. “Something smells awfully good.” “Terrible night, isn’t it?” Mrs. Kime deplored from the doorway. “Did you see—there’s a letter for you, honey. On the table.” “Oh—thank you.” Lynn turned back to the little walnut console table where the mail was stacked neatly for the roomers. She seldom ever glanced at it because she received very few letters. Her correspondents were as limited as her friends. But she selected the letter from the stack with a warm glow of pleasure and carried it upstairs to

her room. It was not an anonymous advertisement, and she had no accounts for which to receive statements. Lynn dropped the letter on the dresser while she removed her wraps and mused upon its contents. It must be from Doti. The cramped and heavy handwriting of the address on the envelope indicated that. It was so like her cousin: small and dark and commanding attention. And the writing was as difficult to read as Doti was baffling. You liked and admired her at the same time she puzzled you. Her mother, whom she called Zola and professed to love beyond anyone in the world, never quite felt as if she knew her own child. “Doti” was her own abbreviation of the name with which she had been christened, which was Dorothy. When she was a tiny, dark thing—all dusky curls and red lips commanding attention wherever she went—she never employed the first personal pronoun in referring to herself. It was always, “Doti is going to do this” or “Doti wants to do that" Doti, she became. And Doti always did exactly as she wished. She lived in New Orleans in a pretentious Colonial mansion shrouded in moss-draped oaks like decorative cobwebs, where a score of colored servants attended the family with a devotion which da-

nied there ever had been an emancipation proclamation. For Doti’s indulgent father controlled humming sugar refineries which crystallized vast plantations of sugar cane into the sweetening for millions of cups of morning coffee. Colonel Merchon was a controversy within himself; being shrewd and affable, stern and humorous. But the one adjective which best described his attitude toward hit daughter, us indulgent. He gratified her e ~y whim. If it happened to be beyond his personal power to bestow a desire, he arranged everything so that another might do so Doti was like an idol to Colonel Merchon. But she was a benevolent one, because she adored and spoiled her father quite as much in return

Zola understood neither of them, and sometimes felt like an alien in her own household. But she had a multitude of her own interests to absorb her, the Colonel provided her an extravagantly beautiful existence and Lynn was a devoted daughter. What more could she desire? The two had seen Lynn for the first time in many years when they had gone north to pay their last respects to Zola’s estranged sister. Marian’s one last request had been to remain in the northern city beside John; which was respected. After it was all over, Zola had insisted that Lynn was going home with them, either to visit for awhile or to remain indefinitely. But Lynn was just as insistent that she could not In fact, enough more so that they had returned south without her. Lynn had preferred to remain where she felt she belonged. If her mother had wished her to live in the south in the surroundings of her own youth, she would have taken her there. No doubt, she had chosen the best for her daughter. Zola had proffered her money, also, but Lynn wished to carry on her mother's traditions of pride and independence. What her mother had done alone, with a child, she could do alone, without incumbrances, surely. (To Be Continued) Coutlsix, ISM, Luj, rwiuiM SradMtu, Im.
