"KING OBHEARTS" BY EDNA ROSS WEBSTER , X

SYNOPSIS Left destitute when her mother dies, Lynn Bartel is forced to leave private school and go to business. She becomes a mannequin for Dunning's, an exclusive Chicago dress shop. Lynn has very few friends as her training has placed her on a higher social level than her fellow-workers and her low financial status prevents her from associating with her own set. She has one friend, however, m Susanne, the stock girl, and she wished their tastes were more in common. All in all, Lynn s life was very lonely. Then one day. a letter comes from her wealthy and pampered cousin, “Doti" Merchon, inviting Lynn to New Orleans for She Mardi Gras. With a light heart end an inexpensive wardrobe, Lynn goes s >uth. CHAPTER VII All day the scenery changed continually, with each hour promising a balmier climate. Leaf-buds and early flowers burst into prominence against the red clay roads and hills of Mississippi. Dark green of lolly pines dotted the mountain slopes with bizarre contrast. Dark faces peered from cabin doorways with stolid indifference at the train’s passing. It was no longer a curiosity but somehow its thundering approach commanded their attention. The city stations grew more atrange, their occupants more torpid, their activity less strained. Everything seemed to mellow and relax in the warmth of the sunshine. Lynn was absorbed with every new detail. Cotton bales replaced the heaps of coal beside railroad tracks. Late in the day the broad yellow expanse of the Mississippi River flowed beside them, its sluggish surface denying the swift current beneath, like the face of a poker player. Snatches of chanting melody and stftffhming banjos floated into the open windows from cabins along the shore. In one place a large company of negroes was assembled beside the river for baptismal services and their high-pitched shouting voices carried on the soft breeze with the repeated phrases of a spiritual. Green levees stretched for miles, and the sky was incredibly Hue. Lynn prepared for sleep that night, knowing that the morning would find her at her destination. What awaited her there? Would this week change her entire future, as Susanne had prophesied it should? Or would it be only a delightful interlude, before she returned to Dunnings and Mrs. Kime’s to spend the rest of her days in qjiiet routine? As she slipped into her mother’s old home and her mother’s youthful surroundings, what would happen to her ? Excitement mounted within her like the uncontrollable rising of a tide ordained by superhuman forces. At last she had arrived and the long delay of an extra hour on the train was climaxed by the delighted and smothering greetings of her relatives. “If you’ll give me your baggage checks, I’ll have Sam claim your trunks,” Zola suggested. “We’ll wait in the car.” Lynn produced her one check, wondering what she would be expected to have packed in more than one trunk for a week’s visit, and the chauffeur ambled away leisurely toward the baggage room. His languor suggested a considerable wait, but the time passed quickly enough with Doti’s ebullient chatter. Her sow soft voice slurred delightfully: “The carnival would have been a complete failure without you,” she declared adoring Lynn with her bright dark eyes. “Ever since I saw you last year, I’ve been dyin’ to have you here, and this was the most perfect time for it. Too bad you couldn’t have come for two weeks. The festivities really began last Thursday, but today and tomorrow are the most important days. Tonight is the pageant of Proteus and then the ball. Tomorrow is Mardi Gras Day, with the parade of Rex and the grand ball in the evehin’." . “When will the queen be frowned?” asked Lynn, absorbing her cousin's enthusiasm together

with the balmy brilliance of the sunshine. Both were delightfully exhilarating. It did not seem possible that sne had left Chicago thirty hours before in a raging blizzard, while people here had not known what it was like to be cold. “Tomorrow mornin’ the papers will announce the names of the king and queen and their courts, just before we ride in the parade. I’m so glad Jack is to be the king the same year I’m the queen.” As if her father had not provided that special arrangement for her pleasure. It was a precedent in carnival history, but the Colonel was known for his ability to establish precedents, both social and commercial. “You’ll adore Jack,” she added confidently. “Your fiance?”

His ebony face shone and his white teeth flashed with a genial smile of welcome.

“Well—not exactly,” her soft voice drawled. “But y ott see we’ve gone about together ever since we crept on the nursery floor and batted each other with our rattles, so it’s bound to happen before long. Our marriage is as established as the traditions of the city or the carnival,” she laughed, “but I don’t think it will be half as excitin’.” “Jackson Thorpe is a descendant of one of the famous old families here,” Zola added complaisantly. and Lynn marveled that life could be so orderly and circumspect for some people while others never knew from one hour to the next what lay ahead of them. Which was the happier, she wondered. Finally Sam returned and assured Zola with bareheaded respect, “Yes, ma’am, Miz Merchon, de young lady’s trunk will be fetched out ’bout tw-o o’clock.” « « » » The charm and luxury and comfort of the great house folded Lynn into its embrace, as Doti and Zola had done at the station, and made her feel as if at some time she had been a part of it. No doubt, it was the memory of her mother’s stories which had described to her so accurately every detail. The same moss-droped live oaks, only a little older in their incalculable age, veiled the stately white house in glamorous mystery. But the fluted white columns of the front entrance, reaching from the broad terrace to the third story balcony, gleamed in the golden morning sun and contradicted the somber impression of the bearded oaks. The big car hummed softly as it mounted the gently sloping drive, swung between the trees and glided

- to a stop beside the steps of the - portico. 3 At the same moment Sam opened r the door of the car, the wide white , house door with its gleaning brass i knocker, opened to reveal another grizzly-haired colored servant in i black frock coat. His ebony face 5 shone and his white teeth flashed , with a genial smile of welcome for . the guest as he hobbled out to carry ' in her luggage. , f They entered a central hall into t whose vast white expanse the glcam- - ing mahogany stair rail descended 1 like a dark venturesome stream, i which flowed into the rich tones of • Oriental rugs and polished mahog- . any tables. Twice during Lynns • year at Merwin-Heath School, she had been a guest in magnificent homes of her wealthier student com-

panions, but they had none of the mellow splendor which permeated this house, none of the atmosphere which breathed in the very air of it. They mounted the thick-carpeted stairs to the wide upper hall from which doors opened on all sides. Zola guided Lynn toward one of these, an affectionate hand upon her arm. “And this is your room, darling—once your mother’s. I thought you’d like that, having Marian’s room,” she explained gently. Lynn’s eyes filled quickly with tears of gratitude and grief; gratitude for her aunt’s kind intuition, and grief that it was not her mother who had returned to this charming place after so many years of absence. It was such a beautiful room, as chaste and lovely as a young maiden, all blue and silver-white. Mists of blue-dotted net draped the wide white-cased windows which framed a vista of yellow jasmine and glossy magnolia foliage. A white cloud of silver mist canopied the wide Colonial bed and a pair of quaint dressing tables wore ruffled skirts of blue taffeta, their mirrors illumined by lights having shirred blue bonnets. Tall silver candlesticks with blue tapers stood guard on the polished high-boy and on the spinet desk beside the front windows. There were silver stars scattered on the pale blue walls. Deeppiled dark blue carpet covered the floor, onto which Lynn walked as if she were moving in a dream. At last, she was here, in her mother’s room, with which she had been so familiar before she ever saw it. No detail had bmn changed. (To Be Continued) OdhUM, UK Kin< Fethire, Synilrt’e fne

She becomes a mannequin for Dunning's, an exclusive Chicago dress shop. Lynn has very few friends as her training has placed her on a higher social level than her fel-low-workers and her low financial status prevents het from associating with her own set. She has one friend, however, in Susanne, the stuck girl, and she wished their tastes were more in common. All in ail, Lynn’s life was very lonely. Then one day, a letter comes from her wealthy and pampered cousin, “Doti” Merchon, inviting Lynn to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras. With a light heart and an inexpensive wardrobe, Lynn goes south. She receives a hearty welcome from her Aunt Zola and “Doti.” Lynn is given the room her mother had when a girl, and her heart overflows with gratitude and grief; grief because it was she, and not her mother, who returned to this lovely home after so many years’ absence. CHAPTER VIII “We’re goin* back to town for lunch, soon,” Doti informed her. “I’ll give you time to freshen up a bit if you wish. You look perfectly grand as you are, but the stuffy old train always makes one feel so dithabUle. If there is anything at all that you want, let us know, won’t you? I’m to glad you’re here,” she added with happy emphasis. “And I’m to glad to be here!” Lynn echoed, dtill gazing about the spacious room, as if she were trying to adjust herself to its strange familiarity. “How very beautiful it is!” “Not half so beautiful as yourself,” Doti admired. “There isn’t a more beautiful girl in this city, and few competitors even. I just adore that tricky little eyelash of yours, honey. How do you do it?” “I don’t. It just is, and always has been. When I was a little girl, I used to ask my mother if I was beginning to turn gray. I thought it was distinguished to have that touch of age,” she laughed. “It’s presh as it can be, and so are you. Wait until the crowd sees you, darlin’. They’ll fall on you like a pack of wolves—especially the men. They go big for a new girl.” “You frighten me,” Lynn declared. “Oh, they’re quite harmless,” Doti rolled her eyes with shy coquettry. “Don’t shock your cousin, child," Zola admonished her and took Lynn’s hand fondly. “I’m so very happy that you came, dear. We have anticipated this for so long.” Lynn thought of her mother as she looked at her aunt, sitting there so confidently in that beautiful room. What a contrast to her sister’s faded beauty and prematurely lined face was Zola's well-preserved youth and smart grooming. She appeared so little older than her daughter that they might easily have been sisters. The same lustrous hair and shining eyes, the same smooth complexion and elegant apparel. She yearned for her mother’s lost youth and happiness, and wondered if her love had been worth that terrible price. If love did that to you, she was not so sure she wished to discover it. Doti rambled on blithely, oblivious of the thoughts which crowded into her cousin’s mind. “My room is next, with the bath between, as our mothers shared it. Come in any time at all, and ring for anything you want.. The bell is here, indicating a wall button beside the bed, "and Lulu will do anything in the world for you. There’s a telephone in the hall and one in my room, but I don't suppose you’ll be callin’ any-

one—yet.” Her black eyes twinkled. “Perhaps—after tonight” Lynn was amused at her insistence that this visit would involve romance. Everyone had intimated that same thing. Susanne had been so sure that Lynn would meet her fate during this one week of pleasure. Her conscience scoffed at the idea, at the same time it ventured ahead with a little wistful yearning. She thanked her departing relatives for their kindnesses and turned to her bags which had followed her up the stairs with Andy. She would change to a fresh blouse before going downtown with Doti. As she arranged her toilet articles on one of the dressing tables and absorbed the luxurious comfort of her surroundings, she visioned her mother in that room more than twenty years before. She had left all this, willfully, to go into a strange city and a hostile climate to struggle with poverty for the man she loved! It must have been a very great love to have been strong enough for that. Lynn marveled that any emotion could be so potent. Would she ever know such a love? ■Would there ever come into her life a man who could so change her entire destiny? She hoped that love might be like that for her—when it came, dominating and superceding all else. But that experience must be very far away, now. She never had seen any man who even interested her. He would have to be so very different from anyone she knew now, to stir her deeply. And she was not so much concerned with that vague problem, either. Her present desire was to absorb enough gayety and pleasure in one short week to glorify her memories for the many somber months ahead of her. She must learn to play as she never had played before. This was an opportunity which her mother w ould have wished for her, and she had to make the most of it. Doti came in presently. She was ravishing in a suit of buttle-green crepe with a black fox scarf, from the depths of which her eyes glinted roguishly in her little glowing face. She drew on fur-strapped green suede gauntlets as they went downstairs. “I’m half peeved with Jack for not cornin' to lunch with us, today. He might have, just as well.” Doti never conceded that any business conference might be more important than her desires. “But he’s cornin’ here to dinner, tonight, before we go to the ball. And don’t you think, darlin’, that I’ve neglected you. I have a half dozen men for you to select from, all standin’ on their ears in their eagerness to meet you. I’ve sung your praises from one end of this town to the other, so that the arrival of any mysterious princess never was awaited more anxiously.” “But you shouldn’t have,” Lynn protested, feeling frightened. She only had decided to emerge from her shell of reticence when she felt a warning to draw in her head again. “Well, you are a princess, returned to your homeland,” Doti insisted, “and a more stunning princess never lived. If I were as beautiful as you—” she deplored, leaving her intimations in vague silence, as she opened the door with a flourish. Outside, an open roadster glinted in the sunshine, awaiting them. On its doors were the same crest and monogram which embellished Doti’s stationery and other personal possessions. Yes, thought Lynn, Doti had everything, and yet she deplored that Lynn was more beautiful. What had her beauty commanded that Doti did not possess? It had not gained for her even one of her cousin’s innumerable possessions and privileges and honors. Perhaps it never would. Doti fitted her key into the switch lock, touched the starter, meshed

the gears silently, and they glided down the pebbled drive into the boulevard where stately palms paraded into a receding vista before them. The sun poured down upon them and balmy air fanned their faces, its force tempered by shields of plate glass adjusted to their comfort. “With only a week for everything, I thought we couldn't begin too soon to get your acquainted. Os course, everyone who visits New Orleans wants to see the French quarter and dine or lunch in tne famous French restaurants. So I'm takin’ you to the Patio Royal for lunch with some of the girls today. After you’ve met some men, there'll be no chance for a feminine conclave. In fact, I doubt if I’ll be seein’ you much after tonight, so I’m rnakin’ the most of my little hour.' “Why, I’ll be like lead on your hands before the end of the week,” Lynn deprecated, but Doti’s prophetic confidence gave her a thrill of pleasure. They crossed the seething main artery of Canal Street with the traffic signal and crept into the contrasting narrow thoroughfare of Royal Street. And instantly, it seemed to Lynn as if they had entered a strange world. The streets were narrow and crowded, with people and buildings; the latter so old and so foreign in their architecture and elaborate decoration, and the people a strange conglomeration of negroes and whites. Rows and rows of balconies and window grilles made of iron lace, so delicate and fantastic that it looked unreal, adorned the quaint buildings, most of them three stories high. It must be some kind of fairyland into which they had entered suddenly. Like the fantastic decorations of ice crystals which so transformed northern cities sometimes on winter days, would this strange scene vanish at a magic gesture? But it had not vanished when Doti parked the roadster at the crowded curb and led the way through one of those grilled Moorish doorways into a beautiful courtyard. They passed through the gloom of the stone-paved narrow entrance into the brilliant patio where little tables under bright awnings were surrounded by vi v id flowers and the dense foliage of orange and banana trees. Their contrast with the weathered stone wai's which surrounded the court was like the startling contrast of the old and the modern streets. As they entered the patio, a group of girls near the splashing fountain signaled gayly and soon were greeting Lynn with warm cordiality. There were four of them, all attractive and well dressed and sophisticated as any similar group of girls might be. But that which made them individual and unique to Lynn was the strangely charming accent of their speech, so much more emphasized when a group of them chattered together. It added considerably to the illusion of being in a strange land. Doti’s delightfully exotic accent and tone of voice had seemed so individual to Lynn, but now when she heard a half dozen of them slurring their words and dropping their g’s and r’s, it sounded almost as if they were speaking another language. How different they were from the harsh voices and hard staccato accents of the girls at Dunning’s. And how far removed she was from that world, so vague and unreal in her memory, now. This was real; this enchanting old garden and the lilting fountain, the vivacious languor of these girls who hadn’t a care in all their warm, colorful existence. “These four are the maids who will attend the queen of the carnival,” Doti confided in a low voice. “But no one else will know wntil tomorrow.” (To Be Continued) Copyrtfht, 1111.
