“-Sweepstakes on Love” f by May Christie ,J

SYNOPSIS The socially elite Diana Darlington and Regina Hyde are rivals for t ie love of Roger Deater, 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 ; 'ed via the “best people” who ..juld 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 all 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 Society 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’ll never make the grade. Few of the best people have accepted.” CHAPTER IX The grand ballroom was entirely circled with young birch and maple trees and pine »nd fir, brought from the South. There were little winding paths and 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 tho 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 had sent her a corsage of orchids. Roger was with her now. Roger had brought her to the ball. jhe had limped up the grand ~ stairway to greet Regina and her , father, Koger’s right arm supporting her. How strong he was! She ■ could lean her weight on him. She 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 with 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 lie 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!” though' 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 wus out of the show. Regina as a substitute had caused no stir. She lacked the other’s charm. She danced gracefully, but in no way notably in the three acts, an’d 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 Fad 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. r Ho was round at tn<. house on e East Cdth Street at all hours, she , heard. Had the soap flakes been a . tactical mistake? Sort of a boom- , erang? . 5 Standing in her bower of white ‘ and purple orchids, with a welcomI ing sweet smile on her face, it would 1 have been illuminating for her , guests to look into the mind of 5 Regina at that moment. Roger and Diana passed on up to ’ the ballroom. . They were hailed by innumerable , friends there. Clarence chirruped: j “Save me a couple of whirls, Diana. . I feel faun-like.”

I ji j “Get out, Dexter. Give a chap his innings,” demanded the other.

1 “I can’t dance. My ankle—” ; “Understood. We’ll quaff a snifter 1 together under the greenwood ■ bough. Priceless idea!” j Clarence had already looked upon the wine when it was red. The whirl 1 was in his head, and would gain 1 speed with the evening. “Naughty! Naughty!" he r chortled after Roger and Diana as t they disappeared behind a silver ; birch-tree leading into a little grove t in one corner of the ballroom. Rug'-r settled his partner on a r rustic bench, insisting that she put her feet up, and seated himself be--1 side her. r “Wn ran look out and watch. I’m . sick of dancing through a whole eve--3 ning. Bet you have loads of cut-ins, ' Diana. That’s why I’m getting all i the time with you that 1 can now.” “You’re partnering Regina in the j cotillion?” she asked. His face fell a little. 1 “ ‘Fraid so. I loathe that sort of . show. Comes on directly after supt per.” “Regina’s putting you next her at supper, I understand. I’m teamed f with Donny.” , He gave her a sharp look. “Strikes me Denny's mighty sweet on you. D'you know that?” 5 She laughed. Her laugh was like ‘ a freshet of delight Musically 1 sweet and tinkling. “Why not. Roger? Can’t a deb r have a swain or two in her first season?” s He caught her hand, giving it a e swift pressure. “If I’d my way, - there would only be one swain in J your young life, Diana.” r He was always saying wonderful 1 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 tho big bad 3 wolves will see, and tear ‘him’ and ' ‘her’ into little pieces!” 1 “The deuce with them," he said j briefly. He leaned forward and 1 kissed her on the mouth. “Don’t you know I’m crazy about you. Diana? 8 What are we going to do about it?” “7 never had a chance . . ." sang ] the leader of the orchestra in the s Monarch. t Diana drew back from Roger's ; , kiss. She gave a nervous little laugh. “Hark at that, Roger! That’s what I thought! I mean—it seemed ' as though you liked, somebody " else—” ’ His eyes were hot and misty. 3 “Regina, you mean?" 3 “Maybe.” She was hanging on 0 his words. She loved him so. What • would he say next? That he should care for her was like a divine but 0 impossible dream come true. . . . 1 “Regina’s a swell girl, but she

! isn’t in the picture now. I can only see you, Diana.” She gave a happy sigh, leaning i forward towards nim on the rustic , bench. "I—like you, too, Roger.” “Like? Whut 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 eyes. D'you know, when you fainted a couple of weeks ago. tn 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 bad 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 ba pretty much of a cad if that were so,” he rejoined. “And—and—” Why wouldn’t he go on? Speak of an engagement? “I so seldom seem to get you really alone. Always with a gang around. Diana, will you come up to my apartment tomorrow? We'll dit.e there.” Before she could 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 Diana. “She requires a bodyguard now that she’s more or less Kots de combat," said number one. “Get out, Dexter. Give a chap his innings,” demanded the other. “A little cocktail is indicated. It’s the only way to get rid of ’em.” said Roger in good humor. He helped Diana up. The four of them went to the bar. where already a goodly number of people were gathered. Diana took a cocktail from Roger. Perched on a high stool at one end of the counter, she held a little court about her. She was glad that Roger saw she , had attention. A lovely pink had 1 crept into her cheeks. Her laugh rang out incessantly. “Everyone return to the ballroom. . The debutante is going in for her first dance.” They were interrupted by Maude and Clarence, who always did seem to spoil everything, thought Diana. She hoped Roger would sug- • gest that he and she remain here? I But he did not. I “S’pose she’ll have the first whirl with old Benjamin. Then she’ll exi pect all of us to cut in." 1 They returned to the ballroom. 1 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 she was the happiest girl at the ball. Roger had “spoken." He had not I got as far as mentioning marriage, . but he had definitely told her that he loved her Their engagement would be the logical sequence. Tomorrow at his apartment he 1 would ask her. Maybe—ehe thrilled : to the thought—he would put a ring I on her finger, the pledge of their i love? (To Be Continued) ‘ Cbpyr!(ht, 11X5.
