SYNOPSIS Gilbert Windon had been in love with lovely Denise Rendale from the moment he met her but she had eyes foi no one except Keith Sheldie, handsome young playboy. However, Keith and Denise break up when the irresponsible Keith does not offer to marry Denise upon learning of her father’s financial ruin. Keith frankly explained that he was solely dependent upon his wealthy father, and to marry meant being disinherited. Denise's sister, Felicia, suggests that she marry “money” immediately as Felicia herself had done. The latter loved the late Duane Fenton but married the unexciting, though reliable, Eustace Gardiner Dayne when Duane failed her. When Gilbert proposes, Denise honestly tells him she loves someone else, but accepts him on the condition that the marriage be a formal one and, if at the end of a year she is not happy, he will free her. Keith is disturbed when he hears the news but does not believe Denise will go through with it. One day at breakfast, when his father is particularly domineering and disagreeable, Keith queries, “Why do you dislike me so?” “I dislike you because you are soft like your mother,” came the reply. When Keith was only a year old, his mother had run away with her music teacher and had died shortly after. Since then, the emI bittered Sheldie, Sr., took his hurt | out on his son, bending him to his will and preventing Keith from living his own life. CHAPTER VIII Through all the time he’d been growing up, the strangest knowledge grew in Keith beside the knowledge of that story! That he could not escape his father, just because his mother had. She had left an arrogant man, in the prime of his life. He would be abandoning an old man who blustered a great deal, in the effort to conceal that 1 he was broken, under the screen of his arrogance—had been broken, probably since a dark slender girl left his house and his fortune and his power. Long since (probably at about the time of her death), his father had retired from active participation in all bis companies, except the original steel-rail company in which he had intended his son to follow him; and even that he had given up, since Keith announced he meant to be a painter. That single defiance he'd achieved; and he had the curious feeling that if he could even play at work he liked, he could better manage to endure the years, and his slow-growing self-contempt for enduring them. He had no inner security at all. His father’s long clear dislike of him had prevented that. So, though in his boyhood he’d sometimes meant to stick to his father out of a kind of loyalty, and a wish to "make up” to him for his long loneliness, he had been sure, for several years now, that he only stayed with the old man to make sure of his money, and amused himself meanwhile as well as he could. He considered himself, in the occasional dreadful hours of self-ap-praisal no sensitive person escapes, a complete weakling. He had long I forgotten the beginning of the road that had taken him to the place he was— had forgotten the boy who I loved and pitied his father, and forgave him so many things, for so many years. A thought that might have comforted him never occurred

SIMPSON WRIT MAY BE FOUGHT 1 Undisclosed Person Intervening In Simpson Divorce London. Mar. 18—(U.R>— An Un- ‘ disclosed person is intervening in the divorce of Mrs. Wallis Simpson, tomorrow's cause list of the law courts disclosed today. The cause list announced that the king's proctor will appear at 10:30 a. nt tomorrow tn chambers before the president of the divorce courts, Sir Boyd Merrison, in connection with the intervention. Mrs. Simpson's divorce from Ernest Simpson is not due to become final before April 27. Under the law. any Interested person can intervene to show cause why the divorce should not be made final. The king's proctor will ask Sir 1 Boyd for directions on how to pro-1 ceed in the intervention. The intervener's name was not I published but it was understood to ‘ be a private person. The intervention was revealed in

to him at all—that to have held con- . stantly to a decision made when he j was ten years old, implied a kind I of strength. t The elder Sheldie laid down the newspaper again. • “Did you want to marry Denise i Rendale?” he asked. , That surprised Keith. He was . not aware that his father paid suffiI cient attention to his comings and , goings to know with whom he spent , his time. He was so surprised that i he did not notice the form of the , question immediately, and answered . from his thoughts. “You’ve tamed me to such a de- : gree that I shouldn’t think of anyi thing as independent as marriage.” “I don’t want you to marry.” “That I’ve known too, though you t don’t happen ever to have mentioned why.” He said that, as he had said earlier: “I wonder why you so dislike ’ me.” Nearly all his conscious life he'd said things like that, just to , conceal the fact he did know the reasons, more or less. His father’s answer then, was not , as expected. (It usually was: “You may as well be the little use your ' companionship is to me, considering what you’ve cost me.”) This time he said: “It’ll all blow up—the country, I mean—beforf your children would be grown.What’s the use of marrying? You won’t be able to leave them anything.” That, Keith knew, if he made an appropriate reply, would introduce one of those long discourses on “What's the country coming to?” that his father enjoyed making. But instead he asked sharply: “Father, what did you mean by, 'Did you want to marry Denise’?” The question was echoing in his head suddenly, with Denise’s final words to him: “I mean to marry Gilbert Windon.” His father said: “Her engagement’s announced. Didn't you know?” He handed his son the newspaper. There was Denise's picture, in the frock she wore at her debut, and "Mr. and Mrs. Michael Rendale announce the engagement of their younger daughter, Denise Evelyn.” Odd, never to have known Denise had a middle name. The absurdity of that thought struck him, and he gasped. His father said: “So—” No, not under that old man’s unkind amused eyes would he show—anything, anything at all! His face achieved, briefly, though he did not guess it, a grimness that made him much more resemble Keith Sheldie, Senior, than long-dead pretty Mary Lane. He said: “The picture flatters Denise, rather. She’s pretty, but not as pretty as that. Do you happen to have met her?” His father’s laugh boomed through the dining-room. That unaccustomed sound held approval, but Keith did not notice. He said, “Will you excuse me? I have an appointment,” and went out without waiting for an answer. But he went no farther than his own room. So she had made safe, had chosen to let go their light happiness, the laughter they’d shared, and the hopes not spoken! She had been wise, sensible, a realist. He could not blame her, but only himself, what he had become. She had meant it, when she’d said: “Not tomorrow or ever.” He had not really believed she’d meant it until now. Her hand within his arm, her soft mouth against his—-

the following terse paragraph in the cause list: "Undefended divorces W- D. ' imeaning ‘wife's divorce’!. SimpI son W. vs Simpson E. A. Application by the king's proctor for di- , rectfon." There have been reports for i some time that intervention would he attempted, perhaps because the ' archbishop of Canterbury, urcli foe , of the Duke of Windsor's romance j with Mrs. Simpson, is determined ! to prevent their marriage if he can. The divorce can be annulled if the intervener proves there was collusion in obtaining It. or that either party to the divorce has not behaved with strict propriety during the interval before it is to be made final. Some authorities hold that if it can be established that i the former king and Mrs. Simpson | planned to tnarry at the time the ’ suit was filed, the divorce can be I rescinded. Mrs. Simpson was granted a decree nisi at the Ipswich assizes on Oct. 27 by Mr. Justice Sir Anthony Hawke. In granting it. he showed 'impatience with the proceedings. He said shortly that "well, I must 'come to the conclusion that there was adultery in this case” and ' when asked by Mrs. Simpson's counsel if he Was granting a decree nisi with costs, replied in a wear-

- that was all there had been, or ever e would be: a beginning with no endi ing. "Soft,” his father called him; a b weakling, he called himself. Yet he could not remember that he had b shed tears, since a boy ten years old had shed them with grief at s his father’s dreadful anger. But - there were tears now on the thick 1 lashes that he inherited from Mary t Lane. t He heard his father’s lame un- 1 > even steps along the corridor, stood 1 up, flung his head back. His father knocked at the door. That courte- . ous gesture was unusual! He opened it. Very mildly his ’ father said: “There is some business you could do for me in Chicago, I Keith, if you could spare the time . from your painting.” Keith stared at him. “Spare the . time from his painting,” that occu- ■ pation his_ father so constantly > scorned. Yet there was no sign the > old man was being ironic. He looked • perfectly serious. “Jt’s rather confidential. I’d rather send you than t a lawyer.” i As if he were trying to make him • feel important! r Keith answered gruffly: “Certainly, I’ll go if you like.” 1 So he did not see Denise again f until very near her wedding-day. 1 On the morning that the papers I held the announcement of Denise’s engagement, Felicia was breakfast- , ing in bed, trying not to be a» • noyed by the click-clack of her hu»- , band’s riding-boots up and down hev . bare polished “modern” floor. As • usual, he had breakfasted early and ’ had ridden in the Park, hours before Felicia was awake. He rode in the Park, when he could not ride in the country. He , rode in the country, when he could not hunt. He hunted, when he could not steeplechase. Occasionally he attended race meets, afternoons. He was large and blond, amiable as a puppy—and with a mind like a puppy’s too, his wife sometimes thought when she was especially ’ bored, though she knew the thought unjust. Eustace did have a kind of simple shrewdness, and odd flashes of insight that occasionally surprised her. Those flashes were what made her marriage just bearable. Though she had become Mrs. Eustace Gardiner Dayne with her eyes open, she thought (with her heart in bits and pieces over Duane Fenton who’d loved her, but never enough to stop drinking) she had not been able to anticipate quite , how drearily long the years of marriage without love could be. Three of them gone; forty or fifty, perhaps, to live through. Click click, click, the heels of his riding-boots. “Look here, Felicia, is this marr!afL,Denise going to be all right?” “Why not?” “I was thinking—looking at her picture, when I was having breakfast downstairs.” Felicia thought several things simultaneously. That what he was thinking he would tell her in his own due time, and she couldn’t hurry him. That he always breakfasted downstairs so as not to disturb her, and came up afterward, tiptoeing heavily, to see whether she might be awake and would talk to him. That the sound of his tiptoeing was just sufficient to wake her, always. (To be continued) Cowrl«ht by I,’nula I’irmn Oliutboud by Kins VMtum Syndmu. is*
