CHICKIE — - ■ i

SYNOPSIS Chlckie beloved and only daughter of an old-fashioned couple, Jonathan and Jennie Bryce, feels a bit lonesome since Mary, her chum, has married Edward McPike, and she refused Jimmy Blake's marriage proposal only because he is poor. Chickie attends a party given especially for her by wealthy Jake Munson. Unbeknown to the others, she and Barry Dunne steal awsy before the party is over. Later Chlckie apologizes to Munson and reveals to him The hope for big returns from her fathers oil investment. Munson discourages her. begs her to accept the luxury he can give. Though she now loves Barry, she is Interested in Munson and calls on sophisticated Janina Knowles, her coworker and friend, of Munson, to le.arn more about him. He sends her a costly pin with a love note. Unwillingly she turns down his invitation to a yachting party and for the first time permits him to kiss her. GO ON WITH THE STORY By Elenore Melierin SHE day the party left shf had a sad, mournful feeling of alonenesa. Janina watched her all morning, dropping her eyes almost abashed when Chlckie met them. At. lunch she said with a. touch of eager humility: ‘‘What a •shock to see you walk into the office this day of days. I can't survive it. Chlckie. did anything I say keep you from going?” “Oh, flatter yourself, ole tiling! You took an awful lot for granted.” ‘‘Be a sport, Chlckie—answer me this: Did you tell Jake 1 frightened you Into staying away?” Chlckie gave a derisive laugh: saw the passionate eagerness like a, visible pain on Janina’s face. "No I didn’t mention your name, Janina dear. And nothing you said made a particle of difference.” In her relief Janina sat back with a sigh. Her hard, brilliant eyes appraised Chlckie, musing. “What you’re saving, girl, may be worth a lot. I have my doubts. What you lose In keeping It Is more than worth Its price." • • • | i | THIN, graceful girl with a I I languid air, dreamy, black U eyes and hair bobbed, caught Janina’s glance. She sauntered over delicately, dropped into a chair, letting a gold vanity and cigarette case clatter on the table. “Hello, Janka, love,” she said with a long breath. "Why is life so tiresome? Cheer me up, I’ve been looking for you.” "Then meet Chickie. She’s the most refreshing thing I know. Spring violet!” “Oh, Is this Miss Bryce?” Bess Abbott gave a wan smile, tapped her lips with a very pale, transparent hand. “Scuse, my dears; I only got two or three hours’ sleep this morning. Can T smoke here?” She opened her case, offered it to them. "Refuse me, Janka, if they try to put me out., I’m weary.” She wore an immense solitaire on her left hand. Its setting was massed w'th small diamonds. "Dike It? Well, I decided to take it after all. Harry’s such an old pest, Janka.” Janka laughed. 'So, you’re engaged, are you, Bess?” ‘‘So it seems. All la monotony. By way of celebration we’ll have a house party. Friday or Sunday. You won’t fail me, Janka?” She turned lazily to Chickle: "Why don’t you come along. Miss Rryce? We do have some riotous times.” .Jajiina interposed. "Chickie’is just, hopped off a frying pan: she may not choose to jump into the fire.” "Don’t mind her, Miss Bryce. I don’t give that kind of party. Very nice—mother's along. You come •aid bring your steady.” She finished another cigarette, took out a lip stick and brightened her lips to a vivid scarlet.

her look more hopelessly young and tired than before. “So—l’m on my sad way again. Remember, Miss Bryce, I’ll expect you.” , “Chickie’s steady is out of town, Eess.” "Ah, woe! Then bring your in termittent!” Chickie was delighted with the interview. So otherwise —that bored, duchess manner. "That's Bess—you know her. Only has about a million in her. own name. Her mother and mine were chums in their wild days. The old girl stepped high. I mean the original Bess. They’ve a gorgeous place in the country. Will you bring Red?” "I don’t know. She only asked me out of politeness.” “Any time sweet Pess in polite! She'd as lief have sal here and she took the notion. So get that out of your head. I’m glad. Now 1 don’t feel so guilty about spoiling the yachting trip for you.” Chickie felt a tingle of gladness darting all through her nerves. She glanced over at Barry Dunne’s window. She thought nervously: "He didn't ask me out over Sunday. I wonder if he made other plans.” He met her as he came from work —a high, jaunty note in his voice. “You didn’t weaken? Look out, now—don't give me the disdainful sneer. I prayed for you. you dear, sweet, frail. I worried for you. And you’re safe!” “I suppose, then, I’m to thank you.” “Second time, girl, I’ve rescued you from the ia.ws of God knows what!” "Does that make you any relation to me?” “It certainly does.” Chickie hurst out laughing—all at once carried along in a swinging lightness. "Does it make you my ‘steady’?” "Oh, T wa.s that already. Steady as old Gibraltar " “Then you’re invited on a. party with me. I was told to come and bring my ‘steady.’ If that happens to be you—why come—sir!’’ He said, boyishly: “Great.,’’ and with a wink, "I’ll make you forget what you missed!” “I’m not so sure about that, Mr. Dunne. I wanted It an awful lot.” “Chickie—please tell me this, "Did you stay away because I asked you to? Because I wanted you to?” "La. la for you. Redhead! You’d like to know!” She felt herself suddenly alight, as though laughter broke In sparkling waves through all her veins. CHAPTER XXIX THE HOUSE PARTY RE we on the right road, I A Rarry? I’d hate to get lost I —miss all the fun.” “Any road Is a right enough road when me and me steady Is on It and going good together.” He jabbed his elbow lightly against her arm. "Nice that the fair one is In such a sweet humor.” "T always am.”

"Except Tuesday of last week, 1 o’clock, precisely.” "I had enough cause for sorrow! Now, after all my pan.'s Janina says I've just hut jumped from the frying pan Into thp five.” “Thank heaven I'm the fire in this case. Let any one who will be the frying pan.” “Oh, you! She meant we are to have a most risque time, isn't that riotous? Bess Abbot is awful fascinating. She has two younger sis tors —twins. Janina says they’re Just thrilling. Only 16 and one of them's engaged already. Bess doesn t seem to take marriage very seriously. She said the man she's to wed is Just an awful pest. But they'll take a flier at it kind of impudent like.” ‘You got sore jhe other Sunday i when I said marriages today didn't i amount to much." "With me it would amount to everything. I couldn't look at a thing like love breezily as though it were just a hat I was to wear for half a season and then toss aside.” “How do you look at love?" He glanced at her suddenly, his cheeks flushing. “Do you know?” After a moment she laughed nervously: “Yes—beautiful like a sunset and lasting always. Oh, sometimes I think of Ixive as a bright cloud sailing over mountain tops I and two people—always the same, I always together, sitting on it— ; riding and riding—always.” "But nothing lasts. We grow old. j We change. It may he the most ! beautiful thing in the world today. ' It may be gone completely tomor- I row. We ought to live in the present.” "Do you really think that? Who’d want your kind of love, then?” "You spurn it, Chickle? Then I guess I’ll have to climb up to your j eternal cloud. Move ovsr a bit. | will ye?” He * ent his l ">ad with a swift nod and before she was aware, kissed her lightly. "You shouldn't do that. Barry.” “Why, Chickie? And you so sweet? Who could help it —let me see—Chickie. do you know how pretty you are?” • • • rTTIHE glanced uneasily down the I I white road. Just then I Ia hig, open car, alive and blooming with color, with laughing faces, dashed toward them, coming to an abrupt halt across their path. The girl at the wheel thrust out a radiant brown head, bobbed, curled and now tossing in the breeze: "Beg pardon. Do you happen to be Miss Bryce and Mr. Dunne? Well—then we’re looking for you. Bess sent us down to put you on the right road. Follow us and wear diamonds!” She switched the car recklessly. The five other girls, none of them past 17, laughed uproariously. The sound rippled like a gay banner flung open. "They must he twins!” Chickle whispered in excitement. "What! The whole wagon load of them!” "Idiot! The two in front. They dash all over the country In that big car. It’s their very own!” “Ah—the curse of money descends upon us. I/ooks as though we’re to have a merry time!” The hig car swerved down a road planted with poplars. The road continued for a quarter of a mile, wind ing upward over a great rolling slope and dark with beech and oaks. It opened suddenly into a vast green bowl—an Immense garden with a magnificent house. "You’re arrived!” TI. bright, pert girl dlmhed down from the car. She was followed by another who was her image except that the other girl had a peeved, sophisticated attitude and smoked a cigaret with a look of incredible disgust. “I’m Nance, good people! Allow me to present, my dear twin. Marge. She’s melancholy today—but 'twill pass.” Marge, each eyelash standing forth, black and separate: her small pretty mouth a dark crimson, flung a flaming orange scarf. She greeted Chickle and Barry with an indifferent nod. y Nance gave her a little shove.

put her arm in Chickie’s, saying with great chumminess; "Well— Bess told us about you both. Bess was so sorry she couldn't meet you. hut a whole raft of people she didn't expect blew in on her. We're croweded to the roof. Janka's here. She Just got in. Don't you love Janka? She’s so wicked. Marge is imitating her today. Doesn't she do it well?” Marge, cast her a look of vast, scornful pity: “Janka is as foolish as the rest of the world. I'm bored to extinctions.” Barry Dunne pinched Chickie's arm. He said somberly: “Oh. T say. Marge, how long have you been a dweller on this tiresome little dot we call the earth?”
