GLORIAS

THB STORY SO FAR Gloria Gordon. 20 and pretty, marries Dick Gregory because she thinks he has money. Gloria's idea of marriage is plenty oi iun and expensive clothes. . . . but no children. When Dick tells Gloria she must do her own housework, she has hysterics. So Dick borrows Maggie, his mother's maid, to teach Gloria to cook. Gloria refuses to learn. Stanley Way bum. an actor whom Gloria once loved, calls on her. When Dick sees him leave the house. Gloria tells her husband that ho was only an Interior decorator. Dick is home ill for a few days. His secretary. Miss Briggs, comes to work there with him. while they are busy Gloria makes plans for a housewarming. She invites Stanley Wayburn. Dick recognizes him ns the man whom Gloria has told him was an interior decorator. Glory becomes reckless and drinks too much when she sees Stanley kissing Myra Gail. She faints away while dancing with Dr. John Seymour, whose wife, May, is in love with Jim Carewe. The party breaks up when Lots Hough r 'bawls’' out Bill, her husband, for “petting” with May. Maggie, 1 disguseted, leaves the house. The next morning Dick asks Gloria if the j man he saw leaving the house was Wayburr or not. NOW GO ON WITTI THB STORY By Beatrice Burton CHAPTER XI f—l LORY struggled In Di >k's I I*l arms - Her s °ft an< * yielding * Vi body had become a bundle of steel wire. “You let me alone!” she panted. “I won’t!” Dick said stubbornly. “I won’t, until you've told me whether the fellow you had In this >house that day was Wayburn or i not!” "It wasn’t Stan ‘Wayburn!” Glory cried. “And you know It! Haven't I told you a dozen times that it was the man about the lampshades?” Dick freed her. Glory saw that he believed her lie. j “I’m sorry.’’ he said slowly. “But I would have sworn it Wayburn. . You’ll have to forgive me, Glory. I’m so damnably jealous of you!” Glory tied her head up in a towel. She began to lather her face with cold cream. “I should say you are jealous!” she agreed. “If you’re going to think that every interior decorator or bill collector who comes to this house Is Stan Wayburn, we’d bolter separate right now!” She walked into the bathroom. ‘My bath water’s all cold now,” Glory grumbled. “I was ready to take'my bath half an hour ago when you started this row! ... I suppose I’ll die of pneumonia if I bathe n this cold stuff. Then maybe you’ll bo sorry for the cat-and-dog life you've led me!” She closed the door. “Hey, give mo a kiss before I go!” Dick called. He had put on his hat and picked up his brief-case. But Glory had locked the door and turned 7 the water on in the tub. She pretended not to hear him. * * • I r-7-! S soon as she was dressed, 1 j I Glory closed the door of her I HH disordered house behind her and started out. The employment agency on Capitol 1 Ave., was kept by an efficient-look-ling woman who said she was sure she knew the very housemaid for . Glory. | “Her name is Ranghild Swanson," she said. “I'll call her on the phone and send her up to your house to see you. I’m sure you’ll like her, Mrs. Gregory.” On the way home Glory passed Lola Hougji's shabby, rambling house. The twins were on the front walk on their kiddle cars. The baby sat in his white buggy on the porch, watching them ride up and down. . . . Lola was probably drudging q.way in the house, as usual, Glory j thought to herself. | “Where’s your mother?” she asked | sudenly of Billy, Junior. ) “In vee house, makln’ cookies!” said Billy, “and when dem Is made, Betty and me is goin’ to have one. .• . . Go on in, maybe she’ll give you one, too!” On a sudden Impulse Glory ran up the steps. She rang the bell. “Come out In the kitchen." Lola Hough said when she opened the door. “I’m doing my Saturday baking. . . . Smell the cookies in the oven?” Gloria followed her through the clean rooms of the house. The carpets were threadbare and the

furniture worn. But there were red geraniums blooming In all the windows; and the house, somehow, seemed a happy place. “I have the time of my life on Saturdays," Lola remarked In her brisk way. ‘The laundry and mending and cleaning are all out of tlie way earlier In the week. ... So Saturday’s my day for baking FJid marketing. . *, , Don’t you erjoy going to market, Glory? I do.” She opened the oven door as she spoke. A rich spicy odor filled the sunlit kitchen. Gloria stared at her. There were pink spots In Lola’s face. Her blue eyes were alight. It was plain to be seen that she really was “having the time of her life" . . baking cookies! • • * lO I enjoy going to market?” j J Glory repeated slowly. “Are i- you trying to kid me, Lola? Why, I’ve never marketed In my life . . . and I never will so long as the grocer has a telephone!” Lola deftly emptied a panful of crisp, hot cookies onto a tea towel. “That’s because you are new to your job of keeping house,” she said. “After awhile you’ll become an artist at planning meals and keeping down expenses . , Gloria Jumped up from her chair. This sort of talk bored her. “Jimlny, It’s 3 o’clock! I must go,” she said. ’.’l have anew maid coming. . . . Maggie quit her job last night after the party." “Wait until I take these gingerbread boys out of the oven'. . . and I’ll go to the door with you,” Lola said. There was a troubled frown on her face. “Glory,” she said, after a long pause. “I’m terribly sorry for going to pieces last night the way I did. . . . It’s not that I mind having said that I think drinking parties are dreadful. I do think it! . . . But I’m sorry I told you' about Bill and his drinking . . . and his debts.’’ “Oh, I forgot about that as soon as you’d said It,” Glory answ r ered. "Besides, everybody knows all about Bill, anyway.” “I know,” Lola answered. “But I’m his wife . , , and no matter what ho does, It’s my job to stand up for him. And if I do know that, in the end, everything will come out all right!” “Lola,” said Glory suddenly, “are you ever sorry you married BUI?" “Sorry I married Bill?” Lola repeated in a surprised tone. "Os course not! . . . Why, I’d rather be poor and be Bill’s wife than , . . anything else on earth!” Glory started at her. She saw that Lola meant what she said. Overworked and. neglected, she still was happy in making a home for a man who never was In It when there was any other place to go. She was a puzzle! • • • A"! S Glory went up the street toward her own house she •_noticed a girl all In rusty black just ahead of her. The girl turned in at the Gregory’s front walk. Glory hurried to catch up with her. “You must be the maid from the employment agency Ranghild Swanson?"’ she asked. Tho girl turned and smiled. Glory liked her Instantly. She hated people who weren’t pleasant to look at. This girl with her corn-flower blue eyes and corn-colored hair was. Together they walked up the steps of the house. “Tell me what you can do,” Glory sad when they were In the hall. “I can do any kind of housework,” said simply. "And I’m a good, plain cook. And If you have a washing-machine I don’t mind doing the laundry.. Glory considered. This sounded too good to be true! “And how much would you want for doing all that work?" she asked. “Eighteen dollars a week.” Ranghlld’s voice was firm. ’Eighteen dollars! Seventy-five a month! Glory wondered If Dick could afford to pay Ranghild that much money Oh, well, h^’d Just have to pay it! .Other men could afford maids for their wives. There was no reason why Dick couldn’t, too! “All right,” Glory said. “Can you start work tomorrow?" Ranghild nodded. She said she’d be at the house In time to get breakfast That was a blessing! • • • B IUT in the meantime there was the house to be cleaned up. u ■ -I As soon as Ranghild had gone. Glory took off her hat and fur coat. She hung them In the clothescloset under the stairs. In the corner of it stood the vacuum cleaner. Glory took It out. She attached it to a floor plug and ran It around the house. Then she laid a newspaper on the floor. Into it she threw all the broken glasses and clgaret ashes she could find. Someone had emptied a glass of gin gtngerale all over the Spanish

Underneath, the wood was stained and marked. ....There was a big hole burned In the blue velvet davenport. Bill Hough had probably done that with his everlasting cigaret! The inlaid wood of the dining room table was covered with white rings where sticky wet glasses had been seT down. A curtain had been pulled from Its pole. It lay on the floor. The whole house was a wreck! “Next time I give a party it’ll be a barn-dance or a picnic in the woods!” Glory said to herself. “They certainly ruined my cute little house last night!” She forgot her own part in the revelry. • • • HE front door-bell rang. 3 * . \ I I Mother Gregory! -Z_J Gloria could see htyethrough the net curtains on the door.

She looked all around her. Then she turned her eagle eyes upon hep beautiful daughter-in-law. In her expensive dress of gray silk, Glory held a duster In one hand, and the torn shawl In the other. ‘I like your working clQthes,” Mother Gregory said scornfully. “Where’s your apron?” Then her voice became more gentle. “Come In and sit down.

Mother Gregory Again Objects to Gloria’s Attitude Toward Marriage

party you had here last night. But I couldn’t believe all she said „ A . until just now! . . . Gloria, do you think you’re starting the right way, in this marriage of yours and Dick’s?” “I don’t know what you mean,” the girl replied stubbornly. Mother gregory leaned over and took her hand. “You know Dick hasn’t much money,” she said seriously. “You know he spent all his savings getting this house ready for you. His father gave Dick the money for your wedding trip, as a present. . . Dick’s a poor young lawyer, with his way to make. Are you helping him by giving these hundred-dollar parties? , . . Maggie said you paid S3O for flowers alone, for it!" “Well , . . and what else did Maggie say? What other tales did she carry to you?” asked Glory. Her tone was sarcasm Itself. Mother Gregory cleared her throat. “She said that my son and Mrs. Are You Tortured By Indigestion? There is more real suffering In lndlgestioa than In almost any other human ailment.
