GLORIA
THE STORY SO FAR: GLORIA GORDON, pretty flapper, marries DICK GREGORY, a struggling young lawyer. Gloria's idea of marriage is plenty of fun and fine clothes . . . and no work or children. Dick borrows MAGGIE, his mother's maid, to teach Gloria to cook. Gloria refuses to learn. STANLEY WAYBURN, an actor whom Gloria once loved, calls on her. Dick sees him leaving. Gloria lies to Dick, telling him that Wayburn was an interior decorator. Dick stays home ill for a few days. While he is at work with hia secretary, MISS BRIGGS. Gloria plans a party with Wayburn as one of the guests. When the actor arrives. Dick instantly recognizes him. During the evening Gloria sees Wayburn making love to MRS. MYRA GAIL. Recklessy she drinks too much and faints away while dancing with DR. JOHN SEYMOUR, whose wife. MAY. is in love with JIM CAREWE. The party breaks up when LOLA HOUGH scolds her husband. BILL for indiscriminate •'petting." Later Maggie, disgusted, quits her job. Next day Dick hears Gloria and Wayburn talking on the phone. Ho asks Gloria about Wayburn. Gloria sticks to her lie about the interior decorator. That night she and Dick go downtown for dinner. While Gloria is telling Dick that she has hired RANGHILD SWANSON, a maid, at $lB a week, she sees Wayburn watching her from across the restaurant. NOW GO ON WITH THE .STORY By Beat lice Burton CHAPTER XIII _ _yi AYBURN was not alone. \X/ Facing- him across the Y ‘ table, with her back toward Glory, sat a woman in a gray suit. Was it Myra Gail? ....Presently the woman halfturned in her chair. Glory saw that it was not Myra. This woman was blond. She seemed strangely familiar, too. Where had Glory seen her before? ....Then suddenly she remem-; bered. The woman w r as an actress j in Stan’s company at the theater .... Sonya Chotek! The waiter took away the soup plates and served Dick and Glory with veal cutlets and creamed cauliflower. Glory tried to eat.... But she couldn’t. There was a lump In her throat, and her eyes were full of hot, jealous tears. Oh, why did she let Stan Wayburn make her feel this way?....Why should it make her angry and jealous to see him with another woman? Glory gave her plate a little push, and laid down her fork. "I don’t believe I’m hungry after all,” she said to Dick. He looked up in surprise. “Well, you sure are some kid!” he exclaimed. "You drag me 'way down here and order a three-dollar meal....and now you can’t eat it!” “I know.... I’m sorry,” Glory said. She sat there miserable while Dick finished his meal in puzzled silence. “What do you fant to do go to a movie?” he asked as he helDed her on with her coat. Glory shook her head. “Let’s go home. I’m dead tired,” she said. She was, suddenly. Her spirit drooped like spent wings. She wanted to get out of that hateful restaurant away from the sight of Stan and his Sonya Chotek! She remembered a line of poetry she had heard somewhere.... “Life is a headache In a noisy street.” , And so it was! ... It hurt unbearably at times. Now, for Instance •• • , El ARLY the next morning Ranghild Swanson knocked on L_—J the klichen door. Glory heard her and. ran downstairs to let her in. “I came to start work, even If it is Sunday,” Ranghild said. “But I’ve been to early church already.” “The better the day the better the deed, Ranghild,” Glory told her, laughingly. The very sight of Ranghild cheered her up. She was so blonde and'smiling that she seemed to have brought the morning sunshine into the kitchen with her. And she could cook! Even Dick had to admit that the cherry pie she baked for dinner was as good as any that Maggie had ever made. “But we can’t afford her,” he said to Glory. "You'll have to look around and And someone who'll work for us for about $lO a week. That’s my limit, absolutely.” Gloria didn’t answer. She walked around the table to Dick and kissed him with little, light coaxing kisses. “All right, go ahead and vamp me all you want to!” Dick bantered. “But I mean what I say all the same, . . . We’ve just got to cut down our household expenses. A few more weeks like this last one would land me in the poorhouse!” • * • The next morning Gloria could hardly wa l for Dick to leave for the office. The moment he was out of the house she ran upstairs and dressed for the street. An hour later she was strolling down Pennsylvania St. Behind their plate-glass fronts the store windows bloomed like gardens, so filled with color were they. * * * SERE a hat perched airily on its stand above a rainbow pile of imported handkerchiefs . . . there a beaded bag caught Puzzle a Day Thomas Edison is always interested in new inventions, and twists of thought.

the light, like a bit cut from some rare old tapestry.. Glory sighed with joy . . - she would have tha. very bag hi a few minutes! She opened the twinging doors of the store and wenl straight to the business office. "I am Mrs. Richard Gregory Junior, and I would like to open a charge account,” she said calmly to the hard-eyed credit manager. She gave Dick’s office address and the name of his bank. “All right, Mrs. Gregory,” the
business office. A Junior, and I would lik- to open a
credit man said cordially, after had looked up Dick's references. “The store Is yours. And we’ll do everything In our power to please you.” He opened the glass door of his office with a flourish, and bowed Glory out, quite as if she had been a queen. This was the only way to shop! . . . No bargain-hunting, no counting out change! Simply to ask for what you wanted, and order It sent home! “I’d like to see afternoon dresses . , something really good,” Glory raid to the saleswoman who came toward her across the grown department. She sat in a comfortable chair while the saleswoman brought in dress after dress. Finally Glo.-y chose three ... a peacock blue, a black velvet and an old rose crepe. “I’ll try those three on, and see which one suits me best,” she said. They were all wonderfully becoming. Glory couldn’t make up her mind which one to bujr. She was in delicious despair. “Madam is lovely in any of the gowns!” the saleswoman declared. She knew her business, that saleswoman! “Why does not madam take them all?” she asked carelessly. “It is not every day that she will find three so perfect gowns!” Glory hesitated. “But the price!” she breathed. “Only three hundred dollars for the three of them?” the saleswoman asked in surprise. “But that is nothing! They were twice that much at. the beginning of the season! They are a bargain . . . those dresses!” “All right. I’ll take them all," Glory said suddenly. She felt that she simply couldn’t go away and h-ave one of those three wonderful dresses In the shop for some other woman. . . . They belonged to her! They wore made for her! All three of them! • * • O'"”" F COURSE, I don’t really need a hat....” Glory thought, as she drifted into the millinery department. But down in the bottom of her mind she knew that she was going to buy one. “I’d like a dress hat....something with plumes, I think,” she said to the white-haired woman who came forward to serve her. The saleswoman shook her marcelled head “No plumes,” she said smiling, “for so young a face. We must keep you very simple Won’t you have this chair, please?" She glided away. Glory watched her opening and shutting drawers and cupboards. In a few minutes she came hack

with a wide-brimmed hat of creamy satin. . “Here’s madam'.) hat,” the milliner said, setting it on Glory's redgold head. “Simple but smart!” ....The saleswoman was right! It was Glory’s hat. She graced it. “How much is it?” Glory asked. “Fifty-five dollars,” the milliner answered in the tone she might have used in saying “two for a nickel.” Fifty-five dollars! Glory wondered what Dick would say if she paid that much for a hat that hadn’t a scrap of trimming on it.... In the end she took It—charged it to Dick. • • • —-■-> ext Glory bought the beaded V bag she had seen In the show-window. It was S3O. “Charge it and send It,” she said. She gave her name and address with a feeling of excitement. She had never owned a charge account before in her life. y ....They were like wishing rings, these charge accounts. You simply ordered what you wanted... .murmured "Charge It”....and It was yours! On her way out of the store Glory stopped at the toilet-goods counter. Idly she picked up lipsticks and eyebrow pencils in their silver holders. She needed neither. Her lips were a natural scarlet. And the black lashes, planted thick around her eyes, gave her a “madeup” look, as it was. Still, she could always use face cream and scent. “I want some perfume.” she said to the pretty clerk who came to wait upon her. “Not rose or violet. Something spicy and oriental.” Finally she bought two kinds.... mimosa and lotus-flower. After that she bought nail polish, night-cream, bath-powder, and a large Wooden howl of elder-flower soap that would float In the bathtub. “Twenty-two dollars.” said the saleswoman, adding up the cost of these luxuries. "Charge It,” Glory said. The noonday whistles were blowing when Glory left the store. The street was filled with business girls on their way to lunch, their faces gay and fresh as flowers And to think that only a few weeks ago she had been one of them! Why, It had taken her months to earn as much money as she had

spent that morning on a few clothes! How long would it take Dick to earn that $400? Glory knew that he wasn’t half as rich as she had once supposed he was.... Suddenly she was frightened at what she had done. She made up her mind to telephone the store to say that she didn’t want the things she had Just bought... .No, by jinks, she did want them! And Dick would just have to pay for hem, by some hook or crook! • • • r—~ LORY hurried home and G waited for her purchases to __ be delivered. Late In the afternoon they came. She rushed up to her room and tried on the three new dresses.... one after the other, quickly, before Dick should come home. Ah, they were lovely! And she was lovely in them.... She tried to see herself with Stan Waybum’s eyes as she turned and twisted before the mirror. Glory leaned across the dressingtable and smiled at her dazzling self In the glass. "You darling!” she said. Then she h&ird the sound of Dick’s latchkey in the door downstairs! And before she had had time to take off the new dress she was trying on, Dick was In the doorway. “So here you are....” he began and stopped. His eyes swept the room, from the dresses slung over the foot of his wife’s bed to the wrapping paper that littered the rug. Then he looked at Glory with a question In his eyes. She was speechless.
