NOW GO ON WITH THE HTOItY By Beatrice Burton CHAPTER XXII. SHE n<*xt morning Dick insisted upon getting up at his usual time. He announced, furthermore, that he was going to the office. "If I give in and stay .at home, I’ll be getting the ‘sick habit’ first thing I know,” he told Mother Gregory when she arrived at seven, bringing an electric pad and a glass of grape jelly for the invalid. "I’ll work this shaky feeling off in two or three hours down at the office.” “That poor !>oy is going to kill himself!” Mother Gregory later told Ranghild, to whom she had taken an instant liking. She was making milk toast with her own hands for Dick while he dressed. When he was ill, Mother Gregory had a feeling that nothing that any doctor or nurse could do for him, would do him half as much good as the food she, herself, got ready for him. Gloria,, reading the morning paper in the dining room, listened to the conversation going on in the kitchen. "That’s the way he's been all his life ... all ambition, with nobody to back it up!” Mrs. Gregory was saying to Ranghild. “I hope you never fry his food or put much grease in it. Grease gives him indigestion quicker than scat!” “Yes, ma’am, I, know,” Ranghild answered in her pleasant voice, "but Mr. Gregory doesn*t look sickly to me. He’s that wiry kind of person ... if you know r what' I mean. They can stand anything.” The pantry door swung open and Ranghild came into the dining room with the water pitcher. Gloria looked up at her. "Don’t pay any attention to Mr. Gregory’s mother, Ranghild,” she said in an undertone. “You’re working for me. not for her. And she’s just telling you all that stuff to hear herself talk, anyway.” With a solemn nod Ranghild went hack Into the kitchen. A few minutes later Dick came downstairs. Mother Gregory brought him his milk toast with the prideful look of a Louis Sherry displaying a wedding cake for the Astor family. "I'm not going to sit down with you. I had my breakfast at home before I came,” she said. "So I’ll just take the paper into the sunroom with me for a few minutes if no one’s reading it.” She rustled blandly away. * • *

LORIA could feel Dick’s eyes on her. She did not look up, l___| but tapped her egg and buttered her toast with pretended absorption. “Glory,” he said at last. She raised her eyes. Dick was white and haggard. “Dick, you’re crazy to try to go to the office, todty," she said. “Why don’t you slay home and rest. Dr. John will have a fit when he finds out you’ve gone to work.” “Never you mind about me, Glory. It’s you I’m thinking about, just now,” Dick unswered in a low tone. “I’ve been lying awake most of the night thinking about you, to tell the truth.... Look here. Glory, did you love me or not when you married me?” “Oh, dear, do we have to go into all that right now? Can’t we have one meal in peace?” Gloria’s voice was pathetic. “First of all we row about money and maids . . . and now you want to raise the roof again I suppose about yesterday afternoon. Let’s forget it.” “I wish I could,” Dick answered. “But it’s a pretty serious thing for a fellow to come home and And his wife entertaining another man . . . . especially a duck like Wayburn!” He came over and put his arms around Gloria. “Honey, I know there was nothing wrong about your little party yesterday. You were bored and you ■wanted a little thrill, a taste of excitement.® But other people won’t see it that way. They’ll soon be saving that my wife’s in love with that cheap actor. . . . They’ll have you in the May Seymour class, first thing you know!" “What’s everybody down on May for 9” Gloria asked. “I don’t blame her p> little hit for going around with Jim C-areWe, if her own husband won’t take her anywhere! . . . . Why doesn't he get next to himself and see that he’s losing May?” Dick pondered. “I suppose he’s too busy. And anyway, a husband is always the last person to hear rotten gossip about his wife,” he said. He was looking out the dining room windows that faced the street, watching the Donberg twins, who lived next door. They were running races with their new Airedale pup . . . , their sturdy legs twinkling past each other like the parts of a perfectly geared machine. “Gosh, Glory, wouldn’t it be nice if we had a couple of little kids like those two?” he asked, tightening his hold of her. "A couple of jolly little youngsters who’d race down the street every flight to meet me . .” “Yes, and who’d scratch up all the furniture, and turn the house Into a boiler-factory when It cafme Ho noise! No thank you, sweetie! I’m afraid I’ll have to squelch your fond hopes ; . She wriggled out of Dick’s arms and got to her feet. Dick, with his hands gripped, stood looking down at her. “Honey,” he said, “you're Just cheating yourself when you make up your mind not to hnv® children. Why don’t you want them? , , , What do

I've seen too much of it the last couple of months!” She walked out of the room. * * * i“| SEE by the paper that Myra | j Gail is going to Europe 1... 1 again,” Mother Gregory called to her from the sunroom. “My goodness, she must cost that husband of hers a fortune in steamship tickets alone!” Gloria stretched herself lazily on the chaise longue in the sunroom. “Well, what's the difference so long as he can afford it?" she asked. "It’s a relief to hear of a generous husband once in a while. Most of them are terrible tightwads.” Mother Gregory looked up sharply. “That's a queer thing for you to say," she said sharply. “I’m surs Dick’s generous with you ... generous to a fault. As far as I can see he refuses you nothing you ask for!” Gloria smiled, exasperatingly. “I haven't, asked him for much . . . yet,” she drawled. In that Instant she made up her mind that she was going to ask him for something, though....a trip to Europe to shop in Paris with Myra Gail! Ranghild opened the glass doors of the sunroom.

THE FLAPPER WIFE

“Mrs. Seymour on the telephone, ma’am,” she said to Glory. May’s voice wag tearful. “Hq.ve you been asked to join this big new club they’re starting the Home Women's Club, It's called?” she asked. Gloria said she had. “Well, I haven’t!” May almost shrieked into the telephone. ”1 think I'm the only clubwoman in town who’s been left out. Everybody I know is joining but me...." She broke down* completely. Gloria could hear her wildly sobbing. She had not known that May could take a snub this way. May had always seemed to be hardened against the unkind things that were said about her and her love affair with Jim Carewe. “Let 'em talk!” she had always told Gloria, recklessly. “When they’re talking about me and Jim they're giving somebody else a rest!” • * • A'"“TND she had shown the world of gossips a shining armor of defiance. But now that armor was utterly gone. May was defenseless, suddenly, In the face of this new snub. “Oh, I know what’s the matter with the old hens who started the club,” May went on presently in a choky voice. “They think I’m absolutely beyond the pale because I lunch downtown with Jimmy once or twice a week. They might know that there's nothing to the whole thing by the frank, open wa> we see each other.... Why, you know there's nothing wrong between me and .Jim, don’t you. Glory?” “Os course, I do!” Gloria said indignantly. She was very glad that she had been asked to join, however. I For the first time since she had known her, Glory had a warm friendly feeling for Mother Gregory, who had managed to get her into the club. “Well, then, for the love of Maud, go to your mother-in-law, and do what you can for me. She’s the head of the membership committee, I hear,” May went on more calmly. “Tell her I'm through with Jim Carewe, if you like. That ought to fetch her!” “But are you?” Gloria asked, cautiously. “I—l guess so,” May answered. "I've just made up my mind that the game isn’t worth the scandal! . .. After all, seeing Jim or any other man once in a while isn’t worth the loss of my rep . . . my good name, is It? ... You’ve got to play the womens game their way in this world, Glory, or they won’t let you play at all, do you know it? . . . Now do your best for me with Dick's

May Seymour Appeals to Gloria to Have Her Admitted to a Club.

mother, won’t you? I've just got to get into that club!” Gloria promised she would. She went back into the sunroom, and picked up a magazine, wondering how to present May’s very weak case to her mother-in-law. "That was May Seymour on the phone,” she began. “I wish you wouldn’t see so much of that woman.” Mrs. Gregory replied. “As I’ve told you before, she’s a thoroughly had woman. I heard some dreadful stories about her and that good-for-nothing Carewe the other day. She doesn't deserve that nice husband of hers. And as for Carewe, he ought to be tarred and feathered!” * • • Sf~~~ HE shook out the paper vigorously. 1... ■ ”1 suppose it’s from her you got your idea of driving all over the country side-with that actor you were with the other day!” Mother Gregory continued. “She seems to think she can gad all over with Carewe, and never have a word whispered against her! Well, she can't One of Dr. John’s patients brought her name up before the Home Women’s Club the other day . . . and it was voted down quicker thin it went up, let me tell you!” Gloria saw how utterly hopeless May’s case was. A burning thread of terror went through her like a dart of lightning. . . . This was what women could do to one of their own sex who stepped over the boundary of good behavior that they have laid down for themselves throughout the centuries! Women had made May a pariah—an outcast! They had kept her out of their clubs —given her the cold shoulder. They had shown her that if she wanted to defy them, she would have to walk alone . . . aa other foolish and defiant women had walked alone, and worn the scarlet letter of shame and solitude. Gloria wondered what would happen to her if her women friends knew that she had been seeing Stanley Wayburn alone! She wondered what they would do when they did find out ... if they ever did. For Gloria knew she could never refuse to see Wayburn so long as he wanted to see her. (To Be Continued)
