GLORIA
THE STORY SO FAR Gloria Gordon, beautiful flapper, marries IMek Gregory, a strugglinglawyer. Her idea of marriage is fun and fine clothes . . . blit no hard work or children! Dick borrows his mother’s maid Maggie, to teach Gloria to cook. But she refuses to learn. She meets Stanley Wayburn, an actor with whom she once had been in love. Gloria invites Wayburn to a housewarming-. He comes and Dick instantly suspects that Gloria is in love with him. Wayburn makes love all evening to Myra Gail. The ‘‘wild’’ party breaks up when Lola Hough ‘bawls out” Bill, her husband. for petting May Seymour, wife of Dr. John Seymour. Maggie, disgusted. quits her job. Then Gloria hires Ranghild Swanson, although Dick tells her he cannot afford a housemaid, sho also buys new clothes and insists upon an automobile. Gloria begins ot be jealous of Miss Briggs. Dick's secretary. One afternoon Dtck returns home unexpectedly to find his wife entertanling Wayburn. May Seymour and Jim Carewe. Next morning May phones Gloria to tell her that the gossip about her love affair with Carewe has kept her out of the Home •'Voman’s Club. She begs Gloria to ask Mother Gregory, an officer of the club, to put her into it. Mother Gregory refuses. ______ NOW GO ON WITH THE STOR\ By Beatrice Burton CHAPTER XXIII )•" OON after May’s tearful telephone message, Mother ___ Gregory got up to go. She wrapped herself in her black broadcloth and furs that always smelled of mothballs, and pecked Gloria on her cheek. “Goodby,” she said severely. “Ahd I hope that your friend, Mrs. Seymour, will be an example to you of what happens to foolish wives who go traipsing around with men who wouldn’t marry them if they had the chance! . . . Decent women simply won’t have anything to do with them. And you can tell May Seymour for me that until she gives up that Carewe, she can whistle and wait to get into the Home Woman’s Club, or any other club where I’m a member! For I’ll vote her down every time! She’s a disgrace to this town!” Mother Gregory jerked her veil down over her Roman nose, and swept out of the house like a ship in full sail. . . . So, Gloria thought, it was Mother Gregory, who had kept May out of the club! What a hateful woman Dick’s mother was! And how dreadful for May to know that hundreds of women were against her, wanted to have nothing at all to do with her! To know that dozens of tongues were wagging about her and her affair with Jim Carewe! . . . And yet, Gloria knew that but for the grace of Providence, she might be in the same boat with May Seymour, this very minute! For someone besides Mother Gregory, might have seen her and Stan Wayburn in her car, just as people had seen May and Jim together! And there would be talk and talk . . . until the whole town would be talking about her and Stan. . . . Gloria shivered as she picked up the telephone and gave May’s number. "Maysie, dear, I just finished talking to Dick’s mother,” Gloria began unhappily when May answered her ring. "I di.l my very best for you ....but It’ a no use! -She says there’s not a ghost of a chance for you to get into the club... .You’re right, there has been a lot ♦if talk about you and Jim! At least, Mother Gregory says there ha 5....” "The old hypocrite!” May broke in harshly. "I’ll bet she’s at the bottom of the whole thing! She’s always hated me the way a lot of other women in this town have.... because I married their dear, dear doctor! Women always have a cozy corner in their hearts for the family doctor. And they sure do hate him to have a wife. I’ve found that out!" Gloria laughed In spite of herself. "But not Mother Gregory!” she protested. "Why, she’s old enough to be Dr. John’s mother....” "Oh, I don’t mean she’s in love with him, you poor prune!” May broke in. "That’s absurd. But just the samey. women like to think that their sympathetic doctor takes a personal interest in all their aches and pains. They love to go to him with their troubles... .Oh, I could tell you a thing or two about being a doctor’s wife, If I wanted to! You don’t know the half of it, dearie!”

“What do you think you’re doing now?” Dick asked. “Packing the things that I’m not going to take with me,” his wife answered.
| " "IAY paused for breath. Then j|V/|J she went on in her high LLJJ voice: "Well, even if 1 can’t get into a woman's club, I suppose the stores are siill open to me.,,, How would you like to go shopping with me this morning?” "I can’t leave the house today. L’m busy,” Gloria fibbed. She wondered how May would fev< if she knew the truth . . . that Dick had forbidden her to be seen anywhere with May! . . . Not that that would have stopped Gloria, if she had wanted to be seen with May! But she didn’t . . , she was afraid of being talked about, along with her. She didn't want to be classed ar a “bird of a feather” with May Seymour. No indeed! Gloria begun to perceive, dimly, that neither law nor law makers rule this world of our, but that four little words do . . "What Will People Say?” . . Well, people never would say the things about her and Stan that they were saying about May and Jim, that reckless pair! 'She would never give them the chance .... she would be too clever for them, Gloria made up her mind. There must be ways . . . ways of seeing Stan without anyone being the wiser! The thought of not seeing him at all did not occur to her. • * • She went clip-clopping upstairs in her blue satin mules. Ranghild was cleaning out Gloria’s clothe3-closet. The sight of all her dresses hang Ing there in neat, colorful rows made Gloria think suddenly of Myra Gail. Lucky Myra! .. . With clothes to burn, here eh© was getting ready to run over to Paris for two or three more trunksful of them! And she would come back not only with clothes . , .but with the latest thing in make-up and hair-cuts, too, no doubt! No wonder she was fascinating! • • * LORIA picked up the exten-sion-telephone that stood beside the night lauip. She gave Myra Gail’s number. "I saw by the public print this morning that you’re going abroad, Myra," she said gaily when Mrs. Gail’s cool voice answered, "How soon are you sailing, dear?” "In ten days. Why, were you thinking of going along?” There was thinly veiled humor in Myra’s tone. “Asa matter of fact, I was think-

The best library on bee culture Is at the Wisconsin Library of Agriculture. In one corner are two book-cases, one containing pamphlets, the other books, with information on unusually large bees. If you add half of the pamphlets to the books, your total equals 28, while if you add half of thp books to the pamphlets, your total equals 26. ,How many pamphlets are there containing information on large bees? How many books? Last puzzle answer: This is the correct arrangement of the numbers given yesterday. In every row horizontal, diagonal and vertical the total is 179. Also the four inner numbers, the four outer corner numbers, second two in top and bottom rows and second two in outer vertical rows will total 179.
THE FLAPPER WIFE
Gloria said with spirit. "I’m tired, and I think a sea trip would bo the very thing for me.” "Nothing like it for brushing the cobwebs out of your brain!” Myra commented a:; she hung up. “Better make up ycur mind to go along. Love to have you.” Now, what did she mean by that, Gloria wondered ... by that phrase of hers, “brushing the cobwebs out of your brain”? Did Myra think there were cobwebs in her brain? Hud she recognized the troubled mental state Gloria was in over Stanley Wayburn? .... That was the trouble with Myra, the thing that made Gloria hate and fear her. She seemed to see everything that was going on everywhere, with those cold, gray eyes of hers. She never missed a trick! • • • G l- ”“J LORY turned to Ranghild. “If I went away for a few l__| weeks do you think you could manage the house alone?” she asked. Ranghild went on brushing a green sports suit as she reflected. She was thinking that she had don© every bit of work in the house all alone from the minute she had stepped into it! “I think I could, Mrs. Gregory,” was all she said. “Because I may be going away in a week or bo .... to Europe,’’ Gloria went on. The sound of her own words excited her. Going to Europe! Os course she was! She was sure that she could make Dick scrape up the money for the trip, somehow or other. She would be very sweat, and appealing with him ... and he would give her the money. Honey caught more flies than vinegar .... that was the big idea! ORDLESSLY, Gloria smiled VY/ at him across the chaos . . a , ™ siren smile from half-lowered eyelids and dimpling mouth. “What do you think you're doing now?” Dick asked. “Packing the things that I’m not going to take with me,” his wife answered. “Take with you! What are you doing, leaving me?” He sat down on the lingerie piled on the nearest chair. “Well, I should say not!” Gloria cried. "Did you think I’d leave you Just because you were so angry and JeaJous, yesterday? Why, I like you to be jealous . . . ’cause then I know you still love me . . . see? She pattered across the room to him, and knelt beside his chair “Would you miss me terribly if I went away for a little while . . . with Myra Gail?” she asked. Dick sat up with a jerk. With Ranghild’s help, Gloria dragged her wardrobe trunk from the guest room closet, and dusted it ofT. Gloria spent the rest of the day washing out silk stockings and handkerchiefs with soap-chips in her bathroom. She couldn’t wait for washday, to get these things packed In her trunk. She was in a fever of excitement. When Dick came home at halfpast five, she was still hard at work, her hair tousled and her cheeks flushed. Dick looked around the room In blank astonishment. Bureau drawers were flung open. Dresses were flung across the bed. A pile of lingerie lay, white as a cloud, on a chair. • • * “With Myra Gail? But, good Lord, she’s going to Europe!” he gasped. Gloria nodded. “So am I,” sh said calmly, “If you’ll let me?” Dick made a gesture of despair. "Honey,” he said, "you can’t go. I haven’t enough money in the bank to pay for a one-way ticket. . . . . Look here, let me show you!” He took his checkbook from his inside coat pocket. “Less than two hundred bucks!” he said. “Hardly enough to pay the current bills! You know, you’ve been hitting me pretty ha/d lately with these new clothes yon bought,

"I suppose you never spend a cent on those special cigarets you’re forever smoking. or on taxicabs, do you?” Gloria laughed Impudently. "Why don’t you fire Miss Briggs nnd get a stenographer who doesn’t expect a small fortune in the way of salary, if you're so terribly poor?” I she asked. "Sometimes I think you I must be in love with that woman! | Honestly, I do!”
Dick stood up. "You can't go to Kurope,” he said quietly, and went downstairs. Gloria stood looking out of the window into the darkening street for a long time. She was actually sick with disappointment. . . . All day she had lieen dreaming of Europe, of Paris, of the shoiMt there. And now she was not to go! . . . . When Ranghild struck the dinner gong she did not go down.
