She gives a house-warming, and asks Stanley Wayburn, an actor with whom she once was in love, to be one of the guests. When he comes Dick is instantly jealous of him. After the wild party.

Dick goes into debt to buy it. About this time Gloria begins to be jealous of Dick’s secretary. Miss (fforia and Wayburn go riding in the new car and are seen by mother Gregory, who begs Gloria to mend her ways. She manages to have Gloria elected to the Home Women’s Club, but “l ’ackballs" May Seymour, wife of Dr John Seymour. lieeause of her love affair with Jim Carewe. May, determined to keep the friends she has. g'ves a card party. Gloria quarrels ov“r the game with Lola Hough, who tearfully gets up to go. To Gloria's consternation, Myra Gall, whose friendship she values, takes sides with Lola. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY By Beatrice Burton CHAPTER XXV w-rr r| ITH utter dismay, Gloria yy watched Myra Gail get up from her table. It was one thhig to quarrel with the shabby Lola, who had few friends, and quite another to have Mjjra for an enemy! For Mj4>a was a born lea ier. And the rest of the women were nure to side with Lola against Gloria If Myra did. Women were such sheep! They had no wrinds of their own! In a flash Gloria was on her feet. “Please don’t go.” she pleaded, laying one hand on Myra's arm. “I'll run upstairs and tell Lola I’m sorry for what I said I’ll bring her back.’’ She ran upstairs to May's bedroom where Lola was pinning on her unfashionable hat. "Please don’t go, Lola,” Gloria begged. “I’m awful sorry for what I said to you just now. You know I didn't mean It. Please come on downstairs with me. Do!” Lola shook her head. “No," she said. “The things you said were too true, Glory. I haven’t any business trying to play cards with the rest of you girls. You're all crackerjacks . . . and I guess I’m no good for anything but house work. Don't ask me to play any more today .... I couldn't face the bunch, downstairs.” At that moment Myra Gail came into the bedroom. She turned to Gloria, furiously. “It's you who ought to be ashamed to face the crowd!" she cried, “after what you did to Lola! It was the meanest thing I've ever seen one girl do to another! Believe me, I’ll think twice before I play cards with you again . . . Come along, Lola, and I’ll drive you home.” She marched past Gloria without another word or look. Lola followed meekly. Dazed, Gloria, watched them go. "Glo-ree!” May called her from the hall below. "Come on down so we •san go on playing.”! Gloria tossed her head and went down. No on greeted her as she came into the room. Gloria could feel the chill in the air. She knew that the other girls were down on her because Myra was. . . . Well, what did It flatter? What did the friendship of women amount to, anyway? Gloria told herself she would have given up a dozen card parties for one drive with Stan Wayburn. . . . She wished she had gone riding with him this very afternoon!

S'”— —"I HE picked up her cards. She was what May called a “mean” player. She played f or the prize. She sat there new Mght-lipped and hard-eyed. She gathered in her tricks, intent aa a kingfisher killing fish at a river's edge. Gone was the Gloria of the limpid eyes, soft lips and babyish chin . . . the Gloria whom Dick loved. ‘‘■Well, Glory Gregory’s won the prize, as usual,” little Mrs. Wing cried, when the scores were added up two hours later. “And it’s one that will suit her to a TANARUS!” May addded. She went into the dining room and returned carrying a. dusty bottle of French brandy. “What do you know about that for a slam! She ghees me liquor and says it will si’Urme to a TANARUS!” Gloria shrilled. “What am I going to do with the stuff, girls? If I take it home to Dick, he'll put me out . . . he's so pure!” "Don’t take it home to Dick. Take it home and hide it. You may need it some time, yourself, for a party,” May advised. But Gloria knew that she wouldn’t dare to have another party soon in Dick's house. , . . Then, suddenly, she thought of Stan. She would give him tpe brandy! He liked a nip now and then. Gloria telephoned him from the coat-closet under the stairs when she put on her wraps. "Meet me outside Dick’s office building in fifteen minutes,” she said. "I’m driving downtown to bring him home, and I want to give you something, first.” Stan waited a moment before he answered. Puzzle a Day Two young men started to work for the New York Central at the same time. One man became a clerk and received $1,200 a year with a raise of SIOO evtery year. The other man became a baggage man, starting at the same wage, but he received a $25 raise every six months. Each man secretly believed that the other earned a smaller salary. Which man had the larger Income? Last puzzle answer: The Boy Scouts bridged the stream in the Limberlost with three short planks by_jnterlacing the boards. Each of the three tents have an entrance to the bridge. In this fashion the boys all have equal use of the bridge.

“In front of your husband's offlee building?” he repeated. "That's not so good. What if he should look out of the window and see us?” “Coward!” Gloria cried. “You should be willing to take a cht s If I am!" She hung up.

TANIjEY was waiting on the edge of the curb when she drove up beside him. “Get in a minute," she said. “I want to talk to y0u....0r rather, I want to ask you something? Were you out driving with Myra Gail yesterday afternoon?. .. .Now answer me, quick! Just like that! Yes, or no?” Stan shook his head. But his cheeks were mantled with a dull red flush. Gloria was sure that he was not going to tell her the truth. "Os course, I wasn’t,” he said, “Let’s see, where was I yesterday afternoon? Nowhere in particular, I guess....” He broke off and took her hands in their driving gloves In his. He smiled down into her clear, amber eyes. “What a jealous little thing you are!” he said. “I wonder what you'd be like if you were married to me. Would you be jealous then?” “Would I?” Gloria breathed. Stan’s touch, even through her gloves, was comforting. "I’d camp on your trail. .. I’d be so Jealous! I wouldn’t let another woman look at you or speak to you, even!” “Do you feel that way about Dick?” Wayburn asked. He was vastly amused by her fury. * “No, I can't imagine being jealous of Dick, I wish I were,” Gloria said. She did honestly wish that she were jealous of Dick....that she cared for him wildly and longingly, as she was sure she loved Stanley Wayburn. ... .It must be wonderful to marry the man you loved! To be not only his sweetheart, but his wife, his pal ana his partner... .to have all of him, his moods, his tempera, * his worries, as well as his love! To have the right to smooth away the tired lines around his eyes with your finger-tips—to he a haven of rest and peace for him at the end of his long work day! For Glory could see that this was the way to be a wife, the kind of wife she had never been to Dick. Poor Dick! She had given him anything but rest and peace.... ‘ It's getting dark. I’m going to kiss you,” Stan said abruptly. But Gloria turned her head away from him. “Here’s what I wanted to give you,” she said wanly. She handed him the bottle of brandy. “I won it playing cards.” "Some prize, I’ll remark!” Stan said with enthusiasm. He took her face between his hands and kissed her savagely, again and again. “Don’t!” Gloria cried. "You mustn’t kiss me! We’re forgetting I'm married!” “Good Lord, how I want you'” he muttered in a thick voice. And then he was gone.

LORIA rubbed her bruised lips with her handkerchief. __J ....What did Stan mean when he said he wanted her? That he loved her? Surely, he must! If he didn't, would he kiss her that way? And with the memory of those kisses on her mouth, Gloria went up to Dick’s offices. In his private office Dick was dictating to Miss Briggs. The door stood open. Gloria didn’t go in at once. She tiptoed over to the mirror that hung above Miss Briggs' desk, and looked at herself in it. She wondered if Stan had mussed her hair or knocked her hat away when he kissed her. She powdered her little nose carefully and drew a moistened finger tip along her eyebrows. Then, all at once, Gloria became aware of Miss Briggs talking in a voice that was strangely loud for her. “Please let me telephone for a taxicab to take you home!" she was pleading with Dick. “No, no my wife's coming down for me in her car,” Dick answered shortly. His voice was muffled. “I’m Just dizzy ... be all right in a second.” ®loria went softly to the door between/the two rooms, and looked into Dick’s office. He was bent forward over his desk, with his head on his folded arms. Beside him stood Miss Briggs. One of her hands was almost on his shoulder. But she did not quite touch It. . •I* •!• -I* YEN as Gloria watched her, she drew It away and picked up a pencil. Then she backed away from Dick. “Look here, Mr. Gregory,” she said sharply. “It’s none of my business, I suppose. But have you had a doctor? You know, you’ve had three of these spells in a month . Dick raised his head. His eyes were dark and circled with pain. “Oh, don’t keep talking. Susy,” he groaned “My head's thumping like a trip hammer, . . .” He dropped it into his hands again. Susy! So that was what he called her when they were there alone, was it?—Gloria thought. Not even Susan . . . but Susy! The sedate Miss Briggs! And she had all but patted Dick’s shoulder, when she had hovered over him a moment ago! Was she in love with him.... this “day-time wife" of his? Probably she was, Gloria decided. A tiny pin-prick of stabbed her. And then it was gone, almost before she felt it. For Dick was a one-woman man, Gloria knew. And she was, for him, the One Woman! Why worry about Miss Briggs.

Gloria Gives the Bottle of Brandy She Won at the Party to Wayburn.

She pushed the door wide open with her foot, and walked into the room. when Gloria was sure that Dick wouldn't have looked at a prizebeauty when she, herself, was in i sight? Sometimes Gloria wished that he would look more often at other worn- ! en. It would give her more freedom. • • • HE pushed the door wide open with her foot, and walked | l__l Into the room. The minute Dick saw her his face i changed. His eyes lighted up and he grinned. "Hello, old lady,” he said. Gloria did not so much as glance at Miss Briggs. She walked coolly past her Into Dick’s waiting arms. As he bent his Ups down to hers, Gloria heard the secretary closing the door behind her. Secretly, she smiled. She would show Miss Briggs how little any woman meant in Dick's life except herself, Gloria! Some women might have to worry about their husband’s stenographers, but not she! That was for unattractive women, middle aged women ... .not for Gloria Gregory, with her face that was like a pansy! And yet.... Dick had called Miss Briggs “Susy"... .Intimately, almost as If she had been his wife! The memory was most disquieting to Gloria. Wnile she wss not actually Jealous o' Dick, she didn’t want him to care the least little bit for anybody else....and especially for Miss Briggs, who perhaps loved him!
