GLORIA

i THE STORY SO FAR Gloria Gordon, beautiful flapper, nan-ies Dick Gregory, a struggling lawyer. Her idea of marriage is fun and fine clothes, but no work or children. Dick borrows his mother's maid, Maggie, to teach Gloria to cook. But she refuses to learn. Later Maggie leaves. Then Gloria hires Ranghild Swanson, although Dick tells her they can't afford a maid. She swamps Dick with debts for new clothes and insists upon having anew automobile. Glc ia goes riding in it with Stanley Wayburn. an actor with whom she is infatuated. They are seen by Mother Gregory. Gloria s best friend. May Seymour, wife of Dr. John Seymour, boss her not to see VVa.vburn. She tells Gloria how she herself has been snubbed everywhere because of her silly love affair with Jim Carewe. The actor tells Gloria that he expects to leave soon for New York. He needs money. Gloria offers to lend him some. One afternoon she returns home to find Dick ill .He develops pneumonia ai is nursed b> Mrs. O'Hara, whose sister. Snr-ati Briggs, is Dick's secretary. <V r; . i mvcs Miss Briggs alone in the housr. with Dick one day while she gr f > the hospital where Mother Gregory has been operated on for apoendieitis. When she returns she listens at the door of Dick’s room to hear what the two are saying to each other. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY By I* "ice Barton CHAPTER XXXIV EOOTFALLS on the stairs— Ranghild to tell her that Dinner was ready brought Gloria sharply to her feet. "Will you fix a tray for Mr. Gregory and bring it up to him?” she asked calmly, although she was sure Ranghild had seen her eavesdropping at Dick's door. “And there may be a guest for supper, too. Wait a minute and I’ll let you know. . . She opened the door of Dick’s room and went In. Miss Briggs had stopped talking. And she and Dick fixed their eyes on Gloria. She remembered the old verse that runs: ' “Two’s company, “Three’s a crowd.” But she smiled at Miss Briggs and asked how Dick had behaved himself all afternoon. "Wonderfully well." Mis3 Briggs answered. “He slept for more than an hour.” “She read me to sleep,” said Dick. “She has a voice that’s as soothing as rain on a roof.” Miss Briggs blushed with pleasure. "Oh, dear,” thought Gloria, “I wonder if Dir k knows how the poor thing adores him?” Aloud she said. “Our dinner’s ready. Miss Briggs. Will you come downstairs and eat with me?” Gloria saw that Miss Briggs was going to refuse to stay. Before she could, went on. "And then, perhaps, you’ll read Dick to sleep again afterward?” she asked. “He has a hard time getting to sleep lately. And Mrs. O’Hara wants to stop giving him sleeping powders.” "Very well, I'll stay,” Miss Briggs agreed stiffly. But she turned on Dick a look of exaltation, as If she were telling him there was nothing she wouldn’t do for him.... even to eating a meal with his silly little wife!

G LORIA caught the look as she went out into the hall to tell RunghiM to use the best napkins and to put on the salad forks. Then she and Miss Briggs went downstairs. “Where can I put these?” Dick’s secretary asked as they went into the dining room. She held up a tight package of bills and letters, rolled together by a rubber band. Gloria took them from her and laid them on the sideboard. “Dick says you pay all my bills for him. I’m afraid you think I’m awfully extravagant,” she said amiably. Miss Briggs smiled her secret, tight-lipped smile. “It’s not part of my job to think about the bills I pay” she said primly. “I’m just a bookkeeper.” “I see,” Gloria answer’d. “By the way, I’m getting a l.ttle surprise ready for Dick All winter long he’s been planning a rose garden and vegetable garden for the back yard. Os course, he’s too sick to attend to it, and I thought I’d go ahead with it myself.” She stopped and looked down at he,r plate thoughtfully. Then she raised her eyes candidly to Miss Briggs. “If I do it I’ve got to have some money,” she said. "It costs a small fortune for top-soil and rose bushes. Now, what I want to know is whether you’d let me have the money without telling Dick about it. You see I want to surprise him by having the garden all started by the time he’s well.” Miss Briggs hesitated. Her blue eyes were, troubled. “I’ve never drawn any of Mr. Gregory’s money out of the bank without asking him first,” she said. “How much money would you want?” “Two hundred dollars,” Gloria said promptly. “I want to have a trellis made for the side of the garage, too ....There’s no reason why you shouldn’t let me have the money, Miss Briggs. Dick would be spending it on the yard himself if he were up and around. I’m just going to do it for him.” Miss Briggs brightened. “That’s true,” she said. “Shall I send you a check for the money, or do you want it in cash?” “Ccsh,” Gloria replied. '

She slipped a tape measure around Gloria’s waist and held it up so she could see the measurements. Gloria gasped.

Miss Briggs buttered a piece of j bread thoughtfully. “I only want to do what’s right 1 she murmured, as if she were thinking aloud. After the meal was over, she went upstairs find read Dick to sleep. Down in the living room Gloria sat, listening to the low droning sound of her voice. “She’s the kind of woman Dick should have had for a wife,” she said to herself. “If he’d had any sense he’d have married her years ago.” She drove Miss Briggs home. On the way back she went Into a drug store and telephoned Stanley Wayburn. “I’ll have that money for you tomorrow, Stan,” she said. "Meet me at 2 o'clock at the usual place.” • * • SHE first thing Gloria did the next morning was to telephone Henry Mo3S, the gardener, who had sold Dick the dwarf evergreens that circled the house. She told him just how she wanted the garden in the back yard laid out. “And send your bill to me, not to Mr. Gregory,” she added. ‘l’m fixing up the yard as a birthday present for him.” “I certainly am getting to be an artist at telling white lies!” she re marked to herself, on her way downtown to Dick’s office. “All I hope is that I can keep track of the fibs I’ve told different people!” Miss Briggs had the money ready for her. Gloria counted it ten S2O bills In a white envelope. Gloria wished she could keep the money for herself. There was a red dress in one of the stores that bhe would love to have: a cunning thing with a hell-shaped bodice.

Puzzle a Day

J|§) £%

Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Brown bought the above quantity of pears and apples for eighteen cents. Mrs. Smith paid twelve cents for her share, and she wants her fair share of the fruit. What should she receive? I puzzle answer: Each of the four spiritualists had 20 pictures originally. Each gave 1-20 part of her stoe to each of 10 strangers, so each gave one picture to 10 people a;nd then each had 10 pictures left. Each stranger received one picture from each of four people (or four pictures.) Four pictures are six less then 10 pictures.

THE FLAPPER WIFE

Stan was waiting for her on their | street corner. \ "Lord, but I hate to take this!” he said, as he slipped the envelope J of bills into his pocket. “But it’s j only a loan. I’ll return it to you in- | side of three or four weeks.” “Yes, I'm afraid you’ll have to, unless you want me to lose my happy home,” Gloria answered frankly. “I got the money from Dick's secretary. And I told her 1 wanted It for some gardening that I'm having done. So you see. I'll raally have to have the money, so I can pay the bill when it comes in on the first of the month.” “Don’t worry, Russet, you’ll get it,” Wayburn answered. There was more than a shade of sarcasm in his voice. He took a cheap nickeled watch from his pocket and looked at it. “I made an appointment with the tailor this morning,” he said. “And I’m ten minutes late now... .Too bad we couldn’t have spent the afternoon together. Meet me tomorrow, will you? We’ll go fdr a hike, eh, what ?” • • • G'" LORIA didn't answer him at once. She had made up her mind not to see him again. And, besides, she was angry with him for making an appointment with the tailor. He might, at least, have tried to persuade her to spend the afternoon with him, she thought! Wayburn laid one of his hands on her arm. “N-no,” she began. “Oh, have a heart. Russet,” he pleaded. “I’m going away in a week or two. It can’t hurt anybody if we see- each other once in a while, can it?’’ "All right,” Gloria yielded. "I’ll bring the car here tomorrow at this time. Would you like to drive out into the country?” “Sure. We’ll watch the grass grow and listen to the zimwltch bird singing in the amfalulu trees,” ho answered, nonsensically. He showed his strong, white teeth in a broad grin and went. Gloria watched him go. He carried himself with an air of engaging insolence. “He’s the best-looking man anywhere!” Gloria remarked to herself, “but I wonder if I'll ever see that S2OO again!”’ She didn’t know what she would do if Stan failed to pay It back before Henry Moss’ bill came in. . . . She walked along Washington St., window-shopping as she went. The little red dress with the bell-shaped V’aist was still in the show window where she had seen It a few days before. “I think I’ll go in and try it on,” Gloria thought. “Os course, I can’t afford it. But I’d like to see how I look in it, anyway.” She went into the store. “There’s a little dress down in the

window that I'd like to try on,” she told the saleswoman who came to wait on her. "A little red crepe.” The saleswoman looked at her doubtfully “That dress In the window Is a small size,” she said. "I don’t believe it’s big enough ror you.’’ "Nonsense." Gloria said sharply. “I weigh only 115 pounds. I always wear misses' sizes.” * • • | p J HE took off her own dress In IU I Ike fitting-room while the U- ■ j saleswoman went to get the drese out of the window, Perhaps she would buy the dress, after all, if It was becoming,,,, So long ns she wns going to see Stan Rgaln, she might Just as well look pretty for him, she decided. Olorln drew In her breath ns the saleswoman sllpiwd the red dress over her head, and began to fasten it down the hack. It wns Just the least hit tight across the shoulders. “I’m sorry, but the dress won’t go around your waist," the saleswoman said, finally, Hba straightened up from her task of trying to pull the dress together. Her face was scarlet with the effort, She slipped a tape measure arou id Gloria's waist and held it up so sr could see the measurements, Gloria, gasped, “Bet me try,” said Gloria, impatiently, She pulled and tugged at the dress,- hut It simply would not gok around her. At last she unbuttoned it and took It off roughly, “Would you like to see anything else?” the saleswoman asked, Gloria shook her head, Hha put on her own dress, and, carrying her hat and coat over her arm, hurried to the rest-room on the next floor, She dropped a penny In the weighing maohine that stood there, and breathlessly watched the hand swing slowly upwards. One hundred and twenty-four pounds!.., .Oh, she couldn’t weigh that much! The scales must he wrong. On her way home, Gloria stopped at a drug store and weighed herself again, This time the scales told her that she weighed 125 pounds! “Well, what do you know about that!" she thought unhappily. “This is what comes of breakfasting tn bed, 1 suppose! But I’ll bet I’ll lose ten pounds this next week or know the reason why!” (To Be Continued)
