GLORIA™

THE STORY SO FAR: GLORIA GORDON, beautiful flapper, marries DICK GREGORY, a struggling lawyer. Her idea of marriage is fun and fine clothes . . . but no work or children. She refuses to eook or keep house end hires RANGHJLU SWANSON to do It for her. although Dick says they can't afford a maid. And she swamps Dick with debts for her clothes and anew automobile. Gloria becomes infatuated with STANLEY WAYBURN, an out-of-work actor. Her “jazzy" friend, MAY SEYMOUR, wife ot DR. JOHN SEYMOUR, warns her not to be seen with Wayburn. She tells Gloria how she herself has been snubbed because of a foolish love affair with JIM CAREWE. Dick becomes seriously ill with pneumonia. During the days of his slow recovery. Gloria sees Wayburn constantly. He tells her he is going to New York to get a Job. He needs money. Gloria borrows s‘-200 of Dick’s money from his secretary. MISS BRIGGS. She tells Miss Briggs she wants the money to improve the house and yard. . , Gloria and Wayburn go driving and the car overturns. Wayburn disappears and Gloria, badly hurt, is taken to the hospital. When she has been in the hospital two weeks and is better. Dick comes to see hrr. tie accuses her of having '.x-en out joy-riding with W-iy-bu’Ti and shows her the actor's rigaret ea.-e. found under the wrecked car. By Beatrice Burton CHAPTER XXXVIII LORI A took Wayburn's cigaret case from Dick. !__] Wondering, she turned it over and over in her slim hands. “Where in the world did you get this thing?” she asked puzzled. The last time she had seen it, it had been lying in the wet yellow mud beside the wreck of her car. And she was quite sure that she hadn’t picked it up. "The nurse in the office downstairs just gave it to me, along with the jewelry you had on when you came into the hospital,” Dick answered. His voice sounded tired and fiat. He took a little handful of jewelry from his pocket and tossed it down on the bed. Gloria picked up her rings and put them on. She slid her wrist watch under her pillow. Then she looked up at Dick. Therp was scorn written in the lovely depthsi of her eyes. “So you knew when you came into this room that I’d been with Stan the day of the wreck! ’ she said. “And you set a trap for me!” “Os course I knew. The minute I saw his initials on the cigaret case I knew.” Dick answered grimly. “I wish I had the fellow by the throat this minute!” He made a twisting movement with his hands. “Dirk stared out of the window at the housetops across the street. He jerked his head toward them. “I wonder if any of the men who live in those houses have wives like y >u, Gloria,” he said. “I wonder if iHeir waves are the kind who refuse to have children, who go tearing around with other men, who never stay at home . . . who don’t even knpw how to make a home. “Well, it’s their own fault if they have!” Gloria cried shrilly. “It's their own fault!” Dick turned toward her. “How do you mean, it’s their own fault?” he asked sharply. “I sup pose you mean it’s my fault that you’ve been stepping out with this Wayburn? Because you have, of course!" “Yes,” Gloria answered boldly. “I have. And I’ll tell you why I have, if you want to know . . . because he knows how to be a pal to me, and you don’t!” • • • | ICK said nothing. There was a I white line around his lips. I-*- 7 And a fine sweat came out on his forehead. "No, you don't!” Gloria repeated as if she were arguing with him. “You think that because you’ve given me a roof over my head and paid the hills you’ve done your husbandly duty.” She paused for breath. “Well, you've kept me pretty busy paying your bills,” Dick said. “Although I wouldn’t mention the fact if you hadn’t brought It up.” Gloria flushed. “You kick every time I ask you to take me out to a dance or to a picture show,” she went on. “Your idea of the end of a perfect day is to go to sleep over the newspaper every night! And I can just sit there and twiddle my thumbs, I sup pose? . . . Well, I’m not going to! Not if I see myself “If I go to sleep over the newspaper it’s because I’m dog-tired after my day’s work,” Dick, answered. “And if you did your housework, as you should, instead of lying in bed till noon every day, you’d be pretty tired yourself at night. Other women don't want to be gadding every night in the week, 1 notice." Gloria pulled her blue silk bedWeak and Nervous From the Green Mountain State of Vermont, Mrs. L. A.

jacket around her shoulders. With her uninjured arm she picked up her hand-mirror from the table at the side of her bed. She smiled into it. “Other women! I should worry about other women!” rne said serenely. She turned so that Dick could see her face snuggled against the pillows, in the halo of short, red-gold hair. She smiled at him with teasing sweetness. The corners of her lips tilted up like the wings of a flying bird. "Other women aren’t as pretty as I am,” she said bluntly. “Most of them are mighty lucky to have husbands. And they know it. They work hard to hold ’em....but I doh’t have to! I don’t even need a husband! You know, Riklcy, that any stage manager in the country would be glad to give me a job, don’t you?” “Yes, I do," Dick answered truthfully. "You’re far and away the best looking girl I’ve ever seen. But you remember what happened to Helen of Troy. In the end she was doggoned glad to sneak home to the old husband!” “Yes, but she had her good time first!” Gloria said, brightening. “And you’d better treat me gently, Dick, or you’ll wake up one of these mornings and find me gone.” “Treat you gently ” Dick groaned. “As if I’d ever treated you any other way! Sometimes I think that if I’d pulled a little of the caveman stuff on you, you’d been a better wife ” He stopped, lost in anew train of thought. "See here, Gloria,” he said, after a moment, “I want you to tell me how far this Wayburn affair has gone. Has he made love to you?” * • • LORI A widen* 1 her eyes fc,t 1 1_ I him, like an Innocent child i ’ just, waking up from a nap. “He was trying to make love to me the day I wrecked the car,” she said. “I hit him.... I forgot all about driving. And the next thing I knew I was lying under the car half dead...." She began to cry weakly. Dick put his arms around her very gently. He could feel the beating of her heart. It fluttered like a frightened bird’s, it seemed to him. “And then you talk to me as if I was a bad woman!” she sobbed. “Just because I want to jazz around and have a little fun....” Dick patted her round shoulder. When he spoke his voice was harsh. His eyes were tilled with passion and tenderness. “Poor little kiddle!” he said. "I’m sorry.” It was not until he was half way home . . . away from the warmth and perfume of her . . . that he began to doubt what Gloria had told him. She had lied to him so often! • • • jrr-it HAT night Gloria lay in bed I thinking over what she had j told Dick about Wayburn. She had told him the truth. But not the whole truth! Far from it! She had not told him that Wayburn had kissed her dozens of times. She had not told him that the

reason she had struck Wayburn that day in her car was not because he had tried to make love to her . . . but because she was afraid of his love-making when he had been drinking! Above all, she had not told him that she had given Wayburn S2OO of Dick’s own money! Money that he would probably never pay back! * • • |r-r-i~| EN days later, when Gloria j I left the hospital, her own litI 1 tic blue car stood at the curb waiting for her. It looked as good as new. Gloria shruddered when she saw it. “I don’t know whether I have nerve enough to ride home in it or not!” she said shakily to Dick. “Sure you have. Hop in,” Dick encouraged her. “Your nerves are jumpy. You'll be all right pretty soon. loc Seymour wants me to go away for a long rest. We'll go together, yon and I. We both need it." He started the ear. “Perhaps mother’ll go along with us.” Dick said, as the car rolled slowly along. “She looks pretty seedy after that operation of hers.” “Just you dare to ask your mother to go anywhere with us!” Gloria's eyes flashed. “I’d rather stay in this town all my life than go anywhere with your mother. Dirk tried to change the subject. V\ c may not go anywhere ourselves.” he said. “We’ve spent so much money on doctors and nurses

Rub it in!” Gloria cried. “Why don't you talk about the money you paid Mrs. O’Hara and Doc Seymour for your own sickness! I get tired of hearing about all my expenses!” . Again the sickening thought came to her that Dick would soon And out about the S2OO she had borrowed from him . . through Miss Briggs. “Hasn’t the gardener started work on the back yard?” she asked in suprise as they drove into the garage. “No. He came here with a whole raft of rose bushes that you'd ordered,” Dick answered. “But I sent him away. We can’t afford to fix up the yard just now.” He helped her out of the little car. It was sunset. The long shadows of the new-leaved trees lay across the grass. The lilies-of the-valley were in bloom along the fence. A delicious odor of hroiling steak came from the open door of the kitchen where Ranghild was getting supper. "Home's pretty nice, isn’t it?" Dick asked. “It’s a pretty good place to be after all. Isn’t it, Littlest?" Gloria raised her eyebrows. “I guess so,” she said shortly. They went in. • • • ANGHILD opened the door for them.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Everything was quite as usual. After dinner Dick picked up the paper and sat down in his armchair to read. In a few minutes he was sound asleep. The clock in the hall ticked off the leaden minutes. Eight o’clock! . . . The end of the day for the Gregorys. For some people it was the peak of all the twenty-four hours! For some people 8 o’clock meant brilliant restaurants, streets filled with rushing taxicabs and cheerful crowds, theaters with their doors wide. . . . Theaters! The thought of them brought Stanley Wayburn into Gloria’s mind. Where had he gone? Where was he now ... at this very minute? Suddenly Gloria put her head down on the table before her and cried as if her heart would break. Dick stirred, woke, lifted his head.
