GLORIA

THE STORY SO I’AR: GLORIA GORDON beautiful flapper, marries DICK GREGORY, a etrugff ins: lawyer. Her idea of marriagre is fun and fine clothes . . . but no work or children. She refuses to do her own housework and hires RANGHILD SWANSON although Dick sa>s they can't afford a maid. And she swamps Dick with debts for her clothes and anew automobile. „ Gloria becomes infatuated with STANLEY WAT BURN, an out-of-work actor Her “jazzy" friend, MAY SEYMOUR, wife of DR. JOHN SEYMOUR, warns her not to be seen with Way burn. She tells Gloria how she herself has been o£ hfT lovc affair with JIM CARE WE. Dick becomes seriously ill with pneumonia. During the day* 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 $20(1 from Dick’s secretary. MISS BRIGGS, for Wayburn. She tells Miss Briggs she needs the money for the house. Gloria and Wayburn go driving and the car overturns. Wayburn disappears. Gloria, badly hurt, is taken to the hospital. When she is better Dick goes to see her. She tells him ail about her affair with Wayburn and he forgives her. But later, when she goes home she begins to be “blue” and unhappy. One night Dick finds her in tears. By Beatrice Burton CHAPTER XXXIX •tyy HAT’S the matter, honey?” yy he asked, yawning. “What are you crying about?” Gloria raised her tear-stained face. “My arm aches,” she said. “And I’m lonesome.” “Lonesome?” Dick repeated. “Why should you be lonesome right here in your own house with me?” Gloria sniffed. “You!” she cried. “You aren’t here only when you're asleep! Why don’t you stay awake and talk to me?” Dick laughed good nature,lly. He pulled his lacquer smoking stand up beside his chair and filled his pipe. It was a little short-stemmed brier pipe that smelled like a bonfire of autumn leaves. He puffed for a while in silence. “Do you want me to tell you what ails you, Glory?” he asked at last. “What maksa you so restless and unhappy?” There was a troubled look in Glory’s eyes. She turned her wedding ring round and round on her finger nervously. “Tell me,” she said. “Well you’re out of a job,” Dick answered her. “Oh, I might have known that was what you were going to say,” Gloria snapped. “You think work is the answer to everything!” Dick took his pipe out of his mouth. “It is,” he said. “Marriage is a job like everything else,” he went on. “But you won’t work at it. You’d be happy enough if you got up every morning and made the coffee and got breakfast. You wouldn’t have so much time to cry about being lonesome if you had to du3t the house every day. You’d have something to look forward to if you were sitting thermaking a little bany dress this minute You haven’t anything to do! That’s all that’s wrong with, you, honey.” Re tapped the tobacco from his pile into an ash tray and rose. ‘Think it over,” he said. Gloria tossed her head. “You’ve got me all wrong, smarty,” she cried. “It isn’t dusting I need to make me happy. It’s dancing!” Dick laughed. “Jazz baby!” he said. “Tied up to a 9-o’clock husband!” “Well, it’s no joke ... you needn’t laugh!” Gloria answered him hotly. “I hate to stick around the house like this every night, slowly dying of dry-rot. I want some fun, some parties! ... If this is married life, I hate it. So there!” '‘Well, I’m sorry, Glory,” Dick said soberly. “But I don’t see how I can help you out. . . .” He crossed the room to the bookcases and brought her a thick, shabby volume. It was Flaubert’s "Madame Bovary.” “Here’s a story of another woman who hated married life,” he said. “Read it. There’s a lesson in it for you. Glory-” Gloria took the book and hurled It across the room. “I don’t want to lead about life. I want to live it!” sle cried. “You Sunday-school prig, jou!” Without another look or word Dick went out of the room. After a few minutes Gloria could hear the thud of his shoes on the floor of his room upstairs as he

threw them down. Then came the sound of his window being- raised. > . „ The hall clock struck nine. • * • | , 7 | E gods."' Gloria wailed to IY I herself. “What a Life! Is I 1 this what I’m going to do every night for the next fifty years? Sit here, alone, waiting for the clock td strike?" She hadn’t noticed before ho.v deadly dull these evenings with Dick could be. She was sure Dick didn't think they were dull. The mere fact that he was in the same room with her satisfied him. He often said so. There was no doubt about it. „ „ . Dick adored her. But She didn't want to be adored in that good, quiet way of his. She wanted to bo thrilled —to be swept off her feet! Gloria’s thoughts swung back to Stanley Way burn. Little flames seemed to prickle in her cheeks as she thought of the battle they had had that day when she had wrecked her automobile. Stan had been rather too thrilling that day! She had been afraid of his hot kisses that seared her cheeks of his hands pinning her arms down to her sides. Yes, she was glad that she had struck him! He had gone too far. But it would be nice to see him again, all the same. She missed him, terribly! Gloria sighed as she stood up. Her foot was asleep. She went painfully around the room,, snapping off the lights. She lay awake, tossing on her pillow, until midnight thinking of Stanley Wayburn. • • • HE next morning Gloria ■ I started out to walk to her i I mother's house. But on the way she changed her mind. She would go to see May Seymour Instead! May was always cheery and peppy. And Gloria felt that she was badly in need of both cheer and pep. She found May in the kitchen washing her little chow dog, Mah Jong. May’s hair was wound up in curlers. She was In a pink crepe kimono and her face was shiny with traces of cold cream. She looked anything but pretty. ‘•Hello,” she greeted Gloria. ‘‘Look at me, breaking all the rules of ‘How to hold a husband’! This is the way I hang around the house most of the time, .looking like the witch

Puzzle a Day

I am a word of five letters. Behead me and I am a place for recreation. Cut off my tail and I am a part of a ship. Take away my first two letters and I am a huge Biblical boat. Remove my last two letters and I am a mineral spring. While if you cut off the first and last letters, or the first two and last letters. I still am a common English word. What am I?

CLASSIFIED EDNA ’ FERBEf?

The movie fan should have asked for “Rain,” “The Gorilla,” "Sally” and “Classified,” by Edna Ferber. The last named book was so hidden ,by the other volumes that the name of the book appeared to be “Lass,” by Ed Erbe.

“Good-by,” she said to May, as she and Jim danced past the living-room door where she was standing.

of Endor! And John sees me this way and he goes right on loving me just as much ns if I were a raving beauty. Can you beat it?” “You can not ” Gloria answered, seating herself on one corner of the kitchen table. “But don’t take too many chances, May. Men don’t stay in love forever with wives who run around the house in curl papers and cold cream. They all fall for a pretty face.” May rolled the struggling, yipping Mah Jong In a towel before she replied. “No,” she said then. "You're all wrong, Glory Gregory! WJion a man really cares about you he loves you just as much when you're ugly ani blue and have a cold in the head..... as he does when you’re wearing a marcel-wave, a pound of make-up and your vampiest clothes!. .. .That’s the way John cares about me. He likes me, not my looks.” Gloria shooK her head. “I can’t agree with you,” she remarked. “Now there’s Jim,” said May, with her head on one side. “Jim can’t see a girl for trees unless she looks like a movie queen.. . .Speaking of Jim reminds me of something else. Have you been asked to the party Mrs. Wing is having this afternoon?” "N-no,” Gloria faltered. “Looks as if she -was giving us the hinky-dink, doesn’t it?” May asked. “Does she know you’ve been skipping around with Wayburn?” “No,” Gloria began. Then she stopped. She remembered that she had been out walking with Wayburn one day when they had met Mrs. Wing. “Yes, she's seen me with Stan,” she said. “And she started the story that you were out riding with Wayburn the day you ran your car into the ditch!” May burst out excitedly. "I'll bet she’s put you in the same class with me and Jim.... She thinks I’m terrible. She doesn't*even speak to me when we meet on the street any more. She hands me the icetongs right!” Shy scrambled up from the floor, i tell you what, Glory! We’ll throw a party ourselves!” she cried. "I’ll get some of the old gang together for this afternoon! Eh, wot?” “Fair enough! Let’s do it!” Gloria was delighted. "I’m starved for a party!” May sat down aj. the telephone in Dr. John's study. Gloria took Mah Jong into the living-room where a wood fire was burning in the grate. She rubbed the little beast until he was dry and fluffy. The minute she set him down on the floor he scurried away to find May. He was at her heel3 when she came into the room. “I couldn’t round up very many people,” she said disconsolately. “I guess most of the girls are going to Mrs. Wing’s party. But I got Ann Somers. And Jim is going to bring out a couple of boys from his office. Awfully nice fellows. I told them all to come for lunch... .Will you run over to the delicatessen and get some cold meat and a couple of pies while I get dressed and set the table?” • • • SHE delicatessen was a mile away on College Ave. And when Gloria returned May’s “party” was under way.

May Seymour and Gloria Arrange An Impromptu Party.

Ann Somers was making cinna mon toast in the kitchen. She was a shy little widow with mouse-colored hair and big gray eyes. She was very popular with men. She let them all make love to her and then she cried about it afterward. Apparently it made a great hit with them. Jim Carewe called her “the red lily.” “Ann, you're some kid.” he was saying to her when Gloria came into the kitchen. "You know doggoned well that you're not going to marry Ted Sawyer. Why don’t you tell him so, instead of letting him dangle in the wind?” Ann went on buttering her toast. She hadn’t seen Gloria come Into the kitchen. "Well, I’ve got to have someone to take me around . . . since you won’t, Jim,” she answered softly, “Ted does as well as anyone.” Gloria coughed and cleared her throat. “The nasty little cat!” she said to herself. "I'll bet she's trying to land Jim, because of his money. In the meantime she’s keeping this Ted hanging around in case Jim doesn’t bite! Why can’t Jim see through her?” What fools men were to let women pull the wool over their eyes the way they did! Gloria felt like shaking Jim Carewe as she watched him pat Ann Somer's shoulder. She banged her packages down on the kitchen table and went Into the living room. May was dancing the Texas Tommy for Ted Sawyer and Jim Collins, the two nice ycung salesmen from Jim’s office. Presently Jim came in with a tray of "horse's necks.” “Ann says lunch is ready,” he said. “Isn’t this a good party, boys?” Everyone but Gloria seemed to think it was a good party. She couldn't dance because of her ban daged arm and shoulder. She didn't want her horse's neck or her cigaret. She felt “blue” somehow. At 4 o’clock she went upstairs and got her hat. “Goodby,” she said to May, as she and Jim danced past the livingroom door where she was standing. “Just let me sneak away without saying ‘goodby’ to the others. They won't miss me.” “Whatsa matter?” May asked “Lost your pep or don’t you like my party?” (To Be Continued.) TRAFFIC DEMORALIZED Sewer gas explosion at the K. of P.
