GLORIAS

THE STORY SO FAB Gloria Gordon, beautiful flapper, marries Dick Gregory, a s merer ling 1 lawyer. Her idea of marrlae! is fun and line clothes . . . and no children. Dick borrows Mag rie, his mother’s maid, to teach' Gloria to cook. But she refuses to 1 '.am. to (he great disgust of mother Gregory. Then Maggie leaves, because of Gloria's wild parties. Gloria hires Ranghlld Swan ion, although Dick tells her they can't afford :v maid. She swamps Dick with debt and demands anew automobile. Dick becomes dangerously ill with pneumonia. During the time of his recovery, Gloria asks Dick's secretary. Miss Susan Briggs, to give her S2OO of Dick s morey. She explains that plie needs It for the house, so Miss Briggs gives t to her. Then Gloria lends the money to Stanley Wayburn, an out-of-work actor with whom she is infatuated. Wayburn plans to use the money to go to New York to look up a Job. A few days before he goes. Gloria and he are out driving in her ear, when they have an accident. Wavburn leaves Gloria lying under the wrecked car, goes for help, and disappears. His cigaret ease is found lying under the car. and when Dick sees it. ho goes to the hospital to see Gloria and forces a confession from her about her friendliness with Wayburn. Weeks pass. Gloria finds her life very stale without Wayburn. Then her friend. May Seymour, wife of Dr. John Seymour, tells Gloria there h; s been much gossip about her affair with Wayburn. Her friends begin to shun her. May gives a party which includes Gloria, Jim Carewe. a man who is half in love with May. and some of his gay friends. Gloria leaves early. She’s "blue” and depressed. 15y Beatrice Burton CHAPTER XL

Mr- 1 AY stopped dancing: and shoved Carewo down into an armchair. ‘‘Park yourself there for a minute, Jim,” she said. "I want to talk to Gloria.” She came cut into the hall, closing the doors behind her as she came. She sat down on the bottom step of the stairs and looked up at Gloria with puzzled eyes. "What’s the matter with you, anyway?” she asked. t’ve noticed that you've been singing the blues to yourself, all day. You haven’t had a bit of a good time, have you?” Gloria shook her head. “No,” she confessed, “I haven’t. I feel awfully ‘blah,’ somehow or other, today.” “You’re worrying about that sap, Wayburn,” said with sudden bluntness. “And you’re a fool to do ;t! I've had his number ever since the night of your party when he made such a fuss over Myra Gail. He’s some sheik... .At least, he kids himself that he is!” Gloria looked intently at her fingernails. “Stan’s left town,” she said at last. ‘‘So don’t worry about him and me any more....And I don't know what’s the matter with mo, May. Honestly.” But she did know. She was terribly lonely without Wayburn. “What’s the use of pretending?” she asked herself on the way home through the streets, warm and sunny in the late afternoon quiet. “I’m homesick for Stan. That’s what’s the matter with me. That’s all that’s wrong with me.” Wayburn had filled her idle days with interest for months past. When there was nothing else on hand he was always ready to go for a drive or a hike with her. He always had anew dance to teach her ....or the latest New York hit to sing to her. • * * eE had a ready laugh, and a wealth of funny stories. He was amusing. Gloria had always called him her “one-man show.” Now that he was gone, time hung heavily on her hands. She didn’t know what to do with herself all day long. “I’m lost without Stan. That’s about the size of it,” she told herself, as she turned the corner of her own street. The mother of the Donberg twins was just ahead of her, followed by her lovely off-spring on roller skates. Across the street two of the neighbors stood gossiping on the driveway between their houses. Gloria looked at them, curiously. They seemed happy and contented ir. their placid, deep-bosomed maturity . . . those two women. "But I wonder if they really are,” Gloria asked herself. "Or q re they sick and tired of married life, like I am?” She quickened her steps and caught up with Mrs. Donberg. “Hello, there!” said the twins' mother. “It’s nice to see you around home again. I tried to get to *he hospital to see you, but the twins were both sick in bed with bronchitis, and I never pcked my nose outside the house for two weeks!” She sighed. “It’s just one thing after another for a woman, isn’t it?” she asked. “Now it’s the spring sewing, and then the canning season will be here, and after that the fall cleaning and sewing! . . . My good-

Dick groaned despairingly as lie dropped into diis armchair.

ness, I don't get time to do half the things I'd like to do!” Gloria looked at her intently. Was this little, bright-eyed smiling woman discontented like herself?” "What would you like to do, really?” Gloria asked her. Mrs. Donberg laughed. "Well,” she said, “I’ve had three cans of blue paint up on my broomcloset shelf for three months,” she said, "and I know It sounds silly to say it, but I just can't seem to find time to paint the twins’ bedroom set with it! That's what I’d really enjoy. Fixing up my house so it would be pretty, like yours, Mrs. Gregory.” Gloria’s interest flagged. She certainly had nothing in common with the little "hausfrau” beside her! She said goodby to her and walked on. • * • Di| ICK was In the side yard transplanting some cannas i___ along the house. “Hello, where have you been all day?” he greeted 'her. "At May's house,” Gloria answered briefly. Dick ran up the front steps nnd opened the door for her. He followed her into the house. He asked her how May was. He told her that Mrs. Gordon had tele phoned an invitation to spend the day with her tomorrow. But Gloria knew that that was not what he had come into the house to say. He said it leaning up against the newel-post at the foot of the stairs, nervously tapping the trowel he still held, on the polished wood. "Doc Seymour thinks I ought to go away for a rest,” he said. "How would you like to go with me to Freuch Lick for a couple of weeks or so? It would do us both good.” i lloria's eyes narrowed. Is your mother going along, by any chance?” # she asked, biting oft the words like little bits of ice. "We —ell, Doc Seymour thinks she ought to go along,” he began. “She's not getting ever her operation as well as he hoped....” Gloria interrupted him snappishly. “Is she going?” she asked sharply. "Now, don't hedge, Dick! She is going, isn't BhO?" "I don’t see how I can very well tell her you don't want her with us,” he said. “After all, she’s my mother, Glory.” “Well, go with her, then! Bu*. count me out!” Gloria cried passionately. “I wouldn’t go to the most wnderful place on earth with your mother, Dick! I can’t .stand her!” Angry tears sprang to her eyes. But she brushed them away with the back of her hand and ran upstairs. She went into the little taffetahung room that had been hers since the beginning of Dick's illness. She locked the door behind her. In a moment Dick was there, rattling the knob. “Open the door. Glory,” he pleaded, "and we'll talk this thing over sensibly What’s the use of your taking it this way? Even if mother goes with us, you won't have to see much of her Open the door, please!” "Oh, dry up and blow away!” Gloria answered crossly. "I'm not going to talk about it any more! You

go with your precious mother, and I'll find something to amuse me heie... .never fear!” Bhe stopped suddenly. She had just found the letter! Stanley Wayburn's letter!... .There it stood, propped up against a tall perfume bottle on her dresser, where she would be sure to see it. • * 4 __ JJ ITH shaking fingers, she \X/ ripped open the cheap, white ■ ~ envelope. "Dear Russet,” the letter read. "I trust this letter will find you well and happy. After I sent the old farmer to get you the day of the accident I beat It. I thought you were dead when I saw you lying under the car, and I knew if I stayed I’d be mixed up in a scandal. Believe me, I was glad when I heard that you’d only had a few broken bones. If anyone happened to find my sliver cigaret case, will you send it to me?” “As always, S. W.” Below the le .er he had penciled his address. He was living on Forty-Second street, in New York. Forty-Second street! The words brought to Gloria a sudden vision of electric lights, dashing taxicabs, gay crowds of people, red-striped awnings before restaurant entrances.... Her bredth caught in her throat. How she would love to be there! Part of the movement, the color, the riot, the noise! • • • I—| HERE was corned beef for I dinner that night... .corned L. I beef with horse-radish sauce and boiled cabbage. "I hate corned beef!” Gloria exclaimed when the meal was almost over. "I wish you’d give me a little more money to keep house on, Dick. Then we wouldn’t have to eat this horrible stuff, just because its cheap!” , Dick laid down his knife and fork on his plate. He looked across the table at Gloria thoughtfully. "That reminds me,” he said. “Miss Briggs said she let you have S2OO of mine while I was sick to spend on the backyard. I’m afraid I’ll have to ask you for that money. Glory We can’t afford to spend it jU3t now. That’s why I'm trying to fix the place up, myself.” Under the tablecloth, Gloria's hands were twisting and untwisting themselves frantically. She tried to open her mouth to speak. But she couldn't make up her mind what to say. What should she say? What was there to say? She had given up all hope of Wayburn’s paying back the money! • • • HE sat silent, looking at Dick with her great brown eyes !■■■ fixed and staring. Then she began to cry. Tears always distressed Dick horribly, she knew. He got up and came around the table to her. He drew her up from her chair, and out of the room. He led her to the davenport in the living room and pushed her down into its velvety depths. "Poor little thing!” he said, "are you afraid to tell me what you did with the money? . . . You spent it, didn’t you?” Gloria nodded, sobbing against Dick’s breast. "There, there, don’t cry,” he said. “It doesn’t matter, honey. I wouldn't have mentioned it to you, only we’re dead-broke. I'd have given it to you for hats and things, if I weren’t right down to rock bottom!” Gloria wiped her eyes, and looked up at him. "Then, where are you going to get the money to go away on your trip?” she asked. "I should think you’d go rigbc back to work tomorrow, if you’.'e down to your last dollart Instead of planning an expensive trip!” Dick groaned despairingly as he dropped into his armchair. "That’s what I’d like to do . . . get back to work.” he said, “but Doc Seymour won’t let me go back into the office until I’ve put on ten pounds. He says I’ll go all to pieces if I do.” He cleared his throat and went on with difficulty. "I'm going to mortgage the house,” he said. “You see, I’ve just got to get some money to tide us over ’til I start earning again. Gosh, I hate to put a plaster on it. too, but I guess it can’t be helped We’ve had a pretty tough run of luck, lately, you and I . . . haven’t ire, sweetheart?”

Gloria nodded. She patted the bandage across her aching shoulder. “I should say we have!” she answered. “By the way, what’s become of Wayburn?” Dick asked. "I still have that cigaret case of his. I ought to give it to him.” “You can't,” Gloria answered. “He’s left town.” The moment she had said it she could have bitten off her tongue for her stupidity. "Hmm!" Dick mused, “that's so. ... A letter came for you from New York today. I told Ranghild to put it on your dresser. Did you get it?” “Yes, Gloria faltered. “I did.” “Who writes you letters from New York?” Dick asked.
