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 pointblanli to do her Swn housework, and hires a maid. ut Dick has to let the maid go, because he can’t afford to pay her wages. Gloria has swamped him with debts for her clothes and anew autoShe becomes infatuated with Stanley Wayburn, an actor. She lends him money, ami finally, when he leave* town to go to New York. Gloria follows him. Ho spurns her. telling her he has just married a Russian actress. Then Gloria tries to land a. Job as a chorus girl and. fails. Discouraged, Bhe comes home to Dick. He takes her back, but not as hia wife. Olio night Gloria leaves him to work late at (he office with Susan Briggs, his w ere tar y. While Glojla ie at home, alone, the hone is robbed. Dick doesn't get home until almost morning. Gloria wonders if ha was ■with Miss Briggs all that time. But next mornkig she learns that he was at the house of Dr. John Seymour, who had killed himself because of the love affair that existed between his wife May and Jim Carewe. Gloria goes to Dicks office to tell him about the robbery, a.nd „to make one last attempt to win him again.

By Beatrice Burton CHAPTER L til R, GREGORY’S gone out to M lunch,” Miss Briggs told Gloria. “But he ought to be back soon. If you'd like to, you can sit down and wait for him. You won’t disturb me at all.” She went on with her typewriting. Gloria glared down at her smooth head, bent over the machine. .... She guessed she had a perfect right to sit in her own husband’s office without waiting for Miss Briggs’ permission! And if she wanted to disturb Miss Briggs, she could do that, too. Watch her! She took off her hat and tossed it down carelessly on Miss Briggs desk. It bounded off onto the floor. Gloria picked it up and handed it to Miss Briggs. “Just brush that thing off,” she Bald impudently. Miss Briggs looked up at her in euprise. Then she flushed deeply. But without a word she wiped the dust from Gloria’s hat with a handtowel that she took from a drawer of her desk. Then she hung it on the rack behind her. “Book up our burglary insurance, While you’re on your feet, Miss Briggs,” Gloria snapped. Prom under her thick lashes, she Watched Miss Briggs go to the files on the other side of the room, and look for the insurance papers. "Here they are, Mrs. Gregory,” Bhe said quietly, as she handed them to Gloria. "And now call up the police and tell them we had a robbery at our house last night,” Gloria directed her. “Tell them all our table silver Was stolen. It was worth about S2OO m . . in case they ask you.” Miss Briggs stood looking down at her for a moment. “Wouldn't it be better if you talked to them yourself, Mrs. Gregory?” she asked in a low tone. "They’re sure to ask a lot of questions that I won’t know how to answer.” Gloria met her look, coldly, “Will you please do what I told you to?” she drawled. Miss Briggs bit her lips. It was on the end of her tongue to tell Gloria that not she, but Dick, was her employer. But, because of Dick, she said nothing. She picked up the phone and called the police. They asked a dozen questions, and at last Gloria took the instrument from her, and answered them. "I’ll send a man out right away to look things over,” the deep, masculine voice at the other end of the wire told her. “There have been a lot of burglaries in that neighborhood lately.” * • * S Gloria turned away from the I/V I telephone, it suddenly ocI * H curred to her that there was no one at the house to admit the man from police headquarters when he got there. "Oh, well,” she though, carelessly, "what’s the diff? He can come back later.” She didn’t want him going through her house, now, anyway. The beds were still unmade, although it was afternoon, and the dirty dishes from yesterday’s lunch were still piled in the greasy sink. Por some reason or other, an old English poem that her mother used to tell her when she was lazy, flashed into Gloria’s brain. It told about a collier’s sloppy wife, who loved to gossip and hated to work. One evening he was killed at the mine. And when they brought his body home "the slut ran up to make the bed,” the poem said with brutal frankness. Oh, well, after she had seen Dick and fixed things up with him, she’d go home and straighten the house, Gloria promised herself. She would honestly try to be a better housewife from now 0n.... "■Won’t you have a lettuce sandwich?” Miss Briggs’ low voice broke In upon her thoughts, i She had opened a package of 'sandwiches, and a thermos bottle stood on her desk. From it came a thin curl of steam and the fragrant smell of coffee. “I always bring my lunch from home, Mrs. Gregory. I fin<J I can’t afford to eat around at restaurants.

Puzzle a Day

+£ Here is an illustrated proverb. The secret in solving: this kind of puzzle is to read it out loud. If you do this a few times the words just fall in place naturally and without effort. Can you discover the hidden proverb? Hast puzzle answer: Each bottle of medicine cost 12 coupons. Mr. Stump had 16 coupons, twice as many as his wife, who had 8 coupons. If she gave him 2 he would have 18, three times as many as she would have left, or 6 coupons. On the other hand, if he gave her 4 coupons, she would have (8 plus 4) 12 coupons, and he would have (16 minus 4) 12 coupons, pr the cost of 1 bottle of medicine.

Will you have some coffee with me?” “No, thanks,” Gloria answered coldly. She was very hungry but she couldn’t very well eat salt with Miss Briggs when she hated her as she did. And she di,d hate her! She hated Miss Briggs’ lovely voice and the dainty way she ate . . . everything about her. Gloria watched her slyly. There really was something attractive about the woman. But, of course, she wasn’t pretty the way Gloria was! * * * S'” HE curled herself tip like a kitten in a big chair In the sunny corner by the windows. She took out her vanity case and looked at herself in Its little mirror. Then her eyes traveled to Miss Briggs’ face. No—Susan Briggs at her best couldn’t hold a candle to her when it came to looks, Her eyes were lovely, but there were fine crows’ feet at the corners of them. And (here were shadows at tho corners of Miss Briggs’ mouth that would be deep, carved wrinkles in a few years. . . . Was it possible that Dick was in love with this plain little woman was at least eight years older than his beautiful young wife? But perhaps he had tired of her just because she was his wife, Gloria thought gloomily. She had heard May Seymour often say in her flip, bitter way that no man loved his wife after the first flush of married life was gone. . . . May Seymour! She of all women, had least reason for saying a thing like that! She must have known all along how desperately Dr. John cared for her. A folded newspaper lay on the sill beside Gloria. She picked it up. It was full of the ugly details of Dr. John’s suicide. On the first page was a large photograph of May in a plumed picture hat. Poor May! She was fair game for any gossip today! Everybody’s tongue was wagging about her. What a life she was facing! For years and years and years people would remember that her husband had killed himself because of her love affair with another man . . . the story would hound her to the very day she died. No matter where she went, the tale would follow her. No matter In what remote corner of the world she tried to hide, there would always be someone who knew all about her . . . People never let you forget your shame. . . . Gloria wondered if Jim Car-

ewe was worth the misery that was waiting May. Was any man ... any happiness , A worth such misery? And what would Jim do notfr? Would he marry May when the scandal had quieted down? . . Gloria doubted it. Jim wasn’t the marrying kind. And suppose he did marry May? Wouldn’t the memory of Dr. John always be between like a ghostly hand keeping them apart? Os course it would. He hadn’t been able to keep his wife away from Jim Carewe, while he lived. But now that he was dead. It would probably be easy enough. “Ughl” Gloria shivered at the thought of the power the dead can have over the living. • • • ISS BRIGGS lookea up at her. She had cleared away her l—l lunch and was reading a thin little book. “I suppose,” she said to Gloria, “you’ve been reading that piece In tho paper about Dr. Seymour’s suicide. Terrible thing, wasn’t it?” “Horrible," Gloria agreed. It was a relief to talk about it to anyone. “Why do you suppose he did such a thing . . a successful doctor, still young, and with everything to live fdr?” Miss Briggs let her hands fall Idly on her desk. They were lovely, sensitive hands her one vanity. “Perhaps he didn’t have everything,” she said very quietly. “Nobody has everything he wants in this world, nobody! And besides, I’ve heard that Dr. Seymour and his wife didn’t get along very well together.” Now who had told her that . . . Dick? Oh, no. Mrs. O’Hara of course! She was Miss Briggs’ sister as well as Dr. John’s “boss” nurse. She had probably known all about his troubles. Gloria said to herself. These nurses, they found out everybody’s business. “Miss Briggs,’’ Gloria asked abruptly. “Did you ever know why Dr. Seymour and his wife didn’t get along?” Miss Briggs opened her candid eyes. “Why, yes,” she answered. “There was some sort of love affair between Mrs. Seymour and a Mr. Carewe, wasn’t there? I’ve heard there was.” Gloria shook her head. “It wasn’t a love affair,” she said. “Not what I’d call a love affair, at least. May Seymour is my best friend, and I happen to know she

Gloria Accuses Miss Briggs of Being in Love With Dick.

wasn’t in love with Jim Carewe. She used to tear around with him because she was lonely. Dr. John was never at home, and May didn’t have many women friends... .She called Jim her ‘little boy friend’ and that’s all he was to her. I know!” • • • ISS BRIGGS looked at her with indignant, angry eyes. L ___J “Oh, that’s beastly!” she cried. “What’s beastly? What do you mean?” asked Gloria, bewildered. She didn’t know what Miss Briggs was talking about. “Oh, I mean that you could almost forgive a woman for a great big love, affair that had swept her off her feet!” Susan Briggs said. “But when you think of a fine man like Dr. John Seymour killing himself over a 'parlor sheik’ who happened to amuse his wife....Oh, It’s sickening! And what a hideous waste!... .For Dr. John was needed. He was of some use in the world. “Oh, May’s not so bad!” Gloria said. She wanted to defend May, but she didn’t see just what defense of her there was. “She’s just made a botch of things ....’’ she finished, weakly. “I guess I won’t wait any longer for Dick. I ought to go home.” She put on her hat before the mirror, fluffed out the dark reddish gold curls around her ears. As she passed Miss Briggs' desk her eye was caught by the bright cover of the book she was reading. It wal Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Vallima Letters.” “Did Dick lend you that?” Gloria asked sharply. She didn’t much care for the idea that Dick let Sue Briggs take his precious books. “No, I bought it,” Miss Briggs answered, blushing furiously. "I was interested in it because.... She stopped. “Because Dick likes Stevenson? Is that what you’re trying to say?” Gloria asked, cruelly. She saw in a flash that she had hit upon the truth. For Miss Briggs broke down. She put her handkerchief up to her face and sobbed, tearless. Gloria just barely touched her hand with one of hers. “There’s nothing for you to cry about,” she said. "I’ve known for a long time that you’re in love with Dick.” (To Be Continued)
