Shs becomes infatuated With STANLEY WAY BORN, an actor. she lends him monev and when he leaves town to go to New York. Gloria follovrs him. But lie spurns her It is only then that Gloria realizes that she neveit ready cared for Waybum. But she is afraid to go home to Dick She tries iio land a job as a chorus girl and fails. Discouraged, she goes home to Dirk, who takes her baek. but not as hip wife. While Gloria is at, home one night, the house is burglarized Dick doesti t get home until early morning.

Gloria goes home determined, to win Dick again. She does her best “to clean up the house, and show Dick what a good wife she is going to be. But she forgets to order food for supper. Dick unwillingly offers to take her out to a restaurant. By Beatrice Burton CHAPTER LII LORIA followed Dick out to the garage. She couldn’t help noticing how his shoulders drooped and his step lagged when he walked. “Rikky,’’ she said, using the old nickname. “I'm sorry as the dickens that I didn’t have dinner ready for you tonight. I can see that you’re dead tired. How much sleep did you have last night?” “Not a wink,’’ Dick answered. “How could I sleep when my best friend had just killed himself because of his utterly worthless wife? I can’t figure out why John cared so much for a good-for-nothing creature like May.... He should never have married her in the first place! That was his tig mistake.” Gloria bit her lip. She wondered if Dick thought she was any better than May. Perhaps he was sorry that he had married her.... Well she wouldn't let him he sorry! She had turned over anew leaf. “Where are we going?” she asked as the car turned in Fortieth St. “We re going to invite ourselves to mother's for a meal," Dick answered grimly. “I’m sick of restaurant food. I’m fed up on it.” Neither of them said another word until they swung into the broad driveway of the Gregory homestead. It looked so peaceful and welcoming tonight, with its lights streaming out from the windows... .its rose bushes blooming beyond the sweep of lawn. Mother and Father Gregory were just sitting down to dinner, when Dick and Gloria walked in. “Well, isn’t this a fine surprise!” Mother Gregory cried. She got up and put her arms around Dick, while Father Gregory beamed at them over his horn-rimmed spectacles. Gloria felt left out in the cold. “How did you know we were going to have strawberry shortcake for supper?” Mother Gregory asked. She turned to Gloria and gave her the briefest of kisses. “I smelled it!” Dick answered, laughing. “Blocks and blocks away I smelled it....above the rich perfume of gasoline that scents our town! And it drew me, like a magnet!” * * * eE looked like a boy as he sat down at the table . . . carefree and happy, in his old home. Gloria watched him with narrowed eyes. She hadn’t seen hint like this for weeks. Mother Gregory bustled around the room, getting out plates from the china cabinet, and napkins from the sideboard. “Deg of lamb tonight—and fresh peas. I shelled them, myself, and they were a job,” she said. But there was no complaint in her voice. She was a born housekeeper and she loved hard work . . . really enjoyed it! Gloria looked around the room. How different it was from her own dining room at home! She couldn't help thinking that. There the silver was tarnished, and the chairs were dusty. Here there were fresh roses in the center of the snowy cloth. Everything . . . glasses, forks and furniture . . . that could be made to shine, was agleam. There wasn’t a speck of dirt anywhere. The salad was crispy cold, and the things that should be hot were hot. The meal was delicious. “Mother Gregory,” Gloria said on a sudden impulse, “You're wonderful! Ts I could keep house just half as well as you I’d he satisfied! And by jinks, I’m going to learn how to do it!” Mother Gregory laid down her

“Why should 1 tell you a lie?” she asked.

fork. She gave Gloria a searching look. “My dear child!” she said, “That’s the most sensible thing I’ve ever heard you say! And if you need any help, come to me for it!” “Give her your recipe for strawberry shortcake,” Dick suggested. “You said you were going to have shortcake, didn’t you?” Mother Gregory laughed. “As Gloria would say, ‘we are going to have nothing else but’ ” she answered. “Gloria, you capy out the plates while I cut the shortcake. It’s Maggie’s night out.” Gloria picked up the platter and took it out into the big, clean kitchen. “I’ve been thinking over what you told me this morning,” Mother Gregory said to her, quietly. “About you and Dick living apart ... I wouldn’t worry about if I were yod. It will turn out all right, after a while. Dick's pride's hurt .... and I can't say I blame him.” Gloria shook her pretty head. “No,” she said. “It goes deeper than that. Dick doesn’t care for me any more... .1 saw it in his face tonight. And it isn’t that he hates me. He’s just indifferent to me. He’s through with me!” ** * , S r— “1 HE went into the dining room and came back with a pile of k_J plates, and a vegetable dish. “Then, whom is he in love with?” Mother Gregory asked. “If he's not in love with you... .depend upon it, a man of Dick’s age is always in love with somebody or other. That’s nature.” Gloria stood silent for A moment, watching Dick’s mother pile whipped cream on the shortcake. “Yum, yum! Doesn’t that look deluscious!” she said childishly. Then she sobered. “I told you this morning that I think he’s fallen in love with Miss Briggs. And I do think so!” "Nonsense!” Mother Gregory said sharply. “Dick likes you just as well as he ever did! You just settle down and be a good wife to him, and he’ll be tickled to death with you.” She nodded vigorously, so that all the beads on her black dress sparkled. “I really haven't been a good wife, have I?” Gloria asked humbly. Afterward, she wishes she hadn’t said that. Mother Gregory was the soul of frankness always. She opened her lips, now, and let Gloria have the truth about her wifehood... .or at least what she considered the truth. “You never were any kind of a wife at all to Dick!” she said. “You were a drag and a worry to him.... a pretty toy. And any toy becomes tiresome, after a while.” She put her hands on the girl's slim shoulders, and looked at her gravely. "Months ago I told you married life wasn’t a game, but a business, didn’t I?” she asked. Gloria nodded. “You believe me now, don’t you?” Mother Gregory went on. “And I’m going to tell you something else. Nothing ties a man to a woman like a child. You take my advice, and give Dick a son or two and a couple of daughters....’’ Tears smarted in Gloria's eyes. It was too late now, for that wise advice. Dick no longer loved her.... He didn’t want her to he the mother

A well known manufacturers’ association in the United States has a very good reason for using the letters on the above card. This phrase separated into its smallest parts and rearranged in a different, order is used on the labels attached to all garments, utensils, and machinery manufactured by members of this organization. This kind of advertising is very necessary to promote the sal© of this type of goods, both here and abroad. What is the correct arrangement of the letters on the card? Last puzzle answer: Since 1918, 157 mail planes have crashed to earth and 121, the square of 11, plus 36, the square of six, equals that number exactly.

of his children. She was sure of that. She winked away her tears, and helped Mother Gregory serve the shortcake. • • • SHERE was a chill in the air when Dick and Gloria left the Gregory homestead at 10 o’clock that night. Gloria shivered in her thin silk frock. She cuddled up against Dick in the machine, and laid her hekd down on his shoulder. But he paid no attention to her. He might have been a man of iron as he sat at the wheel. “Move over, Gloria,” he said finally. “You’re in my way, I can’t reach the brake.” “You don't need the brake. There's no traffic,” Gloria said crossly. But she moved away from him. She had a wild desire to cry. “You just don’t want me near you!” she said, her voice trembling. “I know—l know.” Dick said nothing. In silence that seemed to crackle all around them... .so electric it was ....they drove into the garage and walked around to the front of the house. “Well, I wonder how many burglars will visit us tonight?” Dick said as he turned the key in the lock. They went in. “It’s a shame about that silver.... although we were insured,” Gloria answered. “I went down to the office today, and had Miss Briggs look it up.” Dick frowned. “I wish you wouldn’t come down there and give her orders,” he said. “When I got UPStI SHACK, GAS, INDIGESTION Chew a few Pleasant Tablets, —Stomach Feels Fine!

Gloria Tells Dick of Miss Briggs’ Confession of Love.

back from lunch today, she was gone. Her mother called up to say she'd been taken sick. I suppose her feelings were hurt because of something yoU said to her You were rude enough to her last night! ....Now you promise you’ll stay away from my office!” Gloria tossed her head, wilfully. “She wasn’t sick because of anything I said to her!” she exclaimed. “It was something she said to me that made her sick. I'll bet you!” Dick sat down in his armchair and filled his pipe. "Well, what did she say?” “Told me what a crush she has on you,” Gloria answered calmly. Dick leaped to his feet. "What!” he almost shouted. "Sure she did,” Gloria said. "She told me she's been in love with you for years and years. She said that right up to the time you married me she hoped you’d fall in love with her That’s why she hates me so! She thinks I came between you.” Gloria stood in front of him, watching to see how he took it.. He took it, unwillingly. He didn't want to believe this thing that Gloria had just told him, although he must have guessed it. “Are you telling me the truth, Glory?” he asked at last. Gloria threw out both her little hands and grabbed the lapels of his coat. “Why should I tell you a lie?” she asked. “I don’t know.” Dick answered. “But you’ve told me a good many of them, you know, in the last few months.” Gloria winced under the sting in his quiet voice. “Well, whether you believe tt or not, it's the truth,” she said. “She’s in love with you . . . and you've got to get rid of her. You’d better hire a man for your secretary next time. He won’t fall for your fatal beauty!” • * * HE sat down on the davenport, and picked up a magazine. She turned its pages idly. Every nerve was waiting for Dick's answer. He took his pipe from his mouth, emptied the ashes from it, and be gan to scrape its bowl with his penknife. Gloria could see that lie was thinking hard. His eyebrows were pinched into a frown. “No,” he said presently. “I'm not going to discharge Susan Briggs. She’s a good worker . . . and she never upsets me. No matter how nervous I am, she soothes me, somehow . . . just the sound of her voice, the way she looks.” He was trying, in his awkward man's way to tell Goria that the ■■•ery sight of Susan Briggs’ quiet eyes gave him a sense of profound placidity and strength . . . the thing he needed. “Why!” Gloria cried out, "You’re talking about her as if you’re crazy about her. You are in love with her! . . . I’ve told you so, before. And I was right!” (To Be Continued)
