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 potntblank to do her own housework, and hires a maid. But Dick has to let the maid go. because he can’t afford her wages. Gloria has swamped him with debts for her clothes ana a new automobile. She becomes infatuated with an out-of-work actor. STANLEY WAYBURN. When he leaves town to go to New York. Gloria follows him. But he spurns her. Then she tries to find a job as a chorus girl and fails. It is then that Gloria realizes how lonely sho is for Dick. But she is afraid to go home. But at last she does go. Dick takes her back, but not as his wife. Gloria suspects that he is in love with his secretary. SUSAN BRIGGS. While Dick is out late one night, the house is robbed. Gloria is sure Dick spent the evening with Miss Briggs. But next morning she learns that he was at the home of DR. JOHN SEYMOUR, who had killed himself because of his wife’s love affair with JIM CAREWE. The breach between Gloria and Dick widens. Gloria learns that Miss Briggs is in love with him and begs him to discharge her. He refuses. Finally Gloria makes up her mind to leave Dick. She goes home to her mother, who tells her to return to Dick, By Beatrice Burton \ Chapter LV. mHE doorbell rang loudly through the little house. “That must be your Aunt Dorcas,’’ said Mrs. Gordon. “She said she’d stop In for me on her way to the hospital to see Lulu’s baby. . Gloria groaned. Aunt Dorcas was a born gossip. She told everything she knew for the pure joy of seeing the look of surprise and interest dawn In her listeners’ eyes. “Now, Mother, please don’t tell her anything about this trouble between Dick and me,” Gloria begged. ‘lf you do, it’ll be all over town by dark!” But she knew it was useless to ask her mother not to tell Aunt Dorcas anything. She was wax in the hands of Lulu’s mother. Aunt Dorcas was large and blond. She had the nose of a Roman senator, and the blue, inquiring eyes of a child. She turned one of her cheeks to Gloria to be kissed. “Well, my dear!” she said briskly, “Lulu beat you to it, having a baby! And she’s a year younger than you are, at that!” Gloria laughed. “She’s been married for two years, though,” she said, “And I haven’t been. . . . And anyway I should think you’d be furious with her for making you a grandmother at your age . . . only forty-four! And you don’t look a minute over thirty-five, does she, Mother?” Aunt Dorcas beamed. “Wouldn’t you like to come along with us to see the new baby, my dear?” she asked, flattered. “I would. . . . I’d love to,” fibbed Gloria, “but I’ve got to go home.” She ran upstairs to get her hat and over-night bag. “Been here all night?” Aunt Dorcas asked sharply. Her eyes were fixed on the little bag. “No,” Gloria answered reluctantly. She shot a warning look at her mother. “Gloria and Dick had a little quarrel,” Mrs. Gordon said blandly, “And I’ve been talking her into going home. ‘Bear and forbear’ I say. That’s the only way to get along with a man, Isn't It?" Aunt Dorcas shook her head. “Well, I don’t know whether it is or not,” she replied. “I never did think much of this young Gregory. I may as well tell you I always thought he was somewhat of a snob . . . and if I were Gloria I wouldn’t take any back-chat from him! She’s just as good as he is any day in the week!” "I haven’t taken any back-chat from him,” said Gloria. “The whole thing’s been my own fault. . . . And It Isn’t anything that matters, anyhow. A tempest in a teapot!” Her aunt snorted. “No, I guess mthing’s the matter when you pack up and come home!” she exclaimed. “I should say that something was very much the matter! . . . Well, are we ever going to start for tha hospital, Libby?” Mrs. Gordon hurried upstairs. “There’s a pie I baked, all wrapped up for you on the pantry shelf, Glory,” she called downstairs. “Tell Dick I sent it to him.” Gloria tucked the pie carefully into one side of her bag. “I’d

love to stay here and visit with you, Aunt,” she said, “but I’ve just got to go home. . . “I think you’re very foolish to go home. If you’ve quarreled with your husband make him come here after you!” Aunt Dorcas spoke her mind. “You take my advice. . . . I’ll bet your mother's been telling you to knuckle down and go home. That’s the way she’s been all her life . . . afraid to say 'Boo' to a goose! But what’s it ever got her, eh? Nothing, so far as I can see!” She tapped her foot angrily on the floor. "She thinks she has a great deal," Gloria said softly, “And she and Dad really are happy in their way. . . .” She kissed her aunt on her florid cheek where a tiny network of veins was beginning to show. She drew a sigh of relief when she escaped, at last, from the house and from Aunt Dorcas. * • • 0"“ IN HER way homo Gloria stopped in at a store on Col\___J lege Ave. and bought herself a housedress. It was a soft, pretty thing with frills around the neck and sleeves. She. had a sudden vision of herself in it when Dick should come home that night. He would think that she had gone....and there she would be, with dinner ready, the table set, the house clean! Wouldn’t he get the surprise of his life, though! Unless he had a heart of granite, that certainly ought to melt him And let’s see, what would she have for dinner? Dick liked lamb chops and fresh peas. She’d have them, she guessed... .No, even Mother Gregory had said that it was quite a job to shell peas. Gloria bought canned ones and a can of beets. And she saw some potato salad In a delicatessen she passed. So she bought that, too. It would save her going to the bother of cooking potatoes.... Then there was the pie her mother had given her. Why, she wouldn’t have anything to cook but the meat! Anybody could warm up canned vegetables. “How long do you fry lamb chops?” Gloria asked the butcher as he wrapped them up for her. “ ‘Bout fifteen minutes, lady,” he said. “Depends on how you like ’em, rare or well done.” How did Dick like his meat cooked? Gloria didn't know. Well, she guessed she'd take a chance and fry them slowly for twenty minutes. At 6 o'clock that night she put them on the stove. The peas and beets were in their kettles. The potato salad was heaped high in a bowl on the dining-room table. Gloria’s heart swelled with honest pride as she looked around the house. It was in what she called perfect order. There was a roll of dust, like a gray mouse, here and there in a shadowy corner but no one would notice that she was sure. She went upstairs to her room to put a little powder on her nose. She Puzzle a Day At the last fur auction held In St. Louis two furriers bought a quantity of eastern mink skins and in addition they purchased a job lot of 800 mink feet. The latter were to be used as trimming. When these were delivered both furriers assisted In the unpacking. Each carried 12 feet into the work rooms each trip. How many trips were required before all the mink feet were carried to the workroom?

decided that she needed some more rouge on her cheeks... .and more gloss on her fingernails. * * * S p ~~] UDDENLY Gloria sniffed the air What was that queer smell?... .The meat! The chops were burning! She flew downto the kitchen. It was filled with smoke. The sputtering fat in the pan had caught on fire. It was b’azing. “Here’s where the house goes up in smoke!" Gloria thought with terror. She lifted the red-hot pan from the stove in her bare hands. Then she ran out doors with it, and threw it down on the grass. It hissed fiercely as she turned a spray of water from the garden hose on it. Gloria was so excited that she did not hear Dick drive into the yard. It was only when she turned to go back to the house that she saw him watching her from the driveway. "What have you been doing.... having a bonfire?” he asked. Gloria burst Into tears. She ran over to the car to show Dick how she had burned her hands. "No,” she sobbed. “I just burned up all the chops....and I’m all blistered, t 00!... .Oh—-ooh! I meant ‘.o have such a good dinner, t 00....” "I didn’t expect to find you here at all,” Dick said calmly. "You said you were going to leave me, last night, you know.” Gloria hung her head. “I know I did,” she said in a tone so low that Dick divined rather than heard her words; “but I changed my mind.” Dick studied her for a moment with half-lowered lids. Gloria thought she even detected a gleam of amusement in his eyes. "Well, never mind about that," he said. “Run upstairs and get your hat and I’ll take you downtown for dinner. I’ll wait here for you. Hurry!” Gloria put the fire out under the vegetables on the stove and took the potato salad away. She made a paste of baking soda and water to smear on her bums. In the old days Dick would have done it for her without doubt. He would have been filled with distress and pity....and he probably would have kissed the blistered hands. Now he didn’t seem to care. He was utterly indifferent to her. And the thought was all the harder to bear because Gloria knew that she had brought all this on herself Dick’s indifference and*aloofness. She had helped to build the wall that rose between them, mountain high. * * * S'-—""! HE put on a sage green sports hat and went out to the autoL—J mobllrf’. “Darn shame about your hands,” Dick muttered as she got in beside him. Gloria said nothing. “Where do you want to go to eat?” he asked. Some demon in Gloria’s brain prompted her answer. “Let’s go to the restaurant where you and Miss Briggs eat," she said wickedly. “By the way, how is Miss Briggs behaving herself these days?” "As usual . . . perfectly,” Dick said. "Hasn’t she told you she loves you yet?” Gloria raised her eyebrows in feigned surprise. "I though that would be the first thing she’d do!” Dick didn’t answer. But he drove the car down Pennsylvania St. to the little restaurant. It was a silent meal that they ate at the little comer table where the two of them and Susan Briggs had dined only a few days before. The waiter had set their coffee down before \them before either spoke. “What’s become of your rings?” Dick broke the silence that had hung, like a smoke-screen between them. "Your wedding ring and your diamond?” Gloria felt herself redden. *‘I—EVERYTHING FOR BIRDS YwV Bird Seed, 2 lbs. for 25c. Bird Cages, Stand* and Accessories.

sold them when I was in New York,” she faltered. “I had to have the money.” Dick looked down at her hands, curiously, but said nothing. "I hated to do it,” Gloria went on, feeling that she ought to say something. “But I didn't have a dollar to pay my hotel bill. I don’t suppose I’ll have another diamond like the one In my engagement ring will I?” “Not from me,” Dick answered shortly. Gloria leaned across the table toward him Her eyes were soft and bright with unshed tears. And her voice trembled when she spoke. "What difference does It make that the rings are gone... .when the marriage they stood for Is gone?” she asked. “You don’t love me any more.” * (To Be Continued)

For Catarrh and Colds To relieve catarrh or check a head cold, melt a little Vicks In a spoon and Inhale the vapors of Camphor, Menthol, Eucalyptus. Thyme and Turpentine. Also put a little in each nostril and snuff well back up the head. Another way is to heat a tin cup, put In a teaspoonful of Vicks and inhale the vapors that way.
