Gloria tries to do a good 'oh of housekeeping and falls. At last she makes up her mind to leave Dick. The morning she decides to go. May Seymour comes to see her. She shows Gloria a slipping from a newspaper, and bursts into tears. By Beatrice Burton CHAPTER LVIII. G" "| LORIA unfolded the little clipping, curiously. ■— "Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Mill brook of N. Meridian St., announce the engagement of their daughter, Margot, to Mr. James Neale Carewe, formerly of Boston. The wedding will be an event of late October,” It read. “Jim Carewe engaged!” Gloria cried aloud. “Why, did you ever hear of such a thing! And who’s the girl, for goodness sake?” May looked up at her with wet, red-rimmed eyes. "She’s a little cousin of Myra Gail’s,” she said. "A young thing just graduated from school this month. She can’t be more than 20 . . . and Jim’s 36, if he’s a minute! Talk about cradle robbing. ...” Gloria shook her head slowly. "But May," she said, "You never cared a snap of your finger about Jim. I’ve heard you say so a hundred times. It was always Jim who was wild about you.” "I know it,” May answered, "But Jim’s like all men. He wants to be respectable. He’d never marry me In a million years since this . . . this scandal about John's.... suicide.” She pressed her handkerchief hard against her lips for a moment. Then she went on bravely: “This girl can give Jim just what he wants. Respectability, a houseful of friends, yoi®h . . . everything clean and new and shining. Perhaps he still does care for me, but he's not going to marry a scandal! He's too selfish to do a thing like that! He thinks too much of himself.” She took off her black hat and tossed it down on the hall table. “You haven’t any coffee on the stove, have you?” she asked. "I haven’t had any breakfast.” “I haven’t had any, either,” Gloria answered. “Come out Into the kitchen. I won’t promise to cook any thing for you. But Dick left some coffee on the stove, and there’s jelly and rolls.” • * • S'"""”"] HE stopped and looked hard at May for a minute. “Well,” she said. "I guess we’re both out of luck, by deal-. I’m leaving Dick this morning. We’ve agreed to disagrdb. And I’m going back home to my people.” They stood there looking at each other with empty eyes. Neither had a word to say. It flashed through Gloria's mind that they were like moths dancing around a light. They had flown too close to danger and had had their wings singed and broken. . . . But Stanley Wayburn and Jim Carewe were safe enough! One married, the other engaged to be married! They had escaped. Men always did. It was the woman who took all the slurs, the snubs, and the pain. The man went scot-free from one love affair to another. . . . "Gloria,” May said suddenly. "Let’s get out of this town! Let’s go away where nobody knows us, and start over again. . . But Gloria shook her head. "No,” she said, “I tried that once . . . The time I went to New York. And I almost died from homesickness. I ... I wanted Dick.” May stared at her. “Well, you poor little fish, why are you leaving him, then?” she asked, "If you care anything about him?” "It’s Dick who wants me to go,” Gloria answered. "lie . . . he’s through with me.” "Oh, you’re crazy,” May answered. "You might tell that to some people, and get away with it! But I know Dick Gregory . . . and he’s In love with you, and always has been!” * * * A'"“ FTER May had gone Gloria thought over what she had ■ said. Was it possible that Dick still loved her? No, May was wrong. Dick couldn’t love here any more or he wouldn’t let her go this way, would he? All morning as she made the beds and washed the dishes Gloria listened tensely for the phone to ring. ....There was just a bare chance that Dick -would call her from the ACID STOMACH!!

And beside him was Susan Briggs

office to ask her not to go away from him. ....But no, Susan Briggs was at the office. And Dick was completely under jher sway. He was probably not even thinking about his wife at home. His wife, packing her trunks to leave his house forever! Hadn’t Dick said that Miss Briggs was the one person in the world who gave him sympathy and understanding? A man didn’t talk that way about a woman unless he was in love with her, Gloria told herself dejectedly. She locked her trunks and presently the expressman came for them. There was nothing more to do. ... .No excuse for staying. And still Gloria * lingered In the house that had been the House of Dreams for her and Dick.... House of Dreams?... .Heartbreak House was more like it! Gloria laid the key to the front door down on the hall table where Dick would be sure to find It. She picked up her little handbag and went out. The door closed behind her. It closed on a chapter of her life * * * SHE Sunday after Gloria's return to her father’s house. Aunt Dorcas came to dinner. She brought Uncle Henry along with her.... a small, silent man. He had been married to Aunt Dorcas for twenty-four years. And he showed it. “I told you that Glory had left her husband, didn’t I, Henry?” Aunt Dorcas asked between bites of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. Uncle Henry made a tired sound in his throat. “And a very good thing it was, too,” Aunt Dorcas went on. "Avery good thing!” Gloria raised her eyes to her aunt’s large, florid face. "Why is it a good thing for a woman to leave her husband?” she asked. "That’s not what I said,” Aunt Dorcas answered, sharply. “But in your case it was. When a girl.... a poor girl marries the son of rich parents, and they treat her as the Gregorys treated you, the best thing she can do is to clear out!” Gloria looked down at her plate. "They've been very nice to me.. . .both Father and Mother Gregory,” she said. "They gave us the money for our honeymoon, you know. And Mother Gregory gave, us the family silver for a wedding present.” Aunt Dorcas raised one hand like a traffic policeman. "A-aah!” she cried, “but that was for their son! ....What did they ever do for you? ....Did old lyirs. Gregory ever give a party to introduce you to all their Puzzle a Day One of the Woolworth heiresses was robbed of $750,000 worth of jewels. The thief left the gems in New York and then traveled through the country shown on the map, until he finally landed in Buffalo, N. Y. The strangest thing about It was that although he passed through every city once, he did not travel over any one road more than once. For your convenience the towns between New York and Buffalo are numbered. Can you trace the burglar’s path? Last puzzle answer: The father of Mr. Aldrich was 76 years old at the time of his son’s birth (87 years—ll years). When Aldrich junior was 19 years old, Aldrich senior was 76 years older or 95, five times his son’s age. Aldrich senior would have to have lived to the ripe old age of 114 years to be three times as old as his son, who would then be 38 years old (38 plus 76 years fftuals 114 years).

hlgh-and-mighty friends? Not she! She left you right out in the cold, as far as I can see!” Aunt Dorcas folded her hands on her magnificent chest, and looked around, daring anyone to deny what she had said. No one did. The meal came to an end at last. Gloria followed her father and Uncle Henry out on to the front porch, leaving her mother and aunt to clear away the dishes. There were times when she couldn't stand Aunt Dorcas In large doses.... Today was one of them. • • • S r ~~~“ HE sat down on the front steps, and looked through the t——i Sunday paper. Suddenly the photograph of a house In the advertising section caught her eye. It looked like their house... .Dick’s and hers. It was their house! “Owner must sell,” read the outline beneath the picture. "Six-room house, with finished attic. Everything in good condition. Good terms If buyer takes furniture. Call Mr. Gregory, Consolidated Bldg.” So Dick was going to sell the furniture, too! Everything that had been theirs... .the friendly yellow lamp in the living room, the cunning white kitchen table, the gold-colored Chinese rug that had lain like sunlight on the floor of the dining room.

G-loria Sees Dick and Susan Briggs on the Street Together.

"I suppose he’ll sell even the little red smoking-stand I gave him for Christmas,” Gloria thought miserably, “and my little tea-wagon!” The little tea-wagon had been the pride of Gloria’s heart. It had looked so homey with its blue tea cups, and the little silver teapot that had been Dick’s grandmother's. "I think I'll telephone Dick and ask him for that little tea-wagon,” she made up her mind that night, as she lay In bed. But when the morning came she did not telephone. She decided to go to Dick's office to ask him for the tea-wagon. She didn’t know why ....but she wanted to see him! She wanted terribly to see him again. * * 1 HE 1 spent two hours bathing herself, brushing her hair, making herself lovely for Dick's eyes. Her beauty was her only weapon against Miss Briggs. She must keep it bright and shining! "Thanks goodness, I’m still young!” she though. “Years younger than Miss Briggs, who must be at least thirty. “After a while I shall be thirty, and call myself twenty-nine,” Gloria said to herself, "But I’ll bet I won’t look like Sue Briggs! So long as there’s a grain of powder or an Inch of lipstick left in the world, I’ll have it, by jinks!” Her heart was light as she hurried down the street to the street car line. She hummed happily, as women do when they are going to meet the man they love But did she love Dick? She didn't know. She knew only that in a few minutes she would be seeing him again. That was enough. ....She had hardly stepped from the street car when she did see him. He was not ten feet away from her, walking along the pavement. And beside him, looking up into his eyes, was Susan Briggs! (To Be Continued)
