GLORIA
THE STORY SO FAR 4Sloria Gordon, beautiful flapper, marf(are Diek Grt-gory. a struggling lawyer. Her idea of marriage is fun and fine clothes . . . but no work or children. She refuses to do her own housework, and hires a maid. But Dick has to let the maid go. For Gloria has swamped him with debts for her clothes and a new automobile. She becomes infatuated with an actor, Stanley Wayburn and follows lnm to New York. But he spurns her. Then she tries to get a iob as a chorus girl and fails. Discouraged, she comes home to Dick. He takes her back, but not as his wife. , , , Gloria begins to suspect that he is in love with his secretary, Susan Briggs. When he works late she accuses him of being out with Miss Briggs. And the breach between the two widens daily. Finally Gloria makes up her mind to be a good wife to Dick. She tries to cook, and to keep the house dean. But she does a poor iob. Then she insists that Dick discharge Miss Brggs, and When he refuses, she leaves him. She goes back to her fathers home, but is very lonely and unhappy. One day she visits her own house and puts fresh flowers in the vases, and cleans Dipk s smoking stand. , , . That night when she goes home her mother gives her a letter from Dick. In it is a check for soo. Gloria decides that she won't take money from Dell, but will go to work. She goes to Dick s office with the money'. (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) By Beatrice Burton CHAPTER' LXII 1 LORIA turned then, and G looked straight at Miss Briggs. “I waijt to talk to my iiusband. Will you please leave us alone?” she asked coldly. The secretary did not meet Gloria’s eyes. But she walked slowly out of the office. The door closed behind her. Gloria opened her handbag and laid the check Diek had sent her, down upon his desk. ‘‘There's your money, I’ve brought, it back to you,” she said. “I don’t want anything from you, Dick.” She raised her questioning eyes to his face. “What was the big idea in sending It to me?” she asked. Under her eyes, Dick flushed darkly. Gloria could see that he was embarrassed. “I thought you understood that 1 was going to take care of you,” he said. “I told you that if you lived with your folks, I’d see that you had plenty of money. . . .I’ll send you SSO every week, just as I said I would.” Gloria shook her head. "No,, you won’t,” she contradicted, “because I shan’t take it. I’m going back to work this morning. I’ll earn my own money. ... So you can keep yours to pay off some of the debts I piled up for you!” She couldn’t resist saying that. The memory of Dick’s sermons about debts was still a thorn in her liesh. “I’ll send you a check for SSO every week, just as I said I would,” Dick repeated firmly. “So long as you’re my wife, I’m going to support you. And I don’t want you to work in some office with a lot of men. . .” Gloria interrupted him with a laugh. “I’m not your wife ary more,” she cried. “The law may say I am, and you may say so! But I’m not!” Her face was -white, and hard with rebellion. “And another thing . . . I’ll work anywhere T please! And it'll take more than you to stop me!" she added. Dick was speechless. As he stood there looking at her, without a word to say, she began to cry. * * * SEARS reddened her eyes and coursed down through the rouge that was thick on her cheeks. Her mouth trembled. "Dick,” she began huskily, “I’ve 1 been so lonesome. And 100 k....” She held out her hands to show him the burns and cuts on them. “See, I’ve been trying to cook,” she sobbed. “Dick please let me go home again. ... I can’t stand being away from you. I can’t stand it!" Her voice rose on a high note of hysteria. “Sssh!” Dick hissed, frowning. “Be careful or Miss Briggs will hear you! Hush!” Gloria sank down on the floor and laid her head on the seat of Dick’s swivel chair. “What do I care if she hears me or not!” she said thickly. "All I care about is getting home, again!” “Please, please don’t treat me like this,” she sobbed. Dick lifted her to her feet. "For Lord’s sake, get up!” he said sharply. “And don’t come here again, until you can control yourself, Glory! ... .What are you trying to do? Put on a one-act play for Miss Briggs' benefit?” His sharpness brought Gloria to her senses. She stood up and dried her eyes. "All you think about is Miss Briggs, isn’t it?" she asked, choking. “And what is she, anyway! Nothing but a little old maid!....l wouldn’t care so much if I’d lost you to a raving, tearing beauty ” Her voice broke again.
BEWARE THE COUGH OR COLD THAT HANGS ON Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulslon, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is anew medical discovery with two fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Os all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulslon contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. \ Creomulslon is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist. Creomulslon Company, Atlanta. Ua —Advertisement.
| |HE almost ran out of the of--5 I flcc--1 I The women’s dressing-room was on the floor below. Gloria hurried down to It. Two pretty office girls were there, chatting as they combed out their fluffy bobbed hair, as they rouged their lips.... preparing for the morning's labor. They looked at Gloria’s tearstained faced curiously, as she came.in. She bathed her red eyes and hot cheeks with icy water. Then she carefully powdered her face, added a touch of color to her cheeks. In the mirror she could see the two girls looking at the expensive bead bag and gold vanity case she had laid on the marble shelf below the mirror. “Don’t envy me,” she wanted to say to them. “I’m just a working girl like you are. Only I’m out of a job.” Out in the street the sun was high, and shining with a white, blistering glare. It was 10 o’clock. The army of office girls had disappeared ‘ from the street.... and those other workers... .the home women, were abroad in their crisp wash dresses and white shoes. “I was one of them once,” Gloria thought regretfully. “But I didn't know my luck when I had it!” ....She was furious with herself for going to Dick’s office. “I suppose it tickled Briggs to death when I came out, crying!” she said to herself between clenched teeth. Then, with her chin up and her head held high, she went into the real estate office of Forbes, Forgan 6 Fargo. She found her knees trembling, and her breath coming fast with nervousness as she followed an office boy into the presence of Ulysses X. Forgan.
* * * ~—|*E was a man growing elderly. I—l Rather sparse brown hair * * streaked with gray, two hard brown eyes with pockets of wrinkles under them, a high nose, and a mouth like the slot in a gum machine... .that was Ulysses X. Forgan. He had a mind like an addingmachine. He seldom thought of anything but figures. They were to him what talk and laughter were to other men. The one quality he had that made him human was his love of beauty. ....He loved it in the impersonal way that the Greeks worshiped it. And Gloria with her amber eyes, and tremulous mouth was beautiful that morning. Ulysses X. Forgan looked at her as he might have looked at a painting in a museum. He hired her. “Worth looking at even if she can’t typewrite,” he said to himself. “And she probably can’t. The good lookers are all dumbbells.” But as the days went by, he realized that Gloria knew her business. And she began to study his. She would slip just the paper he happened to be looking for under his nose just when he wanted it. “I may have been a failure as a wife,” she told herself Saturday, when she took her pay envelope from the cashier, “but I’ve always been a crackerjack business woman! .... Maybe it’s the thing I was cut out for, after all!” She had a vision of herself in the coming years, growing large and sharp-eyed and efficient... .a successful business woman with nothing to live for but a job! It was a gray and dreary outlook .... When she went home that afternoon she took a leisurely bath and curled up on her bed for a nap. It was 6 o’clock when she awoke. Her hair was damp with perspiration and it curled around her ears and forehead. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were starry as a baby’s when it wakens from its afternoon sleep. She looked in the glass.... No, she wasn’t the type of woman to be unmarried, to live alone. She was too beautiful for that. ... .Down in the kitchen she could hear her mother at work, getting supper. She dressed herself in a gingham house frock and went down to help her with the meal. * t * G - GORIA rlioed the cold veal loaf and quartered lemons for the i__J pitcher of iced tea.

I’m getting to be some housewife, eh what?” She laughed brightly. But her thoughts were anything but cheerful This was Saturday night. Carnival for everybody!... .The end of the

Here is a pictorial problem. To solve this puzzle simply add and subtract the articles in the order they are shown in the Illustration. AVhen you have finished Vou should not have a numerical sum. but a sum of letters, which should spell a seasonable name. Can you discover the answer? Last puzzle aanswer: Seventy-two can be divided into four parts; from the first two can be subtracted (18 minus 2 equals 16): to the second two can be added (14 plus 2 equals 16): the third can be divided by two (31 divided by 2 equals 16): the fourth can be multiplied by two (8 times 2 equals 16); in each case the answer is the same; or you can add two to the last part (8 plus 2 equal 10) getting the number of manufacturers turning out the greater part of the cars (18 plus 14 plus 32 plus 8 equals 72).
THE FLAPPER WIFE
long week’s work.!.. All over America girls were waving their hair, and dressing themselves In th?ir best bib and tucker to go out “stepping.” Wives were hurrying with the supper dishes, so that they might not make their families late for the “movies.” Everybody, everywhere, had something special to do. “Everybody but me,” Gloria said to herself, as she sat out in the porch swing, after supper. She stared out into the gathering dusk. The stars were coming out, like polished pin points in the sky above the tree tops. A Ford car drove up before the house next door, and a man jumped out and ran up the steps. Gloria heard a screen door slam. . . . Presently he came out again, with the girl who lived there . . . little Peggy Quin. “My stars! She can’t be more than 16 . . . and having a beau already!” Gloria exclaimed to herself. “But then, that’s not so bad, when I'm only 21, apd married and —” She stopped suddenly. She had almost said “divorced." With a pang of loneliness, she listened to Peggy Quin’s gay voice, as she climbed into the little car and took her seat there. It chugged away down the street. . . . Then her mother and father came out of the house. They were going out to do their regular Saturady night marketing. “Better come along,” Mr. Gordon advised her. "We’ll probably wind up at a movie. We 'most always do." But Gloria shook her head. “No JOANNA says: Any woman knows what another woman thinks about a man. Read Joanna’s story, starting in The Times Nov. 3.
