Pavillions, pergolas, and stretches of polished dance floors bordered by great potted palms brought from Cannes were taking definite shape.

The Army this year will take baskets to more than 600 families. Donations will be accepted Major Sowers said. Call headquarters or send donations to 24 S. Capitol Ave.

CHURCH PLANS PAGEANT Baptists to Celebrate Hundredth Anniversary in City Next Spring. The Rev. P. J. Morris, Emerson Ave. Baptist Church pastor, has been named chairman of a committee to arrange a pageant celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of the denomination In Indianapolis next spring. Purchase of a piano for children’s building at Sunnyslde sanatorium was authorized by Federal Baptist Church directors. The board will cooperate with the Southern Ave. Baptist Church In raising $27,000 far a church on Southern Ave., overlooking Garfield Park.

Graceful columns, slender and carved into semblance to fairy spires rose in companies that, later, were to be hung with trailing green and hidden lights. Joanna and Brandon strolled through the lawns on their customary daily inspection. Workmen touched their caps to the Golden Girl with their curiosities shining in their eyeg. To them, she was of more interest than the preparations they were making for the fete of which the entire Riviera talked. For a one night's whim of this strange, restless girl, their hands erected an arbored bower to be covered, for this night, with choicest roses culled from the gardens of the Monegasques in the Condamine. The cost of the roses alone would equal far more than the year’s pay of any workman. Around a miniature lake a carpet of lemon wood was being laid, and for the surface of the water, that would be pumped into the lake a canopied bark such as Cleopatra might have envied w;is being hewed from cedars. This cost, too, would have sent the children of a family to school for a year, freed a household from its fear of old age poverty, dowered a daughter or erected a home for a son and hie bride. But the bower would do Its service for a night, provide nothing more perhaps, than a fragrant screen for a stolen caress, and then, on the morrow, be contemptuously demolished. The workmen at Villa Amette tried vainely each day, to fit the stupendous folly Into the fresh and

THE iJS DiAN AUOLiiS TIMES

THE STOR Y OF A MODERN GIRL AND A MILLION DOLLARS

lovely youth of the girl who walked among them each morning and thanked them prettily when they touched their caps for the progress they had made. Older ones among them and those who were more thoughtful, glanced from the Golden Girl to Brandon, who walked with her. Sometimes their faces darkened ind they muttered to themselves. For, after all, was it not Brandon, who urged them, with his ironic smile playing at his lips, to spare no expense? Was it not Brandon, rather than the Golden Girl? • • * | jTIRANDON and the girl stood I D I on a knoll that* the landscape I I gardeners had left on the ‘hillside, and surveyed the scene that spread out before them. “Whatever celebrity has been withheld from you,” Brandon observed, “will come to you after the echoes of this have reached from Nice to Genoa, and to Paris Itself, Amette has provided some splendid gaieties in its history: you are promising to outshine them all.” Joanna did not reply. Brandon looked dow,n at her. She stood close to him, and he saw that her glance was roving over the grounds mechanically. He noted that there was little of the accustomed light of eagerness in her face. Joanna had not laughed or smiled as. much or as often since John’s arrival In the vicinities of Villa Amette. She had been gayer, If anything: more reckless, more persistent in her whimsical escapades. But Brandon, who studied her, sensed a shallowness in her merriments. “It will be said of me,” she murmured, at last, “that I will have earned Indeed the name they have given me, Golden Girl, won’t It?” “No one doubts your right to that admiring designation now,” he assured her. “Yet, until now, you haven’t been so careless of the fortune that was entrusted to you, as is generally believed. Isn’t that right?” She shot him a quick, almost startled glance, and then fell again to calmly examining the Amette vistas of groves and gardens peopled with noisy workmen. “You would not expect me ever to admit that I had been careless, would you?" she asked, quietly. "I have done as we planned

OUT OUR WAY—By WILLIAMS

I should, as you and Yvonne and i planned after Graydon and Mr. Eggleston refused to help me with their advice. I have bought, whatever seemed good to buy. That is all.” “You have been spared big jewelers' bills, I must admit,” Brandon remarked, dryly. “Kenilworth, Michael, Dor-mister—even I. have gathered a great deal of happiness in finding for you the ornaments you like.” “And when,” she asked, softly, but very clearly, “are you going to exact your toll—or demand it?” She didn't look up at him, nor move. For an instant Brandon was uncertain as to whether she had mocked him, defied him, or merely teased him. “That is an unpleasant sentiment,” he said. “I, at least, of all your conquests, have asked nothing of you. I shall, of course, ask much, but not too much. And, 1 promise, I shall accept your gift, whatever It may be. You remember I promised that, a long time ago-” “And have bided your time. Why?” “I have been waiting, more or less patiently, until you had found yourself. You see I preferred not to take unfair advantage of you. Others have, I believe.’* *• • • TOW she smiled up at him, but wistfully. “You must u__J have had great patience, waiting!” she exolaimed. “It has been terribly hard for me to find — me! Hasn't It? And the worst of it is, I’m still hunting.” He waited for her to acknowledge his concluding words—that he would not, as he thought others had, take advantage of her. But she Ignored that. Before he was ready to speak, she touched his arm and then waved her hand, like a princess bounding her domain, taking in the whole expanse of the Amette acres. “Perhaps I’ll find something here, when the lights are lit and the roses hung, and the people have come. Or, perhaps, you will. Who knows?” Suddenly she was serious. “It will cost enough," she added, "at any rate. Yvonne and I went over the estimates this morning. Mr. Eggleston will be shocked when the bills reach him. More than a hundred

thousand dollars, I'm sure. You have made me be very extravagant you know.” “Whatever you do, must be done well,” he retorted. “Isn’t that a befitting ambition? I have understood, you see, that you look upon your money as a means to excitement. You will have It, when your fete is In full swing, and the memory of it will be just as exhilarating. Why should one bother wi .h costs?” “Why, indeed?” she agreed, briefly. They walked across to the Trianon summer house, skirted It, and came to the most pretentious of -all the temporary structures being erected on the estate. Around an open space the slender columns of wood that had been especially made were being set so close to form an almost unbroken wall like the pillars closing In the nave In some great outdoor temple. The columns stood In two rows, forming a continuous pergola over a wide path that completely skirted the enclosure. Inside the columns gardeners were busy grading the lawn so that it sloped gently, as a theater auditorium, to a broad stage that had been raised on short pillars, fixed like piles, into the ground. Over all the workmen were hanging a latticed canopy of trellis. For whatever entertainment was planned for the spacious stage around which wings and curtain frames were being placed fully 300 spectators might sit comfortably between the pergola walks. For that many folding chairs were already piled under a canvas blanket near by. • • • l _Tj HEN they stood between the YfJ pillars and saw that this structure was further advanced than any of the other preparations, Brandon asked: “You still lnsist'upon keeping this part of your program a secret?” “Yes,” she replied: “You shan't know anything about this, or what I'm going to do here, until you come in under the blossom laden roof and take your seats. I'm having great fun planning my little surprise.” "Am I forbidden to speculate?” "You are not, but you will be unsuccessful.

things other tenants of Amette have done to make their fetes remembered. I know about them all, from the feast presided over by the Indian rajah who presented his chosen lady the carpet of diamonds that was Nourmahal’s nuptial rug, to the Moor who made a lake and had his servants suddenly throw all the women Into it. I want to excel them both. There must be something startling by which to remember the Golden Girl’s fete.” she brushed his arm with her fingers. . “Mustn’t there be?” she asked. He would have made his speculations and sought some hint of the mystery which was to be revealed upon the open air stage, but he was suddenly conscious of a stiffening of the slender body that stood close to him. He followed Joanna’s gaze and saw two figures crossing the terrace which faced the Trianon. John, in flannels and blue, his strong, well set form bearing its new poise of easy confidence, stood for a moment with Yvonne at the top of the terrace steps between two stone images. Yvonne was very youthful and beautiful In the orchid tones she affected for tennis and golf. The single golf stick John carried was evidence that they had come in from a round of holes over the little Amette fairway that stretched across the ravines and flat spaces of Cap Martin. Brandon saw that Yvonne looked often Into the face of the man beside her; and that she rested her hand on nis sleeve, and fluttered it about his wrist. And he saw, too, that Joanna watched, and that the marks of. her teeth were redder than the flesh red of her lips. Brandon reached down and found Joanna’s hand. He gave her fingers a gentle pressure. As If something startled it, her body relaxed. Aud as if jihe were announcing the conclusion of some very deep considerations, she said: “I have decided to have the trellis roof that will b® over the crowd when It gathers here for my little surprise, made with. Mimosa blossoms. 1 must have them gathered. It will take a great many.” “Have you chosen them?” Brandon asked, softly, “because you like their heavy, intoxicating perfume, or because they reveal so many colors,

and in their form are snake-Uke?" She waited a moment and then said. Irrelevantly It seemed: “The perfumes of Mimosa either steal one’s senses or lull them. They seem to match so many people.” They went toward the house, but stopped at a bench under a natural arbor that enclosed a tiny garden. Brandon gently urged her onto the bench and sat beside her. “I have been too close to you,” he said, “to fear that you will be offended with me when I ask you to drop your barriers low enough for us to talk across them—of young Wilmore, and his strange fascination for Yvonne.” - She stiffened immediately and attempted to riso. Brandon caught her and brought her down beside him again. "I fancy she is only repaying me,” she breathed, her glance probing the flowers at her feet. “It is said that I have stolen all her courtiers, you know. I haven’t tried to, but I suppose I have. You have all wanted me to take you from her. it seems. And I’ve wondered why. Now it is only fair that she should do the thing that, to her, must seem retaliation.” "It Is retaliation, isn’t it? She is taking from you the one you'd rather not lose?” She turned her eyes full into his. There was much of bitterness in her tone, when she answered him, and much of earnestness, too. “I am not at all sure of that. I don’t think I am glad that John came flown to the Riviera, bu! now that he has come, and I have seen him and he has seed me, again I am not very deeply concerned about him. You wanted to know Just how I feel—that was your real question. Well I haven’t stayed awake a single hour because Yvonne has taken a fancy to John and he is making a silly fool of himself.” She was silent for a time, while Brandon watched her quietly. Joanna always added something to whatever she was serious about. As he expected it came, suddenly. “He never did know very much about a girl. It will do him good to learti all that Yvonne can teach him.”
