THE SEQUEL TO SONIA By Vida Hurst

BEGIN HERE TODAY SONIA, the young wife of Dr. Don Stillwater, became jealous of her husband when she inadvertently learns that he formerly was engaged to— ELAINIi WALLACE, stylish wife of Stillwater's partner. DR. ROBERT WALLACE. Through ESTHER LANE, stenographer in the office, Sonia also learns that Dr. Wallace is somewhat of a flirt, and attracts many of his women patients. DR. STILLWATER takes Sonia to a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco for dinner. Later she soliloquizes on the fact he was engaged to another betore their marraige. , ~ , SONIA fears the Wallaces may have heard about her affair with FRANKLIN CRANE, before she was married. Sonia thinks Don is ill. because he is not looking well, and calls on Dr. Wallace for advice. She twelves no satisfaction from Wallace who tries to flirt with her. She runs across Stillwater and Elaine Wallace in a restaurant later and is filled with conflicting emotions. On the night of their wedding anniversary. Elaine phones, calling Don away as they are about to go out and celebrate. He returns with a gift picked out bv Elaine. Later at the Wallace. Elaine accuses Sonia of calling her husband by phone and then denying it. Sonia receives a letter from Franklin Crane, an old sweetheart, saying lie is doming to San Francisco. Sonia fears Don's love for her is waning and decides to leave home to live with Jinny of Jed Thomas office. Sonia refuses any financial assistance from Don. . . . . , ... Jinny tells her she is in love with A married man who proves to be Dr. Wallace. The young salesman in the office shows an interest in Sonia, NOW GO ON WITH THE STOK\ CHAPTER XX "I have been awfully lonely since I came to San Francisco,” said Stephen Sessenger. “I have wished for weeks that I might know a really interesting girl. One morning I see one walk past my desk, like the queen of Sheba, I tell myself there she is, and then I discover the lady is married. Just my luck:” It was so long since any man had said gay nothings to her! Sonia would have been less than human not to have appreciated it, but she answered, sensibly. ‘‘Oh, but the bookkeeping department is full of interesting girls who would love to be nice to you.” When he smiled she decided there was a certain ingenuous charm about him. ‘‘Mrs. Stillwater—you see I know your name—l do not crave flappers. I like girls that have at least faint glimmerings of common sense.”

She replied that she was flattered if not he meant to imply that she showed such glimmerings. People had doubted it. They walked down the avenue apparently finding mutual pleasure in the conversation. He confessed that lie was homesick. There had been a girl In Seattle. “W'e used to dance together a lot,” he confessed'. ‘‘l miss her, although we were not engaged or anything.” Although in the matter of actual years, he possessed more than she, lie made Sonia feel wise and gracious. Perhaps he seemed to see those qualities in her. She began to consider his possibilities for Jinny. When they reached the real estate office he said, “See you again sometime,” with a half-shy enthusiasm which won her approval. He was rather attractive and he was not married. At last she had something to Impart to the group in the dressing room. But she knew she would not tell the girls what she had discovered. Let them find it out for themselves. They enjoyed their amateur sleuthing. ... As she removed her hat she saw for the first time since she had left Don her eyes had lost their strained look. Twenty minutes’ light conversation with a member of the opposite sex had removed the lines from her face. Elaine could not have said she looked “seedy” now. . . . Jinny had followed her into the dressing room. “Come here,” she whispered, “Want to tell you something." They stood by the window apart from the other girls. “I went to Bob s office this noon and when I came out I saw your husband. He looked so down-hearted I wanted to cry.” Sonia’s face went white. “Now, wait a minute, that isn’t all I want to say. He asked me to come in his bffice for a few minutes. Sonia, I know he wondered why I had come to see Bob. Do you suppose he suspects anything?” “No. Don is not suspicious.” The thought of his kind, tired face was like a knife in her heaj-t. “My dear,” Jinny continued, “what do you suppose he wanted? ‘ls Sonia well?' he asked. ‘Does she seem happier?’ ” 1 Sonia swallowed the lump in her throat. She could not speak. "I told him that you seemed well, and I thought maybe you were happier than you had been at first. Was that all right?” Sonia nodded. "He was as white as a sheet. He stood looking out of his window for :V little while, then he said, ‘Jinny, I want you to promise to tell me if she needs anything.’ ” Feeling that she could not endure any more, Sonia turned away. “Don’t be angry. If you could have seen the way he looked. I’d have promised him anything.” “I’m not angry. It’s all right. You just don’t understand, that’s all.” “I think,” Jinny said, sternly, “that you are the one who doesn’t understand. You poor, blind, little fool!” She turned and ran from the dressing room. Sonia continued to stand by the window, staring at the building opposite. Jinny’s words had plunged her back "into desp.air. She could see Don as if he stood before her. And she thought her absence nfftald be a relief to him! Would bring him peace of ihind. . . . There was no possible place she could go to cry. One could not stand in the dressing room and shed tears. It wasn’t done. A girl might flop on the faded wicker couch and cry because she had the headache. She might indulge in a brainstorm over the injustice of her employers. Even conceivably weep a few romantic tears over a hopeless love affair. But no married woman, particularly one supposed happily married, would dare to cry within those four walls. Sonia swallowed her tears, powdered her nose, and proceeded to her bookkeeping. Two days later Stephen Sessenger made a trip to the balcony to look up a contract. He had no response for Violet’s “kidding,” but he stopped, boldly enough, at Sonia's desk to murmur, “Will you go to lunch with me, today? Please?” On the impulse of the moment shb accepted. Wondering afterward if it had been wise. Deciding, eventually, that he needed her friendship. It was little enough to give. He was unspoiled, and rather sweetly inexperienced. She would be only “motherly” and sympathetic. A dangerous attitude for any girl to adopt toward any man! They went to the hotel, where long ago she had lunched with Franklin. How different to sit across from this boy and listen to his "line.” Yes, he had one. There was no chance for a fellow to meet really nice girls in a city like San Francisco. He had no social acquaintances and he did not care for the girls in the office. They were all right. He wasn’t criticising them, you understand, but they just weren’t the type he was interested in.

What type was helnterested in? “Someone like you.” “Don't be obvious,” Sonia interrupted, smiling. “I think you and Jinny might like each other/ She isn’t like the rest of them. Why don't you come up some time and get acquainted?” “Come where?” It seemed necessary to explain that they were living together. She added, casually, “for the present.” Unmistakable bewilderment was in his eyes. “I see. Well, that’s awfully sweet of you. When may I come?” He talked to her of his plans for the future, of the good times he had enjoyed “back home,” of his sisters, and the girl in Seattle. She liked his chivalrous way of seeming to place her on a pedestal. It was He told her, her eyes were like “deep pools of jade.” She was having all the sensations of a “woman of thirty,” and felt it would be pleasant to rest a little in the warmth of this respectful, gentle, admiration. She was most unprepared for the criticism she received from her roommate. “Did you go to lunch with that kid?” “I did.” “Well, what's the idea?” “I don’t see why I shouldn’t. He’s harmless, and heaven knows I need a little diversion.” “Don’t waste your sweetness on the desert air,” Jinny commented, darkly. “In plain English, quit robbing the cradle, old thing.” “Don't be foolish,” Sonia answered. “He's older than lam Althouglvit wouldn’t make a par'.icle of difference if he weren’t. I’m not gunning for a boy friend, darling! I’m sorry for him. that’s all. He's lonely and so am I. I should think you of all people should be able to understand.” The fact that Jinny did not understany annoyed her. Later Jinnj confided that Bob seemed “crazier" about her. “I’ve Stayed away from him lately. Twice he has called and I’ve told him I couldn't come. Well, it seems to work. Men are the limit, aren't they? Sometimes I wonder if there’s any man in the world big enough to accept a woman's absolute surrender.” “No,” Sonia answered, bitterly... She had thought her life was unbearable because every day seemed the same. But when the peace of it was suddenly shattered, she could have prayed for that former emptiness. Looking up from her bookkeeping, with no warning whatever, she met the blue eyes of Franklin Crane. His face was brown from the sun, but thin and hungry looking. “Well, Sonia,” he said, nervously, “I did not expect to find you here.” (To Be Continued) DEATH SCENE IN ISSUE Man Admits Slaying Wom^in —In Which State Important. Bu United Press MAUSTON, Wis., Jan. 25.—Offieials of lowa and Wisconsin, dragging the Mississippi River for the body of Mrs. Hattie Hales, 53, whose murder was confessed yesterday by William Coffey, today debated whether Coffey faces a possible death sentence or life imprisonment. Coffey said he murdered Mrs. Hales, an attractive widow, with whom he had eloped, in Wisconsin. Authorities believe he may have killed the woman in lowa, and said Coffey may have placed the murder scene in Wisconsin because the Wisconsin law does not provide for a death penalty for murder, whereas lowa law dictates hanging.
