THE SEQUEL TO SONIA

BEGIN HERE TODAY -...50N1A, the young wife of Dr. Don Stillwater, became jealous of her husband when she inadvertently learns that he formerly was engaged to— ELAINE WALLACE, stylish wife of SUMwater a partner. DR. ROBERT WALThrough 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 restaiuant in San Francisco for dinner. Later she soliloquizes on the fact he was engaged to another before their marriage. . 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 receives no satisfaction from Wallace, who tries to flirt with her. She runs across Stillwater and Elaine Wallace in a restaurant later and is Ailed with conflicting emotions. One 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 hv Elaine. Later at the Wallaces’ Elaine accuses Sonia of calling her husband by phone and then denying it. Sonia receives a letter from Franklin Crane, saying he is coming to Sail Francisco. Sonia fears Don's love for her is waning and decides to leave home to live with Jinny ot 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. A young salesman, Stephen Sessengcr. in the office of Jed Thomas, is interested in Sonia. Franklin Crane finds Sonia back at work. He waits for her at noon, and reminds her of the past. Sonia meets Don while out walking with Stephen. The pained look about his eyes was too much for her and everything around her seemed to tremble. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXIII Sonia opened her eyes to Stephen’s disturbed face. A crowd was gathering. “Don’t try to get up. Keep your head down.” He suggested that he carry her Inside. But she objected. “I’ll be all right now." When she attempted to rise, the world whirled away from her. Stephen assisted her into a shop. The impassive owner offered a chair. “If you’ll order a taxi,” she said. “I think I’d better go home.” She was embarrassed and humiliated at her weakness. In the taxi she apologized, “I don’t know why I was so silly. I’ve only fainted once before in my life. It's ruined our evening.” “Don't feel badly about that. We’ll have another one.” She started to tell him she knew how men disliked girls who collapsed publicly, but she hadn’t the necessary energy. Instead, she leaned her head against the back of the seat and closed her eyes. When they reached the apartrjfient she insisted on going in, alone. Bob and Jinny were obviously surprised. “Why Sonia • . “I know,” she said, wearily, "I’m not supposed to come yet, but I fainted. Can’t I close the door and go to bed?” “Os course you can.” Bob asked, professionally, “What’s the trouble, Sonia? Better let me take a look at you.” “You leave me alone,” she retorted Irritably. He followed her into the bedroom where Jinny was turning down the spread. “People don’t faint without a reason, you know.” “I’m tired. That’s all.” She knew her face was colorless. Tears were in her eyes. If he argued with her she was afraid she would scream. “Bob, won’t you please leave me alone? I’ll be all right if I can get to bed.” There was a strange look on his face as he obeyed. But she was too exhausted to worry about aything now. Even Don!—She sank into immediate, heavy, oblivion. “Sonia, you aren't going to work today?” "Certainly nm.” “Bob said tell you to take the day off.” “I’m not taking orders from Dr. Wallace,” Sonia replied, pertly. Although she felt enervated and weak, the prospect of a day, in the gloomy apartment was intolerable. Towards noon Jinny was sum moned to the telephone. She stopped at Sonia's desk on her return. “Dr. SMllwater wants tne to stop in the office this noon.” Sonia said nothing. Two spots of color flamed in her cheeks. “You don’t suppose Bob told him about last night?” “I don't suppose anything,” Sonia, responded, stoutly. She could scarcely wait to know what Don had wanted. But Jinny returned, incommunicative. Hum ming as she went about the business of powdering her nose. And Sonia, conscious of her cavalier reception of the morning's news, dared not ask questions. The dax dragged to a close eventually. Jinny announced that she was staying down town. Sonia found herself alone in the apartment at 8 o’clock. She wondered if life would ever seem worth the effort of living. . . . There was a knock and the door was pushed open. “Don!” In spite of herself there was unrestrained joy In that cry.

1 “I’m sorry to intrude on you, Sonia, but L. feel it is necessary.” Her heart sank. For one mad moment she had thought he intended to take her in his arms. Much subdued, she asked him to be seated. IJe refused. “What’s this about your fainting on the street last night?” “Who told you?” “Bob said he stopped In and found you 111. When did it happen?” “I really don’t remember.” “Where were you?” Color crept into her face as she replied, “It doesn't matter where I was. It doesn't even matter that 1 fainted.” “It matters a great deal.” he said, quietly, “because it indicates that there is something wrong. If you aren’t well you should consult a physician.” Tears were filling her eyes again. She was becoming a regular "cry baby.” Don put his hand awkwardly upon her shoulder. “Won't you tell me, Sonia? Is there anything the matter with you?” “What could be the matter?” He forced her to face him. “I'm asking you to tell me.” Then she realized the import of his question. “Your mother's been talking about me,”, she cried, furiously. “Mother has, had nothing to do with it.” She said flatly, “Well, you may rest assured it isn’t THAT.” He sighed and took his hat from the chair. “Speaking purely as a physician, I advise you to rest for a while. I’m sure Uncle Jed will let you go for a week. Run down to Green Springs or some place. I deposited some money to your account at the bank and I shall continue to do so. Whether you use it or not. He was going. Leaving her to the unspeakable monotony of life without him. “Oh, Don ” He paused. If he would only put his arms about her and say he loved her! Just that!—She could forget his previous coldness, could forgive him anything, if only he wanted her again. The despair in her eyes should have melted a heart of stone. But Don kept his distance, repeating his question. “Did you wish to say something?” “It's only that I can’t stand to see you go. . .

“Not worth while to flirt with your own husband, i3 it, Sonia?” “I’m not flirting,” she flared. “Oh. you are so cruel to me, Don. I used to think you were the kindest man I had ever known, but all you do now is to hurt me.” His face whitened under her attack. “What do you mean?” I’ve never hurt you in your life.” "You have. You hurt me unbearably.” His voice was deliberately restrained as he replied. “I’m afraid your nervous system is getting the better of your common sense. Better pull yourself together, Sonia, before it Is too late.” The scientific aloofness of his expression made her blood congeal. “You can’t work all day and dance all night,” he continued, kindly. “Try to use some judgment In your dissipation.” The word roused her. “What do you mean, disslpat'on? j I haven’t been anywhere since I j came except to a movie.” ■■ “Is that what you told Elaine?” j COLDS THAT DEVELOP INTO PNEUMONIA Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble.

“Has Elaine been telling tales on me? Because I won’t stand for her lying.” Her voice rose so high she was forced to stop. She felt nauseated with anger. If Elaine Wallace dared to lie about her ‘‘l shouldn't have mentioned it,” he said stiffly. "What did she say?” He refused to answer. “All right. Then I’ll go to Iter niyself and force her to tell me.” “I wouldn’t do that if I were you. It was nothing you wouldn't have said to my face.” “But I want to know . . .” , He said, reluctantly, “Merely that what we did no longer concerned each other.” “Go on.” “That’s about all. She said you seemed to be feeling the effects of your gay life.” Sh caught at the back of a chair, forcing herself to say quietly, “Elaine wins. I did say that what you did no longer concerned me.” “That’s what I thought.” “But I didn’t say anything about my gay life, Dor., because really I never do anything.” He said indifferently, “It rather looked as if you were doing something last night.” (To be Continued)
