The SNOB

SYNOPSIS Nancy wai pretty, a GAGE, and a blue-blood even though she dlu live on the other side of the railroad tracks. So when Raymond Hollandsbee, member of one of the most exclusive families In town, and Nancy’s ardent suitor, departed for college with an understanding, Nancy's mother was pleased. But Nancy just couldn't help falling In love with handsome Eric Nelson, whom she had met at Edith Harcourt's, a rich school chum. She Is forced to tell Raymond of her change of heart when he returns home for the Christmas holidays Her mother Is displeased with her attachment for Eric. CHAPTER XIII Nancy asked Eric to bring his Another for tea on Sunday. Disregarding the sniffs of her own jnother, she lowe:*ed the shades and burned on the lights. She wanted the cheerful warmth hf her home to convey an affectionate welcome to Hilda Nelson. She had pictured her sad and careworn, apt to be embarrassed. The gas log }n the green, tiled fireplace did its humble best to create an “atmosphere.” Nancy cut thin slices of breed and gutter into the thinnest of sandwiches. She polished the silver Spoons* She explained to the disdainful Amanda that everything Jnust be "nice.” They came at 4 o’clock. Nancy held out both hands; then, fceeing Hilda’s hesitation, put her arms about the stiff little figure and kissed her on the cheek. She was amazed at the resistance that meek feody conveyed. With flushing cheeks and a feeling bt having committed an unpardonable error, Nancy introduced her Another. "How do you do!” said both wom|en together. Their glances were equally hostile, equally suspicious! Nancy pushed forward the easy chair. "Won’t you sit down?” "Thank you very much,” said Hilda Nelson. She sat on the edge of her chair, Unquestionably dowdy. Her back was rigid. Her features were regular, like Eric’s, but set in sadness. Both melancholy and resentment smoldered in her faded eyes- Beneath her shabby velvet hat, with its respectable feather sticking up straight, the gray, streaked hair !was drawn into a tight little knot The modestly cut neck of her clack silk dress was filled to the throat with cheap lace. She wore black cotton gloves. Nancy, recovering from her first emotion, saw her not so pathetic as she was uncompromising. “Do you think you’ll Mke Califortiia, Mrs. Nelson?” “I do not,” Hilda replied. "Why, that's too bad, after you’ve ®ome to make it your home.” “I have come to be with my son, Miss Gage.” * Was there a threat in this statement Nancy flushed, and Eric, hastening to the rescue, said, “I’m still a little boy to my mother, Nancy. She would follow be to the Sahara If necessary.” “I can’t imagine any one not liking California,” Amanda pufc_ in, coldly. "Most people are only 100 glad for an excuse to live here*” "Mrs. Nelson probably misses her

RASH CAUSED D SFIGUREMENT Lost Sleep Through Itching. Cuticura Heals. "I had a rash break out on my back and chest. Later it developed into pimple* and some of them festered. They spread up to my neck and face and caused disfigurement. My clothing aggravated them quite a lot, and I lost some sleep through the intense itching. The trouble lasted about four months. “I tried different remedies but they did little or no good. I read an advertisement for Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent for a free sample. I got relief so purchased more and in a short time I was completely healed.” (Signed) H. S. Whitechurch, 5605 Junction Ave., Detroit, Mich. r 5 Uae Cuticura to clear your skin. Soap Me.

friends, lAother. Everything here is so unfamiliar.” To this, Hilda replied nothing. After a moment’s silence, Amanda rose and left the room. She had made up her mind to serve tea as soon as possible and ’’have it oyer with.” Conversation, consisting of Hilda’s unequivocal responses to Nancy’s overtures, fluttered and died. Even Eric’s efforts failed to revive it. They left at 5. Amanda, returning from a trip to the kitchen, found Nancy on the floor in front of the fireplace. “She hates me,” she sobbed. "She doesn’t want Eric to marry me*” "Maybe she was scared,” comforted Amanda. "But what did I tell you, dearie? She isn’t a lady.” But Nancy knew with a hurt, astounded certainty that it was disapproval Hilda Nelson had been showing. When Eric returned that evening she found herself unable to force Hilda’s name to her lips. Yet the drab little figure seemed to stand between them. Distrustful! Forbiddingly grave! At the end of two weeks, however, Nancy suggested that she call. Eric’s reply lacked enthusiasm. Nevertheless she felt it her duty to go. As she knocked at the unpretentious door she was conscious of a curiosity even greater than her reluctance. The door opened grudgingly. "How do you do,” said Nancy. “I thought I’d run in and see if you were lonely.” Hilda opened the door Just wide enough for the girl to enter* “I am never lonely. Will you sit down?” The room was almost too clean. Spotless window curtains; stiffly starched table covers; a bright figured carpet in red and green. Haney saw concessions to Eric in the comfortable upholstered davenport and padded chair. There was a smoking stand, and

a collection of pipes on *ne table. Nancy touched the small photograph of a 2-year-old child. “Was this Eric?” “Yes.” Hilda pointed to the only other picture the room contained. "That is Eric, too, with his confirmation class. There is no Lutheran church here. That’s funny.” Nancy, examining the quaint group on the wall, said kindly, “If you are interested in church work perhaps you’ll Join the Missionary Society. My mother belongs-” “No thanks." Hilda stared disapprovingly at Nancy’s unscarred little hands. Her own were small, too, but swollen and knotted at the joints. “Excuse me, Miss Gage, but right is right and wrong is wrong. I am a Lutheran.” “But since you haven’t any church here ..." Hilda’s voice was uncompromising “I believe in hell.” “But the old-fashioned idea of hell is so unjust, Mrs. Nelson- Some people have so little chance.” She was amazed at the passion of Hilda’s outburst.

"A lot you know about that! You’ve had it easy. Some people have a hard time No one ever had it as hard as I did. But I was good, just the same. I worked and saved. I have money In the bank. And no one can ever say I dlu not take care of him.” Already Nancy realized that to Eric Nelson’s mother there was only one member of the masculine sex. “I’m sure you did,” she agreed. “Eric has told me how wonderful you were ” Tears stood out In Hilda’s eyes. “No one ever let me get by. I had to work and if I didn't do it right I had to do it over. No one ever had it as hard as I did. “Many a time my friends said: ‘Why don’t you put him in a home?’ But no, I did not do it. I took care of him. He was always clean and I never lfet him make any noise. "It must be a great comfort,” that he is such a splendid man. Now Nancy reminded her, gently, "to see that you can live more comfortably, I’m sure you feel repaid.” "I don’t want to sit and do nothing." "Os course not! But then you

Her voice was sharp as she inquired, “Do you mean Eric isn’t willing to take care of you?” “I don’t want Eric’s money.” "Oh, but Mrs. Nelson,” the girl cried, almost wringing her hands. “It will be so embarrassing for you to go to work here." "If I hadn’t worked when he was little, where would he be now?” "It isn’t necessary now.” “I’m not proud,” Hilda repeated. “I don’t want to sit and do nothing.” Nancy stared at her with terror in her eyes . . . LAPSE IN LEGISLATURE “Men in Legislatures and Congress today are not the profound thinkers we had thirty or forty years*ago,” Michael E. Foley, attorney and park commissioner, told the Advertising Club of Indianapolis at the Spink Arms hotel Thursday. "Business Interests cannot afford to be asleep and permit election of men to Congress and Legislatures who do not realize fully the meaning of constitutional government,” he said.
