NOtV frO ON tttTtf THk STORY CHAPTER XI T\y|TLDRED pretended not to see J- *■ Stephen and hurried away before he could reach her desk. She p|id not want to talk to him. Tt, wasn't her job site was worrying about, either. She. had made up her mind to forget him and was finding it the most difficult thing ehe.’d ever undertaken. She remained out of sight, until he was gone, seeing her disappear in the direction of the side entrance he assumed that she was leaving for the day. He quickly followed after, but Mildred had disappeared. There was a turn that, hid her from view. Just heyond was a flower shop. She stepped inside and hid behind e palm until Stephen had passed on his wav to the street. Then she humed back to meet Harold. “I stopped to telephone for my car.” he. said. “Do you mind waiting until it. is brought round from the parage?” ‘We could have taken the subway,” Mildred said, thinking that Stpphen might return. But he didn't and she enjoyed the drive uptown. The streets were clogged with traffic and the air was heavy with gasoline fumes, but Mildred did not mind the inconvenience. The air in the subway during the rush hour certainly was less pleasant than gasoline fumes, she thought, and she was not in a hurry. She didn't care what her mother had to offer Harold for dinner, either. It might be corned beef and cabbage or it might be stewed mutton with turnips. All she cared about was getting him away from the influences that kept him at gambling and drinking. And a good, wholesome meal wouldn't do him any harm, she concluded. tt n tt “TvON'T you get tired of being a Le wage slave?” Harold asked her unexpectedly. ”1 get so sirk Vs it sometimes T could scream.” Mildred answered . promptly. ‘‘Well, you don't have to do it, you know. You can marry me.” ‘That's sweet of you. Harold.” Mildred smiled at him. "but you see I'm sure I'm going to fall in love some day. And mother says 1 always take everything so hard. When I had tlie measles . . . .” “But marriage with me would Inoculate you against falling in love with anyone else.” Harold interrupted. “You wouldn't let yourself. You're too square.”

The nest morning. Saturday, the fiee-ond day ot Cherry Jonson's impromptu house party, Tony Tarver so exactly her usua,l gay, untroubled self that Crystal wondered if she had not been the victim of a particularly vivid nightmare. Os the two. Crystal seemed to have suffered far more from the strain of the night before than Tony. Because ot the pallor ot her cheeks and the violet shadows under her ryes. Tony had issued firm orders that Crystal stay in bed, until the middle of the morning at least. At 9 o'clock. Tony returned, carrying a breakfast tray. "What's the program for today?' 5 Crystal asked. •Rabbit-shooting!" Tony flung over her shoulder as she began to toss things out of a dresser drawer. “Lucky I brought knickers, isn't it? And my leather aviation coat . . . Nils' party. Four guns— Nils. Dick. George and I. Cherry’s rurious because she can't shoot, and Nils refuses to let her come along, merely to show off how cute she looks in breeches." “Isn't Harry Blaine going?" Crystal asked, as she watched her chum transform herself into a slimhipped. long-legged bov. “Lied like a gentleman. Said he couldn't shoot. Wants to hang aroimd here on the chance of having you ah to himself. You may have competition, however. I saw Cherry preparing to console herself for being left behind. "George tried to back out. too, when he found that Harry wasn't coming.*' Tony answered, flashing a joycus, significant grin at the girl in bed. "I'll be darned if 111 look coy!" Crystal retorted. “Harry wants to talk over the play he's going to write for the Christmas Benefit performance." f “I know," Tony laughed. "And George Pruitt is interested in you only as an artist's model. Well, well! One alibi's as good as another. Personally, I prefer George. He's so adorably ugly. Too bad God left 'IF nut when He made George. Poor George was simply bom to be a Rejected Suitor and to become the adored Uncle George* of Iris beloveds' children by other men.” “Sounds obscurely scandalous,” Crystal laughed, "but I know what

But suppose I couldn't help my-. self?,' Mildred countered. “I don’t believe people want to fall in love. It isn't comfortable ” “What? How do you know?” “Well, you hear about broken j hearts and ruined lives and other! things that love is responsible for,”! Mildred hastened to explain. “Maybe I wouldn't break your heart or ruin your life if I wTre married to you and fell in with another man. but how about my own heart and my own life? I have to think of them.” •It I don’t get you I’ll have a broken heart and a ruined life,” Harold declared. “There isn’t any doubt about that, while there is a ihance that, you might never fall in love with any one else. You aren’t in love with any one else, ar£ you, Mildred?” he added. Mildred changed the subject quickly. Tried to get him to tell her about Huck. Finally Harold confided that Huck had introduced him to the ponies, as it were. “That's just another way for you | *o lose money,” Mildred cried in dismay. “But I'll bet they let you win today, didn't they?” *'l think I came out about even.” Harold answered, growing a little sulky. “But you said you'd been winning.” she reminded him. “Oh, we played a little poker upstairs.” “Tn Mr. Connor’s room? You know Mr. Dazel doesn't permit it.” “You mean professional gambling,” Harold amplified. “This was only a friendly affain*r . . and we w'ere in my room,” he lied, afraid that he had said too much. “I don’t like it,” Mildred said; “there's some thing wrong about Huck Connor. I wish you wouldn't have anything to do with him, Harold.” “Look here,” Harold answered impatiently; “I get enough preaching from Pamela and dad when he's at home. Bea good fellow, Mildred, and drop it.” “All right,” .she sighed. “You'd better turn here and get off of Broadway; there's less traffit." a tt a SHE was unusually silent after that until they reached her flat. Even her mother's evident surprise at seeing Harold with her brought only a word or two of explanation. Connie covered her silence with plenty of conversation. Harold thought the younger sister a fresh kid and had as little to say to her as possible. It made him feel immeasurably more manly to be interested in a girl like Mildred. “Dear me, dear me,” Mrs. Lawrence whispered to Mildred in the kitchen: “There isn’t a decent tablecloth ready to use. They're all in the laundry. “Never mind.” Mildred soothed her. “We’ll do without a cloth.” Mrs. Lawrence w as horrified. “Eat on the bare table?” she almost screeched. “When we've got company?” Mildred laughed. “Wait a minute,” she said. “Where are the scissors?” • £he'd just thought of some blue linen she'd bought at an early fall sale and put away for the coming, summer. It would make a runner and at least four napkins. And it would take but a minute to fringe : the edges. When the table was set with the blue cloth and a brass bowl of fruit in the center and four small brass j candlesticks with yellow candles, it 1 made a very attractive picture.

you mean. Faitli is already trying to teach Robin to call him Uncle George, and little Hope shrieks *Utty’ every time she sees him. . . Not that George was ever rejected by Cherry. “In fact, he's Cherry's one conspicuous failure. And I don't agree with you that George lacks anything —for the right girl.” “Swell!” Tony cried, as she pulled a bright green beret over her black hair. “I wanted to see if I couldn’t get a rise out of you. And now' you’ve got me guessing. Which is l it, Crys? George or Harry?” “Don’t forget your gloves, darling!” Crystal evaded, pointedly. “How gorgeous you are when you blush!” Tony bent to kiss her. "Never use rouge again, sweet! Be unique—only girl in Stanton who— Yoohoo! Coming!” she broke off to yodel an answer to the concerted shout from below. But before she dashed from the room, she laicF her cheek against Crystal’s and whispered: “Don't w orry about, me any more, darling.” But she left before Crystal could discover a good reason for not worrying.

True, the bowl had come from a junk dealer and the candlesticksj were seconds from a department > store basement, but their defects 1 were hardly noticeable. Once when Mildred opened the j door from the kitchen and let in a i whip of thtir cooking dinner, Connie i jumped up *nd stormed out into the domain that saw little of her, to protest. “Do we have to have cabbage?” she cried in exasperation. "I can’t stand it!” She went over to the stove and lifted the lid from a steaming pot. “Pig knuckles!”/Her voice was filled with horror. HUB SHE; waited in the kitchen until Mildred came in. “Surely you aren't going to feed Harold Judson pig knuckles.” she exclaimed fervently. “Why not?” Mildred answered, coolly. Connie wailed. “Well, if you | don't care anything about him you might think of me., I wouldn't have the slightest objection to being Mrs. Harold Judson. but I certainly couldn’t, put romantic thoughts into a fellow's head when his stomach is filled with pig knuckles.” Fortunately her mother was in the dining room at the moment, else Connie might have got a broom where brooms were not primarily intended to be used. Mildred looked at her soberly. "He isn't good enough for you, Connie, dear,” she said quietly. “He’s a nice boy, but he's a weakling. He couldn’t keep a girl like “TCu out of trouble.” “Thanks,” Connie answered sarcastically. “I'll keep myself out of trouble.”” “You’d probably make a lot of foolish mistakes, married to the kind of man Harold Judson will be.” “Well, why worry?” Connie retorted. “After cabbage and pig knuckles . . .” And later, when Harold left his plate practically untouched, she felt correct in her conclusions. It wasn't, however, distaste for the food that spoiled their guest's appetite. He wasn’t hungry. Mildred understood, and stopped her mother from urging him to eat. but she did not protest when a third cup of coffee was urged upon Harold and he did not decline. Connie stayed to entertain Harold while Mildred helped her mother with the dishes. Then she reluctantly went off to the lecture she was attending with some school friends. “Now for the fireside stuff.” Harold laughed and settled himself down in the one big chair for a comfortable smoke. “Maybe you can find a station that’s playing ‘Hearts and Flowers.’” he added as Mildred went to the radio. It was a small set and the loud speaker was not loud at all. It was a very low speaker, and a tinny one at that, but Mildred made no apologies for it. “You know this isn't so bad,” Harold said after a while, “but, I wouldn’t do it for any other girl in the world. Come on, let’s go to a club and dance?” Mildred shook her head. “I'll show' ! you the family album.” she said with a seriousness that deceived Harold. He pretended to faint. “Teach you red dog," he suggested when he “came to.” “What is that?” Mildred asked suspiciously. Harold started to tell her that it was a card game, but she had to answer the telephone. "Hello, this is Stephen.’ Her heart missed a beat. “Isn't that you. Miss Lawrence?” ■ he asked doubtfully as Mildred remained silent. “Hello,” she said then, non-com-mit ally. “Glad I found you in.” Stephen said, refusing to be discouraged. “How about my hopping a train and coming up to see you?” (To Be Continued) HOUSE LEADERS TRY TO LIMIT LEGISLATION B u TimfK Sp< rial WASHINGTON. April 6.—House leaders are determined to restrict the legislative activities of the extra session which convenes April 15 to farm relief, tariff, congressional reappointment and a change in the national origins immigration lawr if a change is requested by President Herbert Hoover, Speaker Nicholas Longworth said today. Longworth and his associates are opposed, he indicated, to suggestions that, the house organize all committees and proceed with other legislation. Longworth will be guided, he said, by the views of Representative Louis T. MeFadden of Pennsylvania, chairman of the banking and currency committee, with reference to proposed additional federal reserve bank legislation. MeFadden has previously announced his opposition to any changes in the existing law.
