LEAP YEAR BPIDE tevS

BEGIN HEBE TODAT CHERRY DIXON, pretty 19-year-old daughter of wealthy parent*, falls In love with DAN PHILLIPS. newspaper reporter. Bhe quarrels with her father about Dan and then, taking advantage of Leap Year, ask* Dan to marry her. They are married and move Into a •heap apartment Cherry 1 * struggles With housework are discouraging. „ DIXIE SHANNON, movie critic of the Nswa. is friendly with Cherry. Bhe meet* handsome MAX PEARSON, also of the New*. After aevera! weeks. Cherry's mother becomes seriously 111. The girl is called home and there is a reconciliation with her parents, but pride will not allow her to accept financial aid from them. When MPS DIXON ia stronger, she sind her husbsnd leave lor several Inontn* at. the seashore. Cherry and Den are Invited to a swimming party at C nearby recort. Dan la delayed and Cherry starts with Max Pearson. A storm overt?ke* them and while they are waitlna for it to pass, he tells her he loves hw. They Anally reach home, but after wist Cherry avoid* Pearson. BRENDa VAIL, magazine writer, comes to Wellington. Dan meets her and she asks him to collaborate with her on a plsy. Dan spends most of hi* evenings at Mts* Vail s apartment, working on the play. Believing Cherry is lonely, Dan asks Pearson to drop 1n to see her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN (Continued.) “I see. What do you think of the play. Cherry?” The girl laughed. “I don’t know R thing about it. Dan's keeping the whole thing a surprise until it’s finished.” ‘ Seems to me you might be rather a valuable critic,” Pearson Baid. Cherry had been avoiding his byes, but now she looked at him. There was nothing in his manner to suggest that impetuous night of the storm. Cherry was not qiute comfortable In Max’s presence and she glanced away quickly. ‘‘Say, there's something I wish you’d do,” Dan was saying. ‘‘lt’s darned lonesome for Cherry with me spending so much time working. Drop in to see her now and then, won’t you Max? ‘ Cheer her up. Cherry doesn’t see enough people or get out as often as she should.” Pearson’s hesitation was almost Imperceptible. He said, ‘‘Why—yes, of course. I'll be glad to come to see her. Any time that I’m welcome.” ‘‘Welcome?” Dan grinned. ‘‘Say, I guess you know you’re welcome any time at our place. Isn’t he, Cherry?” The girl said Certainly.” Her eyes did not meet Pearson’s again. CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT CHERRY dropped her fare into the box as the street car lurched forward. There was a vacant seat half-way down the car and she made her way toward it. Twice the car jolted and almost flung her into the laps of other passengers. She reached the seat and sank into it. It was II o’clock of a bright September morning. Cherry had shopping to do downtown. The yellow house dress, the making of which had caused her so much anxiety, had turned out well. Dixie Shannon had seen the dress and liked it. Now Cherry was on her day downtown to buy more material. She was to make another dress for herself and one for Dixie, who had agreed to pay $1.50 over the cost of the material for the making. “It will give me something to do evenings,” Cherry had said when she had agreed to Dixie’s request. “I’ll get yellow for you, too. The same shade as mine, or as near like it as I can find.” ✓ The shopping was to be done in the basement of Sherman’s department store. Dixie had directed Cherry to that emporium and she had found there a wealth of bargains. Socks for Dan that would have cost 20 cents more anywhere else. Yard goods. Household equipment. The potted foliage plant that looked so well on the window sill. Going to Sherman’s was a pleasant adverture. Cherry leaned back in her seat and looked out at the street. She had no need to hurry today. The apartment had been left in apple pie order. It would be fun to windowshop after she had made her purchases and have a look at the new fall styles. Cherry was wearing a white linen dress and her Panama hat. She noticed that the two women who sat in front of her wore hats of felt. “I suppose it’s time for them,” the girl thought, “but somehow I can't realize the summer’s over.”

Idly she glanced about the car. There were four straw hats and nine of felt. Yes, autumn certainly had arrived. Cherry decided to get out her old broken felt for her next trip down town. She left the street car and walked the two blocks to Bherman's. The entrance to the large building was swarming with customers and inside the store even more crowded. Cherry saw huge placards that read, ‘‘Anniversary Sale,” and “Sherman’s for Service.” A woman dragging a little girl by op-e arm jammed her way into the elevator. She crowded Cherry against the wall, but it was only for a moment. Then the car stopped and the door ewung open again. They had reached the bargain basement. nan THE crowd about the yard goods counters was larger than Cherry ever had seen, but did not mind. She had plenty of time to linger until her turn to be waited upon. “Three yards of this yellow/’ she told the clerk, “and three yards of the pink and white.” The pink and white pattern was very attractive. Cherry thought Dan would like to see her wearing it. She bought thread and some buttons and braid. Instead of taking the elevator, she walked to’ the ground floor. “And now for the shop windows!” she thought eargerly, as she elbowed her way to the street. There was little to be seen behind the plate glass that fronted Sherman’s. Bargains left over from summer and a display of window draperies. Cherry turned and made her way toward Chestnut street. Here was Madelain’s exclusive establishment, Stanley’s and Logan’s—both department stores—and several specialty shops that sought their clients from Wellington’s wealthiest families. As Cherry had expected, there were fall dress's, winter coats and hats on display in these shop windows. The coloi s were rich browns, reds and griens with here and there a lustrous black. They were beuatiful costumes, made of expensive materials and artfully designed. “But I don’t know why I’m looking at them.” the girl thought a trifle wistfully. “Os course I can’t afford to buy anthing here this fall.” She was standing in front of Madeline's shop admiring a' small brown hat, when she heard some one call her name. Instantly Cherry recognized that voice. “Oh, Miss Vail!” she said as she turned. “How do you do?” Brenda Vail’s voice rose in its fluttering way. “What a coincidence! You know I’ve been thinking of you this morning. Wondering why Dan hadn’t brought you to see me again. Now that we’ve met, you simply must have lunch with me.” Cherry tried to decline. She was not quick enough to invent a plausible excuse and the other was insistent. “We’U go to Stanley’s tearoom,” she said. “It’s quiet there and it seems to be the only place in Wellington where a pot of tea is made properly.” Cherry found herself stepping into an elevator and then emerging into the department store tearoom. Certainly it was quiet here. The floor was covered with soft, dark green carpet. There were buff walls, an attractive background for the Italian furnishings and the tables were gay with bright hued garden flowers. The waitresses, in their trim green and buff uniforms, added a pleasant note of color. For a few moments Cherry thought with alarm that she might encounter some of her former acquaintances. She surveyed the room hastily, but recognized no one. n a a A SLENDER girl in black led them to a table near a window. Cherry sat down, facing her companion. Miss Vail looked quite different in street clothes than when Cherry had seen her before. She was dressed in black and white. The closely wrapped black turban showed only an edge of the brilliant titian hair. It seemed to bring out the irregularities of her features.

Cherry noticed for the first time that Miss Vail’s nose was too large. There were tiny lines suggesting age at the corners of her eyes and the same minute markings on her forehead. Daylight and the startling contrast of the black and white costume were not kind to that face. Apparently Miss Vail was unaware of this. She consulted Cherry about the order, repeated it to the waitress with several sharp comments, and then turned her attention again to Cherry. “And w>v haven’t you come to see me?” she demanded. Cherry hesitated. She suddenly had become conscious of her worn linen frock and old hat. “I—why I thought you were busy working—” she began. Miss Vail shrugged. “I suppose if you’re not interested in creative work you find it boring. Os course I can’t really understand that point of view, for to me my work is my life. Still we must have other interests in common and I was so anxious that we should be friends.” She paused as though searching for an “interest” that might be suited to Cherry’s mentality. “Do you like crossword puzzles?” she went on brightly. “I’ve found them quite entertaining. You know at some of the smartest parties in New York they’ve been going in for simple games.” Cherry replied that she had not looked at a crossword puzzle for several years. ‘But how do you spend your time?” the other persisted. “I cook,” the girl said firmly, “and wash dishes and sweep and dust. When I’ve finished all that, there’s always mending or sewing or the marketing to do.” “The little housewife!” Brenda Vail gushed. “But I might have known. Os course, you're the domestic type. Men of Dan’s talent and ability so often are atracted by

7TSCTW A DAY BY BRUCE CATTQN ISABEL was an English girl who was gifted with —or, maybe, afflicted by—such a strong desire to make other people happy that she got herself a dreadful reputation. Isabel had only to find out that a man needed her—really, honest-to-goodness needed her—and she would be his. Since she the type that lots of men need, her career, if deplorable, was at least eventful. She is presented in the novel, “Isabel.” by Gerald Gould, and despite the fact that the author bears a distinguished reputation, the book seems to me to be nothing you need worry over very much. To be sure, it isn’t cheap, even if the above resume does make it sound that way. Mr. Goul has contrived to put a lot of intelligent, thoughtful comment on people and events Into his book, and it is not in any sense a sexy thriller. But somehow it seems a pretentious fake. Isabel starts out by marrying, while in her early twenties, an aging drunkard at the same moment that her ister, Rosamund, marries his son. Presently the drunkaref dies, and Isabel becomes the mistress, successively, of an editor and an arty sort of critic. Then she marries a financier, becomes the mistress of a politician and ultimately brings about a crash that overwhelms practically everybody. Mr. Gould never makes you believe in her or in the importance of the people whose lives are entangled with hers. “Isabel” is published by Brewer, Warren and Putnam, and costs $2.

TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN

Presently Tarzan from his greater height a3 he looked across the rolling country, saw the advance of the Veltorismakusians. He watched their various movements for a few moments and reported them to the Ant Men's prince. “They are owning in long lines across a wide front,” he called down. “Your first line will be overwhelmed.” At this news, Komodoflorensal gave a sharp command. A thousand mounted men leaped forward, urging their diadets into bounding leaps that cleared six or seven feet at a jump.

girls who have led a quiet home life. ‘And it’s so easy to understand! Dan is such a brilliant young man. He has a real future, and I know you're not going to stand in the way." “Stand in the way?” Cherry repeated. “Why. what do you mean?” a a a MISS VAIL said soothingly, “Only that of course he’ll want to branch out—broaden his horizons—meet other creative artists and—well, in sho* t, learn to express himself. “And you mustn', worry your

pretty little head about it. Dan has temperatment, and it would never do to stifle it!” “I guess I don’t understand much about temperament,” Cherry said. “I don’t think Dan's being stifled. Os course I know he’s anxious to go to New York.” “He must. Oh, yes, it’s the place for him.” Cherry 1 raised troubled eyes. “I hope you won’t encourage him too much about going away,” she said. “If it’s what he needs, of course he’ll have to go. “But he’s been getting along pretty

I don’t see how we could manage to leave very soon ” Miss Vail dismissed these objections with a w'ave. “Nothing is impossible when it’s a question of art,” she said. “Nothing!” Cherry had finished her ice. “I hope you’ll excuse me. Miss Vail.” she said. “I didn’t notice how late it’s growing.” “Oh, but you’re not going?” “Yes. I really must.” Cherry arose. “Thank you so much for the luncheon.” Brenda Vail's smile was guileless. “It’s been a pleasure. But I’m not going to be satisfied unless I see

“I think I shall remain here,” replied the apeman. “But they wiH take you prisoner, or kill you!” warned Komodoflorensal. Tarzan of the Apes smiled at the very idea of these diminutive men capturing him. -“I do not fear them.” “That is because you do no know them,” cried the prince. “Your great size makes you overconfident. Remember, you are only four times the size of one Minunian. There may be tliirty thousand seeking to overthrow you.” “I wall risk it,” answered the ape-man. w

more of you soon. Drop In any time.” Cherry’s answer was mumbled. She turned and hurried away, assuring herself that if she had stayed another moment her anger would have gotten the best of her. “I don’t care how smart Brenda Vail is!” she stormed to herself. ‘‘l don’t care if she does write stories and sell them to magazines! “She doesn't have to talk to me as though I don’t know a thing and she doesn't have to tell me how brilliant Dan is and what's for his good.

I guess I know Dan as well as she does!” Throughout the trip home, Cherry’s rage continued. It was not until she had reached the apartment, had dropped her packages and her hat to sit down and think things over calmly, that the angry’ mood subsided. She reminded herself of the night drive only the week before and how ashamed she had been of her earlier jealousy. (To Be Continued)

The Veltorismakusians were driving rapidly forward. The prince could give no more time to a futile attempt to persuade Tarzan to retreat. While he admired the strange giant's courage, he likewise deplored his ignorance. He had grown fond of their strange guest and would have saved him. But now he must turn to the command of his troope since the enemy was almost upon them. As he galloped away, Tarzan, left' alone, watched the coming of the little enemy men on their agile, wiry mounts.
