NOW fjO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FIVE Cm LIMBING the stairs after her J visit to the hospital, Mona's step was lighter anti brisker than It had been for a long while. Dad had seemed better, more cheerful than he had been for weeks. The doctors were encouraging. Romcwhere in science there had been a discovery. They did not hold out a definite hope, but .maybe when he was stronger—at any rate,, they assured Mona that he was not losing ground. Steve had dashed in for a moment before he left Mona with her father and added a definite ray of cheer to the sick room. Mr. Moran had welcomed the fruit and the tobacco—“My old brand, Rtevoy boy!” He made light of the three intervening years. If there had bom gossip concerning them “Dad” Moran had ignored it. Steve was to come’for Mona at *7:30. He had gone home to dress. It occurred to the girl sharply that she would prefer to stay home to reflect on this glorious news con*corning her father. Or was it news? She told herself the doctors might say anything when you needed cheering. Half’the time they didn’t really know themselves. Suddenly Mona stopped In dismay. If Steve were dressing it' meant she must wear formal evening clothes, too. And she had nothing to wear —nothing! Her old ' black satin had done service for a year. Usually when she accompanied Lottie on parties Ihn other girl would Insist on loaning Mona a dress so that lack of a

AD^ BY BRUCE CATTON

THE way in which the weak and foolish can dissipate a fortune amasssed by their more capable ancestors forms the theme of "House of Vanished Splendor," by William McNally. In this book Mr. McNally’presents Us with the Knott family, holders of a proud name in the upper Mississippi valley and occupants of a huge,* castle-like home along the Mississippi, a little below Minneapolis. There are five whose actions combine to bring about disaster; the widow of the man who built the fortune and her four children, two ions and two daughters. One*son is a profligate idler, the other is a hard-working but utterly inacapable nincompoop. One daughter has a religious mania and lets the world wag as it will, content to wrap herself up in dreams; the other is a hard, brittle creature, who never has learned how to govern her temper. These five, among them, contrive to destroy their heritage. The bulk of the estate vanishes through the weakness of the mother. That which remains, disappears because none of the children has any idea how to save jt. In the end, nothing of the family’s greatness remains but the house itself, and it has passed into the hands of strangers. Mr. McNally takes a long time to get started, and the first third of his book is dull and labored. Once he gets under way, however, lie writes a corking good story, and if you'll skim through the first chapters, you'll find the novel very much worth your while. Published by Putnam, it is offered at $2.50.

costume would not be sufficient excuse for declining the invitation. Lottie, working as a model, was able to pick up many a gown at a bargain. Her supply was unlimited. But Mona hardly could borrow from Lottie tonight, after turning down definitely Lottie’s invitation for the evening. No, the black dress would have to do. Then she recalled that she had sent the dress to Alice, ostensibly to be darned as only Alice could do it, actually so that Alice could go to the Elks’ ball. Well, either Mona would go as she was or not at all. Steve would have to understand that. Mrs. Moran opened the door and let Mona into the little flat redolent with frying pork chops and warmth. Ma was expansive with innocent gossip. Mrs. Casey had been otfer during the afternoon. Mary was going with that fellow who kept books in her office, the tall one they had seen coming out of the motion picture show. Genevieve was taking tap dancing and would tfach Kitty. Alice had phoned. She was well and would run down some afternoon soon to bring Min’s dress, all darned, back with her. nun THE run from 245th street sounded more casual than It would turn out to be, Mona knew. The dress, most likely, would remain in Alice’s possession until Mona herself could go for it. Well, it didn't matter. Poor Alice —she had little enough look forward to. “And your dress came back from the cleaners. Or maybe it was your suit or whatever you were after sending. I didn’t open it. “I was at the telephone. Bud won’t be back for supper. He’s working tonight ” Ma's soothing voice trailed on. So Bud had landed that job! It brought Dad’s treatment nearer if Bud would work and stay home and help run the household. The suit from the cleaner’s? Mona didn’t recall sending anything this week.

The sight awaiting her in the dreary little bedroom occupied by herself and Kitty made Mona blink. Lucky that Ma hadn’t opened it! As Ma would have expressed it, the contents would have given her a good faint for herself. Cleaner’s indeed. The box was from Pilgrim’s. Mona would have known that smart lavender container anywhere. A huge lavender box, criss-crossed with darker lavender ribbons. A box spelling luxuary, perfection. "It’s a mistake," stammered Mona to herself, fumbling for the tag. But there was no mistake about the box. The inscription said plainly, "Miss Minnie Moran," East Sixty-seventh street.” There was no other Moran at this address. Even if there had been. Pilgrim’s would hardly have been her emporium. n tt a PERHAPS Lottie had picked up a bargain for her, though that w r as unlikely,. The models did not send their furtive purchases out in expensive firrA's boxes! Flowers came from that scamp, no doubt, who bought the oranges,” ’Ma was saying good humoredly, "I put them in the ice box. A nice i handful, says I, to take up to the old man!” Dazed, unhearing, Mona lifted the cover of the box. On top of the silken tissues lay a square lavender note addressed in a hand which after all these months Mona was to recognize at Henri’s. "Dear Miss Moran,” the note began, "please accept these trifling appointments in the spiirt in which they are offered. When I ask a young lady to play a part even for an evening, like all good stage managers, I insist on selecting the wardrobe as well as its setting. "For both must do justice to the leading lady. Steve.” Steve indeed! Henri had written that note, but Steve had put him up to it. Mona lifted the grayish green chiffon gown from its wrappings and held it before her. Smooth was the right word. Her practiced eye already had poured herself into the frock. She could see the line which brought | her back into full view to the waist-

line, trailed the unevenly cut straps over her shotildcrs and the front neckline close to the collar bone. Few women could wear that line —and Mona was one of the ftyv. The gowh swirled and draped about the slender hips in the famous Patou line. Midway on the left thigh it formed a cup, to balance the fold on the opposite shoulder. It ended in the region of her

CONTRACT BRIDGE at the EXPFPTS PLAY IT

BY W. E. Me KENNEY Secretary American Bridge I,came MANY players feel that the exactness required in contract bidding develops good play. Well, that may be true, but most players will tell you that it is more difficult to play the hand at auction than at contract bridge. An interesting hand from the auction pair championship event is given below.

4K-Q-6 VQ-6-3 4 K-Q-5-2 *A-10-3 A7 [NORTH] aA-10-VK-J-8- |T 5 9-8-4-5-4 qj </) 3 ♦ J-10- 5 H ¥9-2 7-6 Dealer + 9-8 *7-5-4 ISOUTH I * J-9-2 *J-5-2 VA-10-7 ♦ A-4-3 *K-Q-8-6 54

The Bidding At contract the bidding would be opened with a club. North would respond with one diamond and South then would go to one no trump. North would be justified in jumping to four no trump. If one felt bold, one might try five no trump with the South hand, but it would be a very optimistic bid. At auction, it is a question whether to open the hand with a club or one no trump. The hand has an ideal no trump distribution and two aces and most tables did open the hand with one no trump. West passed and many auction players with North's hand would bid two no trump to show a strong hand and inform partner that he could stand any suit takeout. The Play There is a neat play in the hand for six odd with South playing the hand at no trump. West opened the five of hearts. This trick was won by South, the declarer, with the ten of hearts. , South's next play was a small spade which East won with the ace, returning the deuce of hearts. Declarer went right up with his Rce. He then led two rounds of spades, West discarding two clubs. Declarer then started the club suit—first the ace from dummy, and then a small club winning in his hand with the queen. West dropped the eight of hearts. South led the king of clubs, West played the jack of hearts and North and East followed. The declarer now led his last club and West was helpless—if he dropped the king of hearts, dummy’s queen would be good, while if he dropped one of his diamonds, declarer then discarded the heart frojji dummy, led his ace of diamonds and then discarded the heart from dummy, led his ace of diamonds and then a small diamond to the dummy, winning the remaining tricks with dummy’s diamonds. A small slam was made by the declarer in this manner. (CoDvrieht. 1932. NEA Service. Inc.)

They had cost dear Heaven! the entire outfit was w*rth untold sums! m m m MONA caught her breath and lifted the last fold of tissue. She caught it and grew paler. There lay a coat of ermine, against which her hair would gleam like a flower shaped in bronze. She grew weak at the knees. At last she would be dressed as she had longed, as every woman longs to be gowned. But of course she couldn't take all this from Steve! He meant it

well enough. Mona was certain of that. But she couldn't take it, even for a single evening. She would have to tell him when he came. Hanging the gorgeous gown and wrap where she could see them. Mona lay down on the bed. The iceman's grandson—the bad boy of the sixties. The Mrs. Callahands and Mrs. Caseys would jjave much to dwell upon if they could glimpse the contents of that box and the note. Mona smiled faintly at the thought. She couldn’t take such gifts. Not even for an evening. She simply couldn't. Well, maybe—why not? Just for tonight! That was al] he was offering it for —and it was Steve, her old friend,

Steve. He wanted to be proud of her. Rising resolutely from the bed. Mona searched in her purse for a coin. Heads would be yes and tails no, she decided. She flipped the coin. Twice out of three times. Heads. Tails. Ah. yes. heads! She'd wear the gown! ; She threw herself on the bed again, the tumult of indecision ended. Such is our emotional mechanism that before 7:30 had arrived, simultaneously with her escort. Mona had made herself firmly believe that she was wearing the gown for him alone. She was wrong there—or at least ; a trifle -wrong. Any one who looked as lovely as Mona as she sped down i the stairs to meet Steve before the

As the ape-mans chief guard turned to leave he replied: “You will do well, Kalfastoban, to heed the king's commands.” “Kalfastoban fears no king.” blustered the vental. “We all know that Zoanthrohago. the great wizard, is the real power in our country.”
