Visitors to Sc ithland Cos ne Back \ * New York’s Fashionable Restaurants Attracted Tanned Patrons. BY HELEN WORDEN Tinn Suerial Wrllr NEW YORK. April s.—Park-av restaurant* and supper clubs are crowded with returning resort vtsltora. Pretty sun-tanned girls, goo d-looklng sun-burned men. bright clothes, romantic music, new cocktails and current gossip swirl in kaleldescoplc scenes. Although off the beaten path, the little colony at 667 Madison-av. draws the majority of Park avenue faithfuls. Seated at an inconspicuous table the small flower-trimmed dining Zoom yesterday was Dr. - Rudolf f Kummer, giving a party for Marlene Dietrich who left last night for Hollywood. Miss Dietrich, wearing a soft brown cloth street suit, swaggered Into the colony, with a box of Sherry's candy stuck under her arm and her hands tucked in her big patch pockets. Brings Gift of Candy The candy was a surprise for Dr. Kummer—“in appreciation oi his kindness to her!” Th'*e who shared Marlene Dietrich’s company at suave Dr. Rummer’s table included Cecil Beaton; the exotic British photographer and Louise Lselin, who suggests an English page boy with her straight flaxen bangs. ALso entertaining luncheon guests as the colony were Mrs. Robert McAdoo, chic and startling in a smart white hat perched right on top of her sleek, bla"* head. (Mrs. Harrison William.-, end Capt. Alistair Mclntosh enjoyed her hospitality), Mrs. Walter Chrysler, the Countess Di Frasso, Mary Pickford’s friend; Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt and Lady Furness. The air was richly fragrant with the dish of the day, mousaka of baby lamb orientale, prepared as t spring touch by Charlie and Berr, the chefs de luxe at the restaurant. Gaiety Near Hospitals New York is a city of contrasts. Directly above the gaiety of the colony is the town’s mast celebrated private sanitarium. The Harbor, and our most famous lying-in hospital, Miss Lippincott's Nursing Home. The light gray stone building, with its pale green trimmings, suggests a modern French apartment house much more than a rich private hospital. So camouflaged are the two sanitariums. I doubt if many of the people in the neighborhood realize they are there. The only evidence Is the number of drug stores that cluster around 667 MadLson-av. Also, I wonder if many persons know of the many international marriages in which Dr. Arnold Kummer has figured as Cupid? Cupid fluttered over the colony yesterday noon. Harry D'Arrest lunched with Eleanor Boardman, whom he plans to marry, they say, as soon as he returns to Hollywood. Mothers’ club to GIVE GUEST TEA Mrs. Lout; Traugctt. accompanied by Mrs. Maxey H. Wall, will be soloist at a guest tea of the Sigma Nu Mothers' Club Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Richard Fielding will give a book review on "The Gorgeous Hussey." Mrs. L. P. Highley is program chairman. Assistants for the tea are Mesdames M. L. Johnston, C. O. Peek, C. R. Hertenstein and E. K. Demmerly.

Irene find* a letter and small package from Bart SOW GO OS WITH THE STOUT. CHAPTER TWO PLEASE keep this, dear!” Bart. had written in the letter he sent with the returned ring. “Perhaps It Is only vanity on my part but I can’t bear for you to forget entirely what to me shall always be a most precious memory.” “Words! Nothing but words!" Irene though scornfully. In a blind rage she crumpled the letter in her hand and looked up to see her younger sister. “Aren't you going to open your package? It looked so exciting I could hardly wait for you to come home. “It’s only that old jade ring of mine." Irene replied indifferently. “But it has Dr. Ralston’s name on it,” Betty cried, disappointed. “I sent it back to him. I don t want it any more.” Irene dropped the package into her sister’s eager palm. “How would you like to wear It?” “Oh, Irene, may I? I’m crazy about jade.” As Betty tore the paper wrapping from the box, their mother entered. Round-eyed and far more unsophisticated than either of her daughters, she exclaimed, “Why, Irene, what's happened? Surely you're not giving away your pretty ring?” , “I an, and what’s more I don’t want to discuss it.” Elizabeth looked hurt and retreated to the kitchen where an instant later Irene followed her to fling repentant arms around her neck. “I'm sorry, darling! I didn’t mean to be cross.” Mrs. Gardner sounded like a curious child. “Are you mad at him. honey?” “Worse than that. He's going to marry someone else.” Elizabeth held her closer in an embrace that comforted, even though the girl in her arms knew her mother would never be able to understand the burning agony caused by the desertion of the man she had adored. “Never you mind,” crooned Elizabeth like a little girl to her doll. “He wasn’t good enough for you anyway.” A week later Irene successfully completed her ten days trial and became an air hostess. Temporarily she took a room at a hotel across the bay. It was too far to make the long trip from San Francisco to the airport every day so that the air hastesses were compelled to live in either Alameda or Oakland. The abrupt transfer from the busy routine of the hospital to the so different busy routine of aviation was like being suddenly projected into another world, where even the language was often unfamiliar. But from the first she liked it. There was a breezy air of gayety about the airport. Every one connected w r ith it seemed to be young. Irene thought she had never seen a prettier group of girls than the stewardesses lined up hand in Land to be photographed for a San Francisco paper. “Ladies of the Air” the reporter called them in her ensuing article. “None taller than 5 feet 4 inches, none weighing over 125 pounds, Such requirements make an attractive parcel of girl.” But Irene knew by now that there were other requirements equally important. The head stewardess of the Pacific Coast had said to her, “An air

“I can see you've never been kissed." “Oh, once or twice I have, that is to say, now and then,” she confessed airily.

hostess must not only be a registered nurse. She must have social poise, be accustomed to meeting the public and at the same time be resourceful, and enthusiastic over her work and life in general. When a girl become blase her uselulness as an air stewardess is ended.” “But it’s ended anyway after she is 25,” Irene reminded her. The other woman smiled. “Few are with us long enough to reach that age. Most of the girls marry within a year or so. Every month or two some girl drops out of the service because of what we call the pilot and co-pilot hazard. That’s the reason we happen to have a place for you. One of the girls was married to Eddie Fairfield last week. 'He’s the pilot who took you to Reno.” Irene remembered him. A shy blue-eyed boy. The stewardess continued, “The company will be glad when all the pilots and co-pilots are married so that the air hostesses will be safe from matrimonial danger from them at least.” “You won’t have to worry about that with me,” Irene retorted. I’m romance proof.” Afterward she wondered if any one could have overheard her or whether what followed was merely coincidence? She was standing at the window idly watching the graceful landing of a returning ship when an agreeable voice said, “So you’re the new stewardess?” Turning, she found herself looking into a handsome, masculine face. The fathomless darkness of his eyes reminded her of Bartlett but his features were more regular. His mouth was clean shaven and well-proportioned, his nose highbridged and sensitive, while the lean, attractive line of his jaw gave him a profile seldom seen except on magazine covers. "My name's Tom Merrit,” he informed her. “I'm Irene Gardner.” “I hope you don t mind my speaking to you like this. We re an informal gang out here. Not much standing on ceremony.” a a a HIS smile bore the winning audacity of one accustomed to having his own away. “Too many women have been smitten by his charms,” Irene thought. It amused her to think how impregnable would be her own resistance. After her experience with Bartlett Ralston one should be able to resist any man. “Think you’re going to like your new profession?” he demanded. Her green eyes flashed enthusiasm. „ “Oh. yes! I love it.” “When do you start working?” "Tomorrow noon.” “Seattle?” She nodded. A laughing group of pilots approached and he lowered his voice. “How about going places with me tonight then?” he suggested. Well, why not, Irene asked herself, baGk at the hotel dressing for the evening. So long as she was in bed for a reasonable amount of rest, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep much anyway, it would relieve the nervous tension of thinking about the next day; and Tom Merrit was good looking enough to be a desirable escort for any one. The fact that she was never going to fall in love gain was no reason for avoiding the companionship of

men. On the contrary the less one cared the more amusing it would be to play with them. Take none of them seriously but flirt and run as if love were a delightful game they pretended it was. She would meet them now on their own level, giving blow for blow. Encouraging, evading, side-stepping, and in the end if any one was hurt it wouldn’t be Irene Gardner. Thus armed she dressed demurely in a dusty pink frock, buttoned a white coat over it and tilted a white hat becomingly above one eye. “I look like a picture of winsome womanhood,” she murmered ironically. Nevertheless, when the tele- | Stones in f J STAMPS I Getting Out UUNQUE in the experience of political spellbinding is the issue of a set of stamps urging the inhabitants of the Saar to vote in they? recent plebiscite.

BETTY LEE BURNS TO BE BRIDE

Mr. and Mrs. Lee Bums announce April 27 as the date for the marriage of their daughter, Miss Betty Lee Burns, to Daniel W. Layman Jr., Los Angeles, Cal , son of Dr. and Mrs. Daniel W. Layman. A quiet ceremony will be read at the Burns' home, 4205 Washington-blvd. Miss Burns, a member of the Junior League of Indianapolis, was graduated from Abbott Academy, Andover, Mass., and from Erskine School in Boston. Mr. Layman was graduated from Philips Andover and Williams College.

phone rang she knew an instant of acute pain. If only it could be Bartlett! It was over a year since had had a date with another ma i. "And now what's your idea of a perfect evening?” Tom asked as they drove away from the hotel. “Why not show me a sample of yours?” He smiled at her. “Dinner, some place where we can dance; the feature picture of a movie and r aybe another dance or two before we come home.” “Sounds fine to me,” she said appreciatively. He patted her hand. “We are going to get along. I can see we have a great deal in common." It had the makings of a perfect evening Irene reflected, tucked discreetly In her own corner. Spinning down the highway in a brand new car with one of God's gifts beside her and the moon like a huge theatrical prop suspended in a summer sky. Presently she became conscious that Tom Merrit was favoring her with his “line.” One which had without doubt been ecstatically received up and down the entire Pacific coast. Three weeks ago, before she had become so completely a woman of the world, Irene herself would have felt flattered by it. But now. although she smiled encouragingly and led him on with sympathetic comments it was a game with her just as it was with him.

a a a TDM was telling her all about his childhood. What a bad little brat he had been. The one person who could do anything with him was his beautiful young mother. After she died he had sort of “gone wild.” His father didn’t understand him and Tom had sneaked away from school to learn to fly. He had a good many hours to his credit before he even dared to tell his father he wanted to be a pilot. And in all that time, through the battle which followed and the years before he was actually qualified for his present position, there had never been a girl who had really interested him. “Until today when I saw you looking out the window.” “Really?” Irene murmured, “but when he stopped the car on a deserted, tree-lined road she veered away from his embrace, saying sensibly, “Let’s drive on, Tom! I’m hungry.” “Foiled,” he grinned. “Never mind, baby, I’ll get you yet.” That he would do so Irene could see he never doubted during the entire evening. Leaning across a table for two; touching her hand, then drawing his away as if the contact *were more than he could bear; shutting his eyes against the glamour of her face while they were dancing; whispering, “You’re lovely! You’re wonderful ! ” Then when she had failed to respond, when in spite of all he had said, and done she continued to float remotely within his arms, he abandoned this method for one entirely different. “If there's anything I like in a woman it is discrimination. Not permitting herself to be pawed over by every Tom, Dick and Harry she goes out with. Take yourself, for instance. I can see you’ve never been kissed.” They were on their way to the theater by this time. “Oh. once or twice I have, that is to say now an then,” she confessed. airily. “No?” he cried in mock surprise. “I’d never have thought it. You are so shy and quiet.” Irene lifted amused, dark-lashed green eyes. “Not really?” “Yes, you little bum! YoU’ve the heart of a hard-hearted devil and the face of an angel from heaven.” “How terribly interesting,” she drawled. It was fun, this game they were playing which lasted through the picture and was accompanied by his attempts to hold her hand. But when they were on their way home the game abruptly ceased. Tom stopped the car, seized her in strong, young arms and kissed her squarely on the mouth. She could not move, could not even cry out against the sudden, furious onslaught of his lips.
