If seemed almost unbelievable the way Fate was playing into Irene's hands. As if Stephen Reagan : could read her mind and wanted to help her Yet she know no such idea could be back of the invitation which was telephoned to her the following Thursday. What nights this week will you be in town?” he asked. When she told him she would be ! home from Friday noon until Sunday morning he said: "That will be fine. How about coming out to the house for dinner Saturday nightthen we ll go some place and dance? I'd like to have you meet my sis- : ter.” From then on Irene was concerned j vith only one question. Would Bartlett be there or wouldn't he? It wasn't often he had been able to to dancing with her, but then her own time had been limited. Now that his interneship was so nearly , finished he would be working harder than ever. She told herself he probably wouldn't be present at the dinner on Saturday night, but on the | chance that he might she bought a new dress. It was the kind of dress calculated to make a man weep tears of 1 regret when he saw it on the sweet - | heart he had jilted. It was wistful j and demure and provocative, of | swirling transparent white violets, j “You look like an angel.” Stephen | said. "Not the angel of mercy which you are, but the kind that plays a harp, straight from Heaven.” He had called for her at the Alameda apartment so that she wouldn’t have to cross the bay alone. He was one man whose time would never be considered too valuable to permit such small courtesies. The more she saw of him the better she liked his wholesome point j of view and buoyant unspoiled op- | timlsm. Tt was refreshing to be with 1 a person whose intelligence was keenly alert yet who had also man- ! aged to retain his enthusiasm. a a a STEPHEN REAGAN JR„ who asked to be called Steve, enjoyed 1 life. He liked to swim and dance and play tennis. He rode horseback and traveled in airplanes. "Id like to have a plane of my own some day,” he said, just as he had said, "Some day I'd like to have a publishing business of my own.” His was perhaps the untried confidence of youth, the self-assurance of one who has money back of him, but even so it was appealing. If Peggy were anything like her brother, Irene told herself, she really wouldn't blame Bart. But Peggy wasn’t. So much was evident from Irene's first glance at the impatient, petulant girl waiting in her father’s lib* ary. Peggy’s figure tvas too mature. Her skin bore the velvety sheen of youth beneath a ridiculous amount of cosmetics, applied heavily but also with a good deal of skill. She was obviously trying to look ; as unhealthily exotic as a naturally buxom girl could, and this effect, so apparent to the other girl's experienced eyes, made her seem crudely young. "She's nothing but a baby,” was Irene's first astonished impression. Even her own little sister Betty, who I was the same age. seemed grown up ; in comparison with this other 18- i year-old. "It's about time you were getting here." Peggy exclaimed. "What’s your hurry?” Steve re- I torted good naturedly. "Irene, this lis the spoiled sister. Peggy, I want you to meet Miss Gardner.” “How do you do?” drawled Peggy j in her best movie star manner. "I'm starved. That's why I'm in a hurry.” The room they were in was alive with books and warm with maroon colored hangings. A fire burned brightly in the fireplace. Shaded lights gleamed conveniently close to even- chair. It was a room to ini vite the soul and Irene, picturing Bart reading before the fire, thought ! achingly, "No wonder he's ambitious i —when success means things like this." Was he going to be here or wasn’t j he? Then Steve, pressing a bell for the servant repeated the question 1 which had been running through her mind. "Were's Bart?” "In the laboratory with father. They've been there for hours." "Tell the doctor our guest is here, will you. Clem?” Steve ordered. a a a TEN minutes later Irene lifted startling black-lashed green eyes to the sight of the man she loved. Unconscious of her proximity. he was happily absorbed in conversation with the older man. It was Dr. Reagan, whose bushy eyebrows concealed gray eyes so like his son's who boomed. "Little Miss Gardner, isn't it? Well, this is a surprise. At the sound of her name Bartlett froze to attention. His eyes met hers self-consciously. Irene was amazed to realize that his panic was even greater than her own. The knowledge gave her courage to put out her hand, saying. "Good evening, doctor! How are you?” Then every one was laughing and talking again, dinner was announced, and Peggy was saying childishly, "Come and sit by me. Bart darling! I haven't seen you j for four days.” "Didn't Dr. Williams tell me you had gene into aviation?” Dr. Reagan inquired kindly. "Yes, I have,” the girl answered while Stephen Jr. added. "That’s where I met her. dad. Flying to Seattle.” , “And do you like it better than hospital work?” the surgeon continued. Bart was listening, too. Irene could see him watching her covertly. "Much better,” she replied gayly. “It’s quite the most thrilling : experience IYe ever had. “I wanted to learn to fly. but daddy and Steve won't let me,” pouted Peggy. I “you wanted to be an actress.

too," Steve reminded her. "And when you were 13 you were going to be a nun.” “I still think I'd have made a good one.” his sister retorted. “It would be lovely to wear a long white robe and go about doing good." The men laughed as they would at the antics of a pet kitten. "What sort of uniform do you wear, Miss Gardner?” was Peggy's next question. "Avery ordinary green one.”

job," her father said, smiling indulgently. "Pass the salt, Peggy, and be yourself. You’ll make a much better wife than you would an air hostess.” suggested Steve. How could Bart be seriously considering marriage to such a spoiled child, thought Irene. Even if her father were the biggest surgeon in the world! Couldn't he see what marriage to such an emotionally undeveloped person would mean? Later she observed that he had already adopted the attitude of Steve and her father. Indulgent, protective, amused. That he was not in love with Peggy Reagan was obvious to the girl who had known the bitter sweetness of his kisses. But after all it was none of her business. If he was willing to pay the price, and evidently he was, let him marry Peggy and go into her lather's office. Some day, when he had become a famous surgeon and had everything money and fame could buy, he might look back upon that passionate love affair with her and realize that after all he had missed something. Without giving him so much ns a fleeting gance, Irene bestowed all her attention upon the other two men, leaving Bart free to entertain his fiancee. But before they left the house when the surgeon had gone to his study and Peggy and Stephen were getting their wraps. Bartlett and Irene were left alone.

Veteran of Music Feted in New York Walter Damrosch Honored for Fifty Years of Service. BY HELEN WORDEN Time* Special Writer YORK, April 13—“ This is ' the happiest moment of my life,” said Walter Damrosch, stepping to the front of the Metropolitan Opera House stage last night. The audience cheered. Mrs. August Belmont bowed. She had just finished reading a resolution adopttd by the Citizen’s committee, congratulating Mr. Damrosch on his achievements. “It seems a pity for me to talk.” said Mrs. Belmont, waving a slender hand in the direction of Lawrence Tibbett, Helen Jepson. Lauritz Melchoir and Kurt Brownell, “after all this wonderful music. I wish I could sing!” “I’ve never heard such a beautiful speaking voice,” said Ernest Hutcheson, my host and dean of the Julliard, as Mrs. Belmont reached the end of her resolution. “I'm glad she couldn’t sing!” “Eleanor Robson Belmont wasn’t on the stage twenty years for nothing!” Theodore Steinway remarked. “She knows how to act and what to do with her voice!” Pleases Audience Dressed in a simple white satin evening gown, as white as her loosely coiled white hair, Mrs. Belmont appeared with Mr. Damrosch at the close of the Beethoven and Wagner program. She made a hit with the audience. It was an audience that had known her both as “Merely Mary Ann.” and Mrs. August Belmont. Old New York scintillated in diamond horseshoe and orchestra, Mrs. Robert Bacon, Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, Mrs. Reginald De Koven, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson. Mrs. Frederick Rhinelander, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Taft, Gen. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. Mrs. Stanford White •and Mrs. George Wickersham among others disregarded wind and rain for the concert. “I’ve been in New York since 1871,” Walter Damrosch said. “But I’ve never celebrated a fiftieth anniversary before. I can only do that once in a lifetime!” Laurel Wreath Bestowed. After conducting the big orchestra he looked a little tired, a little worn, but cheerful. Lawrence Tibbett had rumpled the doctor's white hair by dropping a laurel wreath on it. The Damrosch jubilee was given in response to an invitation from John Erskine, Paul Cravath, Cornelius Bliss, Harry Harkr ess Flagler, Felix Warburg, Richaid Welling and Marshall Field. The proceeds, went to the Musician's Emergency Fund. Last night had a national significance.

ONE of the curios of philately is the Dominican Republic’s 10 centavo special delivery stamp of 1925 and 1927. In design the

stamp is almost an exact duplicate oi the United States special delivery stamp—to the motorcycle, the colonial architecture, the delivery and even the bushes in front. Outside of the wording, the exception is the uniform of the postman. That, of the entire design, was made to conform with Dominican practice. Other countries, besides the West Indian Republic, have at times taken ideas for their stamps from American issues.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M''KENNEY Secretary American Bridge league DOES it pay to double a slam contract? Before answering that question, may I ask, What have you to gain? Certainly if a slam has been bid intelligently, you can not hope to defeat it more than two tricks; so to double a slam contract you stand to gain at best a few hundred points. My advice is to stop doubling slam contracts, because against a good player your double may give him just the information needed to make the contract.

Here's a hand that I have selectee from the recent eastern championship tournament, held in New York which, by the way, brings thi largest pair entry of any majoi tournament. Today's hand was played by ms partner, Louis H. Watson, New York. Mr. Watson’s remark at the end of the hand was, "If East had not doubled the contract, it would have been defeated.” a a a WEST'S opening lead was the jack of hearts. East had doubled, so, naturajly, he held the king, and in addition, Mr. Watson figured that he held at least four trump. If East held all five of the outstanding trump, of course, it would be impossible to make the contract. Therefore Mr. Watson assumed that the only chance he had to make his contract was to find West with at least one trump. So the first trick was won with the ace. The ace and king of diamonds then were cashed, and the losing heart discarded. Now a small heart w T as played, East’s king dropped, and South trumped. The ace and king of clubs were played and a club ruffed with the five of spades. The queen of hearts came next. At this point you can see that, if East ruffs with a small spade, South will over-ruff, lead a club and trump it, and will lose only one spade trick. However, East refused to ruff and discarded the queen of diamonds. South discarded his losing club. Now, if the declarer were to lead the eight of spades his contract would be defeated, as East would have the ten of clubs as an out card. To make the contract, the six of hearts was led from dummy. Again East could not ruff, so he discarded the ten of clubs. South ruffed with the six of spades and then, still hoping to find an honor in the West hand, played the ace of spades! West, of course, dropped the ten. Now the declarer had the king, nine and seven of spades and East the queen, jack and four. The king couldn’t be led because East would make two spade tricks. A small spade was led, East won with the jack and the declarer had the ten-ace position of trump over East, thereby making his contract of six doubled. (Copyright. 1935. NEA Service. Tnc.)

All appliances and decorations used in the Home Service Bureau are to be found in the Ayres store. a a a Visiting housekeepers, sent through the women’s work division of the Governor’s Commission on Unemployment Relief, are visiting poorly-equipped, motherless and | fatherless homes in approximately 30 counties in Indiana, and caring for the families there, according to an announcement today by Mrs. Letitia Hall Carter, state director of women’s work. The housekeepers are women on relief, who in giving service to needy families are providing their own livelihood. They go into homes which have been reported by inI vestigators in the social service dej partment to be in need of attention. Most prevalent are the cases where | the father of several children is trvj ing to keep them all at home under : the care of the oldest child, i In such homes the housekeeper | goes to the house early in the | morning, cleans the house, does the j washing, ironing and mending, and j prepares the meals. With the help Jof the case work supervisor, she works out a budget and a proper diet for the family, so that they may live economically. Supplementing to some extent the work of the visiting nurses, the housekeepei s also are called into homes where there are new babies, to look after the mother and other children, and manage the home. In homes where there is sickness, the housekeepers take full charge and stay until the patient is well enough to resume management of the home. In Lake County, 215 housewives have been taught to make bread by i visiting housekeepers, and in Mad- | ison county a laundry project has been set up in a community center where women also on relief rolls wash, iron and mend the laundry | gathered from motherless homes. More than IOOu families in Indiana now are being benefltted by this visiting housekeeper service.
