NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER NINE IT seemed almost unbelievable the way Fa?e was playing into Irene's hands. As if Stephen Reagan could read her mind and wanted to help her. Yet she know no such :c?oa could be back of the invitation which was telephoned to her the fol.owing 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 sister.” From then on Ireno was concerned with only one question. Would Eartlett be there or wouldn’t he? It wasn't often he had been able to go dancing with her, but then her own time had been limited. Now that his mt rneship 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 regret when he saw it on the sweetheart he had jilted. It was wistful and demure and provocative, of swirling transparent white violets. "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 of view and buoyant unspoiled optimism. It was refreshing to be with a person whose intelligence was keenly alert yet who had also managed to retain his enthusiasm. a st a STEPHEN REAGAN JR, who i3 asked to be called Steve, enjoyed life. He liked to swim and dance and play tennis. He roue horseback and traveled in airplanes. ‘Td 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 Teggy were anything like her brother. Irene fold herself, she really wouldn't blame Bart. But Pccgy wasn't. So much was evident from Irene’s first glance at the impatient, petulant girl waiting in her father's library. Peggy's figure was too mature. Her skin bore the velvety sheen of youth beneath a ridiculous amount of cosmetics, applied heav.'ly 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 was the same age. seemed grown up in comparison with this other 18-year-old. "It's about time you were getting here.” Peggy exclaimed. "What’s your hurry?” Steve retorted good uaturedly. "Irene, this is the spoiled sister. Ppggv. I want you to meet Miss Gardner.” "How do you do?" drawled Peggy 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 every chair. It was a room to invite the soul and Irene, picturing Bart reading before the fire, thought achingly. "No wonder he's ambitious —when success means things like this." Was he going to be here or wasn't he? Then Steve, pressing a bell for the servant repeated the question 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. nan TEN minutes later Irene lifted startling black-lashed green e\es 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-consciouslv. 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 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 ! met her. dad. Flying to Seattle.” "Ar.d do you like it better than hospital work?” the surgeon continued. Bart was listening, too. Irene could see him watching her covertly. Much better,” sne replied gaylv. "It's quite the most thrilling experience I’ve ever had. "I waited to learn to fly. but daddy and Aye wont let me,” pouted Peggy "Yo*gSp|ted 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 as 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 gond to his study and Peggy and Stephen were getting their wraps. Bartlett and Irene were left alone. (To Be Continued)

Veteran of Music Feted in New York Walter Damrosch Honored for Fifty Years of Service. BY HELEN WORDEN Timr* Special Writer VJ-EW 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 Beimont bowed. She had just finished reading a resolution adopted by the Citizen's Commute, congratulating Mr. Damrosch on his achivements. "It seems a pity for me to talk," said Mrs. Beimont, 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 Jean 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 Harkness Flagler, Felix Warburg, Richard Welling and Marshall Field. The proceeds, went to the Musician’s Emergency Fund. Last night had a national significance. In addition to Walter Damrosch's name—for interest, there were the national committe members, Herbert French, Cincinnati; John Long Severance, Cleveland; Mrs. William Mac Clay Hall, Pittsburgh; Richard Tobin, California, and Leland Harrison, Washington.

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 of the United States special delivery stamp—to the motorcycle, the colonial architecture, the deliver:,’ 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. F. MKENNEY Secretary American Briilte l.eafiie 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 oest 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 selected from the recent eastern championship tournament, held in New York, which, by the way, brings the largest pair entry of any major tournament. Today’s hand was played by my partner, Loius H. Watson. New York. Mr. Watson’s remark at the end f the hand was, "If East had not doubled the contract, it wou’d have been defeated.” n tt tt WEST'S opening lead was the jack of hearts. East had doubled, so, naturally, 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 W’ould be impossible to make the contract. Therefore Mr. Watson assumed that the only chance he had to make his contract was to find West w r ith at least one trump. So the first trick was won with the ace. The ace and king of diamonds then w 7 ere cashed, and the losing heart discarded. Now a small heart was 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 r.oxt. 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 j 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 j the queen, jack and four. The king couldn’t be led because East would make tw r o 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. (Copvricht. 1935. NEA Service. Inc.)

adjusting the dollar to rising prices is a necessary factor in family budgeting. She is well-versed in the field of meat rookery, and in previous talks has given new recipes and methods, easily adaptable to even* home kitchen. Her lecture Tuesday will be on adaptability of ham to Easter menus, and will be given at 2 30. A fashion show of foods will be presented in the Ayres auditorium at 2:30 Thursday, when Miss Edna Sparkman, home economist for Westinghouse streamline refrigerators will present new and unusual ideas in food preparation. Miss Sparkman believes that while the average housekeeper is not interested in the mechanical features of a refrigerator, she is interested in how to use it best —how to save money. Her food fashion show will include new menus, new deserts and also instructions on proper defrosting of refrigerators, and an explanation of why this is essential to their care. The bureau, under Mrs. Clark's direction, has been installed to teach women how to use to the best advantage the household appliances which are shown on the seventh floor at Ayres’. To it Indianapolis women can bring all problems of home management, and receive advice. Each week Mrs. Clark specializes in certain kinds of cookery, and presents in addition a table, set for some individual type of entertaining. Last week she presented a Sunday night supper table, set for an informal gathering. It was decorated with a bright red linen cloth, with deep border of stripes of red and natural color linen, silver candlesticks, coffee service, cocktail service. and chafing dish. All appliances and decorations used in the Home Service Bureau are to be found in the Ayres store. nan 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 nn relief, who in giving service to needy families are providing their own livelihood. They go into homes which have been reported by investigators in the social service department to bn in need of attention. Most prevalent are the cases where the father of several children is trying to keep them all at home under the care of the oldest child. In such homes the housekeeper goes to the house early in the morning, cleans the house, does the washing, ironing and mending, and prepares the meals. With the help of 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 housekeepers also are called ir'o 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 visiting housekeepers, and in Madison 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 1000 families in Indiana now are being benefitted by this visiting housekeeper service.
