Paula Is torn b- an (motional a'orm over the news that 8 ott and Dana have married. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER NINETEEN (Continued) “How they kept it so quiet is a mystery,” Dorothy rattled on. “Coming on the heels of that perfectly desperate affair with Ronnie, nobody can understand it. Dana’s been seeing lots of Scott lately, but it was nothing to the way Ronnie has been mooning over her.” y “The only thing I can’t forgive is their not inviting me to the wedding,” Paula said. Her hand, clenching the phone was white to the knuckles. “For goodness sake, Dot, get the idea out of your head that I’ve ever felt romantic about Scott! You should know me well enough to understand that I'm wedded to a pencil and a paint brush.” Dot hung up, smiling. It had been thrilling to break the news to old Paula, who had it coming to her. Following Scott around with her pretense of “pure friendship" as she had. Succeeding in pulling the wool over his eyes, but never for a moment fooling any one else. Paula turned from the phone, a wild and fierce light in her eyes, CHAPTER TWENTY PAULA said to the housekeeper, “Fix me up something to drink. Something stiff. And bring another package of cigarcts. After that I don't want to be disturbed—not by any one.” Her directions were followed discreetly, and in silence. “Why don’t you say something?’ Paula shrilled wildly, her taut nerves snapping. “Didn’t you hear the news? Scott's married!" “Yes, I know,” Charlotte told her. ('l’m sorry.” "Sorry? What are you sorry about?” “I’m afraid he’s made a mistake,” Charlotte said quietly. “He had no business getting married when he’s just beginning his practice.” “Os course he hadn't. Paula gulped down the strong drink and made a wry face. “He'll probably regret it,” Char\lotte said. No one knew Paula so Well as her housekeeper, who had devoted herself to spoiling Paula, catering to her every whim, for ' years. “All right, now. Go out and let jne sleep.” When the door closed, Paula flung herself down. Deep, terrible Bobs were smothered against a pillow. She told herself that she hated Scott. She never wanted to see him again! The paroxysm over, she lay staling with glazed, painfilled eyes at the beautiful, ornate loom. It, might have been different, she thought, if she had allowed Scott to see whac was in her heart instead of hiding her love. She had been so afraid of losing his companionship that she had accepted .crumbs —the confidence and affection he gave her. But she had never let him look into that secret place of her heart, filled so long with nothing but him. “I knew every mood of his,” Paula thought desolately. “It will take her years to know him as I do. And yet she walks off with him after a few’ months and marries him!” /Perhaps if they had not gone to the club that afternoon, he would net have met Dana. Or if Dana had not had some misunderstanding with Ronnie Moore this wouldn't have happened. Maybe . . . maybe . . . there were these terrible pains in her head arain. They always came when Paula was emotionally upset. More terrible than ever . . . blinding her with pain. Setting her crazy. She got up and staggered to the dressing table. From her purse she took a small key, which she fitted into a jewelry case. From the jewelry case she lifted a small box. For a moment, she stared at the little white pill. She w f as remembering that quack doctor’s words. He had been called in one night at a hotel where she was staying. He had given her one‘ of these pills, withholding the name from her. It had brought relief from pain almost miraculously. For a price, he had finally revealed the name of it. But he had said: "I warn you to leave this alone. It means hellish consequences.” a a a ON the day Dana and Scott re'timed from their honeymoon Paula had gone shopping, looking for a wedding present. She considered silver and china. But she didn't know the patterns they preferred. She doubted that Dana and Scott had even selected patterns. Marrying so suddenly,

they couldn’t have planned anything. She decided on a beautiful and expensive lamp, the shade designed in an elaborate Oriental pattern. She had completed this part of her shopping expedition and was preparing to park her car before undertaking some other errands when a roadster pulled out from the curb. Paula recognized the occupants. Ronnie Moore—and Dana! After the first shock, Paula greeted them gayly. She felt excited. Here was Scott’s bride, back from a J 10-day honeymoon, and already meeting Ronnie downtown. Deep in her heart a voice whispered, “Patience, Paula—just have patience!” She could almost hear the words, singing themselves aloud. a u a THAT night Dana said to Scott: “I went shopping and Ronnie bought me home.” "That was nice,” Scott said. He was standing by the window, looking out. Dana thought his face seemed sober, troubled. His voice had sounded grim, too. “You don’t mind, do you?" Her voice faltered a little Scott wheeled from the window. “Great Heavens, no!” He laughed. “But you look worried!” “I am w’orried,” Scott admitted. “It’s Mrs. Wilkins. One of the prettiest, cleanest operations I ever performed. And now something’s happened and the incision must be reopened. There’s no accounting for things like that.” “Who is Mrs. Wilkins?” “Mrs. Wilkins is a very important person to you and .to me. My first surgical in this town. It would mean something to have trouble set in.” He added, “Then, too, she’s a nice old lady.” Dana felt an impulse to laugh. She had been so conscientious, nerving herself to tell Scott about that accidental meeting with Ronnie. And he hadn’t even been interested. It was hard to decide which was worse—a jealous husband or a husband who wasn’t even mildly jealous. Packages began to arrive next day. Soon the small apartment was overflowing with boxes, as Scott’s friends and friends of the Cameron family sent good wishes in the time-hon-ored way—in the form of packages from jewelry stores and gift shops. Dana found it an exciting pastime, opening the packages with Scott. Despite his teasing, she stanchly refused to untie a single ribbon alone. “It wouldn’t be any fun without you,” she said. They already had faced the perplexing problem of where to put these gifts in their limited quarters. “Gosh!” Scott exclaimed, “if this keeps up, we’ll need a house. Maybe I made a mistake giving up the old place.” “We’ll find places,” said resourceful Dana. “And you didn’t make a mistake. Think how nice it will be this winter without a furnace to bother with.” a tt tt NEVER, never would she let Scott know of that first, deep disappointment she had felt when he had brought her to this home. “This,” said Dana, her arms lifted high to Scott who was standing on a chair, packing wedding gifts on a high shelf, "is the penalty for marrying such a good-looking and popular doctor.” Paula’s present, which Dana called “Light from the East,” was one of those that was not packed out of sight. It looked very grand, and oddly out of place, in the modest apartment. Paula had dropped in the day before and then dashed home for a beautiful Oriental tapestry and two gorgeous vases. “I have no earthly use for them since they don't match the scheme of my place,” she said. “So please use them, Dana.” Neither did Dana think they matched the scheme of her apartment, but to refuse was out of the question. She watched, with misgivings, as Paula tacked the elaborate tapestry above the couch. Dana didn’t like it. She didn’t like the Oriental vases, or the Oriental lamp either. But what could she do about it when Paula was obviously trying to be friendly?

BY GERTRUDE BAILEY A DD to new ways to flag the stag line: sparkling shoulder straps, jeweled girdles, whirling skirts, pleats, white materials. This is no year to be timid in white tie surroundings. Evening gowns are dramatic. There are enough individual interpretations of white in satin, crepe, chiffon and taffeta—to forecast a white Christmas. It all started with Vionnet’s marble white dress earlier in the season. While bright colors and dark rich ones are not snowed under by any means, the whites are every bit as radiant in their new guise as colors. White with colored jewels is a highly favorite treatment at the moment. It is illustrated in the two evening gowns sketched, one a white chiffon with softly draped bodice and lots of fullness in the skirt, and shoulder straps and set-in girdle of square green stones. Match your fulllength velvet wrap to the jewel color for an important ensemble; unless, of course, you can match the gown with ermine.

It's going to be a white Christmas, says fashion, because white pleated gowns with jewels, like this one, are too dramatic to resist. Soft folds of ivhite chiffon held up by jeweled shoulder straps that match the set-in st omacher, for festive formats.

The all-pleated white formal has i\ daringly low neckline met by a set-in jeweled girdle that holds the pleats very slim around the waist and knots on the shoulders to narrow the pleats at these points. From the hips down the pleats swirl out like a skater’s skirt, breathtakingly lovely in the dance.

Protest Against Women Who Work Won’t Alter Situation, Jane Declares Children Have Difficult Time Finding Employment, Writer Admits, But Says It Is Due to Many Other Factors. Join in ail the discussions which i ntcrest yon! If you hare somethin* interesting to say your Utter will be published. Dear Jane Jordan—l would like to express my opinion about the letter signed "Musician,” (who thinks that men can’t get jobs because so many women work.) I think he is right. I can't see why our employers will employ a woman when a man or young man could do the work, and I can’t see why our department stores and other business concerns will employ married women—women with infants who need a mother's care. We parents have to sacrifice our lives to send our children to school and then when they go to look for work they hear noth-

ing but "are you experienced?” How did these married women get their experience? They had to learn. Why should boys and girls put their time in school when they can’t find work? Then these married women with husbands who earn good wages want our girls to do their housework and take care of their children for room and board only How can a girl, or boy either, work for room and board alone? How would they buy their clothes? I am just at the end of my rope worrying how our children will find work. A MOTHER LOOKING FOR WORK. Answer—You are inconsistent. First you lambast employers for hiring married women with children and then you admit you are a mother in search of work. Don't you suppose these other married women have the same reason for working that you have—that they work for money to give their children a start in life?

True, that when the children are out of school they have a hard time finding work with conditions as they are. but who blames women for that when they are only working to give other children a start in life? The fact that there aren’t enough jobs to go around involves so many world-wide factors and complications that it is futile to make women the scapegoat. How can you expect to find work when you honestly think you ought not to have it? What sort of employe would you make when in truth you do not want to work outside your own home? You couldn't put your heart in your work because you wouldn't be interested. Most of the women in business, particularly the ones who have made a suceess of it. employ other women to do their housework and take care of their children, thus increasing employment instead of decreasing it. I understand your discouragement but I think you are wrong in passing your defeatist attitude on to your children just when they need courage the most. Women can’t help your children by resigning from their jobs. Your children can help themselves by striving for that extra edge of superiority which surmounts tough obstacles. We still live in a world where the survival of the fittest is the rule. All you can do is your utmost to see that your children rank with the fittest. There always have been and perhaps always will be some people who go down to defeat. We simply have to scramble to see that we aren't one of them. You are caught in the wheels of change and you don’t like it. You were brought up to believe that woman’s place is in the home and you haven't adjusted yourself to the fact that she won’t stay in it. Your protest is powerless to change the situation. You must grapple with things as they are. I shall be pleased to print any other opinions on this subject that come in.
