CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN DANA had hoard so much about the new office that it was impossible not to fcql curious and excited, but she had decided to wait until Scott was settled before paying: him a visit. It didn't seem dignified to rush down the first thing, as though she weren't accustomed to nice offices. Several week after Scott took the new quarters she entered leisurely. The lobby was well-filled. An extremely busy-looking young woman t a i “Is Dr. Stanley in?" The young woman, who was evidently looking up a case history in the files near the desk, scarcely glanced up. “There are several ahead of you,” she said “Will you wait?” “I’ll come back.” Dana answered. At the door she turned. She had come downtowm for this particular purpose. Perhaps it wouldn't be very long before Scott could see her. The girl at the desk had evidently forgotten Dana. She was giving some information to a man and woman who had just come in. This office assi: tant had an abrupt manner. She wasn't at all like Miss Lee, who was sweet and gracious, and who had married. Dana thought it must be trying, sitting there long hours, watching sick people come and go. Hearing people complain. It wasn't a very cheerful occupation for a girl. Dana crossed to a seat near the desk and picked np a discarded magazine. The girl was still talk- j ing to the man and woman. The telephone interrupted and she answered briskly. “J did deliver your j message, Miss Long. I expect he’s too busy to call. I’m sorry.” She hung up the receiver vi- j ciously. Danas startled face, close by, came w thin her range of vi- i sion. Instantly, the frown was erased and the girl smiled, murmuring apologetically. “I try to be patient, but this par- ! ticular person i.s so trying. Always calling when there's no good reason ; for It. And she never can understand why a doctor is too busy to talk to her.” “I don’t believe T have your name,” the girl went on. "Weren't i you waiting to sec one of the doctors?” “I've dccidcckuot to w'ait,” Dana j said, .■tun was a little ashamed of her vresentment. Os oourse Scott Wouldn't help Paula calling him. Or chuld he? Couldn't he make it clear that social calls were out duriJb office hours? ■Doubtless Paula was annoyed beptuse they had dropped out of everything. Whatever the reason, Dana didn't like Paula tagging on : to Scott. She didn't like the way the office girl had talked about i Paula calling when she had no good reason for calling. Always calling. The girl hadn’t mentioned the doctor’s name. But Miss Long always calling couldn't be anybody else but Paula. “I don’t think she’s dangerous,” Dana mused, walking rapidly. “Ma lbe she is. Maybe she i.s more dangerous than I think. But still she strikes me as a rather pathetic person. She's so restless and dissatisfied.” Dana succeeded in putting Paula out of her mind. She was in a j healthy glow from the walk in the brisk weather, and her eyes were' sparkling. An automobile swerved from the traffic, pulled close to the curb. Grace Richardson and Elizabeth Lorimer were in the ear. Grace said, “Why, Dana Stanley, don't tell us you are walking for exercise! There isn't any excuse with that slim figure of yours.”

Dana laughed. “No, I'm Just a miser. I was walking to save a nickel.” “Don’t tell us that either. When your husband has joined that money-getting group of medics hack yonder. Besides, Betty and I are getting ready to sell you tickets for the charity hall next month. May we put you dowr for a eouple? They're 51.50 each.” Dana had been about to put them off, which eventually would mean not buying the tickets that she couldn't afford. But something—what had happened a few minutes before, or perhaps it was what her grandmother had said —caused her to answer cordially. “I'll be glad to take a couple. Scott and I would love to go.” tt a tt THE charity bail was a brilliant success. It was chronicled as such in the newspapers.

But the charity ball to Dana was a disappointment. It had started out wonderfully. Scott was the best looking man in the room, she was sure. Dana had worn the blue chiffon without the jacket and felt beautifully dressed. She was "rushed off her feet.” To Scott she explained, “It's because we haven't been out for such a long time I feel just like a visiting girl. Boys always rush a visiting girl at dances.” “Are you telling me?” Scott smiled down at her. “I served my time rushing ’em. But that's not why I can't get two .steps with my wife.* It's because she’s the best dancer and the best looking girl on the floor.” “There aren't many girls here,” Dana said modestly. “Just a lot of j old married people like us.” Somebody touched Scott on the j arm and he relinquished Dana The man bowed. “You're Dr. Stanley. I aren't you?” “Yes,” Scott answered. “You're wanted on the phone. Someone pointed you out to me.” Ted Stansbury had come up and Dana danced with him. Fifteen minutes later, Ronnie cut in, taking Dana from Bill Richardson. “I’ve been trying to find you for ages,” he said. "But you were lost in the mob. Scott was called away.' I saw him in the lobby. He asked me to take you home.” Dana repeated: "Scott asked you! 'o take me home?” "Yes.” said Ronnie. “Any time i you are ready. I'll drive you out. i I've had plenty of this.” Dana said quietly, "So have I.” i a tt a IT was cold outside. Ronnie as- : sisted Dana into the seat and carefully tucked a fur rug about her. He was quiet and Dana was busy with her own thoughts. "Ron-

nie probably thinks Scott should have come back and given me some | sort of explanation, instead of I turning me over to him so casually.” Ronnie thought Dana's profile looked troubled, almost mournful. He lit a cigaret nervously: "Mind if I smoke?” Dana smilea at him: “When did I ever?” Ronnie said, “That's right. You are the same girl who used to run around with me, and was so darned sweet about everything. The same girl who got such a rotten deal from me.” Dana's lovely smile flashed at him in the darkness, "Tt was meant to be that way, Ronnie.” Ronr. e said in a low tone, “I wonder.” "It’s good to be friends again.” Dana said. "And I'm glad you and Scott like each other.” "When you say things like that, Dana, you make it hard for me. But there’s something I’ve got to say." "Please don’t say it, Ronnie.” “Yes! If ever a time comes when you aren't happy, you won t forget I'm here, will you?” Dana laughed, a little shakily. “Ronnie, you have some absurd notion that because Scott had to run off tonight he doesn't appreciate me.” “I'd never have run off.” “You’re not a doctor.” “Scott’s not so indispensable. The town’s full of physicians. Doesn't he owe you some consideration?” "I haven’t heard yet why Scott ran off,” Dana answered. "But I'm learning every day that doctoring isn’t just feathering one’s nest. It takes a lot of grit and self-sacri-fice.” "And sacrificing someone else, too,” Ronnie amended. He added grimly: "I’m an awful ass to talk like this. Forget it, Dana. I wasn’t trying to pull down your little playhouse. Only when I see Scott neglecting you. I see red—” They had reached her door. Dana held out her hand, surveying him a little wearily. "It was nice of you to take such good care of me.” Inside the apartment, she leaned against the door, listening to Ronnie’s retreating steps. She was trembling and there were tears on her lashes. It was horrid to be pitied! (Tn Bp Conlimied) Announce Open House The Rev. T. J.

What would you do? Please understand I do not want him to treat me like a baby. DAILY READER. Answer—ls you entered into this i marriage of your own free will and i accord, the best thing you can do is i to put forth every effort to make it j work before you run out on the j situation. You’re handicapped by j the gap between your ages, but it is j a handicap which you accepted with your eyes open. You actually may have an unworkable combination in your marriage. I do not know. For that matter, neither do you after so shori, a trial. If you walk out on this problem before you’ve tried to solve it, you by no means escape your troubles completely, for most of them go right along with you. You would be rid of an unwelcome husband, to be sure, but the attitudes and attributes within yourself which helped to make your marriage a failure would pursue you into your next relationship. Sooner or later you will have to grapple with your own faults or go down to defeat again and again. For example, it is exceptionally childish and silly of you to object to your husband's mention of his first wife. If you were at all smart you would listen to what he says about her and learn. You would get all the information you could and shrewdly put two and two together until you found out what made the marriage fail. Then you would know what to avoid with your husband. No doubt the problems of his first marriage whi£h he failed to solve have pursued him into his second marriage, which bears out my statement that the present drags the weight of the past behind it. Instead of learning what you can from your husband’s conversation and wisely using it for your own instruction, you simply go into a pet and feel abused. I imagine your husband has discovered that reference to his first marriage makes you jealous and that he enjoys lyis power to hurt you. Instead of pulling together you pull apart, and neither of you makes a real contribution to the success of your union.

the ace. The proper play now is to lead the nine of spades, and when West plays low, the jack is finessed. Declarer returns a small club from dummy and trumps in his own hand. If he trumps with the deuce of hearts, he will lose his contract. He trumps with the eight of hearts and keeps that deuce, as it may prove to be a valuable entry into dummy. Another spade is played. West wins the trick with a club shortening declarer's trump. Again the declarer must be careful and trump with the ten spot. Now the ace and king of hearts are cashed, picking up the outstanding trump. A small heart is led and won in dummy with the seven spot. The king of spades is cashed and a small diamond discarded by the declarer. As the spades drop, two more diamonds are discarded on dummy's long spades and, while the contract is only four odd. declarer. by watching his small cards, makes an extra trick, giving him five odd. Plays like these produce top scores in duplicate bridge. (Copyright, 1935. NLA Servic-j. Inc.l.

Revived Interest in Antiques Good Sign of Times

BY MARY MARGARET M BRIDE Bu .V/' 1 Service VIEW YORK. Dec. 31.—They’re at it again—the collectors cf old china, old glass, old furniture, who. because of finances for a brief space, abandoned their feverish scouring of the country's attics in the hope of finding hidden treasure. It’s a very good sign of the times, too, this rebirth of interest in antiques, says Mrs. Walter L. Ehrich. one of the most distinguished of American professional collectors. Mrs. Ehrich's specialty is English antiques, and she is also interested in modern china, silver and glass that some day day will become museum pieces. Mrs. Ehrich, who began to collect almost accidentally when she was left with some things on her hands that she had bought for a friend, warns the amateur who starts gathering antiques that there are many pitfalls. “I never buy anything if I am in the least doubtful about its authenticity,” she explains. "That is an especially good rule for the beginner to follow. Yet I made many mistakes when I started. So dees everybody—and learns important lessons from them, too.” tt tt a ACCORDING to Mrs. Ehrich one finds out how to distinguish the real from the fake only through much study of the real. She suggests a thorough course in the history of the period, many visits to museums where specimens are shown and finally dependence upon the most reliable dealer one can find. "You get to have an instinct for it,” she declares, adding, "but of course it is difficult to teach anybody else to have it.” Those who begin collecting antiques now will be less bewildered than collectors who have gone before because so much is being done in the way of education by museums and department stores. Entire rooms and even houses of a period are reconstructed and may be seen by anybody interested. For some time Americans have

been collecting the oftentimes crude maple and pine furniture of the nation's earlier days. Even saddlers' and shoe makers’ benches came to have a certain value during the frenzy. But more recently the vogue has been for furniture of the Victorian period, relegated to the garret a generation ago and now retrieved and taking on new value. a a a \ GOOD deal of the Victorian as most collectors will admit, was pretty bad, but the nicely curved rosewood chairs and sofas and the marble-topped tables of a certain time make what the deco-

rators call amusing notes in modern houses. A collector of this type of Victorian furniture suggests that such pieces be placed against plain walls, or if the flowered papers of Victorian times be used, that there be no patterns in curtains or upholstery. A good plan, too, is to avoid using the Brussels rugs of grandmothers’ time as a little too confusing. Oriental or plain modern rugs turn out better. The Victorian rosewoods are upholstered in the fine damasks of other days, but the walnuts may redone in white horsehair or maybe white leather.

The armchair which was meant for the father of the family, was the most comfortable furniture in the Victorian home. Mother's chair without arms, in order to allow free play to her hoopskirt, is best used for ornament only. Victorian vases may be converted into lamps, but the fringes and tassels of the era. together with much of the excess bric-a-brac is wisely omitted in the modern Victorian room. Irreverent decorators who seem to have more pious feelings for nearly any other period, have played all sorts of pranks with the Victorian, painting the walnut and using gay checked gingham with it.
