CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT rpHE rest of the winter Scott and Dana were left to spend much of their time alone. Memories, in the young married set, are not long for those who are not seen at parties, wherever the crowd gathers. It became generally accepted that Dana and Scott had stopped playing and invitations dwindled. Neither Scott nor Dana regretted this. Both realized the situation was of their own making and were sure that social life could be picked up again when finances justified it. Paula Long was the one w T ho was most difficult to .persuade that the young Stanleys were happy without so many invitations. Paula argued that social life was essential “to get ahead." Dana and Scott compromised by plaving bridge once or twice a week. On rare occasions they accepted an invitation to a larger party because they were not sure Paula was entirely wrong when she insisted it was important for Scott to be seen at smart functions. Secretly—and the thought brought a bitter thrill—Paula believed Dana was a little jealous of her. Paula came to the conclusion that Dana preferred staying at home with i'3cott to exposing him to the attractions of other women—particularly herself. She assured herself that her only motive was a desire to help Scott build himself up in the community and she refused to face the truth—that she was influenced by desperate loneliness and the urge to find some means of seeing the man she loved. Dana, on the other hand, was glad when, as the days passed, she and Scott saw Paula less often. She didn't actively dislike Paula, who always seemed friendly, yet she corJdn't bring herself to really like her. There was between them the intangible feeling of distaste of a person whose motives are frank and open for one who is subtle and secretive. Paula seemed always to be building a protective screen, behind which she did her cleverest work. # Scott was busier than ever, though being busy wasn’t especially remunerative. “It's being busy with the right people that counts," Dana decided wisely. She would never have dared to voice such a cynical thought to Scott. She had nad one lesson. It was after the charity ball, when Scott had explained that he had deserted her that evening to attend a “conference." “You left me just to go off and talk to a lot of doctors about something?" Dana had asked in a slightly aggrieved tone. “It wasn’t an ordinary conference,” Scott explained. He had been called in by a group of physicians on a case of blood poisoning, or “strep” infection. The subject was one to which he had devoted much study and, in this particular case, the other doctors had decided to use Scott’s treatment. “But I still can’t see why you had to be called from the dance," Dana had persisted. “Wouldn’t the next day have done as well?" “The patie it was Dr. Osborne’s wife,” Scott answered slowly. “Oh!" Dana said, “that’s different.” # tt tt SHE had felt mean and small when Scott replied sternly, “If it had been the scrub woman in our building I’d have gone just the same, Dana." Mrs. Osborne was improving, taking sun baths now, and everybody said that Dr. Osborne credited Scott with turning the tide of her illness. There was some talk chat Scott might be asked to write an article on the case for a medical magazine. As for Dana, she was quite certain Scott would some day revolutionize all existing ideas about medicine!

Scott had joined the local medi- ' cal asscoiation and, tonight, was | away attending a meeting of the county group 50 miles distant. Dana had felt mildly excited that afternoon when Grace Richardson called and invited them to a dinner party. When Grace learned Scott was away, she insisted that Dana must come anyway. “Just because your husband is out of town is no reason why you should play lonesome lady at home, Dana.” "No,” Dana said finally, “I suppose not. It isn't much fun.” “That means I can count on you to complete the party," Grace said. “I’ll send somebody to pick you up.” “I’m celebrating an. anniversary without Scott!” “Goodnessf have you been married a whole year?” Dana laughed. “Only seven months, but we usually celebrate by partying on the 22d. Scott has been dear about observing the day.”

BEGIN HERE TODAY Forces are at work that threaten the happiness of lovely Dana Stanley and her attractive husband, Dr. Scott Stanley, a struggling young physician. Dana's grandmother, who had hoped she would marry rich Ronald Moore, is eager for the marriage to go on the rocks. Paul Long, who has been hopelessly in love with Scott for years, also hopes the marriage will fail. Dana's half-sister. Nancy, is deeply in love with Ronald. Knowing he loves Dana, she masks her feeling behind an antagonistic attitude. Paula goes to Scott’s office and asks him to prescribe for a severe headache. Scott is puzzled by Paula's hysterical description of her suffering. Paula tells Dana a >ut having luncheon with Scottt. Dana and Scott almost quarrel when she questions him later. Mrs. Cameron tells Scott Dana is making a martyr of herself by her strict economics. Scott is called away from a dance for a professional conference, and Ronnie takes Dana home. Dana wonders, troubled, if Ronnie is pitying her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

It happened that the evening session of the orie-day medical meeting had scarcely opened when Scott’s memory stirred. He glanced at his watch. Seven, and today was the 22d! Dana was at home. Poor kid, she had sat at home a lot of evenings lately. Unobtrusively he left the hall, got into his car and drove off. With good luck and no blow-outs, he should walk in and surprise Dana by 8:30. Then he decided to drop by the office, telephone and round up a bunch. They'd all drop in together and make the surprise bigger and more complete. They could play bridge, or maybe go out some place to dance. Anyway, it was going to be fun surprising Dana, who had doubtless expected to spend a lonesome evening waiting for him. The 50 intervening miles were covered without mishap, and Scott let himself into his office and got busy on the phone. Several of those he called were out. After the fourth call Scott was disgusted, almost ready to call it a night and start for home. As a final effort he called the Richardsons and asked for Bill. The servant who answered hesitated, “Is it important, sir?" “Very important,” Scott said in a tone that generally got results. It did this time. After a moment Bill answered, “Why, hello, Scott. Thought you were out of town at fe, medical meeting. Don’t tell me you were alibi-ing on your wife!” “Nothing of the sort,” Scott replied. “I was at the meeting, got bored and drove in. It happens to be our anniversary, old man—well, a kind of anniversary. I thought I would surprise Dana by getting up a party and dropping in on her? May I count on you and Grace?” Bill was chuckling. He was, judg-

ing from the sounds at the other end of the telephone, more than ordinarily amused. “You say you wanted to surprise Dana?” “What's so funny about that?” “Keep you shirt on. It happens that Dana's right here, at a dinner we’re giving. We were sorry you were out of town. Can’t y n come on over? We can always put in an extra plate.” “No thanks. Bill.” So Dana was at the Richardsons at a dinner party. Having a great time. Not lonely at all. “Who brought her?” Scott asked unexpectedly. He didn't like the sound of it himself. It had almost the sound of checking up on Dana. “Grace asked Ronnie to drop by for her.” “Well, thanks,” Scott said. “I’ll see you later.” u tt HE hung up. But the sound of Bill's amiued laugh still rang in his ears. He might as well have stayed at the convention. If he had, he would never have been the wiser. He would have found Dana at home, sleeping. Perhaps he would never have known that in the meantime she had been having a great time attending a dinner party. And Ronnie had escorted her. What was wrong with that? Nothing. Nothing at all. But still Scott didn’t like it. It was all right if he asked Ronnie to take Dana home from a dance, but just because he had done that once was no reason everybody in town should assume Ronnie was Dana’s official escort, if her husoand weren’t around. Scott smiled a little, perceiving the trend of his mood. It was silly to be jealous. He had never felt the slightest trace of jealousy before, and here he was, sore as hell because Ronnie was with Dana. The house was warm, but strangely lonely. Scott found himself whistling, but it was a rather melancholy kind of whistling. Some of Dana’s things, bits of satin and lace were lying across a chair in the dressing room, showing that she had dressed in a hurry. The telephone rang as Scott settled himself under the reading light with a magazine. Paula said, “I’ve been trying desperately to scare up a bridge game. Won’t you and Dana take pity on me and come over?” “Dana’s at a party,” Scott said. And told his story. “Well then, you come Sallie and Bart Hildreth are on their way. Please do, Scott. I promise we’ll stop early.” Scott said, “Well—all right. Count me in.” (To Be Continued) RESORT PREPARES FOR CHARITY BALL BY JOHN LODWICK ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Jan. 1. —This resort’s most important social function, the annual charity ball for the Crippled Children’s Hospital, probably will set anew mark for color and brilliance as the fashionable set and the military colony gather at the Hotel Vinoy Park the night of Jan. 24. Mrs. Donald B. Grady, Ridley Park, Philadelphia, is general chairman for the event, which is military in character, attracting officers of the Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Air Corps attached to units in this locality. The annual President’s ball, held on the birthday of the nation’s chief executive, is to take place Jan. 30 at the Coliseum Academy. Alexander H. Findlay, Philadelphia, known as “the Father of American Golf," has selected St. Petersburg to introduce a modified golf game known as pologolf. The game is restricted to about two acres of ground. Rules similar to those of standard golf are followed. Mr. Findlay visited in Indianapolis last fall when Joyce Wethered, English golfing star, appeared in an exhibition.

Miss White and was one of the most interesting of the tournament. The Play When the spade was opened, Miss White, sitting in the North, could see that the hand was a spread for five odd. How to make six was the problem. She figured that if the diamond suit would break she might get a discard. Now the problem was how to keep the opponents from cashing their ace of hearts. Miss White reasoned that, if she played a low spade from dummy West would ■win the trick and might return a diamond to dummy's weakness'. If this did not work, nothing was lost anyway. When the low spade was played West won the trick with the jack of spades and shifted to a diamond. This trick was wen with the king. Two rounds of trump were taken, the ace of diamonds cashed and now dummy's ace and king of spades were played. On the king of spades Miss White discarded the eight of diaDE MOLAY MOTHERS TO HOLD MEETING A social hour is to follow the regular monthly business meeting of the Indianapolis De Molay Mothers Club at 2 Friday at the home of Mrs. Frank S.

In the panel above, left to right, are: A wide gold bracelet with Florentitie colored jewels, a jeweled beetle, a petal velvet scarf-collar, a gold mesh evening bag, any or all of which would delight the college daughter.

BY GERTRUDE BAILEY YOUR college daughter wants prom clothes, you can count on it. Next to a sparkly white chiffon dress and an ermine trimmed evening wrap she wants a shiny evening bag, a wide bracelet, some brilliant clips that she can arrange in her hair, and frightfully sheer sandal hose. If there is any question as to which kind of evening wrap she would like best, look at the one sketched on today’s page. It is floor length and made of Lyovel velvet, the kind that is stiff like Lyons velvet rather than thin like transparent velvet. It is fitted in at the waist and has sleeves that are cut full above the elbow. Os course the real ermine in the little round collar that ties with a velvet bow and in the wristlet cuffs will catch her eye first. The wrap is lined throughout with heavy white satin. We go into all this detail because a more festive, young and pretty evening wrap we have never seen. The debs feel the same way about it, for of all the styles in the misses’

Mrs. Jameson Is Carrying on Family Custom Mrs. Ovid Butler Jameson is receiving her friends today at an open house, a family custom she has continued since the death of her mother, Mrs. John Tarkington. She has her home decorated with holly and other seasonal greenery. A large lighted Christmas tree is surrounded by a group of smaller trees. In the dining room the table is arranged with lilies and yellow roses and in the drawing room and library red roses are used as decorations. During the afternoon an orchestra is to entertain the guests. She is to be assisted by Mesdames Booth Tarkington, John N. Carey, Albert J. Beveridge Sr., Edgar H. Evans, Albert J. Beveridge Jr, j James Ogden, Donald T. Jameson and John T. Jameson. Miss Mabel Wicks, Mrs. Charles N. Williams and Mrs. Carey are to preside at the tea table. Mrs. Booth T.

evening wrap section, including the ermine-hooded wraps at higher prices, this one is the first choice of the dancing daughters this season. tt a WE did not sketch an evening gown, but we want to tell you that there are lots of white chiffons about, some pleated, others sprinkled with brilliants, others accented with heavy jewels at the belt and shoulder straps. Those that have very full skirts, no trains, are the most popular with the girls, but how the stag line likes the white dresses with fringe! She will adore a square evening bag of fine old mesh that closes on hinges, knobbed with colored stones at the top sides. She will be impressed with a wide gold bracelet with Florentine colored stones set in filligree. A CHIFFON evening hanky with a narrow border of pailletes, colored suede evening gloves that match the jewelry, and sheer sandal hose with paillete strap sandals to show them off are sophisticated accents that can be added to the gift list. The other gadgets sketched in the panel above are not necessarily for evening, but they are the novelties that have come out in fashion since her last shopping trip. There is the jeweled beetle bug that girls like to pin on their suit lapels, there is the petal velvet scarf to be worn as a collar, and there are the scarf and belt of paisley metal, colorful, sinuous and exciting.

[Don’t Hurry in Marriage; Girl, 15, Told Jane Says Wedlock Is No Escape From Situation. How do'll your prob>m look lo ono who is not living in the thick of it? Writ# to Jane Jordan and read her opinion in this column. Dear Jane Jordan—l arrra girl of 15. but owing to size and features I often am taken to be 18 or 19 years of age. About five months ago I met a very attractive boy of 19. He is from a good family and is very religious. He has approached me on the subject of marriage and while

we have both discussed this sincerely, I feel I should have your advice. My mother is a widow and we are living with my brother and his family. Naturally, our presence in their home creates more or less domestic discord, which is not at all infrequent in

cases where mothers arc forced to i make their homes with their daugh-ters-in-law. I feel as if I am the cause of this, inasmuch as my schooling keeps us at my brother's home. My mother’s father has a nice home in the country and I know that she is welcome to make her home there any time she may see fit. Bearing this in mind, along with the fact that she would consent to our marriage, and the fact that my prospective husband has a very good position, I am inclined to think that an early marriage on my part would be justified. It is in this respect that I am seeking your advice. * BLONDIE. Answer—Did you ever hear of jumping from the frying pan into the fire? If you fail in one grade at school do you skip it for higher and harder work in order to ease your problem? When a 15-year-old girl tries to avoid an unpleasant home situation by getting married this is exactly what she does. The smartest thing you can do is to make the best of your living conditions instead of rushing on to harder problei#. I do not blame your sistcr-in-law for feeling burdened by the presence of her husband’s relatives. It is a very awkward situation for vou, calling for the utmost tact and consideration for the family which has given you a home in your need. You do not have to be the cause of discord, you know. Unless your sister-in-law is an inhuman creature, you can win her over to your side by showing her so much consideration that she feels you are worth the trouble you cause. In learning to get along with a person such as your brother's wife, you are equipping yourself with the very sort of tactics you are going to need when you ac- ; quire a husband. That is, you are training yourself : to enter into the problems of an- ! other with an earnest desire to help j solve them. ! A 15-year-old girl smart enough | to write such a well-expressed letter should also be smart enough to put up with things as they are until she has completed her education. It won’t be so many years until you will be completely independent. A little later, if you and your mother both worked, couldn’t you two live alone? Wouldn’t it be wiser to wait until you have the poise and judgment to select your husband without being influenced by the desire to escape from something you don’t like? Marriage is an event of major importance in the life of any human being and should not be rushed into in the false hope that it will right all wrongs and provide a panacea for a couple of youngsters trying to force their own growth.
