CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN ONE magic word: “Engaged” and a miracle had been performed. It was as though the fairy godmother of forgotten houses had touched the Cameron home. And lo! the old place throbbed with vitality. Dana had waited until her grandmother was well, and then one day had broken the news. “We won’t tell any one,” she said. “We’re planning to go off one night soon, drive to Lakeville and be married. I couldn’t bear any publicity. And Ronnie doesn’t want it, either. Afterward we will go on a honeymoon. Take a cruise—that’s what Ronnie wants.” Line-s of care were lifted from Mrs. Cameron’s face. Aunt Ellen had tried to smile, Dana saw’, but couldn’t manage it. Sentimental old dear! Sarah's black face snone with excitement. Nothing could happen in the home without Sara knowing about it. “Not a word of this. Sarah,” Mrs. Cameron warned through long habit. Miss Dana and Mr. Ronnie don't want any one to know until after they are married.” “Yes, Ole Mis! Nobody could drag it out of me.” “There'll be lots to do. Get some cleaners in here tomorrow. I wish there was time to have those draperies taken down and cleaned. Have Jake get in that garden and rake up all those leaves. We’ll have the kitchen painted with some of that quick-drying stuff they use now.” Dana listened, a faint smile on her face. The news of her plans to marry Scott two years ago had been received so differently. She mustn't think of that now’. She must mark off those twc years. From now on it must be as though they had never happened. “Have you told Nancy?” Mrs. Cameron turned her beaming face toward Dana. “Not yet.” “She's upstairs in her room.” “I'll go up.” Dana said. Nancy had washed her hair and was sitting before the fire, letting it dry in a Gypsyish tangle. With the waving locks about her thin face, Nacy looked really pretty. Hen eyes were charming under her straight, level brows. And she had a pretty mouth. a a a IT was hard to tell Nancy, though Dana didn't know why. “Nancy,” she said, quickly. “Ronnie and I are going to be married.” That was the way. No preliminaries. Now it was over. Nancy’s face changed. All the softness was gone. And it w’as white and queer looking. Her dark eyes blazed.

“Ronnie!” “Yes,” said Dana bewildered. “You’re going to marry Ronrne?” “Nancy, you're not pleased?” “Pleased!” Nancy was laughing suddenly, hysterically. So Ronnie had been right that day. Nancy did hate him. Dana spoke stiffly, “I”m sorry you feel that way about Ronnie. It’s hard to understand how you could dislike him w’hen he’s so fine and when he likes you so much, too.” Nancy’s long lashes swept her cheeks a moment as she lowered her eyes. “I imagine you’re going to tell me you’re in love with Ronnie, Dana,” she said in a low voice. “Well, you can spare the words. But I suppose it doesn’t matter. Nobody knows the meaning of the word nowadays.” “I'm terribly fond of Ronnie,” Dana said in a low voice. “I’m through with the kind of love you mean. I hope I’ll never love like that again!” “And what about Ronnie?” “What difference does it make?” Dana said slowly. “Lots of marriages are one-sided.” Nancy said, “I think you are terrible. And I'm afraid I can't wish you happiness. I'm pretty certain you won’t be happy.” Her level, scornful voice followed Dana to the door. “You won't need happiness with Ronnie's money.” “I wdll be happy with Ronnie,” Dana told herself wildly. “Happiness is peace of mind and not a fierce hunger. It’s having beautiful clothes and a magnificent home and a yacht and high-powered cars that stretch from Magnolia to Elm-st. It’s sitting on a throne with everybody envying you and catering to you.” She was weeping her heart out. Because, in spite of the brave words, Nany was right. a a a DANA and Ronnie were to be married Friday. This was Wednesday, and all the things Mrs. Cameron thought should be done in honor of the occasion were in process of being accomplished. Even though Ronnie would be in the house only that brief while when he came to take Dana away with him, the house must be groomed and shining. As it always had been for the big events of its ancient and honorable history. Saren, forgetting her three-score years and infirmities was superintending with an immense energy and boundless enthusiasm. Her two aids had taken limp curtains down and put them back snowy white and crisply ruffled, ine whine of the vacuum cleaner had been heard in every room of the big house. Soap and water and polishing fluids; dust rags and oiled mops, had come into their own again.

Miss Melissa Wadley after spending the holidays at Woodshole, Mass., has gone to New York for several months. Mrs. Charles T. iviore:and is to be assistant hostess at the luncheon and bridge party, which the Indianapolis Athletic Club is to give for members and guests Tuesday. Miss Betty Amos. Edinburgh, is president of the senior class at Tudor Hall School for Girls. ♦

Sarah, in spirit, was back in the good old days, catching the contagion of her mistress’ mood. Mrs. Cameron was blooming under the stimulus of becoming important agaih. The doorbell punctuated the activities with exciting clangs. And then some big package from a de-, partment store would arrive, to be deposited in her mistress’ room by Sarah. Under no circumstances were the helpers to discover that Miss Dana was involved in all this preparation. Already, there had been surmising. One of the aids had queried; “Whut’s goin’ to happen ’round here? Never saw sich going-ons ’cept fer weddings.” “ ’Taint no weddin’ ’tall,” Sarah lied glibly. “Guess folks kin clean house good without havin’ a weddin’. La, you younguns don't know what cleanin’ is. When I wuz yo’ age you couldn't find a spec’ o’ dust wid a microbe.” “With a ‘micescope’ you means,” said Adella’s daughter Ruby, who was taking an ’edication.' tt St St BOTH Dana and Nancy had moved quietly in tl}e midst of chaos. Mrs. Cameron and Dana were shopping. Nancy had pleaded a headache and remained at home. Aunt Ellen heard her moving aimlessly about the house that afternoon, chased from one loom to another by the small cleaning army. “I’m going to the library and read an hour or two,” Nancy said. “Maybe when I get back I’ll be able to recognize my own room.” “Tt is cluttered,” Aunt Ellen said sympathetically. “I'll get Adeila in your room right away. Maybe it won’t take two hours. Your curtains are up and the rugs are down.” “Don’t worry about it,” Nancy said. There was a, disconsolate slump to her shoulders. “It’s a long walk to the library," her aunt said. “If you’ll wait awhile Agatha and Dana will be back and Dana could drive you there.” “No, thanks, I’d rather walk,” Nancy said. Her aunt stood at the window following her niece with anxious eyes. Nancy, who always moved so quickly, covering distance in her graceful, swinging walk, was setting out at a snail’s pace. At this rate, it would take her an hour to reach the library. During the afternoon the phone rang. Aunt Ellen answered. Ronnie was calling Dana. “Dana's down town. I think she'll be in soon “I'll drop by on my way home,” Ronnie said. Aunt EILn suggested suddenly, abashed by her own boldness: “Nancy's at the library reading. It's getting late. I wonder if you'd mind going by for her.” (To Be Continued)

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY. WM. E. M’KINNEY Secretary American Bridge League AT present a great deal of discussion and thought is being given to international bridge. On every occasion the American player has proved himself far superior to our friends across the sea. The English do not like the American bridge rules and English bridge writers are inclined to take a friendly jab at American players, whenever given the opportunity. However, I notice that in the British Bridge magazine the more prominent articles are written by Americans. Take, for example, the one written by F. K. Perkins, of Boston, which appeared in a recent issue of the magazine under the title, “Stripping Them Down.” This is one of the best I have read on the end play. Here is his first example: West opens the king of diamonds and, when a singleton shows up in dummy, he shifts to the queen of hearts. Declarer can see that, to make his doubled contract, he has to keep from losing two clubs and a trump trick. As West has doubled the contract, he undoubtedly holds the king of trump; therefore, the play of the hand is planned on this assumption. The ace of hearts is cashed and a small heart ruffed. The ace of trump is played, but the king does not drop. Now declarer ruffs a diamond, then returns a heart and ruffs. Another diamond is ruffed and then the last heart from dummy is ruffed. Now declarer is ready to grant West his trump trick, so he leads a spade, throwing West into the lead. West now has no play that will permit him to make more than one club trick. Although Mr. Perkins described

this play as being very simple for the experienced plaver, the hand could not have been made if declarer had not given immediate consideration to the elimination play. (Copyright, 1936. NEA Service. Ine.) Cotton Gloves Provided With Aid for Hands BY ALICIA HART A rich hand cream, packed with pink cotton gloves to wear at night, a nail polish in a rust shade, a combination compact and cigaret case and a lipstick that can be monogrammed are a few of the new and exciting cosmetic items in which you'll be interested right now. The hand cream certainly is the answer to your problem of keeping your hands soft and smooth in spite of cold winter winds. Made by a reputable firm and put up attractively, this is to be smoothed on lavishly at night. The gloves which come with it (at no extra charge) are to be worn while you sleep. The rust-colored nail polish (it doesn't peel and doesn’t seem to change color) is especially flattering to creamy skins. Even is your natural complexion tones arv pink instead of yellowish, this is a nice change and looks well with the new East Indian lipsticks with delicate orange lights. Speaking of lipstick, one with a blank space where the manufacturer’s name usually is, gives you a chance to have your own monogram put on. Incidentally, thl* makes an ideal gift. The compact which holds loose powder and rouge and half a pack of cigarets is set with red or green stones in geometric design. A slide arrangement makes it no larger than the average vanity case.
