CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE SARAH resigned herself to the Inevitable. It was a pity Lou had her delicatessen Job. and Louella was working •Tegular.’* But Louella wac smart. Maybe she would find a good woman to help, and they could manage to get Miss Dana married without her. The trail of the good cook wound about, was lost for awhile, and picked up again at Dr. Osborne's home, where a relative of the Jobless one was employed. Mrs. Osborne, passing through the hall, heard the colored maid say: "Well, maybe, Mrs. Osborne would let me off to go tell her.” “Where do you want to go, Lillie?” Mrs. Osborne asked. "Mrs, Cameron’s Sarah is sick inday. And Sarah’s granddaughter wanted me to get hold of my aunt. They need somebody real bad on acocunt of Mrs. Cameron's granddaughter marry* ig Mr. Ronald Moore tonight.” "You may get off awhile. Lillie, of course,” Mrs. Osborne said. She went into the dining room and Joined her husband. “Richard,” she said, “all that gossip about Scott Stanley’s divorced wife marrying Ronnie Moore is true. They’re -going to be married tonight.” Dr. Osborne frowned. “I’m sorry to hear that, i have an idea it will hit Scott mighty hard.” “You think he’s still in love with her?” “Not a doubt in the world of it. And she's in love with him. It’s one of those things that happen—two people breaking for some petty reason and never getting back together again. That’s why I trumped up an excuse when they called me to Mrs. Cameron. Thought if those youngsters were thrown together, something might work out.” His wife smiled. “Incurably romantic! Why don’t you tell Scott? Though, I don't suppose at this stage, anything could be done.” "Scott's one hundred and fifty miles away. He drove up to Easton yesterday for the state medical convention. He’s due to read a paper there tonight.” “Don’t worry any more about it,” Mrs. Osborne said. “Nothing could be done. Scott probably wouldn’t try to stop it if he were here. We are a couple of old sillies. She didn’t divorce him for six months, and he didn’t do anything. Then she waited another six months to marry. If they weren’t reconciled in all that time, you can be sure nothing could be done in one day.” “It's hard to see how she could have let Scott down. A fine boy like that, heading for a splendid career.” "Don’t begin on Scott,” Mrs. Osborne laughed. “Or we’ll never finish breakfast.” # St It AFTER her husband had gone, she found she was worrying about Scott. She wished it were not such a conventional world. If it were good taste to be frank and impulsive, she w'ould put on her hat and go straight to that charming girl who had seemed so happily married and then had impulsively walked right out of Soctt’s life. If she followed the promptings of her heart, she would drive over and talk to Dana. Sometimes mountains dwindled to molehills when women talked together. Several times she passed the telephone. Once she stood considering Its blank face thoughtfully. How quickly it could be aroused. What far-reaching power it really possessed. Perhaps, she should have encouraged Richard to call Scott over long

distance. It would be better, anyway, to have the news come from a friend than to find the announcement leaping at him from a newspaper. But Mrs. Osborne didn’t call her husband. She decided he had enough perplexities and anxieties without adding to them. At the Cameron home, Sarah’s substitute was being kept busy. Flowers were arriving. Great armfuls of chrysanthemums from neighbors. Big boxes of roses and other flowers from the shops, with cards inclosed. Before noon, the lower floor was a bower of blooms. "I can’t understand it,” Mrs. Cameron said, “somebody must have said something.” She didn’t really mind. She radiated importance and pride as she placed long-stemmed roses in tall vases. “Don’t try to pin it on me, Gran,” Nancy said in a hollow tone. “Maybe the joyous bridegroom couldn't keep it. Maybe the license bureau forgot and entered it on the record book today.” "Ronnie got the license at Lakeville,” Dana said, “and he told me it wouldn't be in any paper until tomorrow.” ’ “Well, that clears Ronnie, if he’s gone to soNnuch trouble to keep his marriage a deep, dark secret,” Nancy said wearily. Dana flashed out. "It's all silly! What difference does it make whether people know or not? I’ll be married in a few hours. What does anything matter?” Mrs. Cameron put down a vase and came over, looking hard at Dana. “I don’t think that has a nice sound, Dana.” “Please, Grandmother, don’t drive me. I’m marrying Ronnie. That’s what you want, isn’t it?” Aunt Ellen followed her sister upstairs. "Dana's in a difficult, dangerous mood,” Mrs. Cameron said. “If Scott Stanley walked in, I don’t know what would happen.” “I do,” Aunt Ellen said. “You do. Humph,” Mrs. Cameron

said, slowly. “I suppose you think she’s still in love with him. I suppose you think there is such a thing as real love. And that people go through their lives loving the same person! Well, you should know by your experience that they don’t. That they forget and are happy and are glad they didn’t lose their heads. I said, Ellen, you should know it’s best for Dana to marry Ronnie Moore and be fixed for the rest of her life!” Aunt Ellen’s face was scarlet. Whatever did Agatha mean? Had she lost her mind, talking in that fashion? Was she crazy, to conjure up before her her barren, comfortable existence and the loss of the happiness that should rightfully have been hers? "Where are you going. Aunt Ellen?” Nancy asked as her aurt came through the hall a few minutes later, her hat and coat on. “Something I forgot,” her aunt answered. “No, dear, I’m only going a step. I don’t need anybody to drive me.” “There’s somebody to see you, Dr. Osborne,” the girl at the desk at the physician’s office spoke through a telephone. "She wanted Dr. Stanley, and when I told her he was out of town, she asked for you. There are several ahead of her. But she says it’s an emergency, something that can’t wait.” “Send her in,” the physician said. Ten minutes later, smiling. Dr. Osborne pulled a telegraph blank from a pad and wrote something on it. Maybe he had been a fool to humor that romantic old soul, who had insisted that Scott must be told about the wedding. He suspected he had been glad to humor her. He’d been worrying about that wadding all day. Frowning thoughtfully, he considered the words he had written. Then he crumpled the message in his hand and reached for the telephone. (To Be Continued)

I have asked each of these new officers to send me his most interesting hand for 1935, so I could introduce them and their playing to my readers. Today I am presenting Gordon M. Gibbs of Bloomfield, N. J., new treasurer. Gibbs is also president of the New Jersey Bridge League. In giving me today’s hand, Mr. Gibbs said, “Just tell your readers always to remember that bridge is a game and you do not have to get the maximum out of every hand to have the most fun.” For example, seven no trump is easy, but it was much more fun trying to make seven spades, as Mr. Gibbs was forced to do when he played this hand, sitting in the South position. The Play A small club was opened and won with the queen. The king of spades was played and West showed out. Now it looks almost impossible to make the contract, as East holds one more trump than declarer. However, Mr. Gibbs played a small heart and finessed the queen. The ace of hearts was cashed. A small diamond was won with the ace and the king of diamonds played, dummy’s four of hearts being discarded. Then a small diamond was trumped in dummy with the six of spades. The ace and king of clubs were cashed, followed by a small club. East was forced to ruff this trick and South overruffed with the nine of spades. The eight of hearts was led and ruffed in dummy with the ace of spades. The last two tricks were won with the queen and jack of trump.

Black taffeta makes a princess dress with a great pointed collar, trimmed from neck to hem with red velvet bowknots. Fine white lace is used on a frock of dark green taffeta with a delightfully full skirt. Schiaparelli’s flying horses enliven a navy taffeta print dress, with which is worn pierced navy kidskin sandals and a navy felt bonnet tied under the chin with matching ribbon.

Mayfair Cakes Quite Delicious; Recipe Is Given Hovering around the tea table is continuing in earnest. If cakes somewhat on the biscuit side are preferred use this recipe for Mayfair tea cakes made with crushed peanut brittle. They are most unusual and quite delicious. Cream one cup of butter thoroughly. Add IV2 cups of peanut brittle finely crushed with rolling pin. Mix and add one tablespoon of ice water, alternating with lVi cups of flour. Flavor with one teaspoon of vanilla. Roll on floured board to one-eigth inch thickness. Cut in w afer sizes squares or with fancy cooky cutters. Bake in moderate oven. When done, while still hot, sift powdered sugar over both sides. Novel Spring Prints “Wild Horse” prints are a novel fabric for advance spring wear. Schiaparelli launched them at her mid-season collection in black crepe splashed with white and rose-col-ored horses. They are used to fashion simple dinner frocks.
BY GERTRUDE BAILEY AFTER 5 o’clock tweed taileurs do not live up to mink coats. The present pace for merrymaking set by the debutantes themselves demands that elegance be consistent after your fur coat has been thrown back and your escort has ordered cocktails. You c xe it to your fur coat to wear a glamour dress. It be coat length, but the fabric will be pretentious and the trimming brilliant. The last gasp is accordion pleated satin in precious gem colors accented with baguette replicas of the jewels at neck and belt. The pleating will make you look tall and slim like a fluted column and the richly colored satin will glow in softly lighted rooms, no matter how crowded. Topaz colored satin with a fine gold mesh belt and topaz colored stones, baguette buckle ensembles beautifully with mink, it is a high fashion color that will be just as good for Southern wear as for Northern wear. Dark emerald green satin with green stones and garnet red satin with garnet colored stones will supply the right degree of jeweled splendor to black or brown. The shoulders are covered, but there are no sleeves, another reason why it is more appropriate under fur coats than cloth ones. Then, too. the absence of sleeves adds to the formality of the style that can go on into little evenings that may take in the theater and supper dancing, which is more than you can say of most cocktail fashions.

Sees Alarm in Tardiness Man Shows Jane Says Inability to Awake on Time Is Major Fault. Do too need more light on your problems? Write to Jane Jordan, who will answer your letters in this column. Dear Jane Jordan —I am 18 years old. in my last year of high school. I have kept steady company with a very fine fellow of 22 for seven months. He is a perfect gentleman in every way and an ideal friend. He has gone three years to college and is very intelligent. We intend to get married some day because we feel that we can be
nappy together in ;very way as far is we two are concerned. But his mother dislikes me. She told me I wasn't wanted in his family and that she would see that we didn’t live happily together if we did get married. She doesn't want her son to go with anybody for fear he will get

married and leave her. He did have a fairly good job, but she wouldn't wake him up in the morning so he could go to work and he lost his job. She did this so he w’ould have to quit coming to see me. She tells him when to come and go and what to do. We want to be together some day, but I don’t know whether to tackle it or not. I’m afraid she will try to tell me what to do and boss ’is both around. It certainly will be some life to live through and I know it. He doesn't think she will say any more after we are married, but I have seen too many separations and divorces caused by in-laws, one of which happened right in my family. Please help me for I would like to hear your point of view. UNDECIDED. , # a Answer—Just what do you think

of a young man who can’t wake up and go to work without his mother's help? If, at 22. he hasn't accepted the responsibility for his own life, how can he take on the added responsibilities of marriage? No one is fired for being late one time. His tardiness must nave been habitual. We must infer from his conduct that he isn't a self-starter, but still is dependent upon his mother or her substitute to get him going. If I were in your place this phase of a young man’s character would alarm me far more than roping with an unpleasant mother-in-law. His naive assumption that his mother "wouldn’t say anything” after his m&rriage shows a painful lack of penetration into his own problem.- It indicates that he is accustomed to having his own way in the end. but he fails to realize that he never presented his mother with a real rival before. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, ’’ and this is particularly true of a widowed mother with an only son. It is not invariably true, of course, but all you tell me of this mother's attitude points to the fact that she would be a formidable enemy and I do not blame you for quailing before the prospects of marriage with her son. No one can tell you what to do. | For all I know the young man may Icome tQ and cut the apron springs | that tie him to his mother. If he v t does he will be an exceptional per- ! son. He would do well to get a job in some other town where he is on i liis own and not dependent' upon his . mother's direction. At any rate you might at least wait until he can hold down a job without depending upon liis mother to wake him up in the morning. Such behavior is so infantile that no mature woman could put up with it. Isn’t he even ashamed of himself? a u m Note to “Another Mother”— Thank you very much for your reply to Mr. Edward J. Kirsch's letter. Just because I do not publish it, does not mean that I do not appreciate it. Write again some time.
