"WIFE IN CUSTODY" By BEATRICE LUBITZ CIIAPTKK XXXVI Aftpr flliinor thjr walked oil ine bourclwalk, urni in arm. A miat hiuiK over the moon und ethcrinllx cd the crowds so thut they seemed to bo floutliiH along the boardwalk. The ocean wua u lunli blark velvet iibytis, Htill us a dlhh of wdU'i.

I want us to live our own lives as we see fit. I want my baby to be my buby. I want to briuj? her up us you and I know to be right. If we make iniutukcu, It's our life. It's our baby. I want freedom. Walt, 1 want us to be free! 1 want us to come and ro and do as we ji lease. I don't want them to In terfere. I can't ntop you from list ening to them, but if, you love mo you will not bo Influenced by them and guided by them. You and I und no one elite on God's earth Bhall make the decisions that guide us. Do you understand, Wuli?" "Voh, I do. I swear to you that I shall nover let them interfere UKain." "Oh, Walt, you qm niako me so happy." "And you me.' ' ' , j The week pawned like rf dream. They wullced and swain lind danced and pluyed lunula. They spent hours nankins In the sun, Oracle crawling over them and covering them with sand. ' 1 They talked and talked. Helen told III in shyly at first and then more freely of the time when they had Insulted and plagued her. Most, of the stories he heard for the flrt 'tlino and he was out raped. : 'Why didn't you tell me?' he usked again and again. "Waller, this Is our declaration of independence. Nothing, nuth Iiir cah ever corao between us ugain!" ; 1 - They wont back hand In hand to the hotel to dress for dinner. Wal ter's fuce was burned to a deep brown und his eyes wero clear and sparkling. His brow 'was Bmooth and beneath his scalp' was a white line thut had escaped the aim so that the tun was like a 'veil. Helen had never seen hi in look fo ullve, so' buoyant. Never hud his step been so springy. She waited ut tho elevator while ho went to the desk to not the key und the mall, tihe smiled and nodded again and ugain to hotel acquaintances. Sho looked up to see him coin ing toward her. She waved, then dropped her hand midair. His face was gray, his eyes glassy; the old Walter, the Salon Walter tho Wal ter who ml ted his fmehend and gnawed helplessly on his mustache shuffled toward her. 'What Is it?" Ho handed her the to! eg rani with out a word. Irene's strident voice seemed to fill the lobby. "Come back at once. Mother had a svrlous stroke this morning stop might be fatal. Irene." "I'll go and puck, Walt. You see about trains." "Oh, Helen, after all I promised you!" "This Is different, darling." "God bless you, Helen. You're one in a million!" 'I'll round up Fredericks and the buby. Now go quickly und make reservations." They arrived In New York on New Year's eve. It was clear but bitterly cold and Helen's blood, thinned by three weeks in the south, felt like Ice In her veins. Walt bundled theiu into a cab and in a few minutes they were back ii the apartment. Walter hud wir ed Mamie so that dinner was ready for them. In half an hour Grade was crawling about the ' apart ment und tripping over rugs und rediscovering her toys. It was as tf Ho'en had never been uway. Wal ter left her with a long fervid kiss to rush over to his mother's. For two weeks Auastasla's health was the greatest concern of the Hlleyn. Walter was ut his mother's bedside every day for un hour or more, holding the old ludy's hand and assuring her thut in u few more days she'd be good us new. Hy the end of February, Ana Htusiu wus able to sit in a chair hy tho window and drive the nurse frantic with her demands. ".Mama Is recovering," Irene de clared sardonically as the nurse resigned and another hud to be found. "Thai Is tho final proof." "Thank the Lord," said Walter. , "Thank God," Irene echoed, "Uy tho way, how Is Helen? No one over sees her any more." "She's busy and happy." "Indeed. Hhe hasn't been here hardly at all." "Nonsense, she's been in every day." . "Yes, sho bree.es In like a cine mu queen, stays a few minutes und btOWB." "Mamma Is satisfied with her visits," Waller rj.-Joined stiffly. "And since it doesn'l directly con cern you, I'll thank you to mind your own business." "My Lord, what a speech! You ought to run for office. And since when are you to dictate to me who and what is my business?" "I'm not. You can jaw your head dff but not about my wife. And not in me. Hee." He turned on his vjy . , ft At .

"b's cone off bis bead!" 1 Now that Agnes Masker bad her afternoons free she spent only morn ins at the salon, she bad mora free time than she had ever had In her life before. At first she didn't quite know what to do with It and it bung heavily on her hands. Auastasla's stroke came as a god -send to Agnes for at least it gave her something to do. IS he sat at her mother's bedside and read to her. Not that this was particularly agreeable to either of them. Aunes yearned to Improve Anastasia's , taste in literature which leaned to scandal articles und particularly confession stories. During Anastasia's Illness Agnes had seen practically no one, but now that her mother could sit up and thumb the tabloids and look at the pictures by herself, she no longer needed Agnes. Agues was grateful, when she received a call from her old friend, Llertha Crnn dall, now Mrs.' George Cnieman, At luncheon the next day Bertha listened sympathetically to a long account of Anastasia's stroke and recovery. "It's wonderful. IJut listen, Ag nes, I've got to tell you something too. I sweur I haven't told a soul but It's been on my conscience. I must tell you. You're so wise and clever. I know you'll do what you think best. Listen, Agnes, when George and I were in Miami luHti mouth we eaw your sister-in-law. "Yes, I know. She and Walter spent nearly a month there." . A note of envy crept into her voice oven though she spoke casually. I "Your brother was with her?" : Bertha asked In amazement, then ! added, "Old tbey go down togeth er, Agnes?" I "What do you mean? No, as a matter of fact, she went down alone with the nurse and buby. The baby had a cold. Walter went down a week later." "Ah," Hertha cried triumphant ly, "that's different! That makes it all too clear.' "What, what do you mean, Bertha?" "Agnes, we saw Hplen down there with another man," she said slowly. "I don't believe it! Besides, H may have been just a casual ac quaintance." ' "Yeah? She was clinging to his arm, and lnuglilng Into his face . ." "No!" Agnes paled. "Yes. And do you know who the man was, Agues?" "No, who was It?" she gasped. "Agnes, It was Dirk Terbuuo Irene's husband!" "Oh, my lord!" "Agnes, tako some water, quick. Oh, my dear, you mustn't let your self go liko that." Apnea' lips moved swiftly in si lent prayer. "Tell mo all' about it from be ginning to end. Berth." she gasped. Nothing loath, Bertha told the Rtory wltli embellishments and ad ditions of her own. Agnes listened, her face a mask of determination. Her voice when she spoke was harsh with excitement. "Listen, Berth, swenr to me on the memory of your dead motnert that you II never breathe a word of this to a soul, unless 1 suy you may." "i swear to heaven," Berths qua vered, frightened by tbe jfleain iu Agneu's eye. "We've bad euougb scandal in the family with Stella. We can't let It touch Walter and Irene too. But she'll answer to me! I'll see that she is justly punished," Ag nes babbled. "Ttial rotten, sneak ing little worm." "I want to go to Poland," Ana stasla Insisted, "I .want-to see my grundfather's farm lu Krakow be fore 1 die." "Do you think she could, doc tor?" "1 don't know about Poland but tbe ocean voyage would do her a world of good and the baths at Nuuheim, 1 think, would prolong tier life." . "What do you think, Irene?" Walter asked afier the doctor bad gone. "1 think It's a good Idea and she's bo set on going." The five Kileys were there this , Sunday afternoon. Each one hud Just dropped in for a minute to see their mother and to heur the I doctor's verdict on Anastasia's i sudden desire to go to Europe, I "It will be an awful Job to get her there, Stella pondered. "Why? The chair cun bo wheel' ed and the nurse can go along." "She can't go alone, with just the nurse, Kthet Someone's got to go with her." "Not I," Agnes shrugged. "We get along like cat and'dog. Besides, 1 wouldn't risk my life on a boat." "Doesn't Christian Science work on boats?" Kthel asked slyly. "Shut up, Kthel. Agnes is out of the question." Irene consulted her diamond watch. "Hurry up and get this setlted. I have a dlnner)arty." "How about you going with mama, Stella? You're footloose and I'll give you money to get yourself some swell clothes in Paris." "Leave my work and go with mammu!" Stella shuddered. "Be sides I'm going to Lake Placid next week for the sports." "What about you, Kthel?" "I'd be crazy to get a free trip to Kurope, Walter darling, and if you don't think I'm fed up with the salon, you're crazy, but Eddie wouldn't go with mamma. They're poison to each other and I won't leave Eddie." "lie won't run away, my dear, not while you're supporting him so nicely." "You shut up, Irene." "Be quiet, Irene, please. Now one of us has got to take , her. Good Lord, mamma's got five chil dren and not one of them will tuke her to Europe when her very life is at stake." "t'an the heroics, Walter. What about you?" "Yes, what about you?" Walter looked startled at his sis ters. "The business got along while you and. your wife lolled a,t Palm Beach or Miami Beach, whenever it was." t Walter stared at Irene. His face For the first time In many years the beat of tom-toms was beard over tbe historic Lake Tahoe reeion as more than seven hun dred Indians, representing eigh teen tribes, gathered together hi a spectacular ceremonial dance. Their tliroc-hund red-odd tf pees lined the curving shore between Emerald Bay and Itubicon Point, a sandpit which divides the mountain-cleft bay, famous In thousands of lithographs, from Lake Tahoe. The Indians were gathered from California, Nebraska and Wyoming reservations. A few were from New Mexico and eighty were drafted from vicinities near Los Angeles. They were rounded up by scouts for what is reported to he the most spectacular dunce se quence ever filmed the "Totem Pole" number for "Rose Marie" which opens Sunday at the Indian theatre. With Jeanette MacDonuld and Nelson Kddy co-starred this giant production was made by the same producer who made "Naughty Mar ietta." The set for this dance comprised set. "Why not! I've never been to Kurope. Helen and I hud a good time iu Florida. It wus Miami Beach, my dear." Irene bowed sardonically. "It'll be a wonderful trip for Helen and me. Okay, mamma! You're going with -us," Walter de cided. Walter could hardly wait to tell the news to Helen. "When, do we sail?" She waved a handful of socks that she was repairing. "I knew you'd bo pleased." "Pleased! I'm thrilled! Oh, Walter, isn't it marvelous! We'll be alone together!" , "Well, mamma'U be with us," he hesitated. "Mamma's all right," she conced ed. "Mamma's fun! Oh, we'll all have fun!" Walter kissed her. "You darting, you angel! My own sweet blessed girl!" There followed a month of fe vered preparation. They were booked to sail on March 29, when one day about the second week in March, Helen's suspicions were suddenly and ruthlessly confirmed no she became nauseated over her breakfast. "What is it, darling?" "I'm goiug to have another baby." "Do you mind, Helen darling?" "Not awfully. 1 think it's rather nice. Do you?" "Mind!" He caught her to him and they waltzed decorously out of the bathroom while he sang the "Blue Danube" badly off key. 1 ,(To be continued) ) 1 " i STRAIGHT WHISKEY VO PROOF Ai you p-ftr In BOURBON or RYK II bun (ho KHIK'UY MAK of MIIIT WE'D like to show you what this liuick owner meant when he coined that phrase about the Buick Speciul!

Focused on this, from "Paral lels" sixty feet bigh, from boles in the grouud, from anchored barges, trees and a nearby mountain ridge, were twelve cameras, each manned by three experts and their assistants. Tbe Totem pole set Itself was the result of gruelling work. State property, it was first nec- cessary for the studio to receive permission to use it. Then fitty laborers and technicians, brought from the Culver City plant and drafted from local carpenters. began work to level a space and anchor a platform flat as an anvil and two hundred feet In diameter. Around and about this platform lynamite men blasted holes into bedrock. The telephone company supplied Its own men to sink and secure extra-length telephone poles. From the studio were shipped the plaster figures of hideous und grinning animals which were attached, polished and puiuted In vivid colors. These figures, copied after actual totem poles in Alaska, trace the lineage or the tribes. On and about this set the giant number was executed. The main body of the dance is the work of Chester Hale and Includes ninety trained Indian dancers, drilled for weeks at the studio. Briefly, It Is the Corn Dance of the Canadian Indians Canada being the locate of "Hose Marie" and signifies the Indians' thanks for a bountiful harvest.
