She was - like a character in a smart society novel; a house-guest in the kind of a house she had dreamed abont in her. romantic dramatization-. There was a maid to press her clothes, serve her breakfast, run her tub. She had attractive men to pay her attentions, to plan good times for her. She had better clothes than she had ever had before. If she wanted to play tennis or golf, aha could play against, a' back' ground that surpassed anything she had ever pictured. If she wished to swim, she could swim in a private pool or at a private beach. - It wasnt fun. .In her honest, analytical way she admitted that she simply didn't "be long." - - s There was no friendship, no ties ' of mutual attraction between" her and Nancy. It was Nancy's house and Nancy had been as kind as she was casual about inviting Julie, but the lack of r Nancy's interest foT all her politeness was. deeply felt by Julie. She felt that she was there under sufferance, knew that she should have left after the week : end. Yet she haa justified ber pres ence.. She added to the party. Nancy had said she needed an other girl to amuse her men cruesta, Only that wasnt the way it was . done in Fayette. You were invited ; to. a party because your hostess liked you and you stayed because you knew you were wanted. You had fun in Fayette.-' You didn't meet - people ' who talked about people you didnt know, who smued and smiled when you knew they were only tolerating you. . A wave of nostalgia swept over her. . Nostalgia l for - people she knew, for places that were familiar .to bef. They bad more fun. at the . country dub parties or even just - dropping in to somebody's, house for an evening than these people had for alt their expensive play things and pastimes.' -. In retrospect things that Julie bad forgotten came back to her with pleasant remembrance. - How much ' fun it was to rather tn a gin's bed - room before a party started, pow ' dering your nose and talking about - the little things that happened our ing the day. How pleasant the smells of baking ginger-bread, the fresh, clean grass-and-sunsbine smell on a June day when you sat at the tele phone and Invited two or three peo ple to- supper.- Meeting another . couple after the movies and sitting . overm an ice-cream soda while you talked about what you had seen. She wondered if Priscilla missed her. If Cosy had got over her hay fever. If her father had finished : his experiment in the laboratory, . ' Not for one moment did she think of - Dick. She wondered what Tommy - thought of the success of her ex ploits ; Why didn't she go home right ..away? , . She got off her bed and took her suitcase out of the closet. - She could aay . that she'd telephoned home and had message to return. If she left at once she could return to her fiying lessons, enjoy the sin - cere , enthusiasm and congratula tions of her- friends, display, her new clothes. . -' She put the suitcase back. .

HER WINGS By MARIE B LIZARD Perhaps he had been "sort of en gaged" to Elsa Herf ord for years but he had called her his girL Well, she wasnt going to walk out of it now. She'd stay and see whether Elsa Herf ord or Julia Al lerdyce was the better woman. Elsa. had the advantage of a so cial position equal to Paul's. She had had experience undoubtedly in handling, men of her dass but Julie was capable, of meeting that experi ence. Elsa also had better clothes than Julie. Elsa'a clothes were a matter of comparison that struck Julie with a kind of cruelty. She had .enjoyed her pretty new wardrobe, been con fident that for all they were not expensive but how expensive they were to her 1- they were effective. Until Elsa had appeared in three costumes the day after her arrival. Three sets of clothes and acces sories that Julie was quick to see were gems of taste and workman ship. Her own eleven-ninety-eight tennis dress looked worth exactly tnat sum beside Elsa s ram Irock. Her cotton gloves were cheap and shapdess seen with Elsa's thick whita doeskins. Her things were absnrJJy girlish compared to the sophisticated simplidty of the other girl's frocks. , , v: Angry tars tipped Julie's lashes into starry points and she jammed her fists iuto the pockets of her tweed skirt. Just wait unto she rot back to Fayette! Thinking of the effect she would create there, her - thoughts veered off to tnother effect; she meant to create some day. She gave herself up to vmdrtive dreamuse. She saw herself in a beautiful black gown all ber. clothes would be beautiful, would be created for her by the Parisian coutouriers ; meeting Elsa at parties, smiling at her . with an amused smile. Julie would do - the smiling then. She'd invite Elsa to her various t homes where Elsa would see what a perfect wife she made for Paul, see Paul's devotion.-- . , ' Hex thoughts returned to Paul. He was' not obviously devoted to Elsa but there was an intimacy be tween them that her sharpened sen sitiveness was quick to feel. As though she had eyes in the back of her head, she knew when they were talking together, heard the murmur of their voices above all the others. Yet Paul had not changed toward her. That morning he had sent the maid to her to ask her if she'd play tennis with him, found moments to whisper little meaningless things that she loved to hear. She'd see it out, prove in some way that she was superior to Elsa uerford Her opportunity came that after noon. Quite unexpectedly. . " Nancy's sister had arrived earlier and ,when Julie passed - Nancy's rooms on her way to the stairs, Nancy called out to her: "Julie, do you nlav bridare?" She said ahe did. Not adding that she was the best bridze nlaver among the girla in Fayette. Since ennstmas she'd won four bonbon dishes.'eight guest towels, a dozen handkerchiefs and - the Sunday. school tournament prize, a leather bound" edition of ; the ' Complete Works of Shakespeare. Thank the Lord! . We need a fourth. ; . : ... ..-- - She sat down at the card table in Nancy's aitting-room. : A pleasant anncipauoq pervaded her; It was bom of a combination of her' eon. fidence to her game and tbe cornice conflict." When they cut for part ners, see naa drawn Nancy as her partner..' Elsa was her oBnonenrl Nancy's sister," Kate Wyndham, didnt count.

Jan. 18. --Injuries received from falling down a flight of stairs brought death to Mrs. Mary Flaherty, 8G. takes I" Hate asKed. "The usual," Nancy answered. In Fayette they played for; a tenth. It wasnt likely they'd play. n this game for more than a quar ter of a cent a point, Julie thought' about asking what the stakes were, thought better of it and opened the bid. ' - I . . Luck was with her. She held beautiful cards, played them skill fully. Elsa was, she saw at once, a formidable opponent. - She was four hundred points ahead at the end of the first rubber. Nice work, partner," Kate said. and added, "I'd like a highball." Nancy asked: "Anyone else?" Julie said she didn't care for one. Her attention was for nothing but' her game. She took a wicked delight in outplaying Elsa'a skilled moves, in timing ber own finesses. They played silently, not chatting amiably and disconcertingly as they did at the Fayette games. Occa sionally one of them said, "Nice play!" , . . or, "It should have worked." ... or. "Partner, I'm sorry." Julie had no need to say he was sorry., She played brilliantly. ! Three hours later, Nancy said, This will be the last rubber." The scores were added up. Elsa went to get her pocketbook. Julie discovered to ber startled surprise that she had won thirty five dollars. They'd played for half . a cent,'.""..-"- " She put the money in her purse . saying as if it were of neither sur prise or importance, "Thank you." Elsa said, " You'll have to give me a game tomorrow. I want a chance to win it back." "Certainly," Julie said courteous ly. She knew the ethics. ' "Perhaps we can play later in the evening," Nancy said. J ulte looked forward to another game. If herrluck held, she could re coup some of the money she'd spent and couldn't afford to spend. And if she lost, she couldn't lose more than she bad won and would then break even. , - , . : r - After dinner, Paul caught her. hand as she was going into the drawing room. i "I never , get a chance to see you atone," he whispered. "Let's go out and loUK at the moon." "Won't it look a little odd if we disappear?" " " 1 To-whom7" ' , He used the tone she wanted to hear. It said that there was no one ' there whose opinion he cared about. She went through tbe door to the screen porch and down the steps in to the garden. ' - y The garaen was bathed in char treuse shot with silver. It was beau tiful there and breathless with the lovdiness of a summer night. She walked along a narrow path ahead of him, paused and turned back to tell him to look at the fountain in the moonlight- . When she turned, he was immedl- ' ately behind -her and she stepped into his arms. - . He crashed, her against himself, holding her - so that she couldnt catch her breath.' -. . - ; "Oh, please PauL." she whispered, ' "Someone might . - . "I don't care about anyone ! Phi . mad about you." His Hps were in her hair, on her eyelids, , on her throat. "You're driving me crazy. You're so cool, so impersonal! You weren't like this when you were in Newport You liked me then!? ; ". I like you now, she whispered with what little breath she had left, . "Enough to.,.?? ,. She wasn't sure what the rest of his unasked question was. She wanted to be sure not to make the wrong answer. She said, M Perhaps." (To becontinued) , i ' Ctpyrlint fc KarM BlHr4 .
