Reek, Diona. far and wealtnr, make a plar for Nelda. Hri. Reckless, Reck'a cold and arrocant mother, think, no Ctrl u food enouio for Reck. Chapter It Nelda Entertains 'Nelda Barrte, where did you get such grand Italian food away out uerer- uiaire asked. "An Italian neighbor cooked It" The young people chatted so gayly at the table and to thorough' ly enjoyed the food that Nelda felt the party wag gonlg to be a real success. But after lunch their spirits aeemea to drop. Although she tried to be gay and amusing, they all looked as if they were concealing yawns. "Would you like to go up Into the hills?" she asked In desperation. They agreed listlessly. Reek's attentions to Nelda, as they trudged side by side, were all that could be desired. He was de votion Itself. She saw It was mak ing an Impression on her guests. She would have been leas than human If she hadn't experienced a glow of triumph. The walk was doing something to her friends. They seemed happy. exploring the mountain trail. The blood came into their cheeks and they laughed and shouted gayly to eacn otner. They struck deeper Into the cool. shadowy gloom of the trees and finally came to a huge cleared place that once had been the estate of a cattle baron. As they stood at the big front winaow looking upon a rich valley spread out many miles below, Reck apoke at Nelda's shoulder. "Olad we didn't live In the horse and buggy days, aren't you?" Amusement colored his tone. She said nothing. Her thoughts were on the old days. In fancy she couia see veneraoie padres on bur ros traveling over the rugged high ways of a century ago. She made a lovely picture, stand ing there lost In thought. She looked far too young, too slender and delicate to be managing a ranch. There was something about her whole aspect that was deUclously earnest ana sweet, every mascu line eye was upon her. "Let's get going." Val surcested. Nelda wished that her whole party could be staged outdoors, the guests seemed to enjoy it so much. With Mrs. Jeffers in the kitchen Nelda expected dinner to go off as smoothly as lunch, but she received a shock upon reaching home. The instant sne saw Mrs. Jeffer's face she knew something was wrong. She took her guests Into the liv ing room, then hastened to the kitchen without removing her' wraps. "It's not my faultl" Mrs. Jeffers ourst out. "What?" "That woman kept oomin' out nere and nlbbun' at that salad un til there's not enough left to go TTjuna. Instantly Nelda knew that Laura was the culprit. "An' her supposed to be aickl" Mrs. Jeffers rushed on. "Lasy is what I'd call it." "I am notl" This from Laura who stood m the doorway. "I've eot a ore back and now I'm afraid I'm takin' cold." She flounced angrily to her room, muttering that she'd starve before he'd eat a bite that woman cooked. There was nothing for Nelda to do but use the vegetable salad she'd planned for tomorrow's lunch. Mrs. Jeffers didn't take very kindly to the extra work and her resentment was reflected In the manner In which the served the meaL Nelda trembled In fear that she might leave oeiore trie end of the party The Powells arrived shortly after t all set to play bridge. But Nel da's other guests dldnt want to piay bridge. They wanted to dance to the music from the radio. Nelda dldnt care so long as they were en tertained. Besides, ahs found It pleasant dancing in Reek's arms. "You're a marvelous dancer," she whispered to him during a be witching waits. "Not bad yourself," he answered and kissed her on the ear. She was glad that all her guests chose to sleep late next morning because she wouldn't have known how to keep them amused until lunch time. After breakfast she took them Into the field to show them the tiny lettuce plants. They were only po litely Interested. The rest of the morning dragged. They were just about to sit down to lunch when a great commotion arose in the kitchen. Running feet. excited voices. Then Maria Mores! plunged into the dining room, her face chalky white. She was fol lowed by a lanky young man. His sparseness was accentuated by a high choker collar and a double breasted suit His face was ghast ly with fear. "She keel us!" Maria shouted hysterically. "Who? What's the trouble. Ma ria?" Nelda went to the girl who was now weeping wildly. "We got married yesterday," the young man said, "and her mother's like a maniac." Mrs. Moresl's voice, raised In anger, penetrated from the kitchen. Maria's bridegroom ungallantly fled through a side door. Maria fol lowed no less precipitously. They were scarcely outside when Mrs. Moresl appeared in the door way that led from the kitchen, a rifle in her hands, her black eyes snapping fire. He make fool of my girl!" she snouted. "Fake Jewelry!" 'Everyone wears that kind of jewelry these days, Mrs. Moresl Costume Jewelry, they call It." Nelda tried to make her voice soothing, but she was crimson with humiliation over this rude inter ruption. "He keep my Maria away all night!" "They're married, Mrs. Moresl. "How you know?" "They wouldn't have come back together if they weren't" Mrs. Mores! grew Quieter as she digested this. "Yeah mebbe." A sudden em barrassment overwhelmed her as she evidently became conscious of the violence of her intrusion. 'Scum me, please." She left, car rying the gun under her arm. Nelda didn't miss the fact that her guests exchanged significant looks, with the exception of Claire who came to Nelda and silently supped a nand through her arm. "I dldnt dream that you lived In such an environment, Nelda," Har vey drawled. Nelda saw Claire give him a sharp look. Claire might be care free, unconsciously selfish, but her loyalty was precious. Reck was very quiet. Nelda noted. and divined that he was mortified because the girl he'd singled out for his attentions was subject to such neighbors. Oh, what an end to her party. sne uiougnt miserably I (To Be Continued) Willomina Methodist Aid Served Luncheon Wlllamlna The Ladles' Aid of the Methodist Episcopal church met Friday for the annual Christmas party.
