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.
