PA'GE SIX INfEDFOBD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORL), OREGON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1932. KITTY FREW by JANE ABBOTT SYNOPSIS: Dismay seised Kltt Frew at sht watches her mother' in law encourage Oar, her hus band, to po into amateur theat ricals inttead of getting a lob. Kitty hae married Oar with many plane of starting a home of her own, but they stilt are staying vlth his lamilu. She cannot get tcd to the continuous string ol oartiss and other "city habits" ol oar's crowd. An especial onnoy once it the effort ol Marge Cros by to attract Gar. Oar's Imme diate family is of no assistance to Kitty, but ehe pete friendship and good advice from his hall brother, David, who hat been cut off from the family. Carol, Oar'e titter, makes no attempt to hide her eoorn of Kitty's inexperience. Kitty and Oar get alona very well at long as ehe givee him hit own may, but when she grows serious they quarrel. Chapter 10 CAROL'S WARNINQ KITTY scarcely heeded when Oar continued to outline the plans ot the Idyllera, a club of d6butant.es to which Marge and Diana both be longed. Bat Mr. Frew listened with a eloss, affectionate attention, which had the effect of a circle drawn about her and Gar, shutting out everything else.- It shut out Kitty. "Tell Margory that I'll be glad to advise her In any way," Mrs. Frew told Oar, "It's a most creditable andertaklng." Alone with Kitty, Gar continued to talk about tha now plans. Evl- ner. They'd found the barn exact ly what they wanted but they'd got to act quickly to get It Marge was having the "committee" at bei house for dinner, to put It through. "I'll be home early. Kit." She put the telephone down with a sharp resentment not so mucb at Gar as at Margery Crosby. Marge was high-handed, appropriat ing Gar like this! Cut Gar would not see It so. Once be had laughed at Kitty when she said Marge dldn'l seem to realize he was married to her. "Oh, that cleave unto one an other Is old-fahloned, Kit." She found that the prospect of an evening alone, shut up In her room, was Intolerable. It she could find David! She took up the telephom book to bunt out his name. While she was fingering the re coiver, a knock came at her door Pound, perhaps, with some remedj for her head But It was not Pound. Card stood on the threshold. Kitty tried to keep from her wel come any sign of surprise and ap prehension. But she knew from tin unpleasantness of Carol's expres slon that this visit was no tardj gesture of slsterllness! "I'm so glad you came up, Carol My head ached I didn't feel Ukt eating any dinner. Found brough' "You're anting on a trap and It lent a pretty one either," Carol told Kitty. dently they had been In the making tor some time. A committee was going to meet at Mnrgo's house the next afternoon, with Paul Somer set, to look over some plays. Kitty retrained from the question that was burning on her tongue. Outwardly she shared Oar's enthu slaam. Plays were fun she'd been In several at the Normal College and she'd help put one on In Bridge water, lest winter. "Uncle Tom's Cabin!" Oar laughed and she laughed, too. It had been "The Tempest" but she did not say so, or that It had been very well done. The next day he suggested, a lit tle doubtfully, that ehe might go along with him to Marge's. "I don't suppose Marge would mind It you came." But she did not go. She told him she had mending to do. She kissed him and pushed him laughingly out ot the room. . The "committee" met again the following day and the next. "I hate like fury leaving you like this. Kit I'd make you go along only we agreed that we get mora done If no one alts. In. Marge even threw Red out, today. After we get started thore won't be so much to da" Oar was very Important, He told Kitty how rapidly their plans were taking shape. Somerset was Just the man "tunny looking dock but all to business. I'm going down with him and Marge tomor row to look over that barn. You're are yon're not too lonesome, sweetf" She told hlra shs wasn't too lone some. Perhaps, when they got Into their first play she could help, some way. But when he left her to go with Marge to look orer the barn which they proposed to transform Into a little theater she could not make herself take up any of the small oc cupations with which she bad filled her time while Gar was away from her. Her old bewilderment had come back to her; she had an unhappy prescience ot things going wrong, the course of which she could not stay. She was not helping Gar see life with a man's eyes. She thought ot David; If she could talk to him he might help her At six o'clock Our telephoned that he would not be home tor din- me a little something. Sit down1 Kitty Indicated a chair. Carol .Ignored the Invitation. She was walking Idly about the room looking at Oar's photographs, until her survey reached the picture of Margery Crosby. She picked that up, frownod at It, and put It back with a little bang. Then she swung around to Kitty. "Oar leaves you alone like this pretty often, doesn't he?" Kitty shrank Inwardly from nn Inference In Carol's tone but she answered pleasantly, even casually. "Just now. He'e busy with the committee meetings ot the Players. When they get started ot course I can help, too, In some way. I don't mind for I have ever so many things to do here." But she hushed; she knew her words foil lamentably short of convincing Cnrol had found her doing nothing, perhaps Carol had seen thnt she'd been crying. Carol laughed. But her eyes as she faced Kitty were hard. "Oh, you're simple-! Committee meetings he's Just tagging Marge Crosbyl It's always been like thau Let Marge crook hor little finger and Oar runs to her. If I were you I'd stick with them If only to study Marge's technique. It'd help you. You've got a lot to loam!" Kitty recoiled from the other's bluntness though she answered steadily enough, managing even a little smile. "Don't put It like that, Carol. I'm not afraid ot Marge or her tech nlque, or ot anyone. It's kind ol you to be concerned, but really, I'u not Jealousl" "Oh, kind!" Carol flung out h. hands. "I'm not trying to be kind I don't care what happens to Oai or to you or to anyone, tor thai matter, I have my own reasons foi warning you. And while I'm aboul It I'll say a little more. You'n sitting on a trap and It Isn't a pret ty one. either. Gar always geti what he wants If he ploys around long enough with Marge he may see that he can hare her and bet money and position without much trouble" (Copyright, Jans Abbott I Out Of hr "OUtdaitlt amAtlnna Kitty forma a plan, on Monday, to oain control of Oar, ER SHANGHAI, April 80 Mrs. KIlMbeth Short, mother of Robert Short, American aviator who was allot down and killed during the 8tno JapanoM fighting In this ares, ar rived there today from Seattle to attend the formal military funeral the Chlneae are giving her eon.
