KITTY -..'fcy JANE RYNOPMS.- Keckleeeneee eeteee Kitty Frew when her hueband Oar critieteee her for ehopping with a market baeket in their faehtonabl district. She hae been eootiom tml; note the epende lavishly, fihe telle her worriee about Oar7e impractiralitu to hie half-brother David, but daren't refer to Oar'e .. time epent with Marge Croeby. Chapter 31 AN UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER TPHH first of February brought mora bills Kitty's own, now. She gar them to Oar and he pock eted them cheerfully. "That's the way, Kit," he eom mended. "I've paid those others. Now you see that you needn't worry." Of course she needn't worry! A doien times she assured Gar that she liked her new-found leisure. .She did not tell him how she spent It, how often she went to Carol's, how often she saw David. Nor did be ask him where he'd got the money to pay Bond and the others. The Players were presenting ! "Loyalties" the last of February. The rehearsals took Oar away from ber. She did not suggest that she go with blm, 1 One day she called Gar on the telephone. Gar wasn't In the office. He'd gone out about ba.lf.past eleven. He'd said he wouldn't be In again that day, old Jonathan an wered her. His voice was of the patient, kind quality Ilka Pound's. Did she Imagine she caught i little note of pity In Itt Perhaps Gar But aha would not go on with that thought At dinner Gar told her that be had to go to the theater. "I may be lata tonight, sweet Don't alt up for me. Miriam Holt'a dropped out of the eost and Somerset's put Dl in the thlng-ll go slow tonight." Quite on accord, they discussed Diana Close's ability and lack of ability. Gar went off, kissing Kitty affectionately In parting. . Kitty remembered that the Phila delphia Symphony was playing at Musie Hall. She'd go there. ; She'd wanted to go to the con' eerts all winter but Gar had re fused. That sort of muslo bored blm, he'd said. She reached the hall too late to take a seat before the opening num ber. She Joined a little group of people, standing, Impatiently wait lng. And In It she saw David. "David, how nicer . ! "Alone?" "Yes. Gar's busy with the Play- rs. But I'm not alone, now. See 'It you can change our tickets" He took has and went to tho (box office, returning with adjoining seats. i "I've never heard an orchestra (like this, except on the radio," she confided to him, laughing, as they took their seats. : Bright color glowed on her cheeks. She was wearing a black dinner dress which enhanced the ereamlness of her slender throat. "You're looking rather prettier than usual, tonight, Kitty." She laughed softly. Such direct admiration from David waa new! She turned a bright smile on him. She wanted David to say more nice things to her. But the orchestra began Bee thoven's Fifth Symphony. David had forgotten herl She watched his face. Its absorption, Its curious tightening. "Gorgeous, wasn't It!" she asked, when the symphony waa over. And David looked at her a Utile vaguely, nodding. His wordlessness seemed to rebuke her; she reeented It with soma amusement MATRICIDES GET ftHATTLE, Wean, May It p Br. Albert O. McKeown, 45, and Les lie Barrett 1. who killed their moth ers here on the earn ntjht more than two months ago, were both sen fenced to state prison Saturday, the former lor 13 to IS years and Barrett for five to 30 years.

Bar rett was convicted of manslaughter for shooting his mother during a drinking part quarrel. "David," I've V If' F T f been a perfect fool, ji , I r4' "JL "' Illr reMfcleMi' FREW ABBOTT Amused, she fell to thinking of things she would say as soon as the music ceased But after a little it came to her with a ahock that she wasn't listen ing to the music She closed ber eyes and settled back In her chair. And gradually the sound swept over her, lifted her, released ber. It seemed to pour Itself Into her body and heart and brain. She put out ber hand a little blindly until It caught David's arm. The symphony ended. David smiled at her. "David!" Her hand still cluns to his arm. "David, that did something to roe!" . She was ashamed ashamed, et what she'd been doing, sitting here, planning how she'd bold David's at tention. She was frightened, too. "I'm going to put you In a taxi, Kitty," David said when they were out In the street. They stood on the fringe of the crowd pressing at the curb wait ing to claim the cars that swung up in a close procession. And In the confusion of noise Kitty heard a familiar voice. "Here, let us through, please." Gar. Gar making a way for Margery Crosby. The Crosby chauffeur was holding open the door of the Crosby limousine. In an instant he had closed It upon Gar and Marge. The car rolled off to make way for the next "Here we are, Klttyl" David bad commandeered a taxi. He had not seen Gar. "Good night," she said brightly. Gar, who didn't like symphony concerts! But he'd . been dragged Into It of course. Something had happened to postpone the rehearsal, of course. He'd telephoned, and found that she wasn't at the apart ment Gar would tell her just how K happened when she got home. She reached the apartment before Gar. Gar came In, In high spirits. Had she been lonesome? He asked It with his arms around her. Kitty waited. "Di'a going to make it all right, Kit. Sho'a a good sport and Somer eot'll whip her Into shape." But perhaps they'd had the re hearsal and Gar and Marge had gone Into the concert late "Somerset worked them to a finish, I'll say. He went over part of It a half doien times. It waa ten o'clock boforo he'd let them go. That's why I'm so lato." "Have you had a busy day?" She hated herself tor asking It, for feel ing so Icy cool and calm. "Just that Things are going great" She went Into the bedroom. "Well, I didn't tell him I was there with David. I don't tell him when I go to Ketrhum Street. Or when I je Carol." She felt a sob shake her. She felt tears streaming down her cheeks. 8he knew, now, of what she was so afraid of that Kitty Frew she had come to be. But don't you see, David, that I've got to go on?" Kitty appealed some days later. Kitty said this over and over, but not to David, only in wretched moments when, Just to plan a heart to-heart talk with David, eased her mind. And. David, I've been a fool these last few weeks, a perfect fool silly and reckloas." tCopvrtght, Jane Abbott) Dorcas optna up mop trouble foe Kitty, with an amanne quettlon tomorrow.
