There bad been no sacrifice be would not bare made (or her. And now to hint to ber parents that be bad ever harbored such tenderness would produce a scandal. Be was aware of the pain ha was courting long before he alighted. What had brought him I Curiosity and an Instinct more magnani mous: he had to learn that all was well with her. The same pleasant room In which he bad made bis breach with San ta, ("Till you've finished sampling, count me out") Erlo Dawn, bis guardian, to whom he'd been al most a son, silling the fatted calf tor Mm. Mrs. Dawn propitiatory determinedly gracious. Cocktails shaken. He could restrain himself no longer. "How Is Santa?" Mrs. Dawn replied, turning her back to straighten a lamp-shade which required no straightening. "She arrived home today on her first visit since her wedding. She'll be down In a moment" Clire braced himself. Then Santa advancing demurely and preoccupied. Dtterly pulseless. A lovely ghost that was how she Impressed him. Her eyes down cast. Cool as marble. His hostility crumbled. The "Thou ehalt cota" of the Deca logue became senile mumblings. With unruffled casualness she chose a cigarette. "Who has a match! Hello Clival" For tbe first time she seamed to notice him. "Do you still carry a llghterr His hand trembled. "Hold It steady," she requested. She glanced np with lurking mis chief. ' Dinnes was announced. He found himself seated opposite her. Con Tersatlon took the form of ques tions regarding how be had spent his absence. "It was mean of yon to pop off like that," Santa took a hand. "Like what!" He jerked upright. "Never advising Mummy or Dad dy and only telephoning me at the last moment" "No doubt CUre bad his reasons." Her father strove to avoid con troversy. "But when I saw him off," she persisted unabashed, "It was agreed that he would write." Again her father came to the fescue. "Probably he realized that bache lors don't correspond with other men's fiancees." "But must a girl lose all her friends T" She gazed whimsically Into dive's eyes. "Mummy actually thought yon wouldn't want to meet me." "My dear Santa," Cllve felt that he was grinning like a horse-collar, "In reply to your devastating frank ness. I'd be glad to meet you at the North Pole, It that was the rendezvous you appointed." The tempest in a tea-cup had blown over. Amiable chatting was resumed. But the conundrum was why she bad pretended that she waa the one who had a cause for grievance. Her poise waa discon certing. In continually returning to the sore toplo of ber marriage, she must hare soma object Beneath her g.-y mockery Cllve detected the train of nerves.

And even then you didn't send me a present" You should have seen her presents." Her mother sought to create a diversion. A grandiose story followed. "But you're forgetting the blgb spot Cllve maliciously capped the pinnacle. "The best man. according to the account 1 read, was reputed to be worth twelve millions." Mr. Dawn, who sat fidgeting dur ing bis wife's bragging, pushed back Ills chair. We were plastered with dollar- signs, my boy. Like tbe plants that decorated the church, they were all snatched back next morning." They adjourned to the library for coffee. Mrs. Dawn patted Give's arm. "What Santa said was true we've all felt more than a little hurt by your neglect" 'Being given my chance," he feigned contrition, "made me care less a- little high-hat As contact man for my firm 1n Europe where everyone has something to sell, 1 waa treated as Important And then there were distractions." "For Instance?" Mrs. Dawn en couraged. You might call them tempta tions. In Vienna not to be roman tto is to be dead from the heels np. They're not ashamed over tbere, as we are, of so many things that are natural. It woe an eat, drink and be merry sort of life. Everybody Infatuated. Looking back," be lied outrageously, "It seems that last year Is the only one in which I waa ever young." That's no news to me." Mrs. Dawn smiled remlniscently. "Till Santa waa 18 I educated her abroad, as you know. Often 1 close my eyes and dream myself back to Rome, Venice, the Riviera. Sun shine flowers, beauty and tenora with guitars, howling like tom-cats. It was pleasant Europeans do what we only dare jo think. So what I claim is tbat Euro- peanlzed Americans shouldn't be Judged by our standards. They've been trained to be happy, whereas we demand that they aball be en ergetic. By the way, talking of Europeahlzed Americans, did you ever hear Santa's husband men tioned? Het lived for some time In Vienna." Had he? Dicky Dak was atlll a purple patch In the American colo ny's memory. Never without a girl and always a good looker. A tree-spender a lavish lender. Handsome. Debonair. Gifted beyond the ordinary; but cursed with an aversion tor Indus try. He'd defeated himself on sev eral occasions by making his In tention to marry the fortune rath er than the heiress a trifle too ob vious. Mr. Dawn relieved him. "My dear Judy, you don't expect Cllve to peddle gossip." His wife squeaked like a mouse whose tall bad been trodden on. "You're ridiculous, trie If we don't inquire, how are we to learn?" "The time for Inquiry," Mr. Dawn spoke sternly, "was before Santa's engagement Then, according to yon, my desire to question Dak was fussy Interference. She married blindly, poor child. Whatever may be the consequences, this belated snooping doisnt mend matters." All eyes were turned on the poor child. She met their scrutiny radi antly, as though amused by their concern for her. "What'i poor about me. Daddy?" "Nothing, perhaps. I don't know. I only suspect" She continued witb her embroid ery. It was exactly as though she bsd rebuked him tor spying. Concealing his loss of dignity, her father held out his hand to CHve. "Sorry to bid you good-night I hare letters." His wife' rose wltn him. At the door ehe addressed Santa, lowering ber voice. "You see. It's aa 1 told you. He blames me." (CetrrttH tni-mt, Cemteiiht Dtmtee) Cnvs Itarnt tha truth about Oleky and Santa, tomorrow.

There Is no doubt but what there la need of some reasonable regulation of trucks but this bill can't be termed regulation, says Mrs. Snider. If passed It will accomplish Its de sired purpose which Is elimination or higher rates which la the desire of the selfish Interest In back of It.
