GUY AGAIN
ALISON Just had got In from a
' morning's shopping when Per
ter said, "There's a gentleman wait
ing to see you, Miss."
"Where Is he?" Aliaon wished her
heart would not beat quite so bard.
"In the drawing-room, miss."
Alison ran upstairs; outside the
drawing-room door sha waited one
moment to allow the tell-tale flush
on har (ace to vanish. Blushing was
a fatal habit of hers that would not
be cured. She opened the door de
murely. Ha was there but today he looked
different. The shabby flannels bad
been replaced by a lounge ault of
Shetland brown; his crisp dark hair
had been brushed Into some sort of
order and bis chin waa smoothly
shared. The burglar-like companion
of her night adventure looked posi
tively respectable now!
"What's the matter?" When he
smiled down at her like that, bia
blue eyes dancing, he was the same,
only nicer than her mental picture.
"Nothing. Only, well, you look dif
ferent today."
"You mean properly dressed?
Don't you like It? I'll go back and
ehangel" lie waa so comically In
arneBt that she laughed.
"Don't do that! I do like It." She
releaaed her hand from a shake that
bad already lasted half a minute.
"I thought I'd Just run round and
make sure that you were none the
worse."
"Not a bit. And father's recover
ing," she reported.
"D'you think he'd mind If we went
out and snatched a bite of lunch to
gether? That'a what I really came
for. I want to talk to you."
"I'd love to!"
"Good. Come on then. You don't
want to prink do you?"
"No, but I must run and leave a
message for father."
"All right. I'll wait."
As Alison turned towards the
door, she added, "I mustn't be late
back, though, I've got to - meet
Daphne.
"Daphne?"
He had turned so white, was look
ing at her bo quecrly, that Alison
wondered what alie could havo said.
"Yes. Daphne Sinners. My step
mother-to-be. Why? Do you know
her?"
"No. N-nol I don't think so." Ho
turned rather quickly to the door.
"Look hero, I'll go down and got the
car started up."
He hurried away and Alison, jot
ting down on the telephone-pad a
casual, "So sorry, shan't be In to
lunch," wondered, "What on earth
did I say to upset Guy like that?
Waa It Daphne? Rut why should her
nam startle him like that? Did he
think she waa some other Dnphne or
what?"
T)UT If she expected Guy to ex--
plain, she was dlsnppointod. HIb
first remark when she Joined him In
the car was on quite a different sub
ject. "I say, 1 hadn't thought. D'you
mind lunching In a cheap place?"
"Not a bit I'd like It."
"That's all right, then!" He
eemed considerably relieved. "You
ee, I'm not exactly rolling at pres
ent." "Aren't people building bouses?"
Alison's mind darted to her father.
Could be help? He had masses of
acquaintances, mostly wealthy;
surely If he tried he could And some
one who wanted to build homes!
But Guy seemed slightly put out
by tha suggestion.
"Houses? No. It's not thnt not
exactly. I've had a bit of a sot-bark
tn my business, that's all. To put It
plainly. I dropped a lot and had to
close down and I've only just started
work again, ao at tho moment I've
got to watch the exchequer." lit
smiled suddenly at her. "I shouldn't
think that you knew what that
meant, do you?"
"Being short of money? I snpposo
! don't," Alison admitted. "Father
pays everything for me."
"Judging by his sherry, I Imagine
that should work well!"
"Very well!"
They laughed together; a lot of
laughter over a very small Joke. But

the day was fine, a crisp November
day with frosty wind to set the blood
tingling, a day that made one glad to
be alive, young, and driving out to
lunch with someone, a day when
everything waa fine!
Guy's anxious, "Sure you don't
mind this?" waa quite unnecessary,
for Alison found the "cheap place"
charming. True. It lay In the triangle
behind Regent Street, down a small,
dingy side turning and the outside
waa not particularly Inviting Just
a window with a heavy white cur
tain edged with the sort of crochet
lace one sees In France.
But the room Inside, low, long
and made up of several run into one
another, was full of funny corners
that had a fascination of their own,
each table cut off from the rest, and
halt bidden by tall palms. Tbe
guests were altogether queer for
eigners for the most part, shabbily
dressed and speaking In a babel of
tongues.
A tired-looking waiter waved them
to a table at the far end and drew a
menu out of his pocket, dusting It
carefully on his trousers before of
fering It to the girl.
"Bortsch? Oh, lovely! What're
Kruskls?" Alison was enchanted;
Robert's Idea of a restaurant waa
strictly limited to the large and fash
ionable hotels which are on Picca
dilly.
Lord koowe! Shall we try them?"
Lets! Or this I can't even pro
nounce It You know, this Is ex
citing!"
He seemed to catch her mood.
"You Ilka It?"
"1 adore It! Oh, oh, they're
cooking It all over there. Grille al
ways fascinate me. I'd love to cook
but our cook at home gets huffy If
I go Into her kitchen. I think that
must be the best part of being poor
one can do what one likes oneself."
T WONDER If you'd really like It!"
a "I know I should." Alison was In
earnest. "You see, we've lived so
much In hotels and places, and then
my time at school and when I'm
home, father Ukea to entertain hla
friends and wanta me to be with hlra
I've never really been allowed to
have any fun of that sorL But It's
alwaya been my dream to own a very
little house and run It all myself!"
"A very little house," he repeated
It slowly, his eyes on her face.
Yes and a largo cooking apron!"
laughed Alison.
You'd look rather good!" he
agreed.
"Oh, I'd adore It!"
"Perhaps, aa a game, for a bit."
He spoke brusquely, almost rougbly.
"No, I don't mean that." Alison
was serious. "I menn really. You see.
I'm rather a dull sort of a person.
I'm not bo frightfully good at games
and though I'm crazy about music
I can't play or anything. I'm not a
bit highbrow. If 1 try to road sorlous
books I generally go to sleop over
them! In fnct, I'm nut much good
nt anything, except Just doing things
with my hands. At school, the last
one, my finishing school, we had to
do domestic courses and 1 loved
that; 1 liked scrubbing! It sounds
silly but 1 did!"
Tho waiter had brought two platos
of food and set them down but both
of them had no more than tasted a
mouthful. Guy was leaning forward,
looking at her with a queer smile.
"At a guess, 1 should Bay you'd
monoy of your own and were alwaya
going to have monoy?"
Yes?" Alison could not see the
point.
That's why."
Why I like scrubbing?" She was
frankly Incredulous.
Yes. You don't understand your
self, that's all. People like the things
thoy haven't got to do. No one'd
play Soccer If they'd got to play, by
law. They'd try and get out of it
You haven't got to scrub; you don't
think you ever will have to scrub.
so you like It. That's all."
She said rehelllously, "I don't
think you're being fair!"
lie pushed away the Btrange cur-
ry llko mixture in front of hlra and
lit a cigarette out of a packet.
Asked, ".My dear child, what do you
know about It? I don't suppose
you've ever seen real poverty! I
could show you" he broke off sud
denly and lovervd a momentary con
fusion by striking a match.
But Alison had caught the half
sentence.
"You were going to say ?"
"Nothing that mnttered."
"Yes. It did matter." She. too,
pushed away the strange and nause
ating dish, planted both elbows on
the table and screwed up her cour
age to say what was In her mind.

BABY'S INTERNAL
i If
WILLIAMSPORT. Pa. (UP) A ba
by, who lived only four hours after
birth at the Wllllamsport hospital,
waa found to have Its Internal or
gans In complete disorder.
The Infant, born to Mrs. Lyman
Lamason. mother of five other chil
dren, had an Inverted stomach simi
lar to AJyce McHenry, 10-year-old
Omaha girl who was cured of the ail
ment at Fall River. Mass.
When born, the- baby seemed to be
perfectly normal, weighing nine
pounds. Later, a physician, while
making an examination, discovered
heart beats came from the right side.
At first, it was believed to be
rare case of where the heart Is on
the right. Doctors thought this would
not affect the child, as it seemed to
be In good health. Four hours later
the baby died.
An autopsy was performed and
physicians were astonished at the un
usual Internal conditions.
Some of the Infant's Intestines' and
part of the liver were bunched to
gether In the left chest. One lung
was collapsed. The other practically
was useless because of the closeness
of other organs. There was no dia
phragm on the left side. The heart
was on the right side, and the stom
ach waa upside-down.

EXPERT FAVORS
MARRIAGE STUDY
MILWAUKEE (UP) Proper prep
aration for marriage and family is
urged by the Rev. Thomas F. Rellly.
S. J., head of the Social Science de

"Why is It," he asks, "that ath-
I letes, business men. doctors, lawyers.
nurses and teachers submit to a long
course of training and study to de
velop knowledge and skill and stam

it is blandly assumed that a man and
a woman can succeed In the difficult
profession of marriage and parent
hood Just because they are of dif
ferent sex?
