MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, OREGON, TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1935. PAGE SIX READY MADE WIFE BY CORALIE STANTON Ob SYNOPSIS: Desperate, amotl starving, Laurie has posea a Rex JUoorc'e widow in order to support herself. But Rex returns unex pectedly after two years, and now Laurie must keep up her deception, or risk costing Rex his fob with Hark Albery. the airplane manu- iacturer. Now Rex tells Laurie that e must fly tn the rescue of two airmen, presumably lost in Africa. Chapter 1 GLADYS ARRIVES THE arrival ol her lister Gladys was a relief s well as a Joy to Laurie. She found herself Incomprehensi bly anxious tor Rex Moore's safety. In her two years' work at Albery's she had heard so much more than the general public of accidents, ml' nor and major. She had been stupid from surprise when she asked him whether his flight over Central Africa to search for the missing air men was dangerous. She knew It was. All long-distance flights were dangerous. But she could not understand why she felt as she did. Sbe reasoned with herself. He was nothing to her, no more than any other airman do ing his Job. He had gone out of his way to be horrid to her. He was Just making use of her tor as long as It suited him. Why should she worry about him? In a few days, however, she found "Who gave you that elgarst something more definite to worry about. It bogan when the first excitement ot having Glad with her had worn off: ot waiting on her, ot ordering her favorite meals, of showing her off to the admiring Mrs. Budd. Then, she began to notice a change In the girl. It was what she had seen In Liver pool at Easter, only more definite. Glad seemed older, not ao trans parently simple, not so childishly gay. She was always restless, eager ly excited, as If she were expecting somothlng. Dashing to the door when the postman came, to the telephone when It rang. Besides, sbe seemed to have "shut herself up", as Laurie called It. She did not talk all the time about her dancing, and the other girls, and "old Carstalra", the manager of the troupe. BUT how lovely she waa! It was the Saturday after her arrival when the doubt first came Into Laurie's mind, when she had met her sister for lunch In a little cheap foreign restaurant In Soho. How she sat, smiling her Inde scribable baby smile, as If knowing that everybody waa looking at her. In that thin navy-blue silk two-piece, with the Ivory scarf, and the tiny navy knlttod silk cap on ber glorious loose curls, sheer sunshine gold on top, ilarkor' underneath. With her grcy-blua eyes and Jet-black curling lashes, and her warm peach-bloom skfn, and her lovely mouth that no llpsllck could spoil. Yes. Glad was exquisite, as near physical perfection as a girl could be. But, all ot a sudden, and for the first time, Laurie felt that Glad knew 1L "What a pretty pin, Glad!" said Laurie, as the younger girl detached a slender bar of platinum, with little blue stones set In it, from her scarf and fastened It Into her coaL "You are an extravagant kid! It looks as If It cost a heap ot money." "It was a present." Glad replied carelessly, and went on to tell her 1HE DALLES PREPARING 10 ENTERTAIN LEGION THE DALLES.

Laurie said nothing mora about the pin. But. two mornings later, when Glad had gone out early to spend the day with one of her girl friends In the troupe, and Laurie was help ing Mrs. Budd to make the beds be fore she left for the office, she stayed behind to tidy up Glad's room, and saw a glittering object at the bot tom of the wardrobe. It was a gold clgaret case. A very expensive looking one, obviously real. Glad's initials were engraved on It. Laurie frowned, and a pang of dismay shot through her. It was a beautiful thing, as simple and costly as the handbag Mr. Albery had given at Easter. BUT this was quite a different mat. ter. Sbe berselt waa only an or dinary girl whom nobody would look at twice. And Mr. Albery had been pleased with her work, and It was because he thought so much ot Rei Moore that he was so kind to her. But Glad, who drew all men'i eyes with her beauty, who was sc young, who naturally loved pretty costly things . . . Laurie conk eaief demanded Laurie. hardly contain herself all day until she got back to the flat. But Glad was not there. She did not come back to dinner, not until ton o'clock. Laurie aaw awful vis ions, lived through an age of fear, and was so keyed up aa to be hys terical whon the girl did appear, as fresh and slendor aa a young peach tree, greeting her sister with bei enchanting smile. "Sorry I'm late! I've had a great time. Nelly's brother took us to th pictures. I've had my food." "Who gave you that gold clgaret case.?" Interrupted Laurie, speaking sharply tn her anxiety. "I found II lying In your wardrobe. It must havi cost pounds and pounds." "I don't see what It's got to do witb you, old girl," retorted Gladys huf fily. "I suppose It dropped out ot s pocket. 1 don't carry It about. Makei me look too rich." "Don't be silly, Gladl You musl know you can't take presents like that from men." "How do you know a man gave it to me? Good Lord, I'm not a baby! I earn my own living." But Laurie was no: to bs put off. "Deass tell mo. Glad! It you'vs got a frlond, you surely don't wanl to keep it from me?" "Oh, all right. Inquisitive!" laughed the girl, and her face was all gay and sparkling again. When she frowned and her mouth closed In a downward lino, she could look quite sullen. It was no easy dispo sition to deal with. "He's a very nice boy, very posh, and with pots of money." "Have you see much of him?" "A bit In Liverpool. He came to the show lots of times." "And he takes you out?" Glad nodded. "Did he give you that sapphire pin too?" "Yes. What of it? It's nothing to him." "What's his name?" "Jimmy Smith. Any objection?" (Copyright. ItJI.

RULES FOR WINE AID EXCELLENCE SAN FRANCISCO. (UP) Ama teur vintners and commercial wine dealers have been provided with ten simple rules for the care of wines by the wine Institute because of wide spread dissatisfaction with quality of domestic wine when It la sold or consumed. Harry Caddow, secretary of the In stitute, declared practically all of poor quality wine reaching consum ers at present la due to mishandling. The rules are: Keep dry wine out of contact with air else It will turn sour. Keep all wine out of sunshine; window display bottles should be "rummies." Lay containers horizontally: It keeps corks wet and consequently air tight. Never shake or ar any wine con tainer; the motion disturbs the sedi ment that sometimes accumulatea with age. Keep containers and utensils clean. Use sound barrels and proper han dling equipment. Instruct users In the proper use for each variety. Store In cool, even temperature. Let barrels rest a week before drawing wine. Give wine barrels careful treat ment after using and before refilling. Ose Mall Trlbuue want ads. EATING IN THE CAK JWRrlEV SffiWS.
