PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26. 1935. MORNING STAR ay.VOPSfl.' Bmtly hat run away from Edwin Barnes on their wed ding night, and alter surviving a . nervous breakdown with the help of Dr. Warde, gets a job in Bir. mingham and, aided bv her friend . Charlotte, makes good. But her managing mother, Frances Felton, writes that Edwin is eeriouslu 111 with pneumonia, and forces Emilji to return to him. Emily does, and realizes that now, at last, shs must endure Edwin and forget David Carroll Chapter 24 NEW HOME EMILY came to the hospital twice a day at first, and stayed an hour each time; then gradually her visits lengthened. Two weeks later she had Edwin moved to her own home, to the room that had been hers. His happiness was almost too great to bear. She wrote to Charlotte as soon as the die was cast, very briefly and casually, because she didn't dare let herselt go. But Charlotte understood, and answered the let tor at once. Emily, darllnf: The cards do seemed to be tacked against you, and you're probably doing the only thing pos sible. The only thing for you, that Is; I'm not so sure It would be for mysslf, or for anyone else. But then I can't imagine myself with any man eating out his heart for me ! On one thing, though, I shall never let you rest. Don't let It get you: matrimony, I mean domes ticity. Don't let your mind atrophy (because you have got a mind, Emily, and a darn good one). Re member that the world Isn't bor dered by a white picket fence. I'm shipping your stuff and en closing your pay-check. Frame the check and put It In a prominent place: let it be your ensign of battle. And carry on! I love you a great deal, infant, Charlotte The letter tilled her with an un bearable yearning for Charlotte, for the heartening Influence of Char lotte, and the keenness of her mind that was as stimulating as an elec trlo Ttbrator. But she Questioned the advice it contained. The little house was sweet: a New England cottage of white clap board, with a white picket fence and a flagstone walk and big fat box woods at the door. There was to be a garden at the back: so far Edwin had gotten no farther than & pond with gold and silver fish. He hadn't offered It for sale after all; It had been built for Emily, and It seemed Incredible that Emily wouldn't one day live In It with him. Now his faith had been Justified, and he moved in a roseate haze, Emily worked frantically, because the had learned In Birmingham that It you worked very hard you were usually too tired to think after you went to bed. She couldn't furnish the house and plant her garden at the same time, and while her heart was with the garden, there was very little that could be done with It until tali, so ehe concentrated upon Immediate necessities, such as chairs and tables and rugs. Frances dropped In often "to of fer suggestions," secure in the con viction that her wider experience and maturer taste wore indispen sable to the furnishings of Emily's home. She dropped In this morning. "I notice In the paper that Kalr allah is having a marvelous sale of Orientals," she announced. EMILY was banging curtains. She adjusted the folds of a drapery and stepped back to consider the effect "Is he?" "Yes," Frances cocked her bird like head. "The gathers are a little thick under your right hand. I thought we might go down tomor row and see them." Emily continued to arrange the drapery. It was a sunny chintz, with little Valentine bouquets on an ap-'ple-green ground. "But I'm not Interested in Orien tals, darling. In the first place I couldn't afford them, and In the sec ond they don't go with a New Eng land cottage." "But you won't always live In a cottage, and Orientals last a life time. Besides, your father and I wanted to help you get them." Emily smiled at her. "Bless you both!" She couldn't tell her mollier that the frosty elegance of the Fel ton home was Just what she wanted to avoid. "I'll got the cheaper ones now, and by the time they're worn out perhaps I'll be ready for the other ones. Olve me a rain-check on them." "What are you planning to haver' Frances's tone Implied thatwhatever It was, It was probably Impractical. "Plain taupe for the big ones, and a tew small hooked ones where they'll do the most good. Aunt Mandy's making me some braided ones for the bedrooms." "Aunt Mandyl" "Yes. I was over there one day yeara aito for the laundry and she was working on the cunnlngest rug IN POLICE COURT PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 3S (AP Deteotlvft welting Jame Welton. 27, to Atand trial on charge of window breaking In a beer union war. search- 4 every haunt they knew without Ava.ll.

I made up my mind men that It 1 ever bad a house she'd do me some. She's tickled to death over doing "em." Francis came as near smiling as It is possible for a perfect lady to ciiue. "I hoped you'd have Browne do your house Instead of picking up thing bolterskelter as you're do ing." Emily twinkled wickedly at her. "Do you know why I didn't? Because whenever you go Into one of his houses someone always trills, "Oh, I know Browne did this; It looks exactly like him!' I don't want my house to look like Browne's; I want It to look like like Emily Barnes." She stumbled over the last word. Her mother shrugged delicately, thereby disclaiming all responsibil ity for the very probable gaucherles of her daughter's completed home. Emily came down from her perch to survey the finished drapery. The door-knocker sounded and Emily sighed as she went to answer It. There ought to be a law, she thought rebelllously, against morn ing callers. The caller was her mother-in-law, and Emily's heart sank. Mrs. Barnes would never approve of the new draperies; they didn't look "serv iceable" enough. But she smiled gaily. "Come in. You're Just In time to pass judgment." MRS. BARNES looked gratified. She was a plump, rather dowdy little woman who bad "let herself go" considerably more than Frances Felton had, and prided herself upon It. In fact, Lucy Barnes prided her self upon a great many things. Upon the fact, for example, that Mr. Barnes was her lord and master In stead of her companion; that he told her what to believe, and paid all the household accounts because "women had no head for figures"; that she had completely forgiven Emily for having behaved so disgracefully towards Edwin; that sbe had her clothes made at home because the materials In ready-made dressea were so shoddy nowadays. "In time to pass Judgment on what?" she asked brightly. "The living-room d r a p e r 1 e s." Emily led the way to the room. Mrs. Barnes, having greeted Fran ces with excessive cordiality, stood back to observe the apple-green chintzes, "Won't they fade?" "No," Emily assured her. "They're sunfast." Mrs. Barnes looked disappointed. Her own draperies were dark red and had been in nee, with the ex ception of the summer months, for twelve years. In June they were taken down and cleaned, and In Sep tember they were put back. They were very durable curtains. "They're very bright and cheer ful," she conceded. "They're very well suited to this type of house, I think," Frances stated. Emily wanted to laugh. Whatever misgivings Frances might have about her daughter's taste would never be communicated to an out sider. Frances also prided herself. Mrs. Barnes sat down In the frail est Heppelwhlte chair. "Don't let ma stop you; I can only stay a minute." 'I was through anyhow. I'm glad of an excuse to stop." Frances rose. "I must send Wil liam for your father, so I'd better go." She considered offering to drop Mrs. Barnes at home and de cided that It would savor too much of speeding the parting guest. Mr. Barnes didn't bellove In chauf feurs, and during business hours, Mrs. Barnes walked. "If you and Edwin haven't any plans," she added, I hope you ll come to dinner to night" Emily sighed with relief. Her maid had been out for two days and she was rapidly coming to the con clusion that her domestlo accom plishments weren't meant to Include cooking. "We'll be charmod. In addition to the company the Idea of eating food I haven't prepared Is entrancing." When Frances had gone Lucy Barnes said resignedly: "I'd dropped by to ask you to supper with us to night, but of course we can't offer the Inducements that Frances can." Emily wanted very badly to kick over a table, and was suddenly ashamed of herselt. "I'm so sorry I didn't know! And If you think you haven't any Inducements, Just ex tend another Invitation and see how Quickly we accept It!" She took her mother-in-law's plump arm. "Come and see the chest of drawers I had Turner do over for me." (Copyright. JJJ, tv Verio Sim,) But tomorrow, the inevltabls din. ner with the Barnes must be oone through with. B. A.
