CONVERSATION PIECE
ALLAIRE'S father tad mother
hadn't cared a farthing for
tradition or memory. They'd pur
chased the estate ae a happy com-
promise between her mother's lore
of Washington society and her
fathor's reverence for Kentucky as
a more suitable location for his ree
ling stable.
And they'd done their best to re
model It Into a showplace long
sweeping wings to accommodate
mora guests added to the original
mansion, destroying Its simplicity
and solidarity: the old driveway
winding Its leisurely course through
thick-growing evergreens changed
at great coat of money and trees
Into a gleaming paved double drive,
the Dlcturosaue coachhouse de
molished to make room for an
eight-car garage. They would have
to nick that one spot.
But even at that they'd failed to
wreck the atmosphere of the old
place entirely. They had failed In
other ways too for her mother had
long since rotired to her home In
'Washington where from behind the
'bulwarks of her own social circle
and private Income she made soph'
latlcated nose-thumbing gestures at
her husband, except when something
with social and dtsplomatla lure
aike that polo trip brought them to
gether again.
And Allaire's tall slim father, his
'best polo days over, had settled
'down here either to break hla neck
'in a fox hunt some day or else
drink himself to death, either of
rblch he would probably do very
gracefully.
It was sunrise r.ione that gave
Weatlands any dignity.
It, the distance through a grove of
trees she could see the red roofs of
the stables smart modern build
ings surrounded by a covered tan
bark track and adjacent to a pri
vate throe-quarters of a mile exer
cise course.
A couple of her father's brood
mares were running up and down
sear a while fence. Be too bad if
to ever bred a Derby-winner he
.wouldn't have anything In life to
live for.
Allaire smiled slightly and sent
the car Into motion. Bhe flashed In
tbroush the gates, aped up that long
.cement drive, and stopped under the
' portico. Homecoming! It hadn't been
borne to her for yeara.
The drive was full of cars so she
knew some sort ot a party was on,
but the great house was quiet as
the entered. Everybody seemed to
have retired, although Ray waa
Usually a night owl.
But no, there were still some
stragglers clinging to the ghost of
the evening. Allaire paused on the
threshold ot the living room. A man
was asleep on a divan with hla hands
folded across bis chest. A girl In
green evening gown had evidently
Just awakened. She was walking
around uncertainly.
Allaire had never seen her before
In her life. Her father's policy ot per
petual open house brought many
atrangera In with the tide.
"What are yon looking fort" she
asked politely.
"The door. I think," said the girl
!r. r.-.a. 'Tarty seems to be over.
Look at me walking around like a
' perfect sap." She giggled.
ALLAIRE obligingly guided her
to the atalrcase.
"There you are," ehe said. "Oood
luck and good morning."
"I'll take the luck and you can
have the morning," said the girl.
Allaire went bark to the living
room and pulled a bell cord. Blytbs,
the butler, appeared, stifling a
yawn as he saw who had summoned
him. She gestured at the recum
bent form on the divan.
"Please put him to bed," she re
quested. "And then go to bed your
self. The party," she added, "seems
to be over."
B 1 y t h and Ms unconscious
charge having wooilly disappeared,
the girl "Ighed as she glanced about
the room. . . .
She'd always liked this room. It
waa wide and ulgh-celllnged and
had a huge stone fireplace. There
were pictures of famous racehorses
on the wells, and trophy cases ot
silver loving eupe, blue ribbons,
and other mementos ot horse shows
and steeplechases. She'd won a lot
ot them herself.
But the spirit of the room was

Jaded with trays of empty and half
filled highball glasses, bottles, silver
palls ot melting Ice, and ash trays
crammed with clfaret butts many
of them rouged.
Their odor combined to defeat ef
fectively the fresh clean acent of
gardjjns and lawns trying to get
through the terrace doors.
As she stood there her father came
In from the lap-room. He bad a
woman on his arm a allm woman
with very pale face, eyelids painted
golden, and an evening gown not
In the best of taste.
Allaire recognized her. She was s
famous movie actress. Or she had
been once.
"My Ood" exclaimed her father
"Where did you come from?"
"Drove trom Washington," she re
turnod. "Hello, Tala."
"Hello, Allaire darling," said th
pale woman.
Ray was just beginning to re
cover from his surprise.
"I haven't seen her for weeks,'
he told Tala. "Fact. And now sb
shows up all ot a suden."
"I want a room and bath," said
Allaire politely. "Southern exposure
and American plan. And do you al
low children?"
"I think," said Tala lailly, "I'll gr
to bed. I don't feel good for a thing."
"Goodness," commented Allaire
"la as a morning cloud and aa the
early dew It goeth away."
"Put me down as early dew," said
Tala wearily. She left the room and
Allaire looked at her father, dark
eyea Ironic.
"Still paying tuition for night
achool, Ray?"
HE aat down without answering
He looked tired, but he war
still handsome, thick Iron-grey hair,
slate-blue eyes In a tanned face, and
athletic figure. He'd never be fat
and he would always have the glfl
of wearing his clothes with dlstlnc
tlon.
'What have you been doing late
ly?" ho naked.
'The usual thing," aald Allaire
"Theatre parties dinner dances, a
few night clubs, and a lot of small
talk. Oot sick of It and went to
Waahlngton to see Nell." She
shrugged. "Oot sick of that too."
Ray chuckled.
"Pretty terrible. Isn't It? Who'i
Nell got on her string now? Soma
polished young undersecretary
from the Bolivian Legation wltb
white spats and penciled mus
tache?"
He laughed again.. "Lord, what s
bunch ot Don Quixotes hang around
her. She Alls their skins with sherry
and they all go looking for wind
mills. Don't blame you tor leaving."
"Ray," ah? returned, "It's no bet
ter here and don't you forget it."
"You always were Inclined to bl
snooty." Her father picked up tha
brandy decanter. "You're the proud
est person on this green earth."
The girl In white polo coat gavs
an Impression ot a young Diana
with burnished hair and a quick
lithe strength. She blended In with
the world ot grace and rhythmic
beauty represented In those gleam
Ing tall silver cups and the pictures
of clean-limbed racing perfection.
And Rayburne West, with tht
early morning sun streaming on hli
evening clothea and the amell ol
brandy and that pale woman's per
turae about him, seemed a natural
completion to the canvas ot bottles,
glasses, melting Ice, and ash trays.
. He seemed to sense that In hei
cool level glance, for he suddenly
aet his glass down and looked al
ber with some Irritation.
"What's come over you?" he de
manded. "You usea to ride all day,
dance all night, and pipe every mag
to mast tor miles around. Don't try
to kid me, Allaire," he requested.
"You can't put your hair In plgtalli
and make a bee-line tor the neareat
convent all of a sudden. You'ri
raised plenty of bell In your time."
"I know." She Inclined her head.
Although I hope my particulai
brand was nev.ir In bad taste. But
I've suddenly realised what I used
only to suspect the best yeara ol
my life are going by, wasted In
silly Inane motions that have no
stgnlflcanca whatever."
8he absently twined a linger In
a small tendril of blonde hair al
her forehead. "I want to feel worth
while," she said quietly. "Does that
sound like Chinese?"
"No," he ssld. "I understand pe
tectly. You'd like to -e the plonevt
woman traveling with her mate lo
covered wagon sbootlng at In
dlans with one hand and holding
ber baby In the other. Very admir
able, my dear. Every bored woman
feels like that on re In a while. Too
bad there aren't any more covered
wagona."

Ing that the way to catch birds is
by sprinkling salt on their tails !
literally true In regard to pelicans
on Great Salt Lake. Here many
birds have been trapped by the
formation of heavy salt crystals on
their tall feathers. The water Is so
briny that salt readily crystallzea
out of It, forming a crust on any
thing that Is alternately dipped in
the water and then dried. Many
pelicans have been trapped by the
lake's salt, because the burden ot
crystals was too heavy for them to
fly away. ,
Italy's training ol boys for war
Is nothing new In the history ol ;
arms. Ancient Sparta was even more
thorough than Mussolini . They be
gan their selection of soldiers-to-be
at birth.
Newborn babes were exhibited to
public view, and If they were deemed
puny or unfit, they were allowed to I
die. Others were brought up In
strictest care. At seven years all i
boys were taken from their mothers
by the state. Under government care
they were taught physical training,
perfect discipline, hardihood, and .
the science of war.
