Golden Rain ty bii-Jjargartt CVlddemer r- SYNOPSIS: Iris Lannlng has been caught up by her managing, tvenlthu and forceful Aunt Phina , and taken to New York from her home in Persia, Pa. Iris hat lived the tire or an mpoverienca aristo crat hitherto; now the ie being in traduced to the delights of Neto York. Her Aunt Phina ie America's leading couturiers and wealthy be sides ; her brother Owen designs for Phina; Owen's Hancee Stortd is Phina's business partner. For ths moment Iris docs not think much o her Aunt Ella and Uncle Will In Persia even ot Uorgan Black, who has told her that he loves her. Chapter II NEW YORK REVEL "TTELLO, Iris. Evening jacket! to 1 match all gowns, iports suits; that's right. It It notT But It Is as much as anyone's life Is worth to make a chalk mark on you till Miss Phlna comes." "Sure, Miss Slgrld," said the pret ty yellow-curled doll who had con royed Iris, becoming suddenly pert ly human. "I only brought her along or you to make the chalk marks. All I do's walk them! Both girls laughed. "Why Is everyone so afraid of aunt Phlna?" Iris asked when the girl, still giggling at her own wit, was gone. Slgrld had dismissed the other woman till Phlna arrived. "Power of personalty, I suppose, Blgrtd shrugged. "Owen Is afraid be cause she has always had blm under her thumb." "Slgrld, I'm on Owen's side," Iris laid. "I want you both to be happy. Why won't you marry blm unless he Itops working here? I should think rou'd like It" "Because, well as he does It, be Is ashamed of It: and because as long is he does It Phlna will own him as - ihe always has. And Phlna will hold blm through what he tblnka Is grati tude and honor. And eventually be will marry somebody whose father was not a Swede carpenter. That Is what Papa was. and darn good at his Job, too, I tell you! "Slgrld, you shan't talk so of my aunt! You don't know what she's been through.. She doesn't feel like that, she's always worked herself." "Girls, girls!" said I'htna's coo! rolce. Sbe was evej laugblng. "If ilther of you can abandon romance for a moment we'll get to work." Iris expected Slgrld to be ashamed or surprised. She was neither. "What do you want ntted first?' Slgrld asked as quietly as It noth ing had happened, and Phlna, also quietly, told ber. "How can you go on being her partner? Iris asked when Pblna had gone again. i "Why not?" Slgrld -asked; and Iria began to understand what Owen had said about wanting someone soft and nwian wltL him. Slgrld had a Northe.-n hardness. "Business Is one thing, personal feeling another. Pblna is one of the finest business women I know, and honest. She feels the same way about me. She rang for the women, and the work began. A FTER the fitting, which took all morning, aad luncheon with her aunt at the newest and biggest and most exciting hotel, she was sent home to He down until time tor the cocktail party.

She found herself being redressed from the skin out, different shoes, stockings, everything)! Unally ar rayed In black velvet wltb a short silver Jacket under an afternoon coat she had not seen. "But Is this right are yon sure?" she asked Honors. It seemed like a funny costume. "It's what Madame said you were to wear," the maid 'ssured her. She crowned the work with a close wrapped sllvoi turban, gave her fresh white gloves and sent her down to the wilting car, Dicky Ham ilton's madly-shsped. madly-palntsd runabout. Owen and Slgrld were al ready In the rumble, wherever he had found them. Dicky waa rather nice, now that he was alone, and. oddly, a little sad. "You're tho kind of girl that makes men feel romantic," he said. "Swearing allegiance, dropping on one knee, all that sort ot thing we read about when we were kids, you know? Where'd you think up your swell line?" His blue eyes looked so wistfully Into hers that she could not be entry at his words. She lsughed.

It Isn't a line. It's the only way I know how to behave!" "You mean you're real?" "As far as I know I'm real." "Never thought It up or any thing? Oosht Iris, from now on I'm your tr-rue knight. That Is, until you turn Into something else." - There was no visible bontess In the big studio apartment whore Dicky led them. A red-sashed negro waa playing a frenzied accordion to which fifteen or twenty girls and men were dancing. There were col ored lantern-like lights hanging here and there. The atory-and-a-half room was misted blue with clgaret smoke. Two painted life-size wooden Ren aissance Madonnas brooded, lost, above the place. There were t-pes-trles on the dark panele. walls. It might have been a revel of Cosmo de' Medici's but for the ac cordionist, and the taxi horns crying louder or softer, recurrently, below the enormous frosted windows draped In red damask fringed wltb gold. Georgia Blair danced past them. In scarlet velvet pajamas that made Iris's costume seem quiet by con trast. Sbe reached out unceremoni ously for Owen. "Here, take the platinum blonde," she ordered her partner, who effect ed the exchange swiftly and neatly.' Dicky saw a table under a window with cocktails and hors-d'osuvres. "Come along," he said to Iris, and dived through the dancers without waiting for her to follow. Two other men stood there with glasses. They all began to discuss polo loudly and continuously. f RIS stood still, gld ot a moment to look about her. Off in a corner, heedless of the accordion, a boy with a girl's chiffon scarf tied round his head was playing the piano. The scarf'a possessor, severely rallnrAri one foot on the piano bench, was singing to him "Why Was I Born?" In a mock-tragic voice. Two'or three other couples were nerched on sills and niiahinna n,fli.. iPZ cheerfully open love. Empty or uau-iuii glasses were everywhere. An arm came round her waist; Allan eeciey was with her. swinging her In his long-stepped dancing. She felt hlS thInnflSS. hlM av nrai-llnn smelt Ulao water faintly and clgareta of a very good kind aa he swung her down the room. The dance was so nearly done that they atopped directly before a fire side seat Allan drew her down Into It. There were embers of a Are j!utCu opoiivd wiuilowa had kept from overheating the room. His light-blue eyus considered her aa if he were looking at something very new, very Interesting which had been given him for a plaything. But wbat be said waa simple enough. "Like all thls7" "I'm crazy over IL It's llvln. anil the way It looks the llrhra nH spots of color, like a Matisse. Nntur. does imitate art even If Wilde had to say It." He looked surprised. "Who tnd you to talk to me about Matisse and wuae, young Iris?" he said lightly, but still aa If be wanted to know; 'and as if anything he said, Iris thought Indignantly, was all right, "la there any reason whv it la tar. bidden? Doesn't your mother let you reror to modern painters? You asked me a question and I answered It. You're the second man who hn mm. ed as If I said things to make an effect I don't and Iidon't know any- nody who does." "I am very sorry," said Allan sim ply, his voice amused again: "Unfor tunately.
