"Oh, Denny, then" Kv began
eagerly. But Marylin, still avid, in
terrupted. "Denny, tell us more about Mitel's
taking a place at Southampton. Is
she really going to? Maybe she'll ask
us all for weekends!"
Denny glanced at Eve resignedly.
The Featherstones, amiably oblivious
In their interest in the outside world,
had no intention of leaving the lovers
alone.
"Oh, all right,- he said.
"Tomorrow morning." Eve whis

lightful young man could have a good
deal more pleasure than without
money in the country.
"Gosh, Eve, I don't see how jou've
stood it!" he cried.
"I Ifke it," she said, and saw an
opening for what she wanted to say.
"But the Clevelands aren't the hunt
breakfast sort, Denny dear. You
can't say that our parlor In the eve
nings is society-column stuffl You
saw what a fine, simple sort of man
he is. You've met him at last, and
he likes you." They were walking on
now through the narrow path; Eve
spoke back over her shoulder. "Why
don't you speak to him directly about
the publicity job in Northern Steel?
It's crazy to waft for Mitel to pull
wires when you're right here on th
ground with him. I can't understand
it."
Denny spoke doggedly: "Mltzl said
It would be fatal if I horned in for
myself in the middle of what she's
doing about it. I'm to go down to
Southampton with her over next
weekend and help her pick out that
place for the summer; she says she'll
have it all set up by then. You
mustn't forget she's a fine business
woman and a natural diplomat"

night, lingering In the hall outside
Denny's room.
They had breakfast alone, In their
sweaters, out on the bark portico in
the May sunshine. The ktr was sharp
ly sweol; the green lawn stretched
beyond them, glittering with dew
1 starred cobwebs. Above at the end
rose the budding orchard. They had
scarcely taken time yet to talk of
anything but love. Presently they
heard Marylln's window closed above
their heads; on this day of all days
she was getting up, hungry for more
talk I
"Come on to the orchardl" Eve said,
.laughing.
They ran out hand-ln-hand. She
laughed and threw back ,-r head,
looking around her. "Don't you love
it, Den?"
She had been telling him excitedly
about the white French lilacs, and
another nearly rose-colored kind, re
discovered among the purple ones on
each side the tall portico they had
just passed; and that the lilles-of-the-valley
had spread so that they were
having to root some up and throw
them away.
She flushed and laughed, walking
with him down the gravel path thai
was bordered with daffodils, past the
gnarled June rosebushes. Beyond the
strawberry bed. past the tangle of
berry vines, three rough wooden steps
took them presently to the narrow
path between the thickly-growing
wide-budding trees.
'Hut Not For Our Sort'
1"MIEY had climbed the steps and
X were in the midst cf the orchard
path before he answered; and then II
was seriously. He stopped. His arms
closed round her as they stood amon
the leaung trees in a little clearing,
the warm sun on their shoutders.
"I'd like it well enough as a back
ground to the Clevelands' sort of
life; riding horses and country clubs
ina nuni oreaxiasts and games. But
not for our sort of people. Nothing
but God's countryl Well, people like
us have to have the pleasures we can
UTord. and we can only find them In
cities."
He was speaking more seriously
than usual, her gay Denny. He hadn't
talked much, ever, of his early life,
out what tittle he had said had given
i pretty clear picture a guy spoilei
lad with an indulgent mother; Vir
ginia country-house; pome fort of fi
nancial crash, or it may merely have
been that the mony had come to an
md; the mother remarrying, -a man
Qono too fond of Denny; and Denny
the cat and Mitz a canary! What you
mean, darling?"
"I think Mitzi'g dragging It out on
purpose. Just to have you around."
Eve said resolutely. "All of us girls
have heard her Ulk about her tech
nique with men. How her mother
from Alabama taught her."
"Oh, yea " Denny was laughing
ays in. "Mother was the belle of the
countryside, like all proper South-
ern mothers any other attitude
about a Southern parent Is undaugh
terly. I remember! This is rich!"
Encouraged, Eve went on.
"She works It out like a business.
She tells how you should send your
self passionate anonymous notes in
boxes of orchids, timed to open when
men are there to hear about them.
She asks different men in for "cock
tails alt alone, three at a time, and
pretends each one has broken in on
the other without her knowing. She
buys herself theater tickets and pre
tends to the men she asks to go with
her that the tickets have been given
her by other men. . . ."
Denny grinned at her. "So she
doesn't really like me a bit, I'm just
window dressing?"
"Of course she likes you. That's
not the point. The point Is, if she'd
do such things, and she does, she's
capable of stretching out all this Job
business Just to keep you beauing
her around."
"Well." Denny said tolerantly, "I
think all that orchid stuff Is sort of
feminine and cute, but it's different
from anything so important as get
ting a man a belter Job. I don't think
you'ro fair to Mitzi, darling."
Ho stood still and took Eve's hands
as they stood under the budding trees,
and talked more seriously.
"Girls don't understand, dear. MiUl
is not only an old friend ot Mrs.
Cleveland's, but Mr. Cleveland has
been awfully interested in her too.
This new publicity department In
Northern Steel isn't to be got by Just
going hat in hand and saying. 'Sir,
I am a worthy young man.' You have
to have friends at court as well as
deliver the goods. If I thought tack
ling him myself would mean that I
could get the place and we could
get married, don't you think I'd have
roped and tied him last night?'
Eve began to say, "So you think hit
friendship for us doeeYt coiMt?"
when there was an interruption.
"I sa. I'm afraid I'm eavesdrop
ping," said George's slow voice.

The Real "tfead te"
Dead eye" has been an expression
In uh for some time to Indicate un
canny accuracy in kicking a football
between goal poets, sinking a basket
ball through the hoop, plugging the
bull's eye with a rifle or scoring in
other sport which require good aim
Whether or not the expression waa
born before Augle Kleckhefer Is diffi
cult to ascertain but It might well
have originated with him. He reallv
brvl a "deAd eye," figuratively and
physically.
Blind In his left eye throughout
his entire career, Kleckhefer ranked
with the greatest three-cushion bil
liard playera ol the world for nearly
30 yenrs. It started plnylng the
game at 10, won his first world's
title In 1918. repeated in 1919. 1021.
1927 and again In 1933, before his
death at 47.
Though normally right handed
the 3-cuahlon wizard used bis left
hand for shooting billiards In order
to line hts shots up with his only
good eye, the right.
Pilot Major of Ppnln
Whether or not Amerigo Vespucci
dnservea to have his name perpetual
en tn that of the New World will
never be known. In letter he left,
he laid clnlm to the discovery of
much of the New World. Modern
authorities on the subject allege that
he exaggerated many of his clnlm.
Vespucci was a merchant by pro
fession and only after ho passed the
half-century mark did he go to sea
On March 32, 15,08, he was appointed
Pilot Major of Spain la charge of
Instructing pilot, gathering geo
gniphlcal data and generally super
vising Spanish navigation. .
Cosmetic Alcohol
The Arabian word, "al-kohl, from
which our modern "alcohol" la de
rived, originally referred to a powder
of antimony or galena, used by Ara
bian women as an eyebrow paint
The usage of the word grew to In
clude any fine powder obtained by
trituration or sublimation, then Tor
my essence or spirit, finally for the
liquid to which it now applies.
