Honer, Nina'i jay, plump, youthful mother, it crazy about Richard, her new husband. David, a young auto salesman, adoret Nina and has urged her to marry him. Chapter 16 .ilone With Richard HONEY was still looking anx ious, so Nina asked: "Darling, don't you feel well?" Her mother gave a little laugh ... it didn't sound quite like her, Somehow. "It's probably naughty of me to ay this to you, baby, but being married just newly married to Richard does not tend to make one feel exactly . . . placid. Sometimes, I feel a trifle worn out. . . ." She blushed at herself and looked more natural. "It will pass . , . though I hope not!" Nina felt a stirring in her breast. She knew it for what it was ealousy; but she tried to tell her elf that it was concern for Honey. Horrible state of affairs. set out in the latter's chauffeur driven Lincoln, shortly after breakfast They were to make the journey in easy stages, pausing to visit friends on the way. Honey's little round lace peered tearfully at them through the car, window, above Richard s orchids.' The minute they disappeared around the corner, Nina bolted to her room, and then bolted out of the house; and she didn't come back until the late afternoon. Richard wasn't about then, but at 6:30 when she came down, he was mixing cocktails in the living ronm. Nina took two, and then promptly wished she hadn't. Fears and doubts began to Iron themselves out, and she found her self looking forward to the eve ning with joyous anticipation. one naa on a simple nixie aress with a chaste, high neck line and cap sleeves. It was yellow the. color that Hester Semple couldn't wear, and that Nina could, so ad vantageously. Its seductiveness lay in the clever way it was moulded to the figure . . . suggestive, rather than revealing. It was one of those deceptively ingenue frocks, that your aunt Minnie couldn't pos sibly object to. It was new. "That's new, isn't It?" And she said: "Yes." And he said: "It's bad." And she said: "Oh, do you fhfnlt so?" It was a misty, delirious dream. It was heaven on earth. It was wrong. But the next time she heard of It, it was all settled. Honey was nolna to Palm Beach with Horseface in week and Richard was not. Nina's knees almost sassed bi neath her as she heard the news; but in a moment she felt better, for Honey went on. "Richard's had a marvelous in vitation to fly up to Canada and go on a month's hunting trip. So what with everyone telling me that I'm looking more like a hag every minute . . , and this opportunity for him, coming at the same time, it seemed like a sensible decision to make." Richard said: "I didn't want to accept, naturally, and leava my mall bride at noma . . , but ince . . ." Nina cut In. She had to ask one question, quickly. "When do you leave Richard?" He smiled at her slowly. "You and I are going to keep tha home fires burning for a few days, darling ... I leave a week after Honey." In spite of her efforts to com mand it, Nina's heart broke into Its familiar tap-dance. A week alone with him. . . . Exerting The Will-Power WHEN the day of Honey's de parture did dawn at last, Nina rolled over in bed, and with the last vestige of her will-power lift ed the telephone and invited her self down to Harmony for the weekend. Then she called Cordelia to ask her over for dinner that night "I'm depressed because Honey's going away. There'll be just the three of us. . . ." But Cordelia said she was aw fully sorry, she had an engage ment; and Nina hung up, trying hard to quell the feeling of excite ment that rose within her. . Well, she had asked Cordelia, and had made arrangements to go down to Harmony, the next day ... So she had done her best, any way. . . . Honey and Carrie Van Alstyna And then they switched to the atrocious creation that that traitor Van Alstyne had chosen to travel in , . , and their conversation was gay and innocuous. They had another cocktail and went in to dinner. With Burning Desire WHEN it happened, it came like a bolt from the blue. Nina and Richard were playing backgammon, and Bridget had just come in to ask if there was anything else she could do for them, before retiring. Nina said: "No, thank you, Brid it," and Richard said the same; and then, when the house had set tled down to that stillness for tha night which is more enfolding than anything else in the world . . . he rose quietly and lifted the table away. For a delirious half-second Nina knew what was coming . . . and then it was reality. She was in his arms. 'Nina . . . Nina ... It iust is. that's all. It's bigger than we are. Bigger than right or wrong ... or life. We couldn't stop it any more than we could stop the sun from rising. Precious . . . beautiful . . ." His lips again, tender, demanding. It was a misty, delirious dream . . . It was heaven on earth ... It was wrong. "Kichard . . ." He was looking at her with all the things that had been in the back of his eyes, quite open now; tenderness, and admiration, and a burning desire that was so fierce it seared her, and left her weak. It fanned'her own terrible long ing, until it seemed that the whole meaning of life . . . the whole rea son for their having been born, was so mat tnis .moment could be. After an ntcrvnl that could not be measured by time, he released her and drew her down beside him, onto one of the seats by the fire. (Copyright. 19X7, M avotx ret llertog) Nina elopet, tomorrow.

Before the storm It looked aa though the war between France and England, then In Its 23rd year, would never end. France waa begging for peace but Edward III of England stubbornly held out. Here la the account of the results of the storm as given by Jean Frolssart, famous French chron icler of the time: During the time that the French commissioners were passing backwards and forwards from the king to his council and unable to obtnln any favorable answer to their efforts, there happened such a storm and vio lent tempest of thunder and hall, which fell on the English army, that It seemed as If the world were to come to an end. The hailstones were so large aa to kill men and beasts, and the boldest were frelghtened. The king turned himself toward the church of Our Lady of Chartres, and religiously vowed to the Virgin that he would accept terms of peace." King Edward kept his vow by sign lng the famous Treaty of Bretlgny, brining the war to an end. Unbalanced Pounds.
