The Character!
Nina, a nlc girl with ftaxtn
hair, hat ailen in lovt with htr
ttepfather.
Richard, Ihm charming, wll
tailored !epathr, to openly at
tentive to Nina.
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.

Hailstorm That Ended n war.
History's moat Important hailstorm
fell at Chartres, France. In April. 360.
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.
Two bodies of unequal volume but
of the same weight will not balance
each other on an even-arm balanco
unless the balancing takes place In
a vacuum. The reason 1b the fact
that the larger body will displace a
greater volume of air and will be
buoyed up by a greater force than
will the smaller body. The larger
body will appear to be lighter In
weight than the smaller body.
Capsized at Her Launching.
Still unexplained Is the cause of the
fate of the JO.SOO-ton Prlnclpessa Jo
landa. the largest Italian ship of her
day. As she was launched on Sep
tember 22, 1907, near Spezla In the
Gulf of Genoa, a section of the
"cradle" clung to the ship's hull and
burst Into flames. Describing a wide
curve when she hit the water, the
Prlnclpessa Jolanda" turned over and
sank.
