Elchrd, lh charming, well tailored itepather, hat a passion ate ngari lor Nina. Boner, fflna's gay, plump, youthul mother, is wild about Richard, her twclv acquired hue band. David, a bright young auto taleeman, adoret Nina and strive to make her happy on hie email ealary. Chapter 24 David Goee, Hunting AFTER the game, David came over to Nina and kissed her, and from the queer little crooked mile that appeared at one corner of Gracie'a mouth. Nina began to understand the girl's antagonistic attitude, still better. For the first time, she thought of David in a new light . . . gay. eopper-headed David breezing In to another girl's life, as he had into hers, and leaving his own special brand on her heart She thought of the girls at Cordelia'j dinner, who had remembered him from that one evening In "Montmartre" back in the autumn. She thought: "Um-m-m. The boy's got something!" And she looked up at him with amused, af fectionate . . . provocative eyes. David forgot himself, complete ly, then, and dived tor tier again. "What do you think of my girl?" he asked, absurdly, and with her new awareness Nina realized that Gracie Nolan'i praises were i shade too hearty. Bv the time the oartv broke up, Nina had her all sized UD . . . and the most important thing about her was this: in Gracie vou could have a friend or an enemy for life. There would be nothing she wouldn't do. underhand or above board, to keep you whichever of those two things you happened to be. Nina also realized that If It were case of loving someone. Gracie would probably double up on ner efforts. She remembered that funny lit tle crooked smile, and she thought: "On your toes, Ninal" "Gosh, Nina, It's been swell meeting you. You'd better be pre pared to have little Grade in your life, from now on, pal." And Nina thought: "I bet shell be!" "Goodnight, Gracie . . . you were darling to have me. We'll get to gether soon . . On the way home, David said: "Gracie was crazy about you, toney . . ." But Nina had different leas. A Pitiful Little Place' HONEY was trying to get away from the exuberant Button. ". . . Wait a minute. Honey. Pause and look around. You are now In the 'foyer my friend! Lie down, Buttonl" Honey gave a startled glance bout the dark little cubicle. ". . . And here's the living-room, darling , , . sweet, don't you think?" Honey looked somewhat re lieved. Although she had been home from the south for two weeks, she had been confined to her bed with an annoying attack of grippe. This was her first visit to the apartment "Why . . . why, you clever baby, you!" She really liked it "You nave a flair for decorating. Nina. I've always known that . . . but and did you and Bridget really make those curtains. wourselues? ... of course. It's a bit empty, isn't it? But you'll pick up lovely antique pieces, little by little. I sunoose ..." Nina laughed. "We will not. This has stretched the purse-strings to the limit as it Is. Come on and see how well my things look in the bedroom." They went down the narrow hall. Honey was strangely silent "Urn, yes. The furniture fits In quite well . . . considering the size of the room." And the tiny kitchen. And the tinier bath. "Yes , . . cunning, Nina. Awfully eor.y." But It wasn't until they were back in the blue and white living room, sipping tea and little cakes (baker's) that Honey spoke her mind. "Now listen, baby. I think you've managed too. too beauti fully . . . your figures stagger me. I didn't know there were such reasonable things to be had . . . but . . . Nina, child, will vou kindlv tell me why all this rigid economy is ntctssary? This tiny boi of a place? . . ." "Why, Honey dear, I told you. David's only beginning . , . tie's liut 24. He only makes $50 and oc casionally $60 a week!" Honey knew all that "But surely vou knew I'd con tinue your allowance. We agreed that two hundred a month was enough when vou were living at home with all vour expenses paid . , . but I told you. that when vou got married I'd Increase it if nec essary. Your daddy would have wanted me to. Nina . . Nina dar ling, how do you think your mother feels, seeing her only child living in a pitiful little place like this . . . doing her own housework? . And when it needn't be, at all!" Nina tried to laugh her out of her concern. "Well, darling, my mother can feel perfectly happy, because her daughter is. And this isn't a 'piti ful little place' it's adorable. I'm naving a marvelous time." But Honey's worried frown would not go away. "I see. So your good looking David is one of those selfish, up right young men who will make his wife suffer and go without things, rather than accept a little financial help from herl I've heard of people like that . . ." "Now . . . Hon-eyl Don't be naughty. I think it's the finest atti tude a man can tike, and I'm proud of him for it. I'll go on with my allowance, if I may. get my clothes with some of it and javt the rest." Honey looked as though the were going to cry. "Don't call me 'naughty,' dar ling ... All I want in the world u for my baby to be happy, you know that. But it does seem like such a silly, old-fashioned stanc for a young man to take! . . . Why Richard is the most perfect hus band a woman could ever hope tc have, and yet he's perfectly sirnpli and broadminded about letting m go on sharing the expenses . . ." Nina had wondered about that Admiration For David AND now, the Days were havlni another party given for them by Carl and Hester Semple thi! time a house party at Harmoriy. The Semnles, the Days, the Chal loners, Cordelia Thorpe and a man named Tony Leeds. Oh. and But ton, of course, staying in rathei sulky solitude in one of the tow of kennels that had been empty since Hester'a reign. It was Saturday afternoon, and with the exception of Honey and Hester, they had all been hunting . . . even David. David's hunting had been hys terical, something to write a book about His previous experience with horse flesh had been confined to a few rides In the Park ("on flush Sundays") from a West Side riding academy. But today, clad in a pair of Carl's breeches, a turtle-neck sweater and tweed coat he had bounced and flapped his way over the countryside, un til ne was actually in at the death . . . without a single fall to mar his record. Nina thought she would never forget the picture he mada: face set and excited, copper hair stand ing up in the wind (he lost his hat at the first fence) clucking to his mount and urging it forward with terms that applied more to automobile row, than the hunting neia. "Step on the gas there, babyl" "Whoa use your brakes, kid." "Whoop-lal Over we gol How's the old chassis holding out?" But he got results, lust the same. Lilith who had rescued him from the kicking horses In the au tumnand voung Tommy what- ever-Jils-name-was, and the Mas ter ., . and, of course, the whole Harmony party, watched him. fearful and marveling. Of the lot It was Richard. I,"lna noticed, whose intense dislike of the younger man would not per mit of admiration. Richard riding at full gallop lifting his horse over a difficult lump , . . well, he Kwas something lyric to watch. But somehow, beside David s ndicu-: lous exhibition of determination and courage ... It had paled a little. David was the man of the hour. He was pleased as a kid about it Standing now. as usual, with his back to the roaring fire, Carl Sem ple was going over the day's run, for the benefit of the two ladies who had not been present . . . Though Honey, as usual, was sit ting by Richard, holding his hand, watching him . . . quite oblivious of anyone else, or what they were saying. "We had a field of 63. and hounds were cast about two miles north of the kennels, where they found immediately. After a 45 minute run, crossing Little Creek river and the Sutton coverts, fox went to earth. But the hounds found again, and ran a good hour down Wistaria road and on to the Miles covert where they checked in a bit of plough . . . Nina saw Lilith and young Tom my coming through the square hall toward the library; and she noticed that Hester saw them loo and hastily straightened the tea things, pulled the bell cord for Clayton, glanced about the room, and smoothed her hair with her white, white hand. It seemed to Nina (hat she even set her face in a gracious expression of welcome . for these people whom she had known for years! These two. who were in and out of the house every dayl What was It about Hester? Whit made her so queer, and punctili ous ... so remote? It gave Nina the creeps. (CopvrtgSI, IMT.
