Chapter 25 Goaslp About Richard ""JAD, Tony," Carl was saying vJ to tha man Leeds, newly re turned from England, what do you think 01 our young entry, eh? we've continued using th- Bran- aywine mood, and imp- ted, in addition, a number of fine litches from England. Well, sir, I declare, I think we've developed a cross bred pack, uniform as to type, that is the equal of anything in this country! "I think you're right there, Carl." Tony Leeds was enthusias tic. ". . . Never seen anything like 'ml" Richard, from the depth of his leather arm-chair asked: "What's the number of your young entry? . . about 14 couple? known as a sportsman, on com sides of the Atlantic; and he had been a good friend of the Stafford for years. He was shorter than medium height, and of a bronze, rugged ugliness, that somehow made him immensely attractive. He had flirt ed, quite innocuously, with Honey and Nina, by turns, and "how Nina hoped that something might come of his friendship with Cordelia Thorpe . . . though she was rather doubtful. It was funny about lovely Cor delia . . . she never, never fell for anyone. It was as though she had once loved very desperately, and lost . . . But Nina knew for certain that this was not so. When the other had left, and; they were settled comfortably by: the fire, Tony said: "You and' Honey both marriedl ... I have a lot to get caught up with. And, by the way, your young David is as nice a chap as I ve met up with in many a day!" "You bet he Is Tony." "And guts . . . God! That fellow's got guts, Nina." "Hasn't he? I was Inordinately proud today." She took a deep breath. "And Richard, Tony . . . Honey's frightfully haoDV with him . . . You'd met before, hadn't you?" Yes. All over Europe. Tell me. had either of you . . . had Honey known him long, before she . . .? Nina laugnea. i la-Ai in.

"Just . . . and speaking of young entry," Carl beamed at David, "vou should have seen vouna Dav. here, Hesterl There's a horseman lor you! i was troubled, when you went out, Mr. Day. These friends or Carl s are a hard riding lot. I ad mire your courage." "Oh, I was scared enough, some times, all right ... but Lord, I could get enthusiastic about the port! Richard remarked, with a smile, that his enthusiasm alone, had carried him over a good many ob stacles already. But David was ready for him., "Enthusiasm or horsemanship, I got over, didn't I?" Everybody laughed. Nina said: "I thought you were goner, darling, at that last post and rail, near the entrance to Scarborough wood! "It would have been too bad." murmured Richard, surveying his liass, it ne unci nad a bit oi bad uck, right at the last!" "Bad luck . . . nonsense!" cut In Carl, in his hearty way taking the sting from his words. "He ap proached the bar with his horse exirncica. ana not a leg under mm to jump with!" David said: "I'd nrobably agree with you, if I knew what you were talking about, sir . . . hut I still say: 'I got over, didn't I?' " There was more laughter and ribbing of Carl, this time, and presently Hester's cool voice broke "An hour 'til dinner, people . ." And the group began to break up. Tony Asks A Question TVJNY Leeds came over to Nina. 1 "Stay down for a few minutes, will you, Nina? You always used to be able to dress like the wind. I haven't seen you for a year do you realize that? We've time for chat." "All right . . . David, lamb, take the first bath, and then draw mine, will you? Tony and I want to go over old times a bit." Tony Leeds was a man about Richard's age. He was rather well "Long! My dear, she met him out in Chicago, and was married to him in three weeks!" "Hm-m-m." Tony lit a cigarette with his steady hands, that were the color of an Indian's. "Whii do you mean: 'Hm-m-m'?" Nina's heart was beating a little faster. "Three weeks. Just like that, eh?" Tony seemed to deliberate for a minute, then he said: "Damned attractive fellow . ." and started to chat about other things. The Prize Sponger A FTER a bit, Nina went upstairs to dress; but she discovered she'd left her powder in the pock et of her polo coat, and went downstairs again, to get it. Tony's voice sounded from the library. "Personally, Carl, I like him . . . but he's got the reputation of being the prize sponger of all time. He has a positive talent for procuring invitations, and then drawing them out to unheard of lengths . . . only he has such a damn nice personality that his victims don t realize he s playing them for a sticker." Nina couldn't help hearing, as she walked to the hall closet. ". . . For example: he and I went on a weekend visit to the young Earl of Waring's shooting-box, in October, one year ... At Easier, on the Riviera, I ran into him again still with the Earl, just a continuation of the weekend!" Carl's voice murmured: "By golly, that is talent for you. Isn't it, Tony?" Nina looked throuah the coats. and found her own. She knew that thev were srienk- ing of Richard: and she thought: "How absurd! Why I don't care . 1 don t care if he s ruined a thousand virgins and murdered his grandmother foi her life insur ance ... I shall still love him! As she passed through the hall again, Tony was saying something that made her stop and listen. fCopyriQhi. 1937, ilaronret Utrtag) Richard halla Nina nn thu ttjUr landing- to talk of lore, tomorrow.

Pay particular attention to tne "V formed by your collar tine and coat lapels. This nrea, though rela tively small, la most conspicuous, tf It's "dressed properly," chances are you'll present a picture of good grooming. A neatlv tied necktie ot good material, of a color to oiend I or contrast with your suit can do wonders. If you have a short neck don t wear a high collar. It's possible to buy either stiff (preferred) or soft collars which conform to your pe cullar neck construction. If you vear a soft collar use a I collar pin, unless It has tabs or buttons down. Pins should be plain. I A pocket handkerchief gives a final, smart touch to a man's dress If It's right. Wear a white nand kerchief (of good linen) with a white shirt or white collar. Wear a harmonious colored square otherwise.
