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 . . .?

"You should have seen young Day! There's a horse
man for you."
"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.

Don't wear ft suit two days in

Don't get suits that fit too tight

If you're rousplctimioaly stout do
not buy clothes which drama tire

Over the Fence
Strange as It aeema, the University
of Nebraska football team once won
game outside of their stadium I
The freak touchdown was made when
Std Collins, center on the opposing
Lincoln (Neb ) High School 'team,
became over-anxious on snapping the
ball while deep tn the Lincoln terri
tory. It nailed clear over the high
wooden fence that surrounded the
playing field.
A mad scramble followed. Lundln,
Nebraska tackle, wormed through a
loose board and fell on -the ball for a j
touchdown, only one of the entire !
gume. Such a play would not be
possible today nn touchdowns by re
covery must now be made Inside of
the end cone.
Book of the Dead
It was the belief of ancient Egyp
tian that upon dying, a person had
to conduct himself according to the
laws of Osiris, supreme Judge of the
dead. A papyrus roll, "Book of the
Dead," waalnterred with the mummy
providing Instructions for Its spirit,
Ka, In the ways of llmbo-land. Ka
was expected to declare himself
Innocent of 43 sins before 42 differ
ent Judges. The papyrus of Anl. 78
feet long and one foot, three Inches
wide, includes these typical confes
sions: "O Eater of Harta ... I have not
made conspiracies: O Crackor of
McSsujht Srosfiemta, lab
Bones ... I have not told false
hoods: O Eyes of Flames, I have not
played the hypocrite."
Man-Made Crater
Pour times the volume of Arizona's
Meteor Crater, the Hul.1 Rust-Mahon-ing
open-pit Iron-ore mine in the
Mefaaba range. Minnesota. Is the larg
est excavation of this type tn the
world. Miles of railroad track wind
down 350 feet to the bottom of the
pit from which 225,000,000. cubic
yards of earth, rock and iron ore
have been excavated.
Work has been carried on In this
location for 42 years.

Don't be afraid to experiment with
colors.
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.
