DON'T MARRY THE MAN The Characters Kathleen Greioryl beautiful, d haired daughter a Angut -regory who own The Golden "Irlmlne. Bridget Bllejri Gregory's- tx- ;ecretary. Yesterday: Kathleen decides Bridget ii necessary to her plane. Chapter Four Outline Of A Campaign pHE foyer of the apartment housing Miss Riley was not im . osaive, but Kathleen exclaimed ith pleasure when she stood on e threshold of Bridget's suite. "Like it?" Bridget, an exotic fig re in scarlet lounging pajamas, id opened the door. . "It's like you," Kathleen en tered. "Those cloudy blue walls ive an illusion of space; that .'hits furniture is so smartly sim ple; and the touches of gay color i e like your humor." Bridget laughed. "Then I'm Sim la and give an illusion of space, .'ome in. Kathleen glanced in to where a able, for two, was spread before i wide window. "You re expecting omeone," she demurred. "Expecting you," Bridget told ler. "I know the Gregorys. "Then you will listen .to my Dlans7" -By Jeanne Bowmen- can do if it's necessary. If it ts nec essary I'll scrub floors: I'll do any thing to make that damned Mac Donald eat dirt" Bridget studied her a few mo ments and her eyes were a little pitying, warmed with tenderness. "I'll go," she decided. "It will be . an interesting experiment in hu man behavior. Perhaps I'm won dering if your gold is real; won dering if you'll still be The Golden Girl when you've passed through a real world." "Haven't I been living in a real world?" inquired Kathleen indig nantly. "I'll ask you to answer that yourself later. It's going to be amusing to watch a feminine Mounty after her man. Now come, we've work to do. First on the list of musts is obtaining power of at torney, from your father. This is imperative if you have to force the right-of-way under Are. Next your name and background. My family lives in Chicago; we're le gion. They'll adopt you as one o) them and we can use their address as a medium of correspondence exchange with your father." "Then let me take the name ol Riley," suggested Kathleen, "and for a first name . . . Cleopatra, Cleo Riley." Bridget laughingly agreed. 'Til drop the Riley and be myself. Bridget Donahue." At three o'clock the next morn ing, Dan drove Cleo Riley, nee Kathleen went to a mirror. This was the face that "smirked" at MacDonald. "Curiosity has overcome discre tion," admitted the young woman. During dinner Kathleen out lined her campaign. "From what Dad said, I under stand both mines center around the town of Neutrality on the soutnern Colorado-Utah line. I want to go into that town as Just anotner gin. i don t want to be as sociated with the Uregoryt in any way. I want a reason for staying there for some time and I want a companion. I thought we might pose as artists." "Do you paint?" Inquired Brid get. Kathleen laughed. "I've never worked on anything but mv own kin. Aunt Beatrice says a futuris tic sunset would looh modest by comparison." "Small towns are curious." warned Bridget. "To pose as paint ers we'd have to splash color on canvas with some supped ion of motif. Personally, I couldn it paint the broad side of a barn." Kathleen sat a few moments In deep study. "I know an author. He does queer things and goes queer places." ' "It wouldn't be logical for two authors to be working on the same story at the same time," objected Bridget. "Of course it would give us the right to track the man to his lair, and the right to actually live in Neutrality for any length of time." "Then we'll be one author," de elded Kathleen. "You can handle a typewriter and I can't, so you're elected. I'll be a friend or cousin or companion." Bridget nodded. 'That might work." "Then you will go with me?" A Real World' TJRIDGET didn't answer at once. J She sat looking out through the cross-barred pane to white walls studded with warm yellow oblongs. "Do you realize what this would mean?" she asked. "Could you play your part? Could you cook ana clean, wear bargain rack frocks, do without, not only lux uries, but comforts? You know a mountain mining town is not a winter resort." Kathleen stood up. walked to the window and stood, heels squarely planted, hands clasped tightly behind her. "I don't know," she told Bridget when she turned. "I've never tried. But I can do anything anyone else Kathleen Gregory, to her home. Ii her bedroom Kathleen disrobed. Breaking The Shell THE walls were murals of pale gold, russet and green, against a dull white background. The bed was fit for a princess of childhood fairy talcs, ruffled canopy, ruffled flounce, and myriads of ruffled pil lows. She slipped under the golden puff of eiderdown. "I feel like a chicken In a golden egg," thought Kathleen. For a moment she forgot Don ald MacDonald. She was about tc break through her shell. For the first time in her life she was shed ding the Gregory insulation. "Every time I pick up a maaa tlne I see her smirking at me Kathleen slid out of bed and went to a mirror. She touched i switch and white lights blazed down on her; blazed out on her. The red-gold hair swung just above her shoulders In a curlinj roll. Its color was repeated in the braided belt about the ivory satin gown, and in the square neck. Brown eyes were shaded by lashes of brown with Conner tins, and arched by brows so strongly marked that tney set the charactei of the whole face. This then wai the face that "smirked" at MacDonald. Back she went to her bed to sit huddled in lacy pillows, and te plan her wardrobe. Bridget said she would have to "dress down." But color was the all-important princinle and that could be nur- chasen from a bargain basement as easily as from a snlnn. There, In the heart of her golden shell, she dreamed of her conquest, visualized herself meeting ana conquering this Donald MacDon ald. The man was a hazy figure, unimportant except as an audi ence. He stood at attention as she saw herself meeting him under various circumstances, all romantic. While Kathleen dreamed. Brid get sat before her desk working out the practical side of their ad venture, long pages filled with notes and figures. And when these were completed she went to the window nncl watched the dawn ap pear behind tall buildings and of fered a small, incoherent prayer. " She's had everything from toys to the hearts of men handed her on a golden platter. Let her light for this" fttffyi, ie.is, rm4 ,' Tomorrow i Meetlnr with Donald MacDonald.

RUSSIA 5tCAU5f THtCHRlSTiAH CHURCH Of ST. opHlf V1P6 $0 bsauvful century etm.1 mijjj fU'llKlon of Beauty In an effort to unite Russia under one common religion, Prince Vladi mir, 10th-century ruler, undertook a thorough study of the Mohamme dan, Hebrew, Roman, and Greek forma of worship. Vladimir sent emlasarles to neigh boring countries to study and report on what they found. Thoee sent to Constantinople attended tho rites of the Greek church In St. Sophia, a re markable structure built by Justin ian, later destroyed and rebuilt. So carried away were they bv the beauty and magnificence of the church and th Christian rites that they reported to Vladimir: "We did not know whether we were on Earth or In Heaven." Impressed, Vladimir Immediately declared that the religion of tho Greek Orthodox Church should be adopted officially throughout all Russia. It remained the Russian re liglon until all churches were de stroyed after the Revolution. St. Sophia, the church that caused this momentous change, was the work of more than 10.000 workmen who were employed seven years in eroct Ing It. The building formed a square whoso Interior represented a Greek cross. A series of domes rose from the center. The interior was decorated with the finest mosaics and marbles; the altar Itself consisted of molten gold into which had been thrown pearls, sapphires, diamonds, and other pre cious gems. It weighed 320,000 pounds and cost $66,000,000. When, In 1453, the Turks took pos session of Constantinople, they trans formed St. Sophia Into & mosque, destroying or concealing the Chris tian fittings. Tomorrow: General Stuart's march.
