FOR THE LOVE OF PAM
By VJVIEN GREY:
YESTERDAY: Partly twcaius
of a bet with Antoin. the or
chestra leader, but mostly b
raiue he wanted to tee Pam
Quellertm aoain, Jerry Win
thropc hat atked her to a done
at Casa Marina. Jerry't mother
haj been very nice to Pamela,
hie eiiter hae been rude, and
nolo Freda Barington, whom
Jerry hat known a Long time, if
talking with him about his nets
friend.
Chapter Four
Freda's Ring
yOU might tell me who iht Is."
Fred laid Anally.
Jerry turned to search the girl's
face. There had been something
in her voice that caught his at
tention. Freda Btrington was the
fi
irl nit name hao always been
inked with. He had sauired her
to dances and made aav whirls
of night clubs with her. And
somehow she always showed up
at the places his family spent
their winters.
Freda and her mother, the In
diligent and very rich Toni Bar
ington, invariably arrived a few
days after the Winthropes had
settled in winter quarters. It had
been a taken-for-granted thing,
and Freda was a nice girl, Jerry
admitted. She had been a grand
playmate.
Jerry glanced at her now and
was acutely aware of the large
square diamond on the third An
ger of her left hand. His diamond.
He remembered the day he got it
for her.
He had driven Freda and her
mother back to their apartment
in New York after a week-end
with his mother in Westchester.
Mrs. Barington wanted to pick up
a Bracelet sne was naving re
paired at a fashionable jeweler's.
Freda was intrigued by the dia
mond display and the clerk, rec
ognizing her as the daughter of
one or the nrm s Dest customers,
got out the ring that Interested
Freda most.
Freda slipped it on her finger
and turned delightedly to Jerry.
"Look, darling! I just ache with
envy of the girl who'll get this!"
Mrs. Barington had breezed
along lust then. Her blithe, care.
less glance had gont from Freda
to Jerry.
"Well, why not now, Jerry?'
the had asked lightly.
Freda's eyes had questioned his
lor a tull minute.
"Why not!" from Jerry.
So Freda kept the ring and the
price of it was put on Jerry's
lather s account.
Freda took off the ring and
there on Fifth Avenue insisted
Jerry make a ceremony of put
ting it on her finger.
"Now kiss mel" she commanded
Imperiously.
Jerry kissed her.
"You two darling Idiots!" Mrs.
Barington said, laughing gently.
And people passing turned to
look and smile at the handsome
young couple so obviously in love.
Next day when he got home
he had told his mother about giv
ing f reda the ring.
"Oh, darling, I'm so glad!" She
had stood on tipoe then and
kissed her tall, handsome son.
His mother and Ton! Baring
ton had been girlhood friends.
Only Toni had been rich even
then, as the only daughter of the
owners of a prosperous glass fac
tory at Shirley, Indiana. His
mother liked Freda. . . .
"Who is she, Jerry?" Freda's
voice penetrated his thoughts.
"Her name is Pamela." Jerry
hesitated, as if realizing for the
first time that he knew little
mors about her than Just her
name.
"And she's the sweetest, loveli
est thing in the world! Freda
finished for him, laughing. "Well,
I suppose there are times when
that's all a man needs know about
a girl."
Dinner For Two
HIR voice was light, but her
eyes were on him with more
than a casual glance.
"You haven't said a word to me,
Jerry," she continued. "You
haven't even noticed the dress
that I put on purpose)? for you.
Mother made me buy it because
he said you'd like it. Can't you
put yourself out a little and say
something nice to a girl once in a
while?"
Jerry looked at her then. Freda
was beautiful in a sleek, smooth
way. She was always dramatic as
to dress.
"You're magnificent tonight,
Freda," he said obedientlv.
"There! That's much better!"
he smiled. "And now aren't you
gutrg to ask me to dancer
"Of course. Freda."
They danced. Then Jerry was
bark beside Pam, claiming her
from the little group of young
men milling' about her.
He insisted upon dinner at the
hotel. l ou owe me that," he
urged when Pam susm-sted home.
"for all the time I've let you
spend with these other fellows."
Pam raid then she tnuit tele
phone Melita. She slwavs let Me.
lita know when she wouldn't he
home for dinner so Melita
wouldn't wait and spoil her ow n
evening.
Jerry smiled whimsically. "All
right," he said. "You've got some
quaint tricks, but I like them."
And he did. he reflected, ss he
lipped the coin in the box for
her and waited while she talked.
She was so refreshingly differ
ent So sincere and considerate

with everyone. That was part of
it, he thought. That was the thing
that was reaching out and taking
hold of bis heart Her beauty
alone couldn't have '.one it He
had seen hundreds of beautiful
girls. It was that sweet gracious
ness, that unselfishness running
like a bright thread through all
the pattern of her living, that
drew him to Pam. It was a golden
chain linking him to her life. And
he was glad.
There were no more unhappy
incidents that evening. Jerry's
mother stopped a moment at their
table, but declined Jerry's invi
tation to dine with them.
"I know young people like to
be alone," she said. "I won't snoil
this for you." And then went on
to another table.
"She's sweet," Pam said a trace
wistfully, recalling her own
mother.
"Adele's swell." Jerry was
looking thoughtfully at his
mother, reflecting that if she
knew what he did about Pam she
would not feel their time alone
together was to be so short that
she might spoil something Just by
having dinner with them. It had
been a rather generous gesture
on the part of his mother, yet it
gave him a clue to her belief re
garding himself and Pam.
It was evident she thought It
was to be on affair of short du
ration. The Kiss
THE fragrant dark of Florida
night was vaguely silvered
by moonlight when Pam and
Jerry finally walked down the
curving drive of the hotel toward
Jerry's car.
Fam was glad Jerry drove
slowly through the deserted
streets, while under the pale
moon. She was glad he didn't talk
much. She had never ceased to
love her home town. Key West
&ne loved me quaint charm o!
it Friendly little houses, their
shabbiness turned to beauty by
the shadows, nestled close as if
to give some long-gone seafarer's
wife neighborly companionship
even while he scrubbed the wide
floor-boards of her kitchen or
cooked the rich guava to richer
preserves.
To be there with the things she
had known and loved and Jerry
beside her was happiness
enough.
And Jerry, too, was thinking.
He was thinking of Pam and
Freda. Freda with her sleek,
smooth beauty. But that wasn't
the kind of beauty he wanted.
There had been dozens of girls
dancing there at the hotel who
had Freda's sort of beauty. It was
available at exclusive stores in
little jars. In pretty bottles, in
dresses and gadgets that bore
names representative of class and
distinction. It was purely and
wholly of the exterior. And it
left 'lim cold.
While Pam he dared look for
an instant at her lovely young
lace beside him, dream-swept,
exalted, her soft brown eyes and
gently tanned skin, a startlingly
lovely note against the gold of
her hair. Her beauty was real.
Something deep from within.
Like a lamp burning steadily.
Like a candle lighted In a cot
tage window. Her beautv was
real and natural. It had nothing
to do with things handed over
the counters of shops.
They reached P.im's home, with
Its lawns and garden much Inriier
than most of its neighbors and its
chimney that rose from a spacious
fireplace.
It had been a happy evening. In
spite of Lenore's cruel remarks.
As a family, the Quellertons had
always made a point of trying to
forget unpleasant things. Pam
still kept to that philosophy. It
had been one 01 the happiest eve
nings she had known since she
had been alone. The thought
frightened her because Jerry
was, after all, a winter man. She
must dismiss him quickly.
With a swift, audacious gesture,
she took one of the violets from
her dress, kissed the tip of her
finger, touched the kiss to the
violet and gave it to Jerry.
"There! That's good-night and
thank you for a lovely, lovely
time!"
She drew back then, startled at
what her impulse had led her to
do. But Jerry caught her hand
as he took the violet and raised
it to his lips and kissed each fin
ger tip.
"You're cuter than a mouse's
ear," he said, as he carefully put
the violet away.
Pam laughed. "How cute Is
that?" she asked.
For answer Jerry's arms closed
around her and drew her close
against his heart
"That cute," ha said as ha
kissed her.
Pam drew back, hurt and con
fused. "Don't look at me like that,
Pam." he said. "I mean so much
that I can't sav now. Things that
shonldn't mako you unhappy,
dear."
But still Pam drew back.
"Don't," she said softly, in a hurt
little voice. "Please don't say
anything more."
"Why, Pam? Is there someone
else?"
"No." she snswered thomht
fully. "After all, you're a wmter
man "
"Pam!" He claimed her hands
with a sort of humble reverence.
"I see what vou mean. But this
is different Please try to believe
me. You're going to have to some
day."

HER HAIR WAS HER FORTUNE
In 1925 Max Factor, Hollywood make-up expert and wig maker, imported a shipment of
amssing hair from a dealer in Bucharest. These tresses had an almost phosphorescent sheen
and were Talusble in adding highlights to wigs.
Factor learned that the hair was from the head of a "Madame Liedka," and nothing else
was ever known of her, save that she was considered a great beauty. Every two years a ship
ment of Liedka hair was received in Hollywood, and in 13 years the lady realised about $4,000
from the sale of her tresses)
Two years ago Madame Liedka died, at the age of 65. In the last two shipments her once
dark brown hair was now snow white, but still contained its unique sheen. All hair used by
wigmakers in this country is imported.
