CHAPTER VIII
. TWO days later Diana and
: Stephen were married. They
had planned It all on the trip
back up to the city. He insisted
' on taking her to the Clarendon,
' rather than Back to her rooming
house.
"YouTl be more comfortable,"
he (aid. He gave her a generous
check "for expenses" and said,
"Well call It an advance If you
like," when Diana protested.
She had never had so much
money of her own in her life. 1
Five hundred dollarsl She would
have laughed tf she'd known that
. Stephen feared it might not be
enough, but was diffident about
offering her more. The hotel room
, with Its shining bath was the last
word In luxury. She put herself

-wife of Stephen Curt. A pompa-

Then' she went shopping for a
wedding outfit
She finally decided on a, Como

always longed to buy. She also
found a - black dress in sheer
woolen with a softly-draped, criss
crossing - bodice. Filmy under
wear, hose and cosmetics.
;. , On their wedding morning a
bleak wind blew steadily and
.sudden flurries of wet snow fell
at intervals. Dressing, Diana re-'
.. fleeted that if the old saying "hap
py is the bride the sun shines on"
were true.- there were indeed'
tstormy' days ahead for her andi

"Nothing1 garish or flamboyant
for you, darling," he said, "some

as 'he placed-the flowers in her
hands.- She thanked him, a lump
in .her throat which- she strove
valiantly to swallow,

"having Diana about they'd be
friends, but he wouldn't feel badly
tot parting. She saw herself through
-.40 years, going to Stephen for
bdvice, still being friends. When
he went into her little business,
he'd help her get started.
It wouldn't be like that with
Phil Bruce. It wouldn't be safe
to marry him for convenience.
You could tell that by looking
Into his deep, ardent eyes.
Phil took them to the Savola
for a wedding luncheon. Diana
laughed a lot and talked a little
feverishly. Stephen remembered
once, thinking she'd be like a child

when she was happy. She was
happy now and very much ex
cited. Her face was exquisitely
flushed and-Phil Bruce could not
take his eyes off her. Stephen
saw that, too. What a couple
they'd make, he was thinking
young, gay and warmly ardent.
But Diana was his, Stephen's wife
for a time at least. She'd have to
remember that Even Phil Bruce
mustn't interfere.
He rose when they had finished
luncheon and took Diana firmly
by the arm, bundled her Into her
coat, led her gently from the
room, Phil trailing behind.
"Now you run along." Stephen
said to Phil. "Your part of the
cecmony is over. We'll be seeing
you."
Diana barely had time to call.
"Thanks for everything!" before
Stephen whisked her away.
"Where do we go from here?"
she demanded, little giddily.
"I'm taking you home," he said.
"I want you to get settled and
meet my sister, Adela." Inside
the cab he turned to her. "I could
see that you and Phil were at
tracted to each other. That will
be all right after the divorce,
I'll give you both my blessing.
But I must remind you that while
we are married you must to all
appearances be truly my wife."
Diana sat back with a sudden
swift jolt. Anger flashed into her
eyes, Don v be absurd! xou
know I only met the man this
morning!"
"I know Phil," Stephen said
dryly. "He's always going off the
deep end about some woman.
Just keep him in his place!"
Thanks for the warning," she
said stiffly, humiliated. Was ha

When the first census of manu
facturers was taken in 1810, the
manufacturing volume for the
United States was $172,000,000
o year. Now the value of manu
factured products at factory ap
proximates $60,000,000,000 a
year or 350 times the 1810 fig
ure. Production in American fac
tories in one day now equals that
of the entire year in 1810.
