WOMEN WON'T TALK J 'BY "RENE RYERSON MART CHAPTER I TT all began the day before. Naturally, I didn't know that anything was beginning then. I mean It began the day before wo found the body. That was on Wednesday, and It was unreason ably hot for early June, hot with a muggy, uncomfortable stickiness that presaged the storm to come. Margaret had come up to my room after dinner to finish ar ranging my things. We'd thought we had the house all aet for the summer, and then that morning had come a tele gram from Kathy she's my old est granddaughter, child of Wal ter's first marriage saying that the had changed her plans and was coming to stay at Kraiktower for a couple of weeks before go ing to New York. , i Originally Margaret had un packed my things in the turquoise bedroom, which has the sitting room attached. They are the rooms I usually occupy at Kraik tower. Connie, she's Walter's sec ond wife, and a comely thing with her blond hair and tawny skin, had been assigned the mulberry room at the other front comer of the house, while Jack and Judy, the twins, and their nurse occu pied the rose room In between. Margaret is the only servant who regularly sleeps In the house. She has the back bedroom at the head of the stairs. Margaret has been with me for 30 years. But Kathy's coming upset this neat arrangement. Everyone at Kraiktower In lummer wants a bedroom fronting the lake. Not only because of the lake breeze but because they are the only decently furnished bed rooms in the house. Ten years before when Michael and I had the house done over, ex pecting to make it our year-round home, we had these four spacious front rooms redecorated in the colorful modern manner with all new furnishings. Our old furni ture and the family heirlooms from which we could sot bring ourselves to part were relegated to the back bedrooms. As a result one of these is done in atrocious golden oak with a brass bedstead which was our wedding bed, and the other, the one Margaret sleeps in, is a con glomeration of odds and ends in cluding the enormous black wal nut wardrobe which Grandmother Pottier brought over from France with her a century ago. So following receipt of the tele gram that morning, Margaret and I bad gone into consultation and decided it would be best if I moved into the mulberry room, gave Kathy the rose room, and put Connie into the turquoise room. Then the twins' small beds could be put up in the adjoining sitting room. That would leave the golden oak room to serve as Walter's dressing room when he came down. Miss Lake, the nurse, would have to go out to the tower to sleep. Everyone was suited except Miss Lake. She sulked all day after Connie apologetically in formed her of the change. She felt herself a bit above the other servants and didn't like the pros pect of sleeping in the queer, four-storied tower which gives our summer place its name, and furnishes living space for the chauffeur, cook, and housemaid, besides serving as a garage. As I said, Imogene Lake sulked and nut in her time fussing un necessarily with the children ana left all the labor of moving our clothes and personal belongings to Margaret and Clara, the up stairs maid. It was no wonder that Margaret was tired and a bit snappish. She finished arranging my toilet things on the dressing table, put my favorite books where I could reach them without getting out of bed, and with a muffled, "Good night, Miss Marthe," at last hob bled out of the room. I was too listless to turn the radio on after she had gone. Be sides I had some grim thoughts stalking my conscience that might as well be faced then as later. Kathy's dark eyes that morning when she had rushed in and grabbed me in one of her hoy denish hugs had thoroughly up set me. FUNNY BUSINESS "No matter liow tlic ship lurches, it never spills my soup COPYRIOHT, 143. NEA 8EHVICE. INC. Thoy were brilliant and bright, but they weren't the eyes of a girl who is happy because she is soon to become a bride. And Kathy should have been. She was going to New York to buy her trousseau. I HADN'T been altogether happy about the coming marriage, anyway, although Walter Biid Connie were so relieved to think that Kathy was going to settle down and get married respect ably married that they talked of nothing else. Now that I had looked into Kathy's glittering eyes 1 was even unhappier. George Baker was all right, In his way. A well-bred, well-iai-lorcd young man. He was indus trious, too, devoted to building up the sizable fortune which had been left him into one, two or three times as large via the bank ing business. You couldn't pos sibly find a fault with him, but you couldn't find anything excit ing about him either. When I thought of Kathy, our Kathy, as his wife my mind bnjged down. The prospect was too unutterably drab beside the memories Vf my own earl- mar ried days when Michael had had nothing but his youth and an idea and every day had a brand new and bewildering adventure. ... I sighed. Perhaps there weren't any love marriages like that any more. The next moment I scourged myself: "Don't be a hypocrite now . . . sighing and feeling sorry because Kathy is being cheated .as if you werent to blame. ..." Hadn't I helped break up that early 'teen-age infatuation be tween Kathy and Derek? If we had let Kathy go her own head strong way then, even as I had when I ran away and married Michael, she wouldn't have been facing any cut-and-dried, mon eyed marriage to George Baker now.

Subsequent events had proved that. Derek had since spent a term in a reformatory and was, I understood, on parole now for another offense. It was well we found Kathy that time and brought her back home. I finally fell asleep and slept like n log in spite of the heat and a bad conscience, and woke to a day that promised to be a rcnlica of the one before.
