EE RARE, ESAT NY 72 EMERY eB A -- hi Serial Story Women . - i Fashions Recipes S-- A Page of Interest to ---- e---- For lovers of green tea | \k SHAM BY Sharon Wynne DEBUTANTE When Gay Needham, whose home | is a Western ranch, inherits a large sum of money, her mother decides that it should be -used to get Gay into society. Mrs. Needham moves the entire family to New York, where she connects with Bernal Van Gor- don, an agent who arranges for Gay to have a joint debut with Irene Stromley--Gay to supply the money, and the impoverished Stromleys the social prestige. Meanwhile," Gay has met Rodney Sincla'r, wealthy young socialite, who has shown instant in- terest in her. CHAPTER II In the days that followed, Gay be- came sure she disliked Bernal Van Gordon more than anyone she had ever met. ~ His veiled insolence and _ cool amusement over the entire pro- cedure of getting into society irri- tated her. But she was forced to go through a period of r'gid training in order to learn all the little manner- isms of the socially elect. All this, of "course, was clothed in utter secrecy. Only one thing made Gay go on-- knowing Rodney Sinclair. She and Irene were always running into Rod- ney, and the three were together fre- quently. ' The last time, at a movie, Gay had thrilled when Rodney's hand had found hers in the darkened theater. When his shoulder had touched hers, I'ttle shivers of ecstasy had travelled up and down her spine. Afterward, he --had taken lrene home first, and then he and Gay had gone for a long drive. Gay could for- get everything in the sheer happiness of being with him--the Bureau, Van Gordon, and the quickly veiled hate . which often flamed in Irene's eyes. Then, one evening, when she and Rodney came home from a show after dropping Irene at her apartment, PHILIP MORRIS FINE CUT 4 4 4 JCHES HA HLM . California. Gay stumbled as she climbed out of the car. Rodney caught her. His arms suddenly tightened as her face was upturned to his. Their lips met and clung. Natural- ly. Inevitably. . - "Oh, Rodney!" Gay whispered. He kissed her again as she clung to him. Then---- "No, Gay, honey," he said huskily. "We--from the first, I haven't been able to think of anyone but you-- but we must not . . . " Afraid of Mother "You mean -- " Gay remembered what Irene had said ("You might fool him but you couldn't fool his mother."") -- "You mean that your mother wouldn't like me?" "Why, of course she will!" Rodney laughed. "How could she help it? But it isn't fair to you, honey. to be engaged, with your debut so near. That would spoil everything for you. I wouldn't be that selfish." "But, Rod, that doesn't matter if your mother . . . "Why are you so afraid of Moth- er?" Rod was holding her at arm's length. » * * Gay turned her head away quickly. "I--I'm not afraid. I just wondered what kind of girl she--she likes." "Your kind," Rod assured her. "Rich?" Gay's voice trembled. "With background . . . " "What's the difference? You have everything--plus." z "Do you think she--that is, if' I met her . . . " "You won't for a while. She's 'in Honey. Have your debut and a good time. Some time afterward, when you're sure -- sure it's me -- we'll" 'have a long talk and . They were in each other's arms again, Clinging together, lips meet- ing in eager, breathless kisses. Suddenly, Gay drew away--afraid. Irenc wanted Rodney -- had warned her she intended to have him. But she, Gay. wanted him, too -- desper- ately. Irene could fall in love with a dozen men, but she -- there would never be but one. With the thought came determina- tion. Rodney loved her -- not Irene. She would make herself herself into the type of girl of which the Dow- ager Sinclair would approve. She was suddenly and fiercely glad she 'had inherited money -- glad her mother had insisted upon getting into so- ciety! * * * Anxious to Climb And so, in the days that followed, Gay put all her energy into becom- ing a girl fit for the name and posi- tion of a Sinclair. No longer did she go reluctantly to Bernal Van Gor- don's "school." : Irene was -quick to note the change in Gay, and tommented sarcastically, "Society must be getting into your blood -- the way you're preparing for your debut." And her mother no- ticed: "Honey, I thought you weren't so anxious to get ready for your so- cial career, but I was wrong." While they both noticed, Irene was the more shrewd. Watching , Gay daily, she finally said, "I suppose it's Rodney -- wanting to please him -- that is making you so willing to learn all the social graces?" Gay did not answer. Van Gordon had said that it was important to keep up a warm friendship with Irene, so she musn't allow. herself to be irritated by Iren's remarks? Love had stepped in Just at the point where Gay might have rebelled at the falseness of her position, For Rodney's sake, she was as anxious now as her mother to reach the crest of society. Van Gordon, ° too, change in Gay. . "You're actually getting ahead of me on your training," he remarked one day. : Gay flushed, fearful lest those sharp eyes of his would ferret out her secret. g "Do you think. I'm noticed - the too ambiti- And don't you worry, ous?" she laughed nervously. "No--no, indeed! Your ambition is effective. Twice, lately, I have seen you driving with young Sinclair." "He's very kind," Gay evaded, turning her head. 75 "And very rich," Van Gordon mur- mured. "His mother rules Newport with an iron hand in a velvet glove. She can do much for you, or . . ." - Plenty of Brass He did not finish the sentence, but as son as Gay was gone, he moved to a file. He found the heading "So- ciety Feuds," skimmed through the cards to "S," and drew forth a card headed "Sinclair." Then he rang for his poker-faced secretary. "Take a cable to Marvin Ploame. He's in Paris. You'll find his address in the file, Let's see -- Ploame's about thirty now, isn't he? Good dresser. Good looking. Polished, but impoverished. Plenty of brass. Has a way with women. Not above a bit of -- er -- scheming for a fair re- turn. Right?" { The girl went to a file, pulled out a card marked "Polame, Marvin" consulted it carefully, and came back to the desk. "Right." a ' "Then take this cable: 'Have pro- position may interest you if can sail immediately for New York. Sinclair involved. Money in it. Van Gordon." Long after his secretary had left the room, Van Gordon sat thinking and smiling, fingers tap-tap-tapping on his desk. There was greed in his smile. .

Canine Wardrobe Dogs Have Fashion Section At Paris ition At the Paris Exhibition there 1s a section which shows how Parisian dogs may be just as fashionable and well dressed as anyone else. A dog, after all, has really more variety than the average male human being on an 'average occasion in that he can wear color and he is not restricted in the matter of collars. Here. collars are naturally the chief feature, and they range from wonderful plaited leather 'and' metal studs' of surpassing intri- cacy to the bulldog's halo of badger hair set into a plethora of riveting, coats, beautifully little boots--and it cows are shod, why not little dogs? The coats have pockets in which is a handkerchief, Toutous and Loulous f The chief point is less that little dogs should have articles of wear and decoration even as do human beings, but that in this 'section human "bef er, for instance, is the idea inspiring: the lead and also the gloves which hold the other end of the lead, When a little dog takes his mistress out he is at pains to' see'that she has the 'best that he knows. Her scarf fis stitched, even as his 'coat is stitched, and she has care that her hose are not too remote from canine concep- tions of these articles. The tou-tous and lou-lous of Paris have'long been Ch civilization, but only now have these been: recognized in a' window inthe tually given up to them. Dishes should be Yinsed with very, very hot water if they are to be dried easily and have a lustre when tinish- ed. If the water is hot enough, the dishes need not be dried but drained. Sues For Return . Of Toy Soldiers British Peer Demands That Act- ress Also: Give Up His Minia- ture Locomotives, A 89-year-old peer.who lived with a mannequin in a London apartment for nearly six years, sued her last week for the return of his electric trains and toy soldiers with which he admitted they had played "occasion- ally." . Last June the mannequin, Miss A. Royle, 34, sued..the peer, Viscount Kingsborough, heir of the Earl of Kingston, for breach of promise, The action was dismissed with costé Now Lord Kingsborough has asked her to return: f "Seven volumes of the Official Na- val History of the Great War;"" "the volume of Sea Monsters;" "the vol- ume of Famous Wrecks;"" "three vol- umes by Taffrail;" six or seven mini- ature locomotives; four miniature cars and a quantity of tracks; one electric current control box; one storage battery; a quantity of wood and carpentry tools; and a quantity of model soldiers and model guns." Miss Royle testified' that she had sold the' articles which 'Lord Kings- borough 'valued at about $250. when she "had not a penny and no home." Although we pay a premium for the fresh eggs, the world's most highly. prized eggs are those of a dinosaur, which are estimated to be at least 75, 000,000 years old.

The advertisement was insert- ed by Mrs. B. Barclay, of Catertor LA © ) A 'Manor, Oxfordshire. ! bY § Moved Drawers About \ "The wardrobe is a large plece of furniture in walnut, with four draw- ers and mirrors, which I happened to pick up at a sale three years ago," she explained, "I paid only $50 for it because, though it took my fancy, there was little of artistic value in ft, I put it in a guest room of my hous( and thought nothing more of it. "Just about three months ago, how: ever, some friends who were staying the week end asked me if I could ac- count for the strange opening and shutting of the wardrobe drawers which had kept them awake all night, The noise has since continued nightly. > Elderly Man Comes Out "And that is not all.

TT There was immediate commotion, for it appearefl .that the bridegroom had proposed to thre¢ women, and the two whom he had jilted had conspired to wreck the wedding. They very nearly succeeded, for not until they had been removed by the police did the ceremony continue, The question has been known to caiise surprise, for during the mar- riage of a laborer in Yorkshire, the: groom was astonished when the cler- gyman asked: "Wilt thou have this woman, etc.," and replied. "Why, mais- ter, that's what I coomed "ere for." The Ring Mislaid - Most of the lighter mishaps of 'the marriage ceremony are caused through the ring. No. matter how carefully the groom puts it in his .pocket, and no matter how many hundreds of times he assures himself that' {t' is still there, he is liable to fumble 'and go all hot and bothered - when the clergyman asks for it. Many times it really is missing, and on one occasion a key ring had to be used. HEN When one of 'the: parties does: not turn up at the church it {s usually a source of sorrow rather than mirth, but the curate of a London church 'never falls to laugh when he thinks of one '"non-appearance', The banns had been published, and everything arranged; at the appointed hour the bride .arrived, but after she, the curate, and the guests had waited in vain' for some time for the groom, she yetired rather crestfallen and fixed up the wedding for the following Sun. day. Again the groom failed to appear. "Drat him!" she sald, "It wasn't: his trousers this time, 'cos I bought him a pair!"
