Moving to New York, Mrs. Needham connects with Bernal Van Q@ordon, an agent who arranges for Qay to have a joint debut with Irene Stromley--Gay to supply the money, and the Stromleys the social prestige, Meanwhile, GAY meets Rodney Sin- clair, wealthy young socialite, who falls in love with her. This enrages Irene, for she herself had designs on Rodney. For reasons of her own, she plays up to Gay's young brother, Jock. Mrs. Needham spread them before him. "Hum-m-m," he yawned ag he look: ed them over, Then he frowned. "Huk! That doesn't seem fair---for you to steal the whole show, Gay, whila [rene is left out in the cold." "Out in the cold?' "Yes, Do you realize that every pa- per leads the story off with you, and there are two-of your pictures to every one of Irene." & "Why, that's right!" Gay gasped in amazement, F "It proves that Gay is just where. sie belongs," Mrs. - Needham sald complacently, 'While that hateful Irene . .." "Hateful Irene!" Jock flared. "If you don't mind, I'd prefer for you not to speak that way about my fiancee!" 'Your flancee!"" Both women were astounded. "Well, don't act as though it were a death notice! Where would we be if it weren't for Irene?" "It's --- -so-surprising," Mrs, Need- had finally managed to stammer. "Why, just last month you were crazy about that actress, Esme--what's her nama?" Gay said nothing. i 7 'The engagement isn't to be made pubic for a while, Jock wlient on. "Ircne says every girl has a right to some fun after a debut. Engagements put a damper on it. So, it's to be a secret for a year." Reasons For Hate There was a' discreet cough in the | doorway, and Irene herself came in. "Excuse me for walking in unan- nounced." She smiled brilliantly. "Just dropped in to see how you liked the party." _ "Fine!" Mrs. enthusiastically, There-was an uneasy silence, and Needham answered "I was just telling them, Irene -- about us." Irene's laugh tinkled." "Bad boy promised not to tell," she reproved banteringly. Jock, embarrassed, excused himself to 50 get some breakfast, and Mra. Needham followed him from the room. As soon ag they were gone, Irene faced Gay. The mask of friendliness was gone from her face.' "You don't seem overjoyed," she sneered, 'that I'm engaged to your darling brother. But at least it wiil ney." "Why, Irene," Gay protested, "I'm sorry it..." . "Never mind! You've made a de- liberate play for Rod, and he fell for it.

She was posi- tive now that Irene hated her--Iliter- ally hated her! CHAPTER V The crowded days that followed the debut didn't give Gay much time to think about Irene. She hadn't dream- ed that life could be 'so hectle. Just one continuous round of parties. Ber- nal Van Gordon had done his work well, and no one questioned the pres- tige of the Stromleys. As a result, Gay was well launched on her social career, A few weeks after the debut, Irene gave a dance. As usual, Rodney was Gay's escort, As they entered the ballroom, Gay caught sight of Bernal Van Gordon. His eyes were fixed on her in a curi- ous way, and a few minutes later he found an opportunity to speak to her alone. "I've- something I have to tell you, Miss Needham," he began. "I dislike to do ft, but it is necessary. You're being criticized." "Criticized!" "Yes. It's one of those whispering campaigns. No one knows how they start, and they are hard to stop. You're too vivacious, too pert. You laugh too loud, and are too popular with 'the men. After all, you know, it is the women who rule soclety, and it is up to you to win their approval." "But .I--that is--I don't understand, If you'll explain more clearly, I..." "Sh-h-h. Here comes a chap I want you to meet." Counteracting Criticism A tall, blond young man, around thirty, was approaching. He had an air of arrogant poise. ' "I finally cornered you," Van Gor- don greeted him smoothly. Then, turning to Gay, "Mr. Ploame is most anxious to meet you. Miss Needham, may I present Mr. Marvin Ploame, of Paris and New York." "Such a pleasure." Ploame kissed her hand, then said purringly, "May I get you some punch, and then have the honor of a dance?" Gay felt an instant and instinctive dislake for the man, but replied, "Cer- tainly". : As soon as Ploame had gone for the punch, Van Gordon said, "I want you to be nice to Marvin Ploame, be- cause . . ." "Is it necessary that I be nice to whomever you may pick out?" Gay retorted. "After all, Mr. Van Gordon, you are being paid for your part in this soclety launching, and I don't see that you have any right to dic- tate." "Very sorry, Miss Needham, but I am thinking of your own interests." Van Gordon spoke soothingly. '"Ploame is exceedingly influential with the nomadic international crowd. You'll have to do all you can to counteract the criticism of which I just spoke. Besides . . ." "Besides, what?" prodded Gay, as he hesitated. "It isn't my wish to tell the truth about you Needhams, but Ploame is a - good friend of mine and unless you are nice to him, .." Ploame's: return just then ended the conversation, and Van Gordon moved away. Gay felt Ploame's slate- gray eyes looking her over as she drank the punch, His blonde hair looked as though it had been mar- celled. "Thinks he's a sheik," Gay thought angrily. "I won't spend a lot of time with him, no matter what Bernal Van Gordon says!" But Ploame was not easy to get rid of. And somehow, Irene seemed to hive cornered Rodney, What a dis- mal failure the evening was turning out to be! (TO BE CONTINUED) ! Free Kisses More ancient customs prevail in the West Country than in any other part of England. One that goes back to Saxon times is still observed at Oke- hampton, Devon. The "Giglet Mar- ket" is held on the Sunday after Christmas, at which a man may speak to or kiss any girl who takes his fancy, Nor is mistletoe needed to establish this right, At Street, Somerset, a bonfire is made on top of a nearby hill on Box- ing day, and people journey from afar to toast sausages on the end of hazel sticks, sing, play games and make merry. On the same day the poor, too, are remembered at the vil- lage of Cam, for according to the will of a former citizen, Margaret Trot- man, any parishioner is entitled to the gift of a loaf of bread, and the first fifty widows who apply are giv- Woman Stages ~~ Amazing Hoax 23-Year-Old Wife Attends Eng- lish School as 11-Year-Old Pupil One "of the most amazing hoaxes ever played in England was revealed when a 23-year-old woman, married and a, mother, was discovered to be at- tending a school in Woodwich as an 11-year-old pupil, The discovery was made when the headmistress of the school decided to move her to a higher class, The work would have been harder, so she did not go to school. That brought the school attendance officers to her home, Her husband, Edward Cohen, 28- year-old radlo salesman, explaining the impersonation, said his wife went to school in a short gymnasium suit, tunic and skirt with her dolls and she played with her 10-year-old school mates. One of the dolls was her hus- band's wedding present to her. Husband's "Sister" "At school she _was known as my 11-year-old sister. When she did not attend, the school "board inspector came and asked me why my sister had stopped going. I did not know what to tell him, and now I have received a notice from the London county coun- cil that legal action may 'be taken if she does not go back." Mrs. Cohen explained that she had always loved being with young child. ren, Plays All the Games "I will never change," she said. "I have always worn the same clothes as when I came to London, When I'go to school, I take part in all the school games and lessons and no one has: ever queried my age, When I go home, I do the housework, and cooking, al though I. don't like it, and live like any normal wife." > Mrs. Cohen, however, has one of the habits of grown-ups -- she does smoke, ; Style-Wise Apron Pair Helps You Protect your Frocks!

B.

Anderson intimated that this theory might even indicate that x ronto's last severe outbreak of the disease might be directly connected that has long brought vigorous pro- test from hay fever victims. Coincidence Observed He drew atterition to the fact that "an unusually prolific and widespread ragweed infestation of Toronto" had. directly preceded the outbreak of infantile paralysis in the city's history. . ; Outbreaks of poliomyelitis and hay fever seemed to have approximately ~the same seasonal. incidence, said Dr. Anderson. : - "The sudden 'decline of cases of both hay fever and poliomyelitis fol- lowing the onset of autumn frosts is 'even more striking," he stated. Cold-Resistant Virus . That the phenomena, insofar as po- liomyelitis was concerned, was not due to cold, in itself, appeared probe able because the virus was cold-re--- sistant, 3 In Ontario and the Northeastern United States the geographical distri bution of infantile paralysis was roughly that of abundant infestation of hay -fever-producing weeds. Both -spread in Northern latitudes and both were uncommon in, tropical countries, where insect, rather than wind borne, pollination predominated. Accompaying the increase of polio- myelitis in" the past forty years was an increase in ~hay fever-producing weeds, 'brought about by heavy mo- tor traffic along highways where the weeds. grew in abundance.
