For lovers of green tea GREEN TEA »XdLjfiLuL Sharon Wynne DEBUTANTE When Gay Needham, whose home IK a Wentern ranch, inherits a large Hum of money, her mother decides that it hhould be used to get Gay into society. Mth. Needham mores the entire family tii New York. wh«rc Bhc ronnects with Bernal Van Gor- don, an aKcnt who arranges for Gay to have a joint debut with Irene Stromley â€" Cay to supply the money, and the impoverished Stromleys the social prestige. Meanwhile, Gay has net Rodney Sinclair, wealthy young Kcrialite. who has shown instant in- terest in her. CHAITER II In the days that followed. Gay be- c-:inic .<iure she di.sliked Bernal Van (lordon more than anyone she had ever met. His veiled insolence and cool amusement over the entire pro- cedure of getting into socii'ty irri- tated her. 1. t she was forced to go through a period of rijfid trainii.g in order to learn nil the little nmnner- isni.s of the socially elect. Ail thii, of course, was clothed in utter secrecy- Only one thiiiK made Gay ko on â€" knowine Rodney Sinclair. She and Inn'' were always running into Rod- ney, ;'nd the thioe were together fre- <iucntly • 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'ttlc shivers of ec«ta?y had travelled up and down her spine Afterward, he had taken Irene home first, and then he and Gay had Ifone for a Ion;: drive. Gay could for- get everything in the sheer happiness of beioK with him -the Hureau, Van Gordon, and the quickly veiled hale «hich oftc'H flamed in Irene's eyes. Then, one cveninK^ when she and BoJncy came home from a show nftir dropping Irene at her apartment, 10. PHILIP MORRIS FINE CUT Gay stumbled as she climbed out of the car. Rodney caught her. Ilis 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 â€" from the first, I haven't been able to think of anyone but you â€" but we must not ..." Afraid of Mother "You mean â€" " Gay remeni'uercd what Irene had said ("You might fool him but you couldn't fool his mother.") â€" "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 â€" I'm not afraid. I just wondered what kind of girl she â€" she likes." "Your kind," Rod assured her- "Rich?" Gay's voice trembled. "With background ..." "What's the difference? You have everything â€"plus . " "Do you think sheâ€" that is. if 1 met her ..." "You won't for a while. S'he's in California. And don't you worry, honey. Have your del)Ut and n good time. Some time aflerwar<l, when you're sure â€" sure it's me â€" we'll have a lonjj talk anil - . . " They were in each other's arms again. (Ringing togi^ther, lips meet- ing in eager, breathless kisses. .Suddenly, Gay drew away â€" afraid- Irene wanted Rodney â€" had warned her she intended to have him- But she. Gay- wanted him, too â€" desper- ately. Irene could fall in love with a dii/.en men, but she â€" there would never be but one. Wilh the thought came delerminn- tioM. Rodney loved her â€" not Irene. Sh(' would make herself herself into the type of j;irl ot which the Dow- a^'cr Sinclair would approve. She was suddenly and fierooly glad she had inherited money â€" glad her mother had ins'sted upon getting into â- >»- ciety! * » * Anxious to Climb ^ And so, in the days that followed. Gay put all her enerpy into becom- ing n girl fit for the name and iiosi- lion of n Sinclair. No longer did she go reluctantly to Bernal Van Gor- don's ''school." Irene was quick ti> nute the iliam;e in Gay, and commented sarcastically, "Society must be g<'tting into your blood -- the way you're prcpaiing for your debut." And her mother no- ticed: "Honey, I (liought you weren't so anxious to get ready for your so- cial career, but I was wrong" While they lioth noticed, Irene was the more shrewd. Watching Gay daily, she finally said. "1 suppose it's Rodney â€" wanting to idease liiin -- that is making you so willing to loiirri all the social graies'.'" Gay did not answer. Van Goidon had saiil that it was impoitunl tn keep up a warm frien<lsliip with Irene, so she niusn't allow herstdf In be irritated by Iren's remarks. I.ove had stepped in just ut the point wliere Gay might have rebelled at the falseness of her position. Kor Koilney's sake, she was as anxious now a.H her mother to reach the crest of society. V^in Gordon, too, noticed the change in (iay. "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 si'cret. "Do jou Ih'nk I'm too ambiti- ous?" .slie laughed nervously. â- 'Noâ€" 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- "And very vich," Van Gordon mur- mured. "His mother rules Newport with an iron hand in a velvet glove. Slie c;!n do much for you, or - . . " IMenty 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 â€" 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 â€" cr â€" 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." "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 jrreed in his smile- (To be Continued) $20,000 For Knock Knees A knock, alleged to have developed in the knees of Miss Vesta Conuway, 27-yearold Omaha.

Canine Wardrobe Dogs Have Faahion Section Paris Exposition At At the Paris Exhibition there is a section which shows how* Parisian dogs may be Just as fashionable and well dressed as anyone else. A dog, after all, has really ihore 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 ot collars. Here collars are naturally the chief feature, and they range from wonderful plaited leather and metal studs ot surpassing Intri- cacy to the bulldog's halo ot badger hair set into a plethora ot riveting. There are little coats, beautifully worked, both in cloth and In leather, little boots â€" and it cows are shod, why not little dogs? The coats have pockets in which is a handkerchief. Toutous and Loulous The chief point is less that little dogs should have articles of wear and decoration even as do humrn. beings, but that In this section human beings take their cue from little dogs. A col- lar of finely woven or embossed leath- 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 be knows. Her scarf is stitched, even as hta coat Is stitched, and she has care that her hose are not too remote from canine concep- tions of these articles. The tou-tous aad loudous of Paris have long been blessed with all the refinements of civilization, I ut only now have these been recognized In a window In the International Exhibition which Is vir- tually given up to them. Dishes should be rinsed with very, very hot water If they are to he dried easily and have a lustre when finish- 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 39-yoar-old peer who lived wifli a mannequin in a London apartment for nearly six years, sued her last week for the return of his electrfc 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 costs. * Now Lord Kingsborough has asked her to return: "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 mirii- 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 ^ns."* 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 th6 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.
