THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1927 ---- "COPYRIGHT | 1927 bY NEA Service CHAPTER XLVIII When Vera Cameron arrived, hy way of the 'Long Island railroad, at the Pennsylvania station, her first impulse was to take a taxi, but an instinct of caution made her choose the vastly im- personal subway instead. There was a thrill of adventure in the trip--the short ride to Times Square, the taking of the shuttle to Grand Central, the boarding of the East Side subway there, the long, swift ride to the Bronx. When she reached the apartment house in which Vivian Crandall, forty- million dollar heiress, had been living for three months as "Virginia Craig," twenty-five-dollar-a-week legal steno- rapher, she was immediately swept into a whirlpool of excited activity. "For I'm to be married tomorrow!" Vivian Crandall caroled. "Paul is con- vinced at last, the skeptical darling. We're sailing tomorrow at three. Our old passports are still good, you know, so there'll be no trouble on that score. Oh, I'm so happy I want to cry and sing at the same time!" "Sailing!" Vee-Vee questioned, puz- zled. "But I thought you were going to live on Paul's income--" - "My dear, we are!" Vivian assured her. "Paul's book has been accepted and he has been given a five-hundred- dollar advance--think of it! Five hundred whole precious dollars--a for- tune! And the paper he's been work- ing for is sending him to Paris to work. Oh, we're going to be scandadously rich! Now, how did you get here? Did anyone try to stop you?" "I simply walked out of the house and took a train," Vee-Vee reassured her. "Now what are your plans?" "Well," Vivian swept a pile of clothes from the bed and plumped herself down upon it, "we're simply going to be married--in Connecticut. Paul has found a perfect love of a little old minister over there to say the words over us, and he has promised to keep cur marriage a secret until we are safely away. We're traveling tourist third-class, as Mr. and Mrs. Paul Al- lison, of course, so there's no possi- bility of the reporters getting hold of the story for ages. But aren't you curious as to where you come in?" "A little," Vee-Vee smiled. "You're to be my bridesmaid, of 'course, and Jerry is to be Paul's best man, Isn't it perfect?" "Jerry!" Vee-Vee felt the hot bloc! dyeing her cheeks and throat, and her eves wavered, miserably. "I don't think Jerry will particularly like--the arrangement," she stammered. "Like it?" Vivian echoed, amazed. "Why, he's Paul's best friend, and --except my beautiful, unselfish double!" "J--oh, thank you!" Vee-Vee burst into tears. "But what I meant was that Jerry will not be so pleased to se¢ me, judging from the way he has treated me these last two months. Oh, Vivian!" Her voice rose to a de- spairing wail, and her trembling hands rose to cover her hot, tear-wet face. "Love him a little, Vee-Vee?" Vivian asked softly. "I--I adore him!" Vee-Vee confessed in a smothered yoice. "And - I've lost him. He wanted to marry me before I went to Minnetonka, but I refused him, I thought I was in love with-- someone else." Even now it hurt her to say Schuyler Smythe's name. "He's married Nan Fosdick, by the way," Vivian interrupted, her voice crisp with scorn. "I suppose you read of it. But as for eJrry--I think he'd better speak for himself. He and Paul are due here any minute. Jerry's going to cook our last dinner in this funny, dear little old apart- ment. He'll come plunging in with his arms full of provisions--enough to i feed the janitor's family for a week after Paul and I have gone." But before she had finished with her news, Vee-Vee was at the dressing table in Vivian's tiny bedroom, trying to comb her hair and powder héfrface and touch up her lips, all at the same time. And her hands were trembling so that she could do none of them particularly well. ' . It is probably as well that she made no better job of it, for fifteen minutes later it was all to do over again, or would have been if Jerry had per- mitted her to lcave his arms. When he came plunging into the kitchen, with his arms laden high, as Vivian had predicted he would, and caught sight of Vee-Vee, he dropped his bundles to the floor and in two her. I have something to show her." When at last Jerry permitted Vee- Vee to "join Vivian in her bedroom] Vee-Vee was startled out of her be- mused condition by a sight which brought a cry of delight and envy to her lips. . For on the bed lay a wedding dress --~--the kind of bridal robe that every girl dreams of and only fortune's fav- orites can achieve. It was of ivory- white satin, embroidered richly in seed pearls, with panels of real lace set into its lustrous folds. Frothing over the foot of the bed was a dream of a wedding veil, all rose point lace and tulle, with an adorable, tiny cap of lace and orange blossoms. Even the tiny pearl-embroidered white satin shoes were there, too, companioned by stockings of intricately wrought cob- web. ° ; "Oh, Vivian!" Vee-Vee breathed, daring to lay a caressing, reverent hand on the misty veil. "You're going to be a dream of loveliness in this!" "I?" Vivian pretended great sur- prise. "Why, my dear, don't you know a divorced woman can't wear a veil for her second marriage? That is your wedding dress--from. me to you with- dove." And she took Vee-Vee's face between her hands and kissed her gently on both cheeks. "But--how did you know what Jerry and I--?" "Were going to be married?" Vivian finished the sentence for her, laughing. "In betting circles that would have called a hundred to one shot. Jerry has the license already--went with Paul when he got ours. You're to spend the night with me; then we'll all drive over to Connecticut's Gretna Green tomorrow morning and be mar- ried." "But your parents, Vivian?" Vee- Vée asked hesitantly, She hated to dim the radiance of this perfect hour, but she had not lived for two months with Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Crandall without learning-to care for them, to sympathize with them in their fears for their daughter. "I have already written them a long letter, telling them all about Paul and our plans," Vivian answered. "They will be immensely relieved to know that I am not disgracing them, and when Paul's book comes out they will be proud of him. Mother loves a lit- erary lion above all human creatures." An hour later, over dinner, the four made final plans for their double wed- "ding. < "I shall have to invite Aunt Flora," Vee-Vee announced suddenly, frem Jerry's knees. "She would be dread- fully -hurt if T were married without her permission and assistance. And Aunt Flora justly considers herself PRINCESS Y Anne Qustin leading lady in four of them herself." Vivian and Paul exchanged a rather Frueful glance, but Jerry joyously led the way to the telephone, making sure that Vee-Vee was close behind him by holding tight to her hand. The soft, drawling voice of Flora Cartwright's maid came over the wire, and in answer to Vee-Vee's request, informed her, prefacing her news with a delighted giggle: Those Wretched Bilious Attacks ¢Fruit-a-tives" Always Stops Them |. "Y was always bilious and never seemed to digest my food properly," writes Mr. Leo. Godin, 2371 Clark St., Montreal. "This kept me very weak. A friend, who had been completely relieved of these troubles by 'Fruit-a-tives', advised me to try this fruit medicine. I did so, and now I am so well that I want to congratulate 'Fruit-a-tives' on its unfailing effective- ness." If you suffer with poor digestion, upset stomach, bilious attacks or chronic con- stipation, take Mr. Godin's advice and try "Fruit-a-tives". This natural remedy, made from intensified fruit juices com- bined, with tonics, will surely correct these troubles and bring you back to health.

Her and Mr. Preston got married today and went to Atlantic City on their honey- moon." "How unoriginal of her!" Vee-Vee laughed, after she had given the news to Jerry. "By the way, Jerry, where are we going? Or is that to be kept a secret from me too?" "No more secrets ever!" Jerry ex- ulted, his big arms almost crushing her slender body. "I'm taking a grand job in Chicago--same salary as Peach Bloom pays me. But no more cos- metics in my young life, darling. I might be tempted to play Pygmalion again, and one Galatea is enough for any Pygmalion. And listen here, young woman! You're going to let your hair grow again. Doggone it, I liked those braids you used to wrap around your head, and I don't want my wife to be a copy of any other woman, even if she is an ex-princess." ) "You liked me as I was?" Vee- Veerdemanded, her eyes wide with Why, I fell in love amazement, "Liked you? with you at first sight, spectacles, freckles and all!" Jerry assured her fatuously. But Vee-Vee just smiled. THE END BISHOP OF DURHAM IN GLOOMY MOOD Says Civilization Has Parted Company With Christ London, Oct. 7.--A. gloomy view of the increasing cleavage between Christianity and 'the modern ten- dencies of civilization was taken by the Bishop of Durham preaching at a service [in connection with fhe opening of the Church Congress at Ipswich. The human spirit was be. ing asphyxiated by material prosper- ity. the Bishop contended. "Civilization ,in parting company with Christianity, is restoring fea- tures of pre-civilization, in fits es. sential cruelty, the prevalence of suicide, squalid superstition and un- bridled sensuality," the Bishop con- tinued. "When we consider the di- rection sex relations are taking in current literature and conversation in good society, 1 cannot see how any condid, intelligent student of civilization can deny that a great revolt against morality and Christ's religion is proceeding and has gain- ed formidable force during recent vears," he said. + The Bishop of Ipswich in his presidential address to the Con. gress, said that nothing militated more against the church's winning -- 2 reality. He conceived the King- dom of God as "something beyond the skies, but embracing the feeling of pigs rooting turnips. One of vur greatest objects," he said, ,""must be to treat it as wide enough to embrace the manifold occupations and interests of life.' MOULDING SENTIMENT IS TASK OF W.C.T.U. Ottawa, Oct. 6.--The task of the fu- ture for the Women's Christian Tem- perance Ugion is to create a public sentiment that will withstand the for- ces of evil, and to aim for a dry Do- nunion, so declared Mrs. William Pugsley of Toronto, retiring President, at the international meeting of the Golden Jubilee Convention of the On- tario W.C.T.U. in session here this afternoon. The W.C.T.U. had kept boiled, baked or fried--has a more delicious flavour when eaten with a dash of freshly mixed mustard.
