ios. it is eten planned to hem
wires strung to the diving platform

Point as soon as the ball game at
Amusement park is over. and a
chicken dinner will be served. The
bands with the Grotto will furnish
music. and the dance hall and con-
cessions will be open in the even-
ing.

The management has turned the
park Over to the Prophets. although
other excursions will help overflow
the grounds. The Sirius is booked

THE STORY SO FAR

GMRIA GORDON. twenty
and pretty. marries DICK
GREGORY. thinking he has
money. Her id. of ideal mer-
rlsge is plenty of fun and
clothes . . . but no children!

When Dick tells Gloria she
must do her own housework. she
has hysterics. So Dick borrows
MAGGIE. his mother's mold. to
teach Gloria to cook. But Gloria

' won‘t try to learn.

STANLEY WAYBURN. on se-
tor whom Glorls once loved. calls
on her. Dick sees him leave.
Gloria tells her husband he was
only an interior decorator.

Dick becomes ill. When he's
better MISS BRIGGS. his secre-
tary. comes to the house to do
her work. While they are busy.
Gloria plans a house-warming.
She invites Wsyburn. . _

When Dick sees the actor. he-
recognizee him. Dick realizes
that Gloria lied to him. ‘

Gloria recklessly drinks too
much when she sees Wsyburn
kissing MYRA GAIL. She feints
away in the arms of DR. JOHN
SEYMOUR. whose wife. MAY.

‘ is In love with JIM CAREWE.

The party breaks up when
LOLA HOUGH “bowls" out
BILL. her husband. for ”pet.
ting" with May Seymour. Mag. .

gets breakfast next morning.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

‘6 CU didn't know I web a regu-
lar cook. did you?" Dick
grinned.

"I certainly did not!” Gloria
laughed. “But isn't it nice for me
that I married one. .. . . Let's see
what you’ve got ready for me. chef!"

Dick set the tray down on the bed-
side table. On it was a plate of
sugary rolls that Maggie had halted
the day before. a. silver dish filled
with butter balls. and the steaming
coffee.

"I made the coffee." Dick said.
“and believe me. it's somevbrew . .
strong enough to float an egg!"

“Where did you ever learn to make
coffee?" Glory idly asked. As a mat-
ter of fact. she didn’t care whereAn
Dick had learned. The great thing
was that he had made it!

“On camping trips when I was a
kid." answered Dick. He put his
arm around his wife and drew her
down into his lap.

. "I can broil bacon and fish and
fry‘potatoes. too.” he said proudly.
“Honestly. Glory. cooking isn't hard
work. . . . I wish you'd try it. I'd
love to see you in s. white apron
fussing around the kitchen. . . .

instantly Glory's good humor
vanished.

“Oh. I don't doubt that you
. would!" she cried. “You’d love to see
' me flying around with e mop and s
scrubbing brush, too! You'd be

l crazy about seeing me with my nails
broken and my hair flying and my
face haggard like Lola. Hough' s.

i wouldn't you? . . . Well, you never

.. will, Mr. Mani Because I'll never

3 be a slave for you or anybody else!
i, . . And a. new maid comes into
this house today or I walk out of it!
See?"

She jumped up from Dick's knees.
She threw herself face-downward on
her bed. and burst into angry rm

in his voice . . . eman's fearofa

gently. “If it takes every cost I have

5, ., _. Glory said nothing at all.
The telephone rang.
Gloria jumped up to answer it.
"Yes?" she said. .
Stanley Wayburn's voice came to
her over the wire!
“Well . . . how's my Russet this

" , morning?" he said.

"Very well." Glory answered stiff-
ly. She knevw that Dick was listen-
lug.

“Have you, forgiven ms for play-
ing around with you filend, Myra?"
Sum asked. "0r eyou still green-
eycd about it?"

Gloria knew that she couldn't an-
swer that question. with Dick 1tht
there in the room. And she could
feel an uncomfortable flush spread
ing itself over her face and neck.
. . . At that moment she wished
Stanley Wayburn on the other side
of the world!

“When em I going to see you
again?" Stan’s voice asked after e
long interval.

Still Gloria made no answer. She
actually shock with fright.

Then Stan apparently had a flash
of “understanding.

., F . What's the matter? Why
can't you talkf. Hubby still at

“Yes!" Glory could answer that.

She heard the click of a receiver
in her ear. Weyburn had hung up.

D 0 O .
66 HO was that on the tele-
phone?" Dick asked cue-
lessly.

He did not look at her. He stood
by the chiffcnier. lighting a cigaret.

"One . . . of . _., _. my " friends."
Gloria simmered.

"Who?"

“Does it matter?” Glory asked.

“it matters very much . .. . to
true.” Dick said. He came toward
her.

"It was Weyburn. wasn't it?" be
asked.

Gloria threw bsc or; head den-

He came toward her. But instead
oil lighting her clgaret he pulled it
from her mouth. Violently he threw
it into the waste basket.

l“How long have you had that rot~

tern habit?” he asked.

“Why,1‘ve always smoked . .-.
that is. for the last two or three
y are," Glory said. "Didn't you know
afar?"

Dick shook his head. He smiled.
ELut there was 0. sort of misery in his

wheeled suddenly and come back
into the sunny room. 11‘er under
her lashes Glory watched him.
"if I asked you something. would
you tell me the truth?" Dick asked.
Glory pondered.
"I might." she mid. She picked

her beautifully kept nails.

“Well, then," Dick began. "why
did you never mention this fellow
‘Wayburn. in all the months before
we were married?" ' ‘

Glory shrugged her lace-covered
shoulders.

"Why should I have mentioned
that 1 know him?" she asked. “is
he so very important?"

about Stan Waybum‘l’ 3
How could she tell him that
there had been a time when she
would gladly have married Stan if
he had asked her to . . . but that
he had not asked her?

. . . How could she tell him that
there had been a night I year ago
when she had cried for hours be

saying goodby to her? '

. . . That there had been weeks
and weeks afterward when she had
tried not even to think about Stan

only to look into her eyes to make
her forget everyone else In the

. . . How could she tell Dick
that? She Just couldn't.

his business!

Dick's voice broke in ”upon her
thought.

"You said last night that you'd
had a sort of childish love affair with
Wayburn.” he mid. "Did youievor
care for him as much as you do for
me?" .

Glory drew a long breath.

“No wonder you 're a good lawyer.
Dick!" she said. "You can think up
more questions to ask a person than
anybody else in the world. 1'11 botl
. . \. Yes. I did think a lot of Stan

She got up and walked over to the
window. She did not want Dick to

thoughts were writte on it for him
to read.

"Just how much do you care'for
me?" His voice was bitter.

"You ought to know . . . I men

She turned from the window and
sat on the arm of Dick's chair. She
