lliE STORY SO FAR:
GLORIA GORDON. beautiful
flapper. marries DICK GREG.
(Hill. a struggling young lawyer.
Her idea of marriage is fun and
fine clothes . . . but no work
or children!
She retirees to cook or keep
house. She hires RANGHILD
SWANSON to do It for her. al-
though Dick says they can’t
afford a maid. And she swamps
him with debts for her clothes
and an automobile.
Gloria becomes infatuated with
STANLEY WAYBURN, an out-
ol-n'ork actor. Site and Way-
burn. with MAY SEYMOUR and
MM CAREWE make a Jolly
foursome. “'ayburn ls od‘ered a
Job on the New York stage. .
Gloria lends hint $200 of Dick’s
money to help him out.
Dick becomes ill with pneu-
monia. When he recovers. DR.
JOHN SEYMOUR. husband of
the flighty May. sends him away
for a rest. Gloria refuses to go
along, because Dick's mother.
whom she hates. is going.
As soon as they leave on their
trip. Gloria sets out for New
York. She goes straight to Way-
burn. But he spurns her. and
tells her he has Just married his
leading woman. SONYA CHO-
TEK.
For two weeks Gloria tries to
land a Job and fails. Finauy she
comes home to Dick. He takes
her back into the house. but not
as his wife. He feels sure that
she would never have come home
if Wayburn had wanted her to
stay in New York. One night
after her return Gloria finds
Dick having dinner in a down-
town restaurant with his score-
tary, MISS BRIGGS, of wbogn‘
Gloria has always been Jealous.
.(NOW GO ON “'1'!!! THE STORY)
. LORJA'S first impulse was to
laugh when she saw Miss
‘ Briggs and Dick at that half-
hidden table in the corner ‘bf the lit-
tle restaurant.
_ It was certainly the best laugh of
. the year-40 catch the straight-laced
; Dick out “stepping" on the sly! To
loatch him taking his secretary out
to dinner without telling his wife
:about it! . . . It'was too funny.
; The corners of Gloria's mouth went
' up in a. malicious little smile.
Then Dick turned and saw her.
{And something in his eyes startled
, her with its intensity. What had he
3 and Miss Briggs been talking about
to make him look like that? Could
. 'it be that he was in love with her.
after all?
All the laughter died on Gloria's
illpn at the thought. Was she going
' to play second fiddle to Miss Briggs
irbDick's life? Was she going to be
one of the great army of wives
'whose husbands are in love with
lthelr office girls? . . . Well. she
Just guessed not! Not so you could
’ notice it!
' With fury in her heart. Gloria
, marched forward to the table where
1 Dick was sitting with Miss Briggs.
{Dick jumped up and pulled out a
l chair for her.
i "Well, this is a surprise!" he ex-
lclaimed.
f “Yes—I noticed you looked sur-
l prised when you saw me," Gloria an-
| awered with sarcasm that bit.
' Without a word of greeting to
sum Briggs, she sat down at the
table.
‘ "Have the waiter bring the rest of
imy dinner over here.“ she com-
manded Dick. "Unless you have
I something to say' to Miss Briggs
i that you‘d rather not have your wife
‘lheart' '
She laughed unpleasantly. She
took out her vanity case and dabbed
in hit of rouge on either cheek. Then
’ she raised her eyes to Miss Briggs.
“You don't have to wear rouge. do
' you?" she asked. “You're as red as
; a beet. You look as if you have a
l fever. right now!"
It was true. Poor Miss Briggs
had flushed to a deep. unbecoming
red under Gloria's words.
i O 0 I ‘
I HE looked as if she wished the
l the earth would open and swal-
low her up. And, as a matter of
‘ fact, Miss Briggs was devoutly wish-
ing herself out of that little res-
} tsumnt.
stairs. '
She had come there that night
alone, when Dick had asked her to
work late. Five minutcs after she
had begun to eat. Dick. himself. had
walked in. It would have boon queer
if he had not, sat down to sham her
lonely meal. A friend could do no
less, could he?
Miss Briggs wished now that
Dick would explain the vvhoie thing
to his wife. But she knew he
wouldn't. She could ace that he
was going to let'Glorin think any-
thing ahe wanted to think.
And what Gloria evidently thought
was that Dick had taken Miss
Briggs out to dinner . . . to "show
her a good time."
Miss Briggs drew a breath of re3
lief when Gloria tur‘ncd her shoulder
upon her. and began to talk to Dick.
She did her host to shut Miss
Briggs out of the talk. She snubbed
her. She talked in a half-whisper so
low that Miss Briggs couldn't have
caught a word lf/she had tried.
Dick saw the rude and cruel
thing that Gloria \vlis doing. And
he came to Miss iiriggs‘ rescue just
as he would have rescued a mouse
that a cat was torturing.
O O O
E leaned across the table toward
her. Dcliheratcly he tried to
draw 'her into the conversation.
“What did Smithers want to see
me about today, Susy?" he asked
gently. .
"About that Parmcly injunction
case," Miss Briggs answered with
lips that ticmbi d. She fumbled in
her purse and ulled out a 5': bill.
She laid it on the tablecloth.
"That‘s to pay for my dinner,"
she said. "and I think I'll leave you
people now, and get back to my
work. . . . Goodnight. Mrs. Greg-
ory."
It cost Miss Briggs an effort to bid
Gloria goodnight. And Gloria knew
it.
“Good night. Miss Briggs." she
said alrily.
‘Sho smiled. with narrowed eyes.
She knew she had spoiled Miss
Briggs’ dinner.
of it! She'd show Dick‘s secretary
that she couldn't go dining around
with him, and get. away with it!
She'd show her a trick or two worth
knowing!
Miss Briggs got up to go. Dick
. rose with her.
"I wish you wouldn't rush off like
this. Susy." he said. "See you later.
though. Get together the data on
that injunction case. will you?"
Wordlessly Miss Briggs nodded.
And she was glad.
Gloria tiplocd out in the hall

She walked out of the little rest
tzzuruut, ch'kily. as :f she were pulled
by unseen \vir‘cs.
Gloria. watched her go, with an
amused smile. Then she turned
furiously to Dick.
"So!" she cried. “This is why you
didn‘t want rue to come downtown
to eat with you! This is why you
don‘t want to kiss me any more! . .
i see it all. now! How long has this
affair with Miss Briggs been going
on. for goodness' sake?"
"Affair with Miss Briggs?" Dick
repeated quietly. "i don't know
what you‘re talking about. Do you
know. yourself?"
Gloria. stared at him.
"Do you mean to say you don't
know Susan Briggs is cuckoo about
you?" she asked. It would be just
like Dick not to be able to see it!
"You ought to know it!" sits went
on. “She doesn't take the trouble
to hide the fact that she's gone on
you. You've only got to look at. her
to know!"
O 0 O
T that the smouldering anger in
Dick burst out. He brought his
fist down noiselessly on the
thickly padded tablecloth in front of
him. , ~
"You ought to be ashamed of talk-
ing about a decent girl that way.
Gloria." he said. "And the way you
treated her just now was abant the
rottenest thing I ever saw. . . ."
“What do I care?" Gloria cried
wildly. ”Who's Susan Briggs that I
should bow and scrape to her! She
needn't think she can go toning
around with my husband. and have
me treat her like a tin angel!"
Dick looked at. her from under his
lowered brows. ‘
“You think l'm 'Jazzing around”
with Susan Briggs?" he asked
shortly.
"Sure i dot" Gloria’s tone was
airy.
"You know I'm not." Dick said
quietly. "You know I‘m not the
kind of man who chases women. You
know I run away from them. If I'd
known Susan Briggs was coming
here tonight to eat, l'd have gone
somewhere else. And you know that,
too!"
Glbr‘ia gave a short. ugly laugh.
”'You can bet your boots she knew
you were coming here. though!” she
mid. “I'll bet she even knows where
you go to get shaved, and where you
buy your collars . . . everything

if she just waited long enough. And
sure enough, you did!"
“I hardly ever eat here." Dick an-
swered. "So she couldn't have
(“eased I was coming here. in a
month of Sundays. Come on, let's
go! I've had enough of thisl—Do
you want to come back to the office
with me, or are you going home?"
"I'm not going back to the office.”
Gloria answered shortly. And left
him. .
She didn’t want to go home. either.
After Dick had left_her she walked
flowbfifiijjivinhfikt'ée? street
2914.354??? :“flummm;
Suddenly she saw two faces that
she knew in the moving throng
around her . . . little blond Mrs.
Wing and Gretchen Geist. The two
were churns. Gloria had played
cards with them dosans of times.
They had been at her house for
lunch. often.
And now she smiled at them in
greeting. But the smile froze on her
lips.
For both women looked her full in
the face for a moment. Neither
spoke. Then they looked sharply
away. And the coldness in their
eyes were like a. slap across Gloria's
face. She smarted under it.
0 O O
HE stood, quivering. for a long
moment. Here was a new prob
ieml
These women must have heard the
story of her love affair with Stanley
Wayburn . . . these women who
had been her good friends. Oh, she
couldn't lose them! They were the
people with whom she would have to
live her life. now that she had come
back to Dick!
As a drowning man clutches at a
straw. Gloria‘s thoughts turned to
Mother Gregory. She would have to
go to Dick's mother and ask her to
stand by her. As long as Dick's own
mother was her friend. no one would
dare to believe the story that she
had left Dick for Stanley Weyburn!
I C I
HERE were scores of people in
this town of ours who "knew
for a fact” that Gloria Gregory
had left her husband, and had run
away with a Broadway actor named
Stanley Wayburn.
No one knew where the nasty bit
of gossip had started. But it flew
all over town on the wings of the
wind. .
Gloria‘s card club heard it, and
voted Gloria out of the club.
Lola. Hough heard it and said it
wasn't true. She defended Gloria.
May Seymour heard it. and'asid
she didn't blame Gloria for going.
May. herself. would have been glad
to escape to New York for a few
weeks. For the gossips were busy
with her and Jim Car-ewe again.
"Sure they've been talking about
you.‘ she told Gloria cheerfully that
night on the telephone. "They say
you ran away with Wayhurn. and
that Dick went down to New York
and brought you home."
Gloria sighed dismally.
““’hat. a tale!" she said. “If they
must talk, why don‘t they get things
straight?"
“Didn‘t you run away with Stan-
ley Wayburn?" There was surprise
in May's voice. She, too. believed
the story of Gloria's desertion of
Dick.
"Of course not! Don‘t be silly!"
Gloria said sharply. "I went down
to New York to go on the stage. I
didn't even see Stan Wayburnl"
"That was a lie." she told herself
bluntly. as she left the 'telephone.
and began to undress. "but it‘s my
story and I'm going to stick to itl"
She would never let anyone know
that she had followed Wayburn to
New York and that he had turned
her down! She could never raise
her head again and look people in
the eye, if they found that out!
Gloria, tlptocd out into the hall
and half way down the stairs.
She thought she heard the sound of
Dick closing the door. But no one
was in the lower hall. The clock
there strdck twelve slowly and
boomingly.
Where was Dick? Why didn't‘he
come? . . . Surely he and Miss
Briggs couldn't be working until
