mss BRIGGS. Dirk stays out
late one night. Gloria is sure
that he is with Miss Briggs. but
the next day she learns that he
spent the night at the home of
DR. JOHN SEYMOUR. who had
killed himself beanse of his
wife's love affair with JIM CA-
REWE.
The breach between Gloria
and Dick widens. Gloria tries
to do a good Job of housekeeping
and falls. At last she makes
up her mind to leave Dick. The
morning she decides to go. May
Seymour comes to see her. She
shows Gloria a clipping from a.
newspaper. and bursts into tears.
IiNOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
LORIA unfolded the little clip
ping, curiously.
“Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Mili-
brook announce the engagement of
their daughter. Margot. to Mr.
James Neale Carevre. formerly of
Boston. The wedding will be an
event of late October," it read.
"Jim Carewe engaged!" Gloria
cried aloud. “Why, did you ever
hear of such a. thing! And who's
the girl, for goodness sake?"
May looked up at her with wet,
red-rimmed eyes. “She’s a little
cousin of Myra Gail's." she said. "A
young thing just: graduated from
school this month. She can't be
more than'twentv . . .and Jim's
thirty-nix. if he's a minute! Talk
about cradle robbing. . . ." ‘
Gloria. shook her head slowly.
"In. May." she. said. “You n'ever
caret-l a snap of your fingers about
Jim. I've heard you say so a hun-
dred times. It was always Jim who
was wild about you."
“i know it." May answered. "But
Jim‘s like all men. He wants to be
respsctulule. He'd never marry me
in a, million years since this . . .
this scandal about John‘s . . . sui-
cide.”

thing for you But Dick left some
coffee on the stove. and there's Jelly
and rolls.”
HE stopped and looked hard at
May for a minute. “Well," she
said. "I guess we’re both out of
luck, my dear. I’m leaving Dick
this morning. We've agreed to dis
agree. And I'm going back home to
my people."
They stood there looking at each
other with empty eyes. Neither had
a word to say.
It flashed through Gloria‘s mind
that they were like moths dancing
around a. light. They had flown too
close to danger and had had their
wings singed and broken. . . .
But Stanley Wayburn and Jim Cs-
rewe were safe enough! One mar-
ried. the other engaged to be msr-
Irled! They had escaped. Men al-
ways did.
It was the woman who took all the
slurs. the snubs, and the pain. The
man went soot-free from one love
affair to another. . . .
"Gloria." May said suddenly.
"Let's get out of this town! Let's
go away where nobody knows us.
and start over again. . . ."
But Gloria shook her head. "No,”
she said. “I tried that once . . .
The time I went to New York. And
I almost died from homesickness. I
. I wanted Dick."
May stored at her. “Well. you
poor little fish, why are you leaving
him, then?" she asked, “If you care
anything about him?"
“It's Dick who wants me to go,"
Gloria answered. "He .I . . he‘s
through with me."
”Oh, you're crazy." May answered.
"You might tell that to some people.
and get away with it! But I know
Dick Gregory . . . and he’s in love
with you, and always has been!"

PIER May had gone. Gloria
thought over what she had
said. Was it possible that
Dick still loved her?
It . . No, May was wrong. Dick
pressed her handkerchief
hard against her lips for a moment.
When she went on bravely: "This
girl can give 'Jim just what he
wants. Ruspectability. o. houseful of
friends, youth . . .everythlng clean
and new and shining. Perhaps he
still does care for me, but he‘s not
going to marry a sandal! He's too
selfish to do a thing like that! He
thinks too much of himself." '
She took off her black hat and
tossed it down on the hall table.
“You haven’t any coffee on the
stove, have you?" she asked. "I
haven't had any breakfast."
I haven't had any, either,” Gloria
answeted. "Come out into the kitcho

wouldn't let her go this way. would
he?
IAll morning as site made the beds
an‘d washed the dishes. Gloria
listened tenseiy for the phone to
ring. . . . There was just a bare
chance that Dick would call her
from the office to ask her not to go
away from him.
. . . But no. Susan Briggs was
at the ofilce. And Dick was com-
pletely under her sway. lie was
probably not. even thinking about
his wife at home. His wife, packing
her trunks to leave his house. for-
ever!
Hodn‘t Dick said that. Miss Briggs
was the one person in the world who
gave him sympathy and understand-
ing? A man didn't talk that way
about a woman unless he was in love
ly. .
She locked her trunks. and pres-
ently the expressmnn come for

There was nothing more to do
. no excuse for staying. And
still Gloria. lingered in the house
that had been the House of Dreams
for her and Dick. . . .
House of Dreams? . . . Heart-
break House was more like it!
Gloria. laid the key to the front door
clown on the hell table. where Dick
would be sure to find it. She picked
up her little handbag. and went out.
The door closed behind her. It

HE sat down on the front steps.
and looked through the Sunday
‘ paper. Suddenly the photo-
graph of a house in the advertising
section caught her eye. It looked
like their house '. . . Dick‘s and
hers. It was their house!
"Owner must sell," read the cut-
line beneath the picture. "Six room

niture. tool Everything that had
been theirs . . . the friendly yellow
lamp in the living room. the cunning
white kitchen table. the gold-colored
Chinese rug that had lain like sun-
light on the floor of the dining room
"I suppose he'll sell even the little
red smoking-stand I gave him fol
Christmas," Gloria thought miser
ably, "and my little ieuvwagon!”
The little tea-wagon had been the
pride of Gloria's heart. it had looked
so homey with its blue ten cups, and
the little silver teapot that had been
Dick's grandmother‘s.
"i think I'll telephone Dick and
ask him for that little ten-wagon."
she made up her mind that night. as
she lay in bed.
But when the morning came she
did not telephone. She decided to
go to Dick's ofl‘lce to ask him for the
tea-wagon. She didn't know why
. . . but she wanted to see him!
She wanted _terrlblv to see him
again. .
HE spent two hours bathing her-
self. brushing her hair. making
herself lovely for Dick's eyes.
Her beauty was her only weapon
against Miss Briggs. She must keep
it bright and shining!
“Thank goodness, l'm still young?"
she thought. "Years younger than
Miss Briggs. who must be at least
thirty.
"After a while i shill be thirty.
and call myself twenty -.nlne " Gloria
said to herself. “But 1'“ bet I won‘t
look like Sue Briggs! So long as
there's a grain of powder or an inch
of lipstick left. in the world, I‘ll have

Her heart was light as she hurried
down the street to the street our
line; She bummed happily, as we-
men do when they are going to meet
the man they love. . . But did
she love Dick? She didn't know. She
knew only that in a few minutes she
would be seeing him again. That was
enough.
