But the acceptance of this state of affairs by all insiders coincides with a newly reinforced prea most New Dealers that it doesn’t make much dif- lerence. Although for a year it has been administration policy to compromise and soft-pedal with powerful special in- terests on the theory that their co-operation was essen. tial to recovery, there is now pronounced belief that the New Deal is about to ride @ rising tide of business im- provement which will silence criticism and wash away the “lack of confidence” barrier raised by big business- big finance. I eee COUNCIL “HELP” CRUMBLES After the U. 8. Chamber of Commerce had loosed an all-embracing broadside at the administration and its congressional program, it was still possible to trot the tycoons of Secretary Dan Roper's Business Advisory Council to the White House with the inference that they were still behind the administration. Subsequent eyents have demonstrated rapidly that the courcil, which includes chairmen and presidents of our biggest ration, is for the New Deal only as long as it can steer it around. After Harry Kendall, its chairman, had agreed with Roosevelt that the council's reports on administration proposals should not be made public without both pre- leaked to the New York newspapers the council's report one, too.

A wall built of blue stucco and studded at intervals with orna- mental colored tiles bounded their grounds. There was a yacht landing and a plier, and several small boats floated at ancher at the foot of the steps. Zoe, wearing shorts and a middy-like white blouse which made her look like a very small girl, drank iced orange juice from a glass decorated with Ulies of the valley. The glass stood in the center of a bew! of the same delicate make. There wore sheer linen mats, the texture of cdbwebs, on the old oaken table. The maid who served Zoe was in pale yellow, with a musical comedy apron. Everything Mrs. Parker did or touched had this faintly unreal, theatrical air. Henry Parker had made his money in automobile tires and Uisa Parkér knew how to spend it, The one concern of this pair at the moment was their daughter. Zoe had been born: to them late in Mfe—Lisa had been 38 when Zoe's first faint scream was heard above the other hospital noises—. and now Zoe, at 20, was every- Zoe folded back the newspaper to the social notes. Her heart turned edd ts pice silewica saa what she read. and then righted itself again. “Mr. Gibbs Larkin is at the Pequot House at White Bay and will shortly depart with friends on a yachting party for Nova Scotia.” So that was it. Would a note to the Pequot House—air mail— reach him in time? Gibbs—Gibbs, darling, didn’t anyone tell you I was back? Didn’t you get my note? “Will you have more coffee, Miss Zoe?” asked the black-haired thing lovely, but she was a silly maid, Gerda, at her elbow. Uttle thing. Even Lisa acknowl- edged it. Lisa, who had cooked and scrybbed and washed dishes for 10 years in a little flat in De- troit before Henry came into the money, had a fund of “good, hard common sense.” She said so her- self. Zoe was frivolous as the wind, or as a butterfly set free over a bed of ageratum. And Zoe’s mania at the moment was Gibbs Larkin, who was 35 and who had been corespondent in at least two divorce cases. Lisa Parker told herself com- ftortably, coming into the break- fast room which fairly glittered with sunshine, that Zoe had prob- ably “got all over that.” Lisa wasn’t absolutely sure, but she , Beped for the best. Hadn’t that nice young man on the boat—the Princeton a terrific tugs about Zoe? Never called her anything but “Beautiful” all the live-long dey. And had sent flow-|* ers twice since they'd been back. eee Lisa Parker's thoughts on this fine morning. “The storm,” she said, casually, to. her daughter, “; about ruined my delphiniums.' Zoe lifted a transparent cup and drank her coffee. “Terrible!” she said affably.: ‘Wasn't it funny, Zoe mused, how older women were about garden- ‘No, I think not, Gerda, thank you.” “Tell cook to order some more of that gluten bread,” Mrs, Parker said. “And tell her to come to me in the mornjng room right after I have my manicure. We're having dinner party to morrow night. I’ve got to see to everything,” she grumbled de lightedly, once the maid had van- ished behind the swinging door. “Who's coming?” “Oh, the Strykhursts and the Julians, and Captain Byrne and his fiancee. Two or three other people—I forget—your father h: the list.” : “Do I show up?” “You certainly do!” Mrs. Par- ker made her eyes very round. She was .a.-plump, well-favored woman with a nice color and cheerful blue eyes behind nose lasses. “Dad is having Mr. Cotaine from the office—very nice Eng- lshman, rubber expert, to take you in,” Mrs. Parker went on. “Son of a lord, ‘Dad says.” . Ze made a not altogéther com- piimentary sound with her pretty lips. “Naughty girl,” cooed Mrs. Parker. “What elfe did you have in mind?” “There’s @ dance at the club,” Zoe pouted. “Frank Corliss was ing? Herself, she simply couldn’t imagine fussing about anything so unimportant. She fo! back the newspaper before her to the social notes. Her heart turned over—once—twice, It thudded, coming out for it.” .“The Princeton boy?” Mrs. Parker beamed. “The very hs “Well,” pondered Lisa Parker happily, “Dad can arrange that. We'll all go over tq the club later, then. Wouldn't you like to ask Frank to dinner, too? Per haps I can get Katharine Stryk- hurst. That will make the table just right...” “No, don't,” Zoe said hastily. “He's dining with some people from Scarsdale. The Williamses— ‘Willises—something like that. He just said he'd see me there.” . It wouldn’t do to get Mother too ex- cited about Frank Corliss. She'd be having them engaged before you knew it. “Oh, very well, then. It’s all settled.” Mrs. Parker was per- fectly happy this morning. Zoe ran out of the house and around to the garage. Waters was polishing the car in which her father drove to town every morning. “My car all right?” The little chauffeur came around to the side of Zoe's rosd- ster. “It was the gearshift lever I fixed it.” She climbed in, with a flash of brown legs. Good thing Mother didn’t see her start off in shorts. Mother was old- fashioned about such things. Ob, wasn’t going to get out and parade around Main Street in them, although some of the cot- tagers did that, buying their vegetables and groceries. Zoe wrinkled up her nose at the thought... Katharine wasn’t in, the maid atthe Strykhursts said. She would be back from the riding club in half an hour. “Riding every day, h’m?” Zoe muttered, backing the little car and wheeling it about. Zoe decided to go out to Shady Ridge and see if she could pick up Katharine. They hadn’t had a chance to talk the other day, with all that crowd around the club. And yesterday had been stormy and Katharine had called to say she didn’t feel well. Had a headache or something. As if it Weren't an unheard-of thing for Zo drove into the door yard of the riding school. It was the old Rogers farm: this new man, whoever he was, rented it from Dan Rogers. There was nobody about but an elderly colored maz who said Miss Strykhurst was due back any minute. Zoe shut off the engine and waited. It was very quiet here. A few chickens fluffed about is the yard, and occasionally a horse's inquiring head, with its big, mild eyes, would appear over the open door of the stall. Zoe closed her eyes. Some times, at moments like this, she thought it would be nice if she could get over Gibbs—get over wanting the queer excitement his presence always brought her. She hadn’t slept well last night. Maybe that was why she dropped off into slumber as she waited for Katharine. That was why she didn’t know the horses and their riders had returned. Her car was drawn up alongside the dirt road, in the shadows of the drooping willow. Katharine didn’t see her, either, for quite a little time, She was talking to the tall young man who dismounted from the big, nervous horse with the white star on his forehead. Zoe, awaking, stared at them curt. ously. ‘Why, whatever was the matter with Katharine? She had never seen her look that way—never before in all her life, Katharine was pale, but her eyes glittered as though she hed an inward fever. Presently Kathi saw Zoe waiting for her, she flushed deeply, painfully, and said some- thing to the man in riding clothes, He turned toward Zoe's car and saluted her gravely, Then Katha- rine walked briskly toward the car, “My dear, I believe love!” Zoo said. me * Katharine stared at her. “Non- sense,” sho said sharply. “2 never heard anything so silly in my life!” - Katharine to say she was ill, | +4 (To Be Comtinueay ~~
