(s Syncpsic: Society seems to Venice Muir like a brilliant meh of machinery, which whirls before her with intricate turns that baffle her. She tries again and again to be pepular, to learn the methods of cther girls. Her mother urges her on. But each time she fails, thrcugh her inability to be light and frivolous. The caly man who has seemed at- tracted to her, Drake Farrelly, has gene out of town, promis- ing to call her on his return. Venice mets Ann Duryea, who ic a “social success” because it ic whispered that the murdered her husband. Nolly Spalding, one of Venice's 1 friends, believes in Venic success and Venie does net disillusion her, Nolly's lame leg, which she calls “Pongo,” and her lack of meney prevent her from going into society with Venice and learning the truth about her friend. Mrs. Muir unexpected- Iy teils Venice that the is go- ing to take her abroad next month.

A quick excitement and antic- ipat abruptly lifted her from 4 the rut into which she was sinking. She had hated this st winter with a growing bitter: ness in an aching regret. “Well, there's no doubt about it dea re sure a dismal failure | socially.” Venice winced. “Your self-consciousness grows with your Paris would give you an| y new start.

It'll be a fresh beginning and T expect you to do your utmost and | benefit by it in ever possible man- ner. “Yes,” said Venice. It was true. Bhe could make a new start. “I'll try,” she promised and her tone was cheerful and bright with Parker Pens Sold at THE Nugget Shop What all at Non- Breakable!

The mere fact that she was from far away would something perhaps of that veil of mystery that was Ann Duryea’s. New hope assailed her. The next few weeks were accom- panied by all the hurry, bustle and | latent excitement attendant on a ;Europenn adventure. Nolly wus bitterly disappointed at Venice's going but her pleased excitement in Venice's prospects exceeded the grief. “Just think,” she ecried, have counts and all things.” “you'll sorts of “Of course I won't.

I think it was your velvet dress that did it. He’s coming to see me to- morrow night. That's the second time since mother and father and I dined with him.” “He's a bona fide beau, Nolly.” Nol eyes that gave Venice a quick stab of envy. It was a sof!, deep look like the look Lola's eyes ‘11.1d held when she stared at Jerry. “Do you love him?” Venice asked | with sudden crudity from out her | hurt. “I—I think so. But, Venice, you | mustn’t say anything ever to any {one about it. I don't know how he feels about me. But—oh, I'm mad I lie awake at night remembering his strong thin hands and the way his hair grows around his forehead and—and all sorts of silly little things. But no one would ever want to marry me with Pongo.” Her face suddenly worked. It was terrible because she tried so valiantly to control it. She caught her lower lip between her teeth. Her cxpression went all twisted and broke up with the welling of tears. She covered her eyes with her hands and began to cry mis- erably. Venice put her arms around her. “Don’t Nolly, darling, ple: Pongo isn't much compared to all | the rest of you that's so sweet.” Nolly’s tears stopped as unex- pectedly as they had started. She looked up hastily with a watery smile. “I'm silly,” she said. “You don't have to marry any way to be happy.” “No,” agreed Venice. But she wondered. Here was a new fear that had never come to her before. ‘As is invariably the way when |one looks. forward to a certain date time drags interminably and it seems elusively distant. Then sud- denly it pops into view, its propor- | tions magnified. So the morning of ithe Muir's date for sailing arrived. I can't believe it's here, reflected Venice and snapped the lock of her trunk. She looked across the room and wondered if the little Japanese figures on lacquered bed and table and desk would miss her. What mcnotonous lives—always crossing bridges. But wasn't that all life was anyway? Crossing bridges. The telephone startled her. “Hello.” “Hello, Veice. It's Drake.” “Oh.” She could feel the color “I—1" What should she say. “Did you think I'd shuffled off these mortal coils forever?” “Just about.” She laughed. She knew that quick easing of her shy- ness that he had lent her before. “What a business trip! Did you go to Hongkong, by chance?” “No. TI've been back a couple of | months but my father had double pneumonia. Now all is well. I see you tonight” “Oh, Drake, we're fated to never meet face to face. Mother and I are sailing for Europe tonight.” “No.” How inconsiderate. But we're not fated. What time do you scramble up the gang plank?” His evident interest went to her head like sudden wine. Words tum- bled off her tongue. “Kind sir, T never scramble. I walk with dignity and grace.” | She heard his. gay, infectious May ' |laugh. “Excellent.

But I never heard of the name Farrelly.” Venice smiled. How she thought, humorously. After dinned she hurrieid to her room to survey herself in the mir- ror, add powder and lipstick, re- comb her hair. “Mr. Farrelly, Miss Venice.” T'll be right there, Norah.” Venice hurried excitedly to the living-room. Mrs. Muir was en- gaged in conversation with Drake. Venice could see her foctsteps lagged disappointedly that her mother was mentally examining him to see if he were a suitable companion for the progeny of Stuyvesant Muir and a Virginia man, any- a friend of Mrs. him at Lola’s camning, “Hello, Drake.” “How are you, Venice.” They shook hands. It was stiff and un- comfortable. Not the way Venice ness engulfed her. “Mr. Farrelly’s mother was a Norton,” beamed Mrs. Muir. “Ruth Norton. 1 believe she and your father went to dancing school to- gether.” “How nice,” said Venice, taking a large chair facing the deep sofa where they sat. She felt miserably self-conscious. “Mother says she was a scraggly looking girl,” Drake remarked. He seemed to understand Venice's dis- comfort. smiled at her and there was a slight crinkling of the small lines at their corners. “Unattractive girls often turn into the most charming women,” Mrs, Muir vouchsafed. “Yes,” said Venice. Her eyes wandered unhappily to the old grandfather clock in one corner.

Perhaps her mother would have to hurry to see if everything was in. Mrs. Muir rose hastily. “I must see,” she sald. “Good- night, Mr. Farrelly. 1 hope we'll see you when we return.” “You will,” Drake assured her retreating back. Venice finds something in Drake’s visit that gives her a feeling of interesting future de- velopments, tomorrow. — oo — REINDEER DINNER The Salvation Army will serve a reindeer dinner Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock at their hall on Wil- loughby Avenue. 50c per plate. adv. —_— FOR QUICK COAL SERVICE Phone 492.
