AFTER HEARIN' YOU ROAR ABOUT MY RELATIVES ALL SYNOPSIS: An invitation to Mrs. Coates’ villa at Biarritz gives Venice Muir further | scope in her campaign for | pcpularity. She is creating for | herself the reputation of daz- | zling social success in Europe, | with which to return home and win a New York that has considered her a social liabil- ity. Guy Bryson has helped | launch her in Paris. Now Rene de Thernadier is pursuing her. Mrs. Coates has invited Rene in the hopes of interesting him in her niece, Rosemary. Ven- ice cares for Rene only as a | symbol of her success, and ‘ wants him to marry Rosemary. | | | Chapter 24 A WINDOW OV--~ THE SEA | Venice had one serious discussion with Rene about Rosemary. They |sat on the grass outside the villa one golden afternoon watching the sea and, hatless, letting an imper- |tinent little breeze play with their hair. “She’s the best-natured girl I o ever met,” said Venice. | Rene shrugged and raised his hands with a delicate kind of hor- ror. | “But no grace, no aplomb.” “But such a sense of humor.” “So has a fishmonger.” j “That's unkind, Rene. And she ‘hkes you.” | “So does the femme de chem- | bre.” | “But the femme de chambre is not eligible.” : | “Neither is Rosemary. “What do you mean? She's sin- |gle and jolly and rich. What more do you want, Rene?” “Charm.” “Charm won't comfort you when you're ill or fill your lonely hours.” Why was she taking such pains over Rosemary’s future, Venice won- dered. Because she liked her, of course, and because obviously Rose- mady was bovine enough to fit into any marriage of convenience. And as far as Rene was concerned sure- | ly one match for money was as good as another. “Cest vral,” he admitted. “But charm is a —what do you say—a! stop gap for the hours of monot- | ony that marriage is sure to bring.” Venice sighed. This was proving| difficult. | “I think you're stupid,” she pro- tested. “You would love to have' money and here it is for you on a| silver platter.” ] “No,” said Rene. “It is only a; pudgy hand. I do not like fat.” | He shuddered with real aversion. | Venice rose and brushed the grass from her skirt. “Of course I've been impertinent. It's none of my business, anyway.” “Don’t go.” He caught her hand and tried to detain her. “I want; to tell you something, Venice.” “Is it nice?” “Very.” “Then save it, please, Rene.
