THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, JANUARY 8 1932. “Now I'm repaid for the torture’ of this collar.

CARTER'S dinner party was in full swing. Judy, in- wardly nervous, found herself seated at the table between a tall, thin man with a lazy yoice and a thread of brown mustache, whom she heard called Dart Towers, and Nick Carter. She was amazed to see Nick there. In the first moment she did not recog- | nize him in the sleek black and white | of tuxedo. His bronze face and pow- | erful figure made the other men seem 8 trifie undersized. In spite of Stan's| unusual good looks, Nick Carter was the most distinguished appearing man in the room In her nervousne: at her first formal | arty, Judy was unfeignedly glad to see im. She told ' n 50 and he grinned. | “Now I'm repaild for the torture:of! this collar! I decided to come at the | last minute because I wanted to get| petier acquainted with my new rela- | ivel” | ' His tone was light, but there was grave commendation in the gray eyes. Elza was right, ran Nick Carter's thoughts; this girl was unusual! A flowerlike quality about her, delicately lov She was like a tea rose in that pale, creamy thing But more than prettiness—character was there Honesty in the way her eyes met a| Tellow's . strength and even a| Jittle stubbornness in the line of the| small, firm chin Judy spoke of the shawl and he gave her some family history | “Her son, Nicholas, was first mate on a sailing ship which went to China in the old days. He died when he was still & young man and I think it was the deepest sorrow of her life. Her | other son, Robert, was my father. But, | strangely enough, they say 1 resemble my Uncle Nicholas—I was named for [ This was probably the reason the old lady loved him so, Judy thought, avely regarding his strong brown ace. In this younger Nicholas Mme Carter had found her beloved younger #son again But serious thoughts were crowded | out by the flood of -new impressions Judy was receiving tonight. . A very gay—_very nolsy dinner party.| Mrs. Carfer, flutteringly hospitable in gray net over gold, her cornsilk hair threatening to slide over one ear, was| at the head of the table. Vera—a| trifie upholstered in black velvet, and beside her a stout young man whom no one took seriously, but who con- wveniently filed the Tole of escort on such occasions. Judy learned that his name was “Tubby.” As a rule, people | forgot there was any more to it | The rest of the women were Amy's particular chums; the members of the exclusive set which dominated Lock- wood soclety | There was the talkative Georgia— 4n a dress from which she had obvi- ously removed the sleeves to make @ | dinner gown. Georgia Was a poor manager and was unable to get along on her really generous alimony. She | was always in debt, aiways bemoaning | her makeshifts and pitying herself for being burdened by the care of her child, yet, oddly enough, she went with Mouth Breathing Dangerous, say Noted ) the wealthiest set in town. Perhaps 1 ! certainly cost as much. When she re- ! moved it, she was an ice-princess. Her isilver dress threw off a scintillating fire when she moved. Her small, per- fect hands were blazing with diamonds There was a diamond drop about her throat by a platinum chain and a blaze of bangles on her arm When she stirred the fragrance of | Nuit de Noel went through the room. And the owner of all this exquisite loveliness was fat and middle-aged and rather taciturn. “Oh! Is that Eunice Wilson's hus- band!” Judy exclaimed, involuntarily, and there was such disillusion in her voice that Nick Carter laughed. “You are very young, my sister-in- law! Millions seldom go with Adonises! Wilson used to be a puddler in a steel mill in his distant youth. He is many years—and many _millions—removed from his crude youth!” “But _she's 50 beautiful! unearthly!” “Just the word,” Nick agreed. “One can't think of Eunice Wilson in terms She’s almost forth violets.” There was a dryness in his which flashed her eyes to his face How oddly he was looking at her. Watching her, Judy thought as their eyes met, with—could it be compas- sion? “She reminds me” the man went tone the reason for this lay in Georgia's usefulness to her friends. Being bur- dened with no husband, Georgia's apartment became & convenient piace for young married women to-keep un- conventional engagements. Georgia was afternoon parties where the same hus- bands and wives never met. C was the go-between in exciting min love affairs, faithfully relaying te phone_ appointments and reaping her reward in careless gifts of gloves and perfumes—theater tickets—dinner parties. There were several women in Lockwood who would not dare exclude Georgia in their social affairs, no mat- ter how they secretly desired to do so. With Georgia, her escort for the night — escorts always varied for Georgia—was Billy Sumner, a blond young man permanently parboiled by the golf course Acros the centerpiece of jonquils was Eunice Wilson, Amy’s particular chum Judy had started at the sight of her. The beautiful unknown of the photo- graph in Stan’s room! And at thei first glance, Judy found herself staring with fascinated eyes. She was at once lovelier and not so lovely as the photograph. Her coloring was exquisite; her hair a strange rich gold, so perfectly arranged, so lustrous that it seemed carved out of metal Her face was a perfect oval, tinted the same dark _cream all over. That pure pallor of Eunice’s made other women with color on their cheeks seem trivial—commonplace by contrast. H"l eyes were blue—not the thoughtful gray-blue of Judy'’s, but a brilliant light blue, almond in shape and set in long dark lashes, tiptilted at the cor- ners in a fascinating way. They seemed, thought Judy admiringly, like | twin sapphires set in the ivory of her face. Yet, in the photograph—though it lacked the charm of her unusual color- ing—there had been a depth—a sug- gestion of character which was lacking in the actual girl. A trick of the shad- | ows, perhaps—the art of the photog- rapher—thought - Judy 8s ehe gazed across the jonquils, fascinated. Cer- | tainly the wistful charm of the pic- tured face was not here tonight on Eunice Wilson's perfect features, { Eunice contrived to make every| woman in_the room seem a ljttle duil | tonight. Bhe had come swathed from | head to. foot in & snowy ermine cape | | vhich seemed a, royal robe .and had on, “of the beautiful Snow Queen in the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale.

A tall, thin—almost skinny woman. Her skin was so dark that it seemed almost coffee-colored. Her black lashes were stubby and heavily mascaraed so that they stood out in stiff points about her small, greenish eyes.

Her conversation was full of refer- ences to great people—whom she | seemed to know intimately and call by their first names | She tapped men on the arm when she | talked to them. Vera called down the table to her: “Patty Warren! Where did you get hold of those gorgeous eardrops?
