THE EVENING ‘STAR, WASHINGTON, D. /i 1932. WHAT HAS HAPPENED 80 PAR. Atter a_whirlwind courtship.

HE road wound abruptly off the grade into a country of sun-, soaked sand dunes. | Down by the cliff edge | three-story house stood in iso- | lated dignity, gulls wheeling and | sereeching about its wooden cornices. | Weatherbeaten it was, standing in the nidst cf a neglected garden, for the Carter family visited it only on such brief holidays as this. YToday, however, the windows were | wide to the sun and the sea breeze. | Pon had placed bright garden chairs and grass mats on the warped rooden veranda. ‘The sunny, square bed rooms on the second floor had been aired and made up for the guests. Judy's elaborate fitted bag formed a whimsical contrast to the old-fashioned room. Her French perfumes and pow- dér—lacy bits of lingerie, seemed con- sciously frivolous scattered over the bureau and chairs, fashioned in the mold of' & by-gone generation. The old house seemed to be having & spas- mbdic return to youth. Judy moved to the window and stgod looking into the garden below. Atangle of ashioned flowers gone to, seed there were clumps of rose-geranium and lemon verbena and old maid's pincushion, lavender and wine. Sweet peas struggled above & | thicket of wild rose vines. Two white butterflies hovered over the fragrant juigle and the sunny space was filled with the wash of the sea A sweet spot—thought the girl wist- fully. If she were only here alone with Stan She closed her eyes, trying toblot out the thought of the others— | Patty's shrill laughter echoing up the hall Amy's sharp commands to Pon toybring her some hot water. Alone with Stan in this restful stillness. Their hoheymoon . It ‘would be a restful oasis in their heiidlohg existence. It seemed to Judy thgt she and Stan had been running madly since the day they had met. | had rushed her into love—into marriage . . . Nothing but rush since n:; had come to Lockwood. t they could come here on & quiet wabk end, down here in the sunny, de- sefted place, things would become nor- mal They would find each other ., . Judy tiled—a little shyly—to put this into words to Stan, as he stood brushing back his hair before the mir- rot. She could see the dark eyes flash, half amused half impatient. Handsome Stan, who must have excitement and 8 imiration “Oh, Lord, Jude! Have a heart! Two cdays of this jumping off place jusl about cures me! I have to have | thg crowd tc help me through that!” cut into her heart. Quick pride flafed up. “Too bad you can't stand yolir wife's unadulterated company for ong week end! That you have to have th§t drinking, bridge playing crowd | .. and ..and Eunice Wilson . “Oh, Lord!” No question that Stai eyes flashed then! “All roads lead to| Rome, don't they! When you've come | to your proper senses, come on down- | staisl® “He slammed the door as he | eft. Judy leaned against the frame, hating herself. Mingled with the anger and shame she felt was a baffed surprise. She hadn't meant to mention Eunice’s name. She flew after | Stan, called him back in a stifled, | tragic voice. His tall figure turned at the head of | the stairs. He turned slowly back, | handsome face set. “What ls it?” Judy pulled him back into the room, even as something in her cried: “Don't | make & scene—he'll hate it!” | She found, to her anger, that she had begun to cry. Why did she always cry | when she most wanted her self-con- | trol? “Honey—please—I'm sorry . . .| I know that sounded—petty! Please, say you forgive me—" “Oh—sure.” How weary his volce sounded! The tired indifference hurt her more than his anger could have done, “It was the way she moved into the seat beside you . . . I wanted to sit there. I know it sounds silly, but— we've been together so little lately, and —I was counting on this trip—-" “Well—let's forget it. Snap out of it, row: this isn’t a funeral!” Stan’s lips, tight and dry, brushed | her own as Dart Tower's hail came up the stairs | “Hey—Stan, they're serving a drink down here! Women and children first! Brass knuckles barred!” “We'd better go on down——" Judy | listened to Stan’s footsteps receding | down the hall. After a moment she could hear his voice, gay and forgetful, | mingling with the others. | Judy went back to the sunny window | frame and dried her eyes. Something frantic was beating in her heart. What | was the matter with her? she wonder- ed in frightened bewilderment. Why did she blunder so stupidly from one | scene to another? Why should she always mention Eu- | nice’s name at the wrong time? it bored Stan and humiliated her . . . It was probably because the thought of Eunice was always there, under the resentful surface—teady to break | through if she lessened the guard . . . DEPEND ON ZEMO TO Soothing, healing, invisible ZEMO is | in thousands of homes to bring relief from the torture of itching, burning Eczema. ZEMO has been used for twenty years with remark- able success to stop itching and draw the heat and sting out of the skin, and help clear away Rashes, Ringworm, Pimples and other an- noying skin or scalp irritations. | Extra trength ZEMO especially | adapted for chronic casss. _ All Dealers. 35c, 60c, $1.00.

Something dmurmnsv about it in the | first glance . . . Women felt those things, didn't they—women in love? But Stan had reassured her then . . . that old affair with Eunice had died. He'd married her, Judy, hadn't he, just s Eunice had married Wilson? ‘ And now, Judy thought, with a cold little sinking at her heart, her jealous | love could not rouse Stan's protests. | She bored him . . . To bore a man | was fatal to his love . . . Had she read | that somewhere? | Don't stand there, thinking things to | window | make her cry! That was playing right | a cl | into Eunice’s hands. Stan would think | berry she was sulking. Stan sulked himself | —but he hated it in others . . . Judy went down to & gay Darty,| smoking and drinking in the incongru- | ous dignity of the old parlor. The| radio was blaring dance music. Pon | was passing & tray of cocktails. Eunice and Stan started to dance. Stan's black | eyes were deflantly moody. ~Their | faces were ardently close ‘and _their | bodies moved together like flames blown in the same wind. " Judy made a great point of not see- ing them. She danced with Dart Tow- ers, who held her too close in corners, where Amy's watchful blue eyes could not_see. She danced with Patty's colorless husband, secretly horrified and amused when she found that she could not re- member his name. She told this to Nick Carter, when he took her for a fox trot a few moments later. It was pleasant to hear him laugh. Judy tried to show: them all that she was not watching Stan. She was not jealous. She'd make Stan believe that! Across the room, thin legs crossed high in a manner incongruous on that old-fashioned sofa, Patty Warren Jlew Joud of smoke between her rasp- tinted lips and said to Amy, while her eyes followed Stan and Eu- nice about the room: “Something immoral about house- parties, I always think _ : . Deliclously immoral. Puts ideas in°people’s heads. Look over there at your good looking brother.” Amy's lips curled thinly. “Eunice is losing her head . Imagine the beautiful row if Wilson were here to watch his adored wife! And Stan had better watch out.

Absurd, and—tragic.

She could out-last them all . . . A lunch, where everything was gay banter and very unreal Eunice was in mad spirits. Her brilliant beauty had taken on a diamond edge. Her eyes clung to Stan's with bold caress. Judy appeared not to notice. Her cheeks were flushed and she laughed a great deal. She made no protest when Dart Towers' arm strayed indolently over her shoulders. That was the way the game was played . . . You plased up to men . . . They laughed at you if you showed you loved your own hus- band too much . . . "This was the pattern of Stan’s life. He liked it. If she wanted Stan she’d have to like it, too. And she did want Stan.
