DAILY SHORT STORY-: OUT OF HER HAND Anne Was Sure That the Ice-Blue Satin Formal Would Have Dave Eati BY KATHERI 'N HER ice-blue satin formal, with her hair the color of old gold and her skin tanned to the de- gree necessary to make any girl with freckles gnash her teeth in envy, Anne was what she herself would term a “knockout.” A difficult cam- paign had been necessary to coax the dress out of dad; but the idea of catching him right after he had beaten Jock at golf was a stroke worthy of a genius. Of course, now she would have to let Jock use her car for a week and fix a date for him with Pat for the next dance to pay for the sacrifice of his reputation as a golfer; but her reflection in the mirror nodded that it was worth it. She wasn't going to let a boy friend of hers fall for any redhead without making him realize the deficiencies in his taste. If only a new man would turn up at the club tonight Dave would be eating out of her hand by tomorrow. Half an hour later Anne made her entrance into the ball room of the Glenwood Country Club. The first thing she saw was Dave gazing very tenderly at the bright red head of Kitty, her rival. Then her eyes rested upon another—a man she had never seen before! He looked up at the same instant and it seemed to Anne that a look of the mutual understand- ing existing between two Kindred souls passed between them Forgotten was Dave and his red- headed girl friend, forgotten the an- “You dance gular Bud who even now elbowed her | onto the crowded dance floor. When the music stopped Anne ex- cused herself and made a dive for Susan, her sister-in-law “Isn't he grand?” she breathed. “Who? Dave?” asked Susan absent- mindedly as she patted her hair. “Dave!” snapped Anne with all the fury of a woman scorned. “Why. that man you were just dancing with, of course. Who is he?" Susan regarded her calculatingly, a roguish glint in her eyes. She hesitated an instant before replying. “Darling, didn't any one tell you? That's Tom Pearson, the aviator. He has won just loads of medals and cups and things. Surely you must have heard of him? Everybody in New York was just insane about him; he was invited everywhere. Wouldn't you like to meet him?"” This was all that was necessary for Anne. She quickly engineered Susan across the floor. “Miss Hartford, may I present Mr. Pearson?” Susan smiled teasingly as she left them to dance. Of course. Sue prob- | ably was a bit jealous, Anne reflected complacently. “You dance beautifully, Miss Hart- ford.” “Oh, thank you.” trilled Anne, de- murely looking up through heavy lashes. Wasn't he just a perfect height for her? This certainly ought ng Humble Pie. NE GORMAN. The idea of send- ing that red-head orchids when she had always been lucky if she re- ceived gardenias! “How long are you staying here?” Two days would do the trick if she could keep him out of her sister Jane's experienced clutches. “I had intended to leave tomorrow, but since I came here tonight I've changed my mind. “I think I'll stay a week.” Could it have been the sight of her that caused this prolonged stay? Undoubtedly the ice-blue satin formal was getting in its deadly work. “By the way, do you mind if I call you Anne?” He must have asked some one her first | name—Sue probably, and she hadn't told her! Now wouldn't you think a sister-in-law would have some loy- alty? They danced for a while in what seemed to Anne the silence of per- fect understanding. She noticed Dave watching her out of the corner of his | eye. How had she ever been able to | stand him for so long? “Really, Anne, you know you ought | to take up modeling and commercial photography work. You would be wonderful!” There! Hadn't:her in- tuition told her that here was a man | who would bring out the dormant | powers in a woman? “It's warm in here. Let's sit out on the terrace where we can talk. | I'd like to have you tell me all about | yourself and your life here in Glen- | wood.” Here actually was a man who | wanted to hear about somebody be- | sides himself. | Out on the terrace they found two | chairs and Anne sat back with a little |sigh, A perfect night, a new dress, and best of all, such a man as she had never met before. Prospects were good. She thought dreamily of a week of swimming, horseback riding and | dancing together. She hoped mother | wouldn't be obstinate and say that he | was too old for her. It would make | things much too difficult to bear. | He had been talking all the while | she revelled in these thoughts. The {last words of a long speech filtered through to her consciousness. “Then | my wife and I plan to put the chil- | dren in a school down South for the Winter—" “Your what?” murmured Anne weakly. She recalled Susan’s curious smile’ when the introduction was | made. The wretch! “My wife. I'm Kitty’s uncle, you know. I've heard her talk about you many a time. And say, we've got the two cutest kids you'd ever want to see. Talk about smart!

Failing to prove his claim that funds were to have been placed to his credit in a Phillipsburg, Pa., bank, Richard C. Morgan, 1400 block of Massachusetts avenue, yesterday was sentenced by Judge Isaac R. Hitt in Police Court to serve six months in jail on each of two bad-check charges, | one for $10 and the other for $5. At the time of his arraignment last week Morgan told the court that, al- though he pleaded guilty to the issu- ance of the two worthless checks, he was the beneficiary of his mother’s | estate, and under the terms of the | will a substantial sum of money was | to have been placed to his credit in the Pennsylvania bank. It also was testified that Morgan had given the Liberty National Bank a check for $1,000 to open an account, but had | made no effort to draw checks against | the account. Judge Hitt continued the case on the chance there might be some truth | in the story, but neither the check | squad nor the counsel appointed to represent him could verify the claim. Members of the special check squad of the Detective Bureau said there are several other unpaid checks out- standing against Morgan. ‘Women to Get Degrees.
