B—6 LOVELY LITTLE FOOL oA Story of Washingtons Social Set '3 AN you ever forgive me, Marshall, for not trusting ‘ you?” Betsy said. “To loveis to trust, and I . . . I failediyou. I won't again. Not ever.” “gshh-h-h, angel. Forget it. It's & closed chapter in a banned book.” She smiled and leaned back against the seat, closing her eyes. Her lashes were long, incredibly long and black, and they caressed her cheeks. “Tired, sweets?” he asked solicit- ously. “No, just happy.” She ran her fingers through her loosened hair. It fell around her face in soft blondness. With her head on his shoulder she seemed very young and very helpless. Her loveliness went to Marshall’s crushed her in his arms, kissing her wildly—her mouth, her cheeks, the| shadowy hollow at the base of her throat. She murmured beneath his lips, “Oh, Marshall. Please! Please don't! Some one will see us . . . they'll see—" But the words were lost be- neath the fierceness of his emotion. burned out with ihe consuming flame of his passion. And then Betsy was| ®doing the very thing she had said that she would never do: She was being kissed on & public thoroughfare for| the whole world to see. And she didn't care. It was heaven! Marshall was hers again and nothing else mattered. Nothing! They had dinner at a tea house on | the Potomac, in the very shadow of Mount Vernon. Marshall was gay, too gay, she thought. As if he were read- 1ng the lines of a play that tomorrow would be forgotten. And then she re- membered her vivid imagination and laughed at herself for a silly little fool. She looked up at him and her eyes brimmed with love. Her heart gathered over that like the very dickens! We actually traded blows!” If ‘Marshall was a little quiet, even a little evasive, Betsr in her happiness did not notice. She sald, “Marshall, we can tell every one we are engaged now, can’t we?” He looked dazed. “Not yet, angel. 1 want to pay off a few debts. And I want you to make your debut. That'’s important. Besides, I can’t drop off from Libby too soon now that I have the position. It would look screwy. Not that there’s anything between us. It's just that I've got to carry on that pal stuff a little longer. You under- stand, don't you, sweets?” “Of course, Marshall. But I hate to wait. However, I'll try to swallow my impatience without choking!” She laughed. But she understood. It | year Marshall could soon liquidate any debts. As for Libyy, she's never be jealous of her again. needed time, too, in which to buy things—all the lovely, inexpensive things she had planned for her trous- seau. By the first of January then, she figured, they’d be ready to be married. She didn't say anything more. She just hugged herself, as it were, mentally, and listened to the gay song of her heart. “I told you I wrote Mrs. Lancaster asking her to give you a ring the first chance she got and to show you the social ropes, didn’t I?” Marshall asked, adding, “There are a lot of things you should know.” “Yes, there are,” Betsy said, evenly. “But do you know, Marshall, I...I don’t feel out of place or self-conscious with your crowd. I really don't. Maybe it's because I never craved a high place in society, never really yearned for beautiful clothes and all the things that money can buy—Ilike Never!

He was wonderfully handsome in that moment. Those even, almost classical features, the dark eyes bright with amusement. Looking at him Betsy felt her heart take on an extra beat. I'm wild about him, she thought, and it's . . . it's dangerous to care so much for any one. If ai should happen to Rim, if T should lose him—to another woman—in death. . . . She felt cold and dizzy just thinking about 1t. “Nut!” he sald. “Oaly a nut could be satisfled with such simple things from life. I want beautiful homes, cars, horses. I want servants and clothes and travel. I want to squeeze from this old world every bit of luxury that I can.” And though he was still laughing, a little voice in his conscience was whis- pering for the hundredth time that evening—“How are you going to tell her what you've done? How are you going to tell her what you've done?” “Quit that laughing at me, you fiend!” Betsy scolded, brightly. “And tell me all about Mrs. Lancaster. Is she pretty? Is she charming? Will I become so polished that I'll glisten like a statue of gold? Will she really make a new woman of me?” Betsy couldn't know that her bantering words had an edge of prophecy in them. That Mrs. Lancaster one day soon would have a small but terrible part in the most important decision of her life. “Well, to be specific, Mrs. Lancaster is as tall and slim and gaunt as a telephone pole. At least you get the idea, despite the foul simile. She has blue eyes and yellow hair tinged with gray. Her manners are as unscudied as & babe’s, At the same time she can arrange a facial expression guar- anteed to put the fear of God intc the most rampageous of social climbers. She was presented at the British court before Queen Victoria, and she mar- ried an Italian count in Nice. She slowly into an immense pride. Marshall | | had come from the most fashionable | | Thouses of Washington to hold her hand | beneath this table, to love her with his | | eyes over the flickering candle in the old Chianti bottle. i Fourteenth street was a blaze of lights, enormous crowds flocking across the intersections, a jagged line of people threading from the box office of & motion picture house down F street, where Barbara Stone’s name winked brilliantly above the doors. Her per- sonality was drawing thousands to this midnight performance. “Swell picture. Saw it this after- noon,” Marshall said. “Barbara €tone | has what it takes! They showed a | newsreel of Raoul's funeral in Del Guardia, too. Those South Americans certainly packed that two-fiisted drinker away with all the trimmings. Flags flying, women moping through the streets in gruesome black .and veils—" “Marshall! Please don't —" “Why?” He flung the word at her. “You sound so—so heartless, that’s all” She had a sudden feeling that John Storm would never make a re-| mark like that about anything so sacred. Though she didn't realize it, this was the first truly disloyal thought sbout Marshall that Betsy had ever had. She had been jealous, she had been wildly angry with him, but through it all she had loved him, had never secretly criticized him. And for the first time since John Storm had flown away to Boston she found her- self missing him, found herself real- izing that she had missed him since the very hour Terry told her he had left. “Does Raoul mean so much to you?” Marshall snapped. dryly, seemingly forgetting Raoul was dead. Betsy was afraid of his anger then « . . that cold steel anger, dry-ice, burning hot in his eyes. She said breathlessly, as if she hadn’t heard him: “Did you like Anthony Kane, Bar- bara’s new leading man?” Marshall sneered. “Take two pieces ©f bread and Anthony Kane and you'll have & swell ham sandwich. That's what I think of him. And they say she's going to marry that bird, too.” “Is she?” Betsy said, her heart giv- ing a little jump. “I didn't know. I haven't heard from Babs in about three weeks. Oh, Marshall, I'm so glad I'll be married before she is! ‘When we were kids we used to quarrel ALL SALMON @ "Columbia River Reyal Chinook™ is the world’s finest salmon; the best flavored, richer in natural oils, firmer, flakier flesh.

And the girls she brings out each year, mind you, don't get half-way but and have to crawl back.” They were both laughing like small children as they drew up in front of the little house in Georgetown. Betsy sald, “It's late, Marshall. You'd better not come in. Will I see you tomorrow?” “As surely as there is & tomorrow, blue eyes!” He swept her in his arms, kissed her briefly though none the less rapturously, and hurried away to his car. Betsy stood and dreamed after him until his roadster was out of sight. Her cheeks were flushed crimson and the star dust of happiness shone in her eyes as she stepped into the parlor. But in the next second her face drained white and her hand flew to her throat. 9 Muskrat is the hardiest and one of the most pop- ular furs of all times.
