Allaire has lived very speedily, although with fewer deviations from the propri- eties than either her father or mother. But in :he tropics Allaire has met briefly Terry Willett, and she never has been the same carefree girl since. Terry is a young engineer, and although Allaire does not know it, Terry is at the mo- ment in the Btates. The girl is look- ing over the West estate. Chapter 17. CONVERSATION PIECE LLAIRE’S father and mother hadn’t cared a farthing for tradition or memory. They’d pur- chased the estate as a happy com- promise between her mother’s love of Washington society and her father’s reverence for Kentucky as & more suitable location for his rac- ing stable. And they’d done their best to re model it into a showplace—long Sweeping wings to accommodate More guests added to the original mansion, destroying its simplicity and solidarity; the old driveway winding its leisurely course through thick-growing evergreens changed at great cost of money and trees into a gleaming paved double drive; the picturesque coachhouse de- tmolished to make room for an @ight-car garage. They would have to_pfck that one spot. But even at that they'd failed to wreck the atmosphere of the old place entirely. They had failed in other ways too—for her mother had Jong since retired to her home in Washington where from behind the hulwarks of her own social circle and private income she made soph- isticated nose-thumbing gestures at her husband, except when something with social and displomatic lure like that polo trip brought them to- gether again. And Allaire’s tall slim father, his best polo days over, had settled down here either to break his neck in_a fox hunt some day or else drink himself to death, either of which he would probably do very gracefully. It was sunrise alone that gave Westlands any dignity. In the distance through a grove of trees she could see the red roofs of the stables—smart modern build- ings surrounded by a covered tan- bark track aud adjacent to a pri- vate three-quarters of a mile exer- ‘ else course. A couple of her father’s brood Mares were running up and down near a white fence. Be too bad if he ever bred a Derby-winner—he wouldn't have anything in life to live for. the car into motion. She flashed in through the gates, sped up that long cement drive, and stopped under the Portico. Homecoming! It hadn't been home to her for years. The drive was full of cars so she knew some sort of a party was on, but the great house was quict as 8he entered. Everybody seemed to have retired, although Ray was usually a night owl. But no, there were still some stragglers clinging to the ghost of the evening. Allaire paused on the threshold of the living room. A man was asleep on a divan with his hands folded across his chest. A girl in green evening gown had evidently just awakened. She was walking around uncertainly. Allaire had never seen her before in her life. Her father’s policy of per- petual open house brought many strangers in with the tide. “What are you looking for?” she asked politely. “The door, I think,” said the girl in green. “Party seems to be over. Look at me walking around like a perfect sap.” She giggled. Atars obligingly guided her to} the staircase. Si | you are,” she sald. “Good | duck and good morning.” “I'll take the luck and you can have the morning.” said the girl. Allaire went back to the living room and pulled a bell cord. Blythe, the butler, appeared, stifling a yawn as he saw who had summoned him. She gestured at the recum- bent form on the divan. “Please put him to bed,” she re quested. “And then go to bed your- self. The party,” she added, “seems to be over.” Blythe and nis unconscious charge having woozily disappeared, | the room. . She'd always liked this room. It} was wide and hizh-ceilinged and had a huge stone fireplace. There were pictures of famous racehorses on the walls, and trophy cases of silver loving cups, blue ribbons, and other mementos of horse shows and steeplechases. She'd won a jot of them herself. But the spirit of the room was : jaded with trays of empty and halt- filled highball glasses, bottles, silver pails of melting ice, and ash trays crammed with cigaret butts—many of them rouged. Their odor combined to defeat ef- fectively the fresh clean scent of gardens and lawns trying to get through the terrace doors. As she stood there her father came in from the taproom. He had a woman on his arm—a slim woman with very pale face, eyelids painted golden, and an evening gown not in the best of taste. Allaire recognized her. She was a famous movie actress. Or she had been once. “My God” exclaimed her father. “Where did you come from?” “Drove from Washington,” she re- turned. “Hello, Tala.” “Hello, Allaire darling,” pale woman. Ray was just beginning to re- cover from his surprise. “I baven’t seen her for weeks,” he told Tala. “Fact. And now she shows up all of a suden.” “1 want a room and bath,” said Allaire politely. “Southern exposure and American plan. And do you al- low children?” “I think,” said Tala lazily, “I'll go to bed. I don’t feel good for a thing.” “Goodness,” commented Allaire, “is as a morning cloud and as the early dew—it goeth away.” “Put me down as early dew,” said Tala wearily. She left the room and Allaire looked at her father, dark eyes ironic. “Still paying tuition for night school, Ray?” H® sat down without answering. He looked tired, but he was still handsome, thick iron-grey hair, slate-blue eyes in a tanned face, and athletic figure. He'd never be fat and he would always have the gift of wearing his clothes with distine- tion. “What have you been doing late he asked. The usual thing,” said Allaire. “Theatre parties dinner dances, a few night clubs, and a lot of small talk. Got sick of it and went to Washington to see Nell.” She shrugged. “Got sick of that too.” Ray chuckled. “Pretty terrible, isn’t it? Who's Nell got on her string now? Some polished young under-secretary from the Bolivian Legation with white spats and penciled mus- tache?” He laughed again. “Lord, what a bunch of Don Quixotes hang around her. She fills their skins with sherry and they all go looking for wind- mills. Don’t blame you for leaving.” “Ray,” she returred, “it’s no bet- ter here and don’t you forget it.” “You always were inclined to be snooty.” Her father picked up the brandy decanter. “You're the proud- est person on this green earth.” The girl in white polo coat gave an impression of a young Diana with burnished hair and a quick lithe strength. She blended in with the world of grace and rhythmic beauty represented in those gleam- ing tall silver cups and the pictures of clean-limbed racing perfection. And Rayburne West, with the early morning sun streaming on his evening clothes and the smell of brandy and that pale woman’s per- fume about him, seemed a natural completion to the canvas of bottles, glasses, melting ice, and ash trays. He seemed to sense that in her cool level glance, for he suddenly set his glass down and looked at her with some irritation. “What's come over you?” he de manded. “You use» to ride all day, dance all night, and pipe every man to mast for miles around. Don’t try to kid me, Allaire,” he requested. “You can’t put your hair in pigtails and make a bee-line for the nearest convent all of a sudden. You've raised plenty of hell in your time.” “I know.” She inclined her head. “Although | hope my particular brand was never in bad taste. But I've suddenly realized what I used only to suspect—the best years of my life are going by, wasted in silly inane motions that have no significance whatever.” She absently twined a finger in said the a small tendril of blonde hair at | her forehead. “I want to feel worth while.” she said quietly. “Does that sound like Chinese?” “No,” he said. “I understand per- fectly. You'd like to be the pioneer woman traveling with her mate in &@ covered wagon shooting at In- dians with one hand and holding her baby in the other. Very admir- ale, my dear. Every bored woman feels like that once in a while. Too bad there aren’t any more covered wagons.” Copyright, 1935, by David Garthy Allaire, tomorrow, makes ane other sudden decision.

Those boys who were on deck yesterday had a lot of fun, that is if they were on the side. Take for instance the two happy electric boys named Charlie Salas and Louis Cruickshank. They were going along so good (except when dodging a wildly hit balls coming up from the rear) and the boys on the losing end of the score looked and acted like Cookie’ Mesa and Otto Kirehheiner,.. If seems the match ended,4,up for,.Charlie and Louis ‘but: the;meédal’.scores are; not mentioned because the losing boys had a nice bit of fun tear-| ing up their seore card. But even that did not make them win. | Today both are smiling and all because they know that next week will be another try. Mr, Swinky Swanky Harris had more fun than a barrel of mon- keys yesterday afternoon. Mostly because he had Old Bye along but mostly because he felt in a “jok- ety” mood. Mr. Bill Bruner spent most of the time keeping Mr. Duke of Rock Sound Sands on the ground and not flying around in the nether regions when he took that hole from his boss.

Pious William and Timotheus Pittman are a great pair when together or taken separately. But yesterday they could not take Bill Malone and pal Samuella in- to camp altho they made a couple of good tries. It seems that Wil- lie was having a little trouble with those 40-yard shots.
