TUESDAY, MARCH 81, 1936. olden ain by Margaret CWiddemer BYNOPSIS: Iris Lanning ts ‘ashamed that she unburdened her- self to the strange young man who asked his way from her. She has told him that she is a little tired of being a poverty-stricken aristocrat, and also a living sacrifice to the memory of her genius father—who got all the good things the impover- ished Lannings could provide, until he died, For when Iris reached home she found that her Aunt Ella had taken Morgan Black as a boarder, and Morgan Black is the strange young man! Chapter Four FIRST MEAL js flung herself across the honey- comb counterpane, sick with ashamedness. All her gayety and bravery were gone. To tell things to a man who would be living in the house! “The one thing I have!” she half sobbed. “Privacy!” There wasn’t much of that even | at the moment. Aunt Ella clicked the door open. “Supper’s ready, darling,” she said. Iris sat up and brushed her hair. “Aunt Ella, what made you take a boarder?” Miss Lanning looked surprised. “Why, darling! It will more than pay for the table.” “I'd rather not have a thing to eat | than somebody round the house all day!” “You're wrong, my dear,” said | Miss Ella mildly—ber invariable re- | ply to Iris’s prote: Miss Ella was small and thin, with untidi and intensely-bright restless dark eyes. She was dressed in a neat un- fashionable dark wool dress with a | white apron to keep it clean. i As she stood, her eyes and hands | moved, restless; but spiritually she was immovable. The god on her al- | tar, to whom she sacrificed herself, and everybody within reach, daily | and hourly, had been her brother Lawrence, Iris's handsome gentle oblivious father. When you have lived under such a regime all your life you accept it. But Iris was be yond herself tonight. “Supposing I am young,” she cried, still with fire, “what has that | to do with a boarder’s being a nuisance?” “When you're older,” said Aunt Ella, still with kindness, “you'll find that one does what one must, not what one wishes.” “You're taking away the last thing that made life worth living!” Iris sat erect in the middle vf the mended counterpane. “TRIS, what possesses you? Would you take the money from your father’s memorial for your selfish pleasures? Don’t you know that en- dowing one room in the town mu- seum for his permanent exhibit will take all we can save for two years? I'm hurt and astonished at your self- ishness,” said Aunt Ella. Then she patted Iris’s shoulder. “If there’s anything in my closet you can use to make over for Kath- erine’s tea, dear, you must take it.” Then she heard some domestic noise and scugried away. Iris lay still. Aunt Ella’s attitude did not seem strange to her; she had always lived with it. Presently she rose and dressed. There wasn’t much she could do; she put on an old red frock, nearly as short and shabby as the other, but setting off her vividness of ivory and dusk and rose more sharply than she knew. She went reluctantly down to the dining room. Her uncle and Morgan were there before her. The dining room had been a state- ly place; the moth-eaten deer heads, the enormous engravings, the thick faded carpet, an Empire museum piees of a sideboard, all said that. So did the fish and game pictures of a @eparted day, brightly dead in their oval frames, and the portrait of@B-unmistakable arrogant Lan- ning in the robes of a Supreme Court judge of Madison’s day. ‘The price of that picture, Morgan mused (for he cAme of sound com- mercial stock on one side), would certainly run to new carpets and wallpaper for the whole house, not to speak of new clothes for the poor kid. Well, everybody to their taste. He hoped the food would be good. T was. Iris waited on the table, altering provocatively from a flushed silence to flashes of gayety. Morgan was a little annoyed—girls, even here! And her occasional looks mace him think she wasn’t much more pleased than he. But the table-talk was delightful. Miss Ella and her brother and niece had apparently bought all possible books that a small income allowed, and got everything else from the li- brary; Miss Ella was genuinely musical and artistic; Mr. Lanning SHUN SHELTER OF (My Asnociated Prews) STOCKHOLM, March Ethiopians on the southern stay war front are refusing to in emblems, being convinced that Such places e especially ex- posed to Italian bombs, according to a report received here from Dr. Hylander, head of a Swedish!

Iris flashed in and ou. of the talk “like a highly educated firefly,” Morgan told himself. Talk of De Quincey, of Peacock, of the hidden history of Mary Queen of Scots, of back-country folkiore, of states- men’s plans and literary move ments, went lightly round the table. It was not pedantic, it was salted with small jests, light allusions. It was Morgan's first discovery that such scholarly talk could be gay. Uncle William swept him off en- joyably for further taik at the meal’s end. Iris piled plates on a tray and caried them to the pile on the wooden drainboard of the old iron sink. Iris went reluctantly down to the dining room. “Lhate strangers round at meals,” she said crossly, getting her apron from behind the door. “Are you chilly, dear?” said her aunt solicitously, from where she knelt putting away food in the high yellow wooden icebox. “Or are you still upset about Katherine Oliver's tea? Why, when her people were blacksmiths the Lannings were en- tertaining Washington's staff. She ought to be glad to have you come in a waterproof!” “Raincoat. And nobody remem- bers those things now. I wish I had some of the money they spent on General Washington!” “Darling, you aren't yourself. Now wash your bands and put glycerine on them, and go in and help Uncle William entertain Mr. Black. Show him your father’s studio.” She went obediently. And she found to her dismay that Morgan Black was for some reason just pass- ing the kitchen door. Uncle William must have been showing him the back garden, brave with tulips and hyacinths. Oh, by what evil chance was he always to overhear her pri- vate affairs? Nevertheless, she came out, and said, stiffly but politely, “My aunt says she would like me to show you my father’s studio.” Morgan assented with more than conventional politeness. He was eager to see the possessions of the dead man whose shadow brooded over this house. He followed the alert young figure in the worn red cash- mere into a room which had been, obviously, the long salon parlor.
