WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1936. Golden ain Margaret ©Widdemer BINUrsIs: Ins Lanning undure ens herself to a strange young man ‘who asks her where Grandin Lane 4s. She thinks she will never see him again—but when she gets home she finds that her Aunt Ella has taken im for a boarder, to bolster up the exhausted Lanning exchequer. Iris resents her indiscretion, resents having a stranger in the house— even resents the fact that she and all others within her aunt’s reach were sacrificed to her painter re ed Late tod ered ved.'She is showing Morgaw father’s studio. Chapter Five “GENIUS” ESAS are my father’s pictures,” is said. She stood aside with ptide. “He was a genius. Aunt Ella plans to endow a room in the town museum, a permanent exhibit of them.” “Then will you have the room to give parties in?” He wanted to hear what she would say. “Oh, no!” She looked up at him, surprised. “It will be kept just this way, always.” “It's very handsome.” There wasn’t much else he could say. The boughs he had carried stood about the fireplace. A couple of freshly - upholstered deep - padded carded one of her late father’s, and sat down with a battered black tin watercolor box and a pile of place cards. - “You mustn’t think you have to sit down here if you don’t want to,” said William with a kindliness so father- | ly that Morgan warmed to him more than ever. “Rooms enough in this old house if you want a separate sit- ting room. I suppose you're looking up genealogy; that’s what people usually come here for. It has the best library in the state. Glad to help you if you like; I do it myself in my spare time.” He pushed a paper over. Morgan accepted the loophole. “Some of my mother’s people came from around here,” he said—truth- fully, as it happened. He glanced at the paper, and added a word or so which made Uncle William say, “Lawyer, aren’t you?” “Not practicing,” Morgan an- swered, amused at the old man’s un- expected acuteness. “The curse of enough to live on.” Miss Ella gave him one of her darting, all-seeing looks. Iris paint- ed steadily on. A little silence fell, which Morgan broke by leaning across and looked at Iris’s work, saying, “Why, those are too good for You could do minia- SPORTS THE KEY WEST CITIZEN BY JOVE s) ‘PARKERS WON SOCIAL LEAGUE | CHAMPIONSHIP!

A decanter stood on one end of the mantel, balanced by an unusual- ly perfect, bright-colored Tanagra girl at the other. The walls had been tacked over with brown burlap to make a background for the pic- tures. Morgan knew something about pictures. He moved from painting to painting, Iris standing still by the clean, empty hearth. Some of them were, like the painting in the dining room, family portraits; a powdered Stuart gentleman and lady; a tur- baned young person in green satin and a curly bob of Jefferson’s day; finally a parent-and-child group of the nineties, with Sargent’s signa- ture unmistakable in the corner. “You could sell these for a lot,” he said. “But they’re family portraits,” said Iris with an air of complete ex- planation. It had never occurred to her, it was plain. If her eyes lighted, he did not know it. He went on look- ing at the others—the paintings of her father, the “genius.” \ ereade litera: dandscapes with knee-deep customary cows. Large flat-looking somber ladies conveying an air of painstaking plainness which unquestionably supposed itself rea m. All the worst faults of a long: it fashion; as bad, now, as triviality and un- fashionableness could make them. And the poor kid, all alive and wild, was sacrificed to this! Before Morgan knew it, he heard himself saying—himself, who had never ex- pected to feel pity for a girl again, “It’s a damn shame!” Iris misunderstood him. nt Ella says sometimes people never are appreciated till they’ been dead fifty years she said Now shall we go back to the dining room? We sit there.” The dining table had been hidden under an old brown and rose chenille cover. William Lanning’s deep- lined long kindly face lifted its steel spectacles from a pile of books and papers. Miss Ella was sitting at the other end, darning with nervous effi- cient jerks. Morgan dropped into a chair between them. Iris invested herself matter-of-factly with a long smock, by its paint splashes a dis- “These sell,” she said, smiling. “It’s after eleven,” said Miss Ella; and the other two rose obediently. “Books if you want ’em,” said Mr, Lanning. “The library’s on the sec- ond floor.” UT Morgan was tired, too. Miss Ella took charge again, showing him to a high-ceiled bedroom, fur- nished like the rest of the house in a combination of magnificent old and bad new furniture, but posses- sing a large double bed of un- doubted softness, also a reading light and an ashtray by the bed. The late Lawrence had trained his women folk well. He slept soon, thinking not about himself, as had been miserably the case too long, but of these people. Kind friendly old Lanning; little nervous efficient Miss Ella; Iris, with her beauty and old-fashioned obedience, and her wakening rebel- lion. Imagine any girl having to rebel in these days! ... He went off to sleep with more of a sense of home about him than he had had | since his mother’s death long ago. He came down at what seemed to | him an early hour next day, feeling freed and rested. No ties, no re sponsibilities or anything of the sort “Where's Mr. William?” he asked, | looking round instinctively for the ne careworn old figure he had taken such a fancy to. “Gone to the courthouse,” Miss Ella said. “We three breakfast at seven-tWirty, one gets through so {much more that way; but my brother Lawrence used to have a tray when | he rang. Iris thought you might like that better.” He wouldn’t humor Iris! “I get up at seven-thirty—no, I |mean seven—after this,” he heard himself announcing with more zest jthan he had given anything for some time. “See here, Miss Ella, I'm going to be one of the family, not a nuisance. Going to be on the footing of a nephew or second cousin or something.” Swift feet clattered down the front stairs: a clear charming voice was singing with the abandon and verve of a night-club hostess: (Copyright, 1933-36, Margaret Widdemer), I want my cigarette mild, of course—I hardly think anybody enjoys a strong cigarette. But de- liver me from the flat, insipid kind. I find a great deal of pleasure in Chesterfields. They're mild and yet they seem to have more taste Morgan and Iris begin a friendly warfare, tomorrow.
