FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1936. | Golden Aargaret CWiddemer SYNOPSIS: Iris Lanning fust has found brother Owen and her Aunt Josephine both of whom had been kept out of her life by the Aunt Ella with whom she lives. Aunt Josephine turns out to be a famous couturiére which excites Iris because she never has had proper clothes in her life. The money that should have been spent on her had always gone to her fa- ther supposedly a genius But Owen tells Iris that their tather's paintings really are mediocre ; that the sacrifice has been a vain one, Chapter 13 CLOTHES! RIS seemed to herself the only one who knew the difference. Aunt Ella sat in her usual dream; Uncle William of cours< had a tray, ate with relish and praised the food; Morgan was a little quieter than usual. So was Iris; she was inclined to think he had interfered. Anyway. he saw things so queerly; he acted as if Owen were trying to steal her. Uncle William, with an invalid’s tn terest in everything, had to hear all about the visit, so they had to seem, at least, to have made up. “He's a splendid boy,” he said to Morgan proudly. Morgan praised Owen politely and switched the conversation to the day's routine at the courthouse, and Iris was wickedly amused. For three hours, Aunt Phina bought things. “Ask Josie if she won't come see me tomorrow,” said Uncle Will when they rose to leave him. “Tell her how it is that I can’t call on her. Don't you think she's a remarkable woman, your Aunt Josephine?” “Yes, | do,” Iris answered, lifting a mischevious shoulder at Morgan. Uncle William was wonderful. From somewhere, in that life of his which had so little outward semblance of happiness and success, he had be- come possessed of a fund of inner happiness and serenity which made living a pleasure to him. But Iris shrank away from such a serenity the while its aura pleased her. When she was fifty, perhaps— but not now! Not now, with the whole exciting world holding out unexpected handsful of presents! They went out together. She won- dered if Morgan would scold. After all, he had done it all. She felt un. grateful. But he only gripped her hand so tight it hurt, and said, “Iris, Iris, promise me—” “What?” “Nothing, stand.” And he flung awa: She didn’t understand. Morgan had been so odd since Owen and Phina had come, in spite of having found them for her. | Dou’ next day Owen rushed in quite in another mood, gay and excited “Phina’s outside, champing the bit to take you in to Philadelphia shop- you wouldn't under- there are things to do—” Iris began, but he wouid hear noth- ing of all that. “One doesn’t keep Phina waiting,” he said with a grin. “She's like time and tide and taxes—she waits for no man. I'm st: gs here a little while to read my mail”—he waved a letter—“and visit with Uncle Wil liam and the ancestral mansion. Run along before young Mr. Blue beard scolds you and locks you up in a cell.” Owen was younger this morning, gayer. It must have been a very nice letter — probably from Sigrid. He too! er out, just as she was except et and coat, to where Phina ss stood waiting. Heavens, child,” she greeted her, | “you have charm, as well as a good | figure and face. I can make any-| thing out of you.” | ain From _Phina Weatherley this was praise indeed! | “Oh, will you?” said Iris, glowing. “I will indeed. The moment we get off the train. Let me see. Hair first,” said the great couturiere who mirac- ulously was her aunt, eyeing her as if she were a bolt of unmade goods; “then the right shoes and stockings. ; Then we can handle the rest.” For three delicious hours, dating from the moment they jeft the Broad Street Station, Iris was led trom hairdresser to corsetiere, from lin- gerie shop to gown shop, under the hands of a mistress of her trade. | She became frightened presently at the amount of things Aunt Phina was buying and said so. “No. But this will carry you for | the moment. I'll finish from my own stock and connections,” said her aunt, “in New York.” 1G peters was meeting them at the Bellevue-Stratford for luncheon. Iris saw herself in one of the long { mirrors entering by her aunt's side; she would not have known herself except for the reflection of Phina beside her. From her smart odd hat | with its curving brim and small | feather, to the simple exquisite | | shoes, she was correct. A heavenly feeling of self-respect and courage swept over her. The iz [N ! | | i | | | thin dull-red belted wool suit with its broad pique collar and cuffs, the | smart rough-textured gloves that matched her shoes and hand-bag— her own delighted, excited face, with a faint extra touch of rouge and lip- | stick, her eyebrows plucked and | arched above her black-pupiled large | gray eyes, her hair showing just enough in short tiered ringlets across the back of her hat — Iris stared with open delight. Owen stood up at the table where | he was waiting. “Don't you like me?” Iris de manded rapturously. “Don't I look | like other people?” j “Almost,” said Owen, regarding | her with pride and affection. “Where | Phina’s showed her genius is in keeping you not quite.” “Iris bas an air of glamour, thank | goodness,” her aunt said compla- cently. “It's coming in.” Iris, intent on the menu, scarcely heard. She asked, like a child, #; } she might have anything she want- 4 ed, then went ahead with a chiles, ty pleasure. Chicken salad because she liked | it. Coupe Jacques because she want- | ed to find out what it would turn’ }' out to be. They smiled at her un- ashamed pleasure. if Phina was lunching prudently on a clam juice cocktail and raw sliced tomatoes. Owen had a chop and baked potato—“Just what he could get anywhere!” Iris marveled at their wasted opportunities. They talked of one thing and an- other till Iris’s Coupe Jacques was | reached, and Phina had finished with her tomatoes. Then Phina | spoke with an air of decision. “lL have a proposal to make to you dear. I want you to come and live with your brother and me. Your mother left you with me. Now that your father is no longer living, it is the logical thing to do.” “I want you,” Owen said earnest- “You're my sister.” .
