\ MONDAY, APRIL 20, 1936. a ‘Margaret CWiddeme SYNOPSIS: Iris Lanning has been caught up by her managing, wealthy and forceful Aunt Phina and taken to New York from her home in Persia, Pa. Iris has lived the life of an impoverished aristo- crat hitherto; now she is being in- troduced to the delights of New York. Her Aunt Phina ts America’s leading couturiére and wealthy be- sides ; her brother Owen designs for Phina; Owen's fiancée Sigrid is Phina’s business partner. For the moment Iris does not think much of her Aunt Ella and Uncle Wilt in Persia—even of Morgan Biack, who has told her that he loves her. Chapte; 21 NEW YORK REVEL ELLO, tris. Evening jackets ‘o match all gowns, sports suits: that’s right, is it not? But it Is as much as anyone's life is worth to make a chalk mark on you till Miss} Phina comes.” “Sure, Miss Sigrid,” said the pret ty yellow-curled doll who had con voyed Iris, becoming suddenly pert ly human, “I only brought her along for you to make the chalk marks. All 1 do’s walk them!” Both girls lau “Why is e hed. yone so afraid of Aunt Phina?” Iris asked when the girl, still giggling was gone. Sigrid had dismissed the other woman till Phina arrived. “Power of personalty, Sigrid shrugged. “Owen is afraid be- cause she has always had him under | her thumb.” “Sigrid, I'm on Owen's said. “I want you both to be happy Why won't you marry him unless he stops working here? I should think you'd like it.” “Because, well as he does it, he is ashamed of it: and because as long as he does it Phina will own him as she always has. And Phina will hold him througl what he thinks is grati tude and honor. And eventually he will marry somebody whose father was not a Swede carpenter. That is what Papa was. and darn good at his job, too, I tell you!” “Sigrid, you shan i talk so of my aunt! You don’t know what she’s been through. She doesn’t feel like that, she’s always worked herself.” “Girls, girls!” said Phina’s cool voice. She was evea laughing. “If either of you can abandon romance for a moment we'll get to work. Iris expected Sigrid tc he ashamed or surprised. She was neither. “What do you want fitted first?” Sigrid asked as quietly as if noth ing had happened, and Phina, also quietly, told her. “How can you go on being her Partner?” Iris asked when Phina had gone again. “Why not?” Sigrid asked; and Iris began to understand what Owen had said about wanting someone soft and human witi him. Sigrid had a Northern hardness. “Business is one thing, personal feeling another. Phina is one of the finest business women I know, and honest. She feels the same way about me.” She rang for the women, and the work began. FTER the fitting, which took all morning, ind luncheon with her aunt at the newest and biggest and most exciting hotel, she was sent home to lie down until time for the cocktail party. But she walked up Fifth Avenue instead. The shop win: dows were so exciting. Everything beautiful in the world, bronzes, oriental images, jewels, ex- quisite rugs and draperies; what might have been museum exhibits of beautiful shoes ha’ gloves, frocks, rare books—a clock tn a jew: | eler’s window finally sent her racing | home in a taxi. “I'm late, Honora, I've only time to dress,” whose special charge she was. She found herself being redresse: from the skin out, different shoes. stockings, everything: rayed in black velvet with a short) silver jacket under an afternoon coat she had not seen. “But is this right—are you sure?” she asked Honora. It seemed like a funny costume. “It’s what Madame said you were to wear,” the maid -ssured her. She crowned the work with a close} gave her} wrapped silver turban, fresh white gloves and sent her down to the waiting car, Dicky Ham ilton’s madly-shaped, madly-painted runabout. wen and Sigrid were al ready in the rumble, wherever he had found them. Dicky was rather nice, now that he was alone, and. oddly, a little sad. “You're the kind of girl makes men feel romantic.” he said. “Swearing allegiance, dropping on oue knee, all that sort of thing we tead about when we were kids, you} know? Where’d you think up your swell line?” His blue eyes looked so wistfully into hers that she could not be ang’ at his words. She laughed. “I'll have to cet a placard and wear it—‘I was br: a up),by romantic old-fash- foned people i» a country town on TODAY’S GAMES AMERICAN LEAGUE veland at Chicago—Hilde- ‘ni vs, Kennedy. &.

Gosh! Iris, from now on I'm turn into something else.” There was no visible hostess in the, big studio apartment “where Dicky led them. A red-sashed negro was playing a frenzied accordion to which fifteen or twenty girls and men were dancing. There were col- ored lantern-like lights hanging here and there. The story-and-a-half room was misted blue with cigaret smoke. Two painted life-size wooden Ren- aissance Madonnas brooded, lost, above the place. There were ! pes- tries on the dark panele. walls. It might have been a revel of Cosmo de’ Medici’s but for the ac- cordionist, and the tax, horns crying louder or softer, recurrently, below the enormous frosted windows draped in red damask fringed with gold. Georgia Blair danced past them, seem quiet by con- . She reached out unceremoni- for Owen. “Here, take the she ordered her ed the exchange swiftly and neatly Dicky saw a table under a w with cocktails and hors-d‘eeuvres. “Come along.” he said to Iris, and |dived through the dancers without waiting for her to follow.

An arm came round her waist; Allan Beckley was with her, swinging her in his long-stepped dancing. She felt his thinnes: his easr precision, smelt lilac water faintly and cigarets of a very good kind as he swung her down the room. The dance was so nearly done that jmer stopped directly before a fire- | side seat. Allan drew her down into | it. There were embers | which opened windows had kept from overheating the room. His light-blue eyes considered her as if he were looking at something very new, very interesting which had been given him for a plaything. But what he said was simple enough. “Like all this?” “I'm crazy over it. It’s living. And the way ‘t looks—the lights and spots of color. like a Matisse. Nature does imitate art even if Wilde had to say it.” He looked surprised you to talk to me about Matisse and Wilde, young Iris?” he said lightly, but still as if he wanted to know: ‘and as if anything he said, Iris thought indignantly, was all right. “Is there any reason why it is for- | bidden? Doesn't your mother let you refer to modern painters? You asked }me a question and | answered It. You're the second man who has act: ed as if ! said th effect.

Frankly, I don’t’ understand your attitude or Dicky’s. Or perhaps it’s because I | don’t belong in New York, and you're laughing at me.” He answered her directly, looking at her in a new way, almost as if she were a man. “Im not laughing at you. I am known to be interested in the things you referred to. Most girls try to talk to men of things of which they |themselves know nothing, to be, shall we say?—kind. As for Madame Phina, it wasn’t her profession [ meant. I have the highest respect for her; she is a female Napoleon, |1 have always heard. And if you }have forgiven my slip, please tell me about your background. I hate |New York myself.” Before she realized it she had, in ansWer.to a few swift questions, de Iris said in sur- came from.
