olden SYNOPSIS: Iris Lanning ts at- tending her first New York cocktail party, and perhaps because it is her iret, sho is enjoying it immensely. She has been snatched from her amall_town environment by her Aunt Phina, the famous couturiére, and her brother Owen, who designs for Phina. Now she is talking with Allan Beckley, who is piqued by Iris’ “differentness,” and is draw= ing her out to tell ker whole story. Irla talks eagerly, and well. Chapter 22 CAMILLA AGAIN “T only wanted what the other gf had,” Iris ended simply: “money for movies and nice elothes like the others, and to give back lit- tle parties for their little partie: And sometimes to give Uncle Will TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1936. Rain by Margaret C Widde: darling. Georgia threw his cousin Jimmy last year when Jimmy's dad got into the tabloids as a malefactor of great wealth, and then finished himself and some of the wealth. “But she seems to have a taste for the family—and who wouldn't, I ask you?

Like this sort of thing better?” His voice was piqued, and yet a little relieved. “1 do love it!” she answered joy- ously. “1 hope lots of people ask me to lots more parties and I have ones like this myself.” He glanced around them. The ac cordion was playing jauntily with loud exaggerated rhythms. The dancers in their reds and blacks and tinsels swung and moved and sang the whining exciting silly words to the negro’s tunes. “1 don’t.” he said wearily. “Then why do you com you, I'd love to,” to places .” he said, “I come of a race that’s run out; too tired, too devitalized. 1 happen still to have a sufficiently good brain to realize that.
