FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1936. Golden Rain Hargaret CWiddemer SYNOPSIS: Iris Lanning, taken from the restricted life of an impe- cunious aristocrat in Persia, Pa., to the gilded life of her Aunt Phina ond brother Owen in New York, finds herself having a great time. ‘And a surprising one too. She has just learned that big, awkward Ca- milla Wendell is a poet ; in fact she de reading some of her work. Ca- milla, incidentally, has tried tact- fully to show Iris how empty much of her present life is—without the leaas auccess. Chapter 25 BODY BLOW RIS looked up, her eyes full of|s tears. “You do beautiful work,” she said. “Have you typed them and sent them out?” Her father had done a little verse, and some art criticisms; she knew the procedure. Aunt Ella had typed clear beautiful copies on a little typewriter she bought, and had made a card index for sending and resending. “Oh, I wouldn’t dare!” 0 “Yes, you would. That's silly. I'l! tell you just how to do it.” She began a matterof-fact de scription of Aunt “Ell Camilla stared at her, her dark face lighted with excitement; to the ex-| citement was added another expres It might be Morgan sion that had never been there be- | fore—hope. fust then Owen came in, whistl- ing; a tune Iris knew in even this short time meant a few minutes of Stolen heaven with Sigrid; it was a | Norwegian folksong, his unconscious | Sigrid-motiv. Camilla, poor girl, ¢orld not know, Iris saw her hands tremble, saw her turn eagerly, She was at her worst with Owen. He greeted her with that slow kindliness which he gave everyone and cast a look at his sister which meant “get rid of her.” 80 presently poor Camilla went, eager, hurt to the last moment. “Don't forget about the poetry,” Iris said. It seemed all the comfort she could give her. Camilla squeezed her band gratefully, and was gone. “Gosh!” said Owen, with a man’s hardness, dropping on a_ chair. “Thanks for getting her out. Iris. You're a swell girl.” He reached for @ cigaret. “Any designs | make for the Camel are well-earned money, believe it or not.” “Oh, Owen! She’s mad about you. And she is a real poet, I believe. She showed me some of her poetry.” UT he strode off to change for dinner. Iris realized it was time she dressed too. She knew well enough that a heart of gold inside poor Camilla’s nervous body had no chance against Sigrid’s beautiful little Northern face with its wheels of silvery hair. Learning a hard-fighting game of bridge was the thing Iris liked least. Phina was firm about it; she adored bridge herself, and besides, as ste pointed out, not being able to phy it well was as bad as having owdy clothes. The three of them, with Honora ‘ed in, as she often was, to make a ith, were playing a practice game one snowy January night. ‘00 stormy to go to the show,” Phina had decreed; “we'll work up your game a little.” They were sitting near the fire in zhe silver room, and Iris, a little drowsy with the fire and the drop- ping cards, wearied after a while. = lay a fair game if you took it her aunt said. “Wh fe an Black.” Her mind flew Morgan, teaching her the beginning of contract with Uncle Will.

He said Mr. Black would be coming over soon and he’d send them by him.” Iri’s heart leaped. To see Morgan —to talk to him again! “When?” “I don’t know. When his lady-love desires, 1 gather. It seems he’s de- cided to settle down in Persia for life with a girl named—was it Katie Oliver.” She hoped her face was too. |“Are you sure?” “Well, nothing’s sur jand income taxes; I've only Will's word of it,” Phina said carelessly “Make it a heart.” in a voice that showed nothing. Men were like that. If you told them | you didn’t love them they found an jother girl who did.

I couldn't.get away from the people 1 was dining with till just now.” She had been prepared for any Morgan but this sophisticated per- son with the light note of pleasant acquaintanceship in his voice. But after all—if Phina was right—this was the only Morgan she'd see from now on. “Not too late a bit.” She smiled. She did not know how sophisti- cated, how controlled she herself looked standing there slim and smart from her perfectly done waves to her red satin sandals. Demi-toilette for evenings at home was Phina’s rule; tonight Iris wore a close-clinging red crépe of deceptive simplicity; showing every beautiful line of her slim body.
