SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1936. Golden ain Aargaret CWiddemer SYNOPSIS: Iris Lanning has felt, ali the time she was leading the yay life of her Aunt Phina in her very, very modern New York G@partment that should she choose, ahe could always return to Persia, Pa, to Uncle Will and Aunt Ella— and Morgan Black. And now she Tearns that Morgan is to marry Kay Oliver, and a few minutes after the duformation comes to her, Morgan himself appears to bring her some music books she had left in Persia. They parted as very dear friends; they meet as sophisticated ac- Guaintances. Chanter 26 QUARREL Dy TAKE off your coat and sit down,” Iris smiled. “Tell me all about everything. Is Aunt Fila better? And how is Uncle Will's knee? And”—her mouth was sud- denly dry--“how is Kay Oliver?” He dropped his overcoat across one of the slim silver chair-arms; by sat easily down in another chair and lit a cigaret. “Uncle Will's knee is in very good shape; we're trying a sun-ray lamp for it, and it works wonders. Miss Ella is very busy and excited over her plans for your father’s perma- nent exhibit. She is really getting somewh2re with it—Persia feels ft had a celebrity and is codperating. “As for Kay, she seemed all right twenty minutes ago. A crowd of us ran over and took in a show; they're waiting for me now at Fifty-One. We're driving back tonight—rather @ brain-wave of somebody's, don’t you think?” He had said to her that he loved her; that he would wait for her. He hadn't waited. It was her own fault. “Then the news Uncle Will passed on about Kay—was true?” she asked through lips that she hoped would not cuiver to betray her. “News about Kay? Oh—” Morgan laughed. “Oh, yes. True enough.” “She'li be a very lucky girl,” Iris sald quietly. And then, before he could reply—she could not stand any raptures about Kay, she who had had her chance and tossed it away because she was a little fool: the way, Morgan, your tragic warn- ings about the little country girl adrift in a great city haven't come true. I'm having a swell and grand and smooth time.” Morgan's face darkened; ft was almost the old Morgan who laid down the law tc young shabby Iris of the old Lanning house. “Tell me some of your friends.” “Dicky Hamilton, Georgia Blair, Jimmy Wills, Natica Schuyler, Allan Beckley, Lorimer Browne.” She was a@ little proud of them. His face set; it flushed for a mo- ment, and then turned white; he spoke more sharply than he ever had to her; and yet she could not help feeling that back of it was still some of the affection he had had for her. “You're crazy. You'll get into trouble. 1 suppose, the way you were Lrought up, you're trusting them all to the bone; you think they've taken you up from romantic and emotional motives; .hat Georgia Blair and Allan Beckley are unselfish, trust- worthy people like yourself. They aren't.” “How do you know? Did you know them? Or have you simply been read- ing the snappler society columns?” She threw back her lovely young head and stared at him. ever mind, Iris, ‘you're not able for them,’ as Molly Williams would say. You can't play their game with uhem on equal terms.” “Country Blossom Wilted by | Bright Lights of Broadway?” she mocked him. “Only it’s Park Av tue. Sorry you think so ill of me “It's because I think well of you! Well, never mind. There are the books—I told Kay I'd be back in a} half hour.” ‘HE mention of Kay stiffened her still more, “1 suppose you came over to warn me.” “I did, partly. And to say that they want you back, and that—” “It isn’t for you to say. I was their niece before they ever saw you. Sor- ry. Morgan: go back to Kay and give her my love. £ wish you both luck. Kay’s a better girl than I was, Gunga Din.” “Kay mayn’t be brilliant and tal- ented, but you know where to find her,” Morgan answered. They were well embarked on one of their old- fashioned quarrels, withon. the hon: est brother-and-sister quality to make it stingless. “After all, that’s what you want most in people. Good- by.” He had rung for the elevator while they stood there—he was in it, was gone. Iris threw herseli down, holding the old music books tight. sobbing, now nobody was there to see. He was gone. She had lost him. She'd and the life she wanted. She couldn’t. It was over. Honora’s respectful, kind touch on her quivering shoulder made her sit up. “Pardon me, Miss Iris—they came while you were talking with the gen tleman.” She dried her eyes. Against the transparent violet and silvery wrappings lay a sheaf of her name-flower, months ahead of their time. Purple iris, white iris, yellow, nauve. And Allan Beckley’s card in the yellow envelope: “Just heard that you had returned, on my own arrival. Can't we have that dinner after all? What about a week from ‘onight?” “Mr. Beckley, is it?” said Honora, “You're a lucky girl. Miss Iris, they’re all mad for him—” “Yes. I'm lucky,” said Iris slowly. “All right, Honora. Tell Aunt Phina about it, she'll be pleased.” She unwrapped the music books with a firm hand. Or them lay a let- ter from her uncle. Towards the end there was something about Morgan. “Se tells me he intends settling here now for good. He is practically my partner, and is building up the practice in the most amazing way.” Well, it was true Staying there, marrying Kay, a pillar of Persia’s society. It wa: all her own doing. If she had only known how much she cared. ... Honora it was, fortunately, who had come back and found her sob- ting. The kind hand was on her shoulder. and the pleasant Irish voice said, “And what is it, acushla?” “Nothing anybody can help, Hono- Iris said, puiling herself to- getLer and drying her eyes. “Some- thing that’s my own fault.” “Taere’s nothing God and the zears don’t help, my dear.” Honora said gently. “And if it’s your own fault and you can’t undo it, why, tell God so and go on with the rest of things.” Iris powdered her face and smiled again, gallantly, and stood up “Thanks a lot, Honora,” she said. She had done it all herself. Now she must go on. And part of it was te be as happy as she could. The next week was so full that it gave her very little time to think. Phina insisted on her practicing the old songs; tried on the dresses from fashion plates of the seventies; and finally came home one day with one of her pretty errand girls behind her bearing a box which she handed to Iris with a handful of sheet mu- sic. “Those songs are all very well, but you want to hive something else, in case they don’t like those. Here are some of Helen Morgan's. You’re something the type; see what you can do with them. Would you like me to get you somebody to help you with the phrasing and so forth?” T WAS not an apartment they stcpped at. It was a house, in- credibly, downtown, not up, and set, nestled in a sort of alley, in the For ties, on land which must have been worth several millions; it still had a lawn about it, and a high wall to keep off, presumably, sounds and ideas of the impinging commercial New York. An entirely unpreten- tious old-iashioned brownstone front. They went up its steps, into the narrow old-fashioned entry, up the stairs, into the front parlor after a m: had vanished with Honora. They were the first guests. Allan, with a tall old lady on his arm, en- tered to welcome them, just as Iris said in her clear voice, “But it’s ex- actly like the sort of thing people Lave in Persia!” Allan, with his easy air of tired lordship, made the introductions. “‘Theee are Iris and Owen Lanning. My grandmother, Mrs. Morgan.” “What were you saying about this piace being Persian?” the old lady c -manded, beckoning Iris near her, while Allan, signaling for the cock- tails and hors d'oeuvres, turned to greet Sigrid, whose taxi had fol lowed closely “I've always lived ina place called Persia, a little old town south of Philadelphia,” Iris said, dropping in her white taffeta on a tabouret beside the old lady. “And it’s full of old houses, of course, and people who haven't moved for two hun- dred years, and furniture and a feel- ing like this.” Mrs. Morgan eyed her sharply. Such old ladies always did. “I've always taken it for granted that Madame Phina was first-genera- tion immigrant stock,” she said with bluntness. “Like the girl with the tleached hair over there. Or aren’t you actually ter niece?” Iris laughed, and Mrs. Morgan seemed surprised. Weren't most peo- ple at ease with her, Iris wondered?

They won the next two contests, Cates singled safely twice in the first game and han- dled eight chanees without an er- ror. In the second contest, connected for a single and a j{double, and secured three safe- ‘ties in the third and fourth games, fone good for a double. So far he last year, and it will not surprise the writer should Cates take charge of the team before the Fourth of July. Mickey Ubieta, at Hollywood, Fla., is playing with the state |echampion diamondball club. They have defeated the world’s cham- pions from Toledo, 0., straight games, and took the Stew- art nine into vamp. Ludy Acosta is up there also and probably may make the team.
