olden Gol SYNOPSIS: Iris Lanning has changed the quiet but charming life she has led in old Persia, Pa., for the giddy whirl of her ‘Aunt Phina’s New York. She likes the nonsense; now, much to her sur- prise, she finds herself in the house of old Mrs. Morgan, representativs of old New York. This house and its owner are much like the Persia houses — except Allan Beckley, Mrs. Morgan’s grandson. Allan is showing Iris his Matisse collec- tion; Iris-just has enchanted the dinner guests with her singing. Chapter 30 SITUATION FEELING of being something he might collect along with Matisses and lion heads came over Iris for the moment, and then she felt she was being the little girl from the country again. She rose and began looking at the pictures, commenting on them. She was on safe ground here. “You know an astonishing amount abcut art,” he said. “Do you like the zoo?” For a moment she was going to be courteous, then she told the truth. “Honestly, I don’t. They're too much like putting traitors’ heads on London Bridge, as they did in the old novels!” He liked it; he laughed. They were on the low furry couch again. He put a casual arm abcut her. “Do you know,” he said, “why the room went silent when granny spoke of the benefit for the Anna Lispenard Home? It’s the accolade.” Iris nodded. She didn’t especially ; like his arm around her but she supposed there was no point to be ing Victorian. “I’m quite crazy about you,” his soft voice said suddenly; his mouth pressed her bare shoul- far. “Be crazy about me too.” it was done lightly, his lips were hot on her flesh. Before she could move or speak, she felt something else flung about her shoulders. “Don’t move,” he said, pressing her gently back against the pillows, and rising for a moment to adjust a mirror. “I want you to have this to remember your first evening in my Bouse by.” Over her shoulders he had thrown a beautiful wide long fur, gray with black .rosetted markings. He held },, her fast, the arm that had thrown the fur over her shoulders still around her, their faces pressed to- gether, as the mirror made the pic- ture of his smooth light head, his smiling face, against her dark hair and startled flushed face. He had pushed her into a’ half- lying position on the couch, and half knelt, half sat, close to her. She tried to-move from him, but he kissed her again. “Crazy over you,” he said once more. As she sprang up, scarlet, pushing the fur away, Georgia’s clicking footsteps, her sparkling red frock, her bright an- gry eyes, seemed to fill the room. “I thought you promised me that fur,” she said with the complete lack of courtesy which was one of her weapons. “A fur,” said Allan, moved, “not that fur.’ “You shoot a snow-leopard once n an age, you told me so!” Iris had pulled it off her shoulders to hand it proudly to Georgia, but the girl’s words checked her. “The vsual routine,” Georgia went on sharply. “The Matisse room, the present from the Lord of the Ha- tem, the couch—” Allan’s usually slow speech has- teaed a little. “Georgia, you're im- possible. Georgia’s face flamed. It was a shrew’s face, Iris had always known. She clutched Allan's arm, and did something close to shaking him. “And you. You dare—after every- thing—” A man servant stood in the door way, quiet and incredibly decorous bb. the middle of these whirling passions. “Mr. Beckley, Mrs. Morgan wants to speak to you, sir!” \ JITH what Iris could not help thinking was a certain male relief at getting away from a scene, Allan spoke a word of apology and left the girls together. Iris braced herself for a continuation of the scene. But instead Georgia changed as suddenly as if someone had turned a key in her. Her face smoothed to sweetness, and she laughed easily. “Here, put it back,” she said, throwing the fur about Iris’s bare shoulders again..“What a pig I was!” “But if you are engaged to Mr. Beckley.” said Iris, “you are right. hhe hasn't aay business to give pres- quite un- eats to other girls without your knowledge.” Georgia stared at her for a mo-} more laughed again. ment, then Yoday In History | 1789—George Washington - in- augurated first President, in Fed- cral Hall, Wall ‘Street, New York City. 1798—United States Navy De-! partment formally created. 1803 — Lonisiana purchased ain shrilly. She kissed Iris suddenly. “You cunning thing!” she said. “You and I are going to be great friends.” Tris was not a fool. She did not trust Georgia. But she had been reared to a courtesy which had at least to seem to accept such friend- lines: as the girl offered. She said something, she scarcely knew what. One thing she did know. If Georgia aad had any real rights over Allan, she’d have said so. Iris pulled the fur ‘closer. “But what I came up to say was that most of the crowd are going,” «Margaret CWiddemer pose Mrs. Morgan sent Willams te tell Allan so, as | forgot to. But after uhey’re gone some of us are going t» drive somewhere and dance and have something to eat; we want you along. And Allan, of course.” “My aunt—” began Iris, but Georgia said, “Oh, your brother and the Silverwheels gir] are coming, of course. Run along down and say nightie-night to the old lady, and come back up here to wait.” Iris was glad to escape from Al- lan’s room, and get away from Georgia for a little while. She ran dowr the narrow winding old stairs te change her dress, find her hostess and say good-by to her. “Don’t forget. I'll word. She made her final farewell, and slid up the back stairs as Georgia had told her to do. Her brother and Sigrid, Dicky, and a couple of men and ,a girl she did colored flock with hlack patches, all over the couch and the floor. Presently. they~ were- aH. flocking vut to the eams, Allan laidithe snow- leopard fug qiyout her slpuldegs. “How docs it‘feél to have furs fiom the Hitfialayas drop down the chimney?” he said in her ear as he put her in a low racing car. They were the symbol of her vic- tory over Georgia. And yet some- thing stun, her at his phrase. Some- one had said that before. Suddenly she remembered. Morgan. That first day she had met Mor- gan. And he, innocently, thinking her a girl of fifteen in her short dresses, had said, “Let me give you money for a dress, say it’s dropped | cown the chimney.” And she had been angry, been insulted. iOMF YY?” he asked her, breaking into her thoughts. She smiled at him brilliantly. “Quite. Where are Owen and Sigrid?” “Behind in the Andersons’ car,” ke said. She was relieved to find that Georgia was not-with them— nobody was in the rumble seat, in- deed—and sat happily silent while the car made its clever way through a westbound street and up the west drive to Riverside. She had not, so far, been to any of the Harlem cabarets, and she thought that must Le where they were going... NO - it must be Arrowhead Inn— they were on Broadway, finally turn- ing north, “Where are we headed for?” she d.manded finally. “Won't it be late when we get there?” “It will indeed,” said Allan, in his amused soit voice. “We're late now. Does it matter?” “Why, 1 suppose not—” She was Jeing a country-mouse again. After all, there were no early engage ments tomorrow. She drowsed a sittle. They were still sliding swiftly along the silver ribbon when she wakened. “Aren't we there yet?” she demanded sleepily. “Almost,” said Allan. “You're a wonderful child. The only girl | ever ‘ ind enjoy all this in silence.” She s.ared at the trees, the low hills at one side, theMPeadowsg) stretching out on thé —al.silvered and 2 ful. ‘Suddenly her dreamy dil sh wits..btbken by a low “damn” from Allan, She knew enough, about cars to know that the jat,and the grinding roise which! followed Jt, was prob- ably the sound of a broken differ- ential. He was all right in a moment. “Something wrong with the car,” radbouse, anyway.” That was all right, then. They woule get a lift back in one of the other cars. They went carefully after that, finally landing at a queer turreted sort of place, a roadhouse igh up from the road. The warmth and light of the odé none of the ornate luxury Iris ex pected. She supposed it was liked, then, for being “quaint.” Allan or d red bacon and eggs, and when Iris came back from checking her wraps, aid, “We might as well eat when the food is ready.” (Copyright, 1933-36, Margaret Widdemer) The | situation | worse, tomorrow. grows rapidly jfrom France—admitted to State- j hood same day in 1812.
