AY, MAY 2, 1936. 6: Iris Lanning has from her small town a home to New York, y life which centers Aunt Phina. In addi- fs apparently made a Allan Beckley, who ia igible bachelor in New lof irreproachable old fot. But when she and miles up the Albany 10 a lonely tavern early Ig, she was a little per- erybody else acoms to ht nothing of it, how- Aunt Phina. Chapter 32 KING CAMILLA led a little about Honora. was housekeeper and more or d; but she was also in a way pina’s confidante, nearly com- - Iris liked Honora. She had Fhing steady and wise abour F But she felt that there was a ittle mystery, too. Though when Honora came in with the tray, a \ handsome competent gray-haired \, Irish upper servant, the idea faded. } She had time to pull her thoughts ¢ together as she lay back against her heaped pillows in her lace-and- furred-rose dressing-jacket, tasting the tea and cinnamon toast which really should have been breakfast. It was queer to lose practically a day out of time this way. In the light of Aunt Phina’s atti- tude, and of broad daylight. she felt vather more than last night that she'd been an idiot, clinging to Aunt Ella's funny code of 1890 in a freer braver wiser world. And Allan Beckley was doubtless saying, Allan who had been such a comfort, after the shock of Morgan's engagement, with his gentleness and admiration, “1 won't bother with a girl who has that attitude toward life.” Her pride was hurt, and she was feeling more country-mouse than she had since the first day, as if sh2’d muffed things, when the telephone rang. “Good afternoon,” said the easy voice at the other end of the wire. (Allan! Still liking her, still her friend! Then he didn’t mind her be- ing an idiot!) “Oh, when did you wake up?” she asked. “You don’t sound so much awake yourself,” said the voice. “What do you think? All the rest went to the Stork Club and are pulling a line of being wronged because we lost them. I told ti:em we had the better ‘ole, don’t you think so?” “It was an adventure!” She wowdn’t be Miss Prudence any more! “That's what 1 like about you. Life’s all an adventure to you yet, an excitement. I suppos his voice was teasing—“even driving down to look at your new house on Long Is- land with me tomorrow would be exciting. We may meet your aunt there, or it may turn out | am kid- naping you fur ransom, of course. Want to take a chance? Ten, say.” She laughed. “I'll try you once more. If we get lost again I'll have mad money, this time.” HE rose and dressed, light- hearted. She zouldn’t help being a bit thrilled and pleased at all this. The telephone rang again. Camilla. ‘an I come up to tea?” she said. ‘Oh, do!” She got downstairs as Camilla came in. “What did happen after we went?” she demanded. Camilla laughed. She settled back in her chair. She was at ease with Iris by now, and in the gray dress which modeled her strong handsome statuesque figure, instead of trying to make her look adolescent, she was rather attractive. The glasses and the eager frown and careless make-up, the hunched shoulders, were really all that was wrong. Camilla was not the fash- fonable type, but she had her own possibilities. “You and Allan vanished entire- ly,” she said. “As Dicky said, the {dea of taking him off that way was the slickest thing he ever saw. The rest of us went trustfulry to the Stork Club. When you didn’t turn up we went to Georgia’s and had some breakfast and went home. Where on earth were you and Allan? Georgia made a terrible roy.” “We drove to a place called the Chateau, way past Tarrytown.” said Iris. “Allan Beckley thought that was where it was, and I thought he knew. And then the differential broke, and nobody came.” Camilla gave a delighted shriek. “Georgia's last year’s -hangout! Oh, grand! It served her right. She telephoned at intervals all over the world. She was worse than a cat with her robin stolen. The Chateau! Oh, am I glad!” Today’s Birthdayal ercrocccce Associate Supreme 61 . Owen J. Roberts, Justice of the U. S. Court, born in Philadelphia, years ago. U. S. Senator James F. Byrnes of South Carolina, born at Char- leston, 57 years ago. Harold Fowler McCormick, of “But I didn’t take him off. 1) thought—” She changed the subject, mind. She had wakened this after- noon to a delightful world; she she was. “Camilla, glasses?” Camilla jumped, then said, “Why why—to read with.” “Then why don’t you leave them off except for reading, and carry round the funny bone kind that never look as if they belonged to you, instead?” “Because I’m awkward; because it doesn't matter how I look. I've been ‘told ever since 1 was born [ was uglier than a hedge fence—not that I ever saw one.” Camilla spoke quietly, but a flush covered her face. “So 1 simply haven’t tried. Mother’s given up trying to make me.” “You aren’t. It does matter how you look. You do care, you do want people to like you. Do let me help, Camilla!” “Do you care?” said Camilla, in blank astonishment. It was a new idea to her, evidently, that anyone could. “Of course I do! Camilla—I’ll tell you—I have a wonderful idea! Let’s fence and tap dance together. It will keep mine up for me. You can’t feel awkward when you do that! And Owen said you wouldn't be plain if you didn’t think so.” “Did he? Did Owen say that?” The girl lighted so that for the moment she was really. pretty. “I could drive over from our place to Woodlands easily. There’s a big gym in the base- ment, we all used to go over there before everything happened, when Georgia was engaged to Jim. I don’t think Georgia should be so proud because Jim drowned himself for her sake, do you? And yet,” said Camilla wistfully, “it would be won- derful to have anyone care that much.” Iris had never heard the story as directly as this. She gave a little shiver. “No, I don’t, I think it’s horrid. But I'd love te have you do it.” The end of it was that Camilla went away aglow, with her glasses in her handbag, and her shoulders straight. why do you wear RIS had kissed Camilla good-by in that glow of affection for people which always came to her when she'd been doing things for them. Only one thing worried her: and she'd straighten that out with Phin “Phina,”"—she came straight ow with it—“I don’t want to be an old- fashioned, prim ‘Miss Prudence,’ as Allan Beckley calls me—but—they brought’ me up in the old-fashioned way; I’m a little at sea.” Phina was tired and eyeringed; she was lounging and ving a whisky and soda before dinner, which wasn’t like her. Phina guard- ed her health very carefully. “You mean,” said Phina sharply, “how far to let men go? There isn’t any rule—except, don’t lose your head; and remember men don’t like things they get for nothing. On the other hand, don’t be prim, unless you can make it an interesting part of your line. I’m not Dorothy Dix! If a girl knows how to handle men, she knows; and if she doesn’t, she doesn’t.” “I see,” said Iris slowly. But she did not see at all; except that Aunt Phina and she did not talk the same language. But she had found out one thing; that to this strange gay brusque hastening world with the half- guessed rules she was charming and she could, if things went as they were going, play a principal part. She had been a minor character at home, where her father had been the hero and her aunt the leading lady. This was a world where the young had the leads. She mattered— trighteningly—delightfully. All her youth and daring rose to meet the part Phina was giving her a chance to play. It did not seem incredible to her that this was happening. She was young, and when you are young the best seems only natural. But she did wonder a little why she was so lucky; and things people had said began to drift through her head in answer. A phrase of Dicky’s—“You got a new line. You make a man feel all liked and set up.” And Georgia’s bitter, unwilling tribute: “Phina knew her onions when she imported you. Just the background and scenery to make a hit with a lot of people who were tired of jazz and modernism. The old-fashioned romantic damsel, complete with ac- complishments and dialogue out of the arch eighties.” “They do like me! They do think I'm charming!” she exulted.
