MONDAY, MAY 4, 1936. SENUFSIS: tris Lanning has been taken into her Aunt Phina’s rather speedy set in New York. She enjoys the change from genteel poverty in a smalt Pennsylvania town; she enjoys also the triumph of having Allan Beckley desert Georgia Blair for her, Allan being the entirely eligible young man he is, But Iris was a Uttle perturbed tohen Allan ran away with her the night before, landing finally at a slightly frowsy roadhouse far up the Hudson. Chapter 33, LECTURE. ‘HE brother and sister dined alone that night; Phina was in bed, after the excitement of lease- signing. “Oh, I love New York! It’s a magic city!” Iris said. She crossed the room and leaned out the win- dows. “The tall buildings, the sky- line with all those starred gray heights against it, and the dull-rose glow in the sky behind.” “I know,” said Owen gently. “I hope it will neyer look like just Park Avenue to%you.” “Oh, you talk like Uncle Will. You ought to be back in our hermit- age, I believe you'd like that,” Iris said, half teasing, half annoyed. “We were cast wrong. You don't really like the pleasures and pal- aces; you would have been happier than I with Uncle Will and Father and Aunt Ella. Maybe you'd have been a real artist.” “Well, I had Mother till I was twelve, you know. She was the sweetgg* thing—gay and impulsive and affectionate; not a bit like Phina.” “I wonder what she'd have thought about this exciting world of yours.” “Yours, my child,” said Owen, a little cynically. “You happen to be the family passport to smart society. Oh, any unmarried man not too ill- mannered can spend his night in all the best stag-lines; but, you see, I was selfish enough (or Phina con- siders it selfish) to prefer Sigrid. You like the roadhouses and the dinner-parties and the victories over such as Georgia.” “I do like going places and seeing things. So would you if you had been brought up without money, and under a system of obedience and seclusion which dated from Aunt Ella’s girlhood.” “So far, so good. But I wouldn't stay so late at the Chateau next time. Georgia can get away with that sort of thing better than you can. And, little sister, watch your step—Georgia is a clever girl—” He was not looking at her as he spoke. “Oh, Owen—” she poured out her explanation. “And I thought Georgia had done it, till 1 found Phina and Camilla thought I did!” “Georgia's line was, of course, that you had,” said her brother. She thought he looked relieved. “She ought to know, it was her own habit last winter. There’s nothing Georgia doesn't do, understand. But you have to be her kind to do Lag “Was it very serious?” He patted her. “Nothing's serious these days.” “But, oh, how gorgeous!” UT Iris reflected that Mrs. Mor- gan understood, or Phina wouldn't be leasing the Woodlands. Mrs. Morgan was her kind of per- son. And when she was driving down in Allan's completely repaired low-slung gleaming dark-blue car, with Allan as easy and amused and casual as ever by her side, life was all exciting. “We'll take the grounds first,” he said, as they finally drove through a pair of wrought-iron gates. “Little girls from mid-Victoria always pre- fer the simple pleasures of a gar- den, don’t they?” “If you keep on teasing me about being from mid-Victoria I'll be driven to a terrible effort to be modern. And I'll do it badly. And then you won't like me any more,” she said, laughing. “Then I'll certainly stop, for you do this superlatively well. And here’s the first garden, Beautiful.” He stopped the car and they got out, moving through a tall barrier of forsythia bushes. They turned down througi a bridlepath. It wound through parklike green for perhaps a quarter of a mile, went through a delicate small woodland, and end- ed at another wrought-iron gate, single and low. : Allan opened it for her and stood back as she passed between the high hedges. She stood, slim and tall and starry-eyed with the excite- ment of what she saw about her, her coat blown back by the spring wind, her face flushed and rapt. Tall flowering trees stood about. as in an orchard close. But crocuses | and snowdrops trrust up along the | borders of the paths: masse rosebushes would be covered with red and pink flowers Inter ! e e; Today’s Horoscope.

Bridal wreath and a dozen other | lovely old-fashioned and new-fash- | foned blossoming bushes crowded | the grass. | Scarcely knowing what she did, | she threw out both hands and | caught Allan’s with them, drawing | him closer to her. He had made all this heaven ‘possible. He had ‘given / her a chance to have the freedom | of’ this hidden, exquisite garden, high-hedged and dreaming ‘and beautiful. ” “Allan, Allan, how shall I thank you? You've brought me to live in Paradise!” she breathed. “It’s the:}. place I’ve dreamed of all my life!” Happy, rapt, innocently as a child would, she pulled his head down and kissed him. He did not release her at once. She had forgotten that he would kiss her, too. When he did, he said breathlessly, not at all like the cas- ual Allan of every day: coed heavens, what sort of a girl are you? A witch, or a devil, or an ingenue, or an old-world lady, or all of them together?” “All of them together,” Iris said, laughing, a little frightened at what she had done, but still so enrap- tured over the garden that she could think of little else. “Aren't you used to impulsive gratitude?” “Not that kind, but I like it.” “Allan, what really did happen heré? I'd rather hear the story from you.” LLAN looked a little annoyed, as if he'd rather not think of it. “Yes, I suppose you've heard all sorts of t-les. It was simple enough. Uncle Frank was a bit of a bounder along with his dynamism. It goes with the type, I suppose. And his business methods got old-fashioned. ‘ They'd been all right for ten years ago, but they were a little slippery for these times. “So an annoyed and mentally un- sound depositor, who felt Uncle Frank had ruined him in the nine- teen-twenty-nine crisis, shot him one fine day, about .. year and a half ago. My aunt, fortunately, had died some years before. My cousin had just become engaged to Georgia Blair. He was a quixotic sort of fellow. He insisted on giving back everything his father had obtained dishonestly, according to a lot of fool professional exposers. You can imagine how that irritated Georgia. She broke with him, and he disap- peared. He was found drowned a few weeks later. It’s about a year now. Left everything to Granny.” “Oh, how could Georgia?” “I don't blame her, exactly. As she said, Jim’s name was clouded. That and no money together were a lot to ask her to stand.” “I don’t think so at all!” Iris said hotly. “Even if she hadn't loved him, she owed him loyalty and honesty. 1 think she was hard and greedy, and ill-bred.” “Well, you two never did each other,” said Allan gayly. “You should have been Jim's girl, not yeoygia. But, as he’s dead, you'll have to put up with me.” He caught her ungloved slim hand and swung it. “Now let’s stop being sad and go visit the stables. Frank had this place constructed on the plan of an Elizabethan manor house, stables and all. The house rambles off into a few Spanish spots and Louis Fifteenth bedrooms, but in the main it's all for good Queen Bess. Showplace, really “The greunds are big enough for a township. But they're wonderful, I never saw anything like them,” Iris said with her usual frankness. They finally returned, through the very impressive front doors. They | could igve driven in with a motor bus. Honora was directing a man- servant to lay a picnic lunch on an Elizabethan refectory table. A fire roared in a fireplace, wher@ a coat of arms, all red and gold and lions and unicorns, stood out from the paneled wall above the mantelshelf. Two Titians, a Madonna and a De- scent, flanked the enormous fire- place. Iris gasped, then laughed ir- repressibly. “If you don’t mind my criticizing your uncle and my aunt, it’s a cross between a hotel and a movie palace, only all real,” she said. “Showplace,” Allan said coolly, but he laughed too. And then Phina was entering from another door, marshaling a bored Owen, filling the place with the whirlwind of her driving inten- tions—upkeep, renewals, necessi- ties for setting the estate going again. Phina treated Allan with what was for her docility. When he finaily rose to leave, she went with him to continue discussions of ways and means. 6, Margaret Widdemer) ots takes an important step, toe.)
