TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1986. SYNOPSIS: Iris Lanning has felt the genteel poverty of her small town Pennsylvania home for the giddy splendors of her Aunt Phina’s set in New York. She is loved by Allan Beckley, although she has not forgotten Morgan Black at She also is in love with the govety which has been denied her all her life. Now Phina has leased an enormous Long Island estate from Allan’s socially impregnable grandmother. Mrs. Morgan, and is embarking on a summer of open- handed _pospitality — partly for Tris’ sake Chapter 32 ENDLESS PARTY HINA came back then, and Iris made an excuse to go upstairs. The stairway was immense like everything else, with a beautiful turn, and fifteenth century tapes- tries along it. “Your bedroom is the one with the fans,” Phina called after her. She found it finally, at the far end of the house. It was exquisite; paneled in rose brocade, draped with Honiton lace over rose silk, with old fans framed at intervals alung the wall, a mirror-topped dressing-table in the center of the room with drapery over its carved top fine enough for 2 wedding veil. She dropped into a squat rose covered chair and saw through a * doorway something she had read of, but never seen before—an unmis- takeable boudoir. The period of the whole thing, like a film over its overt Louis Fifteenthness, was of cweniy years ago. Then her aunt’s “Iris, Iris!” brought her out of her dream and downstairs. Phina was a magnificent or ganizer. In a week it was as if the family had lived there forever. In a@ month Iris felt it was her home. She would have liked to wander all day in the woods and gardens of sis incredible demesne. But she had little time, except when Allan Beckley appeared. And he made love to her. Not in the short-phrased brusqueness of the other men who picked her up in their cars for golf or tennis, who drifted in increasingly of a late afternoon for what was called tea —cocktails and hors d’ceuvre served by a superbly impassive man ser vant in the foyer, or if it was sunny by the swimming pool. If—this being a season when even the most strongly rooted were re trenching—they came partly for the openhanded hospitality Phina gave, Vhina said it did not matter. HE talked this over with Allan next time he drove in and car- ried her off from an impending’ bridge expert. “I told you you shouldn't expect to live up to ‘love me for myself alone.’ Few do for anybuly, ever. Though I might, if you'd let me practice. Maybe I do, anyway.” They were walking together down a path hedged by rosebushes vhich towered tall above their heads, and were now, toward the end of May, beginning to bud. He faeld her hand lightly as he talked; as he ended, he drew her to him and kissed her lightly, there in the warn clear sunshine. It was nearly June. Everything felt like exquisite spring, happy summer. And one must be happy. Phina’a said she mustn’t be prim. Aunt Ella’s code was thirty years ola. She kissed him back. ... And tuen she realized the excitement, the warrt thrilling, the warm hold of a man’s arms, his lips pressing kiss after kiss on hers. He was half laughing, but he was in passionate earnest too. The casual manner, the mockery, had gone. “You're wonderful—I adore you —your wonderful fresh love—when are you going to make me happy?” she heard him mutter ardently be tween kisses. The montb that had passed had seen him an almost daily visitor. She was very fond of him... and sh was young, she loved love... . There was something missing. He was not Morgan. And yet, as she moved away from him, she told herself she was fool- ish. Morgan was lost; Allan was here; every path led straight to him. “Do you really think I could make you happy—and you me?” she said, against his lips. “I know it,” he told her. He held her tighter. “Then ... give me time—and I think I'll try,” she said. She had burned her bridges—she was promised to Allan. ND then Camilla, tired of wait- ing for her at the house, was coming towards them, and Allan réleased her and was the casual charming friend again; he was mak- i ing bis excuses a lumeheon int Today’s Birthdays' John M.

Camilla col- ored, but smiled and spoke naturally “When are you going to make me happy?” enough, an) went back to her book {| with Iris. He had dropped a note book on the grass. Camilla saw it “Hadn't you better take it to him?” she said. Iris ran after him with it, and then wished she hadn't, for his face wus dark, and he said angrily, “Must 1 always find Camilla under my |; est?” “Owen! You know I can’t stop our fencing practice. 1 didn't real ize you felt so abou: it. I can ar- range to go to her place, if you're really in earnest, pu: it seems so un- wind.” “Sorry. Sigrid’s raising the devil again. Camilla at this end scemed+ more than | could stand. pedte at luncheon.” She went tack to Camilla, who, deer in her book, penciling correc- tions, sharpening phrases, seemed serene enough. They had their swim, dressec in the little bath- house, went in to luncheon. The concert rehearsal—it was act- aally a revuc—was already in full swing. Iris was a little awed to real- ize that it was the most important thing of the summer in her part of | Long Island. Girls and men both maneuvered to take even the small- est part, as marking them complete- ly a part of the smart group, which Tl be} had also the backing of those dow- | agers who run society anywhere, and whose queen, here, was Mrs, Morgan. Tt was Mrs. Morgan herself who telephoned. Gown to see her. (Copyright, 1933-36, Margaret Widdemer) Iris has a shocking scene, toe morraw. ; !
