WEDNESDAY, MAY v, 1986 Golden «Aargaret C Widdemer SYNOPSIS: Iris Lanning, gently bred in a Pennsylvqnia small town atmosphere, has become a great success with the people who mat- ter in New York, thanks to her Aunt Phina’s money and her own charm. She is even engaged to Al- lan Beckley, whose grandmother, Mra. Morgan. is the ruling dowager of the true inner set. Now Mrs. Morgan has asked Iris to come to her house, for an unannounced purpose. And Allan has been sent to take her there. Chapter 35. PLAIN SPEECH. LLAN appeared duly in the blue roadster. “I adore you,” he said. “You set me wild. Let's drive to the moon together, after we've fiinished with Granny.” “Any moon you say,” she return- ed, lightly. “I'll keep you to that. I know a lot of pretty hot moons,” said he gayly. Presently they were at their destination. It was an unpretentious authen- tic Georgian house, behind a white picket fence. Peaceful, human- sized, reminding her of home. She said so. “I love your Granny's place, it’s so like Persia!” Granny, rising stifly from a kneeling mat before a bedful of sweet-williams, came forward in a preposterous smock to greet her. Presently Mrs. Morgan, very much as if she were sending a little boy to play in the attic, said, “Al- lan, my dear, there are some busi- ness papers upstairs in your grand- father’s study that I wish you'd go over. I'll entertain Miss Lanning while you're gone.” Allan, lifting a lazy eyebrow, smiled and went. “How long do you want them to keep me there?” he inquired as he passed the door. “Half an hour,” said his grand- ‘mother, as coolly. She smiled reas- suringly as she turned to Iris, but none the less she got down to busi- ness. “That rather dreadful young wo- man, Georgia Blair, was here this morning. | have to see more or less ‘of her, as she is on the membership committee of our branch of the Junior League, and her mother and I are on various other committees together. “It's no secret to you that she would rather you weren't a member of the League, or took part in the Anna Lispenard concert—I! believe they are calling it a revue this \year. | am a judge of human nature to rather more of an extent than any girl in her twenties. “I credit you with honesty, breed ing and ancestry, as well as your more patent qualities; prettiness and a singing voice and goot clothes are easy enough to come by. They interest Allan, naturally, more than the others,” said the old lady quietly, while Iris colored high. “But why do you tell me this?” she asked as quietly, when Mrs. ) Morgan paused. “I believe in plain speaking. | have hoped for a long time that such a girl as you existed, and that iny only remaining grandson would find and be attracted by her. | have said all this to you because I want to ask for your word of honor that you haven't deceived me about your- self or yours in any way.” This amazing old lady stopped talking. RIS pulled herself together and answered with dignity. “Certainly | give you my word of honor. There's nothing to know about me. I haven't been outside the place where | was born, except to go to Philadelphia, a few miles away, since | was born. Your rela- tive, Mrs. Cadwallader, could tell you al! about us Lannings.” She rose to go. Mrs. Morgan threw a strong arm around her. “My child, you mustn't be offend. ed. I'm your friend, and 1 always hope to be.” She kissed her, and Iris, realizing that what she said was true, returned the kiss. “Did you make a hit with Gran- ny!” said Allan, as they got into the car. “You must be an animal charm- er, And now, what about the moon?” Things were relaxed and delight- ful again. “Where are you going to take me?” “Anywhere you say, you good lit- dle sport.” But the end was something neither of them had foreseen—the encount- er at a service station of Dicky and threo other of their friends, vocifer- ous over a broken car and appro. priating a ride home. Only, as she was dropped at her own door, Al- lan whispered “Postponed only!” And she nodded. Next day was one of Camilla’s fencing days. It coincided again with one of Owen's days at home.)

They were dressed after their swim when one of the maids rapped on the bathhouse. door. “A young person with the cos- tumes, from Madame Phina’s,” wer said. “Oh, bother. I'll have to see her. Phina’s golfing,” Iris said. “All right,” Camilla said. “I'll wait for you under the striped um- brella.” “In the housekeeper’s room,” said the maid. Iris éntered. And there sat a small stiff figure in errand- girl black. Sigrid, with a devil in her eye. “Why on earth are you waiting here—and what are you dressed like that for?” Iris demanded. Sigrid lifted a face which Iris saw was deadly angry. “Madame Phina sends me to bring down pageant costumes. properly dressed, to the proper room. When Miss Iris has seen the costumes,” Sigrid went on stiffly, “I would be glad if she would ask the young master if I might speak to him. I have something to tell him.” “I have something to tell you, you idiot! Owen's breaking his heart. You're tormenting him to death!” “And what about me?” She glared | at Iris. “Owen talks about gratitude and duty, and all the while he's getting deeper tangled in this life | 4 Phina’s playing for, with the two of you for pawns. And what do J count, what do I matter?” “Butshe loves you and wants te marry you.” “Then he has to break with Phina. This is a showdown. Send for him.” e i RIS rang; she send a maid for Owen. Meanwhile she tried to reason with Sigrid. “If you love him, why don’t you | marry him and let him go on doing { what he considers his duty to Phina? I think the trouble is you don’t trust Owen.” “Trust a man? If you still believe in trusting men you don’t know what trouble is; you won't know till who- ever it is lets you down. I know. I was married and divorced when I was sixteen. A gentleman who met | me across a glove counter, and then let his family divorce and buy me off. Where did you think I got the money to buy into Phina’s?” Owen stood in the doorway. She turned on him, icy angry again. “Owen, | know you will be glad to hear of any good luck that has happened to me. I have an offer | to go to Paris, very advantageous. Lam selling out at Madam Phina’s. I sail next Monday. We are through, you and “Sigrid—” He caught her in his arms, he bent down over her. Iris ; slipped away—her last glimpse was Sigrid moving from his arms with a cold finality, and beginnins to speak. Camilla looked keenly ui Iris She laid a big shapely brown hand over Iris's ivory long-fingered one. “You've been wonderful to me, Iris. 1 shan’t forget it. You know, Iris, you're real, no matter what Georgia says. Oh, do be careful of Georgia!” “Why, what else could I be?” Iris said gayly. “As for Georgia, I am as careful as I can be. But I have to see her along with the rest.” Before Camilla’s slow voice had begun to answer, Owen was there, standing above the two girls. He was as white as a ghost; he was as angry as Sigrid had been; he spoke to his sister in a voice she had never heard from him. “You and Phina have succeeded. 1 see you have Camilla here. You would.” Camilla looked up at him, a little hurt and frightened. “Am I in the way, Owen? I was going in a minute—” she said, meekly. “No, you're just where you should be.” He stood before the two girls, his stern, sensitive young face tight- lipped. “Camilla, will you marry me?” Camilla never saw his bitterness. She lifted her face to his, It looked as if heaven were shining on it. In that moment she was beautiful. “Why, Owen—Owen, I didn’t think you cared—” she put her hand out to him. Iris sprang up and ran. In the days that followed Camilla bloomed. The engagement had, by ! Phina’s insistence—and doing—in- stantly been made public. Iris was afraid Owen blamed her for this too; the only blot on those triumph- | ant days was her brother's attitude of detached civility, instead of the warm affection he had given her before. To Camilla he was quiet, courteous, no more. (Copyright, 1933-36, Margaret Widdemer) tris enters the most bitter scene of her life, tomorrow. | Louis, noted physi 65 years ago.
