THURSDAY, Maxi ii Gypsy Weather tr ee eee eee ONT ON MARGARET BELL HOUSTON SYNOPSIS: Dirk Joris, younger 'g shock at Elinor Fleming’s statement that she will not marry Rupert because of his drinking. Even staid old vrie Wood, the Joris place for many years, emed to grow dark- er—and when Elinor gocs on to an= nounce her engagement to Gage Seymour, Rupert's wine glass sud- denly snaps off at the stem, and the bowl falls to the table cloth in & little red stain.

So we call It gypsy weather, They sort of blow in with the rain.” The bell was ringing again,’ and Dirk took the umbrella, letting Timothy hurry back, it was good to feel the clean fresh night, the safe outside world. Ru- pert had made a horrible thing of the house. Elinor too, for that mat- ter. ... Had never loved him! Of course she had loved him. They had been mad about each other at the start. But a dying woman had cried faintly to Elinor, and she had held back, Rupert, too, had been rather gallant about it.... IRK’S long dark roadster waited in the porte-cochére. He saw that the curtains were buttoned fast, made Elinor comfortable beside him. She sat silent as they rode, her face hidden in the white fur of her cloak. Dirk had a sense that she was crying —from reaction, no doubt; perhaps from actual grief, even from relief that the thing was over. She had known for some time that this must come. Rupert, too, had known, or feared it. Had he not said, “Lam not surprised,” and waited as he had waited that day the market crashed? Now he would drink all misht as he had done then, and by “You'll be in my wedding, Dirk?” Having been told this, why couldn't Rupert keep still and let her go? “Pa es have not changed,” re- peated Rupert. “Nor have women.” £linor said whitely, “If you were sober you would not have said that of the man I love.” Rupert looked at her, smiling, lift- ing his dark brows, sardonic, mock- ing. “Love?” he said. “Love,” she repeated on a higher note. And then, whiter than ever, speaking very slowly, “I never loved you. No girl could love you, really. No girl could marry you, No decent girl.” She rose with the quiet of those who have stabbed to kill, stood for a moment erect and silent in the flame-colored shawl. Dirk had risen simultaneously, thankful that the scene was over and that they would go. Rupert’s eyes followed them somberly as they left the room. In the hall they heard him laughing, Jaughing ard ringing the bell, speak- ing to Timothy, speaking angrily. The contortions of a dying foe. Elinor moved composedly, The bat- tle was hers.

He opened the door for them, teiting in a of rain. Lightning shone for an instant on the uemlock-nedges and wet garden-walks, on the great sivne lions couched beside the steps. “Wait, ma’am, and I'll get the um- brella,” said Timothy. “It’s gypsy weather, tonight, and I didn’t ex- pect it so early. “Well, if gypsies this—” said Dirk. “They do, sir, for it catches them on the road.

It was when her name had first been coupled with Gage Seymour’s that Rupert had be- gun to speculate. Seymour’s money made him a formidable rival. The Jorises, in the manner of old New Yorkers, had never aspired to enormous wealth. They had a secure and substantial fortune in real es- tate, bought in the very beginnings of New York, and each generation had made certain conservative in- vestments in stocks and bonds, Ru- pert was the first to go off at this speculative tangent. Rupert was the first, in Dirk’s ex- perience, at least, to go in for heavy drinking. And now he had lost, not only a good deal of money, but Elinor, Elinor who had seemed to belong to Lowrie Wood. Elinor spoke at last from the depth of her white fur. “Thank you for being there to night.” Dirk answered, “It was hard for you, I know.” “Yes. It would have been harder without you. I had to tell him—not write it. I'll send his presents back tomorrow.” She added more steadily, “You missed dinner in a lively place with Isabel.” “1 don’t mind,” said Dirk, “I mean —that particular roadhouse. It’s not, so lively.” They had stopped in the village, before her house, a large frame dwelling with shutters and balus- traded roof, an old dwelling in a [ quiet street, its lighted upper win- dows shining through the rain. Dirk thought how many times Ru- pert must have stopped his car here, ! gone through the gate and up the walk. ... linor was saying in her soft voice, “You'll be in my wedding, Dirk?” Dirk was silent. “It will look better,” she said, “if | * you will. And I want you. I'll put you with Isabel.” (Copsright, 1935, Margaret Belt Houston}, Dirk starts, tomorrow, to see @ ‘grophetess. adventures your word; be fair.” Fred W.
