THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2 SYNOPSIS: Dark, handsome Philip Page, returning to his boyhood home, buys the Warren- ton Courier and back: the bork- ‘men of the Morris mill in their fight for better living condi- tions. Sally Varren, attractive, thoughtful society editor, loves Terry Maynard, boyish, blond avi- ator, but permits their engage- ment to break when she learns that Terry and her wilful younger sister, Tip, are in love. Terry is to leave in a week for South America, taking Tip, instead of Sally. Sally throws herself into her work at the Courier, trying to forget. Chapter 22 Supper In The Garden 'T was mid-afternoon before Sally found time to rést a moment. She remembered then that she had eaten no lunch and that she had had only coffee for breakfast. Although she wanted no food, she felt weak and shaky. She had decided to go out for a sandwich when Philip Page rang the bell from his office. Sally got her pencil and knocked at his door. “Can you take some letters?” he in- quired, without looking at her. Sally seated herself beside him and began to take a letter. Philip Page spoke rapidly but seldom asked to have anything changed. When he was through and Sally had risen to go, he called her back. Ww ‘You must have made a “Wait just a minute, Miss Warren.” Sally stayed obediently. She was wondering how much longer. she could stand up, without something to hold her. Her knees felt weak and there was a light that seemed to dance before her eyes. “Do you mind telling me just why you took Mary Morris to the Mc- Donalds’ house?” Philip was saying. “Why, no, I don’t mind telling you.” Was he angry with her about that? Then he was unreasonable. “I wanted to give Mrs. McDonald some more work and, more than that, 1 wanted Mary to see some of the terrible houses her father owns. 1 wanted her to see why it is you're so interested in —in fighting her father.” “You think that will help us?” de- manded Philip. “Do you think Mary Morris will be willing to fight for de- cent houses for her father’s tenants?” “I—don't—know.” Sally's voice sounded to her as if it belonged to someone else. She made a stumbling effort to reach her chair. Philip got up and steadied her, put her into the chair, and left hastily. She closed her eyes wearily. When she opened them again he was back with a glass of water. “What's the matter, Sally?” “Nothing. I'll he gall right in a minute. Sorry fof fake gs) much trouble.” VF wee 7 & “No trouble at all. You’re looking very pale. As soon as you feel up to the trip downstairs, I'll2take you home.” * Sally did not want to go home, but she let Philip take her down the stairs and put her into the car. She could walk, but she was none too steady on her feet. She leaned close to the open window of the car and let the breeze blow on her face. Suddenly she knew that she could not go home just now and face her family. “Please don't take me home,” she said. “I can’t think of any place to go, but I can’t go home.” “All right,” said Philip. we drive for a little while Confession To Philip ALLY decided, afterwards, that nothing of all that exciting day was so remarkable as Philip Page's Silence as he drove her far into the country so that she could recover from the faint she had so nearly had in his office. He kept his eyes on the road ahead of them as Sally lay back against the cushion of the car and rested. It was Sally who broke the silence, at last. “T'm all right now. I've taken up enough of your time for one day.” “Feel better?” “Much better.” However, she still felt weak from lack of food. “Suppose 4, 1936. “Kid sister giving you trouble?” “Someone else will be looking after her from now on,” said Sally. Sud- denly she did not find it hard to tell ! Philip Page about Tip and Terry. “She’s marrying Terry Maynard next ; week.” “So. you gave him up, eh?” Philip | Page kept his eyes on the road. “I rather thought you would.” Sally said; nothing and he went on, “Don't bee, too generous. If you don’t stick upsfor- | { ! yourself you'll find youtre just a door-" mat for other folks.” Then he smitfed., “You don’t look in the least like ay) doormat, Sally, and 1 never thought you wer? very much in. love with the young flying man.” ° “You're wrong,” said Sally, deter-, mined to confess the full bitterness of her heart to Philip. “I do love him— | but he doesn’t—care for me any longer.” “So that’s the way of it.” He was silent a moment. “I suppose you made it easy for both of them.” He glanced sharply at Sally. “Don’t be offended. 1 can’t help taking a fatherly interest in you. It’s a hangover from the days when I used to tell you which trees were suitable for girls to climb.” “And I shall go right on picking out my own trees,” said Sally firmly. “Of course you will,” agreed Philip. |up when you fall.

You can sit around and rest. I'll telephone them you won't be home.and then rH bring some food and we'll have sup- per in the garden. There’s absolutely no one at my place.” “I shouldn't,” said Sally. “Why not? Name you reasons.” Sally couldn't phrase them. After all, why not? She was too tired and hungry to face anyone, and the Page garden seemed a haven of peace. “Tl do it,” she said. “Good!” he headed the car for home. “We'll go in the side drive so we shan’t be seen from your house.” slipping in the back drive and getting out behind the Page house. Sally was soon established comfortably in the wicker chair under the magnolias, while Philip went to forage for food. ~ He came back soon with a cloth for the garden table, and a basket filled with what he had found in the pantry. He brought out each package as if it were a prize. “Aunt Dora is a good provider,” he boasted. “I rarely ever have anything but breakfast at home. She’s afraid I never get any other proper meals so she keeps the pantry stocked for my midnight lunches.” Aunt Dora was a colored woman who had cooked for the Pages when she was young. She was well past middle age now, one of the town’s best loved citizens. She had been a famous cook, and her recipes were still sought after. She had her own home, now, and her children had done well in the world, so that she did not need to work. : : It had pleased her, however, to come back to the old Page house, and to look after Philip, whom she had known as a child. She gave him his breakfasts, looked after his clothes, and kept the old house clean. “You must have made a clean sweep of the pantry,” said Sally, setting out the two plates and glasses, “I did,” said Philip. “Aunt Dora likes me to.” He set a bottle of milk on the table and then produced a whole lemon pie. “Here's some cheese, and half a ham.” “Ripe olives!” exclaimed Sally, rescuing a wooden bowl that Philip had almost overturned. “Two tomatoes and half a can of beaten biscuit,” said Philip. “That’s all. Do you think you can manage?” “I'm _ starved,” confessed Sally. “Let's begin.” (Copyright, 1936, Bailey Wolfe) | | _Feverish entertainments lead up to Tip’s wedding tomorrow. ee Today’s disposition is apt to be vacillating and uncertain.
