WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1937. J wo’s Co is ace By MARGARET GUION HERZOG The Characters Nina, a nice girl with flaxen hair, meets a young man at a party. David drives her home, con- fessing he crashe . the party and is an automobile. salesman. He has copper hair and a dog. Honey, Nina’s plump, youthful mother, brings home a new hus- band, unannounced, Richard, Nina's stepfather. Cordelia, Nina’s closest friend. Chapter Three A Drink To the Bride is ihe true all right, I’m happy to say.” Richard drew Honey to him in a very sweet way. Something that had felt all taut and constricted—her heart maybe —relaxed in Nina’s breast. Honey was saying: “And | have the heavenliest last name.” © “What is it, darling?” “Challoner.” “Oh, my, yes. It’s very, very... something, isn’t it? ‘Richard Chal- loner,’ I like it; and ‘Honey Chal- loner,’ too.” 1 . 4 a were still standing in a ua pac in the upstairs haik “Would you two grinning things mind-coming in and giving me;a little data?” for the insincerity, and as he bent over Honey with her glass, she looked at him, critically, for the | first time. Sleek, dark hair and eyes, and a thin line of moustache on his upper lip... . A deep chest and broad shoulders, covered by an almost too-well-tailored blue suit. ... Custom made shoes. Nina thought she had never seen any- body more sure of himself; who, looked more as though he would know the right thing to do in any conceivable situation. ... And then she smiled, because he had said the right thing after all. He had put on a little show for Honey, just as she, Nina, had been doing. |. “Nervous! Isn’t he ridiculous, Nina? How could you help adoring him?” ; “I do believe your mother is prejudiced.” And Honey beamed. “Well, don’t be too sure of me, | young fella!” said Nina. “I’m only taking you under advisement, un- derstand, and the first black and blue mark on Honey. .. pht! you go out on your ear!” She raised her brandy. “Here’s to the bride.” Her glass tinkled in the open Spier and a second after, Rich- ard’s. young, that it was absurd to have her for a mother. She drank to her new husband, Nina looked at Richard Challoner, critically, for the first time as he bent over Honey. But when the three of them were settléd in a row, with Nina in the middle, on Honey's sinky, pillow- strewn couch, it appeared that there was very little data to give out. They had fhet at a dinner party he for Honey, in Chicago, by er Surtees, her hostess, they had fallen in love, immediately, and had béen unabie to figure out any reason why they should wait to do something about it. “Just one of those things,” mur- mured Nina, smiling. But she thought: “Oh, no. No reason at all ... only me; and the question of whether they're reall suited to each other; and the dif- ference in their ages (he must be at least 10 years yume than Honey); and a few thousand other little items to be considered... .” Richard’s ‘Nervousness’ ye do think it’s fun, our hav- ing done it and surprised you, don’t you, darling?” Was there a pleading look in Honey's blue eyes? Did she know she had been bad? “I do,” answered Nina, prompt- “When did — it, happen?” It ly. hurt her terribly to think of her | mother standing somewhere, say- ing: “I do.” without her . . . giv- | ing away the whole rest of her life to a stranger. “Day before yesterday.” “And you'll be going away now for a while, I suppose.” Suddenly, a terrible thought struck her. “Look here, you two aren't going | to live in Chicago, are you? Richard Challoner said, bomen “No, my dear. I should have told you that right off. I'm not going to take your mother awa: rom you... only for a few wee! “Whew!” Nina breathed “I feel better. Let's have a ain. rink on this.” She crossed over to a ta-) top and began ble, lifted the gl to do things to the bottles and giasses. Richard came to help her. “Of course I know that I don't intend to beat Honey, or make her miserable, but you have no.way of knowing it. You're being a mar- | velous sport,-and I certainly ap- iate it ‘ess that I was terribl That was his first hadn’t been nervous at to make a good impress tainly . .. a little amused pe but never nervous.

There’s all tomorrow to, talk in. ... You two run along. Pll lock up,” “She's right, sweetheart,” said Richard. “You've had a big day,” and he took his wife’s two little white hands and pulled her up off the low couch. .. . Honey never. could get up alone. Nina kissed her mother and whispered a “God bless you,” as her father used to do, and as she had done ever since he died; and then she felt her hand in Richard's | firm clasp, for a minute. | “Goodnight . . . my dears,” and she ran out and down the stairs partly because she had to put out the lights on the first floor, but mostly because she couldn't bear to see her mother and Richard go down the hall and into the bi; double room that Honey ha shared with daddy. But when she had touched all | the switches, and bolted the front | door, she had to Come up again. | Her own room was on the third |floor; and as she passed her | mother's, she heard Honey saying: | “Do you, Richard?” and then his low laugh. Ten minutes later Nina lay in her own bed. She had the large front room over the library. Two windows faced north on 74th street; the | hangings were of heavy satin.

Barnett on “Who Owns Florida?” The speaker declared that if an jabstract of title could be made of j Florida, and the title traced far enough back through the claims lof the English, the Spanish and ithe Seminole Indians, it would be jeune that the title to vests in Almighty God. Using the farm as an ’ illustra- tion, it was shown that God furn- jishes the soil, ‘the sunshine, ‘the rains, the seasons, the gift of life to growing plants and trées,’ and that man furnishes_' only " about five percent of what is’ invested in the production of a crop. Only as Atmericans come to recognize God’s ownership of their lives and possessions shall we be able to save ‘our nation from that sordid materialism into which we are rapidly drifting, he stated. The speaker suggested every Ohristian ought to ac- knowledge God’s ownership of his life and possessions by setting aside one-tenth of his income as an act of worship to God, to be used in the extension of the King- dom of God throughout the world. The service tonight at Stone church will begin promptly at 7:45 o’clock, and a large audience is expected to again be present. The stewardship revival will con- tinue through Friday evening of the present week.
