FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1937. "IOIIIIIIIE SDS IIL MII) EVENTH INNING wo’'s Co By MARGARET GUION HERZOG CDI IS. The Characters Nina, a nice girt with flacen Honey, Nina’s plump, youthful mother, brings home a new husband, Richard, Nina’s stepfather, is charming, poised, dark - haired, well-tailored and Honey's junior by 10 years. David, a young auto salesman, meets "ina at a party he crashed and drives her home. He has copper hair and an engaging manner. Cordelia, Nina’s closest friend, Chapter Five Bridget’s Mistake RIDGET had been with ie Staffords for 15 years, starting as kitchen-maid. She had been a very good kitchen-maid, too,-and had had every idea of working her- self up to replacing Margaret, the; cook, who was old and rheumatic, until Honey had seen her on one o: her days off, in a dark dress, and decided she would make a marvel- lous-looking waitress . .. with her. shining red hair, and the black moiré uniform and all. So Bridget’s career in the kitch- en had been abandoned, and she had made a marvellous-lookin, waitress. Of course, in 15 years few gray strands had crept in with the red, but she still had quite a presence. This morning, for a second, when she first came in, the color of her hair made Nina remember David Day; then she noticed that the maid’s expression was unut y severe. “Good morning, Bridget.” How to begin? “Er, you knew that mother got in late last night?” “Yes, Miss Nina.” Brid; mouth was a thin, hard line. “ been upstairs, already yet. 1 snuk in to lower your mother’s window _ and turn on the heat, meself, be+ cause that Marie person says as how she's sick with the cramps, this morning.” Nina began to how] with laughter. “I don’t like those goings-on, Miss Nina, and I’m here- y giving notice.” “Oh, cin by how. funny!” she gasped. “Darling old Bridget, she’s married to him! Get down off your horse.” “Well, glory be to'God!” “I didn’t dream you had such an evil mind, my friend.” A plone 9 the Lord save us! Mar- ried... “Day before yesterday, in Chi- cago.” 4 “The day before yesterday!” “Yes, Bridget. It’s. very nice. He's very nice, and what's more, you've got to be very nice about the whole thing, do you hear me?” “Married! . .. The day before esterday ... and do we know Li “Well, I do, now. We sat up till after five. His name is Challoner, and he's a grand person. I'm very happy about it.” She said it stout- ly. “Very happy. Now i run along and tell Margaret, I'll let you have the fun, yourself. And rouse Marie, cramps or no, and see if you all can’t think of something nice te surprise the bride.” ‘ gas went out, looking impor- ani Richard Wins Bridget ‘HE sun, rather strong and healthy for October, shone through the southern windows onto Nina’s fair hair. In the morn- ings she never bothered to brush the litte individual turls over her finger, but combed it and combed it, vigorously, until it stood out like a halo of spun sugar. Her brown eyes—her father’s brown eyes—looked more arresting than ever, with her blondeness, when she wore it this way. Honey used to say: “It’s all right, darling, you'll make a success of marriage. You look too beautiful in the morning!” ‘ ‘oday, her pajamas were of soft green velvet, and she had a Springy look to her, like a slender daffodil with her yellow top. She was finishing her second cup of coffee, and was pulling, de- liciously, on her first . cigarette, when her stepfather appeared in the doorway. He looked nice in the mornings, too, apparently . . . well-groomed and refresh The beautifully tailored suit was brown, this time. “Good morning. Er... do I just come in?” “Of course. Good morning, Rich- ard, how are you? Sit down.” The chair at the head of the ta- ble was empty, but he took a seat at the side. A bit of tact and nice feeling that Nina appreciated. What to say next? You couldn't ask, “Did you sleep well?” of a groom But the waitress came in then, and Nina said: “Oh, Richard, this SITS II LIS SS Sh could tell that my wife has been having the most beautiful care.” Nina thought: “I hand it to you, old man.” _ Bridget blushed and bobbed a little curtsy, looking immensely pleased. She went to the side- board, gathered up a doily and some flat silver, and proceeded to lay aplace ... at the head of the table. As she pulled back the arm- chair, invitingly, her glance at Richard was perilously verging on the arch. “Well, now I feel that I’ve been officially welcomed into the fami- ly. Thank you, Bridget.” ‘I Want To Like You’ oe maid went out, beaming, and this time Nina said it. “T hand it to you, Richard. Honey and Bridget ... You've won some- thing, when you’ve won those two!” He looked at her, steadily, for a moment. It was impossible not to realize that he was appreciating her beauty. “It would make me immensely happy to feel that I had won you over, too, Nina.” She gave a little dt that ae sound quite natural, - OW. “Oh; me .
