PAGE FOUR SS The Characters Nina impulsively married Pavid, trying to escape her in- tense love for her stepfather, Richard, the charming, well- tailored stepfather, shamelessly talks of love to Nina. Honey, Nina’s gay, plump, Youthful mother, is wild about Richard, her newly acquired hus- band. David, a bright young auto salesman, adores Nina and strives to make her happy on his smalt salary. ‘Chapter 25 Gossip About Richard G».

Well, sir, I declare, I think we've developed a cross- bred pack, uniform as to type, that is the equal of anything in this country!” “I think you're right there, Carl.” Tony Leeds was enthusias- fic. “... Never seen anything like Richard, from the depth of his leather arm-chair asked: “What's the number of your young entry? eesabout 14 couple?” known as a sportsman, on both sides of the Atlantic; and he had been a good friend of the Staffords for years.

And, by the way, your young David is as nice a chap as I’ve met up with in many a day!” “You bet he is Tony.” “And guts ... God! That fellow’s got guts, Nina.” “Hasn’t he? 1 was inordinately proud today.” She took a deep breath. “And Richard, Tony . . Honey’s frightfully happy with him ... You'd met before, hadn't you?” “Yes. All over Europe. Tell me, had either of you... had Honey known him long, before she . . .?”. Nina laughed. “You should have seen young Day! There’s a horse- man for you.” “Just ... and speaking of young entry,” Carl beamed at David, “you should have seen young Day, here, Hester! There’s a horseman for you!” “I was—troubled, when you went out, Mr. Day. These friends of Carl's are a hard riding lot. Tad-| , mire your courage.” “Oh, I was scared enough, some- times, all right . . . but Lord, I could get enthusiastic about the sport!” Richard remarked, with a smile, that his enthusiasm alone, had carried him over a good many ob- stacles already. But David was ready for him. “Enthusiasm—or horsemanship, I oe didn’t I?” rybody laughed. Nina said: “! thought you were a ener darling, at that last post and rail, near the entrance to Scarborough wood!” “It would hfive been too bad,” murmured Richard, surveying his “Gf he had had a bit of bad tight at the last!” id luck . .. nonsense!” Sut in , in his hearty way taking the sting from his words. “He ap- — the bar with his: horse nded, and not a leg under him to jump with!” avid said: “I'd probably agree with you, if I knew what you were talking about, sir . . . but I still : ‘I got over, didn’t x ere was more laughter and} ribbing of Carl, this time, and} tly Hester's cool voice broke | “An hour ‘til dinner, people} «..” And the group began to break | up.

Tony lit a cigarette with: his steady hands, that were the color of an Indian's. do you mean: Nina’s heart was beating a little faster. “Three weeks. Just like that, eh?” Tony seemed to deliberate for a minute, then he said: “Damned attractive fellow .. .” and started to chat about other things. The Prize Sponger FTER a bit, Nina went upstairs to dress; but she discovered she'd left her powder in the pock- et of her polo coat, and went downstairs again, to get it. Tony’s voice sounded from the library. “Personally, Carl, I like him ..+.» but he’s got the reputation of being the prize sponger of all’ time. He has a positive talent for procuring invitations, and then drawing them out to unheard of lengths . . . only he has such a damn nice personality that his victims don’t realize he’s playing them for a sucker.” Nina couldn't help hearing, as she walked to the hall closet. “,..For example: he and I went on a weekend visit to the young Far] of Waring’s shooting-box, in October, one year ... At Easter, on the Riviera, I ran into him again—still with the Earl, just a continuation of the “weekend!” Carl's voice murmured: “By, golly, that is talent for you, isn'# it, Tony?” Nina looked through the coats, and found her own, She knew that they were speak- ing of Richard; and she thought: ‘How absurd! Why I don’t care | » - I don't care if he's ruined a thousand virgins and murdered his grandmother fou her life insur- ance ... I shall still love him!” As she passed through the hall again, Tony was saying something that made her stop and iisten. (Copuright, 1937.

In Public Schools Here Celebration of Education Week and Open House was carried on in the Key West public schools for the first time, last week. Soon after school opened, Prof. W. C. Duncan of Harris School enlisted the aid of the teachers and| the Parent-Teachers Association, and set about making plans for the occasion, That those plans were anything but successful, no one can doubt, it is stated. There was much interest and a great deal accomplished. Approxi- mately 185 parents visited the school on Open House Day and a greater understanding and closer relations grew between home and school.
