TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1937. 1 Two's By MARGARET GUION The Characters Nina impulsively married David and is trying to forget her intense 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 small salary. Chapter 26 Encounter With Richard a happen to know that Challoner hasn’t a cent over $3,000 a ear,” Tony was saying. “I also appen to know that two of his biils last year, in London—a tailor on Bond street, and a sporting goods store—amounted to exactly that figure.” Three thousand dollars! And Honey’s ménage cost her at least bie anil The flickering light from the tall silver candelabras, shining on the} crystal, and the women’s jewels, and the bright shades of their eve- | ning gowns, gave an unreal air to | the scene, . like a magazine illus- | tration, of the setting fora play. | Still glowing from her encounter with Richard ... glowing with the; knowledge that he did love her...

Hester in white, a love with him, kept her from real- | Story there? Or did she deserve izing that it was love coloring her judgment. Well, that was that. Nina went on up to her room, and devoted every ounce of her considerable skill, to making her- self look as lovely as possible for the evening. She came hurrying down the great stairway, in little skips. Her lettuce green evening dress was of silk net, with taffeta polka dots supliqued onto it in charm- ing profusion. It floated after her like a foamy wave, he | to catch up with her; and her fair curls bobbed up, and then bobbed back into place again, like the good lit- tle curls they were. ‘ “Nina...” It was a low murmur. At the curve of the landing, Richard was waiting for her... loitering at the window, with a cigarette in his hand. so as not to attract notice. “Nina...” front of her. -. Sweet!” “Richard!” Or had she said, “darling?” “Why did you do it, Nina? Why 4 . loving me... .?” “Please... I'm happy. Let me— go, Richard.” She didn’t mean, down the Stairs; she meant, let her go free— of him. “You don’t mean that, darling?” “T—must.” “You don’t want to have this thing over between us, any more than L Nina... precious, it needn't have been. You andI,..” “Hush. We mustn't talk this way. Richard. Please.” “‘“Mustn’t—you talk as though ta could be turned on and off at will!” “Don't come so close. We must turn it off, Richard.” ‘We... can’t.” mi ‘Someone is coming.” ‘We love each other.” “Help me, Richard . . . darling. Help me to be good. “T... can’t, Nina.” “Someone is coming!” ae Weaving A Romantic Plot ““* ‘HERE were 12 for dinner that night, in the spacious white- walled dining-room. They were going on, later, to the Hunt ball. There was the inevitable talk of horses, and the recent meet, and more horses, “Dirty big brute, that bay of Corning’s. All but jumped on top of me three separate times this morning. ...” a ho grass for grazing like a mixture of Timothy, Kentucky blue grass, and red and white Dutch clover...” “I hear Payson's considering | “What Next’ for the Maryland.” “Don't like her,” remarked Carl, vtolos t a good shaking? Was she capable of loving—anyone? At her left, old Colonel Selfridge, the weather-beaten M.F.H.; and Lilith—so unlike her name—in her inevitable black lace, straightfor- ward and friendly, with a trace of powder on the end of her nose, as a concession to the festive occa- sion. ne oper ppaliqnen a’s fantasy play, stopped there, and became a dream...a wicked, lovely dream of being free to roam the world with him, never, never to leave his side. It was shattered by Carl, beside her at the head of the table... one of the players she had forgot- ten to analyze , .. ruddy cheeked and handsome, in his full dress hunt “color.” Could he be happy, with queer, wraithlike Hester for a wife? He said: “Dreaming, Nina?” And she said: “Yes,” without blushing. The Sound Of Footsteps HEY all drove over to the ball shortly before 11. David groaned, as he got in a car beside Nina. Groggy with fatigue, his muscles aching from the unaccustomed exercise of the morning, he contemplated. the ap- proaching festivities, and the fur- ther necessity of heaving his poor body about, with consternation. His thoughts, he told her, strayed continually to the warm fastness of his comfortable bed. Would Nina be a lamb and sit out with him, from time to time, when he simply couldn't carry on? And it was because Nina was a lamb—a willing lamb, as a matter | of fact—that they found them- selves watching the dancing from the sidelines, in the early hours of the morning. t ball was being held in if huge houses, of which there is at east one in every well- to-do community, and which is variably called “The Manor,” or ‘sT'he Hall.” Al ‘This one was “The Manor,” and Nina and David were sitting insthe half-gloom of the conservatory, * from which they could view the scene.
