MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1940 eloved YESTERDAY: Sue, convinced that marriane is a partnership, tells Bob she intends to do every- thing to help Patsy and Allen make a success of their marriage. Patsy responds, hoping to get something out of it. Chapter 16 Patsy’s Bitterness ‘HERE was an embarrassed lit- tle silence. Sue’s cheeks burned; not because of the broadness of Patsy’s hint but because Barbara had heard it. “We'll go shopping soon, Patsy, and see what can be done about the gaps in your wardrobe,” she promised. After Patsy had departed, Bar- bara reproached her criend. “That means, I suppose, that you'll take her downtown and out- fit her completely! Sue, why do you let yourself be imposed on like that?” “Oh, 1 shan’t buy her much. ‘Allen would be hurt if I die. An evening gown to take the place of the one Marie appropriated, and maybe something smart for after- noons.” “Well—” Barbara shrugged— “considering the way she treated ou while you lived with Allen, do think you’re an angel to her.” Sue yielded to an impulse to confide in this sympathetic lis- tener. “I don’t like her a bit better than I did, Babs! In fact, there are times when it takes all the self-control I have merely to endure hei sel- fishness, her greed; but I can al- ways stop myself from saying hor- rid things to her by remembering that Allen’s happiness is in her hands. If I can make somethinz of her in the end, it is Allen who will benefit.” Babs murmured something about a silk purse. Her young host- ess, secretly convinced that her task was futile but stubbornly de- termined to keep at it, sighed and changed the subject. The first winter of her marriage passed Eaclely and pleasantly for Sue Trenton. If the passionate love she had hoped to feel for Bob as his wife did not develop a very rea] and warm affection did. It was impossible not to be fond of a person who was as generous, as light-hearted, as_ concerned with the happiness of others as was Bob, she thought contentedly. Believing herself to be funda- mentally cold, she urged herself to the greatest possible response to his caresses, to a wifely care for his comfort, an interest in his busi- ness affairs which deceived Bob utterly. Again and again he re- minded her triumphantly of her earlier fears. “You see, you did fall in love h me after all!” His wide smile disclosed his big white teeth. “I believe you were just fooling me all along, you little fraud! Tan- me, weren’t you—just to idiotic madness over ou succeeded! I'm the besotted husband.” s with a w: It was a beautiful house. She was youthfully proud of her dignity and importance as the wife of one of the town's richest men. It was fun to be able to dash down to Kansas City for a new evening coat, if she could not find anything = the shops at home to please or She had always been interested helping those less fortunate ne was, and now she could on concert tickets for im- poverished young musicians, send flowers lavishly to the frail old ladies who hungered for them, slip a hundred dollar bill into a plain envelop and mail it anonymously to a young mother just out of the hospital and worrying about how the bills were to be paid. Bob aided and abetted her in these pleasant charities. He turned @ generous sum over to her every month for the purpose, It was Sue, as a matter of fact, who imposed a definite limit on their expendi- tures. in Sense Of Unease “WE MUSTN'T overdo it, dear. It’s as bad to err one way as another. Besides, in these precari- ous days who knows what might pepeco? The business might ail— “Not it!” was the careless an- swer. “I've got sense enough to stick to the policy which built it up in the first place. That’s the reason that most rich men’s sons fail, I think, Sue; they get swelled heads, think their dads were too conservative, and begin to splurge: and first thing they know they're bankrupt. Not I! I figure Dad was a good psychologist to appraise the needs of the average man and woman when it comes to footwear: and I'm going right along as he started the Treadons. “The stock-holders would like me to move East to live,” he con- tinued thoughtfully. “I suppose we shall have to—sometime. But not yet, Sue! 1 love this town, ['m crazy about the house. I’m always afraid somebody else will like our location so well that a building boom will start up out here. Never mind, they can’t come very close te us, I've seen to that.

Ac- cording to the story told by the BY LOUISE PLATT HAUCK enough land all around us to keep our precious isolation.” Maggie had taken it for granted | that she was to ‘ive with the young Trentons. Sue, however, had been unwilling for Allen to be left to Patsy’s bad management, the mer- cies of an untrained servant. It had required much coaxing to in- duce the old woman to stay on in .|the apartment; and every so often { on her day off she came to see her beloved Miss Sue, grumbling and complaining with the privilege of one who considered herself part of the family. “Pretty goings on these days,” she announced darkly on one of these visits. “I bet Mr. Allen don’t know about the drinkin’ an’ smok- in’ that we have most every after- noon. I been waitin’ for the first time Mrs. Allen asks me to fix up them little drinks she calls cock- tails. I'd right quick tell her I ain’t nobody’s bar-tender! But if she don’t do ’em herself, the men do. All she asks of me is to put the glasses on a tray and et out the ice-cubes.” “Never mind, Mag dear,” Sue said coaxingly. “Lots of people serve cocktails now instead of tea. Mrs. Allen is just keeping up with the rest.” Maggie looked over the rims of her spectacles. “Whyn’t she ever have any ladies in to help drink ’em, then? It’s men—two or three men every afternoon she’s home. Your father would turn in his grave if he knew it.” “Better three men than one, Mag dear. Safety in numbers, you know.” But these talks invariably left Sue with a sense of unease about her brother. He was working too hard, she knew, making more money for Pats to spen’ on foolish clothes, and the occasional elabo- rate dinner party she gave; and now on liquor, it seemed—unless her guests furnished their own drinks. ‘Spoiled To Death’ ae was nobody’s fool. He must know almost to the last detail what was going on. Sue knew his long patience; knew too that when it was finally exhausted Allen would be through. He never threatened nor made a scene; but when the moment came that he could stand no more, it would be physically impossible for him to continue in the role of indulgent husband. Toward spring, Sue determined to try stern remonstrance with her sister-in-law. If the privileges of the Trenton hospitality were withdrawn from the luxury-lov- ing Pats, she might reform for selfish reasons when an appeal to her duty toward her husband left her cold. “Come out and spend the day with me, Patsy,” she telephoned one morning. at is, unless you're all dated up. I though. last night I might have a cold coming on. I think I’ve headed it off, but Bob wanted me to stay in all day.” “I had a halfway engagement—” Pats hesitated. “But I'll break it, of course. Glad to do anything I can for you, Sue. I know it must be deadly dull so far out from town!” Sue smiled but let the challenge pass unnoticed. “I'll send the car in for you then, and telephone Bob to bring Allen out to dinner.” “Let's go up into my own sittin, room,” she proposed, after she hi greeted her caller. She knew Pats would like that. It was not every- one who was allowed in what Sue called her private retreat. It was a sunny room adjoining her bed- room, filled with flowering plants and just now especially inviting with a small fire of applewood snapping on the old brass andirons. Bob was forever discovering some attractive adaition to its furnish- ings. Today Sue had a new Dres- den group to show, the arch ex- pression of the small lady ricu- lously evident on the tiny face. “Isn't she darling? And don’t you love the man’s air of conceited protectiveness? As if without him she couldn’t exist a single hour? Bob’s agent in New York got it at an auction. It came yesterday, pees as carefully as if it were lown eggshells.” “How much longer is the honey- moon going to last?” Pats inquired disagreeably. “Bob Trenton spoils you to death, Sue. Wait till the kids les to come, and he'll change all at. _“I wish they would come!” Sue sighed a little. “Twenty-six next time, and my bad little boys and girls obstinately refuse to send out announcement cards.” “All very well for you, my dear! You won't have to get up nights with them. or fix their bottles, and change their horrid little clothes, You'll have a smart Eng- lish nurse, and the babies will be brought down to show callers, and that’s all motherhood will mean to you!” The bitterness in her tone caused Sue to glance at her quickly. “Yes, it’s true! I thought Allen would have told you by now. When you telephoned this morning I thought you wanted to lecture me about teking better care of myself. Heaven knows that’s the burden of Allen's song these days!” “Why, Patsy! Why, my blessed child! I hadn’t an idea. I'm so glad! A baby of your own. When, Pats, when?” Continued tomorrow officers, Donovan is an old of- fender—this time caught in the act.

JR., Island City Sports Writer Tonight at the High School Gymnasium the Island City Bas- ketball League’s strongest team, Lions Club, will meet the fratern ity Kappa Sigma from the Uni versity of Miami, game to star at 8:45 o'clock. As a preliminary game of the evening a regular scheduled [league contest will be played be- tween the Army five and _ the CCC cagers. This fracas will be- gin at 7:45 o’clock. No passes are good at these games. Miami Beach Saturday night at the High School Gym, the varsity squad, under the able coaching of John Offutt, met defeat at the hands of the Miami Beach Typhoons by a score of 25-33. During the first three quarters of the game, the Conchs’ defense was not able to hold the invaders in check and a lead was piled up on them. When, in the last quar- ter of the fracas, the local cagers started to tighten down time was too short and they could not over- come their opponents’ lead. Considering the brand of ball played from all angles on the sidelines, it was the cleanest played here and the best show of sportsmanship this year. With Sgt. Solt of the Army refereeing and Bob Saunders umpiring the game was well officiated. jand a group of teachers and stu- dents from Miami Beach High.
