By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1928 SWEETHEARTS Author of “My Son’s Sweethearts,” “Confessions of a Wife,” Etc. Copyright, 1928, by Central Press Association, Inc. READ THIS FIRST: Lynda Fenton, a singularly inno- cent and lonely girl, is private sec- retary to Ralph Armitage. Her father, a drunkard, tells her that her mother deserted them, and that all women have their price, Lynda meets Emily Andrews, who cherishes a secret fondness for David Kenmore, Lynda's com- panion from childhood. Emily plots against Lynda from the very begin- | ning. David tells Lynda he loves her, but she decides she doesn’t want to be in love with any man. David is away on a trip. Lynda's father, too, deserts hcr; and Claire Stanhope comes to live with her. Claire tells of innocent| love for Fred Blaque, a married man. { Ralph Armitage pays Lynda art- ful compliments, and Lynda adopts | the use of a lipstick to hide her in- nocence. i Lynda and Emily Andrews heen invited to June Challer’ party, and Emily takes Lynda shopping. Arriving home, Lynda finds Fred Blaque in the house, and hears Claire entreating him to stay away. She tells Lynda she expects a scandal and that Ralph Armi-| tage's father will discharge her. | NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY | CHAPTER 111 GIRLISH CONFIDENCES Claire Stanhope wiped her eves when Lyn said to her: “Ralph Ar-| mitage's father must be a queer old duck.” “He isn't, Lyn,” answered Claire. “He's only a very unhappy old man. “Through his silly idea of family | pride, he egged Ralph on to marry | the girl who is now insane, simply because he thought her family was as good as his own; consequently, Ralph makes his marriage, although it is very tragic, a perpetual scan- dal. Some day Ralph Armitage is going to fall desperately and wholly in love with some girl instead of flirting around, and then, if he cannot buy the girl ‘with love or money,’ look out for the fireworks! “You'll not go back on me, will you, dear?” continued Claire, who aw that Lynda had paid very lit- tle attention to what she had been saying. “I've gone through the list of all my friends, and it seems to me they have all turned me down on account of Fred, but I think if you would speak to Ralph, I would have some chance with the Armi- tages. I know it is asking a great deal, but will you do this for me, Lynda? Will you get Ralph Armi- tage's ear, and talk it over with him?” “Of course I will, dear. But be fore I do this, I have to know ex. actly what you want me to do. Do you love Fred Blaque?” “I thought I did, once—perhaps ¥ do now, after a fashion,” she said, “but I don‘t love him enough to go | through scandal for his sake. We | women do so many things in this life, dear, and we say to ourselves while doing them, that we will not care what people say; and yet, aft- erward, we do care. I don't think I could stand a scandal, even to k:mp. Fred's love, or rather, I do not think he could stand scandal for me. You see, it would hurt his two chil- dren. Suppose I decided to stand all that everyone would say of me, and suppose that Fred cared enough for me to do his share; we, per- haps, could go through with it, marry, and in time could adjust our- selves, s0 that we could be happy in our new lives, But when those girls grow older—both children are | girls, you know—it would embar- rass, if not shame, them to have some one decline to meet me, be- cause their father had married the | co-respondent in his divorce case.” | Clairc began to sob again. “Don’t cry for that rotter, Claire, | He doesn’t really love you, aid | have 's big » iberately hunt | to sce whether it will make him for- “Don’t cry for that rotter, of making himself ap- eyes of the woman in the way pear well in the he love: “How do you know You never have met many men.” “But I've read a great many books, and that's the sum and sub- stance of most misunderstandings and most romances.” “I can't understand why Fred should deliberately tell me an un- truth about that young woman. He knows that T would understand.” “That you will understand is just what he doesn’t know — but I do know this, or rather I believe this: | A man may be so homesick and | lonely for one girl, that he will de- upon another one, that, Lyn? Claire,” sald NEW BRITAIN MACHINE SENDS SWANSON ABROAD Business Trip to Eurove Will Take Lynda Him to Important Commercial Ficlds David O. Swanson of 738 East street will sail from New York on August 8 on a business trip to Eu- rope for the New Britain Machine Co. He expects to be absent for six or cight months and will visit Eng- land, wce, German get the girl he truly loves.” Lynda said this Claire’s sobs t N hecause truly believed it. Then a sudden | thought struck her, | “I'I tell yon what I'll do. Tl talk the whole matter over, as you | asked me to do, with Mr. Armitage, | tomorrow. You know he is a friend | of Fred Rlaque, If he will not hush up everything for you, he certainly will do it for I L Anyway, we will get to the bottom of the whole | thing. If that Blaque man really cares for vou, as he savs he does, Mr. Armitage will be the to know it.” “Lynda, Fred Blague would not | tell anything about himself and me to anyone on carth. It's only women who confide in cach ofther. T'm not ! sure that when you tell Ralph Ar- mitage all of this, he will not he aquite disgusted to think I've told my tronbles to von." “Don’t he too sure, Claire. of course T know nothing ahout it, for I nevee had anyone to confide in ex- cept David. But T know this, that I never told David anything more of my troubles, my hopes, and my aspirations, than David did me, 1 think, dear, that the longing for sympathy is quite as rampant in more to stop | one Lynda, putting her arms around her. “Why, I just saw him in a | roadster as I was coming home, and | ve had a girl with him that Emily Andrews said was Pamilla Sheston. When she bade him good-bye, she ! bent over and kissed him in sight | of everyone in the street.” Claire's eyes opened wide, and | her tears dried quickly. | “That burns me up,” she angrily. “Why, Fred BRlaque has just been telling me that he had come to me straight from his cluh, where he had been so lonely and homesick for me, that he risked my being angry with him for coming | Rere. Do you know, Lyn, that he almost had me feeling sorry for him hefore you came in? I ought realize that he never tells truth.” “Perhaps that is a sign he loves you,” said Lyn. “A man scldom lets such a little thing as the truth stand | said, | to the THE DAILY POOR PA BY CLAUDE CALLAN “There’s no use of parents tryin’ to make a girl forget a boy that she's crazy to marry.

With- ont giving her a chance to say she could not help her, Lynda brought out her gown, saving: “T shall love to go to this pasty, for you know I've never been to a real party in all my life.

P. in Favor of Tari Smoot Says Washington, July 28 (®—Repub- lican approval of a revision of the tariff act of the 7ist congress seem- ed assured today with an announee- ment by Senator §moot, Utah, chair- man of the senate finance committee, in favor of such a move. Senator Smoot was chairman of the platform committee at the re- publican national convention and speaks with some authority for his party, but he took pains to say that Le has not discussed the question with Herbert Hoover, the party's presidential nominee, Smoot declared principally for re- vision of the tariff rates on farm products. He wants increased duties believing the agricultural import problem has grown beyond the pres- ent tariff act even with its flexible provision permitting the president to make 50 per cent increases in duties. Solve Farm Problem “That will go far to solve the farm problem,” Smoot declared. year we imported more than $2,500,- 000,000 in food stuffs, There is your farm problem.” However, if tariff revision is taken up, Smoot said he would favor a complete overhauling of the present act and believed some reductions would be in order. He did not specify the commodities he had in mind. Tariff legislation must star in the house, but Smoot's declaration to- day are believed to forecast an ad- ministration position which in turn ‘would be pursued by party leaders lin the house. Nothing in the way of tariff legis- lation will be attempted at the short session beginning next December, This would iturn the problem over to the new portation for all who make applica- | i e injured by an automobile, | congress to be elected next fall but which will not come into regular ses- sion until a year from next Decem- ber.
