Love’s Awakening a Steadfast Woman By Adele Garrison 1slen Expounds Some Comforting Thoories Concrrning Dicky's At- titnde Toward Edith Fairfax. ‘There was a sureness of convic- tion about Lillian's words which quieted my nerves and enabled me to obey ‘her command to relax and lis- ten to her explanation of the imi- tation jawel opisode as she saw it. I had unquestioning faith in her keenness of perception and accuracy of judgment. And she had spoken | Lut the truth when she said she thoreughly knew Dicky, Edith Fair- fax and the magazine game. That her version of the episode would be one to which 1 could give full cre- dence, T was sure. “I shall be glad to listen,” I told her. “That's more than most people she retorted, with a grin. try not to talk you to death. | , there are several things 10 be said.” She bent toward me and wagged an emphatic torefinger. “In the first place, she said, “I em holding no brief for Edith Fair- fax. She's getting harder and more unscrupulous every minute, that igme. Did you see that cool smirk vpon her face when you and I aught sight of her prinking in the imirror over those ornaments? I'd have liked to have spoiled that grin- \ing map of hers right there, but T remembersd that my parents taught me to be fair to a lady, no matt what the temptation, and T held out | 4y hard.” Her tone and pose were jrresisti- ile. Up through my misery came | =n involuntary chuckle which brought an answering comprehend- ing grin from my friend “You're rounding to provingly, then went on awppraisal of Fdith A Woman's Way “She'd have liked you to believe ‘hose things were real, a frightfully xpensive gift, and that Dicky had just bestowed it upon her. She ouldn't have cared what sinister rence you drew, just so she could drive into your soul the iron of jealousy and disbelief in your husband.” Lillian's voice had lost its light- ness, and flippancy. 1t was as sol- °mn as an old-fashioned preacher’s as she finished, and I shivered in- voluntarily at the picture she was drawing of the woman who once had taunted me with the hoast that shoe loved my husband far better than I could. | “That's right,” Lillian said, hreak- ing off her diatribe against Edith. “I want you to quake a bit, for 1 want you to know what you're up | against with ¢hat lady. Not that| sho has a hundred to one chance | she said ap- with her !and the offer of the firm with the Dicky-bird. If you and he were to part forever tomorrow, the Fairfax woman would not have a chance to grab him, not in a thous- {and years. But though I.think she knows that little thing, down in the lump of adamant she calls her heart. | yet that won't keep her tfrom pulling any little—or big—stunt she can | which would widen the breach ha- | tween you.” 1 scarcely heard her last words, so intent was I upon the assertion she had made concerning Dicky's in- | difference to Edith: “But,” T said tremulously. “‘didn’t you hear him when he answered her | protest against taking the orna- ments, and when he pulled her |around facing the mirror, and told | her to look at herself. His voice ! sounded so—so. e Dicky the Cavalier “So surgary affectionate,” Lilllan | finished, as my voice trailed away. “Of course it did. You ought to know by this time that the Dicky- bird can no more help softening his voice to that saccharine jelly when he speaks to a good looking woman, than he can keep from breathing. It doesn’t mean a darn thing.” I made the dreary mental com- ment that it was a long time since I had heard that partciular inflec- tion in my husband’s voice, but someway I knew that Lillian's theo- ry was the correct one, and that there had been nothing te cause me any uneasiness in that colloquy of my husband and his business part- ner. “There's one thing certain,” Lil- llan went on. “That yarn about the designer, and the ad and the story Edith is writing for the magazine, to give Dicky the jewelry is all true. T haven't listened to the Dicky-bird tell all kinds—true, half true; and made up from the whole cloth—all these years without knowing abso- lutely when he's lying. I know that side of him better than you do. And this one was the goods absolutely. “About the rest of it. I'm not so re,” she went on slowly. “That ith admired the things, and that Dicky good-naturedly dug down in his jeans and paid for one for her is most probable. He'd have done the same thing for anyhody work- ing with him, you know that. And then, no doubt Ede did a particular- Iy good piece of work on the stunt, and he thought she was entitled to one of the things. Dut that he planned the wholesale distribution he staged tonight, T very much douht. Incidentally, that was a dis- tinet tribute to yeu. old dear.” (Continued Tomorrow) ght, 1979, Newsnaper ure Service, Inc. Cop Spooky Tries to Bluff By Thornton W. Burgess When you are cornered, try blutf; Sometimes you'll find it is enough. —Spooky the Bcreech Owl Spooky the Screech Owl is a lit-| tle fellow. He is smaller, much | smaller, than he looks to be. You ' see, his feathers are very fluffy and he keeps them fluffed out. If you could see him without any feathers | at all, you would be surprised ts see how little he is. Spooky 1s not a coward. He may | be afrald, very mch afraid, but if | he s, he doesn't show it. Instead. | he tries to make you afraid. He | bluffs. Yes, sir, that is just what he | does. He pretends to be very fierce | and savage. He glares as only an | owl can g8 re. He snaps his bill and | sometimex hisses, and he strikes | with his big, sharp claws. Bpooky was a prisoner in Farm- er Brown's grain bin in the barn. He was a badly frightened prison- r. He had flown down in there to catch & young rat and the lid had fallen. For a while he forgot th. young rat. But presently when noth- ng happened, Spooky remembered the young rat. “I may as well ha a good meal anyway,” thought he, and proceeded to eat the young rat He had swallowed all but the tail. The tall was hanging from one co-- | ner.of his mouth, when he heard a soynd outsid= the grain bin Spooky’s heart gave a bound. He knew that sound. Footsteps were approaching. Now, Spooky had planned that the instant that 1id should be lifted, his would fly out. But it is one thing to plan and another thing to do what you have planned. The lid ol that grain bin was thrown open suddenly and it let light in with a rush. Tt was all so unexpected that all Spooky could do was to blink. You see, he conldn't adjust his eyes to the light so quickly. So, of conrae, he didn't fly out. Farmer Brown's Boy saw Spooky at once. Such 4 funny look as there was on the face rmer Rrowr vell. well Farmer Brown's who's here! What a doing in the grain hin, ¢ under the | sun did you get canght?” i Just then Farmer Rrown's Boy saw the tafl of a rat hanginz from Spooky’s mouth. He chnekled when %.a saw this. “So that's 111" said he “You saw that young rat in her and you couldn’t resist the temnta tion. Tt must ba that T left the 1id 1 wonder who closed it. Well seeing you're here, T think T'll tak you out.” Farmer Brown's Rov reached for Spooky. Spooky started to fly hut couldn’t get past the arm of Yarmer Brown's Boy. He dropped | tack. Then he fried to hint?. H. fnffed out all his feathers as Plack Pussy raiscs the hair her tail when she s frightens nery.

Each gown she is to dis- play in the regular collections is made especially for her. She is in and out of a hundred costumes a day. Eugh time her gown is order- ed she gets a sgall bonus. Smiles and patlence are made to pay, though the feet may be tired and | the back aching. | But the romance of the manne- | | quin's life, a legend which dies as | hard as the belict that the chorus girl leads an casy life, is not made| by the quiet existence of the aver- agé mannequin.

She formerly was Florence Towney, an American girl. Patou’s introduction of American mannequin’s in 1924 had a_lasting effect on the profession of model- ing clothes. The American heau- | ties were a success from the first, but they have two drawhacks. ae- cording to Monsicnr Paton. They require more pay than the Frensh girls and are hard to keep.
