New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problems of a Girl Wife

7 elaborate carelessness turning to
| Carlotta, Il suppose Anne's Can
| teen friends don't know her social
world. l didn't mean to bore you.'
You couldn't. I'm interested in
everyone" replied Carlotta, brush
| ing Vars dart aside without SEEM
| ing to notice the prick. Then she
| turned to Tom. 1T isn't customary
| to congratulate the brides folks,
| but the girl who gets my young
| partner marries a prince"
"Oh, you're in business with Mrs.
| Harrison's family" said Val smil-
| ing, as if that explained the pres
| ence of this alien creature.
You haven't accounted for me
as yet, Mrs. Cosby" said Tony chal-
lengingly.
If a woman had made this re-
mark it might have been catty.
Coming from Tony at this stage of
| the game l knew it was meant
only to save Carlotta from the in
suits she was either big enough to
ignore or too big to get. Val
| fiicked her amber eyes across
| Tony's face and held them to his
! for a moment. Then she turned
her head and looked mockingly at
me DetOfe Sne replleu.
Are you easily accounted for?"
Walls such a child - impetuous,
| hot -blooded, self-willed under that
| Japanese lacquer of hers-don't let
that Englishman of yours twist her
around his finger" muttered Tom
! close to my ear.
l wanted to burst out laughing.
! So this was the mental picture of
hnr vh
nshing the evidently infatuated
Tom. Why? After the first, normal,
human pang of chagrin at the way
/ she had effaced me from his con-
sciousness, l had a sudden feeling
| of gratitude toward Val for step
| ping in between me and the always
! unwelcome attentions of Tom
, Mason. The egotism with which he
! displayed his change of feelings
was in taste as bad as the impu-
! dence with which he had showed
! his previous feelings.
But what did Val want of Tom :?
Did she like him? Was she consol-
| ing herself with him for Jim's loss
of interest? Was she simply the
| sort of woman who must have a
masculine satellite or two? Or had
| she a deeper motive in cultivating
Tom Mason?
Walls motives didn't reveal them
selves clearly. There were mo-
ments when I felt that even she
didn't know exactly what kind of
| a game she was playing, or that
| perhaps it was complicated for her
! by wearing desires.
"Why don't you all come down
| to my place and have a little
| bridge?" she suggested suddenly
Anne wants to learn and this is a
wonderful time. for we'd both have
to sit up long. lonely hours for our
bubbles if our good friends didn't
entertain us. You play-don't you
Mss-er Sturgeon?
There was calculated insolence
in the way she turned to Carlotta
Sturges and mispronounced her
name.
I'm taking my two little Can
| teen workers home and admonish-
| ing them to run along to bed when
| they get there" said Tony, break
| ing in almost sternly.
I was sure he disliked Val as
much as he liked Carlotta. Some
| how it gave me a queer feeling of
satisfaction.
"All right. Mister Tyrant." re-
piled Val. smiling out of narrowed
eyes. But would you give us a
lift homeward bound, too? We
| TAXED out, and I've seen the Nor
rey's limousine. So you can under
stand why luxury-loving Val begs

! Tony acquisced gracefully, but
