Mother Gregory caiis 70 scold Gloria

NOW Go on Writ THE STORY
As soon as Dick came into the
n room Mother Gregory rose 20 so.
She gathered her furS around her
shoulders and adjusted the Veil on
her imposing hat.
II Just ran In to have little chat
with Glory" she said. smiling As
pleasantly as any afternoon caller,
-But I must run along. now Per
haps you1i come along and tuck me
INTO my car. RichariR'
Gloria watched her tall husband
and his mother walk down 90 the
eurhstonc They stood talking be-
side Mother Gregory's car,
About ms. III betr Gloria said 10
herself.
Why had Mother Gregory stopped
scoldlnE her the minute Dick came
into the room, Glory wondered,
Was n because she didn't want 10
upset Dick and hts delicate stomach
by a QUARREL
or was II because she didn't want
him 10 know that she was interior
ing In Glory's affairs In the
running OF her house7
n that was the case, Glory made
up her mind that she'd tell Dick just
what Mother Gregory had said TO
her! Shed let him know
hat his mother couldn't come into
their house and try 10 arrange their
lives for them
The very idea OF her trying TO tell
Glory whether she was 10 serve hard
liquor or lemonade az her parties! II
was none Of her business!
Your mothers Just like the
ruothers.ir Jaw In the funny papers,
she said when Dick came into the
house. shes been trying to tell me
I shouldn't have had cocktails at las,
nights party. Gosh. Ia hate TO sit
thru one Of her bone-dry dinners.
They mus, be chastity
Dick didn't answer her. He stood
watching her futile efforts 10 wipe
some stains from the hall mirror.
Here. give me that dustcrr' he
said finally. You shiny upstairs
and make the beds. I'll clean up
down here. I'm the worlds
best parlor maid. II you only knew it-'
Glory stood watching him for a
minute or two.
IN HIS own way, Dick vas quite
coed looking. she thought.
He was tall and thin. And there
was an eager look in his face i.
in the quick movements OF his body
that made him seem splendid
~ alive.
=. OF course he wasn't hand
some. like Stan wayburn.
Gloria knew every detail OF Stan
wsyburn by heart The cleft in his
chin, the polished black hair. his ice
blus eyes and his thrilling
way OF looking at you.
Dick came toward her across the
living room, showing the vacuum
sweeper ahead OF him as he came.
He left broad dusty streaks on tho
rug behind him.
Glory laughed.
Gosh. but you're doing a bum job
Of house cleaning she said. Dick
dropped the sweeper and caught her
in his arms to kiss away her laugh
ter.
mol Nor Glory cried With all
her strength she pushed him away
from her and ran upstairs.
