itself felt by all, yet few know Of this

by her pledges to accept the leagues
decision on Mosul unless the Turks
also "toed the line" If not for Amery,
England would not be clinging to
Mosul. He forced the Singapore naval

Amery's brilliant oratory which de-
feated Winston Churchill's after 1T

You can not Gloria answered
seating herself on one corner of the
kitchen table. But don't take too
many chances, May. Men don't stay
in love forever with wives who run
around the house in curl papers and
cold cream. They all fall for a pretty
face"
May rolled the struggling, yipping
Nah Jong in a towel before she re-
piled.
No" she said then. You're all
wrong, Glory Gregory! When a man
really cares about you he loves you
just as much when you're ugly and
blue and have a cold in the head. ..

marcel-wave, a pound Of makeup
and your vampiest clothes,. =. That's
the way John cares about me. He

Gloria shook her head.

her head on one side. Jim can't see

"N-no," Gloria faltered.
Looks as If she was giving us
the hinky-dink, doesn't it?" May
asked. Does she know you've been
skipping around with Wayburn?"
NO" Gloria began. Then she
stopped. She remembered that she
had been out walking with Wayburn
one day when they had met Mrs.
Wing.
Yes, she's seen me with STAN"
she said.
And she started the story that
you were out riding with Wayburn
the day you ran your car into the
ditch" May burst out excitedly. TN
bet she's put you in the same class
with me and Jim. She thinks I'm
terrible. She doesn 'taeven speak to

She scrambled up from the floor.
I tell you what, Glory! Well
throw a party ourselves she cried.
I'll get some Of the old gang to-
gether for this afternoon! Eth, wot?"
Fair enough! Let's do it, Clio
ria was delighted. I'm starved for
a party"
May sat down at the telephone in
DR.. Johns study.
Gloria took Nah Jong into the
living-room where a wood fire was
burning in the CRATE. She rubbed
the little beast until ne was dry and
fluffy The minute she set him down
on the floor he scurried away to
find May.
He was at her heels when she
came into the room.
Il couldn't round up very many
people," she said disconsolately. Il
guess most Of the girls are going to
Mrs. Wings party. But I got Ann
Somers. And Jim is going to bring
out a couple of boys from his office.
Awfully nice fellows. 1 told them
all to come for lunch. -..Will you

Ann Somers was making CHINA
mon toast in the kitchen. She was a
shy little widow with mouse-colored
hair and big gray eyes. She was
very popular with men, She let
them all make love to her and then
she cried about it afterward. Appar-
emily it made a great hit with them.
Jim Carewe called her the red

Ann, you're some kid" he was
saying to her when Gloria came into
the kitchen. You know doggoned
well that you're not going 10 marry
Ted Sawyer. Why don't you tell
him so. instead of letting him dangle
in the wind?"
Ann went on buttering her toast.
She hadn't seen Gloria come into the
kitchen.

Gloria coughed and cleared her
throat.

way they did! Gloria felt like shak.

She banged her packages down on
the kitchen table and went into the
living room.
May was dancing the Texas Tom
my for Ted Sawyer and Jim Collins,
the two nice young statesmen from
Jims office.
Presently Jim came in with a tray
of horses necks."
Ann says lunch is ready" he
said. Isn't this a good party,
boys?"
Everyone but Gloria seemed to
think it was a good party. She
couldn't dance because of her ban
daged arm and shoulder. She didn't
want her horses neck or her
cigaret. She felt blue" somehow
At 4 o'clock she went upstairs and
got her hat
"Goodby." she said to May. as
she and Jim danced past the living
room door where she was standing.
Just let me sneak away without
saying 'goodby' to the others. They
won't miss me-"

pulled his lacquer smoking stand
up beside his chair and filed his pipe.
1t was a little ort-stemmed brier
pipe that smelled like a bonfire of
autumn leaves.
He puffed for a while in silence.
