Maggie said With me scoIn iots see, if I make the pastry myself, l think we could do 1t for about thirty dollars"
 Well, I'm thinking of having a little party next Friday night Gloria told her, 50 so ahead and make your plans"
 She spent the rest of the morn ing at the telephone. She ordered six dozen pink roses, and as many daffodlis. She called up May Sey- mour 10 ask her the name of the tazz orchestra she had had at her New Year party last year.
 What do you think you're tear ing off - regular party" May asked slangily. Well, you want to remember one thing when you're getting your crowd together Any party is absolute zero In en- tertainment to me unless Jim Car cwo Is there. Get me, eareF
 "I do," Glory answered. "Ill call him right up and invite him.
 She did.
 She wondered whether she ought 10 ask Lola and Bill Hough. Bill was @ good mixer and heaps of fun, of course.
 But Lola was such trump. She wasn't pretty any more she wouldn't take a cocktail Be- sides, she watched Bill like cat for fear he might happen 10 nave A. little fun. And she would tele- phone her house two or three times during the/ evening to see 1T tne ne children we're oil right .. and bore everybody to death telling what cute things they said and did!
 No. Gloria made up her mind not to ask the Houghs to her party.
 As she started up the stairs to Dicks room, Gloria heard Miss Briggs coming down. :.
 Work all done?" Gloria asked eaiIy. She was happy HOW that she knew she was going to have her party. Everyone had accepted even to the Calls, the most hlgh- brow of Dicks high-brow friends. The Calls went to Europe every wear or two, and Myra Gail spoke of the Avenue de POpera as II IL were Main street.
 Gloria went to the door to say goodby to Miss Briggs. As she watched her go down the street, she remembered the day she had watched Stanley Wayburn walk swiftly away.
 She laughed ;. She would ask Stan to her party
 She telephoned his family hotel the Hotel Burritt.
 "Tbie is Gloria Gregory" she said softly when she heard his voice at the other end of the wire, I'm having a few friends in Saturday night, and I want you to come Will you""
 There was silence for long mln- ute.
 You know I couldn't get there unfil after the show v stan voice replied.
 'IT expect you about half-past eleven, then. Don't forget" Gloria said. ' e, .1.tiioa ,jtl, excitement as she ran upstairs to DICK.
 "Hurrah!" she cried, opening the door of their room. "Everybody can come. And I've got everything ordered for Friday night, even the iazz band! Oh, it's going to be a knockout of a party ."
 Do you mean to say you've gone ahead and asked people here for a party Friday night" Dick exclaim- ! ed. Why, you don't even know that I won't be in bed with pneu- monia by then. I'm as sick as a dog, now. Ask Maggie to make me some more hot lemonade, will you I'm going to take hot bath ana go back to bed.'
 Dick was much better Friday night.
 'I want you to go down In the kitchen as soon as you're dressed and mix the punch, darling" Gloria Tilted. "The pineapple juice and all the rest of the things for 1t are ready in big crooks in the pantry And the washtub is on the floor III the corner. ,.
 Dick asked, battling with his shirt l studs.
 What do you mean, washtubT That's what we're going to make : the punch in," his wife laughed
