arnful-to take home. They would
help to impress Beryl,
The two witnesses to whom Prem
tiss had telephoned from the jew
eler's accompanied thena up town
for lunch. They were young men
employed at the hotel where Prem
tiss had been staying.
At the end of the meal the maitre
d'hotel brought in a tiny gem of
a wedding cake, decorated with real
old-fashioned garden pinks placed
delicately among the icing flowers.
Prentiss had ordered the cake for
just the two of them, but Irene
was again disappointed. Why
couldn't he have had something that
they could take home for her mother
to show to all her friends?
She looked at the cake, and barely
suppressed a sniff. That thing!
Everyone would laugh at it. Why,
even Clara Dannigel, whose father
was only night Waterman on a
North Shore estate. had a cake a
foot high. with bell on it and arti-
fetal orange , blossoms that could
hardly be told from real.
IRENE lowered her face and
Il looked at her rings. The engage
ment ring affronted her anew and
she felt her temper slipping, but it
never would do to show how she
felt.
She had sense enough to real
ize this and both Prentiss and the
maitre d'hotel were waiting for
some expression Of approval from
her
She swallowed hard and looked
up at them Its lovely" she said
with enough feeling to satisfy
them. Perhaps they were both so
sure that she would like the beau
tiful little cake that they did not
weigh her praise at ALL
The maitre d'hotel tasted the
cake with them and then went back
to tell his confreres that "the young
Monsieur Gaylord had married the
most charming young lady in thees
/ world"
ct was Gallo and gallant exag-
geration, but it reflected the sin
cerest opinion of the bridegroom,
if not quite of the maitre d'hotel.)
And when the bride said she
would like to go home and break
the news to her family, he had no
other thought than to comply with
her wish. 1t seemed to Prentiss
a thoughtful and considerate sug-
gestion.
For his part, Of course, he'd
rather take her away instantly and
keep her to himself, but she'd been
wonderful to put his interests
above all else and marry him with
out having one of her friends, or
a member of her family, present
at the ceremony. He owed her
much for that.
AS they left the table she said:
I'D like to telephone mama before
we start"
Prentiss offered to do this for
her, but Irene insisted she must do
the talking herself. AS she hoped,
Beryl answered.

AIRS. EVERETT agreed that
1V1 Irene's plan for frustrating
Beryls attempt to prevent her mar
riage to Prentiss was perfect. She
helped Irene to dress with unusual
care, and gave her all the money
she had available in the house.
Irene stayed in her room until
Prentiss called and then she went
down to him Immediately, so that
he would not talk with her mother
in the living room where Berry
might overhear.
Irene affected extreme agitation
She wanted Beryl, If she saw her
70 think she was upset over her
coming interview with Prentiss.
To Prentiss she explained nerv-
ously that she wanted to talk to him
alone-her mother had left the
room when Irene entered it, as the
two had arranged. She wanted tc
go somewhere and talk with him
But don't you want me to speak
TO your mother-to tell her that
we're going TO be married?" Prem
tiss protested.
Irene smiled vainly at him mot
yet-please," she begged. Il have
something to tell you first"
All right" Prentiss agreed, but
you know you said you couldn't
really say yes until I'd asked your
mother" He laughter. What an
old-fashioned sweetheart you are!
he exclaimed happily.
Irene took his arm. Let's go,
she said, and ushered him toward
the hall. Prentiss became serious
'Ls there something wrong?" he
inquired anxiously.
It'll tell YOU Irene said, loud
enough for an eavesdropper to hear.
In her voice was a hint of tears
and trouble, that ought, she
thought, to satisfy Beryl that she
was on her way to sacrifice herself.
Prentiss helped her tenderly into
his car, his hopes at the moment
less buoyant than ever they'd been
before.
They had not driven far befor
he told her he'd have to know what
was on her mind. Irene had been
entirely wordless during the drive.
Its mother" she said, as though
with great reluctance. "She thinks
we ought to have a fussy wedding.
I'm all tired out arguing with her
that the sensible thing is for us to
be married quietly and go back to
Oakdale right away, as your father
wants you to-"
Then she doesn't object to your
marrying me?" Prentiss asked
eagerly.
"Well-she said she'd like us to
have a longer engagement"
Il don't believe in long engage
ments.' Prentiss stated firmly.
Il couldn't have any kind of
wedding at al here. at home" Irene
said wistfully without inviting
hordes of people. We know every
one in town"
DRENTISS had visions of such
Il occasion. Cant we be married
all by ourselves?p he asked.
Il think that would be the love-
hest way" Irene agreed.
I've got to leave clay after to-
morrow at the latest, Prentiss in
formed her. I'm fact, I should leave
tomorrow.
Dad wouldn't send for ME if he
didn't need me. There was q
threatened strike at the factory

Brown Has Own
Wrestling Style

Many queer things arc pulled IN
the wrestling game, but no wrestler
nor wrestling audience ever saw the
brand of wrestling that Joe f.
Brown exhibits in "Sit Tight' in
which he co-stars with Winnie
Lightner.
AS handy man to Winnie who is
operating a fake health resort, Joe
is called upon to stage a wrestling
match with real wrestler while
they try to dig up the missing star
who was supposed to participate III
the match.
This is only one of the many big
laughs which the picture provides
Winnie has few opportunities to
create laughs herself as she en-
deavors to convince Paul Gregory
that he is real wrestler.
The latter's sweetheart, played by
Claudia Dell, is against the wrestling
idea altogether and she has more
than one clash with Winnie endeav-
oring to halt the proceedings.
''Sit Tight is not the sort of
picture through which one sits tight
The many laughs prevent it.

Charges of fraud and miSreprc-

p. Landreth, Grace S. Landreth, his
wife. Andrew Joughin, C. T. Smith

gage on a Los Angeles apartment
house for 100000, and for money

trade his lots on the coast for farm
ing land south of inland represent
ed as having value of S73,575. The
mortgage was included in the trade
claimed Forbes, and was later trans
ferred to Joughin.
The defendants represented to him
that the farming land would net him
an income of $4,000 a year without
any labor on his part, and would
give him an opportunity to trave.
and regain his lost health, asserted
Forbes.
After the trade he found that the
land gave him no income, according
