CHAPTER

A T the beginning of the long
IA subway ride from Larry's stu
dio to the Brooklyn apartment
Ellen was plunged in misery. The
evening had been the most
wretched of her life.
She studied the brightly coIored
subway cards with eyes that filed
and ref1lled with tears. Iona Glen
denning had forced her to see what
before she had refused to admit.
Association with Larry had been
folly from the beginning. It was
late now to mend that original mis-
take, but mend it Ellen would.
Larry should not be permitted to
ruin her life, to take all her
thoughts and dreams to himself. to
take all the best that was in her
and to give nothing in return:
Nothing except casual, irresponsible,
1oollSn pleasures that left her dis
contented and dissatisfied, strain
ing always for something more.
In her mind she framed the DO
lite little note that would tell him
OF the unavoidable duties which
prevented her from posing further.
1t was to be a cold and imper-
Sonal note, a final note, with Moth
ing between the lines for the clev-
crest to read.
AT IL clock she reached the
Brooklyn apartment.
Molly and Mike were long asleep.
Ellen cautiously tiptoed into her
bedroom. Before undressing. she
wrote the note to Larry.
1t had cost her a few tears. but
Larry never would guess that. He
would never know the bright fan
cles and dreams that she had
woven about his irresponsible figure.
She sealed the envelope and
placed it on the bureau for morning
mailing. She "a in bed, but not
asleep, when Myra entered and
turned On the lights.
Awake, Ellen?" she asked softly.
Ellen kept her eyes shut a min
ute and then opened them.
Why'd you run away from us?"
Myra demanded. 1--WE got there only
ten minutes after you left. Larry
seemed rather worried about you.'
He needn't worry any more" FL
len replied quietly.
What is it? Did something
happen?"
When Ellen did not answer, Myra
went on viciously, Il bet that Glen
denning woman said something. We
didn't stay, so L barely met her, but
if I ever saw a natural cat that
woman is one"
Ellen turned her head away from
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-03-03

shes always that way to other
women"
Lona's laugh was not amused.
Ellen crossed the room and sat
down in the chair beside Lar
rvs. She tried desperately to think
Of something to say, something to
show that she did not care what
Iona was imagining and %inferring.
She had no refuge except to smile
again on this horrible, hot, sticky
night sitting with these people so
conscious of their separation from
her. Her very soul was sick.
All IN all, it was the most
wretched evening she ever had
spent with Larry. Iona did every
thing she could to make Ellen feel
alien from the group. She chat
tered Of places Ellen never had
been, of people Ellen never had
seen, of prospective parties to which
Ellen would not be invited.
Neither Bob's laundering efforts
to stop her nor Larry's open irrita-
ton could stem the light lash of
her tongue.
Ellen endured it as long as she
could. She had hoped to hold out
until Bert and Myra returned, but
found she could not.
Pleading extreme WEAKNESS she
broke away within half an hour.
She refused to let Larry take her
home.
Il hate himl" Ellen told herself
as she hurried along the airless
street toward the subway station.
Il hate him!"

downpour. The rest Of the meageT
crowd was made up of a few ardent
devotees of dancing who could have
been kept away from Dreamland
by nothing short Of death.
In spite of frequent absences from
the dance hall-or perhaps because
of them-Ellen had become popular
with those habitual patrons.
All the men wanted to dance
with the girl so difficult to obtain
for a partner. the girl who was so
different from the others, so stand

She was blue and discouraged as
she danced. Her heart was heavy.

Ice-blue satin leads as an

good advantage in a frock cut
on sinuous lines with shoulder
straps that extend to the waist.
These are made of crystal en-

an emerald buckle.
Everyone is interested in the

the invitation is of an informal

fore the wedding.

the best man to do this. The

her uncle or an old friend of
the family, or if she wishes,
she need not be presented in
marriage.
3. This is choice that only
the bride and her family would
be able to make, for they know
which will make them happier.
Personally, I'd rather have the
dinner for the families and
relatives and close friends, and
no reception. But most brides
love to have a reception.
4. Although for giving such
an informal invitation, the
bride and her mother might
give their invitations personally,
by word Of mouth or by tele-
phone, still I do think that
the written note of invitation
is the most graceful and graci-
Gus and charming way of ex-
tending such an important in
vitation. Then, too, they have
the record of the date and the
hour and the place, and there
can be no misunderstanding.
The mother of the bride should
write a note worded something
like this:
Dear Jane:
Mary and John are to be
married in the chapel of the
Church, on Tuesday,
the twenty-first of May, at 4
o'clock, and we very much
want to have you and Tom
with us. You will come to the
ceremony, both of you, won't
you? And then do plan to
come to our home afterward,
to help us cut the wedding
cake, and to give the couple
our best wishes.
Very sincerely yours,
Martha Thompson Allen.

would be changed, of course,
to correspond to the plans you
decide to make).

For Military Coat Suit

The rousing revival of pa
triotism inspired by the two
hundredth anniversary of Wash
ington'S birth has been mainly
responsible for the widespread
military influence in fashion.
And with disarmament at &c.
neva, is it any wonder that
these clothes are so disarming?
What Gives the Military Air
There's a whole stack of diff
ferent militariStic suggestions
in various things to wear.
Hats have little visor brimS,
with the crown Swallowing down
in back, like a soldiers cap.
And dresses have broad shoul-
derS accentuated by little epau-
letteS and slim waistlineS. But
in coats and suits, shoulders
are so wide they sometimes look
literally padded-and sometimes
they are! And often it's a high
severe closing or tailored wide
lapels or little tapped pockets
that have the look of a soldiers
uniform. But perhaps more
than anything else, it's the
metal buttons that gleam at
you-So often in double breasted
formation-from bout every
other costume you see!
Colors play an important role
in military fashions, too. Red,
white and blue, Of course, are
mainly patriotic. But think Of
the uniform" shades - navy
and that dull grayiSh cadet
blue!

Really. some coats and suits
are so strictly military that you
catch yourself looking for SER

a skirt. And as for the coat,
we actually thought some cadet
from a military academy left
it in the store!
You can readily understand
how anyone might be mistaken,
can't you? For those metal but
tons have the same double
breasted formation as a West
Point uniform. There's a Swag-
ger slit in back, too. And the
cape is very sirnilar-it's even
lined with red! And the color
of the coat is practically iden-

UnfOunded Jealousy

Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 have been going with a
young man for over a year now,
and we think an awful lot Of
each other. But my problem is
that I am so terribly jealous
am unhappy all the time. How
can I overcome this awful feel
ing? An answer in your column
will be gratefully appreciated.
BLONDE.
The habit you speak of is one
of the worst you could have,
for it makes you constantly ap-
prehenSive of a possible rival,
when probably the poor young
man hasn't a thought in the
world outside of yourself. It
is a fear that grips your imagi-
nation and should be weeded
out as quickly as possible. The
next time you find yourself be-
ginning to feel jealous, perhaps
at the mention of some other
girl, change the subject, and
find something to laugh about.
Laughter is like sunshine, and
is a wonderful tonic to take for
all kinds Of disturbing thoughts.
