BY BRUCE CATION

Jesse LILIENTHAL, writer, not
- long ago said he wished some day
to write the biography Of "a plain
earthly sort of person"
Some one answered his wish by in
PRODUCING him to Malinda Jenkins
AS a result, he collaborated with her
on her autobiography, which is pre-
sented now under the title, Gam
blers Wife" and it is as racy and
entertaining book as you will find
all spring.
Malinda jenkins was SO when
Lilienthal met her. When he asked
her when he could work with her,
she told him that he could have
every morning, but that she always
went to the races in the afternoon.
For this spray and salty old lady
may have been unknown to fame,
but she could hardly be called I'M
distinguished.
Her book tells Of long and event.
full life, which began in an Indiana
farmhouse, carried her all over the
United States, took her to Alaska
during the gold rush and wound up
by making her successful owner
of race horses.
She married a ne'er- do-well back
in Indiana, divorced him, married
an aging Texas business man and
after his death she married Jen-
kins the gambler; "Jenky," who
stayed a stranger through FORTY
three years of marriage and always
kept her guessing, but who loved
me as much as a gambler could
love anything outside of four aces"
For years she fought to keep
Jenky from gambling. At last she
gave it up-and decided she didn't
care.
They had their ups and their
downs; some of the time only her
energy and business sense supported
them. But they grew rich in
Alaska and their old age was happy.
This book is a genuine slice of
life, and I don't see how you can
fail to like it, Published by Hough-
ton-Mifflin, it sells for So.

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

A NGIE stammered, Pleased
"a to-" and then, thinking bet
ter Of it, went on hurriedly, Bills
told me lot about you"
Mrs. O'Dare said. I'm glad he
brought you. We've been wanting
to meet you" She smiled to show
she meant it and, in spite of the
sinking Of her heart. was glad to
discover that Bills girl was, as Kay
aid described her, not a bad sort.
If her bright sweater fitted the
curves Of her rounded figure a trife
too candidly, still the big eyes
framed in mascaraed lashes had
hkable honesty about them.
All Belvedere-that is all that part
Of it which knew the O'Dares well
enough to observe their comings and
goings-would gossip that night
about Angles call on Bills mother.
What's the world coming tor" old
ladies would ask, with appraised
hands. Time was when that sort
Of woman was shown the door"
No, the trouble was, Mrs. O'Dare
reflected, that Angie wasn't what
the old ladies meant when they said
that sort of woman"
Angie was fundamentally good
She had been trapped by nature
into an unWise marriage. Now, at
81, she was struggling to get out
of that trap. 1t was injudicious-
surely nothing more-of her and
Bill to have got engaged" as they
nalvely put it, before Angles di-
vorce was final. But then people
did that kind of thing nowadays.
The conversation languished. An
gle admired the ferns in the hang
ing pots, admired the burst of phlox
under the windows.
Uneasily, under her chatter, she
was observing Bill's mother, Won
dering what was behind all this APP
parent simplicity and friendliness.
Poor Angie, she wasn't much used
to kindness! She was a bit sus-
picious of it.
Il made some iced tea, Bill. You
bring it in-and the cookies from
the pantry" his mother command
ed conscious of her sons fidgeting
attention.
The quiet of Denny street on Sun
day afternoon brooded over every
thing, and when the two women
were alone together silence fell like
a blanket on both.
Mrs. O'Dare broke it, Bill tells
me you plan to be married as soon
aS-the divorce goes through"
Angie stared at her, with Just
hint of Turbulence. Yes, that's
what we were thinking"
"When-when will that be?" Mrs.
ODare could not quite keep a ire
NOR of anxiety out of her tone.
A NGIE stared at the curtains,
a fluttering in the breeze.
I'VE don't exactly know" she
said, almost sullenly. Stan is see
ing to things. He's got a lawyer
in the city. He'll let me know"
Il see" Mrs. ODare considered
this. Il think-somehow I have
the feeling you'd be better off start
ing in some new place" she said
bravely. This is such small place.
You know how people are"
Angie winked suddenly. She
hadn't expected this reception. I'm
consciously, she had braced herself
for tears, reproacheS, pleas. She
had expected to be looked over
coldly, snubbed, dismissed.
This quiet little woman with the
CRAVING chestnut hair and the fine
eyes seemed actually to be accepting
her.
She gulped. "Yes'm-I mean GER
tainly, Mrs. ODare. That's what
was telling Bill only the other day
He doesn't exactly see it my way"
