CHIC<IE'S DAUGHTER By EZenOre Meherin

at her side as she picked out the
lilies.
There's one you've missed"
said he, pulling out a spray and
fastening it in his button-hole.
WAS it a pretty wedding, Pip
pin?"
"Yes-very. Sonia looked
well. After all, she may make
Edward happy"
Il shouldn't be surprised.
Better than some cocktail sip
ping deb who'd run him to the
ground with debt and frivolity.
Ed doesn't need intellect in a
wife. Her father has great in
telligence. But, Pippin-will
you be married in white and a
veil and music-all this?"
1--WE not decided. Do you
like it this way?"
He laughed: why, no! I'd
want to take you off quite
alone. But, of course, if the
trimmings mean anything
what of it! Sonia's sister is
cute, isn't she? I should be
down there making love to her.
The maid of honor expects it
from the best man."
"And you wouldn't disappoint
a lady. Kevin? I suppose you
do it very well?"
Make love?" He put his
arm about her. "Why do you
suppose that, Pippin?"
"Oh-men have practice, I'm
told"
You don't believe all you
hear?" His eyes were very
serious. With his hand he
raised her chin so that he
looked long and with that seek
ing, imperious tenderness into
her face. He stopped and
kissed her twice on the mouth.
I'D like you, Martha, to think
that I did it we'll. Thanks for
the lilies"

jetty black. Prettier than
Sonia, with a little straight
nose and ripe, red mouth.
More intelligent - provocative
in that dress of flame.
Sonia looked up to Edward.
Her face was beamingly proud
as stern, aloof and very white
he took her hand-"With this
ring I thee wed-better or
worse-death do us part"
The procession coming down
the aisle. Sonia smiling vividly,
small teeth showing; Edward
in a tran.e, mouth set for en-.
durance. Just behind them
Kevin with the tiny, laughing
Anna on his arm. Kevin caught
Mary'S dark eyes shining with
tears. He smiled and said with
his lips, "Mother!" In a dress
of magenta, wrap of the same
material deeply bordered with
ermine. Mary looked lovely and
infinitely sad.
The Reception
In the opposite aisle went
Sonia's parents and her friends.
The father had a long black
beard and a shock of heavy,
wiry black hair. He was a
massive fellow with keen, snap
ping eyes and a bright scarlet
mouth.
The mother was short like
her daughters but enormously
wide. She was almost square
and reached scarcely to her
husbands elbow. Her hair was
blonde, thin and tightly curled
all over her head. She wore a
dress of purple satin. Her
rowing eyes took in every de-
tail-gowns, flowers, voices.
She was very alert.
These two alone of Sonia's
relatives came to the reception
Mary gave.
Sonia standing in the living
room and excitedly accepting
congratulations, was pl a My
worried that they might not
favorably impress her husbands
relatives.
She kept saying: where's
mother. She's shy. She doesn't
talk much English"
Janice, although miffed that
Bobby had not been asked to be
a page, was very much in evil
dence; officiating as the fond
sister-in-law.
She assured Sonia: "Your
mothers darling so pictur-
esque-and your father like a
Viking! You made a perfectly
ravishing bride. Edward, you
should be proud!"
This goaded Kathleen. She
whispered to Pippin: isn't that
thick! Just like Janice to soft.
soap Edward when he's walking
up the 13 steps,"
But Pippin watched Kevin,
who talked to Sonia'S father.
Now they were laughing in big
gusty outlaws, and now the big
giant was loudly and eloquently
telling of the Russian wrongs
through untold decades.
"A grand fellow" Kevin said
to Pippin. "It's not as bad as
we thought"
Kevin'S Kisses
Pippin caught the brides bou-
quet-bovardia and lilies of the
valley. Kevin stopped her as
she went to Kathleen's room to
put the flowers in water. He
took the gardenia from his
button-hole.
"GiVe me the lilies, Pippin!"
She took out a little bunch
and offered it to him.
mo! I want them ALL"
would you spoil this beauti-
full bouquet?"
II would not spoil it. I'll take
good care of it,"
She felt a strange, subtle
glowing excitement. He stood

isn't that reason enough?"
"But If you had loved him in
the way you want to love. you
would have gone with him, job
or no job?"
Pippin had her hands clasped.
Now she opened them and
looked a moment at the palms
as though she were reading her
fate in the lines. She said with
q little wavering smile:
II wouldn't have any choice
about it,"
Kevin put his hands in the
palm Of hers.
will you know, Pippin, when
this love that you're waiting
for comes?"
She said almost too quickly:
''1'll know!"
He slipped his hands about
her waist and looking down said
with his eyes glowing and his
cheeks a little flushed:
you haven't answered my
question, Martha. Can I make
up to you for Gregg? Can I
make up to you for Bill?"
Pippin Rejoices
She said with her eyes warm
and her lips trembling:
"Kevin, do you want to-"
"Yes, Martha, do"
She went home in a little
dream of JOY. Kevin took her
to a small restaurant that night.
It wouldn't have mattered had
he taken her only to a coffee
wagon, or if they had stood at
the beach at a hot dog stand
and afterwards ran like chill
dren into the water with the
waves dashing about and wash
ing their feet. He played tennis
with her on Sunday. Thursday
evening he drove down to the
campus. They went to a show.
Then he said casually:
Are you very lonely, Pippin?"
She answered sparkling: Il
haven't had time. I'm not lonely.
No! + think the world is beauti-
full" He laughed and held her
tight in his arms and kissed her
good night.
She went tip-toeing about her
room thinking in a tide of hap
piness: "Kevin loves me. He
loves mel"
On Saturday at 6 o'clock
Sonia and Edward were mar
ried. Pippin made the bow in
Edwards tie, then helped him
find the ring which he had mis-
laid. He was very nervous.
She and Kathleen wore fluffy
pink organdie with wide brim-
med hats and wreaths Of tiny
blue and pink roses about the
crown.
"We have the girl-in-the-gar.
den look for your wedding, Ed
ward darGng!"
He nodded-too excited to an.
Swer.
Then Kathleen went up to her
brother and said impulsively, so
that he almost broke down: II

this afternoon. She looked sweet.
I hope you'll be awfully happy,

It was a gay wedding. Banks

Sonia, her eyes big, yellow
hair fluffed out against the
white veil and sprigs of orange
blossom, looked like bright
bisque doll.

maid of honor, was just as tiny

HARDWARE MAINTAINS
ENCOURAGING ACTIVITY

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, June 6. An en-
couraging energy persists in wholesale
hardware distribution despite the
temporary slowing in some other mer-
camille lines, and in almost all sorts
of factory activity.
1t is true that retailers and Job
bers alike have accumulated certain
reserves of stock, during the liberal
buying of the past Winter and Spring.
But it is equally true that these re-
serves are moving into consumption
in we'll maintained volume, and. in
general, at very satisfactory profit
margins
Leading wholesalers are reporting
May sales of hardware better than
those of April. Hardware Age will
say tomorrow in its market summary
In some quarters the item volume has
reached better levels than since 1881.
and the average value OF each sale is
well ahead.

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, June 6.-Oil and metal
issues led the gamers in today's quiet
stock market, but a number Of the
leaders in other groups drifted mod
erately lower as traders cashed in
some of their profits. Most spectators
were inclined to await further con-
f1rmation of the recent upturn. The
close was irregular. Transfers ap-
proximated 665, 900 shares.
Sentiment in Wall Street seemed to
be mildly bullish, but the labor situa-
ton was still bit cloudy and there
was some profit taking based on the
theory that a moderate technical
reaction was due. The signing of the
stock exchange control bill by the
President caused hardly a ripple on
the placid surface of the financial
district
Buying in the oils was the best in
some time and was attributed to the
report of the American Petroleum In
stitute showing a drastic curtailment
in refining operations. Silver futures
and number of the metal shares
moved up on hopes that the congress
sional silver bloc would be successful
in pushing through amendments to
the silver bill.
Wheat and corn dropped around 2
cents bushel as rains relieved some
Of the parched crop districts. The
damage, however was still believed
to be heavy. Cotton and rubber were
just about even. Foreign exchanges
developed strength in terms Of the

fluctuations

explaining the leading provisions of

After stating that the bills limita-

known, the letter adds:
Our most fervent hope is that
from now on We may be able to op-
crate our business without further
interference and without further re-
strictions. Our clients now under
stand what to expect under this new
law, with regard to the extension of
loans. the execution of orders, the re-
quirementS for margin, and various
other regulations which the bill brings
with it, and can, therefore, now begin,
with some assurance of permanency,
to plan their investment program and
to appraise the various values of
