Here was luxury; satin walls

was a French boudoir. The

carpet that deadened every foot

were huffled in taffeta and the
appurtenances and bottles were

AnaStasia's Fifty7s eventh

no more lavish display of

clientele of steady customers,
there flowed through the salon
a steady stream of women who
wanted to see the place just
once before they died. The out

She was trembling. She gath
cred up her hat and bag and
gloves. Silently he helped her
out of the car. Her hands shook
so she couldn't open her door.
He took the key from her and
opened it.

She closed the door swiftly. In
a daze Walter strobe back to his
car. Good Lord" he told him.
self over and over, Il really do
love her"
Tonight Helen crept silently
into bed. Gone was the elation,
the ecstasy of last night. She
was frightened. Dread fastened
cold fingers against her heart.
She shouldn't have let him kiss
her. What a fool she had been
to make such a mistake. Now
he'd surely think she was one OF
those loose flappers. He wouldn't
dare kiss one Of the girls OF his
own class so lightly! She had
cheapened herself to let him
kiss her that way so soon. Darn
it, why had she fallen asleep?
She lay palpitating miserably
in the darkness. Then fresh
doubts rose to torture her. He
was ashamed Of being seen
with her. It wasn't possible
that a man could be so afraid
of his sisters and his mother.
Did she look cheap?
Helen crawled out OF bed
into the bathroom. She lit the
gas over the mirror and in the
hard yellow light studied her
face. She tried to see herself
as through Walters eyes. OF
course, she wasn't striking like
Stella Riley or freakish like
Irene Riley-but nice. She had
a nice face. No one needed to
be ashamed of her!
She crawled back to bed, I'M
certain whether to give him up
or to let herself drift into a
relationship that she knew was
hopeless from the beginning.
Her head ached. She probably
wouldn't sleep and in the morn
ing she'd be a wreck. In two
minutes she was fast asleep.
In the morning her reason
ableness asserted itself. Walter
was fine. He was kind and
sweet. Of course, he wasn't
ashamed of her! What an
idiotic thought! 1t was only
because he hated scenes. He
hated quarrels with his sisters.
That was why he didn't want
to be seen in her company.
His sisters naturally would OBJ
ject, but Walter was different.
He had called her Helen-had
kissed her. Little by little she
talked herself into believing in
him. She almost succeeded but
she couldn't entirely convince
herself.
The engagement of Irene
Riley to Dirk Terhune was

CAMPBELL HOPE
Speed Monarch Puts Motor
Triumph Second in A. A. A.
Luncheon Address.

A desire for greater unity between
the United States and Great Britain
buns deeper in the heart of Sir
Malcolm Campbell, noted British
racer, than any hope of taking his
Bluebird down the sands of Daytona
Beach at 800 miles per hour.
The quiet-spoken holder of all land
speed records expressed this yester-
day in an address before members OF
the local American Automobile Asso-
citation at a luncheon In the Willard
Hotel. Campbell left for New York
shortly after the luncheon, where he
will sail tomorrow for London.
"Only through a complete unity of
friendship between these two great
nations Campbell said, 'can we OBJ
tain world peace that will be lasting,
The English-speaking peoples must go
hand in hand through the problems
of the world.
His Fondest Hope.
'T hope for that unity more sin
cerely than anything else--far more
than my Gft-expressed wish to estab-
lish a 0-mile-per-hour record" he
said.
Sir Malcolm paid high tribute to the
A A. A. and to E. H. Armstrong,
mayor of Daytona Beach, who also
was present at the luncheon.
1T is difficult to find words to ex-
press my deep gratitude to the people
of Daytona Beach and Mayor Arm
strong, the A. A. A. and all my friends
in America for the marvellous way
they have treated me in my visits
here" the Britsher said.
Grateful to ALI.
1.-THE officials of the A. A. A. showed
amazing efficiency during my speed
trials, and I am deeply grateful to
every one who helped" During his
recent trials at Daytona Sir Malcolm
broke his 1888 record by travelling at
the rate of 276 miles per hour.
Sir Malcolm said he does not know
whether the maximum speed that can
be attained on Daytona Beach had
vet been reached.
We have now reached such high
velocity he said, that the beach may
not be fit for faster speeds. Whether
or not this is true. I can't say.
Il don't know where Ill race next
time, but the Florida folks have beer
so good to me that I naturally would
have a great desire to go back there.
