PLY
 TRADE IN CHURCH
Members of w e d q II 2 Party Victimized
 By Dips"

Pickpockets are plying their trade here to the tune of the Wedding March, Chief Inspector Joseph Stevens of the police department announced today.
 At wedding yesterday in local church no less than three pockets were picked. Police have received several similar complaints from wedding guests in recent weeks.
 The trio victimized yesterday lost respectively, $10, $8 and $6. The losses were not reported to police till several hours after the wedding.
 Chief Inspector Stevens today warned wedding guests to keep a close watch on their pocketbooks, wallets and purses. The thieves, he said, have little difficulty in working amidst the crowds at the churches for the cereuonies. He suggests that when any strangers or suspicious persons are seen at we'd dings that police be notified at once.

CHAPTER VII

It was at the opera that they first
saw Serena Morrison.
Not that Vicky or anyone in her
neighborhood knew who the woman
was, at first. With four men, she
was sitting in the forward seat of
box; an ashen blonde in a black
velvet gown, with petal-smooth bare
shoulders, and .deep-set, Inber-
shadowed eyes. Everyone in the
house was looking at her when the
curtain went down and the lights
went up. but if she was conscious Of
the admiration and curiosity she ex-
cited she gave no sign Of it. ~
d That's Joe Younger--that stout
fellow with her." Quentin said, lay.
ing down his glasses after a frank
inspection. ''By gosh, she is beauti-
tiful!"
3 "Oh, Quent, you know hirn!"
Vicky said eagerly, leaning forward
in her old chocolate lace to have
another look. Couldn't you slip
over and meet her?" i r
mo time noW-I win in the next.
entr' acte!" Quentin whispered as
the house lights famed down and
Carbon County news., 1937-07-16

the footlights went up. But before
the next act there was the familiar
whisper in the back of, the box.
Vicky had resignedly expected It; i
always came somehow when they
were daring enough to 60 to the
theater. .sS
DIR. Hardisty?" the whisper said
in the dark. 'The hospital on the
telephone, Doctor. DR.. Bruce. He
said it was urgent"
And then Quentin was groping in
the gloom for his hat and coat, and
off in full evening regalia for some
hot, odorous surgery, with the val
kyries' wild scream interrupted halt
way. It was too bad, but it wasn't
the first time and wouldn't be the
last, Vicky reminded her mother
philosophically, when they were in
the car going home.
''And lucky for you, tool" Magda
responded.
''Lucly?"
'FWel, he was perfectly mad
about that blonde woman, whoever
she was. He was going over to that
box Just to meet her. But I thought
you handled that very cutely, Vic,"
Magda said.
'.Handled what?" Vicky was gen.
timely amazed.
'fOh, saying she was lovely and
you'd like to know who she was.
That was smart, Vic"
'"There was nothing smart to
that!" Vicly laughed, in generous
amusement. But she felt just a
little chilled, nevertheless. A bleak
breath Of wind from an alrnost-for-
gotten country seemed to touch her
cheek. "Quentin adnires beauty"
she presently said. ''But that's as
far as it goes"
"Just the same I'll bet you some
thing, Vic, that he finds out tomor-
row who she isl
Mother, you're incorrigible!"
They were at home now, yawningly
dragging themselves up the long
stairs. 'I'll bet you a chocolate
bar that he never mentions her
again!"
They were in the house the fol-
lowing afternoon when Quentin
came in to smile wearily at Kenty
and Susan, who were cavorting
about in pajamas, and to discuss
the products of the Argentine with
Gwen Magda was playing solitaire
by the fire.
''oh, listen, Vic. remember the
blonde Venus in the box last night?"
Quentin presently asked. Magda
looked up, and Vicly turned with a

''Vic looks astonished, and wen
she nay!" the newcomer said, be-
ginning daintily on her meal mo,
no wine, Quentin" she said easily
to the son-in-law she had met only
moment earlier. ''I'n have coffee.
Would I be horrible pest If asked
for hot milk-I've had my coffee
! for so long with hot milk that I
can't seem to get used to it any
other way!" .
She loosened the friIled coat; Vic
toria noticed with a disturbed heart
that her mother, under the first inn
preston Of fussiness, of frippery, in
her clothes, also gave distinct eff
feet of shabbiness.
The group broke up early; they
were all tired, and Magda especially
so. She took possession Of Victoria's
one small spare room gayly, OBJ
serving that she did not mind it at
all; her trunks often had to stand
out in the hall. Victoria, suddenly
feeling fiat and discouraged, and
that the long day had been too
much for her, and that it was a
formidable thing to be managing a
busy husband, a houseful Of chill
dren, five servants, and to be fac
ing besides the prospect Of illness
and fresh responsibility, satisfied
herself with only q few weary mo-
nents Of conversation with her
mother, as the latter prepared her
self for bed. :.
Mrs. Herrendeen assured her
daughter that she. would be asleep
in ten minutes and must be awak-
ened in the norning-''unless some
body'd bring me just the simplest
breakfast?"--but Vicky was not so
fortunate. She lay awake most Of
the night trying to fit her mother
into her so completely changed life,
wondering what would happen now,
disturbed by hundred vague i'm
pressions and fears of she knew
not what. Her poor faded mother,
so gallant in the 1aces and frills,
the outworn, badly worn fineryl
There: was no alternative; Mother
must be made a guest Of honor in

long as she chose to stay. But

'tIf l had any character wouldn't |
do thisI" she reproached herself. |
Things always look different in the
morning; nothing is as bad as it |
seems at I1ightp' i
She really knew very little Of |
what her mothers life had been in |
the last ten or eleven years. Vic
toria had been too much absorbed |
in her own affairs to think much Of |
her mothers, and Mrs. Herrendeen
had not written very often. In the
beginning, Vic remembered, there
had been a long, luxurious cxplana-
tion, certainly not confession, but
