CHAPTER w,

But why?" Elaine asked excited
ly. Why was Mrs. Reardon so an
grv? We didn't do anything wrong
Aunt Ella shrugged her shoulders
The story was in the newspapers
And you know how she is about
the subject of drinking"
So that was it. For a moment
Elaine was tempted to explain to
Aunt Ella that it had been only
Betty who had gotten drunk. But
then she decided bitterly against it
Explanations would do no good
Mrs. Reardon had been anxious te
break up the marriage and she was
merely using this as an excuse.
Grimly she fought back the tears
that threatened to sweep down hel
cheeks. She wouldn't cry. She
wouldn't let any one know how much
Mrs. Reardon and Eric had hurt
her. She turned her head on the
pillow to face the wall.
II guess that's that" she sobbed
wildly.
Il know how you feel" Aunt Ella
said sympathetically. "But-wel
you must forget all about it. And
once you get back home. -
Couldn't Go Back.
This was something Elaine had
forgotten. She turned quickly
around as Aunt Ella rose from the
chair. Home! But she couldn't
return to Lynville. Away from Eric
she might somehow manage to for
get she had ever loved him. But
seeing him every day, recalling those
ecstatic moments when he pressed
her close in his arms, she could
never forget the happiness that
might have been.
I'm not going home" she told
Aunt Ella with quiet determination.
Il couldn't 60 back now" Her eyes
pleaded for understanding
Aunt Ella patted her hand. II
understand, child. Perhaps the best
thing would be for you to get some
where and straighten the whole
thing out with yourself" She pom
dered a moment. perhaps you
would like to 60 to New York. You
could always find a job there and
perhaps you might even do some
thing with your voice. Didn't Clara
once offer to speak to a voice
teacher acquaintance of hers about
you?"
The infinitely drawn expression
on Elaine's face softened and she
nodded her head. A job! Her voice!
New York. Yes, that was the solu-
ton. She could lose herself in work
and study. That would help her
forget.
Decision Is Delayed.
We'll talk it over tomorrow, Aunt
Ella said after a glance at her
watch. Now then, promise you
won't take the whole thing too seri-
ously?"

apartment with her I'm sure I could
arrange it"
Elaine was not sure that this was
what she wanted After all, she
didn't know the young inferno very
we'll and, although she liked him,
she doubted the wisdom of accepting
his suggestion too quickly. 1t was
Clara who made the decision, Clara
was so much keener than she at
judging people.
Clara Decides for Her.
"Of course she'd like to room with
your sister" she told the doctor. Her
eyes twinkled. 1T takes Elaine
hours to make up her mind"
And thus it was arranged, and
when the two left the room Is
minutes later Elaine was feeling in
finitely better. All her problems had
been solved. When she was ready to
leave for New York Clara would
give her two letters of introduction,
one to her father, and the other to
Monticello, the voice teacher. And
DR.. Stuart had promised to write
his sister at once so that she would
be expecting her and have time to
make any arrangements she con-
sidered necessary.
Yes, she had every reason to feel
happy, but as the sun began to
sink in the West sending dancing,
reddish beams into her room,
Elaine felt sure she would never be
really happy again. Clara and DR..
Stuart had indeed proven to be real
friends. But what were friends
when you had lost the man you
loved?
Another thought came into her
head and she dismissed it almost as
quickly as it had come. She was
wondering if DR.. Stuart would have
Tilted her so callously. She decided
that he would not Somehow. he
had the appearance of being a man
who meant what he said-moon-or
no moon.
Elaine had been quite positive
that she would never laugh or enjoy
herself again. She had felt quite
certain that Eric's decision concern
ing their marriage had completely
destroyed that part Of her which
enjoyed gayety and good times.
She was a trifle confused, therefore,
when, two weeks later during a
visit with Betty she found herself
laughing as though she hadn't
care in the world.
Curious about this, she moved
across the room and sat down on
the edge of Betty's bed. Her eyer
were quizzical as she surveyed her
chum's pale, taut face and white
bandaged head. Betty Jordan,
you're still as crazy as ever!'
Betty scowled. For the millionth

up at him. If you want anything
more III be glad to help you"
That's ALL" Peter said briefly
stuff1ng the paper back into his
pocket.
And now, what about you?'
Clara queried after he had left the
room. What are you going to do?"
Elaine didn't answer for a moment
but simply looked quietly at her
friend, pleased to see that the acci-
dent had in no way affected Clara
IT anything, her chum looked
prettier than ever in her suit of
bright green. Then, seeing Clara
f1dget impatiently, she told her what
she had decided to do. And strange
ly enough, the more she talked about
going to New York the better she
liked the idea.
THE only thing that worries me,
though, is finding a job. Gosh,
can't accept any more money from
Aunt Ella"
Clara Offered Job.
well, I can arrange for you to
study under Monticello" Clara said
briskly. And as for the job, well,
my loving papa has a big depart
ment store in New York and I guess
he can find a place for you"
Elaine was just beginning to learn
how truly Aunt Ella had spoken
when she said it wasn't only what
you knew, but whom you knew that
counted. She smiled her thanks to
Clara, who promptly stuck out her
tongue.
What about a place to live?" DR..
Stuart asked Have you made any
plans about that?"
Elaine remembered that she hadn't
and the realization that this would
prove a difficult problem to solve
brought a frown to her face. From
what she had heard it was difficult
to find good room in New York, a
room which was not only COM
Portable, but one which was priced
at sum she could afford to pay.
She looked questioningly at Clara
but her friend simply shook her
head. implying she couldn't offer
any suggestions. 1t was DR.. Stuart
who offered a solution to the prob
lem.
MY sister has an apartment In
Greenwich Village" he told them.
About three weeks ago her room
mate moved to Chicago. If you
think you would like to share the

A plume of smoke floated upward
She wore an orchid satin house

Ann said.
The hall emptied itself into the

Gotta dress for heavy date,
Neddy remarked, tapping grace

Teddy fell into step. Heavy

They've always got heavy

Landing Of Allied Troops
Not Occupation Of Aruba

The Netherlands Minister, DR..
Alexander Loudon, Informally called
to The Stars attention yesterday a
misuse Of the term occupation" in
connection with landing of French
or British troops in Aruba, one of
the Netherlands West Indies.
Under international law, it was
explained, Occupation" refers to the
entry Of military forces into the ter
ritory of another nation, without in
vitation and possibly over the pro-
test of such nation. In the case of
the Dutch possessions in the Carib-
bean, it was explained, the Neither
lands, France and Great Britain are
now allies In a war against Germany
and the entry of troops Of the allies
in these islands is not Occupation
but the joining of military forces
for possible protection against a
common enemy.
Misuse of the term, it was ex-
planned, might lead to misinterpre-
tation in Europe or elsewhere Of
the nature Of the proceedings In the
Dutch West Indian possessions.

ARTHUR GREENWOOD.
elected in 1922.

for control expenses, such as pilot
charges, unloading and warehousing
costs, he said such acts I'm effect
are acts of piracy"
He accused the British of violating
diplomatic mail and applying cargo
control to passengers baggage, even
that in some cases of diplomats.
Sometimes. he asserted, seizures
OF goods were made at the behest
of rival firms. Red Cross material
sent from the United States to
Geneva had been free from delays,
he said.
Eden Still Unpopular.
The inclusion of Anthony Eden
as War Minister in Winston
Churchills new British war cabinet
means no good for the strained
Italian British relations, in the
opinion of Fascists. The news Of
his appointment, however, came too
late tonight for official comment.
The name of Eden is indelibly
linked in Italy with the sanctions
imposed during her Ethiopian cam
paign-a move in which he took the
lead as British delegate to Geneva.
While he was British Foreign
Secretary Mr.. Eden was lampooned
almost daily in the Fascist press.
In fact, he probably has been the
subject of more disparaging cartoons
in Italian newspapers than any
other world statesman.

ley Mulford, decided that the match

Guard, irrespective Of rank.
Other arrangements, such as the
rules and the place of the con-
test, will be made by Col. Charles
