TROPIC GRANDEUR

There is no attraction in Mas
ssu that can offer the slightest
competition 10 a glimpee-a mere
fleeing glimpse-of the Duke and
Duchess.
When the Duchess shops in the
quaint little stores along Bay
Street people come running from
all directions to catch a glimpse
of her. No matter where she and
her husband appear in public. all
attention is focused on them. And
real Nassauvians- who We're
born here or who have lived here
80 long that they think they were
are on edge about the entire
situation.
They hate having the Windsors
steal the limelight away from
Nassau itself. They dislike having
a side show take the spotlight
away from what they consider TO
be the main attractions the sun

Dor. the tropical foliage. the water
skiing. the air OF peace and quiet
which prevails did.
Everything was going along
here swimmingly. II little sleep

town. Nassau in the Bahamas
was pretty much the same as any
other warm. sunny winter resort

residential society runs the show
and tourists drop in to catch a
glimpse Of them doing il. Life

Of lavish palm gardens. huge

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE


Peter was in the Hollymount
library before the fire, his ban
daged ankle proppsd up on a stool
His hair was brushed 30 neatly,
his eyes 80 bright, that he looked,
In his bathrobe and pajamas, rath-
sr like a chsstened schoolboy as
Jan and his father entered the
room. He aimed his cigarette at
the fire and held out his hands to
her.

"Gcsh, II mAkes me feel silly

girl before"
His father said soberly. we
can't thank you enough. Jan. You
realize that If it hadn't been for
you. Peter wouldn't be with US
now"
Peter shrugged and said gaily.
"On the other hand. ! wouldn't
have been where I was IL Jan
hadn't been with me! You can't
eiope by yourself. you know"
Wen discuss that later" His
fathers voice was stern. And
until you can be trusted to man.
age your own affairs properly, we
will see that you have proper SUI
pervision of your enterprises.
Three sirplane accidents in the
space Of few months is nothing
to laugh at"
Peter subsidized % meekly
that Jan looked NJ him In AS
tonishment. II certainly WAS
not like him to quail under his
fathers words. He always had

could have happened:

said Robert, ringing the buzzer on
the wall.

Seating herself on the chair OPP
posite Peter. A. Robert directed,
the girl looked from one man 10
the other in the silence that fol-
lowed.
There was something ceremonial
and planned about their actions.
Her heart began TO beat faster as
she wondered what was coming.
Fania came in and kissed her
quickly with a few words OF well

Nourse. q well-tsilored man who

drew from q brief-case. Roberts

planned.
When they were all settled. Mr.
Nourse with his papers spread be-
fore him on the table. Robert Van
vliet began. Il asked you TO come
here today. Jan, 20 that we may
all clear up a few matters which
have been confusing US in the past
few months I must begin BY say
ing that ! blame absolutely none

You have been thoroughly loyal
and discreet. What blame there is

was grave again n his father

The beginning was. of course.
that night Of October II. when
Peter persuaded you to elope with
him the first time As ne tells
the story, you stopped at house
in a little town in Virginia and
were married"
YES" kaid Jan. since he
waited for an answer.
Il do not question the fact that
both of you went through the cere-
mony in good faith
But. unfortunately, neither of
you was familiar with the current
laws of Virginia A few months
before, ruling had been made
which required that. If the various
communities wish II. a three-day
wait is necessary after the license
is obtained. before the ceremony
may be performed"

Il do" said Peter. But I didn' I
think anything more about 1t that
night"
You See. il is a matter of local
option. The town in which you
stopped happened to be one in
which the three-day wait is neces-
ssry. So your marriage was lille
gally performed. We have found.
through Mr.. Nourse. that the taxi
driver who engineered the affair,
was working with the supposed
justice OF the peace. This Is not
their first offense, and they have
been arrested"
Then We were not married at
all. said Jan slowly.
You were not. But Peter did
not know that, despite his imme-
date desertion Of YOU. until his
return TO New York from France.
There he found letter from one

As Jan shook her head. Robert
resumed. Peter didn't tell me any
Of this. and he let you 20 on wait

unforgivsble.

LEARN HABITS
OF NEATNESS

A little girl can be taught to
hang up her clothes when she
takes them off, to put trees in her
shoes. to keep her handkerchiefs
in a neat pile. 10 put her toys
where they belong when she has
finished playing. All of these
points may sound fuss-budgety.
but the fact remains that the
child who learns habits of neat
ness and order when she is very
young has a really good chance
Of growing up to be an impecca-
bly, groomed woman.
The matter of posture certain
~ is important. No mother
should feel that she has done her
duty by her child's posture when
she has said: Now hold your
shoulders back, dear" Shoulders
should be square, of course, but,
if posture is TO be excellent,
stomach must be held UP and in.
chest must be carried high and
the backbone must be in as
straight line as possible.
