J------ --~-- EE ---------- ------ a -- LAD TEA A SHAM Sharon Wynne DEBUTANTE When Gay Needham, whose home is a Western ranch, inherits a large svm of money, her mother decides that it chould be used to get Gay into society. Mrs. Needham moves the entire family to New York, where she connects with Bernal Van Gordon, an agent who arranges for Gay to have a joint debut with Irene Stromley--Gay to supply the money, and the Stromleys the social pres- tige. Meanwhile, Gay meets Rod- ney Sinclair, a wealthy young social- ite. Irene has designs on Rodney, but he falls in love with Gay, and it is only because of him that Gay' is willing to go through with the preparations for her debut. "I--I--dap*t know, Mother, except --Irene's so clever, and 1 imagine if a man cared for her--she'd be cruel. There's something so hard about her. "I feel, sometimes, as though she de- spises us--would do anything to harm, . . ." "That's ridiculous!'--~ Mrs. Need- ham retorted, but her voice lacked conviction. "If you feel like that, the sooner we get this debut over, the better. I'm going to phone Van Gordon right now--tell him to have Mrs. Stromley and.Irene in his of- fice in the morning to plan all the details." on * * * ~The next morning, when they gl met at Van Gordon's office, it was Irene 'who insisted, "Let's have the debut right away--the very first of next month." - ' Her cyes glittered.

Oh, there were ways and means, and she was not one to hesi- tate. So the date for the debut was set for early the next month. Irene left everything to her mother, Mrs. Need- ham and Gay.

"Oh, Jock is all right," Mrs. Needham answered complacently -- "He's_ spending all his time with Irene." Honestly, I believe he's fall- ing in love with her." "You believe. . . ."" Gay gasped. "Mother, we can't let that happen! Irene doesn't: care anything about Jock. If it's her fault he's drinking so much--oh, I must talk to him!" * ® * But Gay did not talk to Jock. She got little more than brief glimpses of him. Meanwhile, time flew by. It was impossible to crowd in all the things that waited to be done. , "I hate to allow you to do all this," Irene said, a few days before the scheduled debut, "but it is a matter of money now, and that be- longs to you, Gay darling." Was there: cool scorn in the words?- Gay tried to tell herself it was im- agination, "I'm fairly busy myself," Irene went on, lazily. 'Rodney does rush one." ' "Rodney!" A shiver of fear went through Gay. She hadn't seen Rod- ney for days. "Ye-es." Irene yawned. '"Be- tween Rod and Jock. , ." Gay said suddenly, "Jock. Then you are secing him. I've been wor- ried--intended to talk to him--you see, I'm afraid he's drinking too much," "Drinking, my dear! You can't be that mid-Victorian. Surely you do not begrudge the lad a bit of fun."

"Oh all right, my dear. We can't have you worried, with our debut just a few days off. Gay, aren't you thrilled?" * Gay wanted to say she was. This was the first step toward becoming a girl of whom Dowager Sinclair would approve--but 'cold at the crest." Why did Celia's words come back to mock her? . No expense had been spared for the Needham - Stromley debut. Even nature was in a lavish mood when the evening finally came. _It wag a cool, perfect night with a gorgeous moon to add beauty to the roof garden when guests got tired of the ornate jade-and-silver ballroom in the big ho- tel where the party was held, Gay was exquisite in silver net over Alige-blue taffeta. Irene wag stunning in rose satin which clung daringly to her slim figure. The two girls were so different, it was not possible to compare them, but from the first it wag easy to see which wag the more popular. The men swarmed around Gay, constantly cutting in on her on the dance floor. At midnight, she managed to slip away to the ladies' lounge to repair her make-up. Irene was there, sittitng moodily in a corner, "Well, how do you lke asked casually. "It's--Iit's wonderful," said Gay. "So you've decided that money and all that goes -with it is not so bad, after all?" There was a hint of mock- ery in Irene's tone. "Sometimes I think you misunder- stand me, Irene," Gay answered earn- estly., "I--of course, I think this is wonderful. Who could help it? But - the cost--the expense for just one evening! It would do--that is, there wag something back home--a purify- ing plant for people to..." . "Qh,. so you're one of those dear souls who want to do something for the pee-pul!" Irene laughed. "But for a certain reason--is his name Rod. ney, darling?--you go through with all this." ; Gay's face flamed. "You seem to want to be unpleasant!" she flared, "Well, I won't have it! Not tonight. We--think how we have planned and looked forward to this, Irene. Let's not spoil fit. It's--everything is per- fect. Please--can't you see?" "Too well," Irene sald curtly. "Go on out and enjoy {t--Cinderella." Eyes Only For Her Rodney was waiting as Gay re-en- tered the ballroom. They moved out on the floor. Rodney was a marvelous dancer. And the thrill of his arms about her--the gheer happiness of his nearness! Gay was flushed and trem- ulous. Someone cut in, then someone else, and someone else. Gay moved through it all in a daze of happiness; Surely this would mean the Dowager Sinclair wouldn't frown upon her. And Rodney had scarcely looked at Irene all even- ing. His eyes were only. for her-- Gay. . ! Jock and Irene danced by, just:then, Gay "saw Irene laugh at something Jock had said, her face close to his, Her hand behind his head patted hig hair a second, then nestled at the back of his neck caressingly. ' Gay saw them stop at the punch bowl], and trembled as she saw Irene hold up a glass to Jock's lips. Her partner was guiding her out of vision. Gay wag glad. She suddenly wished she wouldn't see Irene again the whole evening. Her glance strayed toward the door. Van Gordon was standing there. Gay was startled. She hadn't known -he' planned to attend. He stood looking at tlie scene, smiling Gay closed her eyes. She didn't want to see Van Gordon, either. The dance ended, and Rodney claimed her again. She forgot Van Gordon and Irene. Nothing mattered ag long as Rodney looked at her that way. It was dawn before Gay got home. But she wasn't tired. She sat before her mirror, starry-eyed. Yes, her mother had been right. If she hadn't come to New York, she would never have met Rodney, And there was no one in the ranch country like him. No one in the world! Stole The Show Gay slept until noon the next day. Then, her mother came in, carrying a stack of newspapers. 'Honey, look!" There were pictures, Flashes of the splendor of the debut. Close-ups of Irene and Gay. One photographer had caught Gay with Rodney. She it?" she in her eyes like that! The entrance of Jock interrupted "Gosh, I'm all in," he groaned, sink. ing into a chair, 'What do the papers say?"

Lindberghs Back Fact Two Children Left Behind Is Taken As Indication British -newspapers . broke their months of comparative silence on the doings of Col. and Mrs, Charles ' A, Lindbergh, last week, in - dispatches announcing their arrival in the United States. : Some of the newspapers expressed pride that the Lindberghs had found in England the peace and se¢lusion they had been "unable to find" in their native land, Was Unobstrusive Host They displayed prominently New York accounts asserting that "scenes of enthusiasm like those when Lind- bergh returned after his Atlantic flight," marked the arrival of the Lone Eagle and his wife. These dispatches added that hundreds of automobiles blocked roads about Englewood, N.J., where the Lindberghs were staying, and that special police were posted about the Morrow estate, There were confident; predictions that the couple would return shortly to the country which had been their unobtrusive host for nearly two years in order to take up again their seclud- ed life with their children. ; Sons Left Behind The fact that their two sons ~~ Jon aged 8, and seven-months old Land its owner was caught by Customs principal ones are pituitary, thyroid, as an indication that the surprise visit' to their homeland would be a brief one.

Stockard of Cornell Medical College in a talk to -the New York Academy of Medicine. There are other elements in such' love, but lack of these three chemi- cals, he said, may account for the often observed cases of distorted ina- ternal affection, such as the women who show violent dislike for their babies. Both magnesium and calcium may be present in her body, but be out of balance. - These two are essential chemicals in liying tissues. Prolactin is a com- "plex chemical, a hormone, manufac- tured in the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. Its primary use is to stimulate production of milk. Studies of the endocrine glands of dogs, Dr. Stockard said, led to the human clues. The endocrines are the glands of internal secretion, and the" adrenals and suprarenals and the go- nads, or sex. glands, Bulldogs, Dr. Stockard explained, owe their massive heads and ugly faces to a peculiarity of their thy- roid glands. In them this organ has an unusual disproportion of cells with affinity for acids and bases. Female bulldogs 'frequently have distorted maternal instincts and will even eat their puupies. This distor- tion, said Dr. Stockard, is attributed to the thyroids. Women Spend More But Donate Less Both Sexes Would Rather.

Proper color selection as an aid to therapeutics is discussed by Dr. A.

Declares Girls Mature at Six Require 40 Years to "Grow Up" Girls mature at the age of six; boys not until they are 40 says Liam O'Fla- herty, Irish author of "The Informer," and to this he attributes the tribula- tions of mankind. , The tall writer arrived on this con- tinent last week, from Ireland, for a "work," ~-- "lI am now 40 and have only just reached maturity," said O'Flaherty. "I have given up drinking, late hours and all that sort of thing. Like most young Irishmen, I have spent years wander- ing, dissatisfied.
