Meanwhile, Van Gordon has sent a mysterious cable to a Marvin Ploame in Paris. No Room For Both Jock came sauntering up. His face: flushed, and his step unsteady. ¢ uShe --" 'He m7de a motion toward Iréne, dancing past with Rodney -- ghe ma-makesh me tired!" "I'll dance with you," Gay offered, but Jock shook his head gloomily. _ "Too--too drunk to dansh, fait, She mmkesh me tired!" Gay introduced Jock to Ploame just as Rodney and Irene came to g stop near by, as the music ended. Rodney came over to Gay then? "Next dance?" he asked quietly. "Yes, Rod." "She couldn't disguise the relief in her toné. "Rodney, have you met Mr. Ploame?" Rodney did not answer, Instead, he took her arm and led her away. "I do not care to meet Marvin Ploame," he said, when they were out - of hearing, "and you, Gay, will be bet- ter off if you steer clear of him. 1 understand he's been abroad. I wish he still were." : "I~ }--notice he and Irene seem to ~ be good friends" Gay sald, as she glanced back to see Irene gnd Ploame in an obviously confidential conversa- tion. "Yes, He knows the Stromleys well. Let Irene have him! But you . . . you're different. I'd ignore him it 1 were you," . Gay did not answer. She could not promise to ignore Marvin Ploame, with that half-veiled threat of Ber- nal Van Gordon's still fresh in her mind. i "Suddenly, she felt weary and tired and-disgusted. "This party," she said. all right with you, Rod, away." "It's exactly what I'd like to do," Rodney answered quickly. 'The fact is, no room is large epough for both Marvin Ploame and me.' Sinister Talk They slipped away soon after that. Gay was glad to go--glad to be alone with Rodney. It was so peaceful af- ter the dark, troublesome undercur- rents of the party. That Ploame man, Cand Van Gordon's insistence that she be nice to him; Jock, sullen and bit- ter; and Irene watching. her from those half-closed, glinting eyes. She was so quiet that Rodney mno- ticed and said, "Tired tonight, aren't you? We'll drive right home, and you can get a few extra winks, Tomorrow night is the Unity League dinner. I'm counting on you to go with me." x "Oh, Rod, I'll love going -- with you." His arms suddenly her, "You're sweet, Gay. We're going _to have a talk--about us--soon, aren't . we?!

It was just as well that she did not know that three people--two men and a woman--were talking together in a small room while the party guests made merry. Sinister talk that con- cerned her, Talk that included Jock, who lay in a drunken stupor on a divan near by, utterly obMvious to what was happening near him, CHAPTER VI Gay went about, the next day, In a daze of happiness, A date with Rod tonight for the Unity League dinner! The hours poked until he came for her. The dinner was given in a private dining room of one of the city's most exclusive hotels. The guests Mad just been seated when there was a sud- den hush. Gay looked up, Conley Milbraum was entering with his bride. Irene had told Gay all about the misal liance. Conley, scion of the wealthy house of Milbraum, had eloped with Mary Starr, a housemaid in his mother's home. This, apparently, was their first appearance in public. Gay looked at the wistful girl, whose big blre eyes darted shyly about the room. She was lovely. Then--to Cay's horror---couple af: ter couple rose and left the 'room. Women lifted their heads haughtily. In a moment, the room was empty ex- cept for Gay and Rodney and the un- fortunate couple. ; And then, the little bride sank in- to the nearest chair, buried her head in her arms.on the table, and sobbed heartbrokenly. Gay rose, went to her, and put both arms about her. An Instant Liking But the other girl continued to sob, "I--]--don't care about myself, b-bbut" you, Conley. They are your friends!" "What's the difference?" Conley spoke cheerfully. "As long as a fel- low like Rod Sinclair stands by. Tell you what--let's make this a party. The , four of us will do a show, then a night club." "Yes--Ilet's!" - Gay spoke impulsive- ly as she noticed a look of reluctance on Rodney's face. i And then, the four were in the Mil- braum limousine, and' Mary Milbraum was drying her eyes, powdering her nose. Gay and Mary liked each other instantly. The evening proved a suc- cess, despite its unhappy beginning. But when Gay and Rodney were on their way home, he said: "You shouldn't have done that, Gay. 'After all, the girl is just a house- maid. Nice of you to defend her but, after all, not even Con's parents have accepted her, you know." "But, she's lovely!" Gay protested. "Yes," Rodney agreed. people step out of their class and pro- tend they're something they are not, it just means trouble." Gay did not reply. So that was the way Rodney felt! Oh, he must never, never know. the truth about her, Pre- tending to be something she was not! Very Unwise Move The next .day, Irene stopped in to see Gay. "You certainly played the part of a fool last night," she said bluntly. "But Mary Miflbraum is sweet. I felt so . . ." "Of all the people In that room, you could least afford to pull such a stunt!" Irene interposed, Mrs. Needham entered the room just. then. "Van Gordon has just 'phoned, » she said nervously. "He's terribly wrought up over something you did last night, Gay. What was it?" Irene told her. "Oh, dear," said Mrs. Needham, "Im afraid that was very unwise, day. n a Shortly afterward, Van Gordon him. self appeared. "This Milbraum mess is bad," he barked. "I thought you knew better, Miss Needham. I've been afrald that people were already getting a little suspicious, This will increase thelr suspicions." "Well, then, why don't you do some: thing!" Irene jumped up impatient Issue No. 2--'38 C "But when" ly. "A scandal right now would ae? She bit her lip. Van Gordon was thoughtful a mo- ment. "I think," he mused, "we might align ourselves with the racing set. That crowd just now is mainly ath 'Southampton. I suggest, Mrs. Need- ham, that you close this house tem- porarily and take a place at South. ampton until: this blows over. Didn't you tell me you had a string of race horses at the ranch?" "Why, yes, They..." "Very well," Van Gordon interrupl- ed. "Send for some of them. Mean. while, move out to Southampton and 'string along with the racing and inter. national crowd. Avoid the Newport clique". "I suppose you know, Gay," Irene remarked smoothly, "that Rodney be- longs to the Newport group. But you made quite a hit with Marvin Ploame. I'm sure he'll be glad to escort you about." Gay did not answer. What 'would Rodney think of all this?. She could not explain, no matter what happened, But she was saved an explanation, Rodney was called out of town. When he returned, the Needhams were. al ready ensconced on an estate at Southampton, (TO BE CONTINUED) | - tn RJ vy Take Your Ease in Gay = Housecoat or Frock-- Both From One Design.
