'of course, was I Serial Story A Page of Interest to Women Fashions Recipes || For lovers of green tea ' A-th GREEN TEA SHAM DEBUTANTE When Gay Needham, whose home is a Western ranch, inherits a large sum of money, her mother decides that it should be used to get Gay into society. Mrs. Needham moves the entire family to New York, where she connects with Bernal Van Gor- don, an agent who arranges for Gay to have a Stromley--Gay to supply the money, and the impoverished Stromleys the social prestige. Meanwhile, Gay has met Rodney Sinclair, wealthy young socialite, who has shown instant in- terest in her. CHAPTER II In the days that followed, Gay be- came sure she disliked Bernal Van Gordon more than anyone she had ever met. His veiled insolence and cool amusement over the entire pro- cedure of getting into society irri- tated her. But she was forced to go through a period of rigid training in order to learn all the little manner- isms of the socially elect. All this, clothed in utter secrecy. Only one thing made Gay go on-- knowing Rodney Sinclair. She and Irene were always running into Rod- ney, and the three were together fre- quently. The last time, at a movie, Gay had thrilled when Rodney's hand had found hers in the darkened theater. When his shoulder had touched hers, little shivers of ecstasy had travelled up and down her spine. Afterward, he had taken Irene home first, and then he and Gay had gone for a long drive. Gay could for- get everything in the sheer happiness of being with him--the Bureau, Van Gordon, and the quickly veiled hate which often flamed in Irene's eyes. Then, one evening, when she and Rodney came home from a show after dropping Irene at her apartment, CYR ORE BL TH [3 Fo Rg joint debut with Irene. BY Sharon Wynne Gay stumbled as she climbed out of the car. Rodney caught her. His arms suddenly tightened as her face was upturned to his. Their lips met and clung. Natural- ly. Inevitably. "Oh, Rodney!" Gay whispered. He kissed her again as she clung to him. Then---- "No, Gay, honey," he said huskily. "We--from the first, I haven't been able to think of anyone but you-- but we must not . 4 Afraid of Mother "You mean -- " Gay remembered what Irene had said ("You might fool him but you couldn't fool his mother.") -- "You mean that your mother wouldn't like me?" "Why, of course she will!" Rodney laughed. "How could she help it? But it isn't fair to you, honey, to be engaged, with your debut so near. That would spoil everything for you. I wouldn't be that selfish." "But, Rod, that doesn't matter if your mother . . . " "Why are you so afraid of Moth- er?" Rod was holding her at arm's length. * * * Gay turned her head away quickly. "I--I'm not afraid. I just wondered what kind of girl she--she likes." "Your kind," Rod assured her. "Rich?" Gay's voice trembled. "With background . . . " "What's the diffs, ence? You have everything--plus." "Do you think she--that is, if I met her . . . " "You won't for a while. She's in California. And don't you worry, honey. Have your debut and a good time. Some time afterward, when you're sure -- sure it's me -- we'll have a long talk and . » They were in = each other's arms again. Clinging together, lips meet- ing in eager, breathless kisses. Suddenly, Gay drew away--afraid. Irene wanted Rodney -- had warned her she intended to have him. But she, Gay. wanted him, too -- desper- ately. Irene could fall in love with a dozen men, but she -- there would never be but one. With the thought came determina- tion. Rodney loved her -- not Irene. She would make herself herself into the type of girl of which the Dow- ager Sinclair would approve, She was suddenly and fiercely glad she had inherited money -- glad her mother had insisted upon getting into so- ciety! * * * Anxious to Climb And so, in the days that followed, Gay put all her energy into becom- ing a girl fit for the name and posi- tion of a Sinclair. No longer did she go reluctantly to Bernal Van Gor- don's "school." 5 'Jrene was quick to note the change in Gay, and commented sarcastically, "Society must be getting into your blood -- the way you're preparing for your debut." And her mother no- ticed: "Honey, I thought you werent so anxious to get ready for your so- cial career, but I was wrong." While they both noticed, Irene was the more shrewd. Watching Gay daily, she finally said, "I suppose it's Rodney -- wanting to please him -- that is making you so willing to learn all the social graces?" Gay did not answer. Van Gordon had said' that it was important to keep up a warm friendship with Irene, so she musn't allow herself to be irritated by Iren's remarks. Love had stepped in just at the point where Gay might have rebelled at the falseness of her position. For Rodney's sake, she was as anxious now as her mother to reach the crest of society. Van Gordon, too, change in Gay. "You're actually getting ahead of me on your training," he remarked one day. Gay flushed, fearful lest those sharp eyes of his would ferret out her secret. "Do you thnk I'm noticed the too ambiti- ous?" she laughed nervously. . "No--no, indeed! Your ambition is effective. Twice, lately, I have seen you driving with young Sinclair." "He's very kind," Gay evaded, turning her head. "And very rich," Van Gordon mur- mured. "His mother rules Newport with an iron hand in a velvet glove. She can do much for you, or . . . " Plenty of Brass He did not finish the sentence, but as son as Gay was gone, he moved to a file. He found the heading "So- ciety Feuds," skimmed through the cards to "S," and drew forth a card headed "Sinclair." Then he rang for his poker-faced secretary. "Take a cable to Marvin Ploame. He's in Paris. You'll find his address in the file. Let's see -- Ploame's about thirty now, isn't he? Good dresser. Good looking. Polished, but impoverished. Plenty of brass. Has a way with women. Not above a bit of -- er -- scheming fora fair re- turn. Right?" "ii The girl went to a file, pulled out a card marked "Polame, Marvin" consulted it carefully, and came back to the desk. : =~ "Right." "Then take this cable: "Have pro- position may interest you if can sail immediately for New York. Sinclair involved. Money in it. Van Gordon." Long after his secretary had left the room, Van Gordon sat thinking and smiling, fingers tap-tap-tapping on his desk. There was greed in his smile.

Canine Wardrobe Dogs Have Fashion Section At Paris Exposition At the Paris Exhibition there is a section which shows how Parisian dogs may be just as fashionable and well dressed as anyone else. A dog, | after all, has really more variety than the average male human being on an average occasion in that he can wear color and he is not restricted in the matter of collars. Here collars are naturally the chief feature, and they range from wonderful plaited leather and metal studs of surpassing intri- cacy to the bulldog's halo of badger hair set into a plethora of riveting. There are little coats, beautifully worked, both in cloth and in leather, little boots--and if cows are shod, why not little dogs? The coats have pockets in which is a handkerchief. Toutous and Loulous The chief point is less that little dogs should have articles of wear and decoration even as do human beings, but that in this section human beings take their cue from little dogs. A col- lar of finely woven or embossed leath- er, for instance, is the idea inspiring the lead and also the gloves which hold the other end of the lead. When a little dog takes his mistress out he is at pains to see that she has the best that he knows. Her scarf is stitched, even as his coat is stitched, and she has care that her hose are not too remote from canine concep- tions of these articles. The tou-tous and lou-lous of Paris have long been blessed with all the refinements of civilization, but only now have these been recognized in a window in the International Exhibition which is vir- Dishes should be rinsed with very, very hot water if they are to be dried easily and have a lustre when finish- ed. If the water is hot enough, the dishes need not be dried but drained, Sues For Return Of Toy Soldiers British Peer Demands That Act- ress Also Give Up His Minia- ture Locomotives, A 39-year-old peer who lived with a mannequin in a Londofi apartment for nearly six years, sued her last week for the return of his electric trains and toy soldiers with which he ' admitted they had played "occasion- ally." Last June the mannequin, Miss A. Royle, 34, sued the peer, Viscount Kingsborough, heir of the Earl of Kingston, for breach of promise. The action was dismissed with costs. Now Lord Kingsborough has asked her to return: "Seven volumes of the Official Na- val History of the Great War;" "the volume of Sea Monsters; "the vol- ume of Famous Wrecks;" "three vol- umes by Taffrail;" six or seven mini- ° ature locomotives; four miniature cars and a quantity of tracks; one electric current control box; one storage battery; a quantity of wood and carpentry tools; and a quantity of model soldiers and model guns." Miss Royle testified that she had sold the articles which Lord Kings- borough valued at about $250, when she "had not a penny and no home." Although we pay a premium for the fresh eggs, the world's most highly- prized eggs are those of a dinosaur, which are estimated to be at least 75,- 000,000 years old.
