And when While he is in the drug store later Lisa Loring drops In and asks him casually to come to her home that evening 'o meet Kentucky Louel- Ian of Louisville. This is part of a well thought out plan When Lisa learned from the departing Mrs. Jones that Marlborough was to be • lone, she thought of making use pf the handsome Jones boy in en- tertaini..g Tucky Her only fear is that Marlie will not "loosen up" snd spend money on Tucky al- though he has a hundred thousand left him by his father. Tucky, lirctty and resourceful, soon real- izes that Lisa invited the bashful "mama's boy" because she does not want to share her real boy friends Mike Tulling, who had been put out of two prep schools, dashes up in his new runabout and Marlie soon finds himself at the Red Rooster Inn.

Marlie wonders what his mother will think. CHAPTKK V Twilight was bathint; the Cats- kill.s in rose and gold. Judy was .sitting on the steps, her chin in her hand, (razing un- setingly off toward the sunset and tlic lake. Cram rocked i)eacefully on the porch. "Marlie'.s making <|uite a day of it," the old lady offered. "He must be enjoying himself." "Or the old tin can broke down," Judy yawned.

"Well, no shame for it." Gram picked uj) her knitting. "If.s led a long, useful life." It wa.s at that exact moment that the long, low .sports car slid to a .stop in front of the house with a loud toot of the horn. (Jram blinked. Judy got up slowly. Marlborough jumped out with a nourish. "Step in, ladies," he sai I with a swooping bow, "and have a lit- tle ride." Judy's jaw dropped. "It â€" it isn't yours! Not really, Marlie?" "I'm afraid so." Marlborough looked sheepishly jiroud of him- self. "I bought it today." "What Will Mother Say?" "Well, bles.s my bone.s!" Gram got up and dropped her knititng. "It thai what you went to Albany for, Marlborough?" "No, Mrs. Miller." Marlie gaz- ed lovingly at his new machine. "Hut my car broke down right near a di.splay room, and before I knew it I had wTitten a check for this one. I can't realize it yet myself." "Marlie Jone.s!" Judy was awe- .struck. "Will you catch it? That must have cost a fortutie. What will your mother say?" Gram hurried down the steps. "Worry about that later. I'm glad you did it, Marlie. Heaven kr.ows you needed a new car. You can afford it, and you're old enough. You did perfectly right." "Do you really think so, Mrs. Miller?" Marlie leaped at the en- couragement hungrily. "I got to thinking maybe it was all wrong." "Fiddle !" Gram opened the cai- door. A man'.s got to have some gumption. It's about time." "That's what Judy said this mor- ning." Marlborough smiled. "Don't you remember, Jude?" "Well, I <lidn't mean for you to go crazy and throw all your money away." Judy looked prim. "Don't you go blaming it on nie now." "Tucky and Lisa said the same thing." Marlie motioned for Judy to get in. "So I guess that makes i*. unanimous. Your grandmother agrees, Judy." "You bet I do, Marlborough." Gram grinned at the thought of Mrs. Jones's return. "And if your mother sails into you I'll tell her .so." "Gram, you know what I told you," Judy warned. "Judy's an old stick-in-the- mud." The old lady sal back hap- pily. Step on the gas, James. Make it snapj)y." "Hold on to your com|)lexions," Mailie yelled gaily and started down the street like a newly made king. Judy Doesn't Like It Grandniollier Miller chuckled to herself all the Aay out to Monte- icy Corners and back. Judy's thoughts were a jumble. One thing wa.s certain. That Kentucky girl had certainly wrapped Marlie around her finger. And Judy did not like it. Not a bit. After all, ' Kentucky Louellan was a woman of the world, and Marlborough hadn't a bit of experience v.ith smart girls like that. Who'd have thought he'd have so little sense ;is lo let a girl he'd known only a f ( w hours talk him ii\to spending a fortune on a car? Hack at home, Marlie jumped out, opened the door and helped (Iiam out. "I've got to go for my dancing lesson." He seemd in a great hurry. "See you in the morning, Jude." Gram held out her hand. "Marlie," she twinkled at hiin, ".shake hands. 1 guess I've been misjudging you. You've got some horse sense, after all. If your mo- ther hojw on you too hard when she comes back, send for me. I'll fix her." "Why. thanks, Mrs. Miller." Marlie felt rewarded for his spending spree. He'd always had had a feeling that Gram Miller didn't like him very well, but he knew bettci' now. Judy looked prim. "I'li come in an.l get your breakfast." She started stiffly up the steps. "Don't buy any dia- mond bracelets this evening, Mar- lie." Gram sat down on the porch and laughed until the tears came into her eyes when Judy follow- i d into the house. At noon the next day Judy met Marlie coming out of the haber- dasher.-!. He wa.s loaded down vith package.". "What in the world?" She stop- ped and shook her head. "Now 1 know you're crazy!" "Only a few new clothe .," Mar- lie explained ca.sually. "Come on, I'll drive you home." They got into his new car. A Few New Clothei "\ fellow can't go around with n girl, danrini; and on picnics and to shows in Albany and places, with my wardrobe.

Tlie Secrets Good Looks h FACE UP TO SPRING! After our long winter, with ov- er-heated houses and stuffy atmos- phere, our faces need rejuvenat- ing. Here are a few timely hints to help you freshen up your skin and give it a petal-like smooth- ness. The first essential is to keep the skin immaculately clean. Wa.sh with gentle Palmolive soap to cleanse and smooth the skin, then rinse with cold water. The face and neck should be creamed daily. Never stretch the skin, because stretching paves the way for wrinkles. Pat the cream Pretty Tagger Holds up "Bob" Manion This combination of pretty giii and handsome dop proved irresistible to Conservative leader Manion during Toronto's recent Humane Society campaign. "I'll bet you catch it from Mrs. Jones," Judy .said darkly. Marlie sobered and wriggled un- comfortably. "Well, darn it, I ilon't see why a man can't get a little fun out of life. It isn't as tlinugh I intended doing anything terrible â€" " "I understand," said Judy. "But will your mother?" "Do you want me to bo a nam- by-pamby?" Marlie reminded her. "Don't you dai'e blame me I" Judy dared. "I didn't tell you to make a fool out of yourself. "Don't worry," Marlie sighed. 'â- Wait'll you meet Tucky. You'll understand then why a fellow would want a nice car and some decent duds when he takes her out. She's L honey-chile," "A what?" Judy asked drily. "Thai's one of Tucky's expres- sion.s," Marlborough explt.ined. "I see," Judy could not help smiling, "that you're even acquir- ing a Southern dialect." Marlie looked alarmed. "Ah, 1 am not!" When Judy told Gram about it, the old lady laughed heartily. "I like that girl. Someone ought to pin a medal on her." "Don't worry." Judy shook her head darkly. "Mrs. Jones will pin a medal on her all right if she comes home and finds out her lit- tle Marlborough has been stepping out buying cars and throwing a lot of money away on clothes." It was almost nine o'clock the next morning before Marlie was up for breakfast. "You look nil washed up." Judy surveyed him with disapproval when she finally found him down- stairs. "I didn't g<!t in till after one." Marlie yawned. "1 got along with my ilanring lesson so well that we went out to the Red llocs- ter and danced a little while out there," Judy Was overwhelmed. "Did you really learn to dance that fast, Marlie?" "Gosh, yes! Anybody could dance with Honey-Chile." Judy snitTcd and fell to getting breakfast. "So, it's Huney-Chile. now. I suppose it'll be 'Puddin' Face' next. To think you'd ever get that way over a girl."' Marlboroug'b didn't even bla.th. lie smiled expnn.sively. "Oh, being with Tucky isn't like ha\ing a real girl. Sho-^why she'.s ju.«t so real, it's like having one of the family around." "I see.'"' Judy lit the gas. 'Well, it's nice to know you're enjoying yourself. Only don't spend any more money foolLshly. 1 just dread the day your mother comes home." Let'« Throw A Parly "Let's not talk about it." Marl- borough came down to earth. "Say tbat reminds me. We're going to have a party here tonight. How's about you coining too? I have to have somebody rustle up a few sandwiches and things." "That's a fine inviti'tion." Judy couldn't help smiling. "Asking me over to do the dirty work. Be- -sides, you know you mustn't have a party here while your mother is away. You know how afraid she is something will be damaged in the house." "1 know." Marlie looked doubt- ful at the wisdom of tho idea. But Lisa wants to give a party for 1'ucky, and she wants to give it here because Mother is away and we can do as wo please." "Oh, so that's it?" Judy saw the light. "You've got to help me out, Jude." he pleaded. "It'll be a lot of fun. I didn't mean to invite you just because you could make sandwiches and do everything. I've known you so long, I just didn't think. You know I wouldn't hurt your feelings. Why you're the swellcst girl in the world." "Oh, all right." Judy felt a lit- tle nppea.sed. "I'll see you through <if coui-se. But I'll tell you, I wish every day your mother had stay- ed at home. She'll uat die when she comes back!" "Oh, well." Marlie shrugged. ".Maybe not."
