A The manager of your local Creamery conies in contact with you every time you sell your cream, and knows your condition witri dying crops, grasshoppers and low prices. He has a feeling- that you should receive the best price he can afford to pay. He is in terested in your welfare and speaks your language. Managers of creameries 50 or 200 miles away never heard of you and have nothing in common with you. Their in terest centers in making divid ends for stockholders to make their job more secure. Now the moral of this bit of -paraphrasing is "SELL Yt'UB CREAM AT HOME" where they know your condition, and will do everything possible to help you.

Based on a story by MARGARET CULKIN BANNING STORY SO FAR: Cynthia 'Holland is beautiful, charming and clever, but so sel fish and domineering tliat Step hen, brilliant young lau-yer, sees their marriage is a failure. They Jiave a small daughter Ellen. There is no scandal attached to the divorce and Stephen's moth er and Cynthia remain on inti mate terms. In Washington, Stephen meets and marries Maris Kent. Cynthia is secretly vindictive and manages to make life almost impossible for the bride. Copyright 1938 by Lotw'l Inc. Chapter Three The first "word that Stephen and Maris or anyone in Maplewod had that Senator and Mrs. Kingsley were coming back for a visit was when they received invitations for a supper-dance at the club the night of their arrival. Maris 'had vowed to herself that after two embar rassing experiences she would never go to the club again, but she did not hesitate. She would go any where to see Mrs. Kingsley. In her, sharp of eye, tender of heart, Maris knew she had an ally. "Why should I lie to you," said Maris after Mr3. Kingsley had kissed her, and, asked how things were with her. "You were quite right in warning me I was coming Into enemy territory. Except for you and the Senator and Steve, no one here really wants me to night." - "And what are you doing about it? Taking it meekly? Pitying yourself? Get up on your -hind legs! Show them they can't down you. We must have a long talk. Luncheon tomorrow? O. K." Maris was just moving on to join Stephen who was with th Senator, when she heard Mrs. Kingsley greet a new arrival. "Cynthia! I don't need to ask how you are when you are more rav ishing than ever. How is Ellen?" "She makes me keep on living. I have nothing else now, you know. You must. . ." suddenly she stopped, then in a different voice said: "Please forgive me for going- right now. I find I can't stay. Here is Mother: she will explain, won't you?" turning to Mrs. Holland. But it was Maris who spoke. She came to them, looking directly at Cynthia. "You don't really mean you are going, do you? Please don't. I would consider it a great favor if you would stay." "Sorry," said Cynthia in a tone which was anything but regretful, as she turned away. "But you staged this same act before," said Maris. "What's the point? There's no reason why you and I should hurt each other. Can't we act like-civilized human beings?" "Mother," said Cynthia in a plead ing voice, "would you- mind very much taking me home with you?" Stephen came up to Maris, just as the two women left. "You shouldn't have done that. Marls," he said in a voice so low only she could hear him.' "It won't help matters. I'm not siding with Cynthia, but her position may not be as simple as you think. She is sensitive. . ." "Sensitive!" said Mari3 scornfully. "Everyone is watching us and we're quarreling about Cynthia ... our first real quarrel. She's got what she wants all right. Shall we make the scandal a perfect one, by leav ing too?" "We will not. Come on. Let's catch this dance." When they reached home late that night, the phone was ringing. It was Stephen's mother. She wished he would come over right away. Cynthia was there. She had been almost hysterical but was calmer now. Would he come over? Maris was in bed but not asleep when Stephen returned. "Cynthia said she was going to take Ellen and go away,"' he said. "It almost floored me... the idea cf not seeing Ellen for months .or years at a time. -But Mother and I persuaded her to wait a while before making a decision. She j agreed, because I'm so busy withi this case I'm on, to go with Ellen to the lake for a little vezt until I have some free time and then we can have a conference. She feels the situation is unbearable. . .says we'd be happier too if she went away." "We would." "Maris! You don't mean that." "She doesn't," said Maris. "Don't worry about not seeing Ellen, Steve. She hasn't the slightest in tention of going. She is clever enough to know we are always worrying abcut her... that she is the most important person in this house she never enters. Is all your responsibility toward her? What about me? I am your wife, you know. I'm sorry. ..I didn't mean to say that, but I had to. Don't you see, Steve, it's getting so you have the same kind of scenes with both of us?" "My one responsibility toward her is because of Ellen. Cynthia's only importance to me is because she can take Ellen away from me. I'm tired. Maris, in mind and spirit more than body. Help me, dear." "In any way I can," she said, softly. "Now go to bed. You have a hard day ahead." It was a week later that Stephen asked his mother and Maris to "You are right, Maris," said Steve "You phone for the car right away and i n call the oince and tell them they'll have to go on without me.' When they reached the inn, i was ablaze with lights and an or chestra was playing. Stephen, ask ing at the desk the number of Cynthia s room, wa3 told she was dancing. The clerk would send for her. Stephen said it was not neces sary, ne would go directly up t EUlen. "I'll wait down here," said Maris "You two go on up. I'll be all right." When Mrs. Holland and Stephen had stepped in the elevator, Maris walked toward the lounge. The smile left Cynthia's face as she saw her, but she danced on for a monlent before she excused herself to her partner and came to Maris "What are you doing here.' 1 Steve here, too? Yes? I see. Ycu made bun come to check up on me. Well, what have you found Can't I dress for dinner because have a child?" "You don't have to defend your self to me. "I'm going up. Would you care to come with me" "Thank ycu. I will," said Maris Stephen was in the living-room : S... 'H j? re -5 "Jr is ber business," said I IC t C Stephen. "Maris is my X,. , ' 1 wije." . Vv-K Prtrfys ' ; z - .A . st come to the afternoon session of court. It promised to be dramatic and he thought they would be in terested. He would have to return to the office for a conference with his partners and client in the eve ning, so they planned to dine down town. They were just leaving the court when an attendant came up to Stephen and said he had a mes sage for him from his office. Mrs. Holland had been trying to get him from the lake. Would hs please call her? , . . "Ellen has a cold," he explained to his mother and Maris, when he had hung up the receiver. 'Not serious... no temperature, but she is restless and has been asking for me, so of course Cynthia thought she should let me know. I told her to call the doctor at once and have him get a nurse if Ellen isn't all right. I said I'd go up right away, if it weren't for thi3 con ference tonight. Cynthia says that is unnecessary, she can manage all right alone. She is to call me at the office if Ellen is worse and I'M go right up. She said not to worry... but I do, a little." Mrs. Holland volunteered to go up but Stephen said it was a long hard drive for her. It was best to "I think you should go, Steve, and right away." said Maris. "I think this is more important than any case you'll ever have. If Ellen is ill..." . . , , ". . ." Mrs. Holland broke In. "Yes, if..." Maris repsated the emphasis on the word. "I think it quite possible there is nothing the matter with Ellen at all. You are- horrified that I could be so suspicious? Perhaps I'm misjudz-i- t.mha -Rut tr nv event. I think we should all know Juet what theaituatioa is." - - - alone when they went in. "What fortitude you have," ho said bitterly. "What courage it must have taken to put on that stunning gown and smile and dance... "That's not funny." "No? Well, what is funny is that you seem to think you can bluff your way out oi tms. Cynthia opened the door to Ellen's bedroom, then stopped back in amazement as she saw Mrs. Hol land. The older woman came quick ly to the door and closed it behind her, as she entered the living-room and faced Cvnthia. "Even now," she said bitterly, "I can't believe you could do such a dastardly thing. IJon't try to squirm out of this... I know how you pro tected yourself in case Steve said he'd be up. Please don't make thi3 more vulgar by pulling any of your tricks. I understand everything now." She walked to the outer door, telling Stephen she would wait downstairs for him and Maris. Cyn thia whirled on Marl3. "You engineered all this. Why didn't you mind your own busi ness?" "It is her business," said Stephen. "Maris is my wife. But you have never been able to swallow that. That's the whole trouble. And you haven't even the lame justification that you love me. AH you have done and tried to do has been done through hate." "I don't have to be spoken to like this. . And I won't be." "Don't say what you will do or won't. You'll do as I say. now. This, in case you haven't grasped the fact." i3 a show-down. And you lose. Come, Maris, let's go down to Mother." He took her by the arm and they were just going Into the corridor when Cynthia spoke to them. "Just one minute, please. You say this is a show-down. So be it. Last week you asked me to wait until I decided about going away with Ellen. I did. How, I hava reached my decision. As soon, as I can make the necessary arrange ments that will be in the next few days, I'm taking Ellen away. And I'm keeping her away. Of course, Steve, you have the legal right to visit Ellen when you like and of course you will know where we are.. I haven't decided whether it will be Paris cr the Orient." Stephen who had seemed stunned into silence, stopped clenching his hands t r.d be - began speaking as easily as-if what he had to say. was easy to say. "Thank you, Cynthia, for making everything quite clear at last. I have been confused by my love for Ellen, my wish to have her near me. I am not confused now. For once, you are right. I agree with you chat the thing fcr you to do is Jo take Ellen away." Cynthia retreated a step or two in her amazement. Maris turned a horrified, grief-marked face to him. ' It's because of my love for Ellen that I will let you take her away. For, with your nature, I can't keep her in my life without including you. She is not a baby now. ho will understand some things and see others which she will net un derstand. She has a right to a happy and peaceful life and I in tend she shall have it." "You mean," gasped Cynthia, "that you are willing to let her oil go? "If I must. I won't have her mixed up in any ugly mess. She loves you, she trusts you and it is right that she should. And you need her. You have gone off on a wrons; track, Cynthia; perhaps you can't get back on the riht one, here. If you go away with Eilen. you may do it. I hope so, for your sai:e as wen as ii.uen s. 1 will not oppose you, Cynthia, You have my promise." He tcok Mans' arm and turned apain toward the outer door. Sha stortp.d him. "No... not now." she said. Then. turning to Cynthia: "Steve has told ycu to t&Ke Eiacn away. You must knew what that decision meant to him." Well, what can I do about it... cr you? It is his decision." Don t you see you have no power over him any longer? Ehen wa3 the one thing you had. Now that is gone." "Don't dear," said Stephen. As if he had not spoken. Marl went on. You are an' intelligent woman? so intelligent you know when you arc beaten: so intellieent vmi Hn not try to bluff yourself. Then why. tchy make Stephen suffer? Why deprive Ellen of her father nlt.i- gether. ..a father like her3?" Cynthia had gone to the window and stood, her back to them, look ing out at the night sky.
