AUTOMOBILES ARE BUILT. BUICK WILL BUILR THEM By LILY WANDEL. Perhaps he would have been posi tive that he loved Davia if his mother had not interfered. She never missed an occasion to draw his attention to the girl's good points and he had to admit that there were many. She arranged too many op portunities for him to be with her. He did not want the stage all set for his romance. He could manage his own lo.ve affairs. His mother aroused his opposition and to show her and everybody that he could do just as he pleased he began to pay particu lar attention to Gloria Waring. Common sense told him that Gloria would not make a suitable wife. He did not like to picture the future mother of his children smoking cigarets, drinking cocktails, laughing at stories a bit shady and Gloria did all these things. There was Davia, dainty, refined and tactful, swinging the conversa tion away from subjects too coarse or delicate to discuss, smiling in gen tle disapproval at short-skirted, red lipped Gloria. He liked to see Davia in his mother's drawing room, her yellow hair shimmering, her slender white fingers on the piano' keys, sing ing some old ballad in a low sweet voice. He loved. to hear her talk. She avoided contractions and slang. The unforced euphony was like pleas ant music to him. In everything she did or said she showed her good breeding. Davia would never em barrass him. Then why did he hesitate, he asked himself for the 100th time. Had this dark-eyed Gloria thrown a spell over him? Was he weak enough to fall for cheap attractions? He had abso lutely nothing in common with her. She was not familiar with any of his favorite poets, had . never heard of Keats, but she rather adored K. C. B. Her slang made him wince and frequently her ideas shocked him. She might be nice as a stimulant, but for everyday diet Davia was what he needed. He wished something would hap pen to absolutely disgust him with Gloria, to make him forget her, so that he could turn in peace to gentle eyed Davia and be happy. He felt he would be happy with Davia, for she was the kind of a girl he wanted for his wife, the r he had im agined in his dreams. A solitary round of golf ended, he dropped wearily into a rocker on the country club porch, his mind fluctuating between Davia and Uior ia, when the sound of his name came floating through an open win dov at his elbow. "Poor Jule Riley, I guess he will fall for her before long! The mat ton's voce sweetly'pessimistic. "Well," a second woman's voice, sharp and bridling, "what's wrong with her, anyhow? "Oh. my dear, haven't you no' ticed how she's running after him? But that isn't the point. I live next door to her; I know. She's as glittering and hollow as a brass jar diniere. A girl who pretends her mother is an invalid simply because she is ashamed of her Jule heard enough. Two minutes later he was in his roadster, his lips in a thin, grim line. He re membered having heard that Gloria's mother was an invalid and he was going to find out the truth about the matter. In front of a gardened .house he stopped his car, raced up the steps. and to the maid who answered his ring, asked for Mrs. Waring. She seemed surprised. It was quite evi dent that ' very few persons asked for Gloria s mother. "Never mind announcing me," he remarked grimly; "if she's in the back garden I'll find her myself," and stalked off. In a way he was glad of this, it brought things to a climax, left him free for Davis. He just wanted to be absolutely sure, then he would go. Over the velvet lawn he tramped straight to a clump of bushes where he heard voices. Tempted by the seclusion of the thick green, he de cided before going around and bringing himself to view, to peep through the spreading branches, and see Gloria and her mother unob served. An aristocratic lady, prematurely gray, in a wheel chair, her face showing lines of suffering and peev ishness, a tea wagon loaded with dainties, Gloria flamboyant in char ry colored organdy, a high Spanish comb in her hair. Julee suppressed a sigh. Davia in blue and white would have fitted in much better. Gloria was rattling the teacups cheerily. Davia would have been noiseless. Gloria began to whistle a popular melody. Jule winced ami closed his eyes. When he opened them the back gate banged and a short, fat, little woman, spectacled, out of breath, but beaming, came waddling as fast as she could toward the two ladies. "Here I am!" she chuckled. "Don't say a word! Im supposed to be in bed with one of mv bad spells! Ain't it a scream, hey?" "Wouldn't she let you come?" in quired Mrs. Waring bristling. -Lnucksr answered the little fat woman, sitting: down and Soreadinc her red square hands on her lap. "I ain't complainin', mind you. I know how the poor girl feels and I'm more'n ready to keep out oi the way wnen her hne friends are around, m just but I'll be jiggered if I'll play valid all the time, when 1 1; bustin with healthl" Gloria did a surprising thing she slipped an arm around the little woman's shoulders and dropped a kiss on her hair. "Mrs. Waring," and the fat little woman's voice was wistful, "I wish my daughter would bother with me the way Gloria does with you, givin these cozy little tea parties. Mind, I ain't finding fault with my own for don't I know my grammar ain't what it should be and, my land sakes, my hands " Jule tiptoed softly around to the gravel walk and made his appear ance. Gloria sprang to greet him, her voice ringing warm and mellow, "Mr. Wiley! This is a delightful surpriset Come," and she pulled him toward the group, "I want to present you to my mother, and this is" she hesitated for a fraction of a second "is Mrs. Brill, Davia's mother. Jule staved a long time. Even after Mrs. Brill had wheeled Mrs. Waring into the house he sat m the gloaming with Gloria True; she was smoking a cigaret, but Jule realized that her rouged cheeks, slang and what not was hut a thin cloak that so many of us like to masquerade in. Underneath was the real glowing, warm-hearted girl the daughter who .was good to her mother would surely make a good mother herself. Dont judge Davia linn too harshly," she pleaded. "I wasn t thinking of Davia, he answered, "I was thinking of the girl I love and how nearly I came to losing her!" An electrically operated machine has been invented by a Mexican that casts lead seals for freight cars, ex press packages and mail bags at a rate of 1,000 an hour. Society Folk Caught In Raid on Roadhouse Out at the roadside inn known as "Summertime." a gay party was gathered in an anti-Volstead indigna tion meeting. Glasses clinked, laughter bubbled and the Volsteadian principles of perpetual drouth rolled and tossed in a gale of merry quips and surge of cocktails. ' The merriment was at its height when the door of the private dining room was opened, disclosing "the law," blue-uniformed and uttering the cryptic sentence: "This party is pinched."' But the magistrate before whom they were haled, protecting and in dignant, was more broad-minded than the lone officer who staged the raid. The revelers were released and bid den godspeed and happy days. Spencer Bourke, well known in fashionable circles, condemned the outrage of the arrest in warm terms. How the publicity attending this raid and hrrest affected the lives of Bourke and his fiancee, Allayhe Guernsey, heiress to $5,000,000, is told in "The Bogie of Fear," exciting serial by Arthur Somcrs Koche, starting in The Sunday Bee July 3. Youth Eyes Park Spooners With Field Glasses; Arrested Spooners at Hanscom park have been watched. Special Officer Anthony found it out. He says he caught Allen R. Bow ers, clerk, 927 South Thirty-first street, eyeing the spooners through a oair of field glasses from a point . of vantage. So Anthony caused the vouth s arrest on a charge ot dis orderly conduct.
