WHEN BETTER. 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!"

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.

of vantage. So Anthony caused the
