Penthouse Love . By ALMA ' SIOUX

CHAPTER

At the living-room door Doug took Charitys arm and sent a pleading look into her white set face, saying, "We've got to see this through. Buck up!"

Charity roused all her courage. They stepped into the doorway and in a second were surrounded by a laughing, cheering mob. Charity heard through the pounding of her heart:

“Hero comes the bride, here comes the bride,

Here comes the bride with the

GLOOM by her side."

A slip of a blond girl was sitting at the piano singing in a high fal- setto. Soon every one but Doug and Charity had joined in. broke loose when the song was over. The girl of the piano ran to Char- ity and threw her arms around her neck.

"So this is the bride! I'm Yanner Vandergrifi, dar1in'—an old friend of Doug's. Kiss the bride, boys! It's bad luck if you don't!"

Charity, in a daze, felt herself being surrounded by men, She stood like an automan while they kissed her—scme on the lips, others on the cheek. There must have been at least twenty 1n the party. When Charity recovered sufficiently, she saw that Doug was receiving the some recep- tion from the girls.

when the bedlam was quieted a little, Charity realized that she was sitting on a couch with Doug beside her. He had slipped his arm through hers and pasted a. foolish smile on his face.

"Here, here," he begged, “give the poor bride a chance to get her breath. And the groom, too-if you don't mind. Whew!"

Yanner threw herself down beside Charity with a sweet little smile. "My dear-we just had to give you a housewarming. It wouldn't be sociable not to."

“It was great of you boys and girls to drop in," Doug said enthusiastic- ally. "I-low about a little drink?" That was the signal for a cheer. Doug summoned Walker. As they seemed to be entirely interested in giving their orders for refreshments, Charity had a little time to get a grip on her senses. So far she hadn't spoken a word.

Yanner Vandergrifl, a petite vis- ion in a long white trailing evening gown, which gave her-the look of a doll on her bridal day, still sat be- side Charity. No one missed the contrast. Charity in her unbecom- ing blue evening gown-the wrong color for her white skin-looked like an old maid school teacher with her child pupil.

Yanners hair was bobbed close to her head and hung in tiny ringlets about her tanned face. Her eyes were blue as stars. charity had kept her long, thick‘ hair waved back from her face since her marriage and 1t aged her years.

Charity, as her wits began to function, looked over the crowd. One girl seemed lovelier and more sophisticatedly attractive than an- other. Their gowns were revelations to charity, who had never-been in- terested in her wardrobe—-a.nd had never worn an evening gown until her marriage. The men were of all: ages. But none of them was as handsome as Doug.

He stood out in the room 1n a class by himself. If he were not such a selfish, spoiled, spendthrlft — and things were different -- how proud she might be of him.

Charity knew she'd have to find her voice sometime. She couldn't be a mummy all evening. Yanner was amused when Charity turned to her to say haltingly, "It-it was nice of you to bring Doug's friends up to see us. I know he appreciates it." Yanner smiled sweetly and look- ed across at Doug who sat beside Charity looking helplessly ill at case. "We couldn't let the poor darling get 1onesome—on his honeymoon." Charity stiffened. All the others seemed to be busy enjoying them- selves in other groups. The three of them were alone. Charity was not unaware of the innuendo 1n Yan- ner's words. Her Temper came to the rescue agai? and she was able to say quite calm y:

"Doug—lonesome? He hasn't had a lonely evening since he's been married». In fact. he's been quite active -— socially."

Doug was astonished. He opened his mouth to say something and closed it, looking even more miser- able. Yanners eyes narrowed for a moment. but only Charity noticed. Then Yanners little rose bud mouth smiled again. “How - nice. I'm sure you're glad to see him en- joying himself."

' "Oh — indeed, I am," Charity looked her straight in the eye, ‘I'm not at all jealous of his — friends." She emphasircd the friends in a manner that left nothing to the imagination of Doug or Yanner. Be- fore either of them could reply Charity added:

“I'm s, very broad-minded wife- really. My husband's affairs- are of no interest whatsoever to me." . Doug made an attempt to laugh. Ysnner was furious inside. Charity was quietly making mf-cemeat of her-and she didn't llke it. But after all she had started it: it was probably up to her to finish it. Bo she gave Chantv a now-that-we- understand-each-other smile and said with a poor attempt at humor, "Full of Charity, aren't you, dar- lln'?"

Before Charity could answer Yanner got up and ran in the niano. banged on ft for silence. Walker had Just arrived with the drinks and was passing them around. The crowd quieted Yanner

Paderewakf gesture, while her ‘uanda swept over the keys for a moment. “Ladies and gent1emm—" aha lowered her voice in imitation of a radio announcer-"Miss Liepslbah Mariah Sunflower will now sing a little rural number entitled, ‘She Was Only a Farmer's Daughter.’

Yanner was really a fine musciiau, and she sang comedy number: like a professional. So the gang settled down hopefully xpecting a treat. Doug looked about wildly-tried to signal her to stop. What had gotten into the girl anyway? Charity wait- ed for the worst. She was sure the farmer's daughter business was a dig for her.

Yanner pulled the corsage of orchids from her gown, set it on top of her head in imitation of a freak hat, and began solemnly in a high- pitched country twang:

“She was only a farmer's daughter,

v Pure as the morning dew-cw,

Her cheeks, the color of rosies,

No paint had ever knew-ew. Then one day her father told her, "They're a-goin’ to take the old

home, And sell 1c, dear daughter, at auc- ti

on, Oh-where, oh, where kin we ro-am?"

Yanner stopped and put her fing- er to her lips thoughtfully. It sud- denly occurred to Charity that Yah- ner was improvising for her benefit. No doubt the entire society crowd knew something of the circumstanc- es of the Doug Temple marriage. and that she had been a farmer's daughter.

Everyone waited expectantly for Yanner to go on. In a moment she continued:

" ‘Oh, don't you worry, dear father,

And tell dear ma. not to we—-ep.

I go me of! to the city

The wolf from the door to ke-ep.’

‘Ah, no, dear che-lld, you must I18V——€l‘—~

I'd ruther lose our poor cottage,

Than that you should sell your poor so——ul

For a mess of pot-tags! There was a scream of merrlment. Doug's face was the color of a beet, charity's white with anger that she tried to hide. She must not let them see she saw through Yanners cheap little trick. After another moment of pretended deep thought Yanner burst BQHlILiDT/O sing: "The days dragged by like years, Way down on the old homestead, The old folks sat in te-—ars, Fearing their daughter was dead. But one day there came a letter And a check fluttered down to the floor. It read-‘Dear Pa, here's a million. Let meknow if you need any more!"

Yanner stopped and shook her head sadly, going into prose in her best bedtime-story manner:

“And so, boys and girls, the poor old farmer and his wife were brok- err-hearted. The mother took the check_ and threw it in the bathtub because that was the one place on the farm that was never used..'l'll not touch a penny of that. there fli- thy lucre,’ thundered the rugged farmer, his honest, horny hands raised to heaven. ‘And, by gosh, don't let that little tramp ever stick her painted face in this here shack ag'1n.'

“Christmas came. And the moth- er sat sadly by the crackling old log fire thinking of her daughter. But she didn't mention her name. There came a knock at the door. The poor old mother tottered over -and there, framed 1n the doorway, the snow blowing around her fair form, stood the daughter.

" ‘My dot-ter,’ cried the old moth- er, and threw her arms around the mink-coated figure of her only child. In a. flash a shot rang out. Little Buttercup lay dying at her rhothers feet. At the feet of the father lay his trusty old shotguxfl"

Yanner wiped her eyes and sob- bed before she went on. There were fitters among the audience. Then Yanner turned to the piano for her

grand finale:

" ‘Oh, speak to me-epeak to me- dotterl’

The mother she sobbed and she crl-ed,

And painfully, lips blue with fe-ar,

The daughter spoke up ere she died:

‘How could you think such vf me, father, .

Deafening cheers shook the pent- house when Yanner finished. She got up several times to take bows. Charity turned to find that Doug had disappeared. The party was at such a high pitch, aided by the drinks Walker kept replenishing, that no one seemed to notice the hostess, who walked out with her head high and her lips trembling.

5h groped her way lirough her living room and bedroom to the bol- cony. There she found a little bench hidden among some palms and sot down. And suddenly the ache in her heart was so great she lay her head over on the bench and began to sob brokenly.

Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder and for a moment stif- fened with fright. It was a man's hand. She raised her held and look- ed up-her face while as wary in the soft light of the May moon.

THE PRESS

A wealth of knowledge is gained by reading that we could not get in any other way. The daily paper which comes to enlighten us about the affairs of the nation certainly contains valuable news, but too often there are many things print- ed that would be better left out.

The Press is a wonderful medium for advertising and the firms with the most capital back of them can make the most use of this medium.

A paragraph in a daily paper re- cently stated that the consumption

Processes of infection and more successful methods of coping with them were described by‘ Prof. Reu- ben L. Kuhn of University of Mich- igan, Ann Arbor. while Dr. Walter Freeman, Washington, D. C., spoke

Taking nine reports found 1n medical literature, Dr. Hamilton found that in nearly 48,000 lung punctures. 124 accidents had oc-

count for them. According to one attacks were the result of injury to the nerve, bringing about dis- turbance o; the circulation, espec- ially in the brain. some physicians believed and had experimental evi- dence suggesting that an injury to a vein during the operation mlllhi allow air to enter, blocking the cir- culation and cutting off the blood supply to bnamt and brain.

The-outcome was favorable in the great majority of cases, Dr. Hamilton concluded. He advised caution in using the procedure, however, and outlined treatment, for the attacks, which included low- cring the patientss head, stimu- dation of the heart, application of heat and artificial respiration if breathing stops. -

One of the few experiences in which vitamlnE, called the repro- ductive vltamin, had been used 1n human beings was reported by Dr. Watson. The existence of this necessary food factor had been abundantly demonstrated in funi- mal experiments since its discovery in 1922. but little practical appllra- tion of their results had been made. Whether it could be used 1h medical practice remained to be seen. Dr. Watson said. His paper was a re- port of the use of vitamin E in a preparation ofwheat gem-i oil 1n 65 cases.

The oil was given to a number of women who had repeatedly been disappointed by losing their babies before time for natural birth; to some who were threatened with the loss. and to others who were ap- parently unable to become mothers. East results were obtained in the firs and second groups. Many of tho who had been frequently dis- appointed had normal children. Those who had been unable to give birth to children were not effected by the treatment.

These observations were in no wise decisive evidence, but they at least lent some support to the sur- mise that vitamin E was a factor

THE CODEINE “HABIT”

From its inception. the Council has kept its eye on the drug traffic 1n Canada, although in accent years the vigilance of the Domin- ion government has mad: muzh action along these lines superfluous. It is well, however, to note a. cur- rent trend which ls creating some anxiety. ‘The Supervisory body created by the League of Nations for limiting the manufacture and regulating the distribution of nar- cotic drugs has issued its estimated wozld requirements of dangerous drugs in 1035. The estimate sub- mitted by Canada compared with the estimated supply for the entire world included the ‘following:

The representative of the Rel- gian government celled at‘ ‘m to the fact that the estimated con- Bllmption of codeine in Canada came to 109 kgs. pcr million in- habitants, while "the corresponding fllllrc in the United States of Am- erica is 29; in the United Kingdom. 11; and in Australia 4." »
