Ha­ gen. had gone. She had gone in a police patrol to jail, lovely Karen Mallory, who had more proposals of marriage than any other young wo­ man on Manhattan or Long Island for that matter. ‘Fox’ years Karen was to remember that ride to the jail. With her went Violet, the girl who had ibeen driving drunk, and two other wo­ men who were to serve two-day sen­ tences for traffic violations. Violet kept a steady moaning all the way. “It’s my head, it feels like a whole marimba iband! Won­ der if they’ll let me have a drink in jail?” The officer, riding at the door, foot up on the opposite seat, said he thought not. Behind them, Karen could see a string of taxis carrying newspaper men and ■photographers to the jail Karen two strangers over to a low for Miss tone, the large “They’re still after me,” thought, with a smile. “Snv nf.fi nor , Who’S this getting so demanded one dame excited of the ‘Say, officer, that everybody’s about .her?” women. “Ask her,” “All right. The woman leaned towards Karen who sat opposite her. “Karen Mallory.” “What! Not the girl that’s always getting into the newspapers?” The woman just gasped.

Out with you.” Together the three trouped inside the big gray pile. Under the high lights of the registration room they faced a man in a steel mesli cage. But where Karen was there was to be no peace. The camerman had arrived, arrived in time to see Ka­ ren pass over to the officer her gorgeous sapphire engagement ring, •her watch and hex’ money. “Can’t I keep some of that?” Ka­ ren asked as she counted out the bills. “The matron will let yoxx some as you need it; now moving.” said the officer. What’s your name?” swell oempany all remarked. “Is it true all the money in least! Only five days, party! the ■ was this , and They jail?” Karen minute,” said have keep In Prison Garb stand­ not, we’re pretty be with me then?” said Karen, pointing Shortly Karen Mallory was ing outside the shower room in a checked gingham dress. Her blonde (beauty in that plain garb, with the gray-painted walls as background was startling. The matron smiled at her. “This way, Miss Mallory, come along.” “Shall I be in a cell alone?” “I’m afraid crowded.” “May Violet “Violet?” “This girl,” to hex- friend of the bullpen. “That can be arranged.” The twist of a dial and the cell dooi- opened. Karen and Violet were at the end of their journey. Karen, looking aiound the grey walls, felt a suddexx desperation. Hex’ anger had cooled and she felt a des­ perate desire to cry. As she walk­ ed over to hex’ bunk and sat down she saw that in that cell block were two other girls. They were eyeing her with deep interest. Even here in jail, the Mallory name was some­ thing to conjure with, it appeared. Karen could not realize the grape­ vine system of news which travels through a jail like quicksilver, tra­ vels for those who are so eager for news, any news to break the mono­ tony to help the time pass more quickly. “I'm hungry,” Karen suddenly remembered. She’d had only coffee for breakfast, for Lawton had come for hex* to .hurry her to court. Karen, disconsolate, wondered about Lawton and her mother. “Oh, my head!” Violet interpos­ ed and she lay down on the gray blanket, which covered ;.her bunk. “If, I live through today, maybe I’ll be all fight.” “T;ry to sleep,” Kax’en suggested, “I would if they’d keep those hammers quiet!” “Miss Mallory, your attorney has oi'dered your meals sent in from Pierre’s. He says you may want some lunch.” Karen saw the straighten up. “Yes,” .She came Kilroy and spoke in “May I order something othei’ girls in my cell?" “No, but if yoxx put in a order and there is enough for them, nobody can object,” the matron said with, a smile. “Fine,” Karen turned. “What do you girls want to eat?” They were all silent, reix said, tion. “Could wanted?” “Of course. “I’m from down South, and would like fried chicken!” she said. “Right. Violet, what want?” “Never speak to me of as long as I live!” came fled voice from her bunk. “Black coffee for you, could drink some tomato couldn’t you?” So Karen gave the order, tell them to hurry it up.” ‘“The treat’s on me,” Ka- as she noted the hesita- we have anything we one of them asked. I do you food again in a muf- and you juice, “And Her First Visitor given attorney,” said Miss led into the matron’s off an interviewing Hardly had the order been when the matron came back to get Karen for her first visitor. “It’s youx’ Kilroy.

She’s frantic She says we've got to get you out before the party.” “Cancel the thing. I didn’t want it anyway!” “How can we? Everything’s ar­ ranged, and lots of people a.re com­ ing up from out of town for it!” “Well, put if days, we’ll have for me!” “Karen, how your mother and dad. I think you are enjoying this." “Certainly I am!” “You really hate it!” Ping drop­ ped a kiss on the top of her honey­ colored hair. “Karen, you’re diffi­ cult ! ’’ “Sorry? What to back out?’ “I’d like to spank you! what!” “I dare you!” off for a couple of a coming-out party can you!

That meant cutting off the xnajoi- part of his income. And Law ton had an expensive family. “Karen if you’ll apologize to th« Judge I think he’ll let you o.ui by tomorrow morning. He’s served his purpose—” “That’s just the darling Jim! Of course, he’s served liis purpose.” Hei’ impertinent little nose, her laughing eyes, were incongruous in this place. “That’s just what I’m complaining about. He’s a silly stuffed shirt that thought he’d get a lot of publicity by sending me to jail. Well, I’m going to see he gets it!” “Karen.” Lawton pleaded, almost on his knees. “Stoddard is a great guy. He’d have given you a break if you had behaved in court! You point, my dear, k After Twins Were Born Mrs. H.

Just try­ ing to fix the damned thing up.” “Now, darling!” Ping was nervous Karen was carrying the whole thing too far. So they quarreled, Karen with flippancy. Lawton with rising anger. Finally he gave up. “Karen, I’nx goiny away. Maybe a night in this place will teach you some sense.” '“How can you leave hex* here, Jim?” Ping demanded. “Lord, even the smell of the place makes sick. I feel as though I’d a carbolic bath for days!” Then Miss Kilroy came Miss Mallory’s lunch from the hotel. “Sorry, gentlemen, served.” Karen rose drawing-room manner,. (Farrington was so exasperated he could have slapped hex’ face. ‘Mother will be wild. I don’t know what 1 will tell her.” Ping hunted nervous­ ly fox* a cigarette. “That’s too bad, Ping.
