Natalie discovers that Sunny is jealous of her friendship with Monty, and that she is trying to prevent them from being alone.

She almost loses her balance and is pulled back by Monty. . Jimmy later asks Natalie to consider his love for her if she refuses Monty.

But to put you at ease, let me tell you this. Jimmy and I love each Other. We .plan to be married. I never really loved you, as you know. I tricked you into the engagement only to please a foolish vanity. I’m sorry, but perhaps the future will help you to forgive me. In the meanwhile, I hope you and Natalie are very happy. Can you say the same for me?” Monty paused for a moment, then sprang ro his feet. “Sunny, darling,” he exclaimed, “of course I forgive you—and wish you happiness!” ■ WING &JVANCE/HMFS 9 Thursday, January 13, 193$ we left was all to pour to the He looked at her again, again at Jimmy. . “Does Natalie know about—about you?” he asked. “She does,” replied Sunny. “She knew it this morning before for the airport.” “This makes it perfect!”, Monty could say. He started another drink, then turned seated pair, “Have another whiskey and soda-- this time for Natl" he said, gayly reaching for the glasses. In a trice the bubbling drinks were raised- “A toast!” demanded Jimmy. “To Natalie,” add Sunny, “To all of us,* corrected Monty, At that moment the door buzzer interrupted them. Their glasses aloft, they slowly lowered them. Said Jim­ my, “I’ll go see who it is—wait!” Jimmy disappeared toward the foy­ er. His footsteps were heard to stop, followed by the click of the door be­ ing unlatched. To woman, simply. “Vivian Wallace, nee Morgan,” A bombshell in the room could have done no more to astonish the three. But the woman who called her­ self Vivian Wallace remained strange­ ly cool. “This is .an outrage!” protested the flier, recovering himself .quickly. “Scarcely that now," the woman re­ plied in an even tone, “The outrage was committed long ago—-ihis is 'but the sequel!” And as these words hung poised in the tense atmosphere, Natalie burst into the room. “Did I hear the door buzzer?” queried Natalie, looking about the room. Her eyeswidened at the sight of the strange woman.' She turned to Monty. ‘ “Won’t you introduce us?” “Why—” Monty faltered, “This is Miss-er — Morgan, meet Miss Wade.” The dark womanthe ears of Monty aloof, her “I am also Mrs. Wallace,” the woman said. and Sunny came a Voice, low, throaty —intensely feminine. "Is this Miss Wade’s residence?" the voice inquired. "Why, yes,” Jimmy was heard to say. “And is Mr, Wallace here at the moment?” the Voice inquired again. "You’re right, but” Jimmy’s reply was broken by the Voice’s' third query. “May I come in?” Double footfalls could be heard in the foyer. Ah instant later Jimmy re­ turned to the room accompanied by a tall, dark woman in silver fox cape whose face was indistinct behind a light veil. Her rich, • contralto voice filled the room although she did speak loud. She had not waited Jimnly to speak first. "You are Mont Wallace?” she manded. “I am,” replied Monty, “but who are you-?” "I am your wife,” announced the not for de- WAR-TIME PREMIER DINES WITH WINDSORS pip® B 'W’W 1 ks ' B |l ''-wH brows arched.

"Still the same old Mont?’ she countered,. “When yon have nothing to say, you just make a npise and try to bluff.” , Monty clinched his fist. He lung­ ed at the woman savagely, “If you weren’t wearing skirts — I’d—” Jimmy caught Monty by the arm. “Take it easy,7 he cautioned. "We’ll never find out what slip’s up to that way?' , In the midst of the din, a telephone had tinkled in the far corner. Natalie picked up the receiver. “Hello?” she asked, “Oh, hejlo, Mack. Yes—yes—” Her face was toward Monty as she listened intently. Without further ex­ planation she hung up. She motion­ ed to Monty as she left the room. Monty quickly followed into' the small kitchen. Natalie closed, the door. » “That" was Mack on the wire —•’ down at the news room,” she said. “He just told me this Vivian Sopie- body was over to see him an hour ago. She handed him a sealed packet of papers with instructions to read them before the morning edition in case he didn’t hear from her other­ wise.” “What’s Mack going to do?” Mont askecl. “Not a thing, of course," Natalie reassured him. “Flow’d 'he.know it was about me?” Monty queried. “Mack didn’t say — she probably told him," Natalie reasoned. Monty offered a cigarette. As they both inhaled, he looked intently at the girl he loved. It was their first real moment alone since the brief kiss of early morning, “Sounds like old-tipie hheller-dram- mer? doesn’t it?” Monty commented with a trace of a Smile. Fie became more serious.^ “You don’t believe any of this stuff —do you, Nat?” His tone,'was more anxious now. ; “Of -course not, Mont!” Natalie as­ sured him. Catching him by the hand., she continued. “It’s such W obvious fake!” Monty caught her in h^s arms. They embraced. He kissed her hung­ rily. It was ‘SO good to know she, trusted hmi.\ - “Darling/’ he whispered, "every minute you’re more wonderful .than I could ever have hoped to deserve. I thought sure you’d at least demand an explanation.”, “Poor boy,” iaughed Natalie, “scar­ ed of me—or of her?” “Well—not exactly.” “What then?” “You can’t expect people to listen to such a yarn and not get ev.fin a bit curious, can you?” "You can if the story is.self-ex­ planatory.” ■ ■ “What did you mean by that re­ mark?” ' Natalie gave a knowing glance. "Any girl with all those stock props couldn’t be anything but a very am­ ateur blackmailer. Mont—she’s just a rank beginner!” Monty whistled softly. “What if I told h(ir to go ahead— pull all the stops — see how far she gets?” B .. ’ . “She’ll,just get herself into a bad mess — and givei you a lot of free publicity,” was Natalie’s quick reply. At that moment Jimmy strode in­ to the room. He addressed Monty. “If you’ll step .inside,” Jimmy ex­ plained in a Slightly comic manner, “there’s a delegation from the sher­ iff’s office ensconced in the ante-room —and I. think they’re waiting to see you!” “Looks like your amateur is rap­ idly becoming a professional,” was Monty’s dry remark to Natalie as. the three started back. “Don't worry, dear,” Natalie reas­ sured him, “this is just another part of the game.”* Monty faced a trio of men, obvi­ ously not intent on social formalities. The stubbier of the three addressed him from the corner of his 'mouth not occupied by a cigar. “Is youse, or ain’t youse, Monty Wallace?” was the terse interrogation. “I’m Wallace,” Monty admitted. “Okay, boys, take him outside.” “Wait a minutel” Monty command­ ed, drawing back. “What’s the idea?

The woman claims to be my wife.” “Your wife! — !”. Natalie cried, “but that’s impossible!” Her whole being fought against the thought. “I couldn’t have married her,” Monty asserted, then looking at the women he added, half-humorously, “I could never have been that drunk!” Up to now Jimmy had done little but watch. This ‘latest sally from Monty seemed to relieve the tense­ ness all around. Jimmy turned to the woman. ‘ “You’re sure that I’m not the fel- Jow?” he asked sarcastically. “I’m in no mood, to jest!” was the sharp retort. The woman drew to the farther end of the room, lit a cigar­ ette, exhaled slowly. It was a dram­ atic moment, silent, deadly. woman spoke first. Her tactics advantage of putting the oth­ ers on the defensive. “I suppose you all wonder why I don’t shriek and tear my hair,” she began evenly. “There’s no need for histrionics,” she continued without a pause. “Mont,” she turned to face him, “you want to throttle me, but it would do you* no good. .Being nasty won’t settle anything. I have good reasons for coming here. . You know who I am—you- must know what I came for.” Before other voices could break in, the woman faced Natalie and con­ tinued. “We have something in common— we love the same man “What broke in suddenly. But her words were not woman, “I loved him once — I still love him. And as for you — Give you three weeks with another public hero with a good copy slant and you’d fall all over again!” Sunny dashed her cigarette vicious­ ly to the floor, “Let's not beat around the bush!” she fairly shouted. “Don’t tell us what we’re thinking and doing, What about you?” “Yes—what’s your explanation of c this?” demanded Jimmy.

A draught is a air which, striking one part of the body, cools or ‘chills that part, while the rest of the body , remains warm. We/5)n stand out of doors in a good st^^reeze and feel stimulated by the rush of. air. We can go in bathing and have the whole body wet and yet experience nothing but good out of the plunge,, If, however, we have a perceptible breeze strike only one part of the body, or if our feet be­ come chilled after haying been wet, such an expedience is apt to be fol­ lowed by discomfort in the part chill­ ed by the draught, or a cold in the head may follow. There is no ques­ tion but that some people arc more sensitive to draughts than are others. Fear of draughts should not lead to our living a .life shut off front fresh air. Living in over-heated rooms, with the air absolutely still, is to be avoided, for it has a defin­ ite ill-effect on the body. It is quite practical to keep the air in a room in the gentle motion which comfort and good health demand, without having draughts. The motion .of air-which does not strike and chill one part of the body is an 'essential -of good air and makes a most desirable atmos­ phere in which to live and work. Draughts may be avoided by open­ ing the window an inch instead of a foot, or by the using of window Boards to direct the incoming air up­ ward and so prevent a direct draught. In offices and school a good practice ?is to open the windows wide a reg­ ular irt'tervals while everyone .moves about^ -y takes some simple exercises. Those who are sensitive td draughts can frequently overcome the condi-, tion by the use of cold baths or by douching the chest with cold water. In this way they tone up their bodies to adapt theifiselves to changes in temperature. Clothing according to. the thermometer is -also necessary.
