MARGARgr . SANGSTgie
SYNOPSIS
Ellen Church, 1,7 years old, finds
herself .alone in the world with her
artist mother's last warning ringing
in her ears, to "love lightly." Of the
world she knew little. AU her life
she had lived alone with her mother
in an old brown house in a small rur-
al community. All her life, first as a
mew baby, then .a bubbling child, then
a charming younggirl , . she had
posed for her talented mother who
sold her magizine cover painting
through an art agent in the city •
Mrs. Church's broken life the
unfaithful husband, his disappearance
. and after .seventeen years of sil-
ence announcement of his death was
at last disclosed to Ellen. The news
of the husband's death killed Mrs.
Church. . . Ellen, "alone, turned to
the only contact she knew, the art.
agent in New York. Posing, years of
posing, was her only talent so she
was introduced to two 'leading ar-
tists, Dick Alven and Sandy Macin-
tosh. Both used her as a model and
both fell in love with her . but
Ellen, trying to follow the warped
philosophy of her mother to "love
lightly" resists the thought of love.
.Her circle of friends is small, .artists
and two or three girl models. Ellen
attends a ball with Sandy. While
dancing a tall young, man claimed her
and romance is born. A ride in the
park, proposal, the next day marriage
to Tony, and wealth. But she'd "Love
Lightly," Ellen told herself. She'd
never let him know how desperately
she loved him, even though she were
his wife. Ellen insists upon .living her
own life, maintaing her home in her
small room, even though Tony is
,wealthy ...; Jane, of Tony's wealth
set, is disappointed in Tony's sudden
marriage to Ellen.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Ellen, reading Sandy's note, gritted
her teeth and realized that she was
indeed in a box.
And so it came about that, with
the advent of the week -end, Ellen
found herself en route to the house
party—and in a car with two men.
On the way out Ellen had been
picturing that home. She had seen it,
inher mind's eye, as a magnificent
place of stone and stained glass. But
5n a way she had been wrong. For
Jane's home, though it was large and
stately and magnificent, was magnifi-
cent in the early colonial manner. It
was a simplicity so reminiscent some-
how of a certain old house with its
shabby garden, that broughtthe quick
tears to EIlen's eyes.
And then the door was opening and
the butler was unbending from his
dignity to give Tony a personal greet-
ing. And Tony, with an air of one
who belonged in the white house, was
instructing the butler to tell Miss
Jane that they had arrived.
Miss Jane, Miss Jane! As she ap-
peared in the doorway of the draw-
ing room, she seemed more attractive
than she had at any of their previous
meetings, Ellen thought.
At that moment of meeting, Ellen
was glad of Sandy's support rather
than for Tony's. For ,Sandy was
barging in with his usual carefree
manner.
Now the three of them were fol-
lowing Jane into the drawing room
to meet Mother, and to have tea.
Mother—a' faint reflection of Jane
herself—offered a greeting from •be-
hind the heavy silver service, while
from around the room rose shouts:
"Hello, Tony, it's about time you
were getting here!"
"How's the boy -how's the married
man!"
There were quick introductions =
introductions to people whom Ellen
hadmet only on certain magazine
pages.
Sandy had already disappeared with
the girl Margie, who was among those
present. Ellen had seen hint drag her,
unprotesting, to a window seat behind
a flowing damask drapery, Ellen was
telling Tony that she took her tea
without either ,cream or sugar or lem-
on, and Tony, his arm lightly around
her waist, was drawing her from one
side of the room to the other, saying,
"This' is • my wife, y' know!" And,
Jack, here, was in my class in coll-
ege."
Ellen heard herown
a voice making,
polite responses;. catching the double
entente of a sentence here and toss-
ing it back. She had dragged off her
small hat anda running s rung ng her slim,
nervous fingers through the tousle of
her curls.—Jane was still standing by
the doorway of the drawing room
with one hand resting on a bell cord,
with the other outspread over her
heart. Ellen,through the veil of her
own lashes, could see the hurt in
Jane's eyes as they followed Tony's
broad tweed -covered back down the
length of the room.
All at once, for the first time since
Jane had dawned upon her horizon,
Ellen was 'being sorry for the other
girl!
Jane's mother was g sa,in some-
thing, and Ellen bent near to listen.
"We're all so fond of Tony,"
Jane's mother was saying gently.
"We've all been anxious to meet his
wife. Jane's description of you hasn't
been very clear You're so pretty, my
dear—" Jane's mother sighed, "and so
young. Tony's a very fortunate boy."
All at once, impulsively, Ellen's
hand was reaching out to touch the
hand of the slim woman tinted in
silver and amethyst. Here at least,
in this mad room, was one oasis
one cool, friendly oasis.

As Ellen dressed for dinner in the
room to which she had been allotted,
she felt that she was touching on a

part of life so softly upholstered that
it was ,unreal.
Her suitcase had.. been opened by
some unseen but deft maid. Her un-
derwear had already been Iaid care-
fully in bureau drawers. Ellen was
glad that it was pretty! Her best ev-
ening frock wasspread out upon' the
ber, and beneath it stood her satin
slippers.
Rather wearily Ellen climbed . out
of the dress in which she had jour
neyed from the city, but her weari-
ness vanished after a warm scented
bath,
She wondered what time dinner
would be served, and whether she
would be seated next to Tony at din-
ner, While she was wondering, there
came a knock at the door, which,
with a fluttering of the pulse, she
answered,' It was a maid, correct in
taffeta and white organdy,
Ellen smiled involuntarily at sight
of her, and the maid beamed.' back.
Here again was friendliness.
"Miss Jane," the maid told her, "is
having the young ladies in her dress-
ing room for a first cocktail. She
said to come in negligee—the others
will be that way. Just—" the maid
was quoting, "a breathing, space be-
fore dinner.
Her. negligee? As site wrapped it
around her small, slender body, Ellen
was conscious of its dificiencies. But
She did not draw her hand away, eve
en though it was held so loosely.
then she hadn't expected her negligee
to be under observation. It was a
plain little thing of dark' figured silk,
cut along boyish lines, and with pock-
ets.
As she knocked upon the door, the
mirth died down suddenly, and then
Jane's clear, crisp voice called out,
"Come in!"
Ellen pushed the door wide and en-
tered. Ellen feared that she looked as
alien, in her plain little coat, as she
the
felt—for .
other- girls

in cleverly cut satin, in wide ankled
pajamas, in negligees that fell from
gleaming shoulders to swish around
gleaming slippers. Frankly, as Ellen
became one of the group, they ap-
praised her,
Jane was shaking' the cocktails --
Jane in the white satin that she so
often wore; only this time the white
satinwas cut with trousers and a
mandarin coat that had clever touch-
es of peacock blue and silver in its
embroidery.
Nearby stood the girl Margie,
draped against the mantle shelf like
one of the loose-limbed debutante
dolls that are so boneless and so dec-
orative.
"Hello, Ellen," said Margie, and
there was more warmth in her voice
than there had been in Jane's.
"Say, I'm glad you brought your
boy friend. He's amusing -the one
with the whiskers, I mean."
Ellen laughed. She didn't dislike
Margie.
"He thinks ,you're amusing, too,"
she said, "He's mad to paint you."
"Nude?" asked Margie, Her voice
had a slight rising' note, "Isn't that
the way artists usually paint their WO -
men?"
Ellen felt her color rising, but she
answered levelly.
"Some do," she answered, "but not
Sandy. He's a fashion reran primar-
ily, although he does stunning illus-
trations."
"Oh," said Margie. That was all.
The other girls were bending for-
ward, frosted glasses in hand, cigar-
ettes held before carefully rouged
lips. One of them, a dark young per-
son, spoke languidly,
"You're the first model fever sawn"
she said. "Do you pose for the fig -
tire?" •

NEW SALES MANAGER.
FOR GOODYEAR CO.
Announcement is . made by the
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company of
Canada, Limited, of the appointment
of R. W. Richards as General Sales
Manager of the Company. Mr. Rich-
ards has been for twenty-two years
in the sales department of Goodyear
of Canada, and has for the past three
and a half years been assistant sales
manager. Previously to that, he was
manager of the truck tire department,
getically and smoothed the
that shrouded her knees,
' Jane stopped shaking the cocktails.
She poured one for herself, with a
steady hand.
"I won't offer you a glass, Ellen,'
she said at last. "I know you don't
drink.. You've none of the obvious
vices. Is it—" she paused, and the
dark girl, whose name Ellen didn't
know, went on.
"Is it a pose?" drawled the dark
girl. "Your Elsie Dinsmore attitude?
If so, it's a good one."
Ellen stretched f in
her eat out
front of her, and regarded the toes of
her plain little black slippers.
"Call it a pose, if you want to,'
„,
she said,at last. Int not the type
YP
to smoke and be catty and get tight.
One has to be dark and dramatic to
get away with that, I fear—"
Margie, still draped against the
mantel, chuckled.
"Atte., kid," said Margie, almost in-
audibly. Margie was blonde.
Dinner was again a magnificent
jumble—all the way from the caviar
in its little ice molds to the magnifi-
cent birthday cake that was carried
in, blazing, by the butler.
Ellen didn't sit next to Tony—she
sat nest to Sandy, at the extreme end
of the table. "Below the salt," Sandy
whispered to her. Tony sat at Jane's
right.
Somebody was toasting Jane. It
wasn't Tony. -that was all Ellen could
tell. But it was sombody with a voice
well bred and assured like Tony's.
"There's nothing we can wish her,"
said the voice, "she has everything!"
"Yeah," said Sandy under his breath
to Ellen, "not quite everything. We
know."
Ellen wanted to slap hire -to do
more, to murder hint!
They danced after dinner, in the
same drawing room. When the danc-.
itig began, Jane held out herr hand to
Tony with an air so proprietary that
it gave Ellen a tittle kicked feeling
in the pit of her stomach. But she
scarcely bad time for any definite
feelings, for she was being whirled
off in the arms of the stout boy who,
like many stout youths, was an ex-
ceptionally good dancer.
And then somebody was cutting in
--one of the Jacks or Jims or Char-
leys who had been in Tony's class
in college.
It was the fourth dance before El-
len found herself in Tony's arms --
found herself being steered, with a
complete directness of purpose, to-
ward a conservatory that opened out
of the room in which they danced.
"I've got to see you alone," Tony
murmured in her 'ear. "This is the
queerest situation I've ever been mix-
ed up in."
"That," said Ellen, "goes double!"
"Gosh almighty!" said Tony. Just
that:
And—
"I wonder why I carne--" Ellen
asked of hien, very seriously.
Tony's hands were holding leers so
tightly that her wedding ring bit into
the two fingers next to it.
"Have they been giving you e, bug-
gy ride?" he asked Ellen, "I heard
that they looked you over before din -
nen Margie told ate,"
"They tried to," Ellen told him,
"but I can take care of myself."
'Sometimes," said 'Cony, "I wish`,
you couldn't!"
"What 'vas the idea, anyway?" El-
len,
wanted to know. "This party, t
mean. If it hadn't been for Sandy,
andfor the way he precipitated me
into it, it would have all the earmarks
of being an annotmeement for you
and Jane of something or other, I
feel like' a guilty secret,"
"You may be guilty," said Tony,
'but .you're to secret no't arty
dark silk
morel To tell you the truth, Ellen,"
he admitted, "I don't quite .get the
hang of this thing, myself, Believe
it or not—when the party came up
that night, it was just sheer devilish-•,
ness on Jane's part, 1 realized it at
the time; it took me off my feet for
a moment, She'd said nothing about
any party to me, before, She just
said it to get your goat. I'm not even•

have told you this if Sandy hadn't
made her come through in a bag way.
!!Then he did I was tickled to death.
It gave me a chance to be with you
again, I told a dozen lies -white ones
-about how my friends would feel—
and yours—
So that was that! Ellen all along
had suspected, from Tony's bewilder-
ment on the night of the impromptu
meeting, that there had been some-
thing odd in back of the birthday
party arrangements,
