SYNOPSIS V
Anne Ordway, nineteen, is shocked
■When she realizes that their old friend
David Ellicott, is in love with her
beautiful mother, Elinor. Anne adores
both her mother and her father, Fran
cis. One night she and Garry Brooks
find a man making coffee over a fire
in a meadow—a charming young man
who gives his name only as Charles.
After Anne has left him, Charles,
through a second story window in
Anne’s house, sees a beautiful woman
—not Anne—take something from a
dressing table. Next morning Anne
misses her pearls and Garry Brooks
suggests that the stranger took them.
Charles is injured in an automobile
.accident—and turns out to be Charles
Patterson, member of an old and re
spected family, in the news because
of his wife’s sensational charges in
her divorce suit. Charles is taken to
Arnie’s house, where Vicky, her com
panion, nurses him.

Anne, dressing for Betty Lan
vale’s party, thought of Charles. She
had not been to his room, but she 1
had.read his letter again and again,
and as she read, the things her mo- ■
flier had said had lost their sting.
Marion, the maid, was holding out
.an etheral frock of flounced white
tulle. “You’re like a picture,” she
said.
Anne, looking into the mirror,
wished she might show -herself to
Charles. A little later, as she went
along the hall, she hesitated at the
door of the guest room. It was open,
But a screen had been set in front of

said, "Hello!”

"I got your letter.”'
"I shouldn’t have written it.”
"I’m glad you did.”
"Why?”
“Because now I shall never believe
the things they are saying about
you.”
“Other people believe them.”
"What do I care about other peo-
■ple?” She was flaming with her
championship of him, and lovely. [
He said, “You are perfect in that
dress. And now „you will go and'
dance with Garry?”'
"Yes. But I shan’t marry him.”
“Good.”
“I’m going away.”
"Going away? Where?”
"To France. Mother and I.”
"You are going with your mother?”
Just then Vicky rounded the corn
er "Oh, here you are, Anne!. Garry
is asking for you.”
When she had gone Charles said to
Vicky, “She must not go to France
■with her mother.”
"What do you mean?” she asked
tensely.-
And she listened, white-faced, while

Vicky waited until the maid closed
the door. "He telephoned two detect
ives to meet him here.”
"Detectives?”
"Yes.”
“About Anne’s pearls? Oh, Vicky,
how stupid! I told Francis to do no
thing for a couple of days. Anne will
find them.”
"Anne won’t find them.”
Elinor turned slowly and faced her.
“You can tell me what you

to do such things. But I had promis

had to get it.”
You pawned them?”
“Yes.”
"Have you the ticket?”
"Yes.”
"Give it to me.”
“But what good wiill that do when

"How much?”
Elinor named a sum that seemed
to Vicky astounding. "I’ve paid all
my debts and I bought there crys
tals.”
“And you have none left?”
"Not a. penny.”
“Then I must get it from my bank
as soon as possible.”
Elinor clutched Vicky’s arm.

"Why not?”
“Because — I know who took
them.
There was a breathless silence, af
ter which Elinor said with elaborate
carelessness, "Who was it, Vicky?”
I “I think I must ask you that.”
I Elinor’s head went up. "Well, if
you knew, why didn’t you tell Fran
cis?”
"I preferred to tell you first.”
"Why?”
"So that you might put them back.”
Elinor reached for her wrap.
"Vicky, do you know what you are
saying? I won’t stand everything.”
“I’m not asking you to stand any
thing. I am only asking what we can
both do about it.”
It seemed to Elinor’s excited imag
ination as if Vicky, still and compos
ed, was like a marble statue, against
which she would be shattered. “What
can I do?”.she asked sullenly.

din-
Anne was having a wonderful
at Betty . Lanvale’s party. She
young and she loved to dance
young men flocked around her.
When the music stopped the
pies began to drift toward the
ing room. Garry guided Anne easily
through the crowd. There was a hall
to cross before they reached the din
ing room—a great vaulted hall, hung
with tapestries and portraits of dead
and gone Lanvales. Set out in stone
urns were orange trees, heavy with
fruit, and it was against the back
ground of green and glossy leaves and
golden globes, that Anne saw her mo
ther.
As Anne came up Elinor said hur
riedly: "I was looking for you, Anne.
David and I are going 'over to the
club with the .Dorsays for bridge.
We’re fed up. Garry will drive you
home.”
"But, Mother?”

"I think he must be a good guy,"
said Bette Davis, Hollywood’s ace
box-office attraction, before meeting
Dr, Allan ’Roy Dafoe, during a visit
jto Callander and the quints, When
she met the doctor her opinion was
confirmed/ for he answered all her
questions about the famous babies
and showed her charts of their pro
gress since birth. Miss Davis was
"excited and thrilled” at seeing
quints in person, tl^tigh no special
showing was arranged for her. She
watched them fascinated, like any
other tourist.

"What?”
"Oh, nothing/' Anne did not want
to go with Garry, but her mother
wouldn’t understand. There' really
wasn’t any reason except that he’d
try to make love to her, And how
could she tell her mother that?”
Elinor opened her bag and took out
an envelope, "I want you to give this
to Vicky as soon as you get home.
Even if she’s asleep , I want her to
have it tonight,"
Just then David came up and Elin
or went with him, her head high, her
flounces trailing, The look in her mo
ther’s eyes and the whiteness of her
face had frightened Anne. What was
in that letter to Vicky?
When at last she started home with
Garry the rain was coming down
heavily.
"Gee,” Garry said,

Dead silence, except for a swish of
wet leaves as they passed a great tree
by the gate.”
"Did you hear what I said?”
“Yes.”
“Why didn’t you answer?”
"Because I’m not your darling.”
The rain was beating now against
the windshield, a cloudburst that im
peded their progress and obscured
Garry's view, At last they stopped
with a sudden jerk. Garry opened the
door and got out, and then came back
to say, “There’s water in the engine.
It’s hopeless to try to fix it in this
storm. We’ll have to wait until some-
orfe comes .along.”
Vicky, waiting up for Anne, won
dered why she did not come. It was
a dreadful night and Vicky was ner
vous as a cat. She had had her inter
view with. Francis who had arrived
before midnight to meet the detectiv
es. She had waylaid him in the hall
and had asked for a few moments
alone with him.
“It’s about Anne’s pearls,” she. said.
"I know who took them, but I’d ra
ther not/"tell you. I wish you’d trust
me to get them back and not push
the matter farther.”
“If it were anyone but you, Vicky,”
he had said. “I wouldn’t, listen for a
moment. But you must have your rea
sons and good ones.”
"Please,” she had implored, “send
them away before Anne comes. Say
that-it was all a mistake and that the
pearls have been found.”
“You shall have them tomorrow.”
He had then dismissed the detec
tives, and, coming back to Vicky, had
talked of other things. Through it all
Vicky realized his thoughts were
turning and twisting in dark chann
els. vAt Jast he had said, “I spoke to
Anne about going with her mother,
but I’m not keen about it.”
“Why not?”
“She still needs you. She’s just a
child.”
“I know.” Vicky was staring into
the fire.
Francis, leaning forward, had said,
"You’ve been more than a mother to
her, Vicky, and you mustn’t desert her
now.”
, “I’m not deserting her, and I have
thought of this. If you can spare her,
I’ll take her home with me and we’ll
spend Thanksgiving with my people.
She needs to be away from every
thing—from Garry.”
It had been late when Francis left
her, and now Vicky was waiting. She
went to the telephone and called up
the Lanvale residence. A servant re
ported that Miss Ordway had driven
away' an hour ago with Mr. Brooks.
Mrs. Ordway had gone on to the club.
So that was . that. As she wondered
whether she should tell Francis there
came, suddenly,-the sound of a motor.
She flung open theMoor to find Gar
