FRANCE GIVES APPROVAL
TO DISMEMBERMENT PLAN
Faris, Sept. 19.—(AP) France
through her government, today rati
fied the Anglo-French plan to dis
member her Czechoslovak ally in re
sponse to Adolf Hitler’s demand.
The cabinet, in a 90-minute ses
sion, unanimously approved the result
of Premier Daladier’s deliberations
with Prime Minister Chamberlain in
London yesterday, assuring the Bri
tish leader of full French consent
when next he meets the German chan
cellor.
The eyes of the Paris government
then turned toward Prague. Whether
President Benes, of Czechoslovakia,
would agree to sacrifice his country
on the altar of European peace or
whether he would fight remained a
question. But, in any event, it appear
ed France was resolved to stay 9u'
of war.
It became known that the govern
ment had issued orders to cease .tju
nation’s military preparations, while!
in recent weeks had placed an esti
mated 2,000.000 under arms.
The decision taken by the cabipe'
coincided with a fresh outbreak o
strikes in France. In the Paris region
160,003 building trades workers walk
ed out in wage disputes with con
tractors and the movement spread t£
nearby departments.

! Judy Rogers, New York heiress,
whose father has been wiped out in
a financial crash, finally lands a Job as
social secretary to the wealthy. Abbey
Boland. Heart-broken because Craig
Denby, the man she loved, married
another girl, she finds herself becom
ing interested in Ronald Birrell, bril-
If ant young attorney from Tennessee
who recently joined the Arm of her
father’s lawyers. Judy s father has
gone west with her stepmother while
her own mother, remarried, is abroad.
When Craig and his bride have a mis
understanding, it is Judy who brings
them together. Abbey is making prep
arations for her marriage to a count,
j NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY:
j CHAPTER 20
i IF JUDY had any thought that
she might be included in some of
the week-end merrymakings, fol
lowing the welcome accorded her
by the Friday evening dinner
guests, she changed her mind.
Abbey Boland was brisk, efficient,
demanding Saturday morning. She
gave Judy a list of names to whOm
notes were to be sent, indicating
the context of the message. She
wanted a menu planned, some
linen checked. She had a dozen
errands. One of them included a
purchase in the village.
About 5 o’clock Judy closed her
desk, put on the sweater she had
worn the previous night, and
started to the village store. Abbey
wanted candles, slim and ivory,
for a tea table for Sunday. Judy
was quite sure the local shop
would not have them. Still, an
order was an order. She would do
ter test.
f She was correct. The store had
white candlesticks, and green and
red. No ivory. She made a pur
chase of the white and started
{home. Ronald would be arriving
soon. The train, she noted, was
'on the tracks now. She had
walked about 100 yards when the
town car passed her. Not the
country wagon, this time. In it
{were Abbey, the Count, Ronald and
someone else. - She knew that
'Abbey pretended not to see her.
j She was almost sure the Count
{waved. The car did not stop.
•Had she been asked to ride, Judy
{would have pleaded the need of
exercise. To be deliberately
slighted was another matter,
j Trudging up the road, the wind
•singing through the blue trees,
:Judy forgot Abbey. She calmed
herself with the far view across
ithe water. She was nearly home
{when a tall figure came toward
her. She recognized the count.
Ifo swung into step with her.
1 *'Miss Rogers, let me apologize.
My fiancee, at times, has very bad
manners.” His eyes twinkled.
‘ “Maybe she doesn’t watch the
road,” Judy answered, laughing,
Bad manners. American
manners.” He shook his head.
“Love should be blind to any
trifling faults,” Judy reminded
him. i
“Is that another way of saying
that if I get too critical of Abbey
she'll toss my great-grandmother’s
crested emerald back at me, and
marry a good hardware sales
man?” His eyes twinkled.
“No, she won’t do that. She’ll
take the criticism and like it, I
suppose. Some women are like
that;*
“Not you ?”
j. “I don’t approve of marriage
even when the two people salute
the same flag.”
“Come, come, Miss Rogers. How
would the world populate itself?”
“Why does it have to be popu
lated? Love’s such a travesty. It
doesn’t, last.”
“You have loved a boor.”
“No, I didn’t love anyone, 'I
once thought I did.”
‘Then is love so necessary for
marriage?” he queried.
“You don’t think so, I gather?”
asked Judy.
"There should be some romance,
of course. But there are a possi
ble dozen or more people anyone
could wed from his acquaintances,
and be actually happy. Is it not
so?” , /
“To your way of thinking, yes.
To mine, no. Abbey loves you a
great deal, you know.”
The count looked down at her,
and shook his head, commiserat
ingly.
"And I love her. Never fear.

\ tfs love so necessary for marriage?”
I'll not tell her that her new secre
tary offered criticism of her,
After all, who am I that I should ?
Miss Boland is a delightful and
charming girl,' my affianced wife.
I respect her very much.”
“You used to know a friend of
mine,” Judy said steadily, “Mar
jorie Barton.”
The gay eyebrows were lifted
too quickly* “You know her?”
“We were roommates at the
same school.” She named it.
“It is a good school. I have
known others from there. I saw
Marjorie at the party when the
boat docked. Only for a minute.
What is she doing?”
An impish idea seized Judy.
Marjorie’s aunt had endowed a
hospital. Marjorie’s father was
wealthy, but not extravagantly so.
But Judy said: “The hospital en
dowment of the Bartons has inter
ested her. Ten millions is a lot of
money, don’t you think?”
Judy saw the dart go home. He
had not knovm Marjorie’s family
had so much. She spoke again:
“It’s an aunt’s money hut Mar
jorie helps her with plans"
Hie count looked relieved. “Ah,
yes, yes, of course.” Plainly, he
said, he had not lost out on any
thing.
As they neared the front en
trance to the house, the count
smiled again, and held, pat a lean,
broWn hand,, Yf
“Let’s be friends, can’t we?” He
spoke slowly.- “Abbey and I un
derstand each other; She knows I
need plumbing for my castles, a
good furnace, and some polo
ponies. I haven’t deceived her.
I've asked for a dowry, and her
father is settling it. But we like
each other, we have fun, and she
wants a title. Goodness knpws
why—but a title is my stock in
trade. I’m not being underhanded.
Please believe that of me.”
Judy eyed him steadily. Then
she extended her hand, too.
“I do. And I hope you’ll be very
happy, and the plumbing will al
ways work, and the furnace will
never give you trouble. Goodby.”
She found a side door open to
nights She was waiting for her
tray to come up when an imper
ative knock sounded at the door.
“Yes?” She knew it be
Abbey before the girl entered.
“The candles—did you get
them?”
"There were no ivory ones, just
white.’/ Judy extended them.
“put they ar§ cheap and crude!
I can’t use them.” She stamped
her foot. “I wanted ivory!”
T may have some.” Judy

crossed to a drawer, opened it, sod
removed soipe exquisite carved
candles. “I brought these back
from the Orient a few years ago.
They haven’t been used. Candles
really should make a lovely light.”
The ruse worked. Abbey col
ored. “I couldn’t take them, pos
sibly. And—will you joiii us for
dinner tonight? There are the
family, Mr. Birrell, Count Phil-;
lippe, and a few house guests, and
a dozen people from the city.”
Thus, it happened that Judy,;
dressed in a ruffled golden chiffon'
frock, with antique twisted gold;
rings in her ears, presently sat:
across the table from Ronald.'
The conversation concerned itself
with foreign places —Hawaii, Bin
land, Singapore, Rome.
Some of the guests had been to;
all of them, some had seen one or
two. Ronald had not been away;
from America. He talked about
his mountains and Judy felt &•
fierce loyalty to him. He was. so
much finer, stronger, better than
these people who sunned them
selves in southern lands across'
blue waters. What did he see ini
Abbey Boland? Why did he take
such an interest in her affairs?;
Did he know that she and the;
count were having a marriage ofi
convenience? j
She puzzled over it, smooth!
brows knitted, until the coffee was;
served in the drawing room. The]
group was going to the village to
see a picture, and she gave her
self up to the homely comfort of;
it. She did not. go back to the
drawing room, though, when the;
entertainment ended, and they had
returned. Instead she went to
bed. ,
Sunday morning she went aloneJ
to the 3mall white church at the
end of the village street. The’
service was sweet and simple. She
felt clear and clean as she came;
away. Coming down the steps,
Ronald joined her.
“You were there, too?” she
asked, and felt glad.
“I was there. Could I interest
you in a hike this afternoon ?”
Abbey would dislike that, she
knew, sq she shook her head.
“Sorry. There are letters to
write. And I'm pouring tea at 5.’-’
She took her own candles to the
great library where the table had
been prepared. No one was
around. She removed the pale 1
blue candles which Abbey had
used as a for the shoddy
white. She was admiring her
handiwork when Abbey entered.
