Willie was as wax in her hands now. Virginia couldn't spend all her newly-wed days in shopping. Julie took her to many teas, which were nothing but high-powered cocktail parties. There was lots of bridge, too, and poker and backgammon. All the smart women spent hours and hours each day over the back gammon board. And there were visits, even in the afternoon, to that fascinating spot in the East Eighties, where you could take a whirl at roulette and baccarat. Some of the smartest women in New York went there. Henry was always busy up to five or six even till seven in the eve ning... . i.v. Virginia must show off her lovely Paris clothes. Julie urged her to do as the other young married Women did, and lead, during Hen ry's business hours, a definite life of her own. At first, the little Southern girl was shocked at the manner in which women crowed into the smart speakeasies at the luncheon hours cluttering up the bar, hailing the men. ordering cocktails, and gen erally making themselves notice able. "" Most of them seemed perfectly willing foi flirtation. Sometimes Virginia wondered if they really knew the men they talked to? But Julie assured her it was fashionable to drop in. Julie would borrow coins from Virginia to drop into those gambling slot-machines It was all a new world to Virginia, amusing, I disturbing, thrilling. But she did wish Henry could accompany ner to those places, and not just women! That didn't seem right for a bride, somehow. To her joy, one day Virginia re ceived an eager letter from her friend Chotty. Now that the pent house was practically completed, Chotty was keeping Virginia to her promise to have her come North for a visit 1 On the train, Chotty scraped ac quaintance with a good-looking, MAIWHALOTBY I lllPJtiW4MWMll7 PORTABL JAIL AND ROA&SIt i ' I V 'vxrcJ WicfNtiaVili IRawk coowt t all set ( GIANT 6fw cu, ft, glxo , , rr7m J Tow fries i at record Miv FIWmmwMuwmmntMv,!, JJWIIIMM""'1""" I UN I I II I if f i . ill III I "W A v Mi--iVN-NiiMiWff MmmMtY MORI FOOD STORAGE CAPACITY Larger tin ( you man room for r cry thing t Cold Storage Tray ha 325 cu. in. capacity.

She credited Henry Van Tyle with mil lions. Dario listened with politest attention. He had slumberous eyes, but they missed little. His thicK hair was oiled and sleeked back from hi forehead so that his head resembled a boot button. His hands were long and predatory-looking. His face was well featured, but crafty and sallow. Inexperienced Chatty thought he was perfectly grand. He paid for her dinner on the train, and next day they breakfasted and lunched together. He slippd away before Virginia fround her friend at the Pennsylvania Station, on arrival. But Chotty had naively given Dario her address and telephone number, and urged him to call her up. "I'm dvinir to see the swiftest spots in town! Let's be on our way, Virginia," begged Chotty enthus astically, after she had raved over the view and everything sufficiently. Virginia hesitated. "You mustn't gamble, darling-at least nothing high if I take you up to 13." She told Chotty of the fascinating gam bling house in the Eaist Eighties which all the crowd frequented. It was very smart there. "Where's Henry T Can we go there without a man?" Chotty was a-thrill. Was it her fancy, or did a cloud flit over Virginia's fair face ? But no! Virginia answered quickly, smilingly. "Of course we can go alone. I know the proprietor well. 111 give Henry a ring later, no s awfully busy." The limousine took them were. Chotty was quite awed at the mag nificence of the house. It had be longed to a family whose name was historic in New York indeed, all over the United States. Uti the thickly carpeted stairs went the two girls in their flutter ing summer dresses. Julie Trevor was Sitting at a small table with a mn in the first room to the left. She jumped up and greeted Virginia effusively. "This is Chottv you know, the girl I've spoken so much about," Baid Virginia, introducing them. "She's just come to town. She wants to see everything. She's all blown up like a balloon and I can hardly keep her down !" Virginia laughed gaily. Julie accorded an equally effusive greeting to Chotty. She turned to the good-looking man at her table, whose name was Cutting, and pre sented him to Chotty. "He's a grand rii v " ahe whisDered archly to the ni vp newcomer, thrusting Chotty ir,t her nlace. She led Virginia over to a small group in the center of the room, consisting oi two smartly-attired women and a gigolo. Immediately. Virginia was asked to go upstair and join them m bac carat.

"I know we're in a ugm piace, hut well have to face the facts. The whole crowd is gather ing tonight. Something drastic has Electric Power Plentiful Here In this immediate community. three concerns distribute electric power, which is quite an unusual set up, since all the power cornel from one source the large hydro electric plant of the Carolina row er and Light Company at Wa- terville. Hazelwood and Lake Junaluska are served by the Carolina Power and T.ie-ht Com Dan v. with offices at Hazelwood, while the town of Way nesville buys and redistributes pow er from the same firm. The town of Wayrtesville owns their own lines and onerate the office in con nection with the town hall and water denartments.

Henry's face lifted a little as he heard the voice of his young wife on the line. It clouded a trifle, when he heard where she was. That gambling spot; She had Chotty with her too. Of course sne could take care of herself and yet "No. I can't ioin you. darling Oh, I know, but I've been up to my ears in work. Things are in a ter rible shape. The deal won't go through unless we work a mir acle. .... Virginia gave a rueful sigh. He continued, a touch of irritability into his voice because of I the strain he was under: "Yes, dear, I must work tonight. It can't be avoided.'' Mft... .Till in hnA miietlv followed Virginia into the ladies' room, and had overheard this conversation. Virginia, her back to the door, had not seen Julie enter, and now de clared: "All right, Henry, of course if you can't get away, you can't and that's all there is to it! Good bye, Henry" and hung up. j At this moment she spied Julie about to retreat. Disappointment clearly on her face, she said: "Don't go Julie. It's all right, I'm through telephoning. Henry's all tied up in business," Then she added, petu- lently: "It seems I never see mm any more!" Clever Julie immediately took her chance to implant suspicion in Virginia's mind. She remarked, with a shrug: "Poor Henry! If it were any other husband, I'd think it the usual gag giving business reasons for something quite dif ferent!" - - a . "What do you meant" A flash came in Virginia's lovely eyes. She stared at Julie. . Mm Virginia, that cant be true of Henry," soothed Julie. "He isn't like the other men of tne set, AarKrur He'a different."
