"But whatever she said it and when she came to she was very the hour." Just a week later Cherry sat opposite op-posite the. judge in his comfortable chambers. His kindly eyes smiled at her. "It's the summer plan the camp at Big Basin you wanted to see me about?" "No, not unless you object Beck and I can't wait to pack. We go next Tuesday, and the girls begin to come in Saturday." "Then what was the trouble, Cherry? Cher-ry? Your letter said 'trouble.' " "It's this. Amy came down to see me Wednesday. I didn't know she, was going to. She wanted to tell me all about the trip and this Navy ensign she's so crazy about" "Yes, but why look so distressed about that? You like Amy?" "I do like Amy. Amy's my of course we're pretty closely related, Amy and I. But one thing is one thing is that your mother doesn't like me to see Amy too much. She asked me she practically asked me not to come to the house any more." A shadow came over the genial face; the judge's forehead contracted contract-ed a little. "My mother did?" "Yes. She said it wasn't decent." "H'm!" the judge said, gravely enough. "I'm sorry she did that. You know how much we all like you, and what reason I have for feeling that I've something to make up to jrou." - . ( "Amy came in while your mother was talking to me. I'd reached the house before Amy did, and I was in my room, reading, and your mother came in and said how much she resented re-sented my being there." "How much did Amy hear?" "Well, your mother had just said that if I didn't break off all my relationships re-lationships there, she'd have to let everyone know, and Amy too, that we were half sisters. And she said that would hurt my father, and my mother, too. And I said that that meant injuring the reputation of her own son! Amy heard that" "And guessed the rest?" "Guessed that it was you, instead of your brother Fred. After your mother had gone Amy said that she always had suspected that I was" Cherry's throat thickened, she looked at him imploringly, "that I was your daughter." "I see," he said thoughtfully. "I didn't contradict her I couldn't say anything. I kept trying try-ing to think which would be worse, telling her, or letting it go and talking talk-ing some day to you." "Fran and I were in Los Angeles then?" - "Yes. And then I went to Palo Alto and didn't see you, and I knew that your mother cared more about keeping it from Amy than anything else, and I hoped that Amy wouldn't talk! But now Amy's back, and she wants me to come in to spend the night with her next Saturday, and go the Quatres Arts Ball, and I don't know what to do!" "My mother's a proud woman, Cherry," the judge said, after a silence. si-lence. "She's had a sad life." "She had been living in an apartment apart-ment hotel and hating it Fred and his wife, Amelia, had had a little place in Burlingame. But after years five or six years, I think, she was going to have a baby. Old Wellington, Well-ington, her father, was an immensely immense-ly rich man; he was going to come on from New York for the event, and do everything for the baby. Fred, who'd been restless and unsatisfied, un-satisfied, settled down all of a sudden. Mother had opened the city house by this time, and they were all together. The baby w as coming in November" "I know. I'm four days older than Amy." Cherry, listening ab-sorbedly, ab-sorbedly, put in as he paused. "But you came two months too soon. That's all part of the story. Well' My wife and I and little Gregg got here just a week or two before be-fore Amy was born, and what we learned was rather confusing. It seems that Emma's sister, Charlotte Char-lotte Rawlings much younger than 6he was sometimes at the house, and that Fred had seen this girl, and had taken advantage of her. Emma knew nothing of it until almost al-most the end when Lottie came to her and told her. Emma felt that nobody must know, that her sis said," the judge admitted with a didn't last long, for Amelia fainted, ill and the baby was born within ter's secret must be kept now, of all times, when Fred's wife, who wasn't ajiy too strong, was expect ing her own baby any day. "But poor little Lottie couldn't bear it. One night she suddenly appeared in my brother's room, as he was reading to his wife, and accused ac-cused him of having ruined her life!" "If I was the baby," Cherry said, hardly breathing. "I must have been born just about that time, too." "You were only a few days old. Your mother, poor Lottie, was perhaps per-haps weak and feverish, hardly knowing what she was doing." "But she couldn't have come to the house. She'd have been too weak." "She may have been in the house with Emma. I have always suspected sus-pected that Emma was there and the baby was born there. However it was, she rushed into Amelia's room. Amelia had lost all control of herself; she was sobbing bitterly bitter-ly .. ." "Did she say anything about the baby?" "No. Amelia never knew about the baby. "Of course I don't know what she said," the judge admitted with a faint frown. "But whatever what-ever she said, it didn't last long, for Amelia fainted, and when she came to she was very ill, and the baby was born within the hour." Emma came hurrying down and took Lottie away, and a few days later Emma left my mother, and she and Lottie went to live somewhere some-where in the country. "Fred was killed in a motor smash a few years later, and Amelia Ame-lia didn't survive long. My mother took charge of Amy, and the mcney my brother left for you I administered admin-istered as best I could. Emma had sent her sister to this school of Saint Dorothea's for a while, when she was little but Lottie hated it and came back. "A school of character," charac-ter," as the catalogue says, and she wanted you sent there." Cherry was standing; she came over to his chair, bent over him swiftly, and he felt her warm lips against his forehead. "I love you! There's never any trouble for anyone where you are!" she said, and was gone. "Oh, the relief, Kelly!" she wrote him from camp. "The relief of doing do-ing something you simply don't want to do, and having it over, and your soul as clear as a bell! "When will you see me? When college col-lege opens. For three delicious weeks before that, as soon as we close camp, Rebecca and I and a darling girl named Lucie Fargo are going on a wild cruise. Up to Victoria Vic-toria we'll actually be out of America, Amer-ica, imagine! and on the way home we're going to stay with Lucie's grandmother, who has a country hotel. ho-tel. That's up in Mendocino County, Coun-ty, not far from Aunt Emma's place; it's only about thirty miles. So I've written Aunt Emma that I'm coming over to see her." And she signed it "Your devoted and obedient Marchioness." But despite high spirits she dreaded dread-ed the visit to Emma, and was glad that it was to be put off until the end of the holiday. In due time she and Rebecca and Lucie drove along the ocean coast, and into high mountains, and through valleys where great rivers raced. It was all glorious and restful rest-ful and exciting. Wben they were back in California with the great mountains and the days of laughter and change and adventure behind them, Cherry felt herself older and wiser. On a certain cer-tain sober September afternoon she presented herself at the door of Emma's Em-ma's cabin with nothing more than a little shyness in her manner. Emma lived in a lumber country. Cherry, for her drive of thirty miles, had borrowed the car, leaving the other girls with Lucie's grandmother. grand-mother. Emma had been lying on the couch, evidently napping; she welcomed wel-comed Cherry pleasantly enough, but without an embrace, and put the girl into a chair at the hearth while she started a fire and lighted one dim kerosene lamp. (TO BE CONTINUED) Kathleen Norrjs Says: After the Wartime Wedding Bell Syndicate. "When you $o out with other boys tomething that a wife isn't supposed to By KATHLEEN NORRIS WE'LL suppose that you've married your soldier or sailor or marine or flyer, and that he's gone away into service somewhere. some-where. Now, what's the next step for you? What should you do to carry on while he's away, and to help build a new and better world when he comes home? This question concerns more than a million women. Nearly two million war weddings have taken place in the last 18 months, and several hundred hun-dred thousand brides, having been caught into the breathless, breath-less, thrilling, emotional whirl of hurried marriage, are left today to -wonder just how it is all coming out. Some of them are already bewildered be-wildered and doubtful. It all seems Unreal; the sudden appearance of the uniformed lover, the quick vows and brief kisses, the parting perhaps per-haps for months, perhaps even for years. Mary catches her breath when it is all over, and looks at her new ring and writes her new name, and wonders Yes, she wonders. For she doesn't really feel married. When sympathetic sympa-thetic relatives and friends say flattering flat-tering things of Tom she agrees eagerly; he's a pretty swell person, per-son, she says shyly. But is he? Does she really know anything about him? Husband's Letters Surprise Wife. Sometimes she doesn't Sometimes Some-times his letters rather surprise her. Sometimes it surprises her and irks her when her mother gently suggests that she had better stop going about to dinners and dances with the old crowd. "But good heavens, Mother," says Mary, flushing resentfully, "Tom said he wanted me to have a good time!" "Yes, I know, darling. But your first thought has to be Tom, now. You see, Billy and Ben and Martin still like you very much, and they hardly know Tom, they may even resent his sweeping in here and carrying you off so suddenly. When you go out with other boys, and they send you flowers, you're doing something that a wife isn't supposed to do." "So all my fun is over!" Mary says bitterly. At 21 she doesn't feel that her whole interest can be turned to Red Cross work, dishwashing dish-washing at the canteen, knitting, good brisk walks, books and victory vic-tory gardening. She is still the girl she was when Tom burst Into her life a few months ago. And at this point if Mary goes idle and aimless, as so many young wives do, her marriage and perhaps per-haps the happiness of her whole lifetime are at stake. What she needs is work; useful and constructive construc-tive work; something to keep her busy all day, bring her home tired at night, and give her something worthwhile about which to write to Tom. Hundreds of young war-wives and anxious mothers write me about this problem. The other day a mother mailed me a printed list of the four questions that a certain New York clergyman, the Rev. Dr. Randolph Ray of New York, asks the couples that he marries. Do they really know each other, are they really in love, have they similar simi-lar backgrounds or interests, and when they are reunited after the war, do they realize that they may feel themselves complete strangers? strang-ers? More Than Leve Needed. But it seems to me these questions ques-tions are not the really important ones. Happy marriages have taken place and have lasted for a life- WNU Features. and they tend you flowert, you're doing do." WAR WIVES VRGED TO KEEP BUSY IV ork, constructive activity, study these are the answers to the millions of war brides whose husbands are away. The wise bride of today realizes that she must prepare for the time when her soldier returns. Long separations particularly particular-ly if the marriage was hurried must be counteracted by strong character, sympathy, and understanding. Wives who are running around with other men while their husbands are at war are not displaying the qualities which will lead them to a long, happy marriage. They should be working and building for the future. time, even when the answers to all these questions might be "No." That is, to all but "are you really in love?" However brief ,the illu-, sion the answer to this would always al-ways be "Yes." Being "in love" is indeed a brief illusion, and any marriage based wholly upon that is bound to bring disappointment There has to be more than the irresistible drawing together, the ecstatic physical need for one another that we call "being in love." And for the other three questions; well, we all know men and womsn who hadn't known each other well, who hadn't the same backgrounds or interests, who were perfectly aware that after a long separation they would seem strangers, and who yet have carried war marriages along from 1916 and 1917 to the proud days of godparenthood and the Silver Wedding. The essential to happy marriage, or happy living at all, lies in the word "character." Men and women wom-en of fine character will make a success of any marriage, or of any circumstances that follow marriage; mar-riage; weaklings won't. There is the situation in a nutshell. The wise war bride of today will begin now to build for the time when her soldier comes home. She will realize that in this long separation sep-aration she must hold him by her sweetness, her sympathy, her intelligent in-telligent interest in what interests him; her growth in self-forgetful-ness, service, faith and hope while he is away. She will work. In defense work or in one of the services; in hospitals, hos-pitals, canteens, Red Cross work rooms, machine shops, munition plants. She will write. Chatty, affectionate affection-ate letters; letters that show Tom the sort of woman she is. Letters that prove that she is not absorbed wholly in movies, good tims, clothes. Letters that reveal her own developing soul. Prepare for Future Together. She will study. It doesn't matter mat-ter what she studies, as long as she takes it seriously. If Tom was, or some day hopes to be, a chemist, a lawyer, an engineer, a photographer, photogra-pher, a dentist a teacher, her course is very clear. Let her enroll en-roll at the nearest college or busi-nes's busi-nes's school or night school for the elementary course in his particular particu-lar line. Then what she writes in ber letters will be in his own tongue. She will pall her weight at home. With dusting and dishwashing and answering the telephone and marketing, mar-keting, of course, and with the spiritual counterparts of these services serv-ices as well; cheerfulness, hopefulness, hopeful-ness, merriment, courage. For Tom may come home wavering waver-ing slightly in his allegiance, too. He may remember Mary but vaguely; she was awfully cute, and ber picture pic-ture was keen, of course, but gosh, he can't remember or else he never nev-er knew what she really was like, or thought, or believed La.
