Garfield Smelting Company By MEREDITH NICHOLSON ', Ctoftjriickl LADY LARKSPUR Lady Larkspur is a delightful little whimsey of a story by Meredith Nicholson, author of The House of a Thousand Candles and other charming romances that nearly everybody has read. Its short and sweet and full of the fanciful charm which has made Nicholson deservedly popu- lar. Bob Singleton is the hero. Hes an aviator invalided home. His Uncle Bashford has married an Englishwoman in Japan in his old age, died and left a widow whom Bob has never seen. Said widow, present whereabouts unknown, Is mystery No. 1. Mystery No. 2 is Violet Dewing, an entirely charming English actress, also missing from public view. Bobs friend Searles has written a play, Lady Larkspur, especially for her and naturally is combing the universe to find her. Bob goes to the Bashford farm at Barton in New England to recuperate.
