LOVELY LITTLE FOOL
A Story of Washington’s Social Set.
By PHYLLIS MOORE GALLAGHER.
WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE
Bet'jy Seymour, a beautiful young Gov
ernment clerk, madly in love with Mar
shall Van Dev an ter. had been his guest
at a yachting party on the beautiful
Potomac. This was a gala affair for the
rich and near-rich, the social elite ana
aocial climbers. Betsy suffers her first
Kol lear and fealousy because ot
tail’s open attentions to Libby otOCK
ton. spoiled daughter of an old and
Wealthy Washington family. She meets
Raoul de Prudentio, attache at the em
bassy of a Latin-American country, who
Is Immediately attracted by her beauty.
She also meets John Storm a Boston
youth in the Capital studying law. and
who is to play an Important part in
her life from that moment. The next
day Betsy is surprised when John appears
a? the door of her home. It develops
that he has rented a room there, not
knowing that It was her home.
CHAPTER II.
JOHN’S coat was tan camel’s hair
and the collar was turned up
snug around his bronzed throat.
He was smiling, an awkward,
shy smile, and as he took off his hat
a lock of yellow hair fell over his
forehead.
Betsy stood looking at him for a
moment. Last night on the Kings
ton yacht she hadn’t really noticed
John. Her stricken eyes had been
too full of a petunia satin . . . shadows
leaning together up at the bow of
the boat. Now she saw that his eyes
were very gray and friendly; and she
had a strange, irrelevant feeling that
he would never say cruel, harsh words.
She liked his mouth.
‘Tm Jonn storm, ne saia. iou
don’t remember me, do you?”
"Oh, indeed I do!” she said quick
ly, color flooding her cheeks. “I'm
just too . . . too surprised to speak!”
And then. “You’re not by any remote
chance our new roomer, are you?”
She was looking at the big suitcases
on the top step.
"Third floor front,” he said, grin
ning. "To quote a banal and thread
bare precept. ‘The world is certainly
one small place!’”
He brought in the twc suitcases
... big walrus bags plastered with
gay little foreign stickers . . . and lum
bered up the steps with them. Betsy
watched him until he disappeared
around the stairhead. Then she stood
as if transfixed, listening to his tread
on the second flight. At last she took
a soft breath and turned to her
mother, who had come out into the
hall from the dining room.
"Mother!"—softly, so John Storm
couldn’t hear. “I met him last night
on the cruise! Isn’t that funny?
He told me my voice svas like silver
bells!”
As Betsy bathed and dressed for
Jennie Travers’ dinner party she
could hear John moving about in his
room above hers. She was going to
like him up there, she thought. The
movement of his feet on the bare
floor was friendly ... as friendly as
his gray eyes and his awkward, rather
shy. smile. John's arrival had made
her forget some of ner troubles, yet
when she lifted the white taffeta
dress from the closet and took it off
the wire hanger she paied visibly.
She'd never like that dress again.
It brought back too poignantly the
thing that hurt her most . . . the
bright swirl of a petunia satin . . .
Marshall and Libby. She put the
dress on because she had nothing
else she could wear 10 a formal din
ner: but she didn't pirouette before
the mirror in it. She kept saying over
and over, avoiding ner reflection: “I
shouldn’t blame the dress! It is a
nice dress!” And she tried hard
to like it because mother’s stitches
were on the halter neck and mother's
tired hands had carefully pressed the
billowing skirt.
Later, wnen sne neara .terry open
the front door and Marshall's voice
saying, "Hello, Terry! How’re you,
Mrs. Seymour?” she floated like a
soft breeze down the cteaking old
stairs.
"Lovely, lovely!” Marshall said, as
if he had never before seen the white
taffeta. His voice seemed very big,
yet soft and tender. Perhaps that
was because she stood so close to
him. Oh, everything was all right,
after all! Marshall hadn't changed!
The realization of inis made relief
and happiness sparkle in her eyes,
dance on the high lights of her golden
hair, dimple the corners o; her mouth.
Even Terry, scowling at the front
door, obviously disliking Marshall and
being rude enough to show it, didn’t
rob her of this recaptured ecstasy.
Betsy flung a wiso ol a velvet
Jacket over her shoulder, blew her
family a good-night kiss . . . lingering
a little on her father's kiss . . . and
took Marshall’s arm. They hurried
down the three white steps and across
the ancient brick walk to the car.
Libby Stockton, wrapped cozily in
her white ermine evening cape, turned
languidly on the front seat to greet
them. Betsy didn’t see her at first.
She didn’t actually Delieve that Libby
was there; not until Marshall opened
the rear door and helped her into the
lonely back seat and Libby said, in
her husky, cultivated drawl, “Hello,
there, Betsy, darling.” Then Marshall
went around and slid under the steer
ing wheel next to Libby . . . next to
Libby! And in Betsy'c heart, some
how cold and lost in a dark, deep
place where tears seemed to be falling,
a part of her youth died.
Jennie’s house was ready for the
party; flowers filled the amber glass
cornucopias, the Limoges vases, the
crystal bowls, the old silver cham
pagne buckets on the hearth. The
gentle scrape of vioun strings and
the tinkle of steel guitars edged the
laughter of young voices. There was
a pleasant bustle; coiored waiters in
the. dining room, a butler serving
cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in the
drawing room . . . serving Raoul de
Prudentio, Lee Travers—Jennie's red
headed brothers who looked for all
the world like her!—sleek Navy offi
cers and legatibn attaches Girls In
satins and lames and chiffons whose
faces smiled daily from society pages
and rotogravures sprinkled the mauve
room like Spring flowers. *
As Betsy came through the door,
following in Libby's wagp, she saw all
this panoply of color through a trou
bled blur. Jennie, swinging a little
fish-tail train of gold lame behind
her. greeted them. Her red hair
flamed under the chandelier prisms,
her gray eyes were cordial.
"Cheerio! Cheerio!”
Betsy's white taffeta skirt rustled
Betsy found herself uneasy and em
barrassed.
"Well, If I were you, ’ said Jennie,
looking straight into his eyes, ‘‘I would
control myself. You might put Betsy
in the wrong light.”
Raoul’s face darkened, but he said,
lightly: “Please, Jennie! Spare me.
I’ve been told the tip of your tongue
is as sharp as a dagger point. To
night is the first time 1 have been
pricked by it!”
“Pricked?” repeated Jennie. “I am
slipping!"
Dinner was announced, and they
all filed into the long dining room,
where the soft flames of the can
delabra pulsed over the white dam
ask, the glittering silver and crystal
goblets, the gardenias clustered on
flat mirrors.
Betsy waited one breathless second
for Marshall to come to her, but there
was Libby on his arm again, and
there was Raoul bowing before her
and tucking her fingers through his
arm. How could Marshall treat her
this way? How could she walk into
that dining room, conversing with an
air of sprightliness, just as if her
breathing wasn’t as difficult as inhal
ing threads of wool? Oh, it was hard
enough to be in this strange house
in the midst of all these frigidly
courteous girls without Marshall treat
ing her cruelly I
I i
"Darling, save me from this woman! Don't stand off. flirting with
Raoul. I tell you, Libby's a leach!’*
like Autumn leaves in a light wind
as she hurried up the stairs to Jen- j
nie's room. She did tilings to her 1
hair, her nose, looked long at her
wretched little face. Oh, how could
Marshall have done this to her? Made
her ride alone while he laughed and
talked with Libby and looked not;
once toward the rear seat . . . not
even in the rear-vision mirror. What J
was happening to them9
When she came back down the
winding stairs Raoul was waiting at
the foot for her.
“I thought you'd never come. Bet
sy," he said and kissed her finger tips.
I “I've worn out the tue of my shoe
tapping it with impatience."
Betsy saw the other girls watching :
her now. Saw them raise their brows
discreetly and exchange wry glances
... unpleasant glances. Raoul was
a man of the world, as handsome as
a god. He belonged to their set and
yet he had left them all to talk with
| a girl who didn't belong, a girl who
was being thrust upon them by Mar
shall Van Devanter. Oh, she could
see what they thought' But It didn't
matter! Nothing mattered, for there
was Marshall leaning against the old
rosewood secretary in the drawing
room, clicking fragile cocktail glasses
with Libby, toasting her with his eyes,
if not his lips. And there was Libby
| in ice blue satin trimmed with mink. ,
j looking up at him from beneath her j
long dark lashes.
Jennie came over to Betsy and
slipped an affectionate arm around
her slim waist. "I’m sc glad you
could come, Betsy,” she said, her
eyes gentle. "You met every one on
the yacht last night, didn’t you?”
Betsy said, shyly: "1 think so . . .
just about every one, anyway.”
Jennie perched her head a little
to one side. "We're going to be
! friends. Betsy Seymour. Do you feel
that, too?”
Betsy did feel it. She had felt it
I last night on the cruise when Jennie
' had smiled at her . . . her head a
! bright friendly flash in that cold, in
different gathering.
Betsy was to learn later that Jennie
Travers was famous for her brusqueri.
Now, when she turned to Raoul and
said sharply, “I thought you Spanish
cavaliers reserved your hand kissing
| for married ladies, Raoul! How is it
j I find you kissing Betsy’s hand?” and
Raoul answered, evenly, “Sometimes
I it is a tribute to beauty, Jennie,”
Marshall’s place card was next to
Betsy's. He was standing there smil
ing when she came around to her
chair. He bent over to her. whispered
softly, his eyes whimsically tender.
“Darling, save me from this woman!
Don’t stand off flirting with Raoul!
I tell you Libby’s a leech!”
He drew out her chair and his
fingers swept lightly across her bare
shoulders. The brief contact made
Betsy’s heart beat intolerably. Just
that touch, just his voice, which
seemed to pour over her. vibrating
through her very bones, had changed
everything. Sweetness flowed back
into her and her eyes became washed
with a misty hope.
“And how does a gi-1 go about
saving a young man Irom a leech?”
she asked, tremulously “Shall I offer
to split a can of leech exterminator
with her? Or maybe you'd resent
that!”
He was sitting next to her now,
his brown-lashed eyes looking into
hers, his lips smiling over white teeth.
“Say-y, don’t tell me you've been
thinking that Libby and I-”
His voice gave her that divinely,
horrible sinking feeling.
“Oh, no—no!” she said quickly.
She had been a fool, of course. A
blind, stupid, silly little tool. Couldn’t
Marshall look at another girl with
out her thinking wild, crazy things?
Was she going to oe like this all
her life, suspicious, afraid, making
Marshall unhappy, making herself
miserable?
They talked a lot. and in between
the courses Marshall found her hand
and held It in his. The party that
had given every promise of being un
bearable now became the most glo
rious function she had ever attended.
They talked of the office of Terry’s
National Guard meetings, of all the
little events that were precious be
cause they shared them with each
other; and every once in a while
Marshall said one of those things that
made her dizzy with Happiness, un
able to answer him.
Through this beautiful, enchanted
haze Betsy saw Raoul dark and silent,
ignoring his dinner partners, dream
ing over the gardenias at her, and at
the head of the table Jennie, turning
slightly in her chair, nodding to some
one in the drawing room.
Betsy looked beyond Jennie’s flam
ing head and her expression changed
completely.

Bedtime Stories
Jimmy Has a Feast.
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.
If I may gain from what you lose
Should I a splendid chance refuse?
—Jimmy Skunk.
IN COMMON with all the other little
people of the Green Forest and
the Green Meadow, Jimmy Skunk
believes that all should take ad
vantage of any opportunity that is of
fered. You see, among all these little
people the first law of life is the law
of self-preservation. They know that
If they do not look out for themselves
no one else will look out for them.
Jimmy Skunk, like Unc’ Billy Pos
sum. has a liking for eggs. He is very
fond of them. In the late Spring and
early Summer Jimmy spends more or
less time looking for the nests of those
feathered folk who build their nests
on the ground. When he finds one
with eggs in it he always smacks his
lips. He has no thought for the right
ful owner of those eggs. We should
not blame him for that, however, for
we have no thought for the feelings of
the hens whose eggs we take.
I have heard Jimmy blamed for tak
ing the eggs of Mrs. Bob White and of
Mrs. Grouse. Those who blame him
for this usually are hunters who are
themselves put out because they feel
that there will be just so many fewer
birds to grow up for them to kill. As
a matter of fact, if Jimmy does destroy
a nestful of eggs it doesn't necessarily
mean that the rightful owner of those
eggs will not raise a family that year.
She is very likely to make another
nest—better hidden, if possible—and
try again.
For such possible harm as Jimmy
does in this way he makes up in some
degree by the destruction of eggs of
another character. He is very fond of
Turtle eggs, and nothing delights him
more than the discovery of the eggs of
Mrs. Snapper the Turtle. Now. Snap
ping Turtles are very destructive to
other folk who live in the ponds where
they are. They kill many Fish. They
kill many little Ducks. In fact, big
Snapping Turtles are very fond of
little Ducks. How do they catch them?
Lying on the bottom of the pond and
buried in the mud, they look up and
watch the surface. When baby Ducks
come swimming along the hungry
Turtle just comes up beneath them
unseen and seizes one of them. So
you see, Jimmy Skunk’s appetite for
Turtle eggs helps to save Fish and
baby Ducks by keeping down the num
ber of Snapping Turtles.
Jimmy was poking about not far
from the Smiling Pool. He was look
ing for fat beetles. Sammy Jay came
along.
"Hello. Jimmy,” said he. "Who do
you suppose I saw a few moments
ago?"
"Who?” asked Jimmy.
"Mrs. Snapper the Turtle,” replied
Sammy.
Jimmy looked up quickly. "Where
did you see Mrs. Snapper?” he de
manded.
"Over by the Smiling Fool,” replied
Sammy.
"Oh!” exclaimed Jimmy in a tone
of disappointment.
"She wasn't in the Smiling Pool.
She was coming down to it, and she
looked as if she had come quite a little
distance,” continued Sammy.
Jimmy Skunk's face brightened at
once. "I wonder where she came
from,” said he. “Thank you for the
hint, Sammy Jay.”
"What hint?” Sammy asked.
But Jimmy made no reply. He was
already heading for the Smiling Pool
and moving at a rate that, for him,
was fast. When he reached the bank
of the Smiling Pool he began to look
about carefully. Presently he found
the place where Mrs. Snapper had
gone out into the water. He could see
by the way the grass was pressed down
where she had come from. He fol
lowed this trail back for a considerable
distance. Presently it ended. Then
Jimmy began a most careful search.
He found the place he was look
ing for and his little black paws
fairly flew as he dug. Out rolled
a white egg. Jimmy ate it and
THE HUNGRY TURTLE COMES UP
BENEATH THEM UNSEEN AND
SEIZES ONE OF THEM.
smacked his lips. Twenty of those
round white eggs he dug out and ate.
They were the eggs ol Mrs. Snapper.
Such a feast as Jimmy had!

Measled Cowry (Cypraca Exanthema).
BY’ LILLIAN COX ATHEY.
Shake one. and it awakens then apply
Its polished lip to your attentive ear.
And it remembers its august abode
And murmurs as the ocean murmurs there.
—Water Savage Landor.
RE you an ardent conchologist?
Then, of course, you will be
eager to add the richly colored
cowry shells to your collection.
There are 189 living species and 97
fossil species. Three cowries live on
the Florida coast and one in Southern
California. Those found in tropical
countries are as colorful as the gor
geous flowers and birds found there.
Yet the mast beautiful shells we
find are never so brilliantly colored
as the creatures that live in the shell.
When the animal decides to take a
stroll the mantle folds of tufted,
brightly colored and branched, coral
like, outgrowths and the many dots
of contrasting hues make the cowry
a very beautiful sight, indeed.
His shell is engulfed, and under
neath the stout, richly tinted foot
carries the cowry along his way with
dignity and ease. It is wonderful to
see this animated bit of color moving
so gracefully over the rocks and below
the level of the lowest tide.
Such a fearless exhibition of its un
armed self seems brave, or shall me
call it simply foolhardy? Most ani
mals seek to camouflage themselves
rather than attract attention.
When you have an opportunity to
view these gloriously colored creatures
through the glass bottom of a boat
you will see the cowries at their best;
for instance, the corals and riot of
color to be found in Bermuda. Santa
Catalina and Florida sea beaches. Here
protective coloring is exhibited.

Who Are You?
The Romance of Your Name.
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.
Jiubbard
'T'HIS name is derived from “Hubba,"
A a Norse sea king, who. in the
Fall of 866, with a brother (or other
kinsman), Hingua, and 21,000 war
riors from the North country, landed
on the coast of East Anglia (Eng
land).
The coat of arms here reproduced
is one of the several armorial bear
ings used by various Hubbard families.
It is accredited to George Hubbard, a
New England settler, who came to
this country In 1639 and founded his
family In Middletown, Conn. He was
born in 1601 in the eastern or south
eastern part of England. George
Hubbard was granted six acres of
land in his new home "by courtesy
of the town,” and is referred to as a
mem of “marked ability and fairness.”
Early land grants reveal that there
were several families bearing the name
Hubbard in the Virginia colony, whose
descendants may be found today in
many parts of the Southland and
even in the Middle and Far West.
Robert Hubbard was granted 1,600
acres of land in Westmoreland Coun
ty in 1654, Matthew Hubbard re
ceived a grant of 590 acres of York
County land and Henry Hubbard was
granted 350 acres in Gloucester Coun
ty. Joseph Hubbard, who is thought
to have come to Philadelphia with
William Penn’s colony, removed to
North Carolina.

I cowry shells are used for personal
adornment. Even stem jackets are
I closely covered with overlapping rows
of tiny cowry shells. In India we
.see the harness of the elephants and
horses richly trimmed with cowry
bands, and few natives are satisfied
to be without several strings of them.
Among civilized people the small,
. blue-back cowry is made into brace
lets, sleeve buttons, small charms and
other articles.
The shape, color, size and pattern
of the me* sled cowry, in a way,
gives some indication of the cowry’s
age. The young mollusk has a very
| thin, bulla-shaped shell, with a wide
; aperture and noticeable spire. The
; surface is banded with lovely, flame
1 like lines of brown.
As the cowry grows older, the lip
thickens on the side next to the
mouth, while the sides and back take
on layers from the mantle edge,
which covers the coils of the spire
entirely. The lip and columella grow
closer together and are toothed.
This cowry is said to be “broken
out" with small white spots on a
dark brown background. A wavy line
of bluish white, over the back, is
a contrast to the mottled brown areas
which are almost concealed by the
three wide bands of bluish-brown
under-color. The teeth are a very
dark brown.
When you find one of these lovely
cowries, about three or four inches
long, you can be sure it is an adult.
Look for them in the mangrove
swamps, in the intricate root system
that is exposed at low tide. You
will have many beauties to make your
selection from at this time. There
are many of these spots in Florida
to look for your prize shell.
