BURNiNG/tBEAUTY ||||W ’ ■ vih tlhs CHAPTER 36 WHEN VIRGINIA reached the old house, there was no one to greet her. The little Scotch dog and the primrose cat had been left in care of the Barlows. The day was dull and no sun shone through the honey colored curtains. The taxi driver had set her bags down in the middle of the floor. The big room was chiliy. the fireplace black. And she had come away from a house that was all glow and color and laughter—for what ? Because two men had wanted to marry her! No —no —that wasn’t the reason. She had come because of Rickey. She had wanted to hide her head. It was better to be here —alone, than there with things that made her ,shudder and shiver . . . ! She wanted to cry, but she wouldn’t. What good would it do to weep an i wail? The way to get things out of Nfe was to march with one’s head ap. Os course that wasn’t modern philosophy. One did not, according: to that, march. One stumbled along, and finally fell by the wayside. ! Well, she wouldn’t, she wouldn’t, she wouldn’t! She found herself making a tune of it as she went about building a fire, lighting her !lamps against the dulness, and final ly running dowm to ask the landlady if there were any letters. There were, Mrs. Leonardl empha sized, not only letters but boxes and bundles. She brought them otit, more than she could carry. “Tom maso shall take them up for you. We did not know you would be here. We are having a Christmas—l am cooking the dinner.” i It was very evident from the pungent odors that the dinner was cooking. Virginia had eaten nothing but fruit and coffee since the day before, and the fragrances were tempting. She had not thought of her own Christmas dinner —she had fhought of nothing except to get away from Derekdale. Mrs. Leonardi going up the stairs asked hospitably, “And you? Will you come and have some Christmas with us? We are very plain. But there is plenty.” Virginia, knowing that about her landlady’s board would be all the cousins and the aunts and the uncles and the grandfathers of the Leo nardis, declined the invitation. It s dear of you to ask me but I have other plans.” , _ She was not sure what those plans might be, but they were slowly crystallizing. Among the boxes was a big one from her father and mother. It was filled with tropical fruits and cans and bottles and boxes of dates and olives and figs and apricots fend prunes stuffed with nuts, and strange delicious candies. ••For my darlings.” was on the card in her mother’s fine script. Well, she would make her Christ mas! She would set her tables and CONTRACT BRIDGE WRITTEN FOR CENTRAL PRESS By E. V. SHEPARD FAMOUS BRIDGE TEACHER A SMALL SLAM BY PERFECT PLAY AS SHOWN yesterday, East and West overbid when they ventured a small slam on the hands given below. While East was a good player he fell short of being an expert, although he probably considered himself as good a player as any he knew. ♦ * V 10 9 7 5 ♦KJIO fi -5' 4.

East had at one point shown no losing hearts, by bidding opponents’ suit, whereupon West bid the small slam. Had any thing except a club been led the small slam could have been made by any fair player, but the opening lead of the middle club at once forced dummy to win with the K. Dummy’s fifth diamond was made good, upon which to discard Ihe declarer's losing club, but the last entry had vanished from the ex nosed hand, so ’.hat the “She’ll make him unhappy.” light her candles and have a feast, and she would forget Derekdale and the great banqueting hall—and the women all shine and glitter, and the men holding their glasses high—! She looked at the clock. It was just noon. She had left Derekdale at nine. It did not seem possible that so much could have happened in three hours. Yet how long the hours seemed since she had seen Michael. . . . She found herself running up the stairs. W’hen she reached the top floor she knocked at Mrs. Barlow’s door. When the little woman opened jt, she gave a cry of delight, “Miss Oliphant . . . ! Roger, it is Miss Virginia!” There was a whirlwind of welcome —the child in her arms, the little dog wild with excitement, the little cat waving an ecstatic plume of a tall. “What made you come back, what made you come back?” little Roger was demanding. “To ask you all to Christmas din ner.” “But we’re having one—” “Now?” “In a minute. It’s cooking. Isn’t it. mother?” “Yes. Perhaps Miss Virginia will share it.” “I will, if you’ll come to my party tonight?” “Oh—are you going to have a party?” “Yes, for you and for me and for your mother, and Weenie and Prim, and Miss Mary Lee Logan, if we can get her.” Mrs. Barlow said, with flushed cheeks, “Our dinner Is very simple, Miss Oliphant.” “Jt’s a lovely dinner,” Roger’s voice was eager, “you told me so yourself, mother.” She smiled at him. "It’s lovely be cause we make it so. You see. Miss Oliphant. there isn’t a turkey, be cause it takes such a big family to eat a turkey, and it isn’t a chicken because a chicken is so extravagant for two. But it’s a wonderful bird all made of bCef and its. got stuffing and skewers for drumsticks, and we are going to stick cranberries on them —and every time we open the oven—” Roger took up the tale, “Every time we open the oven we baste it with butter, and I do it myself. Miss Virginia. You let me show you— and you’ll see it. . . It was delightful to watch them playing the game, the little mother and her child, making a feast out of simple food. ... “There’s plenty for everybody,” Roger was saying, “for Prim and Weenie and you—” The two women talked alone for a moment before the meal was served. “I came back unexpectedly,” Virginia said, “and I thought it would be fun to have' a’ party—at supper time. I’ll have a tree —” ■*T had trimmed a tiny one ft?r the child,” Mrs. Barlow said, “it was to declaring side lost one diamond and one club trick. After the 8 of clubs has been led, removing the K from dummy, play the hand for a small slam, as fol lows: Lead a heart from dummy; win with the lone Ace; lead a low trump; win with the 9 or K. accord ing to whether South puts up the 8 or Q; such a play is a desperate one, but diamonds probably are di vided 4-2, and you are taking the only probable way to make the small slam. « Lead a diamond. Win with de clarer’s Aee. Give South his Q ol diamonds. He will lead another club, removing the Ace from dummy. Lead back a diamond. Trump with declarer’s Ace. Lead a trump. Win with dummy’s top trump, picking up the last trump held by South. Lead dummy’s fourth diamond. Trump. Lead back the 2 of spades, saved for that purpose. Dummy's 5 will win the trick. Lead dummy’s long dia mond. Upon it discard declarer’s last club Spread the declaring hand for the fulfilled contract, as East has no losers left and he has lost only a single trick. I believe that In the long run we will be better off if we never bid slams that are not almost certain ties. This applies with double force to average players. Any expert will detect the proper method of fulfilling a small slam contract on the above hand, but that does not alter the fact ihat neither bidder should have ven tured so high a contract. be a surprise. But yours will be better.” “We’ll have both of them.” So they ate their dinner and had the little tree, and the presents which Virginia and Rickey had left with Mrs. Barlow for herself and the child. And after dinner Roger and Virginia opened the window and fed the pigeons on the roof. “T have tc do it every day now.” the child told her, “since the people moved out next door.” “Do you mean.” Virginia asked him, “that they’ve given up theii rooms?” “Yes, haven’t they, mother?” Mrs. Barlow who was clearing the table said. “They moved two days ago.” “Has Mrs. Leonard! the key?” “Yes.” Nothing more was said about it, but in the back of Virginia’s mind as she went downstairs to prepare for the party was the thought of those upper rooms. A place for a bed in one and a desk in the other! And with Rickey away, why not? She called up Mary Lee and found her at home. “I’ll be over at once.” was the rapturous response to the invitation. “I’m bored to death. And where’s Rickey?” “I left him at Derekdale.” “Making love to Marty Van Duyne? Has something happened? And why are you back so soon?” “I’ll tell you later,” Virginia hvmg up the receiver, and pending Mhry Lee’s arrival, sallied forth to the delicatessen at the corner. It was open and furnished all the food she would need for a real collation. She bought salad and sliced breasts of turkey, a frosted cake. There would be hot chocolate and hot biscuits— she would like to make biscuits. She wanted to be busy—busy—l She also found a fat fir tree and some glitter ing things to put on it. She won dered if she were being extravagant. Well, if so, she w r ould pay the piper. When she got back she met Mary Lee on the doorstep, and the two w'ent in with their parcels together. Mary Lee was pale and there were dark circles under her eyes. "Oh. Jinny, Jinny,” she said, “if you could know how I’ve wanted you.” Virginia’s arms went about her. She kne\v that Mary Lee wanted Rickey, as she» herself wanted— Michael. They busied themselves for. a tjjne with their holiday preparations, ’then as the afternoon waned, sat down by the fire to rest. “Tell me alt about it. Jinny,” Mary Lee said, "tell me about—Rickey—” ; “He’s going on a yachting trip— to Florida—” Mary Lee’s voice had a note of fear in it. “Whose yacht 7’ J'• “The Van Duynes’.” Mary Lee flung up her hands. “I knew it.” she cried with a touch'.of wildness, “and shall make him 'un happy.** - jr\ em ** mmacawm Marian Martin Pattern MISS GARLICK TO CHICAGO MEETING Miss Edna Garlick, of this city, but member of the faculty of the Greens boro city schools for several years, is leaving today for Chicago to attend the 71st annual convention of the Na tional Education Association.
