Mr. and Mrs. Sallie being the Confessions of a new wife ... by Gladys Baker Illustrated by Paul Robinson Copyright 1925 by Publishers Autocaster Services Sallie Visits Lemoyne Unexpectedly From the day that Ellie told me that Curtiss no longer loved me or wanted me for his wife I moved about as a person in a dream and, in a dazed sort of fashion, I felt that I had lost my hold on the reality of life. A great many conditions, persons, and things shadowed my thoughts, putting themselves up as barriers against my promise— I opened the door and walked into the room.

Not the least of these persistent and disturbing influences was the thought of Lemoyne Danielle. In the still hours of the night I would awake with a start and find myself murmuring some word or phrase spoken by the young singer herself which had disclosed her great love for the man who had asked me to be his wife. I had not seen Lemoyne since her arrival in New York. Each time I had phoned she had said that she was busy with her managers, contracts, rehearsals and innumerable events which crowd, to the utmost, a singer's hours. Even following her first concert I was unable to see her because she had sent word that she was hurrying away to a party with some other friends. Although I had tried many times to make an engagement with her, she always managed an excuse which kept me away. Then suddenly it occurred to me that she did not want to see me. Not being sensitive, I had accepted her various excuses with an unsuspicious mind, though I might have remembered that in Paris she had seemed unusually fond of me and had treated me as if I were her dearest friend. Could she have known about Barry’s attention to me for the past few weeks? Had she found out how many times he and I had been alone? Perhaps she was eating her heart out in silent grief, or, on the other hand, with her temperamental nature, there was the bare possibility of her sulking in a jealous rage. Regardless of how she felt, I realized that I could not gain any serenity of spirit until I could have a chat with her find out for myself her attitude of mind. If I telephoned to her hotel, it would be the same old story, so impulsively I decided to go to her unannounced. The next morning I took a bus which traversed the distance between Ellie’s apartment and Lemoyne’s luxurious hotel. It was a sparkling day, sunshiny and cold. I sat; as I had never grown tired of doing, on top of the bus and gave myself up to the thrill of being in the brisk, invigorating out-of-doors. When I reached the hotel, I closely followed my plan. From the desk I seen her, the night of her concert, at which time she had been radiantly stuning in spite of the fact that she did not sing like she was especially happy or well. Now her eyes were swollen and her voice husky with recent tears. I took in the situation at a glance. She had been sorrowing over Barry and his picture which she had held in her hand.

I sat; as I had never grown tired of doing, on top of the bus and gave myself up to the thrill of being in the brisk, invigorating out-of-doors. When I reached the hotel, I closely followed my plan. From the desk I found out Lemoyne's room number and hurried away to a waiting elevator and soared up to one of the top-most floors. That if it was an unconventional thing I was doing I realized as I approached the formidable-looking door, but I knew that if I hesitated I would lose my nerve to go on, so I rapped cautiously at first and then decisively, determined to be hoard. I glanced at my wrist-watch. Ten o'clock. Perhaps Lemoyne was not up. It was certainly early for a call in New York. Then came a faint voice that I scarcely recognized as that of Lemoyne. "Come." I opened the door and walked into the room. Lemoyne, in negligence, reclined on a chaisel-longue facing a row of windows through which the brilliant sunshine poured, and in her hand was a large photograph of Barrington Pierce! "Oh! It's YOU!" she cried in sudden surprise, and I detected embarrassment and a certain trace of anger in her tone. I felt my face grow hot and reflection in the cheval mirror on the opposite door showed me that my cheeks were flaming red. Followed a stony silence in which the young singer arose from her position, replaced the picture on the dressing table with its face to the wall, and then her innate culture overcoming her resentment at my intrusion, she stretched forth her hand. Then she asked me to sit down and I hoped that the most uncomfortable part of the interview had come to a close. We discussed impersonal, frivolous affairs and I studied Lemoyne. I was amazed at the change which had taken place in her features since I had last seen her, the night of her concert, at which time she had been radiantly stunning in spite of the fact that she did not sing like she was especially happy or well. Now her eyes were swollen and her voice husky with recent tears. I took in the situation at a glance. She had been sorrowing over Barry and his picture which she had held in her hand. In spite of what he had said about her having ceased to care, I knew that he was wrong. Suddenly a line from a popular novel flashed through my mind: "You can never gain happiness for yourself by stepping on another woman's heart," and that is exactly what I had unwittingly attempted to do. I was genuinely fond of Lemoyne. She had been so unaffectedly sweet and lovely to Curtiss and me when we were in France. We had been unable to find accommodations in Paris, and she had graciously insisted that we remain as her guests, and had done everything possible to make our stay a delightful one. She had been unfailingly kind and as naturally frank as a child. How I wished that she would burden her hearts to me as she had done once before and that we could talk this question over as calmly and unemotionally as we had at that other time. By some trick of telepathy my affection for her must have made itself known, for she paused in the middle of a remark about the new plays and, flashing me a smile—which tried hard to be brave, she said: "I hear you're engaged to marry Barry. Please accept my congratulations and good wishes. May you two have all the happiness on earth!" She spoke automatically and, as the words fell from her lips in unnatural, silted phrases, I thought they sounded more like a telegram from a distant relative than a spontaneous and personal wish from a friend. "I would hardly say engaged." I replied, "you see I'm still married to Curtiss Wright." But divorce is such a simple matter these days that it will only be a question of a few months before you can be free to marry calm and deathless reassure her at the absolute. "I have not marn Barry thought pledged dollars moreness, which shows on the 1925 show sible to release profit has been rement now held here there was no way." But you promise so," her eyes was no trace of though I had tried my own, "it wowed if you failed him. What a strange of him she was one thing that was in her own life bravery! What gallant pride! If you were promise to him, and if you did not you, did you learn you, I suppose, being bored!" T in her voice, on casm, which went (Continued in Buena Park Notes (By MRS. J. P. ROBISON) A bad accident occurred Monday for noon on Whitaker avenue, about one-half mile from Buena Park, in which one woman, Mrs. J. W. Blee of Santa Ana, lost her life and her sister-in-law, Mrs. W. C. Blee, was perhaps fatally injured. The other members of the party, J. W. Blee, Mrs. Belle Rote, Mrs. M. R. Moody and daughter, Mary Eleanor, were all cut and bruised. The accident occurred when Mr. Blee tried to pass a truck and got off the pavement, his car turning turtle. All the injured are at the Community hospital at Fullerton. The old Sanitarium building is being cleaned up, and will be used as furnished apartments. Mrs. W. H. Kidd of Anaheim is manager. B. A. Calloway and family and Mrs. W. A. Calloway left Saturday for their new home at Oakland, where Mr. Calloway has the contract to build 12 houses. Mrs. Perry Miller is enjoying a visit from her sister, Mrs. J. P. Baldwin of Lyons, Kansas, who will spend several months here. Another guest at the Miller home is Gerald Bradford of Hutchinson, Texas. W. T. Sheets, son-in-law, and Fred Brown, nephew of C. A. Brown of Homewood, arrived Friday to visit at the Brown home. Mrs. E. L. Cole and son, George Cole, and family visited her daughter, Mrs. McAimond of Los Angeles Sunday. Miss Hester Jaynes of Los Angeles was the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. I. D. Jaynes Sunday. In the afternoon they all visited her brother, Harold Jaynes of Santa Ana. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Knott and children attended the fair Saturday. At the Chamber of Commerce meeting Friday night, the need of a new school building was discussed, also the advisability of widening Whitaker avenue. Mrs. Hattle Allen gave a report of her trip to the Atlantic coast. Mrs. L. J. Robeson attended the Pennsylvania picnic at Sycamore Grove Saturday. The Parent-Teacher Association will meet Tuesday at the school house. Assessed Value of California’s Autos Orange Stands Fourth in State in Value of Cars An increase of more than $11,000,000 in the assessed valuation of California automobiles, exclusive of tax-exempt cars, is shown in a report issued by the state board of equalization. As compared with last year, when 924,504 automobiles were assessed at $209,063,712, the assessed valuation of 1,061,272 cars this year was $220,210,286. Los Angeles county, with 421,017 cars, assessed at $91,983,215, leads the state in assessable automobile wealth. Alameda is second in the number of cars with 95,000, but the assessed value of these, $19,000,000, runs behind the $20,975,410 at which San Francisco county assessed its 72,325 cars. The value of the average automobile shows a decided fluctuation among the various counties. In Monterey county, for instance, 10,035 cars have an assessed value of $1,505,250; but in Napa county, 6600 cars were assessed at $1,650,000. While Orange county stands sixth among the counties in the state in the number of cars on file assessment roll it takes fourth place in the valuation. This county has 29,000 cars, and is surpassed in this list only by Los Angeles, Alameda, San Francisco, Fresno and San Diego. The assessed valuation of these cars is $14,500,000, and in this respect it follows after Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego. According to statisticians, Americans owe more than $25,000,000,000 as individuals which makes it small wonder your friend sometimes forgets that five you slipped to him.

The fair has now been incorporated and when it undertook the recent success, the corporation purchased the equipment of the old association at inventory prices. The equipment of the 1925 association inventoried at a few hundred dollars more than the indebtedness, which shows an ultimate profit on the 1925 show and makes it possible to release the guarantors. The profit has been reinvested in the equipment now held by the corporation, as there was no way in which the profit could redound to a greater benefit to the people. In thanking the guarantors for their co-operation, Mr. Stanley said, in part: "Your co-operation has made it possible to hold these assets for the use of future fairs, and the results so far have been very gratifying. Thus you have had an important and integral part in producing the last big successful event, and the satisfaction of that success belongs largely to you and your co-operation. We thank you and sincerely hope that you will extend the same hearty support to our successor, the Orange County Community Fair, Inc."

There was calm and deathly resignation in her voice, such indeed that I hastened to reassure her at the cost of not adhering to the absolute truth. "I have not made any definite plans. Barry thought perhaps I could—" I hesitated to choose the right words, for I did not want her to think that I had Barry's love, "that I could help him in his work," I hurried on, "Why, I do not understand. But so far, all I have actually decided to do is to obtain a divorce. Curtiss and I have been separated, without one, long enough." "Yes, I know," she nodded her shapely head, "and you will marry Barry as soon as that is secured?" It was easy to see that she breathlessly awaited my reply. "Quen sabe," I smiled, "what I shall do," I attempted to alleviate the strain which was momentarily becoming intense, "that is such a long time off and—" "But you promised Barry. He told me so," her eyes narrowed and there was no trace of laughter in her voice, though I had tried to put flippancy in my own. "It would go hard with him if you failed him now." What a strange situation! For love of him she was urging me to do the one thing that would bring desolation in her own life forever more. What bravery! What sportsmanship! What gallant pride! If you were not serious in your promise to him, why did you make it and, if you did not love him why, I ask you, did you lead him on? To amuse you, I suppose, or to keep you from being bored!" There was no sympathy in her voice, only contempt and sarcasm, which were glaringly unmasked.
