I Mr,s. E. C Bri^e was hostess
to the Pa time Bridge Club at
her home on East First S.reet
Thursday afternoon.
National colors were employed
in the artistically arranged bou-
quets of flowers, observing the
approach of Washington’s birth-
day, and were effectively car-
ried out in the refreshment plate
served by the hostess at the con-
clusion. of the games for the af-
ternoon. Favors were miniature
hatchets.
Those attending were: Mmes
Sam Austin, Jack Cross. Seb
Caldwell G. G. Crawford. T. S
Grissom, A. C. Hoffmann, Ned
Martin, Mae Masters, A. H. O’Ty-
son, W. M. Tabb, Max Fore and
C. M. Green.
The club will meet next Thurs-
day with Mrs. Seb Caldwell as
hostess.
THE STORY THUS EAR:
Ellen Murray meets her author-
mother’s ueek-end guest, Mr.
Jaywood, at the station. On the
•way home, they meet Douglas
Hall, Ellen’s boy friend with
whom she has quarrelled. She
leaves him outside while she takes
the guest in to meet the family—
Lewis, her father; Granny, who
lets Mr. Jaywood know she sus-
pects him of having had an affair
with her daughter Ann—now
Mrs. Murray—many years ago;
and Lonnie, a divorcee looking
for a new husband. Ann arrives
to take charge of her guest, and
Ellen goes out to find Doug, who
tells her he is leaving Monday
for Belgium to make some money
so he can marry her. They decide
to go away for the week-end to-
gether, letting her family think
she has gone to visit a girl friend.
Ann finds out, however, but is
unable to stop her daughter, be-
cause she has always preached
women’s rights. When Lewis
learns about it he starts after
them, with Ann, Connie and Jay
in hot pursuit. Granny calls the
police and has the four of them
pyt in jail. Meanwhile, at the
little lakeside cabin, Ellen and
Doug decide it will be more so-
phisticated if they sleep apart.

“I was disappointed to find you
away,” Doug answered politely.
At that point Lewis exploded.
"How on earth can an apparently
decent young man like you stand
there and look me in the eye—”
"In short, my dear Doug, he
knows,” Jay put in, while Lewis
spluttered helplessly.
Doug was more puzzled than
scared. “Did Ellen tell you, Mr.
Murray?”
“I’ve known for some time,”
Lewis told him.
"But Ellen assured me—why,
we all had tea together here—
nobody knew then,” Doug in-
sisted.
“A few of us were in on it,”
Jay informed him wryly.
The Boston blood that ran in
Doug’s veins came to a boiling
point. He whirled on them all,
denouncing them roundly. "You
all knew—and you didn’t do a
thing to stop her. What kind of
a family is this, anyway? And
you—her own mother—” he
shouted at Ann who had just
come into the room, “You sat
there and served tea and talked
nonsense, knowing all the time
that your d_aughtjjr—”
For the first time that morn-
ing Lewis looked really pleased.
"You, Mrs. Murray,” he whisp-
ered to her triumphantly.
"What kind of woman are
you?” Doug went on furiously,
“Where are your motherly in-
stincts?”
“Under control, Mr. Hall,”
Ann informed him briskly.
Granny came in to inform him
that Ellen was dressing and
would be down in a few minutes.

“If you don’t like this fam-

Doug picked up his hat. “Well,

Lewis called after him sternly.

Connie sneered. Then she broke
into a giggle. “But it was almost
worth spending the night in jail
just to hear Lewis.”
“Yes, we had quite a conven-
tion,” Jay told Granny chattily.
“By the way, where’s Lewis?”
Ann broke in.
“He just drove in,” Granny in-
formed her.
“Where’s he been?” his wife
demanded.
"Why don’t you ask him?”
Connie suggested sensibly.
Ann grimaced. “He isn’t speak-
ing to me.”
At that moment Lewis came in,
smiling cherrily, to the combined
surprise of the assembled family.
“Well," he announced, “I called
up the License Bureau and ar-
ranged to have the five-day rul-
ing over-looked.”
Ann handed him a cup of coffee
•with a glance that said she
wished it were poison. “So you
plan to insult your daughter the
moment she walks in. And I sup-
pose in case she refuses to bfe
made a good woman you brought
along a snowstorm to cast her
ouj into—”
Jay started to rise. “I think
I’ll stroll out and see how the
roses are doing.”
Connie grabbed his arm. "Oh,
no, you mustn’t go. You’re prac-
tically in the family, anyway.”
She gave him a meaning look,
and he subsided uncomfortably.
Ellen appeared in the doorway,
With the suddeness of an appari-
tion. “Morning, everybody. Dad,
why aren’t you at the office?”
•he remarked casually.
He murmur ’d something about
having a few things to attend to.
"Nice week-end, Mother?”
Ellen went on blithely, helping
herself to a piece of toast from
ths tsbls.
“Oh, nothing exciting,” Aim
told her. “And you?”
“Deadly—”
“Mother, I’m starved. Do you
suppose I eould have some bacon
and eggs?” Ann rattled on at
random, trying to appear at ease.

Honoring Mrs. Clarence Badt
of Dallas, Mrs. Oscar Liliensterr
Jr., entertained with a two-table
bridge party at her home on West
Seventh Street Thursday after-
noon.
Spring flowers added to the
attractiveness of the party rooms
where the hostess received her
guests for the delightful after-
noon of bridge in which Mrs. Badt
received the high score award and
was also presented a gift bv the
honoree.
Mrs. Lilienstern served a very
delicious salad plate to the fol-
lowing guests: Mrs. Oscar Irvin,
of Daingerfield, the honoree^
"No, my dear,” he replied <
crisply, "But I see you can. Ellen,
where’s your yovng man?”
“He stopped at Stamford for
a shave. He—” She stopped sud-
denly realizing the import of his
words. She darted a quick glance
at her mother. “Does father
know?”
“He does, I regret to say.”
Ellen took them all in with a
bitter look. “Okay. I see I
shouldn’t have come back to this
house. I guess I just had too
much coiiCdence in my family—’’
Then she whirled on Aunt Con-
nie. “You’re a fine one to tattle!
If you weren’t so rich—and Dad’s
sister—you’d have been sent to a
home for delinquent girls long
ago!” With that, Ellen picked up
her bag and dashed upstairs. Ann
hastened after her.
Doug’s arrival some minutes
later was the next bombshell to
burst on the family. They re-
ceived him in the living room.
J ay greeted him heartily. “Glad
to see you again, Mr. Hall. May
I introduce Mr. Murray, Ellen’s
father.”
“It’s a privilege to meet you
sir," Doug responded warmly. He
shook hands all around, and tried
not to look as uncomfortable as
he felt. “I just dropped in to see
if Ellen is back from Hartford
yet,” he told them.
“Yes, she’s back,” was Lewis’
terse comment.
‘I’ll go tell her you’re here,”
Granny offered amiably, going
out.
“Er—thanks.”
“Mr. Hall,” Lewis finally be-
gan mildly, “unfortunately, I
wasn’t here when you dropped in
to tea Saturday—”
Miss Lallah Pounders enter-
tained the Thursday Bridge Club
and additional guests at her home
on North Jefferson
Thursday afternoon.
Three tables were arranged for
the games in the party rooms,
effectively decorated with color-
ful spring flowers.
Mrs M. F. Meyer was fortu-
nate in receiving the high score
prize for club members and Mrs.
C. O. Lide high for guests. ;
