ADELA IS RUDE CHAPTER IX 'JVHE Curt house was on fashionable Green street a massive, ivy-hung stone mansion set in the midst of beautifully kept lawns. Diana knew that people who lived in Green street had lived there all their lives. No mushroom development, this, but a sturdy, steady growing with the itself.

Stephen Curt had never lived anywhere else. Seeing his home, Diana learned more in a moment about the man than had been possible in all their previous short acquaintance. She felt more of a stranger, an outsider, than ever before in her life. She thought of the simple dining- sitting room at the farm arid of Stephen's easy acceptance of their ways. She'd be equally adaptable in his home.

She resolved it fiercely. Stephen introduced her to th'e butler, just inside 'the great entrance hall. Larkin was old and dignified and looked at Stephen with adoration. He led them into the Mibrary where warmth from a log fire penetrated to the far corners of the big, book- lined room. -As.

crossed the hall Diana glimpsed the elegance of the. drawing a white grand piano, a blue brocaded sofa, soft, thick taupe carpeting, an Adam fireplace and glittering chandeliers. A girl was standing by the fireplace in the library. A slender, intense-looking, dark-haired- girl. As little like -Stephen- as could.

possibly be imagined. Yet he said, "Diana, want you to meet my sister, Adela. She knows all about and she's very grateful to you for helping me out." Diana held out her hand, felt the strong, claw-like grasp of the girl, looked into dark, hostile eyes, a resentful gypsy face. A thin, discontented face it was, with a petulant expression about the lips. Adela was dressed in the height of fashion, but with an appalling lack of taste, in clothes which did absolutely nothing her vivid personality.

Diana sensed, that Stephen was a little nervous, that he was being very careful in giving Adela her cue as to how she was to accept her new sister-in-law. She saw teeth flash in a cruel, red mouth. The voice was too sweet, too friendly. "Welcome to the ancestral mansion," Adela said in her peculiar, high, mocking voice. "I do hope you'll be able to stick you've earned your money!" Stephen flushed darkly, angrily, but Diana said quickly, "I nlways try to be efficient in any of my jobs." The eyes of the two girls flashed and held and after a moment Adela's fell.

QATER Stephen led Diana to the great carved stairway where Frieda, who was to be her sersonal maid, waited to show her her room. Stephen said, his land on her arm, "Please don't mind Adela. She's poiled. She's had her own way long." "And may continue to have it Or all of me," Diana said crisply," hen felt sorry for him. She miled briefly.

"Don't worry about me. I'll get along. Remember, I lave red hair." He stood there watching until he disappeared with Frieda in he upper hallway. "I'll have to be stand to that girl," Diana was think- ig. "She knows so much more han I do about this sort of life, 'he'll humiliate me if she can.

lie's taken a dislike to me. I nust be very clever." Frieda led her into a wide, eautiful room done in blue and ilver. A matching bath could be een through a connecting door, This will mine for a ew months," Diana' thought, hrilled as any girl would be at so mUch fcenuty and luxury. Tin picture of the only two other rooms she had hnd came into mind cold upstairs room at the farm, and the bare little cubicle at her recent boarding house. She ran gratefully to the bright sparkling on the hearth.

After a moment she turned iriv. pulsively to Frieda, a middle-, aged, kind-faced woman, and held out her hand. "Can't we be friends?" she asked in her quick impulsive way. "I don't 'know' much nbout life ns the Ctirts live it. I'm sure you must have been here long time.

I'm going to need a lot of if you'll be on my side, I'm sure I'll get along." pRIEDA opened her eyes widely and looked into the flushed, beautiful face. The news that the young master was bringing home a bride had excited the servants greatly, and Frieda knew that sht was being envied this first inti- view of the new Mrs. Curt. But she had not expected such open overtures of friendship. She smiled delightedly and her handclasp was firm and reassuring.

"You may count on me at any time, Mrs. Curt," she said, pleased and friendly. "One up on Adela!" Diana was thinking "Frieda will tell me what to do." And the serving woman had been, the first to call her by her new name. Mrs. Stephen Curt! Now Frieda walked to the dressing table, took up a slender jeweler's box, handed it to Diana.

"Mr. Stephen asked me to see you got this," she said, smiling. Diana's fingers lifted the clasp. A glittering diamond bracelet mef her eyes and on Stephen's card was written, "From the very grateful groom on your wedding day." Stephen had forgotten flowers, but he had remembered in a more substantial way. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen.

Diana lifted it, her eyes filling with quick, appreciative tears. He'd wanted to do something kind, to make her feel his concern for her the moment she entered this room that was to be so intimately hers. Her heart lifted. She would make herself huppy and gay and contented She'd never let Stephen Curt gret his bargain. Which reminded her of Phil Bruce and Stephen's words concerning him.

Within a few hours these have' been transferred to the foundary in Illinois, and the load is on its way to become an integral part of the national detense. The steel arrives, only eight hours later than if the necessary tare had been in the yards of the foundry when the order was placed. Much delay and hundreds of dollars have been saved. The traffic department can relax until again called upon, which may be within the next hour, to solve a similar transportation problem. Since actual construction began on the project, in excess of 3,700 carloads of material guided and controlled by the traffic department, have rolled into the area.

A mass which, if collected, would make 73 full trains' of 50 cars each. The traffic department has set an enviable record in its efficient routing and directing of the movement of more than 367,000,000 pounds of vital construction materials to date, and can justly claim credit' for materially assisting in the completion of the project on schedule.

STEPHEN CURT stood before the triple mirrors in tier room and surveyed her several lovely selves therein reflected. Her dinner gown of simple black chiffyn had cost more than, as Diana Tucker, she had earned in a month. The diamond bracelet clasping her wrist, Stephen's gift on their wedding day, was worth a small fortune. And Diana was happy.

Reso- hitely she told herself that. In spite of the fact that her marriage was strictly a business affair. In spite of Stephen's sister, Adela, who did her best to humiliate Diana and make her uncomfortable whenever she could. And in spite of the fact that tonight, among other guests assembled for dinner below, would be Richard Thorpe. Diana was at a loss to understand why the thought of Richard Thorpe's coming to the house should cause her such distress.

Aside from the fact that she had never liked her former employer and that she had left his presence the last time after telling him to "go to the devil," she knew she had no earthly reason now for this dread of seeing him again. 'It was Adela who had invited the Thorpes and when she had lold Diana that they had accepted the invitation, it was with a malicious amusement which Diana was quick to see and understand. During the weeks that had elapsed since the snowy evening when Stephen Curt had asked her to become his wife, events had passed in such rapid succession that Diana was left breathless. But with Frieda's help, she had selected the right clothes, presided over the household affairs with simple dignity and more wondered if she'd really ever known any other life than this. Diana's relatives, completely overawed by her good fortune, had come down for dinner one evening and Stephen had exerted himself to be especially charming.

There was no doubt that he was genuinely fond of her father, who could discuss with ease many of the subjects on which Stephen was considered an authority. Stephen was kind to the two boys, too. Herman had come up especially from the State University for the occasion. jVfRS. STEPHEN CURT was launched into new and Very exciting life, made all the more glamorou's because she knew it was not to last.

She was intensely interested in Stephen's writing and was delighted when on occasion he asked her to help him prepare copy. Now she was no longer nervous in taking dictation because Stephen was so patient and kind. Consequently she turned out manuscript that was a joy to behold and which Stephen, himself a hunt-nnd-peck typist, sent to his publishers with pride. Even Miss Todd, Stephen's regular secretary, complimented her work. Diana had been drawn to Elva Todd at their first meeting and subsequently they had become friends.

Diana was sure that Elva was in love with Stephen, and also that he was completely unaware of the fact. All in all, it was a pleasant, orderly, abundant for Adela. From the first, Stephen's sister had resented Diana's presence in the house; had resented ease with which "that stenographer" as she called Diana, had fitted into the life of the Curts. "Suppose he should really grow care for that scheming adventuress and not let her go when the time comes," her thoughts would run in abject terror, when on occasion she saw Stephen's eyes following Diana. "Then they wouldn't want me want to get rid of me! Stephen she'd make him! She'd poison his mind against me.

And where would I go? Where would I go? None of this would have happened if it weren't for that hideous old Ellen. She influenced my father to make such a ghastly will. How I hate that woman!" the finishing TVTOW, putting touches to her make-up, Diana was pleased with her reflected image. Her hair lay in smooth shining waves of red gold; her skin glowed from exquisite care ond attention; and the warm white of her beautiful neck and shoulders rose from the folds ot black chiffon where white gardenias lent fragrance and beauty. She answered a low knock at the door to find Stephen, handsome in dinner clothes, waiting for her.

It was a little attention for which she was always grateful privilege of going down into the unknown world below at his side and not alone. He smiled at the picture she presented. "I suppose it's Useless to tell you how lovely you took, since you've no doubt been standing before the mirror for the last half hour," he leased. Diana laughed, remembering how from the first moment he had seemed to be able to look through her and read her thoughts. She retorted, "Since you know so much nbout me, perhaps you know why I chose a black frock tonight." "Because you know black sets off your fair beauty," he hazarded gallantly.

She shook her head. "No. Because I read in a book that a well-cut black-frock always gives a assurance of And heavens knows, I need assurance tonight." "Why tonight, especially?" "Because a certain person for whom I once once told to go to the to be a guest tonight." He raised his dark brows in surprise. "You don't mean you're letting the thought of Richard Thorpe get you down?" She longed to say, "Your sister- knows I once worked for him. I feel they have discussed me together.

She invited him here to annoy me." But she only ajiswered with mock seriousness, "I never know what to say to people I've insulted the next time I meet them." Stephen laughed. "From my observation of the affair, I'd say you came off decidedly the victor in your last encounter with Thorpe, And I believe you can do it again. Just say, 'Why, hello nice to see you That's the perfect formula for all occasions, isn't it? And before the evening is over you'll probably be calling each other 'darling'!" Diana shook her head. "Somehow I don't believe it will go that far," she answered wryly, "But thanks for the recipe anyway. I'll try.
