A GOOD LAXATIVE
Persoanl Property
,By FRANCES BARBOUR
Adapted from the Metro, Goldwyn, Mayer Motion Picture,
to be shown at the Royal Theater, Summerville, July 5-6.
SYNOPSIS: Handsome, irrepressi
ble Ravmond Dabney has been turned
out of his house by his father and his
pompous brother Claude, who look
upon him as the "black sheep” of the
family. Then, in London’s smartest
hotel bar, he spies a gorgeous blonde,
Mrs. Crystal Wethepby. Though he is
unaware of it, it is Crystal to whom
Claude engaged. Raymond follows her
home and on the doorsteps strikes up
a conversation with Bailiff Jenkins
. who is stalking Crystal for her debts.
Ever the opportunist. Raymond ac
cepts the job of Sheriff’s assistant —
"the man in possession ’ —until Crys
tal ays her bill. But he is frightened
out of his flirtatiousness when Crys
tal invents a sharp-shooting husband.
He retires 'to the butler’s room, very
much subdued.
CHAPTER FOUR.
Early the next morning, Raymond,
I still clad in the peppermint pajamas,
I opened the door to the taxi driver,
| whom he had sent for his suitcase.
Disregarding the man’s oblique stare
|at his attire, Raymond proceeded
blithely up the stairs. He bore that
well-known resemblance to the cat
who has eaten the canary.
“Wonderful girl. Clara.” he thought
as he dressed. “The perfect servant. I
Knows just the right answers to give.
a fellow.’* , v ,
Fifteen minutes later ne knocked
on the door of Crystal’s room. A
breakfast tray was balanced on one
arm. Perched on his head was a dim
inutive Tyrolean hat and laced up
his ankles were the boots that had
tramped the halls the night before.
Dazedly, Crystal stared at him as |
he bowed and set the tray down.
“Now!” He held up a warning fin- I
ger. “Don’t ask who gave away
your little joke. I promised Clara not
! to tell.” Sitting down, he jerked his
1 legs neatly into the air and cata- I
I pulted the boots off his feet. “Thus I
we see that while the late Mr. Weth
i erby’s head was small—his feet were
; large.”
“Is that so!” Crystal snapped, i
j “And thus we see that with you, it’s
I the other way around.” There was I
I an angry glint in her eyes. “Be good
I enough to close the door after you.”
He looked at her in pained surprise.
: “Do you mean—you’d rather I
I went?” She eyed him sternly. “I
| mean I’d rather you hadn’t come at
all.”
Raymond rubbed his back. “That’s
' a nice thing to say after the night
I’ve had. That bed! He clucked. “It’s
•easy to understand why your butler
i left.” Crystal repressed a smile.
I “Where’s Clara?” she asked. He
grinned. “At a rough guess, in the
kitchen —looking for the breakfast
| tray.”
The telephone rang. Impatiently,
Crystal grabbed the receiver. “Yes?”
Then her veico went all gooy as she
heard Claude on the wire. “Oh, dar
ling, it’s you. Nice of you to call so
early.”
Bending down, Raymond jibed in
Crystal’s ear, “The late Mr. Weath
erby? Say hello for me.” She push
!ed him away. “Shut up. Go away.”
i Frantically, she spoke into the tele
| phone. “No, darling, no. I was just
talking to a little dog h°re. What
was that—l didn’t hear—”
At the other end of the telephone,
Claude, turning a lobster-red, was
shouting. “I said you were adorable.
A-D —no, not B. D. D as in dove. No,
I not love, dove! What? —listen. D-O

tonight anyhow. Goodbye sweet
heart.”
Crystal hung up and then, with a
sudden little wail, burst into a tor
rent of weeping. Instantly, Raymond
was sitting alongside her, wiping a
! way her tears with a large handker
i chief. “Please tell me what’s wrong?’
: He crossed to the other side of the
j table and held up some orange juice.
' “I think you’re hungry—”
Reaching for the toast, Crystal
. sobbed. “I’m not.” She took a sip of
coffee. “Can’t you see the spot I’m
■ in? I’m giving a dinner party to
night.” Raymond leaned over and
tilted up her chin. “Is it—an impor
tant dinner party?” She wept, “Os
course it’s important. I’ve got my
fiance coming to dinner with his
parents. I don’t want the house full
of bill-hounds.”
Raymond was silent. Then, “Isn’t
there anyone you can get the money
from?” She shook her head miscra
i ibly. “I don’t know of anyone. Can you
lend it to me?” He looked at her sad
ly. “No, I wish I could.” She sobbed.
“That’s awfully sweet of you. I wish
you could, too.” Raymond’s voice be
came serious. “Now listen, haven’t
you any friends or family or some-
I one?’ v
His tenderness brought forth more
tears. Mopping her eyes, Crystal told
him the few simple-facts—how she
had won a slogan contest in Des
Moines, lowa and then, on the boat
over, had met Mr. Weatherby and
before she knew it, had married him.
“And what about this coming mar
\ riage?” Raymond asked in an odd
voice.
Without realizing it, Crystal had
been twining her fingers through
Raymond’s. She drew back and sat
I up "stiffly. “This time I haven’t any
illusions." I like him and he’s got
money. Tons of it.” SHte squirmed
I uncomfortably under his steady gaze
j flared, “And then you have to come
barging in just at the critical—”
“Wait.” Raymond jumped up.
“Perhaps I can help you out.” Ray
mond gestured her to silence. “Well,
I have got an ,idea. It’s this. I can’t
| evaporate but at least I can cooperate.
In fact i’t part of my duties.” Crys
tal looked at him, puzzled.
He continued, “Who’s going to
serve the dinner? Clara will have to
do the cooking. Now look. I know a
thing or two about wines—you saw
just how I handle a tray. Well then
—tonight I’ll be the butler instead of
the Sheriff’s officer. What d’you
say?”
Crystal’s face shone. “What do I
say? It’s a grand idea! And now I
remember. My last butler forgot his
uniform. Oh, you’re marvelous.” His
eyes were looking deep into hers.
“You’re marvelous, too,” he mur
mured. Crystal felt her heart flutter
like a bird’s as he drew close. Then
their lips were just an inch apart.
She took a deep breath and turned
away, dizzily. “Oh, by the way.” she
said, fighting the blush that was
mounting to her forehead, “I’d better
tell you the names of the guests if
you’re to announce them. There’s
Mrs. Burns and her daughter Kath
erine—and Lord Carstairs —and the
Dabneys, of course —” Raymond’s
head jerked up. “The—who? She
looked at him curiously. “The Dab
neys. My fiance, Claude Dabney and
his father and mother. Why, what’s
the matter?” His eyes looked glassy.
“Ah . . .um ... I thought you said
Dabaey,” he replied feebly.
“I did say Dabney.” What alied

What does Prohibition
PROHIBIT? Certainly it isn’t pro

freely throughout the State. About
the only thing it is prohibiting is the
State from having any control on
whiskey whatever, or collecting the
taxes whiskey should be paying into
the State Treasury.
Let’s face the FACTS. The big
city counties want whiskey, and have
shown that they will get it—prohi
bition or not. Isn’t it better to give it
to them legally, with the State con
trolling its sale, and securing much
needed tax revenues from its sale?
