I happened to think that perhaps .1 should drop in and apologize,” “It wasn't necessary,” he assured her, taking one of her “And you say you’re town dauce?” “Qh, yes.* I love to “Would there be any chance of a poor old doctor like me getting you to promise him a few dances?” “If you'd really Rhe me to.” Her eyes, staring up into his, were with pleasure, ”1’11 count the hours.” She laughed merrily at Then drawing her hand away his grasp, a tbit reluctantly, turned to go. "Don’t forget the dances]” he called after her as she was going out the door. Out on the street she happened to run into Katherine Stall. The older girl seemed not to notice her until -Hope caught her -by the hand. “Kathy!” she cried gayly. “I’m so glad to see you. I want to ask your opinion on something.” “Oh, Hope. Hello. I—I didn’t see you.” “Kathy, you have such grand taste in clothes. I just bought this suit, and I'd like your honest opin ion of it. Do you like it?” “Why, Hope, you look wonder ful!” In her enthusiasm Katherine momentarily forgot her reserve. “But you don’t look like Hope. You look years older-—actually grown up.” She laughed. “I’ll be 20 my next birthday,” Hope reminded her. “I know. But in those slacks you always wear—-and I never could get' you use to use makeup—.” “The woman down at Wilton's showed me how. But, Kathy, I wanted to ask you somethirg else.

Will yoti meet me in the garden by the fountain at ten? Then we can dis cuss it.” Hope looked about anx iously. “Kathy,” she asked hastily, When' she had managed to locate her. “I want you to do me a very great favor. If you’ll meet me in the gar den at ten, you’ll learn something very surprising.” “I—i guess I can. If I'm not dancing with Dr. Hedway then.” “It’s a promise! If you’re not dancing with him then, come and wait for me back of the rosebush east of the fountain, if anyone passes there, don’t speak to the per son*” Hedway!” took a gold t angel.

Then seeing the futility of the chase, he returned to Hope. Like some loose-fitting cloak the anxiety drop ped from his shoulders and in a moment he was sauve and genial. “Just a poor jealous kid.” he murmured and would have taken her in his arms again. But just as his arms were closing about her slender* gold-clad body, something- struck the side of his face with re sounding force. “That for you!” cried Hope. “And I should slap your face a dozen times, you snake ] But I haven’t time. Besides, I don’t -want to get my hands dirty!” Turning, she sped up the pathway toward the house. At the doorway she paused and glanced back to see if she were be ing pursued. But he was still stand ing by the mountain; and from what she could make out in the dim light of the moon, he was rubbing his offended cheek. « Soft music flooded about -Hope as she stepped back on the dance floor. Two fellows rushed up to her. and almost collided in their efforts to be the first to ask her to dance. But she refused them both, softening her denial with a brief smile. Then she set out to find Jack. “Dr. Castler?” someone answered her. “The last time I saw him lie was over taiKing to Mrs. Maberly.” So .crowded was the dance that it took her the better part of half an hour to locate Mrs. Maberly. “Mr. Castler has gone,” that wom an told her. “He come to me and explained that he’d have to leave, but that he’d -be back later. He was returning for you, I believe.” “Do you know where he went?” “Some one was hove hunting for Dr, -Hedway. It seems that Jane. Morton has had a very bad heart spell. Then when they couldn’t find him, they " his place, way of it.” “Thank she should left. Surely Katherine would under- tand—would know the reasons why. But evgn when she decided to look for Katharine, and spent nearly an other half hour searching for her, she could not find her. When Hope tan up the steps of Jane Morton'S house, she heard voices in the bedroom downstairs. And when, she hurried straight into the bedroom without even knock ing, a very unusual sight met her eyes. Jane, dressed in a nightgown, was sitting bolt upright in bed.

And saying, Miss Morton, that been deliberately mistreating But I am saying that at the very least, he has seriously erred in diag nosing your case.

FOUR-FIFTHS OF THE SUGAR CANADA This map shows where Canada, Great Britain and the Upitedt States got their sugar in the good old days of peace. Our three countries take practically all the ex portable sugar from these major sugar-exporting areas. But supplies have either been cut off by enemy occu pation of the country—-as in the case of Java and the Philippines, or their production radically reduced by shortage of workers, as in the case of Hawaii, Potto Rico, Australia, Trinidad, Fiji. CONSUMES HAS TO BE IMPORTED Even the production of beet sugar in Canada and the United States has been drastically cut by labour shortage. In both countries the ’43 sugar beet crop was forty per cent less than in ’41. The only country to show an important increase is Cuba, where output had for years been deliberately restricted. But its increase has not been sufficient to offset the losses elsewhere—let alone meet the increased demand. ROLLING The war has brought some unusual demands on the United Nations* sugar pool. Vast quantities have been taken for making industrial alcohol used in the manufacture of synthetic rubber (tires, etc.) as well as T.N.T. and smokeless powder. For instance, the explosive to fill five Id-inch shells requires as much sugar as THE SUPPLY IS SHARED All sugar supplies are pooled and under the control of the Combined Food Board of the United Nations, which allots adies to Canada, United States and Great Britain on a □rin basis.
