"Gee, Miss Monroe, with you giving me a dime every tirne you get in the elevator 1'11 have the $50 in no time. I've just been saving them two months." "You never did tell me what" you were saving the dimes for, Sonny," she hinted, eyes glowing like gor- geous jewels beneath the perky lit- tle hat that set over her red -gold hair. "I want to spend a week in one of the resort hotels and be some- body important for a while," he ex- plained I see." She spoke thoughtfully and as the door slid open she step- ped out. "I think you have the right idea, Sonny, and I'm all for it." * * An overly plump colored maid opened the door to her ring. "Any calls, Hilda?" Honey asked breathlessly as she entered. "Mr. Danburne called about 4 this afternoon. He said he'd call again." "Not important,' she remarked lightly. "How come?" inquired the maid with a knowing grin. "You -all can't fool me none. You two is jest like this," and site held two fingers together. "He comes to see you every night and phones every day." She rolled her eyes. "Well, maybe it is just a little important," Honey amended, drop- ping to a chair and reaching for the cigarette box. She extracted one carelessly, but before she could light it Hilda handed her a cellophane box. tit * t1 "These came." "Orchids!" exclaimed Honey smiling, and lifted the card out. "Looks like my boy friend really is a mite fond of me, doesn't it?" "It shore does. You gets flowers every day, too." When Hilda had returned to the kitchen Honey tiptoed quickly to the china clock over the fireplace. She turned back the minute hand 15 minutes. From her bedroom a moment lat- er she called: "Hilda, see what time it is, please." It's 5 o'clock, Miss Honey," said the staid after looking at the liv- ing roots clock.

Next Week very distinct tones so there could be no doubt about the time. "Yes'm." "Thanks." Quickly she locked the door of the room and pulled out the confiscated handbag and held it tenderly for just a motnent, eyes sparkling with anticipation. Then, holding her breath, she snapped the lock and it fell open, and, turning it upside down, she emptied the contents on the bed. As a dark blue velvet box came tumbling out she took a deep breath and grabbed for the small parcel with eager hands. Springing the catch, the lid popped open to reveal a blue -white diamond whose size and fire were breath -taking as the light fell on it. The gent twin- kled up at her in all its bright glory. "Oh!" she gasped softly, awed. "It's beautiful." Without pausing for a second glance, she dropped it back in the purse and gathered up the rest of the contents. Then she tucked the bag between the mattress and the springs of her bed, smoothing the bedspread out to leave no tell-tale marks for : critical .ye. * * w• Moving swiftly after that, she took four more dimes and went out into the hall. When the elevator cane up in response to her ring she held out the pieces of silver to the boy. His eyes fairly danced for a second, then clouded. "Here are a few more dunes, Sonny, that 1 just found. They should help the trip along some, don't you think?" "Gee, bliss Monroe," he said shaking his head regretfully, "I can't take all those." "How about doing me 'a favor, Sonny? Be sure to tel Mr. Dtan- burne the exact time 1 got in this afternoon if he asks." "Sure, Miss Monroe. But 1 for- got to look at the clock." "Hilda said it was fire o'clock. Will you remember?" "You bet 1 will, I'd do anything for you. Everybody in the hotel would." * * 1: With a feeling of deep content- ment and security, Honey returned to her apartment just as the tele- phone rang. Hello? Miss Monroe speaking." The voice at the other end .was masculine and frantic. "I've got to see you right away. Before night." Gifts Right from Your Own Farm Your farm is like a super market when it coupes to Christmas shop- ping. At your very finger tips you 6t have a choice of gifts that will please your friends much more than some that aro "store-bought" 1 don't mean e jellies and jams, or fruit calve from your kitchen. They're wonder- ful, too. But there are hundreds of other gifts from the great ott-of- doora. Beiw•e fall is too - far gone, for instance, you'll be taking up your flower bulbs, lilies and gladioli, dahlias and vannas. If your friend in the city has even a scrap of a garden, she'll be delighted with a box of bulbs, complete with plant- ing directions and labeled by color and kind. No :tatter how many expensive gifts she gets, she will treasure this personal friendly touch, * * altno.t every • garden has some flowers that are deluxe, that male your friends oh -and -ah, \Vhy not give these special seeds as a gift? 1 have sotne double hollyhocks, from my grandfather's garden, that ate a favorite of sty friends, 1 also have some phlox, delphinium, and larkspur seeds flit 1 like to share with others. You can be as professional as a florist. and pack rose roots in peat and moss. I use a discarded oat- meal box as a container, and cover with an attactive paper. Somehow a package like this carries a very personal holiday wish, While you're iu the woods, you nti;;itt like to loo!: for birch limbs that are perfectly straight, and about six to right inches acrivsa Saw them into 12- t,:, 18 -inch lengths, hollow them out with a sharp chisel, and you have a window box for plants. After filling them 'with rich woods loans, trailing vines will be sure to stay healthy. Or slake the birch sticks into candleholders by poring three holes part-way through. Then saw off a slice of wood front the bottom so holders will be steady. * r * Go down to the creek for pebbles that glow red or gold beneath the water. Add these to a bowl of bulbs. Or put them in a goblet. Fill with water, put in a vine, and yon have a gift of real charm. And who wouldn't like a basket of plump•meatcd nuts from your hickory and walnut trees? If you've' time, a quart jar filled with picked nut meats is even choicer. If yout'g`friends have to buy their Christmas- tree, they'll appreciate one as a gift frc,uh your farm. And if you're ambitious, give 'the tree a special touch by spraying it with white, aluminum, or pastel paint. These are only a few of the gifts you have growing on the farm. Your imagination can go, on front here. But the time to start,collect- -iug is now. You'll avoid that last- minute rush that takes all the joy out of giving. And it's much more fun to spend those last minutes around your fireplace, giving these gifts some spiffy wrappings that I will make the "love and best wishes" seem very real. "You sound all excited, Joe," she said, and though her voice held just the right amount of concern, her face was bright with a grin that gave hint to the fact that she was well pleased. "What is it -r" "Can't tell you now. I'm corning right up-" But we have a date at eight, Joe," she reminded hint quickly. I was just going to rest a bit. Can't--" "No -can't wait." His words were clipped in his haste to get them out. "Send Hilda out for something when 1 get there. I must talk with you alone. At once." There was a click as he hung up abruptly and she was given no further oppor- tunity to delay his coming. For a moment, anger took hold of herr in a tight grip. Never before" had anyone, much less a man, hung up the receiver in her face and she was furious to have it happen to her now. * * * "The nerve of foe Danburue," pretty r she exclaimed aloud, her p Y eyes flaming. "Who does he think does think he And he heis? Adwhods i is talking to?" But as she realized the true sig- nificance of his words and why he a and set all was so upset, anger left her she forgave him. She stood up, She knew he would be at the apartment in lee than P a ten minutes. And ten minutes was a short time in width to accomplish ag rear deal, Shea e d rt d over to the mantel, made sure that Hilda was not watching, and ran the clock itp fifteen minutes -the correct rhos to a dot, By that alibi might hong her fate, (`Eo be costtinned) s N DAYSC11001, LESSON by Rev.

Next time I'll get as mad as I like! But rain or no rain; I did have a good day in the city and I suppose the only reason I am so, tired is be- cause I always try to cram too: much into one day. Business in the morning ... and then what do you think of this coincidence. I thought I had better let my sister know I was in town as we had a meeting planned for that evening. But the line was busy when I tried to phone her so I caste out of the booth and was looking over sotne bargains in stockings -I was in a department store -when a voice behind me said -"Now what are you buying?" 1 looked up and there was my sister!' No wonder they say truth is strong- er than fiction It doesn't seem pos- sible that time» g the thousands of shoppers that were in the city that day the two of us should meet, with• out any previous planning, at the same time and place. Presently L went on with my shopping,. and db you know, 1 fount! that suits and dresses are now comparatively re- asonable in price. And oh, the dress goods -they were simply lovely.. Generally speaking, 1 am not awful- ly interested in dress but there was something about the soft colorful, materials that day that made me feel I would like a bottomless purse and; a good dressmaker to make up any- thing I felt like taking home. But believe it or not,. all I bought were shoes and stockings for myself and underwear for Partner! How's that for self-discipline? After that 1 went to a show - "Luxury Liner," That kept me away front temptation -incidentally out of the rain. I. enjoyed the show - Jane Powell is a great little actress.
