E e SERIAL STORY OF BRIGHTNESS G•NE BY HOLLY WATTERSON THE STORY; Peter Frazier, medical 'student, returns from a summer's hospital job to find things drastically altered at home. Peter's once -wealthy father, Bruce, has lost his business. Belie,. Bruce's second wife, has retained title to their country house and practical• ly driven Bruce away. Candace Beoh, Belle's niece, has entered nurse's training despite her ambi- tious aunt's furious objections. This pleases Peter—except that Candace has dome it for love of Martin Corby, Peter's roommate • in medical school, And Peter is in love with Candace himself. ,M e * PETER'S TROUBLES GROW CHAPTEM Ili Peter's first glimpse of Candace was reassuring. Those amazing • eyes of hers, that ranged from a clear gray to a deep, almost - purple according to her moods, ap- peared at their largest and dark- est because of the Smudges of weariness beneath them. Her face was pale and she appeared tired, but there could be no. doubt that she was happy. They met in front of the nurses' home and there were people passing so that they greeted formally; but her glhnce flung its arms about him .and the pressure of her hands did the rest. "Peter," she said happily, "Peter, Pm so glad to 'see you." She couldn't leave the grounds• she said, but they were otherwise free to spend the whole afternoon together if ire 'wished.

Aren't you supposed to take a nap or something on your time off?" Site dismissed that airily. "I can always sleep," she said. It was too fine a day to visit indoors. She led him to a bench under a tree at the far edge of the grounds and they sat facing each other and smiling with the pleasure et being together again. w * r "You look as nice as ever, Peter," she said. "Nicer." She cocked her head critically. "A bit on the stern side, maybe, or at least I thought so the first mo- ment I saw you. But then that's a good thing, an air of firm au- thority, in a physician." She gig- gled. "See what au authority I've become on the subject, in one, month? I'm writing a handbook, "Dope for Doctors, or Babblings on the Bedside Manner" How's your own beside manner coming along, by the way? Was the sum- mer as interesting as you'd hoped' it would be? I certainly wouldn't know from your letters, You've been a worm about writing; you realize that, don't you?" Peter said earnestly, "I wanted to, but I didn't have a spare min- ute, honestly—" "I know," she admitted, "and whatever time you did have you'd want to use for writing your fa- ther. I'm only teasing. I under- stood, really I did. Have you been home yet? How's everybody? Uncle Bruce?" Her tone didn't change; she didn't know how wrong things were, then. He decided not to tell her; she'd find out soon enough. He said lightly, "Dad wasn't there. Belle tells me he's at his club." "He hasn't spent much time at the place this summer," Candace said. "He's been awfully busy on something that kept him pretty much tied • to town. He was out once several weeks ago, though, and stopped off to see me." She thought it best not to men- tion how tired he had appeared to her, how strained. "Belle?" she questioned. "I'll bet she didn't mention me, did she?" "No, as a matter of fact she didn't. Why?" • -* r * Candace giggled again. "She's furious with me," she confided, "She practically put me out and warned me never to darken her door again when I told her I was going into training." She grew suddenly serious. "You don't feel that way about nursing, do you, Peter? What did you honestly think, when I wrote you what I was doing?" Peter's heart commenced a sud- den thumping that interfered with his breathing. A less auspicious time, just now when he'd learned that Jae had scarcely a cent in the world and when, for all he knew, he might have to assume some of Bruce's obligations, could scarcely have been found for acquainting Candace with his feelings; but the opportunity the offered was too great and he could not, he, found, help himself. He said meaningly, trying for a light tone, "I thought it was swell. I thought, 'What a wife she'll make for a struggling young p'hysician'!" a M * He was totally unprepared for the blush that dyed her crimson. "Peter!" she cried. "Peter, you guessed! Or did he tell you? Well, anyway, I don't suppose it mat- ters, just so you do know. But he did promise to let me tell you—" Peter repeated slowly, "He? Who?" "Why, Martin, silly," Candace said tremulously, laughing. "Stop teasing, Peter." The fierce blush had brought tears brimming to her eyes; ashamed of her emotion else ducked her head, hiding her YEAR-ROUND RESORT HOTI: STE, ADELE 51b HAUT P.O. ,�(, ,� CAf'IAAA vy Snow Vacation, A distinguished Lmlr.• entinn resort Invites yon to holiday fart health" Omani s aelsoo1, sk -tows, excel- lent cuisine, nil eon- venleneee and instellik appointments, YS n 1 t S train service.

The three of us can alwaye be together, I couldn't bear the. thought of being separated; all the time from you—" Peter rose se eharply that it was as if he had pushed her• She stared up at him, startled. "Why, what's the Matter?" He said, trying to smile, "I've"' got to get in to town." She looked like a child who has been repulsed and doesn't under stand the reason, "But right now? Might this minute?" "I've got to see Dad," he said, liven to himself his voice. sounded stiff, and blood, "And," he added, "congratulate the lucky man" He bent to kiss her briefly, "He is very lucky. And I hope, `lay dear, that you'll be happy," Peter's interview with his fa- ther yielded him little satisfac- tion. Brltco seemed determined to appear unworried. Things were pretty bad at the moment, he ad- mitted, but there was reason to hope that something might yet be salvaged , Mint the wreck; they wouldn't ]snow that definitely for another month or so. The thing that hurt him worst, as Peter had suspected, was Belle's stand, She ,had refused to allow the mortgage on Tuckaways that might have averted the ca- tastrophe. Bruoe's strongest pride was his reputation for integrity. He was afraid that by his having put the place in Belle's name and by her Miltingon to it, it would appear that be was trying to avoid his obligations. That would ham- per him in his efforts to make a comeback, too, certainly so tar as trying to establish credit went. But he was not bitter about her. "After all," he said, "the .place was put iu her name so that she'd be protected. She's within her rights in refusing to give it up. She feels that she's no longer very young and that she's entitled to security — she feels also," he added, grinning ruefully, "that since I'm not so very young either the chances of my making a come- back are not very good and the gamble would be too great, it would simply be throwing good money after bad." * * "I never heard such darned non- sense," Peter said furiously. "I can't think of half a dozen' of the topnotchers who are .anywhere near a match for you in keenness and ability. Times are bad, slue. But they won't stay that way." He evaded the question of age. Bruce grasped Peter's arlu and gave it an affectionate pressure. "I know," he said, "We'll come through it, of course. But there may be some trying times ahead. And I feel as though live let you down. Your tuition, .fortunately, is paid, but I don't know how we'll manage about your living ex. penses—" Peter said, "I3 that's all that's worrying you!" He was fiercely grateful for his father's generosity heretofore in the matter of an allowance, and for the work that had kept him too busy to have time for spending much of it. He produced a bank book showing a balance sufficient to see him through this entire last year and yet have enough over to be of some help to his father if he should need it. He pressed it on Bruce. "I want you to have it, Dad." Bruce whistled. "If you could manage to accumulate this mush out of what I gave you, you must be a financial wizard. Maybe you. should have been managing the business.' He gave it back firmly., "I don't need help that badly yet, thank the Lord." But Peter saw that he was relieved, and proud.

Spot On The Rug? - Remove It Quickly Some First -Aid Treatments For Floor Coverings Prompt action is' required to cope with stains or spots on your floor covering', says the Christian Science Monitor, Remember to use the right remedy at once to . .circumvent an impending spot or stain—thus taking immediate pre- cautions against permanent' harm and eliminating the start of dry rot or moth damage if possible.. Then call in your professional rug cleaner at once, for his advice. Here are the immediate first- aid treatments for floor coverings: Dirt Spots: To remove, brush thoroughly with a soft brush. Then sponge with warm, mild • soapsuds and rinse carefully with warm waiter. Grease Spots: These rot the fabric and should be removed at once with carbon tetrachloride (sold under various trade names). Apply with a soft cloth—taking up the soil with a clean cloth or blotter as it dissolves. Ink Stains: Take up freshly spilled ink with blotting paper or soft cloth. Then sponge the spot with lukewarm, water. Old or stubborn stains should be sent to the professional cleaner. Chewing Gum: Soften by pour- ing on a little carbon tetrachlor- ide. Let stand a few minutes, then remove with a dull knife. Any remaining traces may be sponged with tetrachloride. Road Oil, Tar or Asphalt Sponge with cloth -well moistened with carbon tetrachlorides Change the cloth' asit becomes soiled and continue until cloth remains un- soiled. Paint Stains: `Fresh paint, if moist, can be cleaned by rubbing gently with cloth wet in turpen- tine. Animal Stains: Most stains of this nature cause discolorations which cannot be entirely removed. Clean at once. Sponge thoroughly with salt solution (1/a cup of salt to 1 quart of lukewarm water). Then sponge with weak ammonia solution (1 part in 20 parts of water). There is also a process by which the whole rug may be recolored to look like new. Blood.Stains: Sponge with salt solution of 1/a cupful of salt in 1 quart of lukewarm water.

CHAMBERS A Chat On Desserts With the rationing of sugar, butter and the scarcity of whip- ping cream the problem of des serts becomes more difficult. Desserts are of two kinds, those just to "top off the meal," so to speak, and those planned from a calorie or vitamin standpoint to help balance the meal. En England a custom prevails; which is one of great common sense. Raw fruit is a popular dessert and what is more healthful for all of us? Meals, well bal- anced from the protein and carbo- hydrate standpoint, can very easily be finished with say ra-w apples — those lovely red apples, which especially at this season of the year make their appearance with all the extra rosiness that apples ever had. There is the "Delicious" apple and many oth- ers, that are very appetizing and mest healthful for adults and children. As a nation we have fallen into a bad habit of thinking most desserts should be sweet. This is also the season for the lovely California grapes. They, too, make an ideal ending to a heavy or well balanced meal. California also sends us dates and raisins, which of course are ex- pensive for those of us who must watch our budgets. Oranges "are cheaper now and at the peals of their season and theylend varia- tion for most menus. The English custom of using crackers and cheese for dessert is well worth remembering: This will have to be guided by the rest of your menu and would be barred if your meal is already high in protein — meats, beans, peas, etc. Many omit the dessert when using a substantial salad and this again is a very healthful thing to do for all. It does seem unfortunate that we have not a little extra sugar for our bountiful Canadian apple crop, but I am sure the govern- ment is doing the very best for us they can in this food problem. It is a gigantic task for them and after all we have an abundance of things to eat. If you are a family who does not insist on sugar in tea, coffee and cereals, then I can assure you with careful planning you will have enough sugar for a reasonable amount of desserts in the simple category. I mean by this a simple. custard, maybe a junket, a little cocoa, or left over canned fruit in the bottom of your custard cup.

In speaking of the California fruits I did intent to mention the wonderful prunes I saw in the st'm os the other day. Did you know in California they rarely cook the prunes. Try placing them in an earthenware dish and cover with water. Allow them to stand over night and then' serve them without cooking. If. they are good prunes I think you will agree they are delicious and re- quire no extra sugar. Figs, too, may be cooked with- out adding extra sugar and un- less one insists on sweetness, which after all is not necessary, they will be found quite palatable without the sugar addition.

Submarine Travels Over 80,000 Mines The submarine Truant, one of the Royal Navy's most famed.1 undersea prowlers, is back home after two and a half years of hunting in which she was credited with sinking or damaging More than 20 axis ships and traveled more than 80,000 miles in the ' Mediterranean, the Indian Ocea and Java Sea. 1 months of activityin After 2 the Mediterranean the Truant went to the United States in May, ; 1941, for refitting, and was bolt s' on her old hunting .ground by s October. She was en route to Singapore when that base fell and went to Soerabaja, the Dutch East Indies naval base, instead. The.Truant operated with the Allies in the Southwest Pacific until the Indies fell and from there transferred to Colombo and hunted in the Malacca Straits from March to September this year. Among her exploits were a sur- face attack on an enemy harbor because it was too shallowto enter submerged, getting stuck on the bottom while, enemy destroy- ers steamed overhead, sinking two out of three ships in a Japanese convoy and running a gauntlet of Japanese .destroyers in her suc- cessful break from the East In- dies. : [-SOW TO .RELIEVE FILE -+®RTU E QUICKLY AND EASILY • If you ea'e troubled with Itching plies or rectal soreness, do not de- lay treatment and run the risk of letting this condition become chron- ic.
