Synopsis: At the invitation of her wealthy uncle, Richard Carruth, and his foster -daughter Lois, Katha Lodge leaves her New Hampshire ham- let for a month's vision New York. Lois meets her at the train and on the way to the Carruths' Park Avenue penthouse warns her to call her aunt Evelyn, not Aunt Evelyn. Katha is interested of course in Kemp Loring as Lois had told her she'd better not look at Kemp twice or Evelyn's daughter Millicent would have her claws out. And Bill McMillan—she likes him. Her Uncle Richard arrives, late in the afternoon and greets her sincerely. Millicent goes out with Kemp. Early next day Bill phones Katha, making a date for evening. Lois explains Evelyn's nervousness by saying she happen- ed upon Eric Carlton and Evelyn while he was kissing her. Lois confides that she loves Terry Reese a college student with little money whom she met while horseback rid- ing in the park. Bill takes Katha out for two evenings together. He kisses her the second night. She knows now she loves him. CHAPTER XV Katha awoke with a start. She had promised. to go riding in the park with Lois but Lois had not called her. Late already, she lay 'pack against the satin -covered pil- lows and took a deep breath. 13111 had gone to Asheville last night. Why had he gone? If he cared, he'd have stayed to be near her. If he had cared, he'd have been too jealous of hemp to go away. But Bill wasn't jealous because he didn't care — enough. Katha thought, "Anel I care so much and always shall." Not long after she was riding in the park, looking for Lois. When elle saw a lean. brown -clad figure on a brown mare approaching her, she knew it was Terry Reese. "Hello. You're Terry," she said. Terry grinned and took off his fiat. "You're Baths, Lois' cousin." "I'm looking for her. Have you seen her?" And when he said he had not, she said, "Well, let's look for her together." They rode side by side. At last Terry said, "You don't live here, do you?" Looking For Lois "No. I'm from a little town in New Hampshire. Richar_ct Carruth is my mother's brother." She smil- ed at him, "Richard Carruth is a eelf-atade man. Did you know that? And one of the finest men in the world. Lois isn't his child. Did yon know that?" He frowned. "She isn't ... "They adopted her. Her father was a foreman in one of Uncle Richard's plants. He was . killed when Lois was two. Her mother died shortly before that." • "I didn't know that," Terry said. "She didn't tell me," "You wouldn't let her tell you. You wouldn't let her tell you any- thing after she said she was Rich- ard Carruth's daughter. That scar- ed you away because you thought she was a social butterfly having a little romantic fling and a little romantic fun at a poor student's ,e;PPnae; didn't you, Terry? It isn't that way at all. Lois doesn't go in for parties and drinking and a',ser- ies of men. And she's very un- happy—about you." "You Wouldn't Let Her" His smile was twisted. "I can't keep up with the Carruths. I am nothing. I have nothing—except my ambition." Color mounted to his face. "Do you think it's been easy for me—falling in love with a girl I can't see, can't meet on the same ground, can't take out, a girl whose ' home I can't go to? And I haven't been able to get her out of my mind. It's pretty lonely, living the way T've been living, in one room, grabbing meals between classes, sometimes not eating at all."

It's no use, Yon can see that. And I don't want to hurt her. I wouldn't hurt her for anything In the world. She'd better forget all about me," "She. can't. There are some peo- ple, you see, for whom second choice won't do at all. Lois is like that. She found everything she wanted here in this park when she met and talked to you, Falling in love is very simple. But falling out of love isn't." Falling in love with Bill had been so simple. , . , A Bitter Smite Terry said, "I think you're swell to take the trouble to explain ," Katha said, "I love Lois. I care what happens to her. And she's in love with you. Somewhere now she's in this park, looking for you." He lowered his eyes. "I can't see her. It makes it worse when I see her. What would her father think? His smile„ twisted again . . . "I'm turning back. Don't tell her you saw me. I'm not turning back be- cause I'm a coward. What business have I to be in love with Richard Carruth's daughter? If I saw her very much, I'd want to marry her. What have I to offer her when I can scarcely keep myself?" Katha said, "Terry, you are throwing away what yon will never find again." His smile was bitter now. ' That's right, But what can I do about it?" After he turned back, she found Lois but she did not tell her that she bad seen Terry. Lois said, "He isn't here today, Katha. What am I going to do? Dad and Mother have given me ev- erything. I'm very grateful. But I want to be happy in my heart and in my mind. The things that money can. buy give you a thrill but it's' only a temporary one. I could have a lot of dates and go to parties and have men make love to me. I don't want those things. I don't want ex- ,„perienees and thrills. I want to be with Terry." "I know," Katha said. "And Bill went away last night." How sorry she felt for herself! "We had a perfect evening. It was probably our last. He won't remember to come back before I go home. I wish. I'd never come. If I hadn't, I probably would have married one of. the boys at home and I'd never have known there was a Bill Mc- Millan in the .world. Lois, like you anis Terry, BilI and I belong. But Bill doesn't know it. He never will. You stumble over a great happiness and get up and go your way and never once look back to see what you stumbled over. "And Kemp?" She nodded. "I'm going to a party with him tonight. He'll close his eyes and try to think I'ni as desirable to him as Millicent, But I won't pretend. 1'11 know he isn't Bill. With him I don't have that feeling of belonging." CHAPTER XVI Richard was dividing his atten- tions between his breakfast and the newspaper when they came in. "Here's a telegram for you, Ka- tha," She picked it up with suddenly shaking hands. Was it a summons from hone? But it read "Found my Uncle very ill Stop will be delay- ed." It was signed, "BILL". Looking at Lois' and. Richard's anxious faces, she read it to them. Richard said, "That's too bad. But George McMillan is a very old man. If he dies, Bi11 will cone in- to his vast fortune. That's a tre- mendous amount of money to fall into the hands of a boy." Katha stood still with the tele- gram unsteady in her hand, think- ing, "How silly I am to hope that Bill, who will be one of the richest men in the country, will want to marry me!" A Bracelet For Evelyn Smiling, Richard drew a velvet box from his pocket and opened it. It held a diamond and emerald bracelet. "Beautiful, isn't it? For Evelyn. A sort of home -coming gift. As long as we've been married, I've always brought her something each time I've been away, even if it were only over -night. For being good, I always tell her. She adores diam- ouds. I'm going to awaken her and give it to her now," Lois lowered her thick dark lashes. She could not look at him. K.atha crushed the telegram in her hand, thinking of 13111 far away, thinking of young Terry ]Leese who had ridden atva3', thinking of k ve- lyn's hushed voice when she had spoken tenderly, passionately to Eric, She thought, "I'm afraid now, too, For all of us! We're all caught and we can't get out! 'We can't get out!" Ebbing Strength 7n a hotel room in Asheville. Bill sot beside his Uncle's bed and looked with hurt, stricken eyes at.. the old man's thin, wrinkled face. George McMillan had been talk- ing for a long time and speech had ebbed his tittle remaining strength, inhaling deeply on a cigarette Bill said, "You should have told me that yen lost nearly all your money, Uncle 'George. I had no „way 'of knowing," The old man smiled. ";here was time enough for yon to work. I wanted you to have the fun I die, n't have when I was young. That'b why I didn't tell you. 1 know yon had good stuff in you and that in time you'd settle down and make a name for yourself; that it would». n't matter a great deal ii I had 111- tie to leave you. I •fooled thein all, didn't I? But you've been a ,good investment, Bili, the best I've ever made. I'm proud of you, You've never done anything for which I had to apologize, What I gave you never turned your head." Ile smiled again very feebly. "Now tell -mo," "Why I came down?" Katha's oval face, her smoky eyes, heir cloud of dark hair rose up before him. "To tell you I've met a girl I want to marry, if she'll have me, and that 'I'm going to accept Coop er's offer and go to work." "That's line, boy," George Mc- Millan said and drifted into sleep, Proud Of Him Bill arose and went to the win- dow. His face was grim. >Te thought "I want Katie." He want- ed her nearness, her soothing Spice, her cool, soft hand for comfort, In trouble men, both strong and Weak, turo to women, Bill thought, Uncle: George, the only relative he had ever known, was going to die. He .. couldn't hold on much longer: And when everything was over, he Bill, would have to be assured of his job with Cooper before he went back to Katha. He wouldn't be Bill McMillan, sportsman, when he went back to New York again. He'd be rather a poor young man with his hurt eased out of his heart by his love, a young man about to begin his life and career and determined to make a success of both not only for himself but for an old man who had lived and died proud of him and for a girl who must be proud of him, too.

Young mothers often lack buoyant health because their blood is not red enough Food ex- perts now believe that young wom- en should cat at least as much iron -rich food as men eat, even though the women weigh less. Try More Leafy Vegetables In general, says Professor Haz- el Hauck of the New York State College of Home Economics, Ith- ace, the low-cost iron foods are all the leafy vegetables from kale to turnip, green peas and lima beans, and whole grain cereals. Liver and other meat organs, egg yolk, all lean meat and shell- fish rate as good blood builders, ;she paints out. Although fruits as a group are not high in iron, dried fruits may contribute appre- ciable amounts. Bathing Suits Go Very Fancy • NEW YORK. — Bathing suits (not, of course, swim suits) are `very, fancy this season, trimmed with • smocking, ruffles, bows. • They are all elasticized and in mentioning materials this fact is taken for granted. Consequently, they are form -fitting above, but the newest are swing -skirted, like a skating dress. Dirndl skirts are also numerous but not so novel. -,Satin, lustred silk, moire, shark- skin and rayon jersey are favor- • ite materials. Colors never before used on the beach have supplant- ed the staples, and one sees lime, chartreuse, canary, light porcelain - blue, American Beauty red, shock- ing pink, fuchsia, coral, not only in dressmaker suits for beach par- ade, but also in swim suits.

People should prepare for sleep by ridding themselves as far .as possible of all contractions and ten- sions. Rest is more important than sleep, If we have to have one or the other it is better to rest without sleep than to sleep without rest. "Insomnia is largely due to the fear of not sleeping," said the auth- ority, "whereas if you make up your mind to rest and give up the idea of sleep, you will be asleep in a short while."

A study of the more than 40,- 000 0;000 cases of illness involved has revealed that ailments of the resp- iratory system — such as colds, Iaryngitis, influenza, bronchitis and tonsilitis — were responsible for, by far, the greater part of this ex- penditure. • If the experience of this comp- any is to be taken as a criterion, the 7 simple rules for good health during wintertime — about which Bell employees were reminded re- cently—should be of general inter- est. They follow:. 1. Keep room temperature around 72 degrees. 2. Keep air moist — fill radiator pans with water regularly. 3. Sleep with windows open, but keep out of drafts. 4. Keep fresh fruits and vege- tables on your daily menu. 5. Wear enough clothing when outdoors -- not too nnich when in- side. G. Avoid going out into the cold when you are perspiring. 7.

Roosevelt blames general apathy of women for the numerical decrease In wo- men Iegislators and congress -wo- men, in the U. S. The same holds true of the Canadian political pic- ture. There are plenty of capable wo- men to hold legislative positions, Mrs. Roosevelt told her press con- ference one day last week. The big trouble is, she said, women as a whole do not back feminine candi- dates. As soon as women generally de• mend representation of their point of view, Mrs. Roosevelt said, they will find plenty of women to run for office.
