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 XVII At cocktail time in a large and fashionable hotel Katha sat next to Kemp and with thoughtful eyes watched the people who were dancing. Bill had been gone for days and her only news of him had been the brief 'telegram, tell- ing her that his uncle was ill. Since then an aching futility had possessed her. And it was to es- ea.pe that and to escape thoughts of Bill and memories of him that she had seen Kemp each time he phoned her. They had gone to parties and to the theatre. They bad danced mane- nights away. Millicent was still in Connecti- cut. One morning. Richard had said to Katha, "Evelyn tells me that Millicent and Kemp have quarreled and that she's hiding out until he goes home. Well per- haps it wasn't as serious as they thought. When she meets the right man for her, there won't be any of this nonsense." He had smiled across the table at her. "But be eareful, my dear, of catching a man on the rebound. It's fatal, usually. But who am 1 to talk about modern romance?" He'd laughed. "I've had only one ro- mance—Evele-n's and mine." Kemp's voice was close and deep. "Katba„ you're so far away from me. -Come back. Your thoughts . ." . She turned her head in the small back hat and looked at him. He smiled.. "'When you look at me like that . . ." "Like what, Kemp?" "Marry Me" He leaned closer. "As if you're comparing me with somebody else. Is there a boy at home who cau- tioned you about city slickers? Or is it—Bill? I can't tell you any- thing about the boy at home be- cause I don't know him but I can tell you of it's Bill it's no good. You can lead him to water but he won't go in. When his un- cle passes on, he'd probably taku that trip around the world he's been talking about, 1 know him." She lowereol her lashes so that he could not see thd hurt in her eye S. "1 know that, Kemp." He put his hand over hers and said, "Katha, look at me. I'm go- ing back soon. We've had fun, haven't we? Never a dull moment, never nn unlinpay moment. I'm crazy about yest. lt'e ell pretty sudden after Millicent and me but —but will you marry to and go back with mo?" She stopped heating the mesic. "You're not in love with me, Kemp." "Perhaps I'm not ---the way I was with Millicent. But we're hap- py together, yon and I. We don't quarrel. We don't claeh. And you're such a lovely port*n to look at, Katha, to he with, to talk to, and the way your trind works I know of :general euceessful marriages where the people were not madly in love when they mar- ried. I'd rather be with you than with any of the other girlI know. And I'd be goodand faithful. You see, 1 don't want to lose you. You've become important to me." She smiled kindly et him. "Pin • flattered but I --I can't, Kemp. I'd rather be madly in love in the beginning OV(Ill if it didn't last. Thehmost important, thing that ever happens to a girl is falling in love and mtting married. She dreams about it from childhood. won't have les than what I dreamed ahont.

Why must he alweye remind her 'that to 13i11 wr jut "al -tether girl" he had known briefly and liked? "You Can't Go Back" Kemp locked her lingere in hie. "How can you go back to Antall- town life after this? You'll never be content latek there. Wirt, you've hit the high spots in the biggest city in the world. You've seen the fun and beauty that money can buy. Can you go back? I say you can't—and be happy." "1 can and I must," I could have gone back and left.this with- out a single regret if I had not met 33111, she thought. New York is important to me only because he was here with me. , . He smiled, "Ratite, • Ihn not a villain trying to get you by paint- ing pretty pictures to you or try- ing to disgust you with your for- mer life. That's too absurd. I'm a man who adores you not blindly as I did Millicent but with my eyes wide open. 1 couldn't ;See Millic- ent on my ranch. But I can see you. Won't you then, at least, tell me you know I'm sincere." "1 believe you." "That's better. A. little of the stone wall yields . Easing The Hurt She looked at her fingers lock- ed tightly in his then up at his tanned, handsome face. She liked him, had Jilted him from the be- gnning. It was simple enough to understand why Millicent loved him. Like Richard, Kemp was sin- cere and kind and honest. "Think about it," he said. "It's great out there. You'd love it. But Katha, think mostly that I'd be verygood to You, always. So good you'd never regret having forfeited a little of the glory." When he saw tears in her eyes, he said: "Let's dance. And I'd rather dance with you than any other girl I know." Except Millicent, he thought, rising, and taking Katha close. Except Millieent . . . . In nearly every man's life there was a girl he couldn't "get". And next to her there was one he could "get", a girl who in the end made him grateful and glad fax his choice. In his life it was Katha who had eased the hurt. He said, "You might miss the snows of New Hampshire for a while but then you'd begin to boast about the California sun - back and Fay what my heart cried out to you to say hi the Station: • that night We heard "I love you" in a thousand rongs at the places. we went but you never said it, Yon never said it "Afraid To Ask 1-lim" . • • Erie sat beside Evelyn who was driving the gray coupe down e, narrow street dim in winter twi-. light. It had begun to 8110v and already there wee a light, white coverlet on the street. In a timid voice she said, "You've been very quiet this af- ternoon. I'm sure Kitty and all the others thought we'd been quar- reling. Are you worried about something, Eric?" His eyes lighted angrily, "Don't try to be sweet. You know what's"' the matter with me. You haven't asked Richard about a divorce. You're afraid to ask him. You haven't the courage, You. . ." She bit into her lip. "I couldn't when he's been, away and just get. back." He had brought her the. diamond and emerald bracelet.... for being' good, he'd said, laughing and kissing her. How happy he had been the morning he brought. it to her! His happiness in giVing. was greater than hers in reedy» ing, she thought. It had always been like that. Since that man-- ing, she had lived in torment and. though several times she had tried to speak, to tell hint, the words would not come, would not let themselves be spoken. "Eric, Millicent has been so un- happy and. . ." He spoke sharply. "That's just an excuse. If she and Kemp had- n't quarreled, she'd have married him and gone off to California with him. She wouldn't have con- sidered you. Whose life are you living, theirs or yours? And what about me?" And because his tene derness never failed to stir and_ soften her, he said, "Evelyn, -tell: him tonight. Darling, you're pun- ishing both of us. Give me your promiseyou'll tell him tonight." Tell Richard tonight . . .. Look into his face and say, "I want a. divorce. I want to be free to live my own life." But not mention Erie. . . . Erie said gently, "Evelyn, I know it will be bad for a little while. All these things are.

Her tears would not let her see. Kemp, asking her to marry him Funny, that the man to whom Evelyn was willing to give her only child, now had asked her, Kant, the country cousin, the poor relation, to marry him. And if it had not been for Bill, big, bronze -haired Bill 1\1c21illan, who had kissed her and gone away.... Suddenly Kemp was happy. Of eourse this was the better way! It; was far more sensible to mar- ry Katha than Richard Careuth"e, spoiled, arrogant, snobbish daugh- ter! And he thought of all the things about Millicent of which he disapproved. There was nothing about Katha of wide]) he did not wholly approve. Lovely, charm- ing, and intelligent, she would be liked by everyone. What did it matter if he had written he was going to marry Millicent Carruth? Men changed their minds.

The compulsory labor year now applies to all unmarried girls be- tween 18 and 25 years of age except those phyeleally incapacitat- ed.

Husband Gives Helpful Hints IE You Watch and Listen You Can Learn Valuable Tricks From Him on Grooming Your husband can give you lots of helpful hints on grooming, if you'll let him. He can tell you, fax instance, that the rubbing alcohol be uses after shaving is an excellent skin tonic. He can point out that shoe socks protect women's shoes—especially seldom -used evening shoes or sum- mer shoes—just as well as they do men's. Other things you might learn from hubby if you listen and watch are: The petroleum jelly he uses on his hair—and you borrow to make your eyelashes glisten—is an ex- cellent protection against rust. So, before you put your cuticle scis- sors or nippers up on the bath- room shelf, rub a little of it over the cutting edges.

Quality' Gives Fir your The Secrets Good Looks y YOUR BEAUTY IN THE BALANCE Last week's article suggested a Beauty Stocktaking., and this week we will consider a few other points of beauty that need .to be weighed. •• How is your figure? Is it youthful and supple, or is it inclined to sag In parts? Spend a few minutes daily on limbering anti stretching exercises to keep the body pliant. If you need to reduce in parts, yon must obtain a reducing cream and massage it in, And you also need special exercises. I can tell you a lot more about these if you will write .me. If you are considerably oven weight, of course there is nothing for it but a period of dieting and exercise. Don't worry about weight tables, though. Ask yourself wheth- er you're feeling tit and looking well. If your answers aro satsifac- tory to yourself, you can afford to laugh at weight tables! Do not overlook your hair and hands. Dull, lifeless hair needs a good vaseline hair tonic to bring back its -lustre. Once a week bare a shampoo; you will find a mulsif- led cocoanut oil shampoo that will thoroughly cleanse the hair of all grease and dust that accumulates so rapidly. Nothing takes the place of constant brushing, however, so ply your hair brushes religiously every day. Are your hands coarse and red- dish? 'Use a hand lotion often. When my hands are inclined to chap around the backs of the fin- gers and knuckles, I rub a little iypsyl salve on :thorn and it is vorY comforting.
