Zurich Herald, 1939-02-09, Page 2Synopsis: At the invitation of her wealthy uncle, Richard Carruth, and Itis foster -daughter Lois, Katha Lodge )leaves her New Hampshire ham- let for a month's visit in New York. Lois meets her at the train and on the way to the Carrttthe 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 Ioves him. CHAPTER XX Evelyn hung up the receiver. She did not wait for Eric's reply. When she cane into the .street. she felt better than she had felt for years, Freedom . . . peace. Hailing a taxi, she thought, "Every- thing is going to be different from now ou. I'm not going to see peo- ple just because I should see them. I'm always hungry. I'm going to eat everything. I don't care it Ido get fat. Richard doesn't care. . . . At hone she found Iiatha star- ing at the newspaper she held in both hands. Evelyn's eyes fell on a headline: "George McMillen, finan- cier, dies." Never To See Him Agair, Lois gloried i11 the l +hag e in her mother. Katha was relieved. After the afternoon visit to the Floyds, Katha and Lois found Evelyn hav- ing breakfast. with Richard when they came in from riding. They did not know what had happened but whatever it was, Evelyn was neith- er sad nor bitter. Moreover, she looked healthier and happier and once again took an interest in her home. Evelyn took on a new and becoming dignity. Always, Lois told Katha, her mother had been the victim of "fad". Always Evelyn had been able to make herself be- lieve what she wanted to believe, everybody that it's fashionable- to live on a farm part of the year, that everybody's doing it! Have Ton noticed Dad? He's like a boy!" Katha was glad that IittIe was said of George McMillan's death. She had cried herself to sleep after reading of it in the paper. Bill wouldn't come back before she went home! She would never see him again! Bill, heir to millions, had other and more important things 011 leis mind that the Carruths' country cousin. The next day she had sent a telegrams of condolence, as dict Richard. That same night Kemp said, "Bill will be one of the most sought-after young men in the • cetintry. He'll have to take that trip around the world to escape am- bitious mothers with beautiful daughters!" Later he had said, "I'm still waiting. Katha. Don't make me turn on the pressure, my dear. We've just a week left, you know. New Hampshire is going to be very dull to you and California is going to be very empty for me— •without you. We could have such a swell time, darling." One morning she called Richard and asked him if she could have lunch with him. He said he would be delighted. At a little past one she was sit- ting opposite him, He chuckled. "I Itnow. You want to thank me for your visit. Katha, you've been a charming addition to our family: But more than that, I've been happy to see your friend- ship with Lois. Family ties should be stronger than they aee. Yon know, yon don't have to go back." 'Kemp doesn't want me to go back, Uncle Itieherd. i'm:•t consid- ering not going hone—to stay, that is." 'Why not? Why riot. starry Kemp? "I3ttt I don't want to talk about that nom;. I want t,o talk about Lola" He lifted his brews. '`Lois?" Planning a Party Looking at. hit 1 Steadily, she told him abottt Lnis and Terry Reese. Then- she said, "1 didn't 4'ant to interfere but how eonld you help them when ,ynu didn't. know? I've met hint and talked with him, He's sincere and find. Oh, 1 know they're youne but they ellotild 1.e allowed to r,.ce each other.

El stroked his .chin thoughtfully and said, ,'Since :'Lois is in love with 'mint and you approve of him, Iiatha; he must be all right. i'1] tell you what we'll do, I talked to Evelyn last night about giving yott a party the night before you leave - .. ," "Will Evelyn. •" "Approve of this young man? Of course, my clear! Your Aunt Eve- lyn isn't a snob, She's cultivates' important people for my sake only. I'll tell her about this Terry and she can send him tut invitation, You get his address out of Lois but we won't tell her he's been in- vited. Then I can look him over." His mouth pulled at one corner, "Katha," he went on after a pause, "I want my family to be happy. That's my chief concern. I'm not going to turn matchmaker for Lois and this proud boy but if he's a nice chap and they're really in love, I'll do everything I can to help them," he smiled. ' My mother and your grandmother, Katha, was a great little lady. She believed in the Golden Rule. Site taught me to live by it and you, too, I'll bet. You see," he laughed quietly, "I have considerable sympathy for young lovers. Evelyn's mother told her I'd never amount to anthiug, Now our marriage can be an example to our children." She nodded. How sweet and con- fident was innocence. She did not want a party, Bill would not be there so soon after his uncle's death. A party without Bill ... . A room filled with people but emp- ty for her because he wasn't there . A farewell party indeed, Fare- well to love. .. Richard smiled. "Feeling better with. Lois' problem off your chest? Won't she be surprised when Terry Reese walks in!" "He may not come," "Of course he'll conte. Now 1iatlta thougld tl '''QQ3I'd have been horrified at flet," :secret meetings' in the park with a poor, unknown stu- dent. She was afraid,;;you'd send her away, She hatea scenes. The Lasting Kind Evelyn said; "I think we should', at least, meet him and permit itint to conte to the house," That had been Richard's suggestion, "If you - tell a girl she positively catt.'t see a certain boy, he's the very boy she will do anything to see," Taking a deep breath, she looked . away tllouglitfuily. Last night slie, had, been surprised at herself, for not 'being horrified when Richard said with an amused smile, "Lois 'hag been putting one over on us. She's in love. Don't be hard on her, dart• ing. Remember—us." Katha said, "I like Terry 'very much." I hope he'll come, I'm sure that Richard will be able to do some- thing for him — place him when he's through college, perhaps. Of course it may not last ... "I think it will, Katha smiled. "It Is very kind of you and Uncle Rich- ard to give me this party," Evelyn lifted her eyes again. Ka- tha was lovely. She had to admit that. So slim and straight, her jet black hair and beautiful eyesand expressive mouth. Katha asked, "Is Millicent coni- - ing home?' Evelyn's look was direct and hole- est. "I think not. It would be awk ward and embarrassing for her." ICatha's look was equally as dir- ect and honest. She flushed a little angrily and said, "I didn't take Kemp away from her! He loved het —adored her! He still does, I think. I just happened to be here and we got along nicely, You've held that against me but I don't de- serve it. Now Kemp wants to marry me." She moved away toward the door and her voice broke when she said, "I saw Kemp because- I thought it might make Millicent jealous, so jealous that she would do anything to get him back.

She'd conte back and fight for him." Katha took a deep breath. "About Kenip—I don't know. Really I don't. Sometimes I drink i will." The next day she casually asked Lois where Terry lived, and that aft.em'noon. when Lois went out, she went to Evelyn's room and found her sitting at the desk. Looking up, Evelyn said, "Conte in. dear. I'm making out the list for your party. Is there any one." "I don't know anyone iu Nr'iv York except the. people I've met here. I calve to tell you where Ter- ry Reese lives. I suppose Itnrle Richard. ..." • Evelyn sighed. It was a sigh of submission. ''Yes, he told ate.

He sat down and opened it, Bills for necessities. A cheerful letter from a friend in Vir- ginia. An invitation to a lecture. Then he opened a square white en- velope that held the invitation to the dance Mr. and Mrs. Richard Carruth were giving for their niece, Katha Lodge, in the private ball- - room of a large ]motel.

Moreover, to see the luxury surrounding Lois would .-deepen his depression. Two differ- ent worlds they lived in, two worlds that could never merge. As he crumpled the invitation in his hand and dropped it into the basket beside the desk, he thought, "j'd like to tell Katha I appreciate =,this gesture. But I don't suppose 'l] ever see her again." The day before the dance Katha ;.went to Lois' room. ''I know you don't go to many parties but you are eomiug to mine, aren't you? and," smiling, "the poor relation has to borrow another dress. Kemp has seiy clothes so many times. Lois grinned. "I'll come because it's your party but I know I won't have a good time. I never do. You may wear my new red dress. The .skirt is all little pleats. It's the brightest thing I've ever sen." Katha said, "Bill likes black but — but Bill won't be there." "Is there anything you want me' to tell hint when I see him again? He'll be around. All that money is not going to make any difference to Bill." Katha bit into her lip. "Tell him I hope he has a good time on his trip around the world. Don't ever tell him I love him.

We refer to the wife, mother, housekeeper, of the home. Some idea of the physical and mental work the homemaker has to cover in a flay is outlined by Lou Tre- goning in an article entiled "Out- witting Homemakers' Fatigue" in Hygeia. Overfatigue is one of the homemaker's worst enemies. Follow A "System" After outlining the work to be done each day, as "system" pre- vents confusion and confusion brings on fatigue sooner, some of the suggestions to outwit fatigue are: 1. Rest an hour or at least half an hour each day depending on the ,number of members in the family and your general health. 2. Are you of normal weight? If underweight and tire easily, eat a light lunch between meals and a hot food at this time when doing 'heavier work, 3. Remember that stair climbing ,uses up fifteen times as much en- ergy.,,as walking. 4. Too much light (glare) and too little; light (eyestrain) can bring on fatigue early. 5'; Have good shoes and a good bed.;you are in one or the other twenty-four horn's a day. • 6. Good daily bowel movements will' help outwit fatigue. Establish a 'daily habit. Include two veget- ables and two fruits in the day's diet. NT 0 BABY at Teeth incg Time?

Josue No. 6—'39 D TO AVOID SKIN BLEMISHES Skin blemishes are a tragedy to women. In addition to spoiling our beauty, they create a feeling of in- feriority. Yet, in most cases, they can be avoided, or at least quickly eradicated. Cleanliness is the basic remedy —both internal and external, In• ternal cleanliness is essential to a clear skin. If the system is disor• ganized, it quickly makes its marls on the slain, so don't neglect the simple precautions that ensure in- ternal cleanliness. Make it a habit to take a dash of fruit salt in a glass of water every morning. External cleanliness calls for fre- quent washing. Sounds simple, yet so many women misconstrue it. Cream cleansing is not a substitute for washing. It is necessary to cleanse the skin with cream quite often, but soap and water should be used frequently, too. Washing the face tends to re- move some of the oils that are in- herent in the skin, so I advise the use of a palmolive soap, because it contains' lubricating oils and thus actually .helps the skin. 'Readers constantly write for' ad- vice about removing blackheads, so I am repeating the treatment. Stir h wasli._Ilin a.ffeo ad.parts tb,orr oughly with palmolive soap and water, then cover the area with a towel wrung out in hot water, or steam the face over a basin of hot water, to open the pores. Soften your finger-tips with lit- tle pads of cotton -wool and gently squeeze out the blackheads, Change the wool pads often, because they become infected. Sterilize the parts with alotion of peroxide and hot water. Write for confidential advice in your personal beauty problems.
