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 visit in New
York. Lois meets her at the train
and on the way to the Carrnths'
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 Sill 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
con&des 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.
You but I'm not in love with you.
My mother says' that there are so
many difficult problems to face in
marriage that two people have to
be very deeply fn love, very neces-
sary to each other, or else they
could not face those problems to-
gether. 1 am glad that Millicent
cane back. I wanted her to. I'm
glad—for both of you."
Millicent said, "Katha, I'm sorry."
"It's all right. I had doubts about
your happiness. I haven't any now."
When she was walking away
from them, she heard Millicent say,
"Oh, Kemp, oh, darling, hold me!
I've been such a fool, such a child!"
She met Evelyn at the entrance
to the ballroom. Now she under-
stood Evelyn's uneasiness. No
doubt she had. called Connecticut
and until the last Millicent had re-
fused to come home.
"Millicent is back," Iiatha said.
"Did you know?"
Evelyn's eyes were wide. "Then
she did .,.01,I'm ,,."
"I left her and Kemp together.
They'll probably be together from
now on. I'ni. glad you called her. I
wanted it to be this way."
Evelyn flushed a little. Katha
was a darling and she'd been mis-
taken about her, had judged her
wrongly. But she had been mistak-
en about so many things... Eric.. .
It was odd how remote he seemed
now. All feeling for hien was gone
and a blessed relief from strain and
guilt had come to her. She didn't
have to lie to Richard any more.
And she and Lois were no longer
silent enemies.
Katha moved away slowly but
Evelyn's voice halted her. "I want-
ed
anted to tell you but I didn't see you
anywhere that — that B111 was
here. He .. , "
Bill was here! WAS here - . .
Katha turned on a high golden
heel. Her smoky eyes implored. Her
heart had ceased to beat at the
sound of his name.
He Was Here
Evelyn's eyes softened. She
spoke kindly. "He didn't stay, Ka-
tha. He was wearing street clothes
and he said he had to get a train.
I heard him ask somebody, Rex, I
think, where you were and Rex
said you were somewhere wtih
Kemp." Katha's stricken face
touched her. She loves Bill. Poor
child. Youth isu't everything, And
there's so much unhappiness in it,
so many doubts, disappointments,
insecurity , .. No, youth wasn't ev-
erything. Gently she said, "He'll
come back,"
But Katha said, "Yes, but not to
me --- I won't be here."
She bit into her lower lip to keep
it from trembling. She could not
permit herself to ery, she, the guest
of honor at this brilliant party . , .
Why had Bill come at all? To say
good-bye, to say, "It was swell to
know you, Katha, and if I ever get
to New Hampshire, 'I'll look you
up." But if she had seen him just
once more . If she had danced
with him just once more , . .
Rex Rallam, big and dark, came
up to her and smiled down at her.
"I've been looking all over for
you. What is this? You came with
Kemp and now he's with Millicent.
I just saw them out in the hall and
from what Isaw ,.."
"They are probably going to be
married,"
"Then you were, , .."
"Just, filling in."
"Oh, shall we dance? There isn't
much left of tonight. How about my
taking you home, Katha, since
Kemp is occupied?"
"It's nice of you. Thanks,"
"Bill was here. He was very
steamed up over something. Had a
train to get and not much time to
get it. Wanted to see you. Ile's
filthy with money since his uncle
died, you know. Probably finding it
quite 0 burden;" ] ' ';;ti, a• "May-
be be's running away from a girl."
"You Straightened It Out"
Lois came to [' alba o room the
following morning. Mr brown eyes
were shining,
'I wish you weren't ;ging home.
I've gotten used to you, Rath You
belong here." She curled up In the
big chair and smiled. "Terry is
coming tonight. Mother doesn't eb"
ject to him. I can't explain that!
He's coming tonight and we're hav-
ing lunch with Dad tomorrow, Ev-
erythi:•g is -- is beautiful, And you
CHAPTER XXI
It seemed that, Millicent came
suddenly out of nowhere. She was
wearing her mink coat over a black
dress and a small black hat with a
veil. She was quite breathless as if
she had been hurrying. The wind
had whipped color into her face.
Katha's surprise lasted only a
moment. Then she understood.
Kemp arose, "Why. Millicent!
What ... "
She did not look bored now, nor
spoiled, nor indifferent. Her lovely
blue eyes pleaded.
"I came back ... I Pushed back.
Mother told me to come! She said
it was my last chance with you .."
Kathy said, "Kemp has just been
asking me to marry him. You said
you didn't care any longer."
"But I do care! I cared then! I
cared — so much! Kemp, i — I.
was wrong about everything! I've
been unreasonable and jealous and
crazy. Oh, I thought it out. That's
all I've been doing — thinking it
out ever since I've been away! I
love you and I'll marry you tonight,
if you still want me, and go any-
where, anywhere with you • .. if I
am not too late. I won't be difficult
any more. I've been through such a
miserable time I've wanted to die.
If you'll just forgive me ... "
Kemp just looked at her.
Katha said, "I never took him
away from you. I never tried, Milli-
cent. I just happened to be here
and I wanted to make you jealous."
Millicent First
She smiled at Kemp who looked
very confused and embarrassed.
"Fou needn't be embarrassed,
Kemp, on my account. I've known
all the time that it was first Milli-
cent and then I. You tried so hard
to make yourself believe you had
gotten over her. You tried so hard
to make yourself believe you were
terribly in love with me — that I'd
be better for you than Millicent,
But you never really wanted any-
body else . • . "
"Kemp ... " Millicent said,
"Katha's been wonderful to nee,"
he said finally. "I'd rather marry
her than any one ... except you,
Millicent,"
He looked from Kathy, so vivid
in the crimson dress, to Millicent.
Hie black eyes softened, She was -
not as understanding or as sweet or
as generous as Kettle. But somehow
if her lacks had never mattered very
much to hint because he loved ]ler
so. They did not matter very much
now because he still lovedher, and
still wanted her. And though he
knew that Kathy would make hila a
better wife, it was Millicent that
he wanted to take back to Califor-
ia with him. In the tend, he thought
--- her Monde loveliness had defeat-
ed him. tie couldn't help himself.
"Except me, Kemp?" Millicent's
voice ehook. "You maali • . I'll go

a chance to say anything to him,"
Millicent and Evelyn knocked
and came in.
"Katha, must you go home to-
day?" Evelyn asked. "Militeent and
Kemp are going to be married on
Saturday!! Ever since she was alit-
tle girl I've dreamed of the wedding
I'd give her and now she's going to
be mauled without a trousseau!
But they can't wait. There's so very
much to be done I scarcely know
where to begin! When does your
train leave?"
"In half an hour. Lois is going to
the station with ine. 1'd like to
stay but I sent my mother a tele-
gram and she'll be expecting me."
Wearing the tailored black wool
dress she had worn the day she
reached New York, she stood in the
center of the room and said, "I'm
grateful for everything, I'll never
forget this month."
We've done very little for you•"
A Departure Alone
Lois went to her room to get her
hat and coat. Evelyn was summon-
ed to the telephone.
Millicent looked at Katha. "I do
want to tell you how ashamed I
am, how sorry . . I do want to
you to come out to California to
see us. I mean that, Katha. I like
you — very much. I'd like for us
to be good friends." Coming for-
ward, she held out a slender white
hand which Kathy took iuto her
own.
Evelyn cause back. "Gibson is
here with the car." She put her
arm around Iiatha. "Richard was
sorry he couldn't be here to say
good-bye. Give our love to Grace

chard comes north next summer, I

The snood, attached to the hat
and rimmed with flowers that

Patou's "Velvet fingers" to at-

out and looked at mother and
daughter and smiled at them. Eve-
lyn was smiling. There were tears
in Millicent's eyes. It was so dif-
ferent now...
Outside a light rain was falling.
She shivered and followed Lois to
the car. But she neither spoke nor
heeded the traffic during the drive
to the station. Nor did site glance
back. To look back would be to see
a hotel where she had danced and
been happy with Bill and where he
would dance again with another
girl and still another ..

arms around her and held her very
tightly.

Katha was alone except for the

RETAIN A YOUTHFUL
APPEARANCE
1 wrote last week on how to
take years off your looks, suggest-
ing various factors to look for.
Here are a few more pointers to
watch, because nothing is quite so
important to women as a youthful
appearance.
NECK AND CHIN. A double
chin adds years and years to our
ag•s! Often it is caused by slump-
ing, so keep your shoulders down,
head high and chin in. Try vigor-
ous slapping with the back of
your hand or a pad of cotton -wool
soaked in astringent. Necks are
frequently neglected, yet they
quickly age us. When creaming
your face, always extend the treat-
ment to your neck. Use a bleach
occasionally.
You can make this yourself by
pouring a tablespoon of milk of
magnesia into a saucer and stir-
ring in a teaspoonful of lemon
juice. Apply thickly over neck
(and face), leave on for 30 min-
utes, then wash off with tepid wa-
ter: Finally rinse with cold wa-
ter.
HANDS. To keep hands smooth
and white, apply hand lotion oft-
en and massage regularly with tis-
sue cream. The hands are in wa-
ter more than any other part of
the body, and as they have fewer
oil glands you must lubricate them
more. Wash only in lukewarm
water, and use Palmolive soap to
replace much-needed oil. In cold
weather rub them with vaseline
before venturing out.
BUST. Sagging breasts bespeak
age. Watch your posture; don't
slump or slouch. If your bust is
too small, massage with warm ol-
ive oil in an upward and outward
movement.

As
Plans To Penetrate Tribal Vill-
age Of Gra Rang Aborigine3
In China.
A tall, striki{igly bdautAul Canad-
ian girl, Miss Isobel Brown, will
trudge away from the outer fringes
of civilization, not far from the
western provincial capital of Cheng-
tit. She will make the first part of
the trip by bus, and the remainder
of the journey by foot. It will take
approximately three to five days
for her and her carriers to reach
the village where sbe will live for
the next six months.
Will Live With Natives
Miss Brown's trip is neither en-
tirely scientific nor entirely adven-
turous. She first became interested
in early -type civilization while slie
was studying at the University of
Toronto, where she majored in psy-
chology. When she returned to her
home in Chengtn last summer, she
explored the area, became acquaint-
ed with some of the tribal members
and then determined' to make a
thorough study of that type of life.
"I'nm not interested in any arch-
aeological study at all," she told
the United Press. "1 want to live
among them for six months to just
study their living habits, religion
and social life, also their customs
and taboos."
"1 don't like that `gimme some-
thing' business. Handouts are de-
moralizing, and right now we need
