CHAPTER X II
To Katha the journey was uunnd-
deitg. A man and woman across the
aisle chattered constantly. A child
wailed Katha stared out the win-
Opper, cerin;;' nothing, Afterward she
'remembered nothing of the journey
except her thoughts, the most des-
peiring, hilpeless thoughts of her
existence.
1'or comfort she tried to think of
her -family. She had giftsr them
all; a bridge set and a p1
of
:costume jewellery for her mother,
a muffler for her father who would
tprobabiy say it was too gay for hint
'but wear it anyway because she'd
given it to him, and au assortment
of inexpensive toys and games for
the twins, Jack and Jill. They
would be so happy to see her and
she would say to her mother when
they were alone. "Uncle Rich trd

It would be
home. Oh, but would it, could it be
the same for her? Bill had spoiled
her. Feelings for Bill had taken her
to the highest heights she had
ever reached. Suddenly she felt all
weak and aching. You could fight
illness and tragedy with strength
and courage, she thought. But
you could not fight against a love
that had you shackled. You -had no
weapons, no defense ... Never see
Bill again, never hear him speak,
and call her name, never feel her-
self enclosed in his arms She
thought, "I can't bear iti" But she
knew that somehow she had to
bear it .. .
It was dusk when the train. stop-
ped briefly at the familiar little
station. And the mist had changed
to a light snow when she stepped
from the train onto the platform.
Alone ... still alone, There was no
one to meet her.
Worried because she had been
certain either her father or mother
,could be there, she left her three
bags, went into the station, smiled
a: the station master's weather-bea-
- ten face, and telephoned her home,.
"This is Katha."
Grace Lodge cried, "Oh, my dear,
I've been delayed! We intended to.

Tack fell out of the apple tree and

"Bill, thick my family is here.

again, not -quickly at all, he said,
smiling. "Let's. It's great to have a

She broke away from him and
slipped her hand in his and said,
"our hands like this for always, Bill

They smiled at each other and

PERFUME STRESSES
PERSONALITY
Perfume has been called the
royal road to Glamour. It gives
pleasure to the wearer (and those
around), and it also gives you a
potent "lift."
Perfume is most enchanting
when it suggests its presence in a
subtle and unobtrusive way, and
the secret is to scatter many light
applications, instead of one heavy
application in one place.
Start with your lingerie; spray
your undergarments after laun-
dering, because the scent lingers.
And so with your dresses. Spray
it :.n hour or two before wearing.
When you're dressed, add a drop
or two, if you desire.
It was the fashion in Elizabeth-
an days to wear perfumed gloves,
and smart moderns follow suit. A
mere drop on gloves will leave'
your hands fragrant. And don't
despise a hint of perfume on your
hair. You can add a few drops in
the last rinse, after washing the
hair.
What perfume should you use?
Get one with a well-known name;
it is cheaper in the end.
In selecting a perfume, you
should strive either to express.
your own personality, or the per-
sonality Tot desire. For instance,
if you are shy, you can use a flow-
ery fragrance like "Jasmine de
course" or "le nouveau Garden-
ia"; but to make the people you
meet sit up and notice yen, try a
stimulating perfume like "1'Ai-
mant" (the magnet).

She thought so many women
lead "an insipid, meaningless life,"
and urged young women students
of today to see that their abilities
are put into action.
Filling Society's Need
"We need more women who are
conscious of society's need which
bas to be filled. Women today
must be resolved to support and
give a lending hand to other wo-
men We must be willing to suf-
fer," she declared.
"Madame Curie is a lasting in-
spiration for women today to get
busy and achieve something," she
said, "We must have the ability
to stand slander and downright in-
iquity by women. Flow bitter and
long the road was for Madame
Curie and yet she relieved the dif-
ficulties of thousands of suffering
people."
Mustn't Curl Hair
