BY ELINORE COWAN STONE CAST OF CHARACTERS JANET DWIGHT, heroine, She was engaged to handsome young architect LANCE BARSTOW, hero; Lance had great •dreams for the fu- ture. So did CYNTHIA C.ANTRELL, orphaned oranc'daughter of great-aunt Mary Cantrell. Still another dreamer was BARNEY McKNIGHT, newspaper. mar. But Barney was more than a dreamer. Yesterday: Janet looks back on her engagement to Lance Barstow. As she is packing some of her hope chest gifts, Cynthia comes in, asks her unexpectedly if Lance has called yet! Afraid of Being Poor Janet said after an incredulous silence, "You don't mean that you —won't marry Barney . because you're afraid of being poor, Cyn?" "Why not? Oh, it's all every well for you to be noble, Jan! You're sure of being able' to war ringless silk stockings if you never get married." Janet glanced toward Aunt Mary for moral support, but the tald lady went placidly on with her stitch - Jug, only the straight line of her mouth offering any index to her feelings, Involuntarily Janet's thoughts ran hack to the evening when she first told Aunt Mary and Cynthia of her own engagement to Lance Barstow. She had told them while the three women were finishing their dinner in the candlelit, ivory - paneled dining room of the charm- ing apartment they shared. lu the pause that followed, Cyn- tha had set down her coffee cup with exaggerated precision, moist- ened her lips, and said, "Quick work, Jan! I seem to have under- estimated my little cousin." Janet, You're Lucky Even while Janet had wondered vaguely why she had never noticed before how candle light sharpened the contrast between the rouge on. Cynthia's high cheek bones and the clear pallor of her skin, her cous- in had risen abruptly, and with a curt, "Sorry I haven't time now to tell you just how lucky I think you are, Jan, I have a date this even- ing." vening." went swiftly out of the room. Janet had followed her exit with hurt, bewildered eyes. Then she turned to her aunt. "'You're glad . for me, anyhow, aren't you, -Aunt Mary?" she ask- ed. Aunt, Mary had opened her lips as if to speak, closed them tightly, eandesaid,•-"ehope.yottewell-esevery..•..- happy, my dear. He is a—a most engaging young man." "And you do think I'm right— even4r I have known him only six months," Jaletliad persisted, hard- ly understanding why site pressed the point. Again Aunt Mary had closet) her lips firmly before she spoke. Tben she put one thin old hand over the girl's clasped hands and said quiet- ly, "My dear, it isn't advice you want from me. You've made up your own mind, And if theres any- thing I've learned in 76 years, it is that people have to make their own decisions and live their own lives. No one can do it for them:", Now, glancing at the old lady, Janet thought, That's what she's `thinking now --that' C}ynth"ia has to live her own life. And I suppose she's right. ••'` Aloud she said to her cousin, who had gone to tile' window and stood, apparently absorbed in the spectacle.' of theraat'euue below, "Of course, Cyn, it's really not my af- fair after all. And it isn't as if you were the kind who falls in love with, a n,lan:jtist-liecall.0 heii,alfes her but` tb lunch," "Exactly." There was a jeering note in Cynthia's slow, drawling v o i c e. "What a comforting thought!" Then 'suddenly the mocking eyes ,clouded, and the phase of Cynthia that showed sometimes in her brooding mouth spoke almost harsh- ly, "I've .sometimes thought it might be deucedly convenient if I could.e A •)chock sounded at Janet's door, and Margy, the maid/Peered inside to say, "it's tbat newspaper report- er or Miss Cynthia's. Pfa wants to CHAPTER II Still deliberately avoiding jan- et's troubled eyes, Cynthia turned to Mss. Cantrell. "Sorry to have passed you and Jan tip for lunch, Grams," she said. "I met a friend at Kiegler's while I was checking up on the flowers for the bridesmaid's party. He staked me to food at the Iro- quois Club. Still concerned with her own bewilderment, Janes asked absent- ly, "Who was it, Cyn?" Cynthia hesitated an almost im- perceptible instant beforet she blurted out half defiantly, Timo- thy Benton." Timothy Benton was junior partner of the firm of Hallowell and'°13enton for which Lance work- ed. Older Than You "Why, .Cyiithia," Janet cried, "I didn't know you even knew him And you really oughtn't. Lance says She broyc off, uncertain how to go on under Cynthia's revel, mock- ing gIang», "Hes vultat?"-C>rithix clialle3lg'- :. ed:• She was a slight, Clark -haired girl, with carefully amused violet eyes in a pale, heart -shaped face which tapered to a chin at once too sensitive and too defiant, and a mouth whose vulnerable curve belied the cynicism of the eyes. "Well," Janet said, "to begin with, lie's years older than you."' "But still able to totter about, and terribly amusing." "The two wives who divorced him didn't •seem to find hint so amusing." "But aren't you forgetting, nay dear?" Cynthia drawled. "I'm not his wife. If he wants me to play with him, he has to be amusing," "What does Barney, McI night think about your' running around with Mr. Benton? I mean—" Janet stopped, wishing she had not begun as Cynthia's face went sud- denly tight. "Barney."Cynthia said dryly, "has stopped caring to amuse the himself since. he has found out that I have nd idea of getting married on a sports repor'ter's ,salary in these expensive tinges."

They generally were the kind any average young woman in this country might find in her own wardrobe.

Pearls, Furs And Parasols Pearls, furs and parasols all had their place in the royal wardrobe.. The Queen's use of these acces- sories may influence Canadian fa- shions, Pearls probably will be worn more frequently since Her Majesty rarely was seen without two or three strings. While Canada's well- dressed woman favor fur iu jacket form or as a neclt-piece, Queen El- izabeth used it to trim her cuffs and band her hem or in collar ef- fect.

Become Souvenirs Floral Gifts Presented. .to Her, Majesty Were 'Snaptied Up. Across the Country— Called "Royal Flowers" What happened to the Queen's flowers, the many bouquets she was presented with during the roy- al sojourn in Canada? Well, there was the stalwart Quebec policeman who, after a day spent helping to guard their majesties, took off his hat to wipe a damp brow. A small handful of petals fluttered down. These. he explained, were "roy- al" petals to be taken home to his children. Dozens of bouquets—most of the Queen across Canada and liter- ally thousands of flowers were used to decorate the rooms, and tables where the Royal couple had luncheon or dinner, To Canadians these were "Royal flowers.'- , Petty Fraud Practised Some of the bouquets were pre- sented to hospitals. Others were used in various cars of the Royal train. Others just disappeared. It seems certain that consider- able -petty fraud has been.practised by loyal citizens, who like to add precious posies to the pressed E10 % ..r ers in, family bibles. Many of them are using "Royal" flower's that were uo part of_the Queen's bouquet. Prom Quebec to Victoria and back, Her Majesty received more than 50 bouquets, mostly orchids, In some Prairie towns they were simply roses and lily -of -the -valley, the small bell-shaped flower that is her favorite.
