CHAPTER X
Janet's Stock Is Down
Janet left Mr. Bryant's office,
hardly able to grasp the dimen-
sions of the disaster that had over-
taken her.
This quarter, it seemed, the A
and S stock her father had left
her, for years considered among
the most reliable in the financial
world, instead of paying the gen-
erous dividend on which she had
learned to depend, had declared
only a small fraction of it.
"Of course, it's bound to come
back," Mr. Bryant reassured Jan-
et, "when the general business
picture clears up. But all that
may take time; and it is even pos-
sible that the next dividend may
be passed entirely."
In the meantime, it appeared,
there was enough money in an
emergency fund to pay Janet's im-
. mediate bills; and there were
enough government bonds and
other safe securities to furnish
her with what Mr.- Bryant play.

Pin money! Janet thought with
bitter amusement:
• "However," Mr. Bryant said as
she got up to go, "it isn't so seri-
ous a calamity as it might be.
You are marrying a successful
young man. I ale sure that Mr.
Barstow is resourcefeul enough to
be able to arrange some way of
financing your house."
"Of course," Janet said stoutly..

"It was all my idea in the first
place—.my making the payments,
I mean."
Disturbing Rumours.
The luncheon at Sylvia Grant's
was an utter nightmare. There
was a vacant chair where Cynthia
was to have sat. Cylvia explained
that Cyn had telephoned that
morning to say that she and Mr.
Benton were taking the noon plane
to New York, and •of course she
couldn't conte.
When Janet went in, Leslie,
Pugh was saying, "Well, Cynthia
doesn't let any grass grow under
her feet. She's hardly known
Timothy Benton a 'month. I sup-
pose she just couldn't bear to see
cousin Janet—oh, hello, Janet!
How sweet you're looking!"
Sylvia, seeing that Janet had
heard, put in lightly, "For that
matter, Janet isn't so slow, her-
self. Look at the way she grab-
bed Lance off right under Cyn-
thia's nose."
"The way I — what?" Janet
gasped.
"Do you mean to say you never
heard that Lance and Cyn were
thicker than thieves when you
came home and walked off with
him?" Leslie demanded.
Janet said, "Don't be funny!"
And then stood for a moment,
very still with the memory of
Cynthia's stormy eyes when she
had cried last night, "Why you
little fool, you don't imagine it
was Barney I wanted, do you?"
Some on asked, "And what
about Barney McKnight?"
"Oh, Barney just happened to
be in the way and caught Cyn on
the bounce. You can't tell me that
either of them took that very se-
riously," Sylvia said.
Leslie Pugh observed, fitting a
cigarette into a jade holder, "Well,
if you ask me, Cynthia's done the
smart thing. Here Timothy Ben -
ton's been back in circulation for
over a year, and it never occurred
to any of the rest of us that he
.was to be had. At least, Cynthia
will have a roof this winter."
Then they were talking about
spine one—Janet didn't hear who
—who had "lost his shirt" in the
stock market that week; and she
remembered again that she would
have to tell Lance about the pay-
ments on the house at supper that
evening.
Lance Blames Bryant
She had not intended to tell him
until after they had eaten; but he
opened the subject of the house al-
most immediately.
When she had told him every-
thing—even about Aunt Mary's •
trust fund, he said, his face very
white, "But, Janet, I don't under-
stand. I always thought your
money was—that is, do you mean,
darling, that you have—nothing
left?"
"Practically, Lance—in compa
rison with what we counted on."
"That pian Bryant ought to be
prosecuted."
"It isn't Mr. Bryant's fault,
Lance. Father bought that .stock.
Every one has always supposed it
was fool -proof.... And this sort
of thing has been happening to
people all around us lately."
"Don't I know it? We lost two
big contracts today for that very
reason — customers playing the
market. But there should have
been some way to avoid this.'.'
"Eat your dinner, Lance. Your
steak will be ]"mined,"
"1—somehow I don't feel very
hungry."
In some indefinable way he was
making her feel as if that were
all her fault. . Janet wasn't
very hungry, either, but she said
with a laugh, "Nevertheless, you
are short-sighted to waste such a
good filet. If this sort • of thing
keeps on, we may wake up sorne
day and find ourselves glad to dine
on sinkers and coffee."
Iai a moment now Lance would
be laughing, too—his usual while-
sitsal, .humorous self. You could
itlways depend on Lance's sense of
Humor.... But he burst out irrit-
ably, "For God's sake, Jan, don't
talk like that!"
"Why not? T think it's rather
stimulating to toy with the idea
that we might be worse off."
Lance Trys TO Control Himself
Whop he did not speak, but con-
tinued to sit, brooding over his
untouched dinner, Janet went on,
hesitating a little, "Lance, on the
way down X thought of something
that might solve the difficulty for
awhile. Aunt Mary isn't so lard
hit as I MD. All she needs, really,
is a little help to be able to stay
tit the Breekeriridge. What T have
left will bo practically enough for
that. We had planned to go to
the hotel till the house Was finish-
ed, anyhow. Why can't we just
take nay room and Cynthia's •and
split expenses with Aunt Mary?
We'd save a lot that way. Then
you could go on paying for the
house just as you planned before
you got your cut."
He was looking at her as if he
hardly heard her—as if, deep with-
in himself. he was busy with his
own rapid thoughts.
In a moment, however, he rous-
ed himself.
"And where would that leave as
when the house was finished?" he
demanded impatiently. "Exactly
where we are now."
"But I thought -well, I thought
that then Aunt Mary night conte
with us."
Aunt Mary would, she knew,
however hardily she had protested
the day before, if she knew her
doing so would help.
"There are those two big guest
rooms and bath -of course I could
not have her crowded, Lance; she
loves her things about her.";
"But, Janet darling"—he was
obviously trying to control himself
now, to be patient with her—"you
know we'll have to do a lot of en-
tertaining: I don't want to work
for Hallowell and Benton forever.
When the right kind of people see
that house — live in the guest
rooms over week-ends—they're go-
ing to see that they just have to
have something like it. . . You
don't understand these things,
darling,' but an architect has to ad=
vertise if he ever expects to get
anywhere on his own."
"Advertise?" Janet said faintly.
Was that why Lance had
planned the white house with such
loving care—as an advertisement?
She had thought it was for her.
Lance was going on, his eyes
carefully following a pattern he
wet tracing with a fork, "There's
something I haven't told you yet. •
Janet."

Pot Holders and Dish Cloth
By CAROL AIMES
Hand made dish cloths and pot
holders, are the simplest of crochet
jobs and can be created for virtu-
ally nothing in expenditure. The
waffle stitch holder is finished with
a contrasting shell . pattern. The
block pattern holder is edged in
the same way. •
To order this design, write your
airtime, address and number 942
distinctly on a piece of paper and
send with 1.5 cents in coin or
stamps to Carol Aimes, Room 421,

Hay Hints
If you've put away some heavy
winter shoes, here's a method of
keeping thein soft for next season.
Wash them in warm, soapy water,
(use a cloth so that you don't get
the shoes too wet) rinse in clean
water, then rub castor oil well
into thein. Wrap in newspaper
and in the autumn you can give
them a good polish and find them
stili flexible.

When glass gets broken be par-
ticularly careful about picking up
the pieces. 11 damp cloth will
take them up, or on linoleum cr
wood a cloth well moistened with
floor polish. Use an old cloth thea
can be immediately destroyed.

Remember to clean your foun-
tain pen at regular intervals. If
it takes t0 pieces, leave to soak in
vinegar and water, or else 1111 and
empty several times in vinegar and
water, and wipe the nib carefully
before re -filling with ink.

Rub copper with a lemon cut in
half and dipped in salt. This will
remove tarnish marks and make
the metal bright. To keep clean,
wipe over with a very little olive
oil immediately after polishing
with a dry, soft duster.

An old broom can be converted
into a useful floor -polisher. Cut
away the old hairs that still re-
main and bind several pieces of
old cloth round the broom -head.
Finally, cover it with an old piece
of velvet and fasten into place
with headed nails. This makes a
labor-saving floor -polisher.

Here is an easy and speedy way
of cleaning inside of silver teapot
without hard scouring. Put a
large handful of soda into the pot,
fill with boiling water, and let
stand for some time until the
water is quite cold. Pour away
the water, and the inside of the
pot will then be quite clean un-
less the tannin is of long stand-
ing; in that case repeat with a
second dose. Rinse thoroughly
with clean water before using.

' When you are having potatoes
for camping meals or on hiking
expeditions you must think of
ahem as nourishment as well as
merely part of a meal.
To get the full value of potatoes
they should not be peeled, but kept
as far as possible ,in their jackets
for most methods of cooking, ex-
cepet for chips`or for salads.
'In camp they should be stored
by being placed on wooden bars or
sticks to let the air circulate
around thein If cooked on the
previous day they should be placed
Neel scone ,jar for keeping. . .. ,,,,

If ink is spilt on a carpet or
rug, bring to the scene at once a
bottle of vinegar and a supply of
fresh blotting paper. Pour vine-
gar on to the ink with as little de-
lay as possible, then mop up the
ink and the vinegar together with
as many sheets of blotting paper
ao niay be required. You will find
that all the ink will be drawn out
of the carpet or rug along with
the vinegar.

Jelly should always be allowed
to, get cool (though not set) before
pouring into the mold. If it is
molded when too hot it is liable to
become cloudy and may prove dif-
ficult to turn out.

If. you just catch the vegetable
before it has actually burned and
it is a bit scorched, plunge the
container in which it has been
cooking into a ear of cold water.
Allow it to stand a few minutes.
Remove vegetable, being careful
not to take up any of the scorch-
ed part that clings to the pan.

When one experiences trouble
in the raising and lowering of the
windows, try rubbing a bit of pa-
raffin' on the window ropes, and
considerable improvement will be
noted.

South Seas Motif
Seen On Beaches
Barbaric Jewellry To Wear
With Gaudy Gay Rags
Printed cottons and linens and
rayons in exotic designs of the
flora and fauna of the South Seas,
in the most vivid colorings, are
used for beach frocks, for shorts,
for coolie jackets, and full blouses
worn with wide slacks (that just
escape being a divided skirt) in a
bright, plain color or in the shades
of beach sand • or lava dust. The
same gay printed designs are also
seen in full -skirted day and even-
ing Browns.
Barbaric accessories — necklaces
• and bracelets of sea shells, shark's
teeth, wooden beads, tarnished
brass and copper; wide belts of the
crudest embroidery, round beach
baskets of woven reeds with sand-
als to match; wide -brimmed hats
with spindly steeple -crowns on the
round "coolie" shapes with a knot
of seaweed on the top — add to the
Tahitian atmosphere of the French
seaside resorts.
Plain or printed cottons, linens,
and shantungs have supplanted the
silk materials for the country frock,
Full skirts, wasp -waists and little,
short, puffed sleeves characterize
these, costumes and when one adds
a wide•brimmed hat of Linen, pique
or straw, with a bright ribbon tied
around the crown with "streamers"
at the back, the effect is decidedly
testive.
The value of Canada's gold
production in 1938 was equal to
51 per cent. of the total value of
all metals and 37 per cent. of the
total value of the entire output of
the Canadian mineral industry.
