She was engaged to handsome young architect LANCE BARSTOW, hero. Lance had great dreams for the fu- ture. So did CYNTHIA CANTRELL, orphaned Granddaughter of great-aunt Mary Cantrell. Still another dreamer was BARNEY McKNIGHT, newspaper. moan. But Barney was more than a dreamer. Last Wrek: Janet meets an old amara in the park who tells her Haat Lance had offered to build Hann house on his lot if the affair could he handled quietly. CHAPTER XIV Janet wondered for a moment if this weren't all some grotesque dream. She had to steady her quivering lips before she could answer, "Why—he wanted to sell you the house without the knowl- edge of his firm, I suppose." "So I gathered. . . . Now my problem is this: I want that house a lot. I'm not under any obliga- tion to Hallowell and Benton. I've already paid them for any services they had rendered. But—now you look like a smart young woman— would it be your opinion that a man who was disloyal to one em- ployer would be any more straight- forward in dealing with another?" "No," Janet said, very low. "I'm afraid it wouldn't . . . Not with—any one." "Well, that's just about what I decided.... But I did want that house." He .glanced toward the white house across the ravine. "I don't suppose," he said re - reflectively, "that that one is for sale." "I—really, I don't know," mur- mured Janet. After all, did she? Could she be sure of anything after this? She got up slowly. "I think I'll have to be running Wong now." "I'm afraid I've been boring you," he said, smiling up at her. "But sometimes talking things out to someone else helps you to come to a decision .... My dear young lady, you look ill. I hope you haven't over -tired yourself. I have a car right out by the gate. If—" "Thank you," Janet said hastily, "but I'm all right. Anyhow, I Bye just around the corner." He Has Failed At first Janet thought that she could not go to the party that night—that it would be impossible to appear with Lance, laughing and acting as if her world had not fallen to pieces. But soon all the legend that her love had built up about Lance sprang to his de- fense. Whatever he had tried to do, he had attempted for her. . . Be- sides, he had failed. And having seen the coo] scorn in the old man's eyes that afternoon, Janet had a feeling that before the nat- ter was ended, Lance would be made to understand just why he had failed. . . He must have been too desperate to understand exactly what he was doing, or he would never have tried. Before it was time to dress for Leslie's dinner dance, Janet had almost persuaded herself that this was true. The sea -green gown with the jacket of sequins was delivered -late that afternoon. Janet decided that she might as well wear it. There was nothing like a sense of being beautifully dressed to bol- ster up one's morale. Besides, she thought a little bitterly, the sea -green gown would be entirely out of style before she needed a trousseau. A Friendly Bear Cynthia and Timothy Benton had just arrived, and were stand- ing in the lobby of the hotel where Leslie was giving her party when Lance and Janet went in. Timothy Benton was rather overpowering in evening dress. He was, Janet thought, as Lance had said, so ugly he was almost handsome. He carried himself with' the easy poise of an athlete; but his voice, when Cynthia in- troduced him to Janet, was just a shade too loud, his manner a shade too hearty for perfect ease. There was something about him that reminded Janet of a great frindly bear not entirely sure of his welcome. When he made,;,a boistrous joke about their being 'cousins now, Janet saw Lance's' left eyebrow lift" ever so wearily. Lance, who had been trained in an expensive tchnical school and in Paris, and who had been taken into the business as the son of one of Mr. Hallowell's best friends, had always been humorously con- temptuous of the self-made young- er partner. Cynthia's Evening Then Timothy Benton turned to Cynthia, and at something in his eyes, Janet's breath caught. Why, he's really in love, with her, she thought. This wasn't just a fly-by-night marriage with him. He looks—kind; and Cyn's just using him. It isn't fair. Cynthia, in ivory satin and old gold ornaments. was more radiant than Janet had ever seen her. In fact, from the beginning it was really Cynthia's evening.... Not that Janet cared about that. What she cared about really was that nothing in her own world was quite the same tonight as it had been only a week before. She wondered a little blankly if she ever should get it all back again— that sense of security and that clear confidence in the integrity and kindness of the world about hear. It was during the first dance after dinner that Lance said, very casually, "Oh, about the old boy I was drawing the plans for, Jan— 1 heardjust awhile ago that his wife died suddenly in the hospital early this evening. An unexpect- ed heart attack.Rotten luck!" "Oh, the poor old dear! Janet cried, remembering the old'. gen- tleman's eyes when he had awoken that afternoon of the walks he and his wife used to take in the wood. Barney McKnight was there, --- very long and lanky—and tousle headed even in the formality of tails. He was conspicuously arzn- ed with a huge notebook and, pen- cil, with which he gravely' :pretend- ed to make copious notes for the morning society page. "Put me down for ern-iine an emeralds, Barney," Sylvia Gran called, dancing by in rose taffeta "And don't forget my diamo stomacher," Leslie laughed. "You Made Your Choice." Janet had hardly had time for a private word with Cynthia. Late in the evening, coming from the powder room, she saw her cousin alone through the French doors that opened on a veranda, ar. turned to follow. It was dark on the veranda; lint rounding a corner, Janet made out the glimmer of Cynthia's satin gown against a stone balustrade. She was about to call her name when she realized that Cyntl was not, after all, alone. Out of the darkness Cynthia's drawl rose, clear and scornful. "Don't you think it would be brighter," Cynthia was saying, "if you'd stop poking around in the dead ashes? After all, it is a little late in the year, isn't it? And—it may be hard for you to understand this — suddenly it makes so little difference to me What you think about me." Oh, Barney! Janet thought im- patiently. How can you make a doormat of yourself? It isn't like you. Then all of a sudden she under- stood that it wasn't Barney Cyn- thia was speakin to .... Barney was much taller than the figure that stood, half in shadow, at Cyn- thia's shoulder. "But, Cynthia," a man's voice said, "how could you do this in- sane thing? 've been half wild ever since I saw those headlines. . Cyn, you've always been the only one really. You must know )1 "I do seem to remember having heard that once—long ago." Cyn- thia's low voice stung like a avhip. "But that was before Jan came home, with her stocks and bonds and that look of a sweet, kind, brave little girl: . Yeti made your choice then, Lance. Well, I've made mine. And. I hope to God I'll manage to . be a better lesport about it . thanyou've. been, Janet fled down the dark ver- anda. Stumbling over a chair leg, she plunged forward against a tall figure which had just stepped out from a doorway. (To Be Continued) Stout Women Can Be Dressed Well Clothes Need Not Be Uninter- esting If she's large, the smart woman wears black and other dark colors a great deal. But she knows the difference between being conser- vatively dressed, uninterestingly so. Her black frocks are enlivened by touches of frosty white. Her costume jewelry is imaginative. Her hats are a 'charming medium between extreme and conservative. She realizes that a Iarge figure generally looks silly in ultra-high, very slender heels. If her upper arms are rather on the plump side, you don't catch her in evening gowns with narrow shoulder straps. She manages to find formal dresses with shoulder and sleeve treatments which ]ride the excess Poundage. : Canadian families enjoy eating delicious, crunchy, nutty -flavored Shredded Wheat, regularly, every day.

New Textures Are Appealing Interior Decoration Has Def- inite Place In The Arts The new fabrics for interior dec- oration are so exciting, so lovely and so varied that homemakers will not only want to redecorate every room in the house, but will find themselves in a state of happy uncertainty regarding the embar- rassment of riches from which to choose. Of exceptional beauty and dis- tinction are the new cottons, spun rayons and combinations of these two fibres; .not to mention the lin- ens and =chairs, which are wov- en with a new and different ap- pearance. These are good looking, suitable for either period of mod- ern interiors and not too expens- ive. Rough, irregular textures with definite but subtle surface inter- est, resembling hand -loomed fab- rics and hand crocheted -type cot- tons, appear in an infinite variety of weaves and patterns. Dull and bright yarns are interlaced, chen- ille is effectively used in velvety contrast to gleaning spun rayon or soft, 'dull textured cotton grounds. Fringe steps into the pic- ture with spectacular results and some of the new fabrics have all- over fringed surfaces. Swag treat- ments reatments in which closely -woven fab- ric bands alternate with wide in- terwoven fibres in festoon effect offer endless decorative possibil- ities. Prints are new looking and striking on rough texture's. Certain Styles Flattering To Older :'ornan Long Sleeves, High Necks, Back Fullness Subtly Achieved In this season of bustles and the wasp waists, a mature woman can- not be too careful. For bustles em- phasize that part of the anatomy a full blown woman wants to mini- Mize, and as for wasp waists — well, just try making yourself tiny there after all these years. Rich, Subdued Colors But there are certain features of the new dresses which tend to flatter the woman of maturity. The long sleeves and high necks are kind to older figures. ltich, sub- dued colors of the fruit family, like plum, and blackberry and grape, have dignity as well as youthful- ness. Massive necklaces and gold ornaments can be well carried by the larger figure. And trimming, Akin it is usually scoll braid, matching lace or a working of the identical fabric; gives flattery, but is not too much for the bodice to carry. Y3ack fullness in women's dresses is 'usually slimly achieved by in- verted pleats or gores.

And keyed to vanity as the most of us women are, we were flattered with the pretty picture of our dainty feet, so we wore weird contraptions on our pedal extremi- ties that' may have caused no harm and little discomfort depending on the strength of bones and muscles and just how much activity we took on. Back In the days when the Vic- torian frock was the theme song of our grandmothers, they tell us that women wore a much smaller shoe than her athletic sister does today. But in recent years• we have managed to get the shoe designers interested in our needs, ,And the result is a splendid assortment of footwear to aid athletic prowess and walking grace: . ' Now with clothes reverting back to the style of our grandmother's day perhaps patterned on more conservative lines, the question of footwear comes up again. The new fall shoes will fit like a glove. Whether you wear a 9 or a size 4 B the lines are breezy and graceful. There are definite after- noon types as well as morning and formal styles. F.C. Girl Wants To Train Filers Vancouver -Born Aviatrix With 1,200 Hours in the Air Vol- unteers Services Helen Harrison, who has a head of unruly light brown curls and 1,20 flying hours to her credit, is willing to train aviators to serve in the war.

' Your C,, riage Is I poift r.nt Holes En Tummy If You Want To Wear New Styles It is not less boring to be told as an adult how "to carry yourself" than it is, as an adolescent — nor are youngsters plagued nowadays to "stand up." Anyway, we have to say it: attention must be given to a new posture or carriage so that the flat stomach that makes the bustle profile look right, can be achieved. It takes a little concen- tration, if you've been comfortably or stylishly slouchy, though that sort of thing has been in the dis- eard this many a season. Control by the Corset However, for those who have not quite the spine, figuratively or actually, to put the stomach in its place or out of sight really, corsets are going to come to the rescue in heroic fashion. It is unquestionab- ly important — this flat stomach — for, whether skirts are promin- ently bustled or moderately full at back only --- the smooth front, par- ticularly over the tummy area, is vital.
