She was engaged to handsome young architect LANCE BARSTOW, hero. Lance had great dreams for the future. So did CYNTHIA. CANTRELL, or- phaned grandaughter of great - moat Mary Cantrell. Still another dreamer was BARNEY hf.cKNIGHT, news.. paperiuhan. But Barney was more than a dreamer. Yesterday: Lance tells Janet iff he can /and a new client he has In mind the wedding might not be postponed so long. He will call her. But she waits in vain that might for a call= CHAPTER XIII When Lance carne to the house next evening, he seemed absent- minded and excited. Janet asked, a little breathlessly, "Did the old gentleman like the plans, Lancee?" And he answered, after a brief hesitation: "Well, he did, and he didn't. That is, he liked the house a lot, but it didn't seem to fit any of the sites he'd been looking at." Strangely he did not seem in the least perturbed, although or- dinarily he , was sulky if clients were not immediately enthusias- tic about his work. And it was strange, too, Janet thought, that after that subject was exhausted,. they seemed to have so little to talk about. Here- tofore they had been so full of their plans. -the -progress of the_ house, the tricky,, tile mosaic e logga:,e best kind of shrubs, bulbs and perennials for the terrace below it. Eventually Lance yawned and suggested a moving picture; and Janet, feeling somehow terribly lonely, got her hat and coat and went out with him. During that week except for one or two times when they went to parties together, Janet sdw less of hien than she had during any other week since shel had known him, In spite of his insis- tence that they ought to be seen often together in public, the thought sometimes occurred to Janet—although she determined- ly beat it down that he seemed to find very little reaeon for being alone with her. A Walt hi the Park Barney McKnight lounged in once or twice in his casual, loose- jointed way, raiding the ice box for what Aunt Mary called "pieces," and making the old lady giggle like a girl. He turned up the night before they moved in- to the smaller apartment, and taking off his coat, helped to pack some of the lighter things Aunt Mary was putting into storage. Lance had sent word that he had to work that night. On the day before Leslie Pugh's dinner, Janet put on an old brown tweed suit and a soft hat, wrapped a bright green scarf about her throat, and went for a long walk in the park. The "park" was hardly a park at all in the formal sense •of the word; but a large tract of wood- land which had been deeded to the city with the stipulation that it be kept strictly in a state of nature. Although the autumn should. have been in its first glory, recent winds and rains had beaten down much of its fire. Only occasional brave patches .of crimson and gold and mahogany stood out among the "stark•' gray and black of bare Brills ,and :branches and. the somber green of junipers and rhododendrons. Company Janet swung briskly along, making a circuit of the trails she liked best, until she found herself back at the bench on which she had sat with Lance the day he had told her about his salary cut. Now a .Ione figure sat on the bench—a small, rather crumpled old man, with a tired face and drooping shoulders, a cane be- tween his knees. When he glanced up at Janet, however, she saw that his gray eyes, like Aunt Mary's eyes, were keen . and live. A half dozen squirrels were grouped about him, and he was feeding them nuts from a paper bag on the bench beside hin'i. Janet slackened her'_ gait for fear of frightening the squirrels away, and the old man smiled up into her glowing face. "Does hie good to see a young creature swinging along that way," he said, "Most of 'em now- adays dawdle as if they were afraid of lifting their feet . Have a peanut?" :Janet: laughed and took one, and when rpee veleta hateate sat down beside him, noticing as she did so a roll of blueprint that protruded from his coat pocket. "My wife and I used to walk Jike that down here years ago— when this city was a pup," the old man said; and suddenly his bright eyes were very gentle. "Now, I just cone here to sit sometimes. It's the only place I knew where people who want something from you never think of looking for you." "I like to sit here sometimes, too," Janet volunteered. "It's so —so restful." - "Didn't know young people ever thought of resting. They seem al- ways to be ruilling around in cars from where they are to where they ain't." The .Empty Hillside Now that the foliage was less dense, the white house on the op- posite hill side stood out in all its beautiful symmetry across • a ra- vine ruddy and gold with 'fallen leaves. Janet looked over toward it a little 'wistfully. The old gen- tleman followed the direction of her glance, and observed, "Nice location over there, isn't it?" "I like it," Janet said. "What do you think of the house?" "Looks as if Jt had grown there. Just the way a house should look. As a matter of fact, young lady, when you came along, I was sitting here, admir- ing that land over there and wrestling against my better judg- ment like Jacob against the ang- el." "You didn't look it. You seemed absolutely wrapped up in letting the squirrels. pick your pocket "Hm!Well, there aro squirrels and squirrels --most of 'enl try- ing to pick somebody's pocket. At least these are open and above- board about it. . , . T have a plan for a house that would be ideal for that empty hillside, I'd like to have a house built from that plan," Janet sat very still, a little pre- monitory bell ringing in the back of her mind. "Like to see the plan?" he ask- ed. He took the blueprint from his left pocket and spread it out be- fore her. A Young Architect "It would be charming," Janet said after a moment. �. She had learned something about architectural drawing from Lance, and knew that it would be. "Exactly. . When I decided that I wanted a new house, I went to a well-known firm of engin- eers. They turned me over to ''a young architect they told me was. their best man. He showed mo several sets of drawings—none of which I cared for. When I told. Mr. Hallowell— "Mr.—who ?" 'The Dead of the firm—after I'd told him I guessed I'd better" try somewhere else, and had gone away, this . young n'ian of theirs, eam to me privately with this. It was exactly .what I wanted. He knew all along it would be. . You see this plan is perfect for that site because it was drawn to tit it by the pian who owns those lots over there. Of course he didn't tell me just that, but I get about a little." Janet said, "Oh!" Very. softly. "He told me he had drawn it on his own time—that he would be glad to do a littte work on the side until he got well enough es- tablished to go into business for himself, and that he could get me exactly the lots I needed if we could manage the whole thing quietly. . , . Now, just what should you gather he meant by that?" - (To Be Continued) "Give and Take" Rule For Home Fort Erie Police Chief and His Wife • Observe Silver Wedding and ` Reveal Secret of Happy Marriage The secret of a happy married life, as my 'wife and•Ihave known a'"" " �et tri e s ittar"'a'" t° it"g"" and fake," commented Port -Erie% comparatively youthful police chief, Andrew E. Griffin. The chief and Mrs. Griffin observed their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary recently. Chief Griffin, who in his capacity as head of the constabulary there, has personally amicably settled numerous differences among resi- dents and kept many cases out of court, and whose wise counsel, to many errant youths, has returned them to safer paths, is but 45 years old. "When I said married couples should learn to give and take, I should have added a qualification that oftimes both think they are doing all the giving and the other all the taking, but you'll find my rules will work out prety well, any- way," he said. Giving Cheeks Natural Bloom Learn to apply rouge a dot at a time, blending one dot care- fully before adding another. The system of applying a lavish quant- ity, then removing the excess with cleansing tissues, not only wastes rouge, blit hakes it ex- tremely difficult to know just. how much of the color is rouge and how much is natural caused by the rubbing with tissues. Generally speaking, it is a mis- take ever to blend rouge below an imaginary line from tip of nose to bottom of ear. If the up- per part of your face is narrow, don't put color too near your nose. Regardless of the size and shape of your face, always blend rouge lightly upward toward eyes to avoid a white streaked appear- ance between them and rouged chceks, Never put a dot of color on your chin and, except for even- ing, better not tint ears, either, PraCtical Slip Covelrs. We all find it hard to keep chintz or cretonne slip covers looking nice.

E'or the Cogswell chairs the wash cloths are large enough for tho arms. Besides being bright and cheerful, they have the added attraction of being economical and practical. They can be putin the washing machine, dried, and are then rea- dy for duty, without having to be ironed.

Dinner Salad As The French Use It In the household of a profes- sional man a green salad always forms part of the evening meal and is dressed at table by the fa- ther of the family. The green salad, lettuce, en- dive, or whatever may be in sea- son, is prepared in the kitchen be- fore dinner and brought in in the salad bowl and placed before the father of the family, together with cruets of oil and vinegar, pepper and salt. He takes the salad spoon and puts in it one saltspoon of salt and half of pepper, and on this'' pours a tablespoon of oil, mixing it with the salad fork and pour-: ing the mixture all over the salad. He then adds three more table- spoons oil to theesalad and tosses the whole lightly, lastly adding a tablespoon of sharp vinegar, toss- ing the salad again and then serv- ing it. The addition of a little chopped chervil and some chopped chives Is an improvement, and two table- spoots of salad 011 may be added to the original one, instead of three .

Lind- sley, of New York, an ' eminent specialist, halt found that babies begin to think at the age of three months. Before that the brain recordings show either a complete absence of• electrical activity of the brain or small jrossly irregular beta waves oscillating at the rate of from 25 to 40 per second, Occasionally a single wave of alpha magnitude ap- pears in ,infants, under three months of age but rhythmic freq- uency of alpha waves (visible evi- dence of the .brain thinking) does not' appear with the third month. Since infants begin to perceive ob- jects and follow them with their eyes at about this same age, it is quite evident that the human brain awakens to functional activity at t1i ee months. They're Actually Waves What happens after that? Dr, Lindsleyhas found that the pat- tern of the • alpha waves (thinking niaves) . improves Vii^• frequency, eam- p•itude, and'rhytkni with age, until the adult level is reached 'at eight to ten years. Por some reason the frequency • s increased "Ovr the adult leveler ' ` doming thee- ten 'to twelve age •period.

A somewhat dis.concerting dis- covery, $O far' as men are concern- ed, is that women think faster than men, says Dr. Edward Pod- olsky, writing in the "American Quarterly. Review," The principal criteria in judging the functional activity of the •brain by means of its electrical effects are (1) the frequency; (2) amplitude; and (3) the rhythm of the brain waves that appear on the film.
