was engaged to handsome young
architect
LANCE 13ARSTOW, hero. Lance
had great dreams for the fu -
tura, So did
CIINTH1A CANTRELL, orphaned
granuid'augleter off great-aunt
Mary Cantrell. Still another
dreamer was
BARNEY MCKNIGHT, newspaper-
man, But Barney was more
Ikon a drearier.
Last week: Janet. and Lance
1'sree.k up over the verandah hind -
dent. The next night Cynthia
tomes quietly into Janet's room
saying "there's something I got to
Halle to you about."
CHAPTER XVI
For a moment Janet thought
that Cynthia Inust have seen her
en the hotel verandah last night,
and come to talk to her about
that.
But Cynthia began abruptly,
twisting her gloves between her
slim fingers, "It's about the house,
/an. It's lovely, of course, but I
shouldn't want it if I weren't sure
it was all right with you."
"The house?" Janet echoed
vaguely.
"Tim called me at noon, and
said Lance was willing to sell it
to hint. . . Tim wants to go to
housekeeping, you know. Isn't
t lat'quaint? And—but, ,Tan, you
don't, mean Lance didn't mention
it to you first?"• -
"There's ate -reeanso: why~ he
should," Janet said. "Yon see,
that wasn't a rposeponement par-
ty' last night, Cyn. Lance and I
are not going to he married at
til"
erS,o.. that's why Aunt Mary
looked as if she'd just swallowed
kite cream," Cynthia said after a
silence that Jan thought 'would
nevem end. "I wonder --- Jan,
should you inind telling me why
the engagement was broken?"
"Oh," Janet said, evading Cyn-
thia's direct violet gaze, "because
txf this and that, .. , Getting mar-
ried to Lance just began to seem
--not such a good idea, after all."
"You've Found Out"
But Cynthia, the gloves she had
been playing with suddenly very
still in her hands, said with one
of her strange flashes of intuition,
"So you've found out, too—how
little he really matters, I mean.
Oh, Jan! . . And it hurts ter-
ribly, doesn't it? I thought, just
at first, that it must be worse than
seeing someone die. ...But how
did you—Janet, it wasn't you—on
the hotel porch last night, was it?
I heard someone running."
"Yes," Janet admitted, simply.
";C was looking for you, Cyn. I—
I went away as soon as I could."
To Have The White House
"Pin sorry, Jan --- truly 1 ain."
Cynthia spoke with a simple sin-
cerity seldom used. "I would
have done anything to keep you
front hearing. The only reason he
thinks he Wants Ilse is because --
someone else has me."
"Don't worry, Cyn. There were
other reasons—more than you can
pees. And now that I've had
time to think, I'm =- well, not
exactly cheering about it, of
course; but 'since the break was
bound to come, I'm glad it hap-
pened before it was too late,"
Cynthia said, "Janet, I think P11
tell Tim I don't want the house."
"No, please, Cyn. It doesn't
mean anything to me now, really.
It's just—pari of something' that's
behind Inc."
"You're sure?"
"Please believe nte, Cyn, I am."
"Well, then," Cynthia stood up
--"I promised to call Tim in time
For Lance to take us up to 'look
the house over this afternoon."
Halfway to the door she paused
and came back.
"I know you don't want to talk
.about it, Jan," she said with a
gentleness that touched Jan as
Cynthia's rare moments of tender-
ness always did -- more keenly
than kindness from anyone else.
"I just want to say—it won't hurt
like this forever. It's no use to
tell you that now, of course. But
it won't, I know."
So Cynthia ,was to have the
white house over which she and
Lance had spent so many enchant-
ed hours. In spite of her assur-
ance to Cynthia, Janet found that
it did natter terribly.
Young as Janet was, she real-
ized that if she were to hold her-
self steady, she must keep in touch
with the life she had always
always known. So she went about
a goad deal during the next few
days.
Picking Up The Pieces
Prom the beginning she under-
stood that ;her broken engagement
--it not actlta1Iy.,the reason fon it
',was already an accepted fact
among her acquaintances. Most of
them skirted the subject with an
offhand jocularity which they evi-
dently believed made the situation
easier for her, and perhaps it did.
But beneath the harmless jests
about her fickleness, her sensitive
pride sometimes detected pity, and
writhed under it.
During those first few weeks
she saw Lance only a few times
--once in a hotel dining room with
an expensively dressed woman of
uncertain age, and once, coming
out of a theatre alone.
Cynthia and Timothy Benton
had dashed off again almost im-
mediately on a European trip
which was to keep them abroad
until the first of the year, when
the new house would be ready for
them. Aunt Mary and Janet had
occasional sketchy scrawls front
Cynthia, but rarely knew exactly
where she would be at any given
time.
He Knew The Worst
Barney McKnight, deeply ab-
sorbed in his-erusade, seldom
turned up at the parties Janet
went to, but dropped in at the
apartment at odd moments. Oc-
casionally he and Janet drove out
alone to some inn or 'roadhouse
along the turnpike to eat and
dance.
Janet came to look forward to
these jaunts—.partly because, with
Barney, she could relax and put
off the protective coloration she
wore among her other friends —
after all, Barney knew the worst;
and partly because she was fas-
cinated by what he told her about
his work. Ile treated her very
much as if she were a younger
sister, or a small boy, whom he
liked and trusted, and found tre-
mendously amusing. He made no
apparent effort to entertain or
T,
flatter her, as if their casual'COM;
panionship ere I)ot lnipattant:
c+Bough for hiniwt.o feel the need of
that. Often they drove for miles,
just watching the road roll by,
without speaking a woad. It was
all very restful and uninvolved.
An Unpredictable Host
One Sunday evening, while .they
were having supper in a shabbily
ornate little Italian restaurant he
had taken her to because, as he
said, if the color scheme didn't
put your eyes out before you were
served, the food made you forget
everything else, a waiter hurried
no the table with a note for Baa:-
ney. He read it, said to the wait-
er, "Tell him `0-kay'," and abrupt-
ly r•'runipled ap his napkin.
"Think you can make it home
alone if 1 put you into a taxi?"
he aske43. "Sorry, but I have a job
to do,"
"Why 1 haven't had my des-
sert!"
"Neither have I ---and I'm the
one who's paying for it, sistei.
You ean take an ice cream cone
home with you."
"But, Barney, I thought we
were going to have a long talk."
"Some other time. This is some-
thing big. It won't wait."
Already he had her coat, and
when she got, bewildered, to her
fret, he hustled her into it.
"Well, of all the hosts I have
ever 'known," Janet protested,
laughing a little, "you • are the
most unpredictable. Perhaps that
is one of the reasons I like being
with you so much."
"It might be illuminating to
hear some of the others," he grin-
ned, shrugging his shoulders into
his own topcoat.
"Well, for one thing," Janet
said quite seriously, "you're such a
comfortable person to be with."
He stopped short, looked at her
with searching. speculation, and
then broke into a short Iaugh.
"What a swell send-off for a
nurse in a home for the aged and
infirm!" he said.
He stowed her unceremoniously
into a cab, paid the driver, and
leaving her feeling mystified and
strangely uneasy, darted off into
the dark.
It was weeks before she saw
him again.

Hosiery In Ma .,y
New Fall Shades
Willi skirts remaining short, the
right shade of hosiery must be
worn to match fall ensembles. The
first fail breeze is sweeping away
the excess frills, the "gypsy" and
the "little girl" styles, and fashion
will become a lady — elegant, dis-
tinguished, smart.
As hosiery is one-third of the
ensemble, it must play its part in
creating this change and it does so
magnificently with light but mel-
low colors that harmonize — tone
on tone, rather than the contrast-
ing colors of last season.
Bieck will lead as the costume
and accessory color for fall and
winter. With the black costume
and contrasting accessories, the
stocking shade should be selected
to harmonize with the accessory
color.
Greens should be important, par-
ticularly as an accessory color for
brown or yellowish greens to the
darker moss and marine greens.
The right color to harmonize with
the bronze greens is the golden
cast harvest, The dark bluish -
greens are complemented perfectly
by the brownish -beige patio.

Cooking Dinner
Elizabeth Can Turn Out A
Four -Course lineal Unaided
Now
Princess Elizabeth, who is thir-
teen years old, can now cook a
four -course dinner without any as-
sistance.
She passes several hours a week
practising on the small-scale stove
which is a festive of the kitchens
at Buckingham Palace modernized
by the Queen. The stove was in-
. etalied when the princess, who has
acquired much of her mother's cul-
inary skilI, asked to be allowed to
take up cooking seriously. Her pro-
gress has been rapid under the ex-
pert tuition, of the palace chefs.
Old -Fashioned Recipes
Fancy cooking does not interest
her nearly as much as following
old-fashioned recipes from the col-
lection of the Queen. She has also
learned how to make cakes and
stones of the kind baked daily in
Scottish farmhouses.

Proper Care
Of Footwear
_—
Remove Stains and Prolong
the Life aS>1oes
It is a good plan. to wash brown
footwear occasionally, mixing a
little soft soap with warm water
and then scrubbing the boots or
yh0es with a brush that has been
dipped Into tho soapy water. In
this way an accumulation of polish
is removed.
Then dry the boots or shoes, put
them on trF;,s, and prop the heels
up so that only the toes touch the
ground and the air passes freely
round the shoes. When dry, apply
brown polish or cream in the usual
way.
If there ;,I el grease stains on the
shoes, rub a 'little powdered
Wrench clunk on the marks, leave
it on for about 24 hours, and pol-
ish with the brown boot cz'eam. It
may be necessary to repeat the
ireatmen t.
Black stains ean generally be re-
moved by dissolving one-quarter of
a teaspoon salts of lemon in half
a cup water-, 'When the Liquid is
cool, dip an old sponge, in it and
rub it over the stains. Dry, and pol-
ish with a good cream.
Treat With Turpentine
Suede shoes have a habit of get-
ting dirty and sha:lby, but as a
general rule all the dirt and a good
deal of the shine will disappear If
the sboes are treated with turpen-
tine. After placing then on trees,
dip a clean rag in turpentine and
rub the shoes briskly, going over
the entire surface and renewing
the rag as it gets soiled.
The dirt and gvease will vanish,
To Corset Or
Not To Corset
With the New Laced Types,
the Waist May Be Slimmed
by One or Two Inches
NEW YORK, — Favored for the
small figure is a new .model corset
cut to reach about three inches
above the waistline, or to cover
the lowest rib bone. It has a few
whale -bones, is about 17 inches in
length on the figure and has a six-
inch section of lacing at the top of
the back for nipping in the waist.
In many corsets offered locally,
cut and seams achieve the slim
waist, rounded hip contours form-
erly produced by lacing.
Wasp -Waist Ideal?
it's possible to slim down the
waist by one, two or even three
incises with such corsets. Models
who have tried them say there is
no great discomfort involved. But
since the slimmest girls we ebuld,
find have waists no smaller than.
24 Melees, the lacings of today are
not likely to approach the wasp-
waisted ideal of the 1890's.
Country Women
Country women never wear
Jewels on their hands or hair;
They leave the sapphires and the
pearls
To the easy taste of city girls.
On the contrary, when it conies
To pears and apples, cherries,
plums,
To currants gleaming on their
stems,
Gooseberries, raspberries — -these
are gems
That country women understand;
That stilt a busy rustic hand,
When they are done with plums
and cherries,
With polished fruit and glittering
berries,
Their cellar shelves are loaded
down
With colors fit for any crown:
Currant jelly rich and red
As rubies on a kingly head;
Mint jelly full of lingering light,
As green as emeralds, and as
bright;
And the transluce ,t gold that
dapples
The topaz jelly made of apples.
So why should country women
care
For jewels on their hands or hair?
