Last Week: Janet finds that Tim

pride. After long absence Bar-
ney returns; he and Janet are
caught in a fog, forced to sleep
in his car -
CHAPTER XVIII
Once Barney roused long
enough to pat her arm and mur-
mur a drowsy apology; then he
propmtly dropped off again.
Janet did not wake him until a
brisk wind scattered the fog and
made driving possible. It was al-
most daylight when they rode into
town.
"If anyone sees us," Janet told
him as they stopped before the
.Breckenridge, "you may have to
make an honest woman of me."
"You can't scare me. Aunt Mary
doesn't own a shotgun," Barney
grinned. Then his grin twisted,
and his eyes held hers almost de-
fiantly. "Of course this wouldn't
snake any difference to you," he
blurted out, "but I can think of a
Ica of things I'd hate worse .. .
Well, I guess you know your way
in. I've got to run."
Before Janet could find words
he had driven away : . 0f .course

nonsense. Nevertheless, she could
not forget the way his eyes had
searched hers.
Aunt Mary's door was .closed
when Janet stepped into the hall
outside. Apparently she had'gone

through. Janetnever knew why
.she opened the d.00r and peeped
inside. She chid: not understand at
once, either, what it was about
the appearance of Aunt Mary's
room that struck chill to her heart,
even before she had opened the
door wide enough to see mare
than the small area of rug at the
head of the bed.
Of course the bed lamp was
burning; but Aunt Mary often
slept with a light.
Later, Janet remembered that
it was the book on the floor. It
was sprawled open, face down-
wards, with the leaves bent and
crumpled. Aunt Mary, .who cher=
lshed her .books as she cherished
her next of kin, could never have
left a book lying like that . . .
Yet she had.
Too Late To Catch Them
A cold blast of air greeted Jan-
et, as she went in.
The bed was empty. There
was only a neat dent in the pillow,
a slight disarrangement of the
covers to indicate that. it had been
occupied.
Over by the front windows, un-
der the wind -billowed curtains,
lay Aunt Mary in a crumpled heap
on the Hoar. She must have risen
from bed at the sound of some
fog -bound motor horn, hoping,
perhaps, that it was Barney's—of
course this was only Janet's guess
—dropped her cherished book
heedlessly on the rug in her haste,
and hurrying to the window, slip-
ped and fallen on the polished
floor.
She
Janet reacher her. She remain-
ed unconscious for hours after
-the was taken to the hospital: The
resident physician whom Janet
talked to first said she had a brok-
en hip and a dangerous chill. Ap-
parently she had lain for hours in
her thin nightgown under those
wind-blown curtains.
Janet tried desperately to get a
message to Cynthia at Nice. But
evidently Cynthia and Timothy
Benton had moved on since the
last card had come, and her mes-
sage missed them. It was six
weeks before Janet. actually
caught up with them in Cairo,. and
by that time it was too late.
When she tried to get Barney
at the office of his newspaper, she
was told by a crisp secretarial
voice—that McKnight was out of
town . . . No, the office Couldn't
say where he was to be found.
When Janet tried his hone tele-
phone later, it was silent. For
the first time Janet realized how
mach she had come to depend on

Aunt Mary's chill had developed
into pleurisy overnight it was

her hip told Janet that she would
probably never walk again.
Janet was at the hospital when
Lance's call came.
"Janet," Lance said, "I—Pin

band is finished with ribbon and
two embroidered flowers. For
good measure we have added
matching bootees. We envy the
fortunate ladies who will own sets
on Christmas morning.
The pattern includes easy -to -

quirements and all directions for

"It won't hurt like this forever,
Jan," Cynthia had said. "I know."
And. unbelievably, Cynthia had
been right.,
So many people wanted to help
that Janet—especially after the
first week—found it hard to tut-
derstand why Barney was not
among them.
Thanksgiving came and went,
Christmas was at hand ... Aunt
Mary had always been as excited •
as a child about Christmas. She
had passed the pneumonia crisis
safely, to the complete amazement
715kter doctors, but continued to
suffer a great deal from her hip,.
It was the day Cynthia's radio•-
gram came from Cairo that Janet,
firmly ejected from Aunt Mary's
room by the nurse, went out M.
a walk in the park.
Conversation In •The Park
On the bench from which you
could see the white house, nest-
ling, cameo -like, against the bate
winter hillside, Janet found the
old gentleman she had talked with
there before; a bak of peanuts on_
the bench beside him., an opened
newspaper on his knee.
One squirrel was on his shoul-
der, and another scrambled up his
left leg.. Another peered from a
branch overhead, his lower jaw
quivering at the seductive crack-
ling of the paper bag. The old
gentleman had aged noticeably;
but he glanced up with a friendly
twinkle as Janet approached.
"Yon must have been missing
your daily dozen, young lady," he
said, making room for her. "You'
don't look quite up to snuff."
Janet explained 'simply, "I'ni:
not. My aunt—the only mother I
remember—has been very i11 for
over a month. Perhaps you read:.
about her accident—Mrs, /Wary
Cantrell? It was in the papers."
"Mrs. Mary Cantrell?" Tie.

Miss Janet Dwight?"
He cracked ravcral nuts, s^an=

"Miss ila:cht," 1:^ s:l,'d fntal]y, ;
"I find reyae:f in t' : t:.l :lea:;::nt

she—went on; and got the habit
I remember seeing something
about your engagement ... I hope
—of course if I'd known who you
were, I'd have kept my fool mouth
shut that day."
"Oh, please," Janet cried- quick-
ly; • "that was something' I had a
right to know . . . Things like
that happen to be really important
to me. When I broke my engage-
ment, that was one of the reasons
—abut only one Anyhow, all
that doesn't seem to matter now,"
she finished.
"That's fine!" he said.
As ,if glad to change the sub-
ject, he went on, tapping the news
paper en his knee, "There's a
good deal in the news besides the
doings of society these days. This
now. Here's a young man who's
done something no one else in this
town's ever had the nerve to try."
As Janet glaneed down, phrases
leaped out at her from the page:
"Beginning Monday" .. , "Series
Of articles" . . "dramatic ex-
posure" . "graft ring" . . .
"exclusive story, by—"
"Why!" she cried. "But 1 know

Pointers For
The Hostess
Give Guests Chance To Shine;
Don't Try to Dazzle Them
A woman who shines in the role
of hostess says that she had to
learn to entertain after she was
married just as she had to learn
to cook. Her advice will be valu-
able to brides:
Here are the things she has now
found important:
To plan her parties carefully,
even to the point of anticipating
"hitches."
Never to overbid her hand. That
is, not plan anything, from food
to entertainment, so elaborate as
to get her into a state of the jit:'
ters.
To make her parties distinctly
her own, (Slee decided long ago to
build her parties around "good
talk.")
To keep out of her eyes the far-
away look that means the hostess
is thinking of the party instead of
the guest to whom she is suppos-
ed to be listening.
To make each guest feel she is
tickled to death to see him. That
now that he is present, things can
really start.
Not to be neglectful of her
guests', comfort in her determina-
tion not to fuss over them.
To give her guests a chance to
shine instead of trying to dazzle
them.
To let her husband appear to be
giving the party just as much as
she, instead of treating him like
an overlooked guest.
Christian Science
Thanksgiving Day
Christian Science churches the
world over hold Thanksgiving Day
services, and the one held in First
Church of Christ, Scientist, Tor-
onto, is typical of them all.
The service opened with the con-
gregation singing the hymn "This
is the day the Lord hath made."
The Thanksgiving Proclamation
by the Governor-General of Can-
ada was then read by Mr, John
Carleton, the First Reader.
The Scriptural selection was
from Psalms and was read by the
First Reader. After the Spiritual
selection the congregation united
in silent prayer which was follow-
ed by the audible repetition of the
Lord's Prayer with its spiritual in-
terpretation from the Christian
Science textbook, "Science and
Health with Ivey to the Scrip-
tures" by ,M.aiy Baker Eddy,
The Lesson -Sermon for Thanks-
giving Day given in the Christian
Science Quarterly and read in all
Christian Science churches in
Canada and many other parts of
the world followed the second
hymn. The subject of this Lesson -
Sermon was "Thanksgiving" and
had for the Golden Text: "Rejoice
evermore. Pray without ceasing.
In every thing give thanks: for
this is the will of God in Christ
Jesus concerning you." (I Thes-
salonians 5: 16-18).
Fashion Flashes
Everything in the Fashion
world is feminine . , . even super -
feminine. All the season's clothes
are charming and alluring, and ev-
erything possible is being done
to turn out "lovely ducklings."
—0—
Veils are important as ever and
there are some startling veil ar-
rangements . as well as new
types of veils. Fine veils in large
hexagon patterns, or in large cir-
cles are good. Veils are used as
mob caps, and oftentimes worn
under the hat and tied underneath
the chin.
—o—
There is ever so much more
"hat" in the millinery world.
Smart hats have new treatments
in crowns and brims, (this season
we shall wear both together) all
generously trimmed and with
much color, Many felts have visor
brims and the forward movement
is stressed in crowns as well as
trimmings.
