SYNOPSIS
RUTH WOODSON, pretty,
high-spirited girl of 19, in seirch
•
of work, seeks refuge from a
storm in an old !rouse with a blue
door in the little town of Wortlt-
ville. The queer old caretaker,
BERTHA GIBBS, also known as
PENNY, thinks Ruth is
A1NE
'CHALMERS, who grand
er
built the house.
Ruth, needing shelter and hhv-
trig fallen in love with JOHN Mc-
NEII.,L, the young man next door,
decides to stay on a while, pow
rag as Elaine. Elaine, meanwhile,
at Qraycastle Collegs, vows in a.
sorority meeting to win the love
of her childhood hero, John Mc-
Neill. She plans to go to Worth-
ville.
Joon has fallen in love with
Ruth, whom he calls "Elaine,"
and they are often together. El-
aine goes to New York and her
mother, GWEN DEAL, tells her
that Elaine's uncle, DUNCAN
HUNTER, has escaped frown an
asylum and is thought to be in
New York. Elaine spends a gay
week -end going about with her
fiance, TEDDY VAN HARRING-
TON. She is half in love with
DENNIS DAVIS, a first classmas
at Annapolis, and looks upon her
coming' conquest of John McNeill
as sport.
Mrs. McNeill returns home
from a visit. She and John, alarm-
ed
larmed about "Elaine" bong alone in
the Hunter house with old Bertha
Gibbs, urge her to stay with them.
Ruth declines.
"Very comfortably," Ruth itis-
F•ured Mini. "But .t'herc's a couple
of geod yawls abut her that I've
never told you--
"Let's have them," John urged. •
• Ruth said, wiping 0 smudge of
dirt from her wrist, "She swiped
a rcrand stucktsomei

rary other hooks

it made me wild, live never seen
them since, When I asked. liar
about thein she pretended not to
.know what 1 was talking about,.
She can't read, of course, on ac-
count -of her sight."
"Um -m," said John, .: drawing
on his pipe: "Go on."
"Well, the other 'incident is
louder and funnier. It's' about ti
cake I made for her. The day
after her birthday she got her
quarterly check :from New York.
She went down town to bank it
and to lay in a supply of staple
groceries. When l saw all the our -
lay she'd had sent home, I offered
to hake her a day -late birthday
cake. She was as thrilled as a child
and asked me if I could manage
to make the icing pinkl I did, by
using beet water as coloring. If
I do say so, it was a beautiful
Cake."
"And then she forget to thank
you?" John guessed.
"Mercy, no! She was terribly
grateful and showed it. Came din-
ner, then, and I cut the gorgeous
thing---"
"Is this story intended to praise
your cooking?" asked John, grin-
ning, "or just to make me hun-
gry?" a �.

"Pin not interested in your re-
action to the cake --it's Penny's
that has me guessing. Well, she
began to eat a piece of it with
the most heavenly expression on
her fates. About that time there
came a knock on the front door
and she went to answer it. She
fooled around so long thst :t oleo -
ed the table and began to wadi
the dishes. Enmity she came back,
but she'd lost her appetite and
all interest in the cake. She said_
she'd had a telegram that upset
her." n
"Is that the end of the story?"
CHAPTER XXI
Elaine Chalmers, kissing Teddy
Van Harrington good -night in the
car in the small hours of Sunday
morning, refused to let him conte
in.
"Don't hang around, Teddy,"
she told him petulantly. "I'll be
here till Monday. We've still
plenty of time to quarrel."1 back
"I thought you were you g
today," he said. "Didn't you say
you had classes Monday morn-
ing?"
"So I did and so I have," she
retorted brightly, "but I'm stay-
ing over anyway. I can see you
for cocktails this afternoon and
then till all hours tonight. Run
along now and let Elaine sleep."
When a sleepy houseman had
let her in she sat in the dimly
' tit drawing room and thought of
Ohio. She had decided not -to go
back to college at all before the
holidays. A three-day absence
prior to a holiday would not be
investigated. That much at least
she had gained by her progress
rrom boarding school chit to col-
lege woman . , . She'd pretend to
Stead she'd take a train for Worth-
ville. In that way she'd gain three
extra days for conquest of John
McNeill. She felt very= happy and
elver.
"I'll not risk applying for a
rush train pass" she decided, "or
engage a drawing rootn, ligate'o
secretary gets wind of everything.
No, I'll buy a ticket and 'travel
like any poor girl who doesn't
own a share of railroad stock to
her name." It clid not occur to
her that some girls are too p
to buy even a railroad ticket. So
far do the worlds of the very rich
and the very poor lie apart.
When she finally went upstairs
to bed, a tired servant trailed her,
putting out the lights. Elaine did
not think of -thanking him. After
all, wasn't he paid regularly?

Meeting In the Garden
On the following afternocn,
which was Sunday', Ruth Wood-
son felt moved: ' to explore the
flower garden back of, the library.
It had tempted her from the first.
.Two long windows in the west
wall of the library opened on the
garden and stone steps led down
from the window ledges.
Ruth was interested. Once the
beds had been formally planted,
with paths, stone seats and a sun-
dial to enhance the effect, Now
everything was a tangle. Paths
were overgrown wit h weeds'
Shrubbery ran riot. Climbing' ro-
es and vines entertwined and
matted. Yet; in spite of all, the
staters and chrysanthemtlrns steng-
gled through to bloom as 'indi-
vidualists. individualists.
Ruth found a few rusty tools
in a little shed, chose a hoe, and
began to use it on the flower -beds
to straighten their borders. She
was so engrossed that she failed
to hear the hedge being parted
and Si o h n McNees stepping
through.
• "Did 1 frighten you,?" he. ask-
ed. "Sorry!"
Ruth laughed, "You did sLaa:te
me a little. T was afraid ll: was
Penny come Lo call nae down for
trespassing in her garden."
John asked. "How's I?rnny' cone

one," he sold. "`She took the
books, of course, because there
was nobody else to take then!,.
She's using there fora door stop.
'We used to do it at college."
"Vialvenous!" Buth •e exclaimed,
almost.. seriously, "And what
about the (.take episode?','
He said, "If the, Secret Service
hears of this they'll hire sire,
whetllor ar no;t, Penny, eats itt
bell„
They both laughed until they
were: weak, .
"Can we, go into the library?"
John asked. "C'm tared of lesu-
ing against this tree. );elides, '1
always lilted that c1d room."" Ruth
"Of course �t e can go in,
answered. "I cleaned it thorough-
ly a few days ago, Careful as you
go in! You'll have to duck the
window sash."
She entered by one window and
he by another. As they met in-
•
side he pretended to be surprised
to see her, tock both her hands
and kissed her boldly and effece
tively on the lips.

After she had caught her breath
Ruth ,surprised and delighted hint
by saying, "Wrong cue! We've
got to make another entrance,
Mr. McNeill!"
So they sclemnly went out and
came in and did it all over again,
this time almost daring to be tend:
der.
John complained, "We hivep.'t
gotten the thing right yet, Mies
Chalmers. There's still too much
levity on your part. Let's cut out
the entering and concentrate on
the finale."
Ruth shook her head and drew
away from him. "That's the Little
Theatre movement for you! You
get worn out with rehearsals."
Actually her heart was pounding
to her frivolous words. "Have you
ever noticed this old globe, John?" -
"Ilave I!!" he exclaimed, whirl-
ing it rapidly. "1. used to pore
over it. It's several sizes larger
than ours. Wail! What's wrong?"
The two sections of the globe
had become loosened at his han-
dling and showed signs of sepa-
rating at the equator. He lifted
off the top section and held it
up. "Well, I've half be wcrld alt
least—"
"What's this?" Ruth asked.
In the smooth concavity of the
lot( l'r hemisphere there was a bit
of gaudy ribbon, surmounted by
a bronze bar. She picked it up
and examined it curiously.

'ilk and Eggs
As _Health Foods
A finished product which should
bring much satisfaction and praise •
is the dish compounded of milk
and eggs. These two foods probab-
ly should be classed as the two
most essential to health. It has
botu said by an eminent health au-
thority, that milk lacks oirle one
thing and that is bulk — but it is
frequently spoken of as ''the per-
fect food." Then again, milk and
eggs are perfect foods for children,
containing high quality proteins,
the food substances required for
building the muscles and other tis-
sues. Considering the minerals,
milk is one of the best sources we
have for calcium and phosphorus.
Eggs, while coutaiuing an apprec-
iable amount of those, are more
valuable for their iron content. And
both are rich in vitamins and are
therefore classed as "protective
foods". Milk is economical and at
present, eggs are also in that class.
