Because her publisher's wife is jealous of un- married women editors, Margot pretends to have married a myth- ical Tony Merrick while in South America and then to have become estranged from him just prior to her return to New York. Philip Booth, lawyer, wants to marry Mar- got and urges her to divorce her imaginary Tony. Margot meets Jeff Thompson, artist from Ohio, who is in New York for a few clays. Their friendship ripens into Cave. Jeff is just about to propose to her when he learns she is "mar- ried." Margot tells him her regu- Ciation story about meeting Tony romantically and leaving him in at week. But Jeff suspects her when she gets tangled up in the details. He cables a newspaper correspond- ent friend in Rio and the priest in the town of Las Palmas where Margot says she was married. He • thereby learns there never was any such marriage nor any such per- son .as Tony Merrick: Without \warning he sets out for Margot's home where he announces himself to Burton the butler as her long Post husband Tony Merrick.

Sherwood cried.. "Dad!" Jeff murnturecl, hoping he was right. "Dad!" he repeated when the other failed to correct him. "Did Margot tell You we talked things over long distance and we've decided to start all over again?" Vicldi. Maggot's sister entered the room.

Vicki stared at ,Teff with all the romantic ardor of a sub -deb. "Oh!" she breathed. "I'm so glad. Because even if Margot did say you were awful and she had to leave you, I've always believed that if you're married you can learn to love someone afterwards—" she stop- ped short. "Excuse me a minute --ill be right 'back---" Sbe (lashed out of the room, Mr. Sherwood and Jeff smiled benign- ly enignly atter her. "She's overcome, poor dear," the former said, But Vicki was no such thing. She headed straight for the telephone to phone the wonderful news to all the New York newspapers. She was on her way back to the drawing room when Margot entered the house. "'Margot!" Vicki cried tremul- ously. "Oh, Margot. — we've a sur- prise for you—" liar father ran out to meet her. `"1largot!" he greeted. Tony's here—" She stared at him in amaze- ment. "Tony?" "Your husband," he answered dramatically and pushed her into the drawing room. Jeff leaped to his feet and grab- bed Margot in his arms. "Darling." he murtntu•ed, and his murmur had in it happiness; nostalgia ant just enough body to be heard throughout the house. Margot struggled its his em- brace. "Dad," she hcgtun wildly— "Dad — listen —" Mr. Sherwood patted her arm. "Don't fry to talk now, child. Vicki and I will leave you two alone--" its another moment they disappear- ed, shutting the door carefully be- hind them, Margot pushed Jeff away. '.You rattleeirainetl idiot!

CHAMBERS St. Patrick's Day Menu It is true, that St. Patrick's Day does come in the Lenten Season, but although it may not be the gayest of gay parties it still may be a very pleasant affair. As I write this menu I am thinking of a homey family dinner. Cream of Spinach Soup Roast Chicken Rimed Potatces Pear and Cheese Salad Celery, Olives and Gherkins Lime, Marshmallow and Apple Jelly St. Patrick's Day Layer Cake Beverage of Choice powder and salt. Cream butler gradually, blend in sugar. Beat the eggs until creamy and add: Sift in the dry ingredients alter- nating with milk. Turn into 2 well -greased cake tins. Bake in moderate oven about 80 mins, Butter Icing for Layer Cake Sift icing sugar and moisten with milk (being careful to keep a thick consistency). Add 1 table- spoon butter then tint with green. coloring. Place between layers and on top and sprinkle over ail chopped pistachios nuts. (Aliso: adcl 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 tea- spoon almond extract). Icor your decorations there is a variety of choice. If simplicity is your desire, what is more appro- priate than a pretty white cloth with a shamrock for the table centre and maybe it is blooming with lovely white flowers too, as mine is as I write. If you should have a pale green tablecloth, the shamrock placed on that makes a very charming table. Now to- go on with your menu. I am as- sutnirtg you will for this time use a good brand of canned soup. For that nice plump chicken, if you have never tried a currant - glaze, by all means do so. Boil during cooking with ?a cup red currant jelly diluted. with ?6 cup boiling water. A9jbut 30 min- utes bekore chicken is done, spread all over, with the diluted currant jelly. When chicken is done place on heated Platter and surround with crisp water cress. In preparing your dressing for chicken —r lcannedcornand cup soft bread 8 crumbs, ita sausage meat (pressed from its eases) — of course add a little onion, sage and :3 tablespoons chopped celery. For the salad preparation place half pears (canned) on shredded lettuce. Fill cavities of pears with a white creat. cheese tinted green with vegetable coloring. Sprinkle oyer all some chopped par.�le. Lime, Marshmallow, Apple, Cherry Jelly Take 1 package of line jelly powder; pour over it boiling water in the usual way. Have ready 1 cup of freshly made ap- plesauce, sweetened, which has been put through a sieve.
