IoiT:erLes By LOUIS ARTHUR CUNNINGHAM CHAPTER TWO Gillian turned from the window to which, half angrily, she had gone, and a long yellow sun shaft streamed suddenly in and burnish- ed her rippling hair. Even so, Anselm remembered, had her mother, Gillian Crandall, looked, when long ago she had told Anselm Meade she loved his bro- ther. "What do you want to say to me, Anse?" "I want to ask you a question, my dear. I want you, for once, not to laugh at me, Oh, I know as well as you haw we've got by this last few years. Bills moun- tains high. bills never paid. i know all that, I know you can end it by marriage with Jonathan Hillyer, an eminently practical and desirable match. There is only one thing. It brings me to the question: "Do you lova him?" Why Talk of Love? "Hew should I know?" Gillian hedged. "Anyway, Anse, why bring that up? Do you think it's so im- portant? How many marriages have it, after all, when the first blush has worn off and he begins to notice the eggs aren't done right and the toast is burnt?" "You're not answering me, Gil- lian." Poor old Anse, standing there like a grenadier and talk ng like a convent girl, Love—what had love to do with this? "Is it so monstrous—not to love the man you marry? You look like an accusing prophet, Anse. You make me feel, almost, that I'm about to commit a sin." "I don't mean to, Gillian," Ause looked suddenly tired, looked all of the sixty he admitted. "It's just that I don't waut you to be un- happy. don't want you to let your- self in for anything just because you think the show has to go on and this is the only way to keep it going. She carne over to him and slip- ped her arm about his neck and kissed him on the leathery cheek. "You're pretty splendid, Uncle. Don't want to see me sell myselt for filthy lucre. Don't worry. I've thought it all out. I've been in love—I think that's what you'd call it—a number of tinges. Once, notably. You remember Jeffry Clay. Anse? Everybody does. Drank himself to death for love of Gil- lian Meade, ruined his young life. destroyed his youth for a woman who—" • What Else Is There? "Stop it!" Anse shook nor rough- ly until the flaring nostrils, the wide eyes. the disfimte'1 mouth, the signs of hysteria, gave way to serenity and repose. She said, "Sorry, Anse.` It's the story, yon know, It makes a good story. Some smart-alec journalist even made capital of it before Jeffry Clay was a poet. Was that love, Anse? That was a lie and a cruel, ugly thing. I'll leave_ no more of that." "Let's not talk of It, Gillian, Some of us can guess at the truth, even if you will never say what happened between you and Clay. I won't talk to you of love any more. You know what you're doing, niy dear—1 hope you do. But you're so young, and so splendid. I hate to think that you might make a mess of your life. Do these things mean so much to you, these things that require a lot of money?" "They're all 1 know, Anse. All I've ever known. What else is there?" He thought of David, her father, killed in France. She had scarce- ly known him; of Gillian Crandall, carried, white-faced and broken, from the hunting field, to linger a few months, thea go; of the two „,„, apord 'N�NVE' FINER MA ISSUE 35—'41 frightened -eyed little ones, Gillian and Deborah, and of himself, their guardian. He had tried, after his rough fashion, tried hard, but somewhere along the road he had failed. There had been lots of money until a, 'few years ago, then suddenly there had been scarcely any, and he was too old, too brok- en, to do anything about it. And here was Gillian --- "I'm going to a week -end party at Jon Hillyer's lodge, Anse. He's going to ask me to marry him. He told me so. And I'ni going to say yes. You know Jon Hillyer—ship- yards, drydocks, gold mines, more money than be can count. He's not so young,- but neither is he old and fat. And there's not a girl in our set who wouldn't jump through the hoop for him. I'm the one he's chosen.” "I suppose it's the best thing, Gil—" She glanced up at Anselm and all the .raillery went out of her. She had never seen hint look so old. "Were you ever iu love, Anse?" she said. softly. "I know you were, of course. With whom?" "With—with your mother, You see"—Anse shook his head. "I mer her first and I thought I had a chance, Then she came here to visit and she met David, your fath- er. He was the one. She was happy, Gil—only a little while -- but so happy. She loved." "Good Luck, Gillian" He turned towards the cloor. "You'll think that's a lot of sen- timental twaddle, I suppose, Gil- lian. 1 was waiting for you to say, 'Stop, Anse, you're breaking my heart.' Probably it doe's belong to another day," "It's very sweet, Ause," said Gil- lian softly, "Sweet and fragrant and dear—like something kept in lavender for a long, long time. Dar- ling Anse! Don't worry about me. I'll he all right." "Good lurk, Gillian. Ail the luck in the world." He went out. She listened to his uneven, stiff -legged step along the hall. She had always loved Anse. Always, she and Deborah had played a grand, serious game with Anse, pretending he was the stern uncle, that his will was carried out in everything and his word was law. Really, it never was. Pre- sently she would have Anse think- ing that he had arranged for her to marry Jonathan Hillver and that it was quite the best thing for her to do, As it is, she thought determined- ly, Love is all very well, I used to listen, starry-eyed, to Jaffry Clay's verse and I thought I was in heaven and that it anything happened to destroy that heaven, I'd die, I'tl never be the same. Then something didi happen and the heaven proved to be only crys- tal and it was smashed into a mil- lion bits and grains and then stamped upon, And I survived. She put on a well -wore jacket of buff -colored tweed and went, On the stairs she whistled and a white. collie came running to meet her in the lower hall. (To Be Continued) Cheaper Meat Cuts High in Nutrition Good meat at low cost is part of our home defence economy. And beef presents greater variety in low cost cuts than any other meat. New findings of scientists re- veal neat Is a complete source of protein whch builds and repairs muscles and keeps firm flesh of the bones. Meat also contains es- sential vitamins, especially the Vitamin B group, which includes Vitamin 13, necessary for growth, , appetite and protection against certain diseases. Your butcher can offer mane excellent and low cost cuts of eef, These includes chuck, shank, brisket, flank, plate, round, rump, and the so-called beef specialties, such as brains, heart, kidneys, llvlxf. tripe and oxtails. Female Still Outstrips Male Alan Devote, In the. Ameri- can Mercury, Tells How :Mrs. Mosquito Bites Were all mosquitoes males, the human race would doubtless pay them shall attention. The buzzing of mosquito wings, which we now so attentively remark in the suis• mer quiet, would not be more meaningful than any other trifling ineect sound; the flutter of Sphinx moths around our phlox beds or the dim drone of locusts In the clover fields, For the male mosquito's foods are vegetable saps and juices; his life impinges not at all on hunian life; he remains an unnoticeable and harmless frequenter of the meadow grass and underbrush. It is only the female mosquito that has an appetite for animal blood, and an apparatus for pro- curing it, . . So tiny and quick is the puncture that in itself it would doubtless cause no distress to a man or animal. The distress is caused by a quite different oper- ation which the mosquito per- forms simultaneously with her blood -sucking. As she draws in the blood through the groove in the labrum, she pours out also the secretion of her salivary glands. This fierce irritant flows through a tube In another of her stylets, the hypo- pharynx, and she injects it into the wound. Its purpose is to delay. until her feeding is 'completed, the coagulation of the blood. Little Protein In Vegetables Vegetables contain very little protein, in . proportion to their weight ,except the legumes (Peas, beans and lentils), Such vege. table meals should always be rounded out by dishes containing milk, meat, cheese or egggs. With the exception of potatoes, corn, beets, dried peas and beaus, vege- tables contain little sugar, so a rich dessert can always be served with a vegetable plate. It is quite in order to serve a vegetable plate (moulds of three or four cooked or crisped vegetables on each plate) for a main course. Plan it carefully to make a pleas- ing picture. Contrasts in color, shape and texture are the things to strive for ,and you needn't worry unduly over vitamins and minerals. Just keep this simple- rule implerule in mind—serve a hearty por- tion of two cooked vegetables— and another in a crisped, raw state. Housewifely Hint From U.S.A. Navy If the seat of the admiral's pants have that shiny look, he hasn't read the United States Navy's 1941 uniform regulations. A housewifely hint, tagged as the proper way to remove shine from serge, popped out of that volume today; place a wet cloth over the offending spot, press it with a hot iron, then rub the spot gently with "000" sandpaper or emery Cloth. HOLDERS FOR THE KITCHEN UTILIZE SCRAPS Crocheted pot holders are an ideal choice because they utilize scraps of thread and one can have any number of color schemes.

TEXT OF QUEEN'S ADDRESS Following is the text of Queen Elizabeth's radio address on Aug. 10th to the United States: it is just over two years since I spoke to the American people and my purpose then was to thank constant friends for much kind- ness. It is to thoee same friends, and of even greater kindness, that I want to speak today. We, like yourselves, love peace, and have not devoted the years behind us to do the planning of death and destruction; and yet, fearless in the valor of our peo- ple, we have not lacked our en- emy: and it is only now that we are beginning to marshal around us in their full strength the de- votion and resources of our great British Commonwealth of Nations, which will in the end, please God, assuredly prevail. Through these waiting months a heavy burden has been horse by aur people. As I go amongst them I marvel at their unshak- able constancy. In many cities their homes lie in ruins, many of these ancient buildings which you know and love hardly less than we do ourselves. Women and chil• dren have been killed, and eien the sufferers In hospitals have not been spared. Yet hardship has only steeled our hearts and strengthened our resolution, Wherever I go I see bright eyes and smiling faces, fon' though our road is steady and hard, we know that we fight in a great cause. It is not our way in dark days to turn for support to others but even had we been minded to do so your instant help would have foretold us. The warmth and sympathy of American generosity' ity has touched beyond measure the hearts of all of us living in these islands. Aid Unforgetable We shall never forgetow i�>x the hour of our ,greatest need, you came forward with clothes for the homeless, food for the hungry, comfort for those who were sorely afflicted. Canteens, ambulances and medical supplies have come in an unceasing flow from the United States. I find it hard to tell you of our gratitude in Adequate terns. But I ask you to believe that it is deep and sincere beyond expres- sion. Unless you have seen, as i have seen, just how your gifts have been put to use you cannot ' know, perhaps, the solace which You have brought to the men and women of Britain who are suffer - lug and toiling in the cause of freedom. Here in Britain, our women are working in factory and field, turning the lathe and gathering the harvest, for..we must have food as well as munitions. Their enrage is magnificent, their endurance amazing. 1 have seen thew in many different ac- tivities, They are serving in the navy, army and air force, driving heavy lorries, cooking, typing — and every one of them working cheerfully and bravely under any conditions. Many are on the land. our precious soil, driving the plow and making .a grand job of it, Others are air raid wardens or ambulance drivers—thousands of undaunted women who quietly and calmly face the terror of the night bombing, bringing strength and courage to people they pro- tect and help. Praises Nurses I must sa ya personal word to the nurses—those wonderful wo- men whose devotion, whose' hero- ism will never be forgotten. In the black horror of a bombed hos• pital they never falter, and though often wounded, think always of their patients and never of them' selves. And I need not remind you who set as much store by your home life as we do how great are the difficulties 'which our housewives ba,ye tip face nowgdaiva and Oe gallantly they in facing theiitr. 1 could continue to list almost inedfinitely so Manifold is the service which .our women in Bri- tain are giving, But 1 want to tell you that whatever the nature of our daily or nightly task, they are cheered by the evidence of your thoughtfulness, We like to picture you listening en your porches, serving In your committee rooms and helping in a hundred ways to bring relief to our civilian garrison homes. Though I speak for us all in Bei- tain in thanking all of you in America, I feel I should like to send a special message of thanks to American women. It brings us strength that you are not being content to pass us by on the other side so that in the time of our tribulation, you have shown again that compassion which has been for two thousand years the mark of the good neighbor. Believe me, and I am speaking for millions of us, we shall not forget your sacrifice. Fired By Same Ideals The sympathy which inspires It springs not only from our common speech and the traditions which we share with you, but even more from our common ideals. To you tyranny is as hateful as it is to us; to you the things for which we will fight to the death are no less sacred. And, to my mind at any rate, your generosity is part of your conviction that we fight to serve a cause that is yours no less than ours, and of your high resolve that, however great the cost and however long the struggle, justice and freedom, human dignity and kindness, shall not perish from the earth. I look to the day when we shall go forward hand in hand to build a better, a kinder and a happier world for our children. May God bless us all. TU L TALKS By SADIE B.
