Their families insisted that they marry, regarding the episode as a wild escapade, Peter was engaged to another girl, In love with him for a time, Sheila no longer cared for. him, and she ran away to avoid doing so. While she was working as a waitress ' ) an Atlantic City hotel, the newspapers printed columns about the disappearance of "The Mystery Girl." Frank McCann, Peter's older brother, traced her and persuaded her to fly back to New York with him. The plane crashed near Newark, the pilot was killed and Frank and Sheila mere injured, Frank badly. When Sheila was reunited with her family her widowed mother, her brother,Joe And her crippled younger sister, An- gela—she was distressed to find her- self again the object of thinly -veiled speculation in the newspapers. Mean- while, at the McCann mansion, Frank was recovering from his injuries. His fiancee, Bernadette Kennedy, unable to accept Frank's reason for seeing Sheila in Atlantic City, and divining that Frank loved Sheila, not her, re- nounced him. This she did at the McCann home in the presence of the McCann and Carscadden families. Bursting into tears, Shelia asked: "Joe, you believe me, don't you?" There was a silence. "I don't think any man would!" Frank presently said, with a not quite natural laugh. And after a minute he • added dryly. "Fortunately for -me, Bernadette doesn't agree with you. "So you don't think you could be faithful to any man for five years?" he asked, as Sheila did not speak. "I didn't say that. I only meant that—if I loved a man, 1 wouldn't want to wait five years to—to be his wife," Sheila answered simply. "You wouldn't want to be sure?" "I would be sure." Frank mused on this, watching her steadily. "What would you call being sure?" Sheila thought a while before she answered, looking down, biting her full, red lower lip. "Dividing the world into two parts," she said, after a pause, "him —and the rest.

Hoping—hoping that everyone else would hate him—" "Hate him! Love him, you mean?" Frank ejaculated incredulously, as she hesitated. "Hate him—so that you could make it up to him by loving him all the more," she said. Frank could only stare at her. "I don't love Bernadette like that; I'm glad when anyone else admires her," he finally observed. "And she feels the same way about me." "Then you're different," Sheila commented mildly. "How do you know that love is like that?" Frank demanded. "It is for me." "It would be for you?" "It is. Her head was singing: she felt her hands cold and wet. A silence. "You mean—Peter?" Frank asked respectfully. "Peter!" Sheila cleared her throat. "No, not Peter," she said. "You mean you don't love Peter any more?" "I never did. We just had `a—a case," the girl explained, "and he promised he'd come to see me, and he didn't come, and that made me mad—I thought more about him than if he had, maybe. But Peter's only—a boy," Sheila concluded with a smile. "He's older than you are.", To this the girl made no answer. "Well, come on—" Frank said en- couragingly. "You've only made half a confession! If it isn't Pete, who ig it?„ "Peter: was the —the first gentle- man I'd ever known," Sheila, instead of answering, said hurriedly and ner- vously. "I liked him, =or that" "So much so that he didn't keep his word to you?" "He lost my address." "And forgot your name?" "I forgot his," the girl said hon- estly, laughing. "But you see we're not in the telephone book, and he said that the only Carsc'adden that looked possible to him was in Brook- lyn,," "You're dodging the issue," Frank pursued. "You can't do that when you're talking to a sawyer, you know. Come on—out with it—whom do you like ?" "I might know what I thought about it, without being= -it," Sheila stammered. "It, and it! What d'you paean by it?" "Well, I might know what being in love was, without being in love." She was suddenly scarlet, the clean color flooding up under her trans- parent skin like a flame. "Yes, but you aren't guessing!" he answered shrewdly. "Be a sport, Sheila. I won't tell on you!" She looked at hini steadily, unable to speak, unable to smile or move, chained in her chair, zas apricot coI- or flooding her face, her blue eyes fixed on his. For a long time they looked at each other in silence. Color had come into Frank's face, too. After a while he smiled, his kindest, his simplest smile. "I'm sorry," he said. And after a pause he repeated it. "I'm terribly sorry," "Oh, that's all right," Sheila as- sured him politely, clearing her throat again. And for a long time neither could seem to find antthilg further to say. "It must sound—kind of flat — for me to say.. that I like you—aw- fully, more than any—any girl your age I ever knew," Frank presently ventured with an av k-raa?t1 Iaugh. "No, I'm glad," Silei..: responded very simply and honestly, She looked up et him, lcol:ed down again.

H. Foster and Henry W. Davis, of Boston, is said to be risiiag in popularity among women,' accord, ing to the New York Sun:, A few years' ago only . the hardiest of their sex dared borrow a gun and .shooting jacket from brother or husband for a few trial shots, Today finds the none ber of women in the United States who shoot regularly climbing toward two thousand, With only three years of .shooting experience to her credit, and on Tier first trip to the "Great Eastern Cham- pionships, Mrs. H. E. 'Rogers, of Wal- tham, Mass., walked off with the women's title at this summers' Lord- ship, Coun., meet with a score of 85 x 100. Sho also holds the world's long run skeet record for women 117 straight targets—won in January; and recently gained the ,women's': street title of Massachusetts, Mrs. Rogers also does much partridge and wood- cock shooting, and is well known in Gulf Stream fishing circles. Miss Winifred Hanley, of Stamford, Conn., runner-up for the Lordship title, says it's a toss-up as to which she takes more seriously—street or golf. Mrs. S. 11,. Hutcheson, of Larehmont, :N.Y., adopted skeet rather than take " her luiltting to shoots in which her husband .partipipated. Liking it at first trial, she is now an alert, accurate Shooter with a constantly improving Score. A mental handicap was added for women shooters at Lordship by the presence of the prominent woman skeet shooter, Mrs, W. W. ,Walker, of Washington, DC., who recently not only won the women's ehainpionsliip o1 Maryland and the District of Col. unable, but also took the all-around title from both 'men and women con, testants with the excellent scores of 40x50 and 98x100. She was also run- ner-up in the recent North-South Wo- men's Skeet Championship, Mrs, Wal. ker dispels any idea that the woman shooter must bo a hefty, muscular Amazon. Feminine and soft spoken, she neverthelesstakes to the shooting post a quiet conifdenee and steady ac. curacy that seldom fails to bring re- sults. A bit of bad luck prevented her from placing at Lordship. Keeping 'Ern Down Try putting a heavy button or coat weight in the front seam of light- weight raincoat or cape to keep it downin the wind.

"She said it was an answer to prayer!' "How much will it be?" "Sixty. That's what your father pays now." "It isn't much." "With her rent paid; and Joe help- ing?" Sheila's eyes were very round.

Cheese sandwiches are, with out doubt, the most popular and most practical way to serve cheese. It is a good idea, and an easy matter to vary the sandwiches by making use of the many cheese fillings which can he so quickly and economically prepar- ed. For tasty and nourishing sand- wiches, blend cheese—either grated Canadian cheddar, processed, cottage cr cream—with salad dressing, and add chopped green pepper, green on• bons, pimento, nuts, pickles, olives or celery. Use a generous amount of fill ing with brown or white bread cut to suit the occasion—in other words, not too thin, or, for a change, use the fill- ing in buttered tea biscuits or rolls. Another suggestion is to serve plain buttered bread or rolls in place of the sandwiches and make cheese a part of the salad by combining grated cheese with the other ingredients, or by serv- ing erveing a cheese caressing with the salad. For the dressing blend together egteee parts of grated Canadian cheddar cheese, processed, cream or cottage cheese with salad dressing, folding in whipped cream if desired. Small balls of cottage or cream cheese, slices of Canadian cheddar or processed cheese, large prunes or celery stocks stuffed with a cheese mixture will add flavor and good value to the picnic salad plate. And speaking of salads, keep in mind that cucumbers, tomatoes, celery asparagus, pineapple, peaches and pears are especially accompaniment. And here is a pie that will call forth oh's and ah's from the family: Raspberry Cream Pie One baked shell, one and three- fourths cups scalded milk, three table.. spoons flour, three tablespoons corn- starch, two-thirds' cup sugar, one- fourth teaspoon salt, two egg yolks, one teaspoon vanilla, one-half cup cream, whipped; one-half cup fresh respberries. Prepare baked shell, and you will find it easier to bake it on the back of the same size. Scald milk. Mix flour, cornstarch, sugar, salt. Add hot milk to them slowly, stirring it in carefully to prevent lumping. Return all to double boiler. Cook over hot water, stirring constantly at first until the filling is thickened and smooth. Continue cooking, stirring occasion- ally until flour and cornstarch are thoroughly cooked (taste to make cer- tain no raw starch taste remains). Beat egg yolks, add a portion of the hot mixture to them, stirring it in slowly. Return all to double boiler and cook two minutes longer. Remove from heat. Let stand until lukewarm. Add vanilla. Whip cream and fold it in. Fold in raspberries also, if de- sired, or they may be sprinkled over the top. Turn into baked shell. Top with additional whipped cream or with an egg meringue, using the two egg white. Beat them to a stiff froth and add • one-fourth cup sugar gradually, beating it in by the tablespoonful. Balce in a moderate oven, 350 degrees Fahrenheit until delicately browned. Home Kinks A problem that puzzles niftily, espec- ially apartment dweilors with unin- teresting oblong rooms and "institu- tion" glass windows forming one end, says Mrs. Edna 11. Kern, interior deccrator, is changing the room shape and dressing up the bleak emptiness of the window expanse, A beaver board or wooden parti- titin with a high centre doorway arehi, and, if the width is sufficient, twd, smaller arches on either side, placed, -0 about 20 inches from the window,( gives a delightful balcony effect,, Plants placed between the actual win;; dow and the partition make the bal.) cony appearance even more realistic,!, and the arches can be draped just ani they would be if they actually did lead ) out onto a balcony. The expense en.( tailed for a beaver board partition of t this kind is very small, and the trans. formation of an uninterestingly shaped room is little short of mitt culnus. The partition, of course can be painted or papered to blend with the other walls, + Curdling Tomato Soap Iiow many times we have all had our cream of tomato soup curdle. The 6 trouble lies in adding the tomatoes slowly to the heated milk. Not in) adding just the first portion slowly, ) but adding all slowly and stirring it i carefully. However, if there are too t many tomatoes, no matter how slo*lY; they are stirred into the milk, curd- ling will result. Apple Sauce De Luxe } One dozen apples, one and one-half ; cups apple cider, granulated sugar to r taste, one teaspoon' lemon juice, one tablespoon butter, pinch salt. Wash cvore and cut into apples. Put them t in a saucepan with the cider and cook ? until tender enough to rub through sieve. Mixture should be thick.. Stir, in the remaining ingredients. Pori i into a bowl. Garnish with a light , drizzling of cinnamon. Serve hot or ;- cold. as desired.
