Marls thinks they should enjoy the present rather than deny themselves for the future. She becomes uncertain of her love for Rod. Perhaps there would be more happiness with someone else. CHAPTER Irl Carefully she listed herself before the mirror. Than quickly 1,4c•king up her gloves and Gag, she hurried clown the passage to the elevator. Maybe •Stanley would still be in the hall. Maybe his snappy sport roadster would be at the curb. But as she stepped from the eleva- tor, Rod O'Rorke came swiftly to her side. "Say, honey, 1 guess I was a fool leaving you like that yesterday," he said. "Tell me yon still love me, Maris darling," he added impulsive- ly as he drew her away from the throngs that were sweeping along the halls. Maris' eyebrows drew swiftly to- gether. \Vhy had Rod appeared just when there was a chance that she might see Stanley? And yet how her heart had leaped when she caught sight of him, looking so eagerly for her! She knew in spite of any vagrant thoughts about Stanley that she still loved Rod, Well, there was no use making a scone, so quickly banishing her frown, she smiled and said, "Oh. Rod, what a scare you gave me! I thought something terrible had hap- pened when I saw you standing there." "Well, mavourneen, I've been hav- ing a terrible time thinking maybe rd lost you." So Handsome "You couldn't do that so easily," answered Maris, while she glanced swiftly about the wide halls of the office building. But Stanley Payson was nowhere to be seen. "Oh, Maris, darling, you've made me so happy!" Rod's bine. eyes glow- ed as they rested on the girl at his side. "Don't look at me like that," she whispered. "People will think you crazy!" But even though she took a step away from his side, her heart was• fluttering because. she realized that Rod. was so handsome. No won- der the -girls hurrying past turned to, look et hint, envy in their eyes. "I don't care if they do, sweetheart. I'm so happy. Let's go somewhere and have dinner and then take in a show or something," he begged, falling in- to step with her when they joined the multitude hurrying from the building.. "Oh, hut, Rod, I'm afraid I can't,"- Maris an't,"Maris explained, suddenly remember- ing that site was going to discipline the man site loved. It would never do, she knew, to give in the moment he started to stake up. You can't shake nie as easily as that," declared Rod, his blue eyes smiling into hers as he laid his hand lightly on her arm. Then, stooping down, he whispered softly in her ear, "You really don't want to, do you, sweetheart?" Just Stringing "Oh, Rod, you're impossible!" And Maris raised her dark eyes to his, feeling strangely :satisfied. that she should yield so readily to his mastery. There was a smile on her face. It was out of the question to get annoyed with Rod—his Irish good -nature laugh- ed off all rebuffs. Even his temper, about which Patsy had warned her, was, she believed, non-existent. She had never seen the smile fade alto- gether from his eyes, 'tor his lips tighten in a ruthless line—as they could do ---when he uncovered some monkey -business in the course of his work! That time was yet to come, for her. "There, honey, I guess you were .just stringing me about someone else last night." Again his blue eyes flashed at her. "Don't be too sure," she answered, but in her smiling reply he failed to read a warning. "Och, niavourneen, now don't be getting me all excited again. But of course it's uu:y a joke. Now, wha would you like to do?" he asked as they reached the sidewalk, headinb north, "Well, if you insist on spending money on rue and taking me to dinner —wouldn't yell rather conte hp to the apartment and have ire fix some thing? Pat made a grand dinner for you last night, with chocolate cake and—" "Not tonight, honey," he interrupt- ed. "1 want you all to myself." "Well, that's strange, isn't it?" she bandied, suddenly noticing a serious look in Rod's eyes. Ignoring her remark, he said, "Let's step into the subway. I know a pret- ty dece;3t place uptown. It's quiet and the food's good." "No orchestra?" questioned Maris, disappointment in her voice. "Nothing like that," he answered. "Did you Want to dance?" "Did I?" she asked. "Oh, Rod, don't you know I love it? Couldn't we go somewhere else?" Roel seetned to be seeing things for a moment, then he said, "Maybe, but let's eat here, at least." Before Maris realized it, he had piloted her down the subway stairs, shielding her against the seething masses of hu - inanity that swayed like a --'^a11y bar- rage against them as they struggled to get into the train. • "There, that's over," Rod remarked, one arm hanging to a strap and the other around Maris, his elbow jutting outward as though to protect her from the swaying creatures who were jammed around them. it ' .E OP Lin A CAVE MAN Feel Pull of Life—No iblore Tired, Dull, I!leavy Mornings Keep your liver healthy and you'll feel great every morning.

Iiut as Maris started to question hint, the car came to a suddenstop, and again there was a mad rush for the doors.

The apple tree, the cellar hole, The hearth stones know a lot Of what w nt on and who has died That neighbors soon forgot. The lilac blooms despite neglect, The hearth has no more flame, And nature now takes back the land That man has tried to tame. Fires can't kill that lilac bush; It lives though Winters freeze, It lives, the symbol of that hearth, Beside unfriendly trees. — John S.

Household Hints If you are buying a set of dishes from an "open stock" pattern it is wise to complete the set as soon as' you can afford to do so. You may have started your set just about the time the store decides to discontinue that particular pattern and you may have difficulty in completing it. Don't throw away your spare drip- ping ripping because of its unpleasant fatty flavour. A few drops of lemon juice will remove the latter and make it useful for cakes, puddings anel for "frying in." '" If you are making cakes for a chil- dren's birthday party, make ordinary butter sponge and ice as if for fruit cake. The cake can be eaten by the children without any fear of after- effects. A sour cask that has held pickles, vinegar, or wine can be sweetened by washing with lime -water or throw- ing in hot 'charcoal. Later fill the cask with water and let it soak. If you have malted milk which has hardened in the tin, break out the pieces and either grate them on a nutmeg grater or crush with a rolling pin. After having washed a pair of mails pants, hang thein on the line by the waist, and insert wire presses in both legs whilst they are still wet. The pants will be quite easy to press when dry. If you have scorched a garment when ironing, wet the cliscolored'area in clear water and spread in the sun to bleach. Repeat until the spot has disappeared. Do you know how to make jellies and blanc -manges (or any cold sweets) set ice-cold quickly? Make up your own freezing mixture from equal quantities of salt and washing soda dissolved in water, leaving just a little undissolved. Stand the moulds in it and they will set in no time. 1'Lich Eggs Must Be Boiled Well That is the warning given to par - chasers of duck eggs in Prance and Germany, In Germany shopkeepers are compelled by law to tell every custom- er to give duck cggs a long boiling, to stamp on each shell the instruction "To be boiled," and to display a pos. ter :t the subject for the information of customers,. Reason is that French and German medical men take a more serious view of the danger's of duck c.ggs than do our own, because of a dangerous bacillus which they tray lurks in even the cleanest looking et,g.

Women Operators E i joy Gossiping Over the Air Waves—Hass Are Pained and Yearn For Pion- eers Days of Short-wave Radio Pity the poor radio `.Sham"—since his wife discovered she could talk over the air without using Morse code he can't get a word in edge- wise. "They practically monopolize our sets exchanging recipes, gossiping about hats, new kinds of lipsticks and what not," the Purple Pajamc as- serted last week. Off the air waves the Purple Pa- jama is Dr. Burton T. Simpson, di- rector of the $1,500,000 New York State Institute for the Study of Ma- lignant Diseases and one of the na- tion's foremost authorities on cancer. He has been an amateur radio op- erator for 15 years and has one of the most powerful "ham" sending sets in the country. His Purple Pa- jama title comes from his leadership in the Pajama Club, a group of "harts" in New York and New Eng- land who meet on the air three times a week at 7 a.m. to discuss the topics of the day. The Old Days of Morse "There was a time when we hams would say good night to our wives and then sit up until morning ex- changing messages," Dr. Simpson ex- plained. "But the radio telephone changed all that." Hams used to designate their wives as Ow's (old woman) but no more! "In the days of Morse that was all right," Dr. Simpson declared, "but 'when the women folk heard the loud- speaker saying, `How's the Ow to- night?' they wanted to know what it meant and when they found out— they didn't like it." "So, we've changed it to XYL, meaning ex -young lady." Canada's "Debs" Not Restricted At Royal Courts—Shop Girls Free To Take Place In Line Decision of Joseph Kennedy, United States ambassador to Great Britain, to reduce American presen- tations at St. injects' courts held in London each spring will not rratei'ial- ly affect Ca,tadiaitc planniog to make a formal curtsey to the King and Queen, it is stated by o!fia,als in the department of external affairs at Ot- tawa.

Believes Women Less Susceptible To Manly Charms — Dr. Peter Sandiford States Men More Easily Influenced In Criticizing Teaching. TORONTO. —However susceptible to manly charms women appear to be, it seems they are not influenced by- them ythem nearly as -such as men are in- fluenced by female charms. It has all been worked out scien- tifically by Dr. Peter Sandiford, De- partment of Education Research, Coll- ege of Education, who before the Training Section of the Ontario Edu- cational Association convention in To- ronto, showed by carefully worked out charts the part played by sex when men and women critics judge men and women student teachers. Are Better Critics His findings were: (a) Both men and women critics give significantly higher practice teaching marks to women students than to men students. (b) Men students obtained significant- ly higher marks from men critics than from women critics, while on the agevare women students obtained equally high marks from critics of both sexes. "It seems that .women critics are not so overcome by admiration for the opposite sex as to give them high- er marks," said Dr. Sandiford. "Men c_itics, however, cannot claim to be so free From influence; it is probably that they are more lenient with wom- en student -teachers." Extreme cold is capable of causing tin to crumble to dust.
