Maris Trevor la disc,a,..'aged because
Rod O'Rorke spends all his money
developing an invention which • he
hopes will provide an income so that
they ern marry. 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.

Rod smiled. "Tile only thing?" he

just to get away from this city. Well,

Monument
A lilac bush grows by the door,
Or where the door had been:
An acre, maybe two are left
That woods Have not closed in.
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.

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. Periodically
one reads of inquests on people who
have fallen victims to tilt bacillus.

his wife discovered she could talk

"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-

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."

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."
