CHAPTER II
When hours later, the train
shuddered to a stop in the great
New York station and Kathy. step-
ped off, she saw Lois who hurried
to her.
"Katha!" And Katha was kissed
by a warm, laughing, red mouth.
"Oh, it's grand to see you!"
Lois was small and vivid. She
wore a leopard coat over a simple
brown dress and a brown felt hat
with an upturned brim. Always
Richard Carruth boasted of Lois
in his letters to New Hampshire.
A wholesome kid be had written
many times, who liked sports and
he
She hooked her arm through
Katha's. "Dad was sorry he
couldn't meet you. Business, you
know. And Mother and Millicent
—" She frowned. "Well, you see,
they're having people in for cock-
tails. People for you to meet. So
t:.::-, sent nee. ."
"I'm glad they sent you," Katha
said. People for you to meet .. .
Her heart jumped. To walk into
a room filled with strange people
had always terrified her. Shy,
small town girl, she thought. Coun-
try bumpkin. She'd probably
stumble and drop things and not
know what to say..
A long sleek black car with a
chauffeur at the wheel waited.
Soon it was moving down Park
avenue... .
Katha said, "Remind me not to
stretch my neck, Lois. I haven't
been in New York for eleven
years."
"I'11 take you all around. We'll
have fun."
"ROW is Urge,1e 13ic arts? How
are !trot Evelyn and Millicent?"
And as soon as the questions fell
from her lips, she felt Lois tight-
en.
"You mustn't call her Aunt Eve-
lyn, Katha. Just call her Evelyn.
Dad is fine but terribly busy all
the time. Millicent is always busy,
too, all the time — busy doing
nothing."
She's unhappy, Katha thought.
With all that Richard and Evelyn
had given her, she was unhappy.
After a while Lois said, "I real-
ly insisted on meeting• you because
there are some things I wanted to
tell you. Our lives are so different
from yours. I was with you only a
couple of days last summer but I
liked the way you live. It was
peaceful and—and sane. We. live",
--f she--ga•Tee.a•art.-littlelaugh •
—
` oh, I don't know, Iike crazy peo-
ple. You see, they don't approve
of me. Mother and Millicent, I
mean."
"Don't approve of you?" Katha
asked. She stopped looking at
buildings and hurrying people and
looked directly into Lois' pretty,
earnest little face.
"No Social Butterfly"
"I don't care about parties and
clothes. Mother thinks I'm hope-
less. When I go down to the farm
Dad has in Maryland, I never want
to leave. I love the life down
there, living in riding clothes, fool-
ing with the horses and dogs." She
wrinkled her little nose and grin-
ner:. ' :'cs:t, I'm talking a lot. But
I ;...- ::r"x. be a social butterfly
like.7.1i:tieent. But, Iiatha, I
didn't insist on meeting you to talk
about myself. I wanted to warn
you not even to look at Kemp
Loring. Millicent's in love with
him and if you look at hint twice,
she'll have her claws on you."
Katha thought, "What am I go-
ing into?" she said, "But I'm just
a poor relation, Lois."
"Yes, but you're too lovely look-
ing." And Lois was thinking how
Evelyn had received the news of
Katha's visit, how she had crud.
"But, Richard, what will I do with
the child? Oh, I'm sure she's a
darling and I know she's your sis-
ter's child, but what will I do with
her? She's been nowhere and
she'll probably look frightful and
Millicent will be embarrassed be-
fore her friends. Why did you
have to invite her here? You
could have sent her a check for a
trip or. . ." But Richard had
said quietly but firmly. "I invit-
ed her and she's coming. She's
lovely. If anything, Millicent's
friends will probably embarrass
her." Millicent's flippant remarks
to her friends had drifted to Lois,
"I don't know if I can make it,
darling. I've a country couei:i
coining and I don't know how she'll
turn out. Of course Father in-
sisrs on lily being sweet to her."
The ear stopped before a tall
white building. Katha followed
Lois' trim little figure inside and
to the elevator. Up. Up.
She held her breath until the ele-
vator stopped. Then a door swung
open and she found herself stand-
ing at the entrance o the largest!
toGel.est •2`0511 she Tied ten ` e'en,
a room alive with people talking
between sips of cocktails. Jewels
sparkled on wrists and fingers.
'Pee Melte was thick,
Then she saw Aunt Evelyn. No,
just Evelyn, she thought quickly.

And she tried to hide a smile be
cause Evelyn's hair was pale yel-
low now, She was very thin in the
clinging blue velvet gown.
The Country Cousin
The slender blonde girl dressed
in black with pearls at her throat
was unmistakably Millicene be-
cause she was Evelyn twenty years
younger. And Millicent was talk-
ing to a tall, handsome, dark-
haired man. Kemp Loring? Katha
wondered. Don't eyen look at him,
she thought.
Then Evelyn saw her.
Bill McMillan looked at the en-
trance just then, too, seeing Lois
with a strange, black -haired girl.
'GVas she the country cousin Milli-
cent had been laughing about?
She couldn't be! .And yet she must
be... And Bill McMillan thought,
"Katha Lodge doesn't know it yet,
but she has the last laugh, She's
beautiful. Look at Evelyn putting
on the grand act of welcoming
her...."
Evelyn was saying to Iiatha,
"Darling, I'm delighted! How are
dear Grace and John? And the
twins? I've never seen them, you
know. You were very tiny when
I saw you last. Do come and meet
everybody. Richard isn't here
but I expect him any moment."
She took Katha from one group
to another. Finally they came to
the end of the room where Mill -
fond of Lois. "You sari never :fore
get that Lois isn't your .own sister,
can you? But sne's a credit to
ou, a swen kid."
Richard Carruth, gray. -haired,
brown -eyed, distinguished, Canis
in, wont directly to Katha with
his hands outstretched, embraced
her, and kissed her, And Katha
thought, "1 believe I'm going to
cry," because his arms were so
loving, because she knew now that
]Evelyn and Millicent had not
w.iuted her and resented her, that
Evelyn was being the actress she
could be, and that 1M1illlcent would
not even pretend to be friendly..
Richard smiled down at her.
"You look great. You're the only
girl here except Lois who looks
as if she gets enough sleep. Eve-
lyn and N.iillicent go onnervous
energy. When this mob Blears out,
Kathe, we'll have a quiet family
dinner and you can tell me about
the folks at home. I'm delighted
you're here."
But when the guests left, Mill-
icent, it appeared, had left with
them. Though nothing was said
at dinner, Katha recognized the
snub. During dinner, Evelyn fre-
quently consulted her watch.
Richard, though he looked tired,
talked animatedly. Lois smiled
across the table at Katha and
talked. Kathy felt the tightness
in her ease a little. At least she
had Uncle Richard and Lois...
After dinner Evelyn disappear-
ed and appeared again in Rich-
ard's study. She had changed from
the blue velvet to gold lace.
"Katha dear, I'in so sorry to be
leaving but I've had this theatre
engagement for weeks.
Katha promptly forgot her.

ieent stood with Kemp Loring and
Bill McMillan.
Coolly Millicent said, "Hello,
Katha. How nice to see you."
Katha looked at the two young
men. Both 'were tall, both were
handsome. Kemp Loring's hair
was as black as his eyes. Bill Mc-
Millan's hair was not blond, not
brown but bronzed, she decided.
Ile had a swift, charming smile.
When Evelyn had led her to
another group, Bill said, "So she's
from a hamlet in New Hampshire."
His blue eyes mocked Millicent.
"You'll have to eat all the cracks
you've made" about her. I think
she's swell."
Millicent shrugged. "She does-
n't know anything. How could
she? She's never been anywhere."
"She doesn't have to know
much," Bill said. "You can just
look at her."
"You'll probably get enough of
lcoking at her. She'll be here a
month. And any time you want
to take her off my hands...."
He grinned. "You've got some-
thing there."
She looked up at Kemp, who
had not said anything, and saw
that he was looking at Katha
across the room.
"Kemp, let's go. I couldn't pos-
sibly stay home for dinner. Father
will want to know all about his .
New England relatives. Poor
Mother. Of course Lois eats it up,
too. You'd think .they were her
own relatives."

Richard filled his pipe. Lois sat
on a low stool before the fireplace.
The hours passed in talk. And
often Katha thought, "Mother was
right. Uncle Richard and Lois are
very close."
They said good night before
Millicent or Evelyn came in and
Lois went to Katha's room with
her. Her room... It was too fra-
gile, too beautiful to be lived in.
There were deft touches of blue
to relieve the dead white of the
modern furniture, and tonight the.
long-stemmed red roses in a tall
white vase on the table beside the
low broad white bed edict' an elec-
tric touch of brightness.
Lois said, "Just phone when
you want breakfast in the morn-
ing. You'll like Harriet. She's our
best maid." •
Katha nodded. A maid, break-
fast in bed. . . It was unreal.
But she welcomed the softness
and warmth of the bed and the
quiet and darkness, "Of all the
people I met today I can remem-
ber only Bill McMillan and Kemp'
Loring. And Bill McMillan is the
kind of pian Mother warned me
about, a playboy, and Kemp Lor-
ing is the man Millicent's in love
with." She yawned, closed her

Good Looks

YOUR HAIR
Nothing so detracts from a wo-
man's appearance as a dull and a
faded head of hair. It is so unneces-
sary, nowadays.
The secret of really shining hair
is brushing — vigorous, persistent.
and frequent. Don't be afraid if a
few strands fall out. Some will fall
every day, no matter how healthy
ybnr head and hair may be,
Brushing Does It
Keep your hair brushes immacu-
lately clean; wash then otfeu. And
be sure to brush your hair away
from the head—not down on it.
If you put a drop or two of bril-
liantine .on your brush, you will
ensure a lovely sheen.
' Dandruff is the chief hair worry.
Despite general belief, it is NOT
caused by dryness, but by a germ
in the upper layer of the skin. To
cure dandruff, massage with hot oil
three times a week. Very little oil
is needed; heat two tablespoonfuls
of olive oil, pour into a saucer, and
get to work.
If you have dry hair, scalp mas-
sage is called for; place your fin-
gers firmly on your scalp, and ro-
tate the scalp itself — do not rub.
Continue this treatment twice a
day for a week or two, then grad-
ually reduce the frequency.

Bad Cranberries
Don't Bounce
There are machines for count-
ing, weighing, wrapping and box-
' ing all kinds of fruit and now
comes one which tests the ripeness
of cranberries.
American growers of these ber-
ries say that a sound cranberry
will "bounce" several inches, and
that the soft or over -ripe cranber-
ry will not "bounce" at all. -'
Since cranberries are crated. by
the hundred, it would be .almost
impossible to test each berry. So
once again the machine has come
to the fruit packers' aid and one
has been invented to "bounce"
the cranberries, with packers,
watching to remove the soft fruit.
