Lois meets her at the train and on the way to the Carruths' Park Avenue penthouse warns her to call her aunt Evelyn, not Aunt Evelyn. They enter a great room filled with friends of Evelyn and her daughter Milli- cent who are there for cocktails. Katha is interested in Kemp Lor- ing as Lois had told her she had better not look at Kemp twice or Millicent would have her claws out. And Bill McMillan — she likes him but wonders whether this wealthy boy isn't merely planning to amuse himself with her, Her Uncle Richard arrives late in the Afternoon and greets her as sin- cerely as Lois had. Evelyn pleads an engagement immediately after dinner and evidently considers her niece's visit a trial. Millicent doesn't even remain home for din- ner, going out with Kemp. Katha has a pleasant evening chatting with her uncle and Lois. Early next day McMillan phones Katha and makes a date for evening. Lois explains Evelyn's nervousness by saying she happened upon Erie Carlton and Evelyn while he was kissing her. Eric is younger than Evelyn but they go together con- stantly to parties while Richard is engrossed in business. Lois con- fides that Terry Reese, a college student with little money, whom she met while horseback riding in the park, has been avoiding her since he learned her father was so wealthy. -- CHAPTER VII Evelyn, her jewels and her gold sheath of dress shimmering in the pale light. came in with tall, blond Eric Carlton. But they did not see Katha who was standing at the far corner of the long room still wear- ing her long black velvet coat. Katha slid not turn to see them. She was still thinking of Bill. She did not know who it was until Ev- elyn spoke. Then she felt , rn 0.nd miserabYa.` - ,•:,CI Evelyn's voice was hushed but breathless. "You shouldn't have come up, Eric! It's terribly late ... We stayed much too long. Suppose Richard or one of the servants .. Say good night quickly. I'm so tired . Oh, darling .... " Katha felt that surely they could hear her heart -beats.

With Bill,. tonight in the funny lit- tle place with the German love song being played to them had been sweet and beautiful. But how ugly it had been to hear Evelyn, Richard's wife, say hi Richard's home to another man, "Oh, darling " But her own disgust was small to the fear that Richard him- self would come to know. She was about to turn and go to her room when the door opened again. Again she stood. still and tense but she was not surprised that the voice that spoke was Mil- Iicent's. Where Evelyn and Eric had stood Millicent now stood with Kemp and said, "We've done nothing but just quarrel all day= and all night." "I asked you ... " "And 1 can't tell you! I dont know!" He flared. "Won't You know?" The door slammed atfer him. Then Katha heard the sound of Miilicent's high tlydels i q er;-y# �, bare; ori htlypO isheci floor. Enchantment Iiatha forgot how sleepy she was when several hours later she was riding in the park with Lois, wear- ingn Lois' brown boots and breech- es and her brown checked coat. The air was cool and clean like the air of New Hampshire when it promises snow, she thought. And through the mist the tops of tall buildings seemed very remote -like • castles in the clouds you'd. vision- ed in fairy tales when you were very young. And today and tonight and to- morrow she would see Bill. she was thinking. This enchantment must not last., plus: not grow! • Lois brought her ho: o alongside, "Did you and Bill have fun last night?" Then she laurl:ed. Why, you're bit skiing!" Katha's eyes were 'lark and eery bright. "Small-town girl fall, in love with a rich playboy the first date she has with hint.

"I've never even heard any scandal about him. Of course he's gone with a lot of girls ,e • • •"Yes, I'm sure he likes variety." They rode on without speaking for quite some time. Then Katha saw Lois stiffen. Following her eyes, she saw them riveted on an approaching rider. Ile came closer, a lean, brown -clad, hatless young man . . , It must be Terry Reese! And she saw that he, too, was also straining his eyes through the very thick mist ... Lois tightened the reins and sat, slim and boyish -looking, awaiting his approach. Katha thought, "I like her humility. Love does that to you. She could ride by him very proudly, being Richard Carruths' daughter .... „ A Stiff Meeting Lois said, "Hello, Terry." And when he stopped and smiled, she introduced him to Katha, who liked him at once. Then Lois said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Terry." His brown eyes looked into hers. "I haven't been riding much late- ly. Studying, you know. Haw've, you been?" Words. Empty words, Iiatlta was thinking. She knew that Lois want- ed to cry, "Why don't you see me? I've been out almost every morning Iooking for you. Don't be stubt,oru- Iy proud. 'Why do you let it matter that I am Lois Carruth?" Terry said after a moment of parties.

When they went as far as the elevator with him; he said, "Lois tell your mother there's a possibil- ity 1'11 go to Chicago today. I'll call her, of course, but she may be out." Katba went to her room, This wasn't a home. Would being • mar - vied to 13111 be like this? Why did wealth separate man and Wife and set them on different tracks?

Oh, keep him away from her heart! Laugh with him and dance with him but don't let him near her heart! She wrote to her mother, slept a little, and awakened with a start realizing that it was only half an hour before Bili would call for her. The Man Himself An hour later, wearing a wine - colored dress and a small dark hat, she sat opposite him in a popular eating place. And now sbe knew that it had not been the glamour of last night, the music, the wine, the series of places he had taken her which had stirred her so.

At home she had liked to dance with Larry, she had admired Tom's big shoulders, she had liked to hear laugh laugh, and she had liked to talk books with Paul.

He looked at his watch. "Hey, your education is being neglected. Didn't 1 promise to show you the town?" As they went out, they passed Millicent and Kemp. Millicent said to Kemp, "Well, it looks as if their first date went off successfully." - Kemp said, "When those keen eyes of Bill's miss you, it must be love." He looked across the table at her pale hair—a frame around her lovely face. "We're doing bet- ter ourselves today, darling. We haven't quarreled.

IN SPOTS in trying to re - all you give close posture and car- ,+ -.. _ Surplus fat in various parts of the body is often caused by iacor• rect posture. A double chin is also brought about by constantly hold- ing the head down. Layers of fat accumulate at the part just above the waist, because of wrong car- riage when walking and careless posture in repose. The base at the back of the neck is fatty as the re- sult of incorrect head posjure. Hold your bead erect, chin in, the shouulders back, and your chest high, with abdomen flat. Walk and sit to your full height. Not only will you gain in height but you will gradually flatten out some of those curves of fat you've accumulated. There is no use indulging in vig- orous isorous reducing exercises if your posture is going to offset these ben- efits. Here is a sit-down exercise to bring about a youthful neck and chin. Drop chin forward onto the chest. Then raise head upward and let it fall backward, shin in air. Turn heats sharply to left, then to rigbt and return to first position. Do this five times and repeat the movement several times through- out the day. My leaflet on "Reducing in Spots” gives complete details and suggestions.
