At the invitation of her wealthy
uncle, Richard Carruth, and his
foster -daughter Lois, Katha Lodge
leaves her New Hampshire ham-
let for a month's visit in New
York. Lois meets her at the train
and on the way to the Carriiths'
Park Avenue penthouse warns her
to call her aunt Evelyn, not Aunt
Evelyn. Katha is interested of
course in Kemp Loring as Lois had
told her she'd better not look at
Kemp twice or Evelyn's daughter
Millicent would have her claws
out. And Bill McMillan—she likes
him. Her Uncle Richard arrives
late in the afternoon and greets
her sincerely. Millicent goes out
with Kemp. Early next day Bill
phones Katha, making a date for
evening. Lois explains Evelyn's
nervousness by saying she happen-
ed upon Eric Carlton and Evelyn
while he was kissing her. Lois
confides that she loves Terry Reese
a college student with little money
whom she met while horseback rid-
ing in the park. Bill takes Katha
out for two evenings together. He
kisses her the second night. She
knows now she loves him.
CHAPTER X
Wearing brown breeches, a
.brown coat, and a brown felt hat
with an upturned brim, Lois came
to Katha's room when the latter
was having breakfast the follow-
ing morning.
VT" didn't 641" bir-ti go ridih ' '
with me," she said. "I thought
you'd be too tired."
Katha put down the glass of or-
ange juice.
"Was Terry in the park this
morning?"
Lois shook her head. "No." And
because she couldn't bear to think
of his not being there and how
frantically and hopefully she had
looked for him, she said, "Are you
going to the Henshaws' tonight
with Bill? Mother and Millicent
are going. I heard thein talking
about it."
"Pil have to have a new dress.
Will you go shopping with me to-
day?"
"You may wear one of mine.
I've several I've never worn. I'm
not going tonight." She smiled
wistfully. "I never know what to
say at parties and I think every-
body knows I'm self-conscious,
and I know that Mother and Mill-
icent are disapproving of me. I'in
not shy with just a few people or
with you. I wasn't shy with Ter-
ry. I talked and talked to him. I
can talk to Bill, Too."
Bill .... Katha felt her heart
rise. Bill . . . . Iast night . . .
the long, tender, passionate kiss...
A Very Long Day

SIMPLE SIT-DOWN EXERCISES
Many correspondents plead that
they are too busy to devote pro-
longed periods each day to strenu-
ous exercises. They ask for exer-
cises that, while beneficial can be
sandwiched into odd moments of
the day. Here, therefore, are some
sit-down exercises.
To strengthen abdominal mus-
cles: sit with body erect, feet flat
on floor, and pull in the abdominal
muscles as hard as you can, trying
to make the front muscles touch
the spine. Do this about ten times,
then rest for a few moments. Re-
peat frequently during the day and
see how your posture improves,
To strengthen the abdomen and
back: sit erect with knees apart
and hands on knees. Bend head for-
ward, round the back and pull in
abdominal muscles hard. Then Lift
entire upper torso from pelvis up-
ward, keeping abdomen flat, push
lower back forward, draw chest up
and out and raise head up and back
and do NOT hunch shoulders. Feel
the pull from the lowest vertebrae
of the spine. Do this five times,
rest and repeat five times.
These exercises can be carried
out at odd times when you are sit-
ting down -- and you'll be surpris-
ed how many opportunities you will
find as each day rolls along!

me a dress for tonight, I'll have
more money to spend on gifts to
take home," Rome , ... A little
remote and dim now because of
Bill. Only he was close.
"Maybe I'll go back with you,"
Lois said, pulling off her hat.
"Maybe it would be good for me
to get away from the—the park.
I'm going to get a bath and some
breakfast. Then you can come in
and decide what you want to wear
tonight." Grinning, she said, "Bill
likes black. I heard him say once
that he did." As she went out,
she turned, "I suppose Dad got to
Chicago all right."
For Katha that day was incred-
ibly long. She talked a little with.
Evelyn, and Millicent, pausing to
chat before she went to her French
lesson, seemed slightly less frigid
that usual. In the afternoon Katha
walked, peering in windows and
glancing up at the awesome build-
ings. But her mind was not on
lovely things displayed in shop
windows nor on the heights of
buildings nor on passing people.
Bill was in her heart and in her
mind. . . .
You could not tell love to go
away, that you would have none
of it. Persistent little god, Love.
But Katha told herself, "I'll get
no permanent happiness from lov-
ing him. I just have this month in
New York. It's like building a
house on sand."

From Bill .... with love."
The Jitters
Lois greeted Bill when he came
that night.
Bill said, "Hi, kid."
And Lois curled up on the divan
and her eyes held a secret amuse-
ment. She had never seen him
nervous before. Steel -nerved Bill,
whose game of tennis had thrilled
her often, whose polo was a little
breath -taking. Now Bill had the
jitters over Katha.
When Katha came in, wearing
the sweeping, graceful black dress
with narrow black velvet straps
across her creamy shoulders, Lois
wished that suddenly, miraculous-
ly she could be transported else-
where. Because Katha was walk-
ing toward Bill as if she were in
a dream. .
She said, "Excuse me. Have a
good time," and left them.
Bill caught Katha's hands. How

soft and shiningL_l• ws e tiny

He did not want to take her to
Henshaws'. He wanted to take her
he did not know exactly where,
but some place where it was quiet
and beautiful to tell her all the
things that beat in his heart and
ask her to marry him at once be-
cause the day had been unendur-
able without her. Today had been
the longest day of his life. He'd
counted hours. He had tried to
read. He had taken a walk. But
he couldn't ask her to marry him
until he'd seen his Uncle George
who had gone down to Asheville
to escape the cold. It was futile
to telephone him because he was
deaf and he knew his uncle's sec-
retary would never see it. He'd
have to go to Asheville and—and
he didn't want to leave Katha!
He asked, "What did you do
today?" because he had to say
something.
"Do I have to give an account?"
He shook his head. "No." Then:
"You do look Lovely...."
She laughed quickly. Lois'.
And it fits! Thank you for the
orchids, Bill, When I'm back in
New Hampshire, I'll remember
that you sent nie the first orchids
I ever had."
"The first but not the last."
In The Ballroom
Kitty and Fred Henshaw had a
magnificent furnished town house.
It seemed filled almost to capacity,
when Katha met her hostess, who
was red-haired and dressed in
green, and her host, a large, san-
dy -haired man who spoke with a
southern drawl. Bill spoke to
everyone and everyone spoke to
him as he and Katha walked from
the hall to the ballroom.
"Your relatives," Bill said.
She followed his eyes to Eve-
lyn, wearing white satin and danc-
ing with Eric, to Millicent, wear-
ing blue chiffon and dancing with
Kemp. Evelyn saw her and wig-
gled her fingers in greeting. Mill-
icent smiled her bored smile. But
Kemp's smile was warns and
friendly.
Bill said, "We'll talk to them
later—if you want to."
As she placed her hand on his
shoulder, she thought, "I don't
want to: I—I just want to be
with you."
Pacing Up to the Issue

to Kemp's. "I suspect you like tair

go somewhere where we can talk,
darling."
They left the ballroom and went
to the library where Fhe warmed
her hands against the fire and
then turned and looked at him,
Kemp lighted a cigarette.
"Don't you think we've been
evading the issue long enough,
Millicent?" he said slowly. "I've
asked you to marry me and go to
California to live. Pm going back
in three and a half weeks, I had
orders today."
"Oh, hemp...
"Three and a half weeks for
you to choose between New York
and me, That's it, darling. But
you don't want to leave New
York, your mother, your friends,
your life here. You think you'll
be lonely and won't know anybody
out there. You're afraid that out,
there people won't know or care
you're Richard Carruth's daugh-
ter. Millicent, I know you, I
know you're spoiled and pamper-
ed. I even know that you're quite
a snob. But I happen to be ter-
ribly in love with you and I know
that beneath your snobbery, you
are really very sweet. I also know
that you are terribly in love with
me."
There was shame in her eyes.
"I do love you, Kemp. I always
shall. But to go so far away ...."
A flame went up his tanned
face. "I've heard that for a month
and I'ni sick of hearing it! A girl
who is truly in love will go any-
where with the man she loves—
anywhere!

ing you to go out into the wil-

She stiffened. "Katha? Oh!
You've thought a good bit about
her haven't you? You like her,
too! What a pity you didn't meet
her first!"

She brushed by him. "Well, if
Your Birthstone
The Topaz
If You Were Born Under the
Sign a Sagittarius
Topaz the birthstone for the
Sagittarius folk (born between
• November 21st and December
21st) has 'she wonderful golden
tones of autumn in its glowing
light,
The true nan'ie is "topaz
quartz", "citrine quartz", or "cit -
rine". Pliny says that the name
Topaz originated in the word
"Topazein", meaning "to seek",
probably because the first locality
in which it was found was the Is-
land Topazes in the Red Sea,
Like the Ruby, the Topaz is
supposed to have the power of giv-
ing out light. The Topaz has al-
ways been the symbol of friend-
ship.
There has long been a tendency
to call all yellow stones "Topaz"
—especially the transparent yel-
low quarts. Contrary to the gen-
eral opinion, Topaz is often color-
less or very pale in tint.
Most Topazes cone from Brazil,
while the yellow and colorless
Topaz is found in Ceylon. Fine
blue Topaz conies from the Ural
Mountains in Russia and from the
San Diego County in California.
Less important sources of Topaz
are: Scotland, Ireland, Colorado,
Africa, Burma, Australia, Mada-
gascar, Japan and India — and
some come from Mexico.
'Spoke at Birt;
The story of a boy who "spoke
at birth" in a local hospital has
excited superstitious people in
Jhansi, India. No sooner was he
born, so the report goes, than he
said, "Who shall I eat—mother
or father?"

Temporary Blindness
Katha's hand rested firmly on
Bill's shoulder. Live for the mo-
ment, she was thinking. Live this
sudden love to the last moment,
bitter or sweet. She remembered
what she had said to her mother,
"I won't be blinded by the glit-
ter." She hadn't been. Nor was
she envious. Not glitter but fall-
ing in love with Bill against her
wishes and against her good sense
had temporarily blinded her. Oh,
but she would get over it! Time,
the great healer, would see to
that. But how could she when she
had lost her heart in a little
Bohemian restaurant to the music
of "Ich Liebe dich" with Bill look-
ing at her tenderly?
The orchestra was playing, "I
know you're the only one ...."
Bill smiled. That was right. But
he wouldn't say it—yet. And he
was too young and too happy and
too optimistic to think that per-
haps by the time he did say it it
might be too -too late.

look eagerly through the throng.
For her mother, she guessed.
Evelyn and Eric saw her, too,
and stopped dancing and went to
her. They talked for a few mo-
ments and Millicent turned away.
Evelyn looked pale and alarmed
but Eric spoke to her and they
began to dance again.
Shortly after, Kemp Loring
touched Bill's shoulder and said,
"May I, old pian? You can't have

And Katha was transferred to

Christmas Dinner Contest Winners
Among hundreds of entries that
flooded in for our Christmas. Din,
nor Menu contest, the judge, Mrs,
B. M. Aitken, who is staff " ell -
flan and radio eominentatorr for
the Canada Starch Conipany,
chose the tasty (yurnl yam!) one
submitted by Miss Sadie Chambers
of Arthur, Ontario,, as the best.
Miss Chambers receives the $5.00
prize. Second prize of $3 gods to
Miss Janet Whitelaw, R. R, 1, El-
ora, Ontario, Mrs, S. 'T. Jordan,
of Markham, comes third ($2).
There are good cooks in Can-
ada, we discovered. Mrs. Aitken
found it a most difficult job to
narrow the contest down to three
prize -winners so high was the
standard of excellence shown by
the average entry, She therefore
firs, eliminated the menus that
were not so well balanced, then
concentrated on those that were
simple as well as delicious. Final-
ly the individual recipes were
judged on their own proved merit.
This week we are giving you
Miss Chambers' prize menu with
accompanying recipes, all profes-
sionally tested. Next week, as
suggestions for New Year's din-
ner, we will run the other two
winning entries.
