'blankets Pill and Pagl found some planks and male edit of., learesto, so that they could have shade if they wanted. it. "Imagine having tn island like this to come to,"Bill said. "I should think you kids would have been coming here all the time." "Oh, we came plenty of times," Di: an said. "Especially Paul and some other boys and myself.. I was an ad venturous sort of person, in my im- agination, anyway." She smiled up at Paul. "Reinember the time we had been reading about Cleopatra and Mark Anthony -and how excited .we got?" "Yep!" said Paul.' "And how we persuaded Claire to be Cleopatra." "And placed her in the old flat-bot- tomed boat for her trip down the Nile." "And the boat hit a rock." "And Claire did a dive overboard." "It wasn't so funny, -I'll have you know," Claire cut in. "I nearly drown- ed, with my .draperies getting tang- led in my, feet." She took Bill's' arm. "Come on, Bill, I'll show you the oth- er side of the island. The yhole place isn't much bigger than, a city block." 1,3ill, 'hesitated. "Shouldn't we stay and help?" he said, , • "Trot along," Dian urged. "Paul and I are practical -minded. We'll have things' all settled by the time you get back," She handed Billnan empty pail, "There's a spring on the other side, so while you're there, you might as well bring back some we- er." Bill took the pail, Claire almost tilled him away. "A walk," she said, "will give you an appetite for Mother's marvellous fried. chicken." "I'm starved as it is," he said. Paul watched them move off, and shook his head. "Well, there they o,'' he said wearily, "Buck up," said Dian; "they'll 'be back." . "Sure. Of course. And maybe en- gaged all over again." Dian patted his 'shoulder. lure Bill away after luneh," she said, "and leave you alone with Claire." "Will you, '‘Dian?" Paul brightened. "Thanks a lot," "Haven't you made any progress at all?" Dian asked. "Very litta," said Paul. "I thin,k Mrs. Lester's on, Bill's side, too, I was lone with her for •a little while the other evening, when Clairle was showing Bill their huge grape arbor and-" "Dragging Bill .off to show him things seems to be a habit of Claire's," Dian interrupted. "But pardon roe - o on. You were alone with Mrs. ester. What happened?" "Oh, she pumped me about how lane would have to life if she mar- led me," Paul explained., "and then lade Comparisons. I mean,' she then et me know that Bill had a pent- ouse studio, .that he went to night - lube, gay dieners -things like that. s though Inliden know it nAreade-- Iaire not being .1'1 reticent about he matter." ,• "We do have our troubles, don't we, aul?" said Dian, "You, too?" "I should say so. I seem now to e booked to 'take Aunt Martha's lace as the Ardendale spinster." "Says. Dian," Paul said, looking at ter puzzled, "what's up?" "Oh, pothing at all, except that I've hunch that Aunt 'Martha's going to and Jerome Carr. And that, as you now, will leave little Dian all alone n the world." Dian held up her ard, and smiled. -Wait a minute! o sympathetic tears, please. I've een hoping Jerome would came to appreciate Aunt Martha. But I for - et that if he did, and Aunt Martha ecided to become mistress of the anker's mansion, little Dian would e on her own for, a faCt." "Maybe Fred Mayhew will come ack," said Paul. "sAfter all, he has - 't married theNew .York glamor girl et," - • "And' if he did come hack -what?" "You could 'marry him as planned ack in high school days, and-" "And live scrappily ever after," Di- n cut in. "No, thank you, Paul, I aye no urge to be tossed aside and ricked up at will." 'She looked off in he direction Claire and. Bill had tale n. "That's where I seem to differ roni certain other people I might ention." She lifted' the bowl of pot - to salad from its box, "Oh, well, I an always retire to the farm, and ecome famous as the female hermit ho was disappointed in love-4jilted and what have you." "You toy like a nut!" Paul accus- d. .:Maybe I am one," said Dian. "But ust think what the, generations to ome will have to look forward to. hey can bring parties out to the arm to peer at me. I'll be something f a legend." She turned back to aul. "Imagine, Paul -me a legend. '11 be the woman who lost one would - e husband to a gal on a boat, and 'lather 'would-behusband 'to ./ her unt. And-" "Oh, cut tt," Pant said. "You'll ave me weeping In this coffee pot. d to tenth nit's 'bad for coffee." ,.When, everything was in readittesi, an straightened up and looked a- l!Srsteet Plane," she said softly. "C3ildhoecIt4 paradine. Shall we go for the' ethers» now?" "Yes, let's do," said Paul. "V.'s time they 'were back." They Moved" along a path, sudden- ly silent-eath lost in :thought. They climbed a slight rise and looked to ward the °thd side of the island. .A.t first they. could ,see nothing at all of Bill and Claire. Then -they saw that the two people were evvimming.sBill's arms strong and brown, were rising and. falling in the sunlight. Claire, swimming more slowly, was following him. "They might have wafted' fora us," said 'Paul. "Do stop grouching," Dian said. She started down the path toward the spring, "We might as well fill the pail ourselves, and haye it ready," "Let Bill fill it and carry it him- self," Paul said. "It's time he made himself usefuL" "That's petty:" Dian said. He has made himself useful." "Yes, useful as a-a-bnttinsky," said Paul."Trying to steal My girl -trying toe'---" "Oh, shut up!" Dian said. By now Bill and Claire had come out of thi water. They were stand- ing on the narrow stretch' of sandy beadic Claire took off her bathing cap and shook out her hair. It shone like burnished gold in the sunlight. "Here, Bill," she said, "tie that string there in the back, will you?" She turned her back to Bill. "It's' come loose,". "Yes, ma'am," said; Bill. He step- ped close to Claire, put out his hand, touched her warm soft shoulder. And then she was in his arms. "You're a regular dreyil," he said huskily. , And kissed her. Paul gasped. Then he swore under his breath.. "Why, the, the-" he said. And started down the path. CHAPTER FORTY Dian caught Paul's arm. "Don't make a scene, Paul," she said. "Af- ter all, Claire's of age. She doesn't have to be kissed by Bill if she does- n't want to be. He's done no more than what any other man would do - under, the circumstances.", "You mean to stand there and de- fend him?" said Paul. "I do," said Dian. "But I'd. like to wring Claire's neck," She caught hold of Paul's hand, "Come on, let's go back to the picnic things. There's no need of embarrassing them." "Embarrass them, my eye'!" Paul flared. But he went along with Dian. Neither spoke until they were back where the coffee was beginning to boil, Then Dian tried to get hold of herself. "It looks," he saidL"as though you and I were left holding the bag, so to speak." "Let's not talk about It," said Paul. "I see red' as it is," "We'll have to stick our chins up, and-" "I've stuck naceait, as it is," said Paul. "And .what a waIIop 1 took," "Two Ardendale people,. disappoint- ed in love," said Dian . . . "Shall we organize a club?" n , Paul managed to smile. "Dian," he said, "you're a grand girl." "Thanks," said Dian. She placed four plates -upon the outspread table- cloth. "I can think of only one solu- tion, Paul. I mean to wh-at's happen- ed -me jilted, and you left out in the cold." "Okay, what's the solution?" said Paul. "Let's, have it." -.You'll simply have to marry me," said Dian, "and take me off to •the West Indies." • Flora then on, so, far as Dian and Paul were 'concerned, the day', out- ing was a complete washout. And Dian was ready to pack up and go back toatown the moment the picnic meal was over. Paul felt the same vtaye although neither' one of them voiced what they felt. However, Claire •playe* hostess to the limit. She was the very personi- fication of gaiety. She sometimes ,qruck Dian as verging upon the ,hys- neiical-laughing, chatting, being viv- acious all over the place. "She's Probably made hr , decision," Dian thought. "The kiss on the beach has decided her." And when she wasn't think19, of that, of thing of Bill Rol- lins as a sap, she. was feeling 'sorry for Paul. Poor fellow! He was try- ing his darndest to act as •though nothing had happened -as though he bad not seen, Bill take Claire in, his anus and kis e her -and failing utter- ly. • , Dian presently strolled oft alone. She walked clown to the Water's edge and dove in. She swam out quite a. Way, turned over upon- her back and floated, gazing up into the sky, and euvying the little ptiffy white clouds that drifted here and there. How co& tent and carefree they looked! Hoist Wonderful it would be, she thought, if troubled 'humen beings could go floating Off. like that." ethere!" said n voiee close to her. he turned her head to see that 13111 hind jolted her, • • °HOW she said.

"And sorry it: must all end so soon. Illy car will be ready late to- morrow afternoon." "How nice." "Meaning you're glad, I'll be leper "Certainly not. But gjad you're to bave a car once mere.' One misses a oar, once one's used to having one. It's rather like losing% leg, I imag- ine." "Not a bad comparison, You've, been darned nice to me, Dian. I ap- preciate it" "Oh, it's'only the old southern hos- pitality that's inborn. It's been nice having you to break the monotony." Dian was silent for a moment. "I reckon you'll soon be back in the swing up in New York." "Yes. But •I'm still hoping I can rent your farm one of these days." "Well,' you know where to reach me, if you decide. By the way, how soon do you think you'll have a re - Part on, the picture?" "That's hard to say. If Andrew likes it, he'll probably lose no time in letting me know." hope it'll be soon. I want to make some improvements on the farmhouse and that takes money," Silence 'again. A little white cloud took on size and a slight grayish cov- er, and slid across the sun. When it did,. the world seemed, suddenly to become a depressed sort et place. "Looks like rain," Dian said, "May- be we'd better be. getting back to town." "But the wienies!" Bill said. "We haven't broiled them yet." "I don't feel in a wienie modd," said. Dian. "But if you must, we'd better be seeing to them." She start- ed to swim back to the island, Bill following her. "Are you two ready for the weinie roast?" she celled out - to Paul and Claire as she walked! to- ward .them. "I don't think I could eat another bite of anything," said Paul. He glanced upward 'at the sky "Beaides, it's clouding up. 'We'll ' get chilled through if we're caught out here with nothing on but our bathing suits. May- be we'd better be picking up." • ''Darn it ail," said Clarice,' "I want- ed to stay' out until -the moon came up." "The moon," said Dian, "doesn't rise until late. And if it keeps get- ting cloudy, there won't be any moon et all." "Oh, all right," Claire said reluct- antly. "If you two want to be wet blankets, I suppose we'll have 'to go." She smiled at Bill. "I did .want to sta.yy until night, though," she added, "an -d sing around the campfire. Bill, can people really ,start. fires by rub- bing sticks together?" "So I've heard," Bill said. "Ask Paul, he knows." "Of course they can," said Paul. He turned to Claire. "But for Pete's sake, don't get the idea that's the way 'we start fires in the West In- dies," he added,. "Believe it, or not, we have electric lights and we take bathe in honest -to -goodness tubs' "Really?" said Claire in an exas- Petating tone, "Yes., really," said Paul, in an eq- ually exasperating tone.

In the same • way some people can put on a cloak pf potished manners and false• geniality; but sooner or later they will give them- selves away by acts.of selfishness or unkindness.

But remember, a good artist uses his colors with care aad balance, and, only a second-rate date ber will splash them about all over the place in a series of jarring dis- harmonies. (Continued Next Week) Must Keep Within Butter Ration Butter has taken its place with tea, coffee, and sugar on the list .of ra- tioned foods: Eight ounces or half a pound of butter will be the in:dividual weekly allowance for all holders of ration cards, and the brown coupons marked "Spare C" will he used for purchases of butter. Unlike the cou- pons used foe sugar, tea and coffee, the butter coupons will expire on a definite date. Farmers who make their own but- ter for use at home must keep with- in the ,ration and must detach eau - Pons from "their books and forward them monthly, to the nearest ration- ing office. , If dairy butter is sold by farmers to neighbors or on the local market, the farmer must collect coupons from his customers and must forward them each month to the local rationing of- fice. All farmers who make butter on the farm, must registecr with the nearest local ration °Mee as prociticere of but- ter before January 31st. The bright side of butter rationing for 'dairy farmers is the- news -that the subsidy, now being paid on all cream delivered to creameries for butter, will be increased' from six to ten cents a pound, butterfat. This tefecent subsidy will remain in effect till April 30th when it -will go back to the six cent level, ' Canadians, always largts butter ent- ers, have bought greatly increased amounts of butter dining 1942.
