Dian spread out two large. 'blankets
Pill and Pagl found some planks and

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

"We do have our troubles, don't we,
aul?" said Dian,
"You, too?"
"I should say so. I seem now to

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!

"Maybe Fred Mayhew will come

- •
"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

ricked up at will." 'She looked off in

roni certain other people I might

,.When, everything was in readittesi,

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

thought. "The kiss on the beach has

, 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

"How nice."

"Certainly not. But gjad you're to

"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

"That's hard to say. If Andrew

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.

False Faces
A monkey who puts on a man's
clothes is not likely to be mistaken

people can put on a cloak pf potished

sooner or later they will give them-
selves away by acts.of selfishness or
unkindness.

If you think of life as a canvas,
your emotions are the colors which
make it vivid. 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, '
