Fecause of wartime metal

The War Aguinst
Mrs. Badley
Adapted from the MGM Picture
by WiLLIAM McCORMICK
SYNOPSIS:
Mrs. Stella Hadley, a Washing.
ton society matron and staunch
Republican of the old school, feels
that the war is directed against
her personally. She has lost a
man servant in the draft; her
daughter, Patricia, is in love with
a soldier, Mike Fitzpatrick (al-
though Mrs. Hadley doesn't know
this yet); her son, Ted, has been
drafted and the best friend of
the family, Elliott Fulton, for
whom Ted had been working at
the War Department, refuses to
seek his deferment—in fact ad-
mits he is responsible for the
boy being drafted.
CHAPTER FOUR
"Who is this Ulan Teddy's
bringing with hills?" Mrs. Hadley
asked as she and Pat and Cecilia
were driving to her son's Arany
vamp to have dinner.
" Scrg''alt Fitzpatrick," smiled
Pat happily.
"Fitzpattick? isn't: that the
young mon you had at the house
the night of the blackout"" }IPI'
mother asked.
"'I'hnt's right," Pat admitted.
Stella 1ladley, Pat. Cecilia, Mike
And Ted were just finishing their
coffee in the roadhouse near the
camp when Mrs. Hadley asked the
question that almost led to
trouble.

"What did you do before the

"1 was in the advertising de-

Chronicle," replied Hike inno-
cently. Mrs. Hadley recoiled.
"Oh, dear!" thought Pat. "Just
when everything was so peace-
ful." "i',i like to dance," she
said with alacrity to Mike.
'\'hey danced past. a Freuc•h (loot
leading outside. They slipped
out, into a terrace bathed in moon-
light. They walked down the
steps into a garden,
Pat looked up at Mike ahuost
expectantly, "What (lid you want
to tell me'."' she asked almost
eagerly,
"I may be leaving here next
week," he said softly.
A shocked "Oh!" was her reply.
"They're giving Inc my trans-
fer to the Aviation Corps. 'I'hatt

sadly,
"Pat, will you do something. 1'ol'
ole?"
Pat looked at hint eagerly.
"Pat, this war can't last for-
ever. Will you ---will you )fait
for me';"
A look of great happiness carte
into I'nt's face. "Of course not,"
she replied.
"I'm sorry'," said Mike, taken
aback. "1 thought maybe you
cared enough."
"I care too darn much,,' said
Pat tenderly. "You marry ole be-
fore you !wave --or take the con-
sequenees,n
"Was that a proposal?"
"It sounded like it to me."
"Glory be! Come on!"
Pat held him back. "Where
are you going?" she :asked.
"To ask your mother for your
hand its marriage,"
„You'd better let Ole take care
of that later," Pat frowned.
"But it's my ,job,"
"Not in this rare," Pat smiled.
"Don't forget --- I proposed to
you,"
• • •
Patricia broke the news to het
mother after they had returned
home that night.
"Mother, I'yr fallen in 1ofe.o
she said simply.
"With --with that soldier?"
"Yes, Mother."
"Has he asked you to marry
him?" Stella asked fearfully,
"I tasked him. Ile was being
sent out West. 1 couldn't let hint
go without knowing how 1 felt."
"That was very forward and
very indiscreet — and I'nl glad
the young mean is leaving. It will
give you a chance to think things
over."
"i'm going' with him," Pat grin-
ned. "\Ve'll vet married Tiltt,
of course."
"Patricia. I have no intention
of entrusting• your happiness to a
man whom none o1' us knows"
"1 know hint, Ted knows him,

"Elliott knows hint :'"
"Yes. 1 --- 1 introduced him."

grinned a cordial greeting.

"She'll look high and low, hut

Hadley, recoiling• in surprise.

Then call in your professional rug

Here are the Immediate first-
aid treatments for floor coverings:
Dirt Spots: To remove, brush
thoroughly with a soft brush.
Then sponge with warm, mild
soapsuds and rinse carefully with

up the soil with a clean cloth or
blotter as it dissolves.

Spilled ink with blotting paper or
soft cloth. 'Then sponge the spot
with lukewarm water. Old or
stubborn stains should be sept to

A Chat On Desserts
\\'ith the rationing of sugar,
butter aid the scarcity of whip-
ping cream the problem of des-
serts becomes more difficult.
I1,nsserts are of two kinds, those
just to "top off the meal," so to
speak, and those planned from a
calorie or vitamin standpoint to
help balance the meal,
lu I:nglluld a custom prevails
which is one of great coo mo,
sense. Raw fruit is a popular
.dessert and what is more healthful
for all of us? Meals, well hal•'
attced from the protein and carbos
hydrate standpoint, can very
easily be finished with say raw
apples — those lovely red apples,
which especially at this season of
the year make their appearance
with all the extra rosiness that
apples ever bad. 'There is the
"Delicious" apple and many oth-
ers, that are very appetizing and
most healthful for adults and
children. As a nation we have
fallen into a bad habit of thinking
most desserts should be sweet,
This is also the season for the
lovely California grapes. They,
too, make all ideal ending to a
heavy or well balanced. meal.
California also sends us dates and
raisins, which of course are ex-
pensive for those of tis who must
watch our budgets. Oranges are
cheaper now and at the peak of
their season and they lend varia-
tion for most menus.
The English custom of using
crackers and cheese for dessert is:
well worth renumbering. This
will have to be guided by the rest
of your means and would be barred
if your meal is already high in
protein -- meats, beans, peas, etc,
\!any omit the dessert when
using a substantial salad and this
again is a very healthful thing
to tlo for all,
It does seen) unfortunate that
we have not a little extra sugar
for our bountiful Canadian apple
crop, but 1 ant sure the govern.
01001 is doing the very hest for
us they can in this food problem,
1t is a gigantic task for 1 -hem and
after all we have an abundance
of things to cat.
1)' you are a family who does not
insist on sugar in tea, coffee and
cereals, then 1 can assure you with
careful planning you will have
enough sugar for a reasonable
amount of desserts in the simple
category. I mean by this a simple
custard, maybe a ,junket, a little
c'oc'oa, or left over cauulc,l fruit
in the bottom of your custard
cup.
