BEATRICE FABER
CHAPTER ONE
She would have been a lovely
ornament to any society,, Admir-
ers had likened her to a birch
'tree in the breeze, to a poem set
to music.
But it was Philadelphia's ex-
clusive Main Line social set which NI
claimed Tracy Lord for its own.
And today the suburb of the rich
was all a-gog with gossip. Tracy
was being married again, tomor-
row at high noon.
Would she really go through'
with- it? Remember how she'd
ducked out on hetfirst wedding?
She and Dexter Haven had eloped
at the very last minute, leaving
all the guests stranded in the
Lord drawing room, waiting for
a bride who had never appeared,'
Well, the couple's irresponsibility
had been an ill omen. The mar-
riage was over within the year
and now Tracy was trying again
.., . this time with George Kitt-
redge, a self-made coal opeator.
Queer, that. "Thee man had no
family, no background. But then
Tracy was always doing the un-
predictable ..
At the far end of the stable -
yard, Tracy switched her riding
crop and thought over, word for
word, what her friends were say-
ing. Oh well, you couldn't stop
tongues from wagging. She smil-
ed and waved to George, who
was standing near the saddled
horses. He'd make a wonderful
husband, utterly unlike Dexter.
George had character. He believ-
ed in the high standard that
Tracy set for herself, her family
and her friends. What was more,
he'd live up to them.
DINAH LIKES DEXTER
She tweaked the ear of her
little ten year old sister Dinah.
"Can Tracy pick them or can't
she?" she asked softly.
Dinah made a face. She was
still enamored of Dexter and
brazenly wore her heart on her
. pinafore sleeve, `If you're asking
Inc..."
"I'm not," Tracy retorted and
walked over to join George.
Then, with a quizzical smile, she
looked hint over. "Darling, you
look like something out of a store
window." She grabbed up some
dirt and rubbed it over his tun -
maculate riding breeches, "Now,
that's more like it."
His handsome face broke into
a rueful grin. "I don't get it.
When I was a coal miner, the
idea was to get enough dough
so you could buy clean clothes
and now that I'm general manag-
er—" He broke off and held up
a copy of "Spy" magazine. "Not
a thing in here about the wed-
ding."
Tracy was startled. "What do
you mean?" •
"Oh I thought maybe," George
was having a bit of difficulty
explaining, "you being Practi-
cally the oldest family in Phila-
delphia ` and me ,getting fairly
important myself- -"
Tracy grabbed the magazine
from him, threw it to the ground
and stamped on it. "Ugh! George
Kittredge( you get on that horse.
Of all the filthy ideas — having
that snooping magazine write us
up, sending their camera people
into our private home life — the
He
` squinted at her comically.
:What would happen if I got it
into my head some day to go
into politics?"
She dropped a kiss on his
Cheek. "You'd be elected Presi-
dent."
That brought a modest smile to,
his lips, "Oh I don't know. But I
mean about publicity."
"Not in my home."

There was a funny little pause.
Then he asked "You mean our
home, don't you?"
Instantly, her violet eyes beg-
ged forgiveness, "Sorry dear,"
she said huskily, "I mean vary
much our home,"
George turned to the groom
and motioned him away. "I'll get
up myself, Eddie." •
The .mounting was a obit dif-
ficult, unaccustomed as he was to
public riding and Dinah shouted
out, "Grab the bridle George. Put

Walter 'P, Zeller, national cam

declared that an average cash su

There is no other measure for it,
The task of financing it must be

every cent they can spare. Those
who felt that the purchase of a

he said. The committee's appeal is
for the purchase r certilfeates,

'Plain Cooking
Made Subime
The World's. Best Chefs Have
Secrets That Will Help the
Ordinary Housewife Vaatly
improve Her Culinary Skill
In order to achieve perfect
turtle; soup, the unfortunate tur-
tle should not be killed till after
sunset, That's one of the secrets
of the highly paid chefs.
We have scant tiro, however,
to bother about elaborate .cook-
ing details these days, but the
chefs have many tips to give us
which will vastly improve so-call-
ed plain cooking,
THE PROFESSIONAL TOUCH
"There are so many simple
things' that plain cooks don't
know," a chef declares. For in•
"stance, why permeate the whole
house with the smell of boiled
cabbage when a small piece of
charcoal •in the water will entire-
ly eliminate any odour?
"Again, how many cooks know
that a pinch of salt added to the
coffee on its last boil raises it
from the ordinary to the sub-
lime? Row . many know that the
addition of half a teaspoon of su-
gar or a few drops 'of lemon juice
1n boiling green vegetables will
preserve the natural colours."
And here's a tip about onions:
Tears can be avoided by holding
O piece o£' onion skin lightly be-
tween the teeth while peeling
those powerful vegetables.
•FOR GREEN VEGETABLES
"It's usually little things that
amateur cooks overlook," con-
cluded my .informant, "Hard-
boiled eggs should be boiled in
well -salted water, or they won't
be hard. Eggs intended for an
omelette must be kept in a dark
place if you want a real omelette.
"A radishshould be eaten with
at Ieast half an inchof the green
foliage left on. It makes it
easily digestible.
"Cheese should never be kept
in a refrigerator: A. little vine-
gar on a fillet of fish will pre-
vent it sticking to the grilling
iron."
Beauty In Spite
Of The Sniffles
You Can Make Yourself Rea-
sonably Presentable Even if
You Have a Bothersome Head
Cold
The very best thing to do when
you have a cold is to take the
doctor's advice and stay in bed .un-
tiI you get rid of it.
If this isn't possible, however,
the next thing yen can do is to
figure put a way to make yourself
reasonably presentable before you
let anyone outside the family see

to subject others to your coughing

them to a red -eyed, shiny -nosed

FRESHENING HAIR
Thanks to dry shampoo, it's a
simple matter to freshen up your
hair, oven though washing it is
against the doctor's rules. -
With your hair clean and free
from oil—if not beautifully set—
you can turn your attention to your
slightly sw.,ll'n face.
First, rinse your eyes with a
soothing lotion, then put he' pads
on them for a few seconds. Your

will decrease the swollen areas.
Cold ones won't,

Homey Dishes
For The Family
From Christmas On we have
been doing a great deal of discuss-
ing about Company dishes and sug-
gesting menus for St. Valentine's,

sake,
VEGETABLE CASSEROLE
Place in a casserole alternate
layers of carrots, potatoes and on-
ions, sprinkling both layers with
salt and pepper and grated cheese.
Sonne chopped parsley added to
each layer also adds zest. Cover
with scalded milk until even with
the top layer. Cover and bake in
a slow oven for one hour. Be sure
to sprinkle some grated cheese on
top—and dots of butter.
This dish stands high !n food
merit—for the vegetable juices are
retained—the adding of the milk
is helping to keep up the farnily
milk quota and it is economical.
Served with bacon or cold meat, it
makes a perfect balanced meal.
IRISH STEW & DUMPLINGS
Melt 2 tablespoons shortening in
frying pan (a deep one if possible).
Add 1 ]b. of round steak eut in

• Slip Cover Makes
New Studio Couch
At Least It Looks Entirely
Different—Use
• Striped Fab-
ric For Cover
You can give your studio couch
a new square look when you make
that nest slip cover,
It's a tricky idea aud easy to exe-
cute. You change the appearance
by using a et-iped fabric for the
cover.
You match stripes into diamoiu&
shaped squares on the top of the
cover, but make the ,stripes run
borizontally around the sides.
Eight yards of Winch fabric will
be enough material. The cost will
be about six dol1are if you do the
simple sewing at your machine and
make use of the attachments,
ON YOUR SEWING 1b11CIHINE
For n four -by -six couch, cut four
square pieces of equalsfze to cover
the top, allowing an inch on all
sides for seams. In matching the
pieces, allow the* stripes of two
squares to go one way, the others
at right angles, Stitch tlie.ge to-
gether half an inch from the edge
with flat inside seams.
For the skirt, cut two 30 -by -22 -
inch pieces so that stripes are
horizont,.l along the 22 -inch sides.
Then cut four pieces the same
length but only 37 incites wide.
Stitch two of these into one strip
74 incites long and 22 inches wide
and the remaining two piece; the
same way.
No* you can join the four long
and abort strips and stitch them
with the cording foot attachment
into a box-il1ce arrangement. The
skirt is joined to the top with a
corded edge.
Revenue From Cars

Motor car revenue in Ontario
has increased $18,000,000 during
the past five years, Hon, T. 13,
McQuesten, minister of highways,
informed the Ontario 1oadbuild-
ers' association, "Revenue from
motor cars in Ontario has daub -

It is true that we increased the
gasoline tax two cents but we
