COPYRIGHT 1931 in, THE eveHog SYNOPSIS Rackruff Motors hire Rowena to accompany Peter on a nation-wide tour in their roadster as an advertis- ing stunt. At the last ,minute. Little Bobby is engaged to act as chaper- on. They are waiting for Bobby to show up to make the start. A few miles out Bobby becomes tearful at being parted from her sweetheart, Rowena insists on tak- ing her place in the rumble so that she can ride with Peter and have him to talk to .about Carter. Rowena . gets Peter to consent to divide the ex- , pense money each week as soon as it arrives, and astonishes Peter by eating too economically. * s: To his intense amazement Rowena flushed hotly and bit her Iip in some confusion, and most surprising of all, said nothing. Already Peter found it amazing when Rowena had nothing to say, Certainly she had plenty to say at Niagara Falls when Peter prepared to do his picture of the Rackruff roadster, with her at the wheel, both showing faintly under a fine mist of falling water. Whenit came to do- ing pictures, Peter was unbearable. Carter himself could not have been more hatefuly dictatorial. He told her what to wear, how to sit, how to rouge her lips. He told her how to hold the wheel, which way to turn her head, just where to fluff her hair and where to draw it back. "Oh, Peter," protested Rowena faintly. "Please don't do my profile. I'm terrible that way. My face is too thin for a side view." "Oh, I'll fill it in for you," said Peter comfortably. "It shows up better in the car." "Oh, the car, the car," muttered Rowena crossly.. "It's all you think of." "It's all I'm paid for advertising," said Peter cheerfully. tot M 4101, • fat letter and smiled over it, and had frowned over it, she went to her pocketbook and counted her money, down even''eto nickels and dimes. Then she called Peter's room onthe telephone and asked if he would give her her share of next week's expense money right away. "Of course," replied Peter. "If you need more I can let you have it. --Don't ever run short of money, Ro- wena, we can always squeeze out a little extra some way." "Thanks a lot, Peter," said Row- ena gratefully. "I think I can man- age after this, But you're sweet to make the offer." Even Rowena was amazed at the number of things about which Peter had his own ideas, all bad ones. The roads provided an unfailing source of dissension. Their route was clear and definite. From Chicago they were to go south to St. Louis, and from St. Louis to. Kansas City,. from Kansas City to Denver. Between these .cities stretched a broad high- way,, heavily traveled, expensively paved. The car was supplied with the best of motor maps, and the roads were clearly marked at every turning. Rowena—sitting in the snug shade of the stout umbrella she had bought, was comfortably satisfied to travel along the main highways from one objective point to another, But Peter was all for short-cuts across country, and for all his decep- tive air of extreme amiability, was strongly entrenched in his personal preferences. At every town—al- though not, as Rowena disagreeably claimed, atevery telegraph pole—he made hopeful inquiries for short-cuts —for side-roads—for country lanes away from the traveled thorough- fares. Bobby, as became a professional. chaperon, was non-committally neu- tral. But so far from appreciating her disinterested amiability, it seem- ed more irritating to the others than Pater was unbearable when drawing pictures. • When he had finished the picture Rowena wrote a brief adjectivorous story to go with it, and both -were dispatched to Rackruff headquarters f .or immediate release. , In addition to the motor story she wrote a short skit every day for use in the news- papers of different cities as they pass- ed through. At Rackruff headquarters in Chi- cago they received their first mail from home. There was one fat .let- ter for Rowena, addressed in a big boyish scrawling hand. And then was one for Peter from the company with instructions for the tour and a check for the following week's ex- penses. Bobby was thrilled with a huge package of telegrams, twenty in all, and every one from Carter. It seem- ed that every one of Carter's finer feelings was highly outraged, for ,each of the twenty telegrams ended with a stern command for her to come home at once. Even in his wildest nightmares, he said in the telegrams, he had never conceived of a horror equal to that of seeing her much -loved ,features on public posters and monstrous bill- boards 00 every conspicuous corner tit town, advertising a cheap new roadster, Bobby's first intention was to ig- nore each and every one of these telegraphic outbursts, but by mid- fternoon she ;had relented as far as to send him a five -cent post -card pic- ture of Lake Michigan. At supper - time she sent a telegram saying they bad arrived safely, and were leaving early the next morning; and then she kept - Rowena awake until three o'clock in the morning 'with the cretch of her pen as she wrote him detailed account of ,everything that had happened so far. • , Rowena After vwena hadread single her s ogle i the outspoken opposition they anet in each other. And often they turned .upon her sharply as if she were to blame for the entire argument. i It was in an exquisite wooded dell in southern Illinois that Rowena had her revenge. They had stopped at a quaint roadside log cabin for lunch- eon, and Peter, gazing pensively through a wide-open window, decid- ed to do a pictufe on that very spot. Rowena had spent the morning in the rumble seat inditing swift notes on mid -western motoring and was an- xious a xious to transcribe them to the type- writer before her memoranda froze on her; So she asked Peter, very po- litely, if he would please do the pic- ture of the roadster and the wooded' dell first, while she was putting her notes into permanent form,and then paint her in behind the wheel later on in the afternoon when the rest of the picture was done. Peter was per- fectly willing, even eager, to, layov- er for an extra day, thus to allow time for her work as well as his, but he said a picture never turned out as well when a lady, or a house, or ev- en a dog, was added to a finished product. Said it always stuck out like a sore thumb and never looked just right, Rowena put upa good argument --- Rowena always put tip a good argu- ment — Rowena lost her temper she usually lost her temper --and the delicious log Cabin waffles and honey were ruined, When, very sulkily, but prepared to pose, she flounced down where Peter had parked the ear beside a shadowy pool and was setting up his easel, he said he thought better of it and would not use her in that picture• said Bobby was willing to substitute and the change would be a good one all round. Peter was quite pleasant abotit it, really g thoti 'lit he was do- ling her a favor, but Rowena, from being merely sulky, was suddenly, furious. She said she had been hired for no other purpose than to serve as a dumb model for his art and that she would jeopardize her contract by accepting this substitute. But Peter insisted that Messrs. Rack and Ruff had left everything about the pic- tures to his own exclusive judgment, and this was his judgment. "Bobby is putting on her little red sports suit," he said, "and the cos- tume will show up nicely in this green dell." "I know Bobby's clothes are much better than mine," said Rowena stiff- ly, "I know my things are very shabby and :threadbare, but it seems scarcely necessary to throw it up to me."e "That is very unfair of you, Row- ena," said Peter gravely. "You are very beautiful in everything you put on, and you know it. I couldn't speak unfavorably of your appearan- ce if I wanted to." Rowena, without another word, plumped: herself down behind the wheel with a set chin, a stern glint in green eyes, and a death grip of her slim hands on the wheel. Peter walked .slowly up to her and looked her steadily in the face. "Then if you will have the truth, Rowena," he said gently, "I would see you hanged before I would try to paint you in this lovely spot. I am so disgusted with the way you act sometimes that I would probably paint you with horns and a tail, which, between you and me, I often suspect you have concealed about you. If I painted you the way you look to me right now they'd never sell another Rackruff short of Ge- henna. Rowena's lovely red lips parted, then closed', with a sudden click. Her eyes grew so wide, and turned so deep a hazel that Peter marveled he had ever thought them green, She got- out of the car and went up to the log cabin where she met Bobby coming • out of the ladies' dressing -room, all dimpling smiles in the pleasant prospect of ,posing. "Peter is terribly tired and cross to -day, poor dear," said Rowena smoothly. "Try to cheer hien up, won't you, darling? He's very blue. Tell him about. Carter." , "I will," said Bobby sweetly. "I'll tell him about the time he proposed to me. It was terribly thrilling. We were out in a canoe—" "Peter's waiting," interrupted Row- ena quickly. "Yes, tell him about that. Poor dead He'll be so inter- ested." A little later, her portable type- writer in her hand, she passed that way to seek a secluded spot in the wood for her own work. Bobby, dimpling anddelighted, sat low 'be- hind the wheel, Peter, looking just a bit grim, moved restlessly from one foot to the other before his• canvas. Rowena's eyes showed cloudy flame in blue when she went by. "And he forgot we were in a canoe way out in the middle of a deep riv- er. He dropped the paddle over- board and boundeddown on the cus- hions beside me. 'Darling,' he said, 'you do love me, don't you?' And• splash! Over we went, canoe, cush- ions and all! But a little thing like being upset in a cold river didn't bo- ther Carter. He went right on kiss- ing me and said over and over, 'Dar- ling you do love me—you do love me,'. and itwasn't until I promised to mar- ry'him that he swam off after the canoe and—" "The poor fishes lived happily for ever after," said Rowena . softly.. There were five telegrams for Bob- by in St. Louise and, curiously en- ough, five for Peter also. Rowena, he noticed, had another fat letter ad- dressed in the boyish scrawl, and watching with ;some curiosity as she read it, .he saw that while her brows frowned over it ever so slightly,: her eyes smiled to their softest hazel. Immediately she finished reading, she counted the bills in her purse and asked the way to the telegraph office, "Oh, listen to this l" chortled Bob- by ecstatically. "Darlings, he's wildl. He'll never forgive me, never. He threatens to send the police after me unless I come right straight home. He calls me a little devil in plain Eriglish by Western Union." "Oh, Robby, " begged Rowena, "please spare us Until we get a little of the well-known fine, black, sandy loam of•:the Middle West out of our ears." When they stepped into the ele- gator, Bobby stutriblieg blindly' °As she continued to devour the, passiohate' phrases with heir avidly shining eyes,' Peter motioned Rowena back. "I want to speak to you just amin- ute—about business—if you'll excuse us, Bobby." Rowena turned hack at once and he handed her the five telegrams without a word. They were all from Mssrs. Rack and Ruff, saying Rack - ruff Motors Inc., was in a state of persistent persecution at the hands of a red-haired chemical engineer who had threatened to 'sue the company, to burn down the factory, and to beat up every member of the .firm. "What the deuce do you suppose. it's all about?" wondered . Peter. "Oh, it must be Carter," said Row- ena brightly, "He's road at Bobby," y So they went up to have it out with her at once. They told her she must quit tormenting him, and write him all the details of their trip, how she came tobe a member of the party in the first place, and to send him a copy of their complete itinerary. Es- pecially she must call him peremp- torily off .Messrs. Rack and Ruff, who were likely to become annoyed at such persecution and cancel the trip. , (Continued Next Week.) Hints For Homebodies Written for The Advance -Times By Jessie .Alien Brown A Holiday in the City Somehow, we never hear of going to the city for a summer holiday, but it seems to me, that most people who. live in town or country, would en- joy a holiday in the city. Change is. one of the most important things in a vacation, and the city would pro- vide it. Time to see the Museum, the Art Galleries, to go to the thea- tre, to play in whatever way appeals to you most. Even the lights are a thrill. If you don't think that, just try taking a child into a city at night. The memory of their pleasure will stay with you. The man of the house may not en- joy it as much as the women and the children. Separate holidays are rath- er a good thing. To get awayfrom even those we love best is rather a good thing for the nerves. .Try en- joying a Holiday in the way you like best, for once. The stores are a delight, if you sel- dom see them. You may have very little money to spend, but what wo- man oman does not get a real thrill out of window shopping, That costs noth- ing but time, and that is a commodity we all possess when on a vacation. It need not cost much, as there are many people glad to rent their apartments or homes during the holi- days. Have you no city friends, who would enjoy a holiday in your home? A fair exchange is no robbery. Vitamin C in Canned Tomatoes Most mornings, we have .tomato,. juice for breakfast. We strain our own juice from the canned tomatoes,'' and .frequently there is some left ov- er, depending on the appetites, and the size of the family. '.I was not sure if the "vitaniin'C would last un- til the next day, or whether it would be destroyed by oxidation. This wor- ried me, as what is the use of eating tomato juice in order to get vitamin C, and then not to get it. I wrote: to the research laboratory of one of our largest canning companies, and my mind was set at rest. The vitamin C lasts until the next day. It is only when it is heated that it is destroyed, by contact with air. Vitamin C can- not .be ,stored in the'' body, it is im- portant to get it each day. Food Advertisements Food advertisements are very int- eresting and frequently quite instruc- tive. Advertising has reached a high plane. - There are very few advertise- ments that do not tell the truth. Un- fortunately, they do not tell the whole truth, always, and, thus, we are led to infer things which are not al- together so. The • advertisements of the orange growers are a sample of this. They tell us the necessity for, and the value of vitamin C, and stress its close relation to the health of the teeth and gums. They tell us the quantity of vitamin C needed daily. All this is valuable information. The part they do not tell, is that vitamin C may be obtained from oth- er sources. Undoubtedly, oranges and lemons are a good source of vita- min C—but so is tomato juice. It is just as valuable as the citrus fruits. It has the further advantage of re- taining the vitamin C after canning. Consequently, it is much cheaper for Canadians to use. What a pity it is that the Canadian growers do not or- ganize, as the citrus -growers did, and spend enough money in advertising to teach the people the value of tom- atoes. It would be good for the health of the general public, and it would benefit the tomato growers and the canners. A Picture Cook Book Seeing that we are on the subject of advertisements,we might as well. go on a bit farther. Do you make use of the recipes in the food adver- tisements? These companies pay die- titians high salaries for evolving new recipes, and, we might as well get the benefit. The trouble 1 . find , with them is that most of there are too fussy and elaborate for every -day use. Part of the work I do is, to take the germ of an idea from any source 'I can find it, and in my own kitchen evolve a plain, practical, use- ful recipe, for your use. Pictures are a great help, and find a place in m y cook books. Frequent- ly, one does not' need a recipe for !desserts or salads, as the picture tells the story. We enjoy our food thru our eyes,, as well as with our taste-. It is 'just . as easy to arrange foods: attractively, with artistic colour con- trast. If you have not been putting pictures in . your cook books try it, and see if they do not often prove to be an inspiration, Strawberry lee -Box Cake Soak 2 teaspoonfull of gelatin in ,S•: tablespoons cold water. .Dissolve ov- er hot water, and add F cup orange juice, and cup granulated sugar, Cool but do not allow the mixture to set. Fold it into: 2 cupfulls stiffly whipped cream, and add 1 cupful slic- ed ripe strawberries. Line the bot- tom and sides of a 'mould with wax- eda er, Then line with split r" Pp n fingers, or ' slices of sponge cake. Cover with the cream, then a layers^ of lady fingers, then cream, and top. with a layer of the lady fingers. Chill for at least 12 hours, Turn out and: decorate, if desired with whipped cream and strawberries. Ice -box, cakes are really not cakes, but delic- ious desserts; They make excellent. company ones, as they may be pre- pared the day before. Log Cabin Salad Build a 'log cabin' of cheese straws on each salad plate. Make a cup of a head lettuce in the cabin and .fillt with any salad you choose. Salads., of chicken, lobster, shrimp, or tuna.. are suitable salads. Garnish these with a sprig of parsley, or mint.,, Fruit salads, if they are well drained are attractively served in this man- ner. The cheese straws and the, fruit make an apPetizing combina- tion. After vacation comes recuperation Nothing tonesdown a trouble mak- er so quickly as to run into someone he isn't sure he can lick. The successof a woman's evening, depends upon her dress; one might say her hapiness. hangs by a thread. Mary had a bathing suit, She carried in her purse, And every time she worethe thing Itshrunk up worse and worse. When you are promised 50per cent. return on an investment, the entire 100 per cent. often fails to return. Acid Stomach Completely Relieved by Famous Vegetable Pills ,.
