SALADA STAMP CLUB - 461 King S. W., Toronto SERIAL STORY NO TIME TO MARRY COPYRIGHT, 1939, NEA 6ER VICE. INC. BY ELINORE COWAN STONE CAST OF CHARACTERS JANET DWIGHT, heroine. She was engaged to handsome young architect LANCE BARSTOW, hero. Lance had great dreams for the future. So did CYNTHIA CANTRELL, orphaned granddaughter of great-aunt Mary Cantrell. Still another dreamer was .� r BARNEY McKNIGHT; newspaper- man. But Barney was more than a dreamer. At last Janet realizes she loves Barney, she tells him how much she needs him. Then Cynthia re- turns and she has changed too, Janet finds. CHAPTER XXI Now Cynthia went on with a hesitation unusual for her. "I saw the papers, Tan. Of course I'm glad—about you .and Barney. I do hope you're—really happy. But I was surprised." "I was—a little surprised, my- self," Janet said, patting a sofa pillow into place, holding her eyes cairefully on what she was doing. "Of course we should have waited longer if we had known you and Mr. Benton would be at home so soon, Cyn. But Aunt Mary had particularly asked that we should not postpone the ceremony be- cause of—on her account . . . . But how is Timothy?" She was thinking that in a few moments she must say something to . Cynthia about the bills for Aunt Mary's illness and burial. She hated to; but they were enor- mous—the hospital bill alone had beereetaggeri ig—and, Aunt Mary's small baailk, eechoiint. had: long ago Melted away. She couldn't expect Barney to shoulder the whole ex- pense. Cynthia wouldn't want hint to, of course. He's Lost All His Money Cynthia stood up abruptly as if Janet's question about her hus- band had suddenly recalled her to an urgent present. "I must get back to Tim, Janet. He had a temperature this morn- ing. He caught cold on the train, and on top of all his other worry, it's got hint down.... I—I never saw Tim sunk before. It scares me, Jan." "Worry?"

Cynthia, who had stopped to pick up her hat, turned incredu- lously. "What, Cyn? I — honestly, I don't know." • "I suppose you wouldn't. I didn't know myself until yester- day that Hallowell and.: .lignton haven't been making: •airy•t roliey for the last six months... Aird; you see, everything else Tine had was invested in oil. Well, the other day the oil company blew up. We're practically fiat, Jan." So that was it! Janet cried softly,. "Oh, Cyn- thia!" And again, "Oh, Cynthia, my dear!" Sticking To A Bargain It seemed the most grotesque of ironies that this would have happened to Cynthia. How doubly tragic to have staked everything on a marriage with a man you did not, really love, playing for ease and security, and then to have not even these! .A. man you did not really love! And what have I done? Janet thought. I'ni no better than Cyn- thia. Without turning from the mir- ror where she had been arranging her hat, Cynthia said abruptly, with one of those flashes cf in- sight which made her so unpre- dictable, "I know what you're thinking, Jan—that having mar- ried Tim for his money, as of course I did, I'm probably getting ready to lie on -the floor and kick and scream over the mess I've got myself into." Janet, who hadbeen thinking exactly that, could find no im- mediate words. "Bat perhaps you remember," Cynthia went on, facing Janet, her dark head high, "that first night—when Tini got so beauti- fully plastered. .I told you then that I'd made my bargain and I'd stick to it. Well, that still goes. . And now I've got to run." "Cynthia, wait!" Janet called swiftly. "Where is he?" "At the Templeton House." "Can you stove hint safely?" "I don't believe moving him could possibly be so had for him as staying there. It's noisy, and he hates hotels, anyhow." "Then you must bring him here. Barney and 1 :vere only staying anyhow until you got back. There are so many places vacant now that it won't take me more than a few hours to find a furnished apartment that will do us beau- tifully until we can get really settled. And the rent's paid here for the rest of the month, Cyn— most of it with Timothy Benton's money but I suppose you know that. I only found it out by acci- dent. Aunt Mary never did know." The Kindest Man Ever Cynthia did not speak for a long time. When Janet, wonder- ing, turned to look at her cou- sin, she saw that ,her sensitive mouth was quivering like a little girl's, and that the eyes that al- ways used to be so carefully amused were flooded -with tears. "I didn't know, either. Tim's like that,". Cynthia said. "When he does something kind, he hates to have anyone know anything about it ... Janet, he's the kind- est man I ever knew." Janet said, "I know, Cynthia. I think. I knew the first time I saw ,WAKE UP SINGING!

Princess lines register strongly, with accent on a small waistline and often a long hipline. One of the outstanding princess evening gowns combines black net with black velvet, the velvet worked in criss-cross bands, and an impres- sive evening coat in magenta vel- vet with small waistline makes a point of massed front fullness. The draped skirt is the big fash- ion news of the winter, in peg - top, polonaise, harem, pinafore and apron drapery with accent al- ways on small waistlines. Long sleeves high necklines, buttons and jewelled ornaments are good. Baby's Own Room It is best that children should have their own room, in which they can breathe their own air and be by themselves from very early days. Naturally the room would be close to that of the mother, so that if the door is left open she will be able to hear the child al- most as well as if he were beside her. When it can be managed it is highly desirable that a baby should have his own room and should not he turned down for reasons ad- vanced, such as sentiment, preju- dice, and fear of baby being left alone.

She told Barney that you'd used your head for the first time in your life when you married him." "Did she? I'm glad . . . I wanted to write her the truth, Jan; but—well, I know you both thought I was always play-acting. And I was" You see, it's always been the hardest thing in. the world for ire to be natural about —things that really mattered to rue. Now I'm going to tell you the truth. I'm crazy about Tim. I'll bring him as soon as I can get him ready." When Janet called Barney and told him about her talk with Cyn- thia, he agreed promptly that they must find another apartment that day if possible. Janet went out in a flutter of excitement, It would be fun,. house -hunting for her first home. Them were, as she. had eonfid- ently predicted, a great many places for rent. But most of them, it developed, were large, and in the upper price brackets. Finding a small furnished apart- merit that measuredup to her dreams at the rent Barney had mentions as top price • was not such child's play as she had anti- cipated. Eventually .the did find, on a Tether shabby street, one which she told herself a. little grudging- ly would •have to do till she bad time to canvass the situation more exhaustively. . House -Hunting It had a living room, a small bedroom, a tiny bath, and a kit- chen with a breakfast nook—all pretentiously designed and cheap- ly executed. Even by th3 flatter- ing light of late afternoon, it left a great deal to be desired. The ivory paint was pock-markgd in spots; there was a stain in the corner of the bathroom ceiling where water had leaked in from above; the ,carpet was. definitely moth-eaten in the corners; the upholstery of s the chairs was scarred and dingy; and the other furniture was scarred here and there by glass rims and cigarette butts of former tenants . At •that, Janet had to pay a little more than the amount Barney stipu- • lated. If she remembered with a pang of yearning the white house on the hillside, she angrily brushed the thought aside. After all, this was fairly clean and comfortable; and practically everything, the janitor told her, was furnished. He promised to repaint the bath room andput fresh linoleum in the kitchen with an eager volu- bility which might have made a more experienced house hunter suspicious, Bartley came to the Brecken- ridge in time to help bundle Thu - ally Benton into bed. He greeted Cynthia like a long -lost sister, and had, them all laughing in rio time at all. But when, in the general ex- eitement, Janet really looked at hint for the first time, she 'noticed that he seemed very tired. If he had not been Barney, she ,could have said worried, (To.

Teeth Will Tell The day may be not far off when employers will no longer ask women employees their ages, but will take a good look at their teeth! It has been discovered that human teeth, like tree trunks, have annual rings, which are not visible to the naked eye but can be seen distinctly through a mi- croscope. Although teeth do not melte their appearance until months after birth, the actual year of birth is recorded by a specially deep ring, and further deep rings are to be found for every sreious illness or accident. By examining teeth microscopic- ally, dentists of the future will be abel to read a man's medical his- tory and explain why his teeth may be in such an advanced stage of iecay.
