She asked, "Did you make any
provision against her running
sway again? Suppose she refuses
to come with the detectives?"
He explained, "That's why they
called before they'd finished the
jot. They wanted instructions. I
told them to pretend to arrest
her and bring her back here.
Would you mind sticking around
with me till she comes?"
Elaine would not mind. She
went home only long enough to
tell Penny she was having dinner
with John McNeill and to change
into a dinner dress—something
pale green and draped by a Pari-
sian expert. Over her short hair
she pinned a heavy golden plait
that made her look like Every -
man's First .Sweetheart.
She threw a short ermine rape
around her (that was to remind
John that she was still Elaine
Chalmers, the glamorous) and
went back to him. They had din-
ner together under Susie's pop-
ping eyes. After dinner Elaine
played for him on the big piano
that used to be Florence's, and
sang all the songs that he asked
for from the Princeton Triangle
plays. Now and then he got up
and walked to the window or the
door and looked out. Now and
then he paced the floor. Elaine
would talk to him then about the
girl they were waiting for.
Once she said teasingly,' "And
you don't even know her name!!"
"But I do now!" "It's Ruth
Woodson. The telephone call con-
firmed that."
He told her then about the
night they were arrested for
speeding en route to the Moun-
tain Cabin, and how she had giv-
en that name to the traffic cop.
He said, "When I was thinking
it over today, the hunch cane to
me that that was her own name.
Ruth Woodson."
"Ruth Woodson," echoed Elaine
thoughtfully. Mentally she com-
pared it with Elaine Chalmers
and found it wanting. "Shall we
play double solitaire or shoot bil-
liards? Your pacing around this
wry makes me nervous.'?
Reunion
The had time to do both. They
even turned on the radio and
danced. Onc when the music stop-
ped Elaine forgot to move away
and remained within the circle
of John McNeill's dropped arm,
the fingers of her right hand
still clinging to the fingers of his
left. She looked up at hint in-
timately. He had only to bend
his head to kiss her . . and
suddenly she knew that he had
no desire to kiss her. His thoughts
were miles away.
When a car carne into the
grounds and stopped before the
porch they both experienced nerv-
ousness and panic. t
John opened the door. Two
men entered with a white-faced,
defiant girl between thele. Slle,
too, was frightened, and it was
her fright that made John forget
his own.
"Ruth!" he said to her quick-
ly. "You're not being arrested.
It was just a way • to get yon
back here. The only way we
'knew—"
She said, looking at Elaine and
• then back at him again, "Why did
you. want 'me to come back?"
"Don't you know?" he asked,

looking deep into her troubled
eyes. "Don't you know?"
"No," answered Ruth, tiredly
and wistfully She could not keep
her love for him out of her face,
out of her voice.
Elaine moved closer, so that
she stood beside the dishevelled
girl in the cheap tweed suit that
had been shrunken by rain. She
thought, "He must see us togeth-
er. He must look at us standing
here. With his eyes. With his
senses. With his mind. He must
see us together—"
He did. His arms reached for
Ruth hungrily. He kissed her
mouth, her chin, her forehead.
Her lips again. Theh he held her
close to him while he looked at
Elaine over her rumpled head.
"Isn't she the loveliest thing God
ever made?" he asked huskily.
Elaine laughed. It was a nat-
ural, amiable laugh, acknowledg-
_ ing her own defeat. The .two de-
tectives laughed. Not impudently
but indulgently, conceding every
man's right to his own taste.
They said, "Have you any beer

Susie came and took thein

John said to the ,rumpled girl
in his arms, "Will you marry* are
in the morning, Ruth Woodson?"
She said that she would.
Elaine was practical. She said
to John, "We'll have a bangup
wedding as soon as you can get
the license. But she must go hone
with are now and get some sleep.
She's exhausted—can't you see
it? Brides must be fresh ant
beautiful—"
She took Ruth's hand and led
her across the lawn, through the
althea hedge, into the old Hunter
house. John, listening, heard the
blue door close behind theist. It
had a friendly, vibrant sound.
As if the old house was coming
to life again.

When the laws of the Naval
Academy permitted it, Elaine
Chalmers married Dennis Davis in
a simple, forthright manner. Her
world was surprised. In response
to pressing questions from report-
ers she had this statement to
make:
"Once I saw a young man in
love with a girl. I mean in love.
Since then I've known I could
never marry any man unless he
looked at me as that young' man
looked at his girl."
"How did he look at her?" ask-
ed he curious reporters, pencils
poised.
She called across the roots,
"Dennis, what time is it?"
Dennis Davis said, "You know
T don't carry a watch, Elaine."
But he looked at her as he said
it, and the reporters saw. All of
them tried to describe that look
afterward, but gave it up.

Canadian homes now are opening

The favorites apparently are the
little girls of five years of age. •
BOYS IN MAJORITY
A preliminary survey by the Ga^
nadian Press disclosed that genes,
ally Canadian families -- whether
the heads of the household be old
or young — preferred to accept'
and care for girls, although the lar-
ger proportion of the 10,000 child-
ren are boys.
All of the children are 10 years
of age or under. Half the total are
being sheltered In homes in Ont
ario and Quebec, the remainder be..
ing distributed throughout Canada;
ou a pro rata population basis.
Preferences in tate rest of the
country try to run something like
this:
Quebec — The favorite child is
a girl of five. The general age pre-
ference i•s from three years to 10.
Some persons asked simply that
they be given a "pretty child'for
which to care,
Nova Scotia — The "great pro-
portion" of families taking in child-
ren were anxious for girls and pre-
ferably those of five years of age.
Alberta — Ready to accept any
type of child, boy or girl.
Saskatchewan — No specific pre-
..
ference.
British Columbia — Principally
girls under five years of age. •
Champion Typist
Likes Swimming
Oakville Girl Who Holds The
World's Amateur Record Dis-
covers It Keeps Her Quite Fit
for Work
A cup of tea at four o'clock and
lots of swimming during the off
hours, that's the formula for over-
coming typing fatigue as prescrib-
ed by pretty hazel -eyed Margaret
Faulkner, of Oakville, Ont., who
captured the world's amateur type-
writing championship in Chicago,
June ?1st.
Pack at her job of demonstrating
business machines in Toronto last
week, Miss Faulkner, who clicked
through the half-hour champion-
ship event at the rate of 121 words
a minute, told bow aquatic sports
eliminated her fears of suffering
from tension or physical strain dur-
ing the contest. "Either," she said,
"would have made enough differ-
ence in speed and accuracy to have
cost me the title."
"Hudreds of pounds are lifted
during the course of a day's typ-
ing," explained the new champion,
"and that takes more than finger
work. A great many muscles are
giving subtle assistance every time
the carriage is returned or the keys
depressed, and I have found swim-
ming the best way to develop
them."
Miss Faulkner has kept up her
swimming and diving ever since
she started winning typing con-
tests at business school, Three
years ago she captured the Canad-
ian amateur type -writing champion-
ship and last year she was rimier -
up for the world's title.

Some Suggestions
For Care of Milk
Never Let It Remain on The
Doorstep Exposed to Light
Getting a bottle of milk play
seem like a routine thing, but
much can be done to maintain
its- duality and flavor, says the
New York State College of Horne
Ect,nomics. Here are some tips
from the college:
Buy the best milk you can af-
ford.
Have the milk bottle put into
a covered box when the mills is
delle ered. Never allow a bottle
of milk to stand on the doorstep,
exposed to light.
Wash the outside of the bottle
before putting it into the refrig-
erator.
Keep the milk covered in a
clean, cold place.
Take out only enough milk for
each areal.
?Yah the bottle carefully and
return it regularly.
The Longer Bob
May Come Back
Women Are Using Time -Sav-
ers And "Hot Weather Spec-
ials" in Coiffures
It looks as if the long bob were
winning once again, maybe as a
"war measure." The up•hair do and
the baby curls couldn't defeat it.
Now the modified pompadour is
bidding for its place, but it doesn't
seem likely to win out — not until
nearer fall anyhow. It's a case of
women. sticking to the easiest way
to fix their hair.
Here's a time-saver and hot wet
ther special.
First, part the back hair in the
centre, then draw the former neck
curls into a single curl over each
ear. Let a small comb hold each
curl in place. For evening, tuck a
velvet ribbon securely at the back,
then. bringing it up to cover the
part towards the tap of the head
and to end in a bow just behind the
front swirl of pompadour. It's for-
mal looking, perhaps too much so
for popularity just now,

A SUMMER MEDLEY
So many things just pop into, my
mind this beautiful summer's morn-
ing, as I write to you, that I feel
I should name it none other than a
"Medley". Janis, jellies and pre-
serves are all "calling the house-
wives" from everywhere, to decide
quickly what they are doing in
fruits, as all are ripening very rap-
idly. It gives every evidence of be-
ing a short season.
For jams and jellies I thought
you might like something a lith?
different, so try these:
Five -Fruit Jam
2 quarts stoned cherries
1 pint red currants, 1 pint white
currants (if impossible to obtain
the two kinds use the quart of
the one).
1 quart gooseberries
1 pint raspberries
Sugar (medium)
Remove the tops and tails from
the gooseberries, pick over the
raspberries and currants, and pit
the cherries. For each cup of fruit
use 3'.s cup of si.igar and insist upon
obtaining the sugar of medium
grade, when purchasing your can-
ning sugar.
Place sugar and fruit in a pre-
serving kettle, stir often while
cooking until fruits are tender and
jam is thick. Seal in sterile glass-
es.
Medley Preserve
1 quart raspberries
1 quart red currants
1 quart red cherries
1 ripe pineapple
2 large oranges
1 lb, sultana raisins
cup blanched chopped almorels
ee cup preserved ging,..
Sugar
Wash and stone cherries, pick
over the raspberries, stem the en' -
rants, shred the pineapple, cut or-
anges into small pieces, wash and
dry the raisins, blanch and dry the
almonds, chop the candied ginger.
Measure the fruit, place in preserv-
ing kettle, place on slow heat, sim-
mer for one hour, stir often. Heat
the same quantity of sugar as of
fruit, add to boiling fruit, cook
with occasional stirring, to the con-
sistency of marmalade. Seal in a
sterile jar.
Red Currant Mint Jelly
4 cups red currant juice
4 cups sugar
Take about 4 lbs. of red currants
after picking off the stems. Boil,
adding just enough water to keep
frons, sticking. Add 1 cup of tightly
packed mint leaves. Boil until the
currants are quite soli, then pour
into jelly bag and drain overnight,
In the morning measure the juice
and for each cup of juice use l;j, cap
sugar. After measuring the juice
place on heat and allow to boll for
20 minutes, then add heated sugar.
Boil about five minutes giving the
jelly test, whichever method you
prefer. Place in jelly glasses and
cover with paraffin. p is alway
