Zurich Herald, 1938-12-29, Page 2Synopsis At the invitation of her wealthy uncle, Richard Carruth, and his faster -daughter Lois, Katha Lodge leaves her New Hampshire ham- let for a month's visit in New York. Lois meets her at the train and on the way to the Carrnths' Park Avenue penthouse warns her to call her aunt Evelyn, not Aunt Evelyn. Katha is interested of course in Kemp Loring as. Lois had told her she'd better not took at Kemp twice or Evelyn's daughter Millicent would have her claws out, And Bill McMillan—she likes him, Her Uncle Richard arrives late in the afternoon and greets her sincerely. Millicent goes out with Kemp. Early next day Bill phones Katha, making a date for evening. Lois explains Evelyn's nervousness by saying she happen- ed upon Eric Carlton and Evelyn while he was kissing her. Lois. confides that she loves Terry Reese a college student with little money whom she met while horseback rid- ing in the park. Bill takes Katha out for two evenings together. He kisses her the second night. She kraows now she loves him. CHAPTER XI Kemp bent his tanned, handsome face to Katha's and said, "Kitty Renshaw didn't know she was hav- ing a party so that you and I could get together finally. You look," he said, showing strong white teeth, When he smiled," enough like New Hampshire to be sweet enough like New York to be irresistible." She did not smile at the compli- ment. It was all so obvious! Before she answered she looked for Bill who was standing by the window, and smiled at him. Then she said, "`Millicent left, didn't she? Was she Ill?" His face relaxed, "You're very. clever, Katha. No, she wasn't i11. She was angry — with me. We're through. Finished. And I've about three and a half weeks left in New York before going back to Californ- ia. Will you help me fill them up?" She looked up at him, her brows drawn together. "Why? About you and Millicent, I mean . , . " A Long Story "It's a long story. I'll tell you about it if — if you'll help me fill up the three and a half weeks. I spent some summers in New Hemp- , shire. We'd have something to talk about, I'm sure. What do you say?" "I'm Millicent's guest and her cousin. Have you forgotten that?" "Does it matter? It doesn't to her and it doesn't to me. A month from now I'll be in California and you in New Hampshire. What have we to lose? We could have fun in the meantime." But there was Bill . , . It was un- wise to give all her time though she wished to be with uo one else. And perhaps her seeing Kemp might make Millicent jealous enough to marry him and go west With hint. Kemp smiled again. "I took you for a girl with a very kind and charitable heart. Don't disappoint me, please. Let me call you in the morning." She nodded slowly. "All right," not knowing whether she was glad or sorry. A Lover's Quarrel Evelyn stiffened in Eric's arms. "Did you see what Kemp did the snoment Millicent left? He 'went straight to Katha. I didn't think that of him. Millicent, poor child .. Didn't she look dreadful, Eric?" Eric looked bored. "It was just a lovers' quarrel." "Do you think so? I hope so! But why did he let her go if he's so much in love with her? It seems to Me he was very anxious to dance with Kettle. I knew that inviting her was a mistake. I told Richard — Eric, I can't stay. I can't bear Millicent's going house alone, cry- ing. I'd like to know what hemp said to her that huvt her so." Eric was annoyed now. "You mean you're going to leave?" "Please, let's not quarrel. I simp- ly can't stay, She needs me. You stay, darling. I'll tell Kitty that Millicent was ill. Now don't look so disapproving." He saw her to the car and stood a moment on the steps and smok- ed before going in again, It had been unselfish of her not to suggest that he accompany her. Unselfish- ness always surprised him, being conscious of his own selfishness. As a small boy, son of an almost improverished family whose for- tune had improved somewhat as he grew up, Eric had known that what he wanted was the pleasures and luxuries that money can buy. Aft, ter college he had been an actor, but the tedious work of the thea- tre bored and wearied him and he had not had a part since his father died, leaving him enough money to Iive on the edge of comfort but far from the luxuries he desired. Then Evelyn Carruth, pretty, rich, kind, susceptible to flattery, had happen- ed his way, Now if Evelyn would divorce Richard and Richard would settle a large amount of money on her . .. They had discussed it, he and Evelyu, but invariably the top- ic made her nervous and dissolved her in tears. But he was patient. It was something for which he was willing to be not only patient but attentive and loving. Sooner or la- ter — and recently with growing impatience he felt that it must be quite soon — Evelyn would agree to go to Richard about the divorce. Instant Dislike Going in, he stood at the entrance of the ballroom and looked at Ka- tha dancing with Kenip Loring. She was very lovely. And because he felt free from Evelyn, he crossed the room and tapped Kemp's shoul- der. "Katha and I haven't met," he said. "I think we should." Kemp introduced them. And Ka- tha felt herself being transferred into Eric's arias. "I've heard so much about you," Eric said. "Evelyn was going to in- troduce us but she left." Evelyn had gone, too! With sarcasm he said, "Millicent was feeling low and Evelyn, the good'little mother ... " Katha disliked him instantly and wished Bill would come and take her away. At the moment she dis- liked the polite laws of society that forbid her to say, "You will break up Uncle Richard's hone and sep- arate him from Evelyn whom he's loved for twenty-seven years, for whom he had worked all those years, for whom he made all his money. He never wanted it for himself — but for her. And you do not want ber. It's the money Uncle Richard has made that you want. And it will make an olcl man of him and maybe kill him if he dis- covers that you and Evelyn are more than friends." CHAPTER XII Bill, seeing Katha's unhappy eyes crossed the room to her, He'd been standing apart, just looking at her , happily, and smiling to himself at the pleasure of just looking at her dark head rising above her creamy shoulders. She belonged to him. It was the first time in his life that T& -Days Popular Design By Carol Aime!, Fc�tt:,+,,,.,.,}a1"4rrR?•�,x? <arra �l,. ,,_,+: NE 639 Regency Monograms And Initials DESIGN NO.

I told you about him?" • "He's the uncle who keeps you in the manner to which youhave become accustomed." ' Getting to Work She did not like his not working, Bill thought. That was one of the things he was going to tell his uncle. He would say, "I'm going to accept Cooper's offer and go to work." And Uncle George would probably laugh and'tisk him how Ise' proposed to follow sports if he were in a law office. Bill would say, "I'm geeting a little fed up with playing and doing nothing, and the girl I love thinks I'm a playboy. If there's one word in the language that burns nie up, it's that."

"All A Mistake" Millicent, wearing black satin lounging pajamas, came. into Ka- tha's room in the morning and she stood over her while teethe was drinking orange juice. Her blue eyes were still red from the tears of last -night: "teethe, 1 came in to tell you that I don't Care in the least how often, you see Kentp, or where. 1 knew the moment 1 left last night he'd be with you.

But perhaps if I could make Millicent jealous, she wouldn't be so proud. You can't be proud and be in love, Lois. You have to give and take too much." She looked down at her hands and said, "I'm in love «'itk Bill." "I l.ne'w you were. I knew last night. He "He's Bill McMillan. And he isn't for me. He isn't the marrying kind.

"Last night 1 danced with Eric, 1' couldn't like him." Lois closed the book. "You know, things don't go en like this, I mean about mother and Eric.. And I'm afraid. But with Terry and me it will go on and nothing will hap- pen." She shook her head, and the tears started in her eyes. "And nothing Will happen.. ever!"

The fh'st axiom of beauty, as it is of good health, is to maintain the system elear. Fresh fruit and vege. tables should be taken regularly. Dried prunes and figs are excellent too, and bran will supply necessary roughage, Milk is a good aid to beauty, and yaw eggs will make teeth strong and help to prevent decay, as well as improve the texture and growth of the hair, Some roods are definitely harm. fel to the looks and should either ue avoided or eaten but rarely. And highly seasoned dishes, rich sauces, fried roods— all spell danger to beauty. Too numb pleat is unwise, and pastries and confections need to be taken only sparingly. 1f you Dave an oily skin, avoid fried and rich foods; take lots at bran. fruit and salads instead, Women with dry skins will bene• tit considerably by eating plenty of butter and cream, Almond and brazil nuts are good, too. Vegetables such as spinach. car•, rots, turnips and leaf -lettuce bring extra sparkle to the eyes, Liver and ltiitdney are helpful. too.

She Won Renown As Truck Driver HENSALL, Ont.—A quarter of a million miles is a lot of driving for anyone, but when a woman drives a truck that far without an accident she merits recognition, according to officials of the Auto- motive Transport Association. So last month when the association met in Toronto, Mrs. Irene Har- vey, of Hensel], was made a mem- ber of the Legion of Safety. The Legion of Safety is an hon- orary organization of truckmen who have driven five years without an accident. Mrs. Harvey, in the 1() years since she fired an incom- petent driver from her husband's truck and took over the controls herself, has driven about 250,000 miles without even a dented fen- der.
