IS After Mark Alexander's beauti- ful wife Ellen tied, . her whale fatally .beoa!me . interested in Val- erie, Ellen's daughter' by • a foraner nus iwiag'e and in the trust fund left Valerie. AU are anxious • to adopt Valerie—all, save Smirleye— but Mark will have none of it. Mark hires Lucy Tredway to tu- tor Valerie and keeps Lucy in the house,. much to Elsie's dismay. As Mark comes out of his office, he is surprised to see Elsie pule) Up in her car. Elsie emerged, cool in pastel eh4f- faons, under a huge hat. Her dank, rather heavy eyes were veiled as they rested on him. Tihey made him vaguely uncomfortable. This was his frequent reaction to Elsie these days. He wished ridiculously that he. could take a running jump into his car and be off, ,waving his hat as he went. Instead', he found himself tell- ing her how charming she looked, and how ,eveiv midsuanrner became her. She laid her hand en his arm, and looked, up at him reproachfully. "Don't go. conventional, darling," she said. Mark decided he -would never get used to "darling" as the current output in salutations. • "I'mi quite sure what your opinion is of women who pursue men to their of- fices. But how else aur I ffo see -you? And I truly must. Will you drive me home? Oh, Harmon, just take the car back. I shan't be needing it again until tonight." • Mark allmos•t put out a protesting hand, as the man touched his cap and drove off. Elsie was moving flowing- ly toward his roadster, and there was nothing to do but follow. her. "I don't think You'll be very hap- py," he said opening the door. "Pic- ture hats and chiffons don't mix spec- ially well with roadsters." ' She tucked her flowing skirts around her and leaned back, with a wistful sigh. "But 'I adore%oadsters. Anrl you have the top. .up, so I shan't be too terribly windblown. Don't stand there staring at me, silly. Arent you getting in?" Mark brought hie thoughts back with an effort. "I just remembered —a telephone call. Excuse me a sec- ond. I'll be with you—" He was halfway up the walk be- fore she could • answer. .He felt childishly defrauded as he called his house from the superintendent's of- fice. He lead hardly realized how he counted on the hour in the pool with Valerie. and Lucy. 'tie was glad when he heard Chiltern's voice. Some- times: if Valerie happened to• be pass- ing when the telephone rang she an- swered., just in case it might be Mark. • "Please tell Miss Tredway and Miss Valerie I've. been detained, and to have their swim without me," he said. "And Chiltern—.I say -tell them, I'm terribly sorry, ; will you?" "Yes, sir,"' said Chiltern. "Will you• be coming home for dinner?" was when she looked , up and Pound him laughing. Men seldom laughed with, and never at, Elsie. "Sorry --but you should have seen yourself," said Mark.' "I mean, . the way you looked when we started, and the way you l00%ed after a cou- ple of bouts with the breeze." Elsie managed a kind of smile. '{It must have been terribly funny," she agreed. - "I suppose you're wondering_ whys I've .carried you off," she said. Sale had almost mastered her temper. Mark was not quite so successful at hiding his curiosity over the whole proceeding. "Of course—it was sweet of you—" he began. "I simply had to see you. And it's practically impossible to get you to myself even for a minute. Of course, I simply adore Valerie, as you know. And Miss Treadle is --well; of course she's quite—stimulating—if you know whet I mean." Mark nodded. He didn't in the leant know. She hurried on without waiting for an answer. "You see, I can't beg, lure, or even abduct you to my apartment. I can't think what you're afraid of—" "Penhaps it isn't exactly fear," he explained. "Maybe I'm catering a trifle to the tongues of mien. --to say nothing off women. Silly rot, I know. And even • if one doesn't go in for stereotyper mourning, it does curtail social activities a bit." "You're just talking off the top of your mind," said Elsie sadly. "Keep- ing me on the outside.. Just as, if we hadn't been friends for. ages. It . isn't fair — when I miss Ellen so anyway—" Mark was horrified, after the fashion of men, to see her loose one hand' from the still struggling hat and wipe her eyes- on a gay bit of chiffon. ° ' "I r-- I'm frightfully sorry. I'm probably a clumisy- brute—" He laid bis band over hers on the big hat, and held 'it closely. Elsie Looked up at him. 'from un- dampened n dampened lashes. She ellen smiled plaintively. "No, darling," she sighed. "It's just that you don't always 'think; Of course, I know you can't go dashing around to parties.. Amusing yourself like that. But surely nobody oould criticize you for coming to see me! As a matter of fact, it's criticism that made me hunt you up. 'It's ter- ribly -hard to. tell you. You are So— so sort of sweet, Mark. But when others are involved—" - Mark asked a `surreptitious ques- tion of Itis"wrist watch. He was ap- palled to find only half an hour had passed ice Elsie met him. It seem- ed to in� that he had been shut up here her for weeks. • "I'm- afraid I don't understand," he told her. "I suppose it's stupid of me.• Do you mean somebody we, know is talking "about somebody?° They generally are, , aren't they? Who 'i5 it this time,' and, what are they saying?" ' "They're, talking about you, dar- ling, of• course. Did you imagine' you "Come over sometime," he ,grinned. "Yes?" said Mark loudly. He felt his voice would banish the faint fear that seized him ht the question "I see, sir," said Chiitern ' "Thank you." Mark almost suspected he. really did see. He would not have put it past the man! He said, "Thank you," and went back to Elsie. He got 1n beside .her and started his car. The wind lifted the light brim of Elele's enormous hat, and she caught it eraser. She could hardly' Imagine a man with a chauffeur and three closed oars driving himself to work in, •a two-year-old roadster, like- any labor- er.

"There isnIt. an swore," said Elsie. Mark was staring at the horizon.. His face was quite cold. She began to be very Muck afraid. Perhaps the idea was not so clever as it had seemed when she invented it. " "All I mean is," she went on rather sadly, "people seem to think You're not being quite fair to Va- lerie." Watching him closely, she could see that the allot went home. She continued more confidently "After all, the child is very young, and susceptible to impressions, It doesn't seem quite playing the game to let people gossip—of course it's only for Valerie. I'm just a little afraid nobody is bothering a great deal about Miss Speedwell—" Mark- turned on her like a anon who has.. suddenly ,had enough. "The name is Tredway," he -said." There was something in the way he said it that made Elsie jump. "Of course it is, darling! • You know what an imbecile i am about names! The point is, well — she doesn't seem to be so terribly popu- lar with the few people. who Shave met her." "I wonder if it keeps her.awake night's. .She's popular with.

"But, of course, if you're in love -with her, ,dar- ling— The words were hardly cold be- fore she knew What' a fatal mistake they were. She gathered Up her courage and looked at him_ His face was far from reassuring. "Why do you women always im- agine a man must be in love?" he asked). "Anyway„ count me out. Absolutely." Elsie tried not to read anything more into it than just, the- bare words. But his emphasis on "abso- iutely"' was a bit terrifying. 'She Looked out and saw with astonish- ment' that they had entered the town, and were even now stopping •before her apartment house. Mark got outeat one , nand opened the. door.

But after all, you're over ten!--" She stopped, a little frightened at what she had said She had never seen Mark angry before., It was distinct- ly' disturbing.

He was really wondering how much :longer she intended standing there talking inanities. He could for- give her, suddenly, for the whole silly business. Even for making him miss his swim. "Goodbye—" She tried to put heartbreak into it, and loneliness. Mark turned as if on a released spring, and held out his hand. "Come over sometime," ' he grinned. '"If you're not afraid of our reputation." Real tears sprang to her eyes. She turned quickly' away and walked up to the house. She was afraid he would see the tears. They were of rage, and; even a man would! know the difference. By the time she turned at the door, Mark and the roadster had vanished. (Continued. Newt Week) ''I'd:.

They get what they seek; so deo I. New York's beautiful Church of the Ascension has great wooden doors which open outward, but they are carved on the inside because they are never closed. Every year over 30.000 persons .slip in atodd hours for a moment of quiet meditation. They get what they seek. The remote hamlet of Jonesville, Va., has been molding an annual four- day prayer meeting for over a cen- tury. The day I was there 2,000 'peo- ple were in attendance. Men, women and children, earnest and devout. Re- vival stuff? No. Simple, direct Chris- tianity. Love -thy -neighbor stuff. Good stuff. These people come from hun- dreds of miles around; they get what they seek. Dominican can Sisters at .Corpus Christi Church in. New York conduct- ed a "project" in tolerance in their church school. Na an attack on in- tolerance, but a positive, laboratory experiment in tolerance: This demion- stration by Catholic, Jewish and Pro- testant children raided a wild flurry of hope in my heart; if human beings can do this sort of thing, we'll get this world fixed right yet! When you go to church you should actively seek somethifl'g. You must not go like an empty bucket, waiting passively to be filled. When you go I to a movie, you take at least a sym- pathetic, -hopeful attitude. That's the. least you should bring to a church. Sunday after Sunday; I have seen con- gregations of 1,000 and 1,500 people, apparently getting whatever values they sought. Church attendance, by the way, is bigger than skeptics think and is showing marked increases. Why is one church a power in its community, while others are not? The clergy themselves say ttte personality of the clergyman, is"themost import- ant reason. Naturally, many churches do not° rise above the level of their communities. Churches are human institutions, clergymen are human be- ings.; , they are not all great spiritual leaders. But when they are and they are often)—•they manage to make your relation with God en as- tonishingly practical, 'useful, alluring thing. • While church architecture, furnish- ings and the quality of church music attract or repel worshippers, the clergyman stands out as the most in- fluential factor. Most sermons are surprisingly°good---and useful. Chan- ning Politick recently said that no one can deliver a "vital address" as often as' a cleric must. True, but why miss • the many vital addresses he does deliver? 'Mr. Pollocy said that sermons are remote from world affairs. Yet half those I have heard interpreted, World affairs from the Christian viewpoint. A third of there were concernedexclusively with Gos- pel teachings. Successful churches are those whose clergymen •set forth uncompro-... wising Christianity, sticking closest to Christ's difficult but challenging teaching. That is the great asset of the church. .The more vigorously a church proclaims it, the more people respect and follow that church.. What I like most about going to church isat it turns one's attention willy-nilly, to higher things for at least a little while each week. Man does not live by bread alone; he re- quires some cultivation of the 'spirit. Even when I have wandered into a. church where the minister was dull, the music bad, the interior ugly, I have been compelled by my very presence there to think about things loftier than my daily affairs. That, I know, has been good for me. In a world haunted' by violence, churches da their human best to re- present the spirit. I am warmly gratefhl for that when I am in, church. Sign'thcanitiy, the two nations which are officially anti -church are the na- tions of Communi.sm'and Nazism; the nations where the churches flourish are the democracies, where the spir- it of man is free. It array' be that the d'emocsatie way will not overcome the totalitarian way until and unless the 'democracies somehow crusade under the banner of the church. How can we defeat the destructive dynamics of Nazism and Communism unless we employ the constructive dynamics of the spir- t? William Penn said, "Men must be governed by God or they will be rul- ed by tyrants." The world today is bis witness. - "To love God," say's one minister, '9s' to believe, d'estate every appear- ance to the contrary, that slavery, war and crippling poverty can be banished from the earth, and that conditions favorable to the highest development of the human spirit can be created."

The bathtub is an excellent spot for delicate, high -key snapshots of chil- dren—and these shots are easy with high speed film and photo bulbs. ONE of the most popular spots in the house, for snapshots of small children, is the bathtub. It's a natural location, not only because children are particularly appealing during the daily scrub, but also be- cause the white walls and white tub lend a bright, high -key quality to the pictures. - lphe walls and tub serve both as background and as a series a re- flectors, completely encircling the subject.,Because of all these bright reflections, ehe shadows are very soft and clear—exactly the effect you want in a child picture. This effect can be obtained in other shots if you use several reflectors. of white cloth or cardboard, to dis- tribute the light—and it"s a point well worth remembering. Most in- door snapshots could be improved 100 percent by the use of reflectordi When you take snapshots in the bathroom, keep your photo lights fairly high, so that the light tan get down into the tub. If the bathro`om,, is rather small, one light can often. be placed in a ceilitig fixture, and, moved about as required. For box - camera snapshots, on high speed film, use two No. 2 flood bulbs, with one in a ceiling fixture'and, the other in a bridge lamp 4 feet from the subject. Or, if you prefer to use two bridge lamps with reflec- tors, you can keep them both 4 feet from the subject and have a No. 1 bulb in the second lamp. I prefer the No. 2 bulbs because they give twice as much light and last about three times as long. Iii most bathtub snapshots, the . tub should be just about as bright as the subject. If you need it a bit darker (for example, When the young subject Is having a shampoo and you want the white lather to show) just bring your subject to the near edge of the tub, and tilt the reflectors down a trifle. This shades the ,background just enough —be careful not to darken It too much. estiens nes . l+"o11ow these sgg nett tin* you abbot some tub piettireit of the' "you!igest niember ;' , tsii°11 Mid ' they help make these 'Stnapl- shote even attilietfee L 3 e lam and .17 5'ohlt Van ddilde the other used tl�_�, bridge r� o� ... v u Iw.tii,4,
