~ anger toward Isabel. She resented
her superior attitude. and could not i'm
agine why in the world she adopted II.
The somewhat throaty soprano fin
ished her solo, and almost Immediately,
as though to placate the bored people
who had listened through the cabaret
number, tho orchestra struck up a brisk
fox trot.
Come on" said Isabel. starting up,
| Tets not miss any of IT, And Bill
was instantly on his feet guiding Isabel
through the maze of dancers that had
sprung up as thought by magic every
where.
Isabel was at her best dancing. She
was 1.-THE almost to thnness and ultra
smart in the simple things that fashion
was insisting upon just at present. Her
sophisticated little face with it's slightly
bored expression. and the wel-bred ap-
pearance that she always had made her
noticeable on the dance floor, even If her
dancing hadn't been flawless.
Their drinks had come and Ruth was
slipping hers.
Shall we dancer" Scott queried.
Let's watch them" Ruth returned
and followed Isabel with her eyes about
the room. When she looked toward
Scott again he, too, was watching Isabel.
A queer little ineXplicable feeling went
through Ruth as she noticed this. There
seemed to be look almost of absorp-
ton in Scott's eyes
"Isabels a good dancer, isn't she?'
she observed after she had watched Scott
for a minute or two.
Wonderful, l never knew she danced
40 we'll"
We'll, of course, she dances will with
Bill" Ruth said dryly. Their steps
match beautifully. and there's n lot in
dancing with any one you're accustomed
to-" This was one of the queer one
sided compliments that one woman is
apt to give another, There was, Of
course the implication that with any one
else, although Isabel danced well, she
would not dance so perfectly.
Scott said nothing and then the music
stopped and Isabel, still calm and un-
fiurried, followed by Bill returned to the
table,
"The music is really very good" she
remarked i'll her unenthusastic manner.
She did not seem to be flushed nor ruff
fed at all by the dance. Ruth always
marveed at Isabel's absolute calm.
"Will you have the next dance with
me-" Scott asked suddenly
"Of course Isabel returned, as
though it were q matter of course. and
Ruth famed inwardly. Why should
Scott ask Isabel to dance before he had
danced with his wife? OF course it was
all right TO exchange later, but at least
he might have asked her 10 dance first.
Ruth hardly heard the tenor who sang
ballad very touchingly, so angry was
she at Scotts attitude. She hardly
heard the comic antics of the couple
that followed him. She was waiting
for the music to strike up the next

Take up some kind of work or recrea e
tion that will find new surroundings and
new friends for you. Co to night school,
for instance. and take up some inter

ones. Then make up your mind TO go
around with the boys you do know.
This may be an effort at first, but even
if IL hurts you try entering into it with
all your heart and soul and pretty soon
you will find that you will really enjoy
Yourself. After all, dear, the boy never
declared his love for you. and anyway, if
he had this inconstant sort of love
would make you unhappy all your life.

she was dead. She quite suddenly hated
Isabel.
The orchestra struck up a one-stepI
and she watched Scott step across and
laughngly claim Isabel for the dance.
Then she realized that Bill was asking
her to dance, and she rose obediently
and swung into the step. Round and
round tho room they swept, Ruth's eyes
always following Isabel and Scott. She
saw Isabel look up at Scott as she
danced; she was talking quite ami
matedly about something and Scott was
laughing. They danced beautifully to-
gether In n dream Ruth followed the
steps with Bill; she made no attempt
to entertain him beyond answering his
few remarks with monosyllables.
Then at last the dance was over and
they were back at the table. over her
| claret lemonade Ruth watched Scott
cross the floor with Isabel. He smiled
into Ruth's eyes as he sat down next to
her. hut Ruth did not smile back. She
looked past him stonily and answered
lsabers questions woodenly.
This time there was no cabaret be-
tween the dances, for the orchestra be-
gan a waltz. of all dances the one that
Ruth loved best of all. Scott leaned
across to her
shall we dance?" he asked.
why don't you and Isabel dance
this?' Ruth returned quickly You
look so well together"
Scott looked at her surprised and
hurt. All of his boyishness looked out
of his eyes If Ruth had not been so
angry she would have seen that he was
utterly unconscious of having done any
thing to hurt her. But she was angry
and he saw that she was.
will you dance ths?" he asked,
turning to Isabel.
She laughed and instantly rose Ruth

do made any difference, he was bent on

RACK in the early days of yester-
year, before the days of the
kitchen stoves and ranges, the open
fireplace in the kitchen was the heart
of the house. Here the family gath
cred in the long winter evenings.
while the cold winter blasts shook
the house and ratified the shutters
and the snow and singing sleet
drifted in piles against the door and
windows. There. as the fire shed its
soft light upon the glowing faces of
the family circle, apples were
roasted, cider muled and doughnuts
and popcorn eaten. Over the blaz-
ing logs extended long-armed
swinging crane with its pot of boil
ing water.
The hanging of the crane marked
the birth of the home. The open
fireplace not only cared for the food
and physical comfort of the family,
but also many hallowed and pleasant
associations, which were the center
of every household, had their begin
nings there.
Nowadays few of US have the open
fireplace, but in its place we have
the chafing dish and the electric grill.
Have the family assemble around the
table, stone the dates and prunes and
stuff them with nuts; stuff the figs
with marshmalows or chopped
raisins. Make a pan of fudge as
follows:
TCo cupfuls of sugar,
Seren tablespoonfuis OF mis-,
Three tableSpooufuls of cocoa,
Two tablespoonfuls Of butter.
Place in a saucepan and boil until
it forms a soft ball when tried in
cold water. Then remove from the
fire and partly cool and then beat
until creamy. Pour on a CREASED
platter and then, when cold, cut into
small squarees.
Make a cup of cocoa on the cleo
tric grill.
Cocoa
Two cupfulS of milk,
One cupfM Of cater,
Three tablespoonfulS of cocoa.
Work cocoa to a smooth paste in
one-half cupful of boiling water, add
to the milk and water. Bring to
boil and beat continually with a wire
whip unit ! the boiling point is
reached; then remove and sweeten
to taste. Now place a marshmallow
