himself upon a squad so whole

far-away monosyllables from him to

CHAPTER CCXI.

The day we moved into our new
apartment brought me face to face
with a side of Val Cosby 1 hadn't
l;nown existed. That spoiled luxur-
ious young beauty showed she could
be generous and thoughtful, too.
At half-past six. just as l was
planning to wash off the CRIME ana
make ready TO go out with Jim to
dinner. the house phone rang.
"Hello, neighbor: this is Val" an
nounced an unmistakable voice OF
rich creaminess. "Of course, the
cook and waitress you Were prom
ised for this noon misunderstood
and will arrive tomorrow"
That's true" 1 managed to say
with a laugh. How did you
guess?"
"I also have moved. I also have
discovered that maids see no ad-
vantage in coming into an apart
ment until it's settled. So I'm send
ing you down your even -" -
IT will arrive in half an hour, to-
gether with my maid and a table
cloth"
How charming! I can't begin to
thank you" I said. feeling grateful
for the thoughtfulness that sent US
a meal to enjoy quietly in our new
home rather than drag us up to the
Cosby apartment for n party.
After we had said good-by I ran
to tell Jim of our luck, and then
hurried off to freshen up bit. /
wished I had something very fine
70 wear at our first meal in the new
home, bus my new clothes weren't
finished and I was too tired to
grope around in my trunk. So I
freshened up my blue serge with
clean collar and cuffs. sadly realiz-
ing that Jim probably wouldn't
notice what I had on anyway.
Hardly was l dressed when Walls
maid arrived, carrying a basket
full to overfiowing. Following her
came a supercilious butler burdened
with a tray. Before they vanished
they had worked such magic that
it seemed the fairy tale Table deck
YOURSELF had been acted in my
home.
The table was covered with a
damask cloth inset with f1let and
Point Venise. In the center was a
silver vase with crimson roses and
white and green orchids - Vars
flowers, not mine. as lilacs or car
nations would have seemed. There
were enormous ripe olives. salted
pitache nuts and white and green
mints in silver compotes. At each
plate was a SQUAD with wild rice
and souffle potatoes, an artichoke
hollandaise and a roll. on the
serving table were two individual
strawberry shortcakes and a coffee
service. There was nothing to
serve. A chicken to carve and
share would have seemed so much
more intimate TO me. But Jim was
delighted with his dinner and cried
out boyishly:

Dear Miss Fairfax:

l wonder il you do not give this
young man cause to stare at you. as
you appear to have him so acutely
on your mind. You complain that he
is conceited, and at the same time
you would like to know him. Would
you really enjoy meeting a conceited

Washington-The two great needs
of South American countries are
greater population and adequate

SWEET TOOTHC COST
SLATED FOR BOOST

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 10
Robert r. CleeIand. of this city, presi-
dent OF the National Confectioners'
Association, addressing the thirty
sixth convention in its opening ses-
sion today, predicted that the costs
of manufacture would remain high
and costs of raw material would in
crease rather than diminish, and that
no relief could be expected in lower
wages. In fact. he said, an effort
should be made to maintain the pres
ent wage standard.
He said that it is probable that all
industry would continue to return to
the Government a larger proportion
of earnings than in pre-war days
The transition period is the danger
Gus one il extended. The railroads
afford an example OF the obstacles
that block progress. He hoped that
Congress would be convinced that
business can be administered safely
by business men and that Govern
ment operation is a luxury the
country cannot afford. The effect

drink was informally discussed by
members, many believing that it will

OF Canterbury proposes to examine
members of the House OF Lords in
general knowledge. He has obtained
a copy OF the general knowledge test
consisting of $50 questions which
the girls at a Pimlico school had to
answer in a recent examination.
These questions the archbishop
considers to be unfair and to call at
tention to his objections he intends
to buttonhoIe different members of
the House of Peers and test their
knowledge. Among the questions
are the following:
What minerals make Spitzbergen
valuable?
What royal personages would you
connect With two blind eyes and
lame foot?
What regiment is the DIRTY Half
Hundred"
Give names Of two underground
rivers in London.
Whereabouts is Drs. Commons?
In what sort of a place was the
armistice signed?
Given generally accepted meaning
of "Pukka" and "CumshaW.
What did Tom Browne cook for
the first time for supper at Rugby?
How many eggs should you say
