Wreck survivors
tell how tobacco
kept them going
When food and water gave
out on third day, they
smoked until rescued

Perhaps they were only pirates Of
the sea, and deserved no great charity
from the hand of Fate. Nevertheless,
they we're very much human beings
when they found themselves miles out
to sea adrift in an open boat.
With two days supply of food and
water, they confidently expected to
be rescued in plenty of time. But
when the third day passed and no
friendly sail appeared on the horizon,
it began to look like a case for Davy
Jones's locker.
One of the victims, crazy with
thirst, suggested that they divide a
bottle of iodine and end the agony
quickly.
"The tobacco hasn't given out yet"
said another. Lets stick it out a
while longer" And they did.
Late in the afternoon of the fifth
day a tramp schooner saw their dis
tress signals and came valiantly to
the rescue.

at all was tobacco" one of the survi-

had haunted him ever since
Wayne had told him about his
engagement. He tried to consider
his sons happiness alone. Its

A whimsical smile played over
his face at the thought of the
elfin, little bobbed- haired girl who
was soon to be his youngest
daughter.in.law. Sam, his oldest
son, had married a tall, dis
tinguished lady of title: Henry, jr.,
the second son, well-known
musical comedy star, and Will
liam, an aspiring leader of wom-
ems clubs. But Wayne, his
youngest son, was now going to
marry what his three brothers
termed a modern, little flapper"
The first evening Henry Harris
had met her, Wayne's Mary had
told him she was coming to live
in his big house on the avenue.
'I don't want to take Wayne
away from you and make it I'M

SMART SPRING
HATS
BY Rita Stuyvesant.

no interesting are the hats
- for spring wear that they
~ lend charm to the entire cos
tune.
A felt hat, dashing yet truly
feminine, is a reproduction of
Rose Descat model, and shows Il
short veil that conceals the eyes.
The veil is of a fine mesh, with
tiny. scalloped edge, and is at
tached to the slightly turned
down brim of the hat. One finds
this hat in rose, tan, beige. blue,
Lanvin green and orchid.
A study in black and white is
expressed through the medium Of
black cire straw and gardenias.
The hat is a softly draped turban
that fits close to the head, and
the gardenias are arranged in
clusters at the ears. Worn with
a sports costume of black and
white, this hat is most effective.
Or it might accompany the spring
suit to advantage, or top the
black crepe afternoon gown.
For southern wear there is a
stunning hat of white hemp that
relies solely on it's good lines and
becoming size to insure its sue
cess. 1t is of that flattering size
that is neither very large nor yet
small, and the top part of the
brim is trimmed with pleated
georgette. One would find many
uses for this neutral hat, for 1t
could be worn with any colored
costume and would in no way be
out of harmony with the whole.
For sports and informal occa-
sions the designers lean toward
felt with straw trimming.
A strictly tailored hat Of black
cire follows graceful lines and a
smart ornament for trimming. 1t
has a soft crown that fits the
head deeply. and the brim flares
back all around 1t is a little
broader at the sides and shows a.
dashing pin of jet thrust into the
side at a rakish angle. 1t is suit
able for the spring suit or trico.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
A young man and woman
are going about together. The
young lady Is a beautiful girl,
happy, jolly. with no thought
about tomorrow, while the young
man is more serious, though low
ing a good time, but is always
thinking about and planning for
tomorrow.
Now, do you think this young
couple should marry, and would
their differing dispositions clash?
AN ADMIRER.
THE mans attitude is the con-
structive one. Isn't he strong
enough and firmly enough
grounded in his realization that
we cannot live for today alone to
make the girl realize it, too? OF
course, If he is miserly and she a
spendthrift they are bound to dis
agree, and their disagreements
may turn to quarrels. But unless
both are stubborn extremists they
ought to be able to figure out a
working basis for a happy life to-

knew more OF love than most
folks of forty" he decided.
"And that's what counts" he
whispered slowly and tried not to
dream, too.
Then he saw the little ivory
card on his desk. 1t had a tiny
blue cornflower on the corner and
Waynes and Mary's name under
the flower. He turned it over in
his hands and read on the other
side, "My Miss Mary's name is
Mary Fairchilds. You knew her
the summer you visited your
uncle. Remember? If you do, you'll
find her at 1856 Blaine avenue"
MARY Fairchild! Mary. Mary
Fairchild," Henry Harris repeat
ed over and over.
Yes, it had been Mary Fair
child who had brought, him
vouthful dream of romance on
the best summer he had known.
Folks had said then they were
too Young. She had been sent
back to school, and he to the city
to make fortune. For a while,
there had been beaut1tul
memory. Then it, too, had gone,
buried under a stock of golden
coins.
But wayne's Mary had bat
tered down the coins few
months ago and made him know
that love, though he and his
older three sons had missed IT,
was the greatest thing in the
world. Now she had come to
him again, wistful little vision
in maize muslin and cornflower
blue to remind him of the time
when he, too, had known love.
A little later he wondered again
when he entered his car and gave
the address on the card that
Wayne's Mary had left on his desk.
But his wonder all left when he
reached that home. The corn
flower sash was a thing of the
past. but the cornflower blue was
still in her eyes, and the wistful.
virgin heart still holding her
wealth of love for him.

out all those things, very happy

the seminary, you know. She has
white hair now but it's beautiful.
She's the teacher who coaxed
mother to let me quit school and
marry Wayne right away instead
Of going on three years longer as
folks said should do"
The little fiancee cuddled closer
to her father-in-law's arm, and
went on talking. "She wanted to
quit school once, and marry the
boy she loved, but nobody coaxed
her mother to let her do it. Then
the boy went away and she taught
school for thirty years. Once
she had a dress exactly like this"
Wayne's dark boyish head stuck
itself through the suddenly open

fiancee's presence for their last
engagement tea" Immediately
she danced toward him, looking
more absurdly young than ever

were both absurdly young, as his

Philip Mottisfont, K. c., was
called by the crown counsel and
sworn. An intense wave of in
terest swept through the court.
His face was pale, but confident
and perfectly calm. For one
moment he met the eyes of his
wife in the dock; in that moment
swift message of love and
faith passed between them, and
he faced the counsel for the
prosecution.
You are,' said Sir Charles
gently. ''the husband of Mrs.

And the tenant of the flat in

THAT is so"

spinster she successfully claimed

Yes"
when and where did your
marriage take placer"
Mottisfont gave the name OF

AT that time" said Sir
Charles "the present Lady Tall

Miss Joan Tallbois. convinced that
she herself could not fight the
case, had abandoned it and left
Knayth Abbey for good. You
did not advise her to contest
the CLAMP"
"I knew 1t was useless. I
had seen the evidence"
Then" said Sir Charles slow
", you fulfilled your engage
ment honorably and married a
lady who had, at one blow, lost
all that great wealth and social
position which had formerly
been hers?'
Philip bowed his head in as
sent. Every eye in the court
was upon him, many eyes were
moist. The stout man in the
gallery looked puzzled.

the Knayth estate?"
Through no fault OF hers"
said Philip sternly, "a lady who
had suffered for the infamy OF
