 paper from Preston's hand. The
 letters across the top were bold, blatant in their declaration of the horrible tragedy. With trembling hands, she read:
 Long Island Village Razed by Fire. Million Dollar Loss. Many Persons Killed or Injured"
 She read on, her eyes devour- ing each word. It seemed as if the hand of a giant had gripped strong fingers about her heart and she could not breathe. The casual ties were listed-then the injured. Preston's wife and baby daughter were among the latter.
 "They're not dead" Preston said, hollowly, eyeing her intensely. "The paper does not say they're dead. They've been listed under the injured"
 Then there's every hope," Kitty whispered tenderly. "You must go to them at once."
 He closed his eyes and turned his head from her scrutiny in the agony of despair. A paroxysm of fear gripped him. What was this. strange thing fate had thrown into the wheel of his smooth plan for happiness? Why should this ac- cident occur just at this crucial time when he was on his way to

Engagements
.SYCHOLOGISTS tell us that

PSYCHOLOGISTS tell us that the old-fashioned idea of a % long engagement period be- fore marriage is no longer de- sirable.
 Usually the bride is entertained with lavish indulgence during this time and because of the etiquette code which governs such affairs, she feels in duty bound to accept the many invitations. As a con- sequence, the bride is forced to take on the responsibilities of a new home with frayed nerves. 'Quarrels ensue, the bridal. couple begin their married life with a series of misunderstanding which could have been avoided by a smile.
 Nerves and smiles are not good friends. So our psychologist friends shake their heads in the negative when a vote on the long engagement is taken. Just what the stated length of an engagement should be depends much on circum- stances governing the individuals.

The Giving of an Introduction and the Acknowledgement of it Should Be a Pleasure, Otherwise, Why Bother About It7
 derstand that the past due pay ment on the electric washer is not to be discussed by any possible stretch of the imagination. It also lets your friend know that 1t is not necessary to more than acknowl- edge any future meetings, unless your friend desires to do so. It is not the concern of your neighbor who your friend is, unless you especially desire to open the way for further acquaintance. ]
 If you happen to have someone Of prominence in tow, never say: Mrs. Johnston, may present MT. Paynter? Mir. Paynter is writer"
 It becomes obvious that your friends prominence is uppermost in your mind. We should love and value our friend regardless, or in spite of his accomplishments. If in the course of conversation you have an opportunity to say some thing about Mir. Paynter's en- deavors, do so. But do not make it obvious.
 On the other hand if two per sons have the same interests, you may say:
 "Mr. Parker, MT. Buchanan. You both write, so you should have much in common"
 In introducing a group of persons awkwardness may be eliminated by. simply saying:
 MT. Evans, Mrs. Murray, Miss Elvins. MT. Wilson," and so on down the group. It is very suited to repeat the name of the individual each time. However, be sure the individual being presented does not confuse the names. He might be- lieve Mrs. Murphy to be Miss FL wins, or vice versa. If Mir. Evans makes this mistake, it is quite sim pie to say, laughingly:
 "This mixup' is likely to cause domestic trouble. The lady fin black is Mrs. Murphy"
 If 1t isn't strengthened up MT. Evans may be talking to MT. Mur. phy later on and say. ,%
 That woman in black is an awful dumbbell, isn't she"
 ( Imagine the consequences.
 In the end remember the fact that two persons you introduce may not at all be suited to each other Therefore, in bringing people to. gether. 1t is always well first to think 1t over carefully.

Crisp Salads for Warm Days

A SALAD that is attractive as "A well as delectable is always
 = welcomed by jaded appetites of hot weather days.
 An especially appetizing and quite new one is rather an orig. inal departure from the regulation combination salad.
 Drain the juice from a can of Bartlett pears. Wash a head of lettuce thoroughly, drain, then crisp on ice. Remove contents of can of pimentos. Also chill on ice with the pears and lettuce.
 When preparing the salad select firm, crisp lettuce leaves, placing same on individual plates with the narrow portion of each leaf touch ing in the center of the plate. On alternate leaves place a quarter of pear. On the remaining leaves place a strip of pimento. Down the

calling aloud for Marion and his baby, Cherie.
 There was no answer! Howard came downstairs with thudding steps, his face ashen.
 Where can they be?" he asked. helplessly.
 "Perhaps-perhaps they've been taken to hospital" Kitty ven- tured.
 My God-Cherie at a hospital? But where? We've never had any illness. I scarcely know where to Q turn"
 Let me ask your neighbor," Kitty suggested, going quickly through the doo-. The house across the street had been un- touched by flames and quiet little woman sat reading her newspaper on the front porch.
 Kitty promptly discovered that Preston's family had taken refuge in house two blocks down the street. Preston knew the people and they hastened there immedi- ately.
 With frightened eyes he entered and asked for Marion and Cherie. Kitty followed. And then the first %ush of her guilt suffused her body when she looked straight into the cool, clear eyes of Preston's wife.
 "Where Is she, in Gods name?" Preston begged his wife, as they entered the little darkened parlor of Mrs. Bickling's home. Where's my darling?" ..
 Compose yourself, Howard" she commanded. "Cherie has been in- jured. I'd left her playing in the nursery when the flames caught our house. But she'll pull through if we have faith"
 Shall I go with you?" Kitty asked, solemnly. "I came along thinking MT. Preston might need some assistance. I hope I've not intruded."
 "On the contrary" Mrs. Preston replied. 'I'd been wanting to see you for some time, Miss Martin. I've something I want to talk over with you."

!: Of all the times when boise and a gracious manner are invaluable, that time is when meeting people for; the first time. First impress sions DO count, tremendously.
 The giving of an introduction and its acknowledgement should be a pleasure. Otherwise, why bother with it? The function of an intro duction is to bring. together persons who do not know each other. This is done in the belief that those per sons will find pleasure in one an- others companionship. It should be a pleasurable task, the fulfillment Of which should bring no,i embar. rassment to any of the persons con cerned. :.
 Yet I have heard a great many say: 4
 "Pd rather die than introduce people. It's so awkward.
 If you are the person giving the introduction, the first thing to re- member is each individual has a name and that name should be spoken clearly in order that the hitherto unknown persons are not left in doubt as to the names of one another.
 Tn names of one or two syllables. such as: Wilson, Murray, Wheeler. Doyle, as we'll as Smith, Jones and . Brown, there is not much danger of confusion. But with longer and more unusual names, greater care must be exercised.

may be served with the salad, 90 cording to individual taste.
 An economical and time-saving method in the preparation of a French dressing is to prepare suf- ficient quantity 7 to last several days. A dressing that can be used with almost any salad is one pre- pared with the desired amount of pepper. salt, very little granulated sugar and dry mustard. To this add sufficient catsup to make a thick paste. To this paste add and mix well your salad oil. Dilute your vinegar with water, heat and add slowly, stirring constantly, to the paste. Allow the dressing to cool in the mixing bowl. When cooled, pour in bottle and place in refrigerator, where it will be a well come time-saver when hurriedly preparing & salad on a hot day.

 a new life with the woman he adored? Only for the fraction of a second did these thoughts pass through his mind. Instinctip ely, he began to walk across the station to the waiting room from which they had just emerged.
 Kitty clung desperately to his arm, her eyes large and round, her head aching madly from the shock.
 "I'm going out there with you, Howard" she announced calmly. 'I love you too we'll to have you suffer it alone. They'll never know. We can keep our secret. You must do your duty now"
 q must" he repeated, slowly. 'I could do nothing else"
 In the maze of details which followed they forgot all about their baggage until Preston came upon the porter he had sent with his checks. Blinking his amazement at the action of this strange couple, the porter took the baggage back to the check room to await further orders.
 Preston glanced at the station clock and tugged neryously at Kitty's arm. They had just two minutes to catch the train that would take them to Preston's Summer home. Kitty followed. It was as if there could be no argument over her place at his side. He needed her now more than ever. Adoringly she followed him, trying to think up the more cheerful aspects of the tragic sit uation.
 Once in the train he turned his, eyes, dulled by the agaony of sus-' pense and despair, upon her. But he said nothing. Words were iu- adeuuate with which to express the ache that famed in his heart. It was inexpressib1e, yet he could not understand it himself. Hadn't he made up his mind that he did not love Marion? Hadn't he fought out his own emotions until he knew that only one path was open to him and to Kitty? Of his decision, but tweny-four hours before, he had had no qualm of conscience And now, at the very hour of his slipping the sweet nectar of this new love, destiny had interfered. His own strange emotions annoyed him quite as poignantly as the peculiar pain he found gnawing at his heart.
 They reached the charred house in a taxi which Preston found at the station. In quick bounds he went up the stairs at once to the bedroom above. Kitty stood quietly below, waiting for Preston's call. In moment she heard his voice, husky with fear, trembling in tone,

 Kitchen

N MODERN apartments are built NV with small kitchens, most
 avs" of the space being reserved for the living room and bedrooms. Yet the small kitchen can be made ideal for efficiency if the equip ment is carefully selected and placed.
 Drop-leaf shelves are a splendid help when preparing food. The shelf can be attached to a wall space by hinges with a brace be- heath the board. When not in use the shelf Is lowered so that it lies flat against the wall and does not take up any of the kitchen space.
 Have your cupboards arranged so that utensils which are likely to be used at the same time will be placed near each other. This will avoid waste of time in hunting up the various articles. A compact closet can be built in a spare cor ner or in narrow space which usually exists between ice box and dish closet. and this closet will be just the right proportions to house brooms, mops, vacuum cleaner and laundry equipment.
 It is good plan to store extra dishes, large platters and table novelties on the top shelf of the dish closet. where they need be dis turbed only occasionally. Place all dishes in, everyday use on the lower shelves where they can be readily reached. Utility forks, knives. spoons and such equipment can be placed in drawer beneath the drain board of the sink (provided the service table is a drop shelf). Or this sort of equipment can be suspended on small hooks which have been screwed into a strip of moulding tackled above the service shelf.
 Look around your kitchen and dis cover its possibilities for saving time and work. You will be amazed at the steps you can save by mak- ing 1t compact.

 An asbestos plate is set over the flame on the top of your stove. Set pan over this plate and into the pan place the one or two po- tatoes you wish to bake, over the top securely and allo wthe pota- toes to cook slowly until mealy when pierced with a fork.

WEI you please give me a little advice on the color draperies to be selected for a room done in blue and tan? The rug has these two shades, the furniture Is golden oak, upholstered in brown leather and have blue runner on my table.
 MRS. H. c. c.
 Select your curtains, of patterned fabric, either silk or cretonne, and have a dash of rose or orange in the coloring. A floral pattern is pretty and you can select a tan, black and blue background with yellow crysantheum or a rambler rose through it. If your room is small. a striped pattern will add height to the room. Also avoid choosing figures that are too large, as this pattern will make your windows appear smaller. If you prefer a plain colored curtain I would suggest shade of yellowish green known as "lime," or else plain pongee silk draperies.
