"Kitty's glorious, curly head toppled to Preston's shoulder where she let it rest; neither of them spoke for a long while."
 T'm having a perfectly lovely time, Pres. Why do you want to leave?"
 Kitty threw cynical little look toward Patsy, the dark-eyed siren who had taken Howard Preston under her care little earlier.
 "I think you'd better, Kath- erine. You're not accustomed to late hours-and strong liquor. I'd rather you wouldn't"
 "Oh, don't spoil our nice party" she begged, as Sheridan lifted the bottle to pour another round of drinks for the crowd.
 ''Do you mean you'd rather stay cl, regardless of my wishes?" There was a bitter note of re- proach in Preston's voice.
 Patsy came mincing across the room. She stood for a moment before Preston and lifted one deli, cate finger to his lips.
 Don't be such a fussy, fussy," she teased. "Come over and sit down next to me, Pres. Your girl friend has also fallen for the willy charm of our gorgeous host. Now be like your own sweet self and come along," she coaxed, catching Preston's hand and drawing him toward one corner of the room.
 "Well done, Patsy" smiled Sheridan, as Preston was carried off.
 But his interest was distracted for only brief moment. The new round of cocktails was served and Kitty found Preston once again at her side.
 "Katherine," he said sternly, "you had better leave before there's a scene. I'm going to take you home this minute whether you li'e it or not"
 She saw the angry flash of his eyes and a grim determination was evident in the tightening of his us- ually full lips.
 He procured her wrap and fold ed it gently about her as he made a low bow to the assemblage.
 "I take my lady to a safer realm, though perhaps a less in- teresting one" Preston announced in an attempt to make his nasty departure as graceful as he knew how.
 You'll promise to bring her again." Jack Sheridan asked, as he smiled into Kitty's deep blue eyes.
 Preston did not reply. He dou-

Small Hats Stay

n ESPITE the prediction that the O small hat would pass out of style when the midsummer sun be- gan to cast its rays over Milady's face, it remains in vogue.
 Smart and dressy are the new shapes, related in line and design to the popular cloche. These new hats have slightly wider brims and are adorned by tufts of gros-grain ribbon rather than by the more bizarre Summer foliage.
 Folds of moire or gros-grain rib bon are used as rosettes, bows, and fiat trimming. The ribbon trim ming is finished with a metal buckle.
 In place of the black and white combination trimming which was noted earlier in the season, all black or all white hats are the craze. Either neutral color is trim med with ribbons, and few of the dressier models show flowers and lace.

Any number of de- licious beverages can be made up with iced tea as the foundation. Steep, dilute and chill a large pot of tea.

bled his fist and poked it playfully into the ribs of his host. And in that movement Kitty realized that Preston's protective attitude was perhaps a little more significant than either of them had hereti- fore realized.
 But another and more poignant revelation came to Preston as he attempted to escort Kitty down the many flights of stairs. He saw that she was unsteady on her feet. And once. when her body swayed slightly forward, he caught her around the waist and held her steady for a moment.
 "You are NOT a sweet little flower tonight" he scolded ten derly. "And Pm sorry. I rather hoped you wouldn't indulge"
 Kitty looked at him, puzzled.
 "I was trying to be friendly" she explained. q didn't want to be a prude-for your sake"
 He smiled graphically and quick ly caught her by the arm. When they had reached the curb Preston hailed passing taxi.
 Kitty's glorious curly head rest ed for moment on the back of the seat, then it gently toppled to Preston's shoulder where she let it rest. Neither of them spoke for a long while. Then, as if waking from the stupor into which Kitty had fallen, she looked up quickly and glanced through the window to see if they had almost arrived at her home. t.
 "Where are we, Pres? Where's this crazy chauffeur taking us p
 "To my studio," Preston replied calmly. "I'm going to make you some black coffee and give you a severe scolding, young lady. I never want to be ashamed to meet your mother"

Y ARGE hats, small hats, hats
 of perky prettiness - these
 are among the selections one can make for her Summer mil linery.
 Of course, the wide-brimmed hat of light straw or silk is always ac- ceptable during the days when. sunshine is strong and complexions MUST be protected. This season, however, fashion ushers in a host of lovely models, each appropriate for its own costume.
 The felt hat is the hat for sports.

TTAFFETA parasols are among | the accessories for midsummer wear.
 The popularity of the long neck lace has been revived. Slender chains of transparent beads serve as trimming on a simple, one-piece frock.
 Ostrich feather trimming is noted among styles for evening wear. The fues are placed in tiers on the skirt or rows of the fluffy feathers are employed as collars and cuffs on evening wraps.
 Gauntlet gloves are worn with frocks showing short sleeves. There is no pretense to have the glove reach the sleeve end, the arm ap- bearing mostly uncovered.

wrY DEAR MRS. WILSON:

WI I have difficulty in making m~ strawberry jelly each year, and my friends tell me the cause of it's not jellying is due to the fact that I omit cooking an apple with the strawberries. Is this true?
 MARY r.
 The pectin of a fruit is the sub stance which causes the 'jell" to form. Unless your strawberries are at the exact stage of ripeness when will not form into jelly. By adding an apple or two to the mass while cooking, you merely add an extra quantity of pectin for safety's sake.

Omar Khayyam.

Omar Khayyam whose poem, "Ihe
Rubaiyat," was translated by Fitz-
gerald. was a Persian poet, astrono-
mer and mathematician, living in the
Eleventh and Twelfth centuries. Born
at Nishapur in Khorasan and educated
there, he became the royal astrono-
mer, revised the Persian calendar,
wrote an extremely important treatise
on algebra, and is believed to have
discovered the binomial theorem. The
"Rubaiyat," meaning "a collection OF
Quatrains,' was brought into modern
fame when Edward Fitzgerald trans
lated one hundred of the more than
five hundred existing specimens The
love of nature, the regret for the
Swiftness of life, the pleasure of love
and the strain of gentle melancholy
have made these verses among the
most popular of literature.
