That little wretch Kitty has probably

With shaking fingers. Florence he

she asked. Did he give you any idea
of what he wanted?"
Cynthia shook her head "He didn't
say word; but he looks very white
and upset. Tell me; what are you GO
ing to do?"
II don't know; l don't know"
She had finished dressing and was
cramming her things into her small
nightbag. and all the while she was
trying desperately to think Of some
plan. Her thoughts were chaotic
however: she could think Of nothing
and then. as if in q nightmare. she
was going downstairs and into the liv-
ing room, where Richard was waiting
for her.
He rose from chair as she entered
and in that moment it struck her that
she hardly knew her husband All
the placid kindness had been wiped
from his face. leaving it cold and
stern. She had never known il could
look so grim and unyielding and
when she faltered out in a bewildered
tone, What is it, Richard; what has
happened" he cut her short.

Neither spoke during the walk
through the silent little town, and
when they reached their house Rich
ard unlocked the front door and stood
aside for Florence TO enter. Mechani-
cally she walked ahead of him into
the living room and the next moment
was looking into the triumphant eyes
of Kitty.
For a fraction of time no one spoke.
and then Richard turned TO Kitty. 'T
want you TO tell Mrs. Rogers what
you have told me. so that there can
be no mistake about it,"
Kitty tossed her head.

CHAPTER XLIII.
In the Night.

In Cynthia's pretty little guest room
Florence was tossing about restlessly,
trying to sleep. She kept going over
the incidents of the evening, and she
fairly writhed with shame every time
she thought of the way she had
thrown herself at Merton's head. She
had given him every chance to say he
cared. and he had responded by let
ting her see that he had been only
flirting If she had known the truth
she would never have taken the
chance of being seen at the Red Lion
Tavern. She had gone to please Mer-
ton, thinking to make him declare
to tell Richard.
The sound of the door bell echoing
through the silent house brought her
to a sitting position. Her heart was
beating in her throat as she reached
for her dressing gown and threw 1t
around her. The next moment she
was out of bed and opening the door
into the hall. Cynthia, in bathrobe
and slippers, was going downstairs.
Florence hung over the balustrade
as Cynthia opened the outer door
There was murmur of voices, and
then whoever had rung the bell came
into the hall. Who could II be at this
hour of the night? And then. as
Florence caught familiar intonation,
her heart leaked sickenly. 1t was
Richard,
She stood there trembling while
Cynthia snapped on the lights in the
living room and then came swiftly up
stairs. The next moment the two

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are

stimulating influences. any work that
aims at betterment of conditions, or
involves constructive effort. can be
safely essayed, and has every prospect
of enduring success. Ideas that de-
note originality of thought. and call
into play exceptional initiative, will
be more benefited by the prevailing
influences than those duties that are
mechanical. 1t is an auSpicious occa-
sion for travel, by either land or sea.
1t is also an exceptionally favorable
opportunity for the realization OF

who become engaged tomorrow can
count on a speedy and blissful
marriage.
Children born tomorrow will during
the early months of their tender lives
display normal strength and rare re.
cuperative powers. In their second
year they will be subjected TO series
of ailments that. although not involv-
ing danger. will make demands on
patience and care.

natures will be frank. open, COM

If tomorrow is your birthday, YOU
have very decided sense of your
own Importance and dignity. II you
have already achieved any measure Of
material success, and ii is probable
that you have, you pride yourself on
being self-made. and, incidentally,
worship your creator A trifie less

the rough corners of your makeup
"Modesty is to merit what shade Is to

a thought to the comfort or con-

MatserfulneSS is one of your salient
characteristics. and this Distinguishing
trait follows you into the most init

engenders a sort Of awe and a certain
amount of respect. but does not breed

Too Good at Games.

/ Yes, there are girls In the world
who are too good at games.
It's the greatest thing in the world
to be athletic, healthy, vigorous; but
it's bad policy to go too far in this di

Gwen started out in life with in
struction in tennis, golf, swimming
and riding.
She was, at 16, a perfect fiend at
games Of all sorts. She did every
thing well and people admired her
| for it.
But she wasn't long satisfied with
being merely good at games. She
longed to be an expert

| 1t never occurred to her that her

| All the boys her own age or even
older were ashamed of displaying their
| inferior skill to her.
What man. do you suppose, likes to
play tennis with a girl and have her

How can a man feel protective,

No. the men didn't fall for Gwen.

Ho,v to make
Strawberry jam
keep the color and fauor
Of the fresh berries

Your jam will taste enough like
fresh berries to use in strawberry
shortcake if YOU make 1t this new,
easy, short-boil way with Certo.
Save the following recipe to use
for your first batch of strawberry
jam.
Cut in halves lengthwise with
stainless knife about quarts Of
small or medium.sized fully ripe
berries. After halving. weigh out
2 lbs, berries, or measure Az level
cups of berries. packing solidly
into the cup until juice and fruit
come to the top of the cup. Add Z
level cups g lbs.) sugar and mix
we'll. Use hottest fire and stir con.
stantly before and while boiling.
Bring to full rolling boil and boil
hard for to minutes. Remove
from fire and stir in n cup Certo.
Skim and stir repeatedly for just
5 minutes after taking from fire, to
cool slightly. Pour quickly and
cover hot jam at once with hot
melted paraffin.
The short boiling time, possible
only with Certo. prevents the loss
Of delicate flavor and the darken.
ing in color which used to occur
during the old long boil. 1t also
gives you a larger amount Of jam,
since you save the large quantity
OF Juice which used to boil away.
Certo is a pure fruit product
the jellying substance of fruit re-
fined and bottled. A book Of sim
pie recipes comes. with each bottle.
Your grocer carries Certo, or you
can send 10c Gor postage) and get
a trial half-size bottle which will
make from to 10 glasses of jam
or Jelly, depending upon the recipe
used. Address Douglas -Pectin

gether are likely to form an acid con-
dition.
Americans still spend a lot OF money
on meat. though trying to economize
during the war proved to many people
that meat was not essential to their
health. From statistical estimates
gathered by Sherman. 1t appears that
about 40 per cent of the sum spent
yearly for food goes for meat, poultry.
perhaps say the very high cost of
meat Is the reason 50 much money
goes to the butcher.
Overfnduigence In meat eating Is
bad. Many i'll effects are the penance
for this sin. Meat is a protein or
body building food. Too much protein
overtaxes the kidneys. The body is
only able to take care Of about .
ounces Of protein a day. a larger
supply than that amount lays a bur-
den on the waste department.
In animals. the vitamins are chiefly
stored in the liver and kidneys. The
remaining flesh is rather short on
vitamins. Lime is almost entirely
stored in the bones. Most Of the
iron is in the blood. However, in
slaughtering the animal most Of this
iron is lost. According to Sherman so
small quantity is left that an ounce
of beefsteak contains no more iron
than an ounce of spinach. Whole
wheat bread, figs. dates and many
other common vegetable foodstuffs
contain as much or more iron than
does meat, and the iron is of better
quality.
But the amount and quality of the
protein which animal foods milk. eggs
and meat supply is superior to the
protein Of most vegetable foods.
Sedentary workers who do not show
much muscular exertion do not re-
quire as much body building foods to
replace worn-out tissues as. for in
stance. a growing boy would need.
A small amount of meat is all any.

sented to the girl graduate. 20 some

wait patiently for the holidays be-
fore being presented. You will have
discovered she Is a gifted girl whose
gifts are clearly to be seen though

instance 1t is made Of handkerchieis.
which you know vary enormously in
price from the lawn ones that come
at few cents each to those of choice
real lace that often cost hundreds of
dollars apiece. This debutante is apt
to appear in less costly but smart ap-
parel.
Complete Costume.
One. two or three handkerchiefs
form a complete costume. BY cutting
Sits as indicated in the pattern with
a sharp knife in the cardboard from
which the doll is made, a panier
skirt can be fashioned with two ker-
chiefs. BY folding one kerchief dag
onally a shawl can be made to wrap
around her shoulders. Directions for
folding the handkerchief come with

the one you see in the paper today.
The shawl alone can be used, the
paniers alone or both together. In
the last case three kerchiefs are
needed.
How to Make the Doll.
The doll should be traced from the

she should be tinted with water col
