CHAPTER NNII
Plans Under Way.

Marks confession went a long way
toward restoring Jessica's confidence.
With interests, above all heart in.
terests of his own in view, she felt
that he had abandoned hers, and she
began to let herself like him again.
There were times, too, when she
wondered about his romance. She
hoped this Irene Martin was worthy
Of him. And then she would catch
herself up and laugh, because she
realized that her attitude about him
was very like the one he had at
frst adopted toward her.
Mark was making himself very
charming and agreeable these days
even to a young ward. He did not
20 to the city every morning as he
had at first, and whenever Jessica had
nothing better to do she devoted
few moments to him. In a sense,
she had forgiven him for his attack
against Ray. Older people were
always prejudiced and Mark was
likable. AS long as he had decideo
to make the best of things, why
should she keep up a feud with him?
But while Mark was seeking to
regain Jessica's confidence, he was
also doing other, more practlcai
things.

Dieting for Pimples.

Dear Miss Leeds have for some

methods to rid myself Of them, but

prescribe a diet for me. NJ. r.
Answer-You are on the right track,
my dear. when you omit candy and
rich rastries from your diet. For
breakfast begin with fruit tan orange
or ample will do) then have some whole
grain cereal. n beverage without sugar
and poached egg on toast. You may
eat brown bread and butter. Avoid
fried foods. For luncheon have glass
of milk. vegetable soup. crackers,
baked macaroni with cheese. vegetable
salad and an apple or other raw fruit.
For dinner you may have. in addition
TO meat Tor meat substltute) and pota-
toes, two different kinds of succulent
vegetables, like spinach. tomatoes, cab
bage. caulifower, beets. carrots. tur-
ntps, etc, and n salad of lettuce or
coleslaw. For desert teke fruit, pref
erably raw. Yo,. may also have bread
and some sort Of hot beverage other
than cocoa or coffee. If you are in
your teens or nearly twenties you will
probably outgrow the pimples in a
few years. Keep you skin scrupulous-
" clean. Battle the pimples in boric
acid solution both before and after
pressing out the pus. A touch of
colorless iodine applied to a new

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE

Good and evil stars contend tomor-
row, according to astrologers, who
warn that there may be much
thwarting of plans under this planet
airy rule.
This may be a most unlucky time
to deal with superiors in rank or age,
and it is wise to postpone all inn
portant matters.
While there is q promising sign for
those who seek employment they may
be impeded in whatever they under
take while this configuration prevails
The evening is fairly favorable for
association with men in high place
and banquets should be successful.
The evening is fortunate for letter

fits through them, it is forecast.
In the Autumn of this year the
transit of Mercury across the disc of
the sun Is believed to be followed by
distress in many parts Of the world.
Persons whose birth date it is
should stick to their jobs and resist
the temptation to speculate in real
estate in the coming year.
Children born on that day prob
ably will be industrious and clever.
They should prosper marvelously
through their own talents.

and supplies that were needed. Then
Mrs Morse could get the place cleaned
up before he kidnapped eJssica. Thus

FOOD AND HEATH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

The words, invalid cookery. seem
to suggest only such dishes as are
suitable to serve in the sick room

borrow some ideas from the invalid
dietary that will be welcomed warmly
by those who are well.
Take iunket. for example. I'm
duestionably. iunket serves it's great
est use in the sick room. The addi
ton of rennet to milk converts the
solid part into creamy mass that
is especially easy to digest. This
same creamy mass, however, lends
itself specially well to the making OF

For a light dessert. try matted milk

use two medium sized bananas, five
cups of cold water. two tablespoons
of sugar, a. few drops of any flavor

salt and sixteen level tablespoons of

pared by crushing the bananas. add

Matted milk added to prune whip
is another attractive dessert, and
matted milk custard is still another.

the purpose of giving recipes. The
purpose Of this particular article is
to call the housewives attention to
the advantages of studying so-called
invalid dishes with a view to incor.
porating the more attractive ones in

very attractive desserts. With some
time put on the study of fiavors and
even more time put on dressing up
the delicately favored junkets, we
may have. at small expense, any
number OF attractive desserts.
The junket should be served in
sherbet glasses and special attention
should he given to decoration with
fruits. Glace fruits lend themselves
especially well to such combinations.
Shredded and sifted over the top of
the junket, candied ginger, orange
peel and other glace fruits improve
not only the flavor, but add to the
food value of the junket as well.
Matted milk is another product us
ually thought of solely in connection
with the sick room. AS a matter of
fact, matted milk may enter into the
composition of dishes that frequently
take an honored place in the every
C3V menu.
