shirked an issue, never avoided
problem. Fate meant me to come here
tonight. But I've told you this
dozen times"
"And don't you think that Fate a.so
means US to care for each other ?"
"I've answered that before, Tim, but
I'll answer lit again. I'd rather be
dead than let your hands rest upon
me; I'd rather be dead and condemned
to eternal hell than let you kiss me.
Now, is the answer clear"
Later, sheer, stark panic over
whelmed her. She was trapped,
caught, at what mercy this beast, this
mailman, chose to extend TO her.
And even as she recognized this fact
a knock sounded upon the door.
Stevens's voice came through the
panels. 1t held quality of excite
ment that she had never noted in his
tones before. 1t was almost as though
he had been drinking heavily and was
fighting hard not to show the effect of
the liquor. Yet there had not been
time, since she left him, for him to
become intoxicated.
Lucy, I want to talk to you," he
said.
The maddest panic swep, over her,
obliterating sanity. The door was
fimsy, would give way, despite the
bolt, at the least onslaught. Tim
Stevens had dared plan an abduction
and carry it through. He might not
60 to further lengths, but how could
she tell? If she opened the door :.
i she failed to open the door and he
crashed through it -.
She would rather die than plead
with Tim Stevens. She had never
begged Of any one In ali her life; she
would not begin now. Yet she could
not fight; a screaming, scratching
woman lost all dignity, confessed her
weakness by her very defense.
Panic passed; although her act was
mad to the point of suicide, her actions
were cool, deliberate. This was Devil
May Care, who made her decisions on
instant impulse, but who carried them
through as calmly as though thsy had
been thought over for months.
She opened the port-hole-really .
window-of her cabin, and Owed
clearly into the Gulf Stream.
She was conscious Of no shock I'd

Have you noticed, of late, the vogue
for gay quilts and comfortables? For
wears, in the artifciality OF another
age, the decorative possibilities OF
these pieces have seemed half-forgot-
ten. Now suddenly-encouraged by
today's demand for design and CON
trasting color-they have come back
into fashion again.
And so important is the subject that
It has broken into print to tell its own
fascinating story through the pages
of thick new book-"Old Patchwork
Quilts and the Women Who Made
Them"-in which the author gives not
only complete history Of the quilt
but also describes $40 different pat
terms and illustrates many of them. =.
1t is a book to intrigue every girl
and woman who dreams of beautiful
home. And the story seems parucu..
larly apropos, since the gay, colorful
patchwork theme with its geometric
patterns is so thoroughly in harmony
with the modern trend in home-fur-
nishings.

OF course If you prefer you can
have them dyed-there are dyes
for that express purpose. Blondes

dark brown. Brunettes can trans
form theirs to iaky black. Ger

far as to dye blonde lashes pur-

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

] give IL to her IN the case2
WALTER.
IL feel very much honored in
being asked such important Ques-
tions, sir. Thank you for coming
to my column.
You can do as you wish about
this significant question OF the
ring. The cavaliers OF olden
times always had 4he ring In
some convenient pocket, as you
know. ready to place 1t on 'her"
finger IL the answer to "the"
question was favorable. But now
we are perhaps less romantic
although don't really think 30
but at least more practical.
It's pretty important, this ring,
to the girl, and she Is to wear 1t
always. So she should like II; Il
should be just the kind Of ring
that she has dreamed about.
Now this Is difficult, il she isn't
consulted. So l suggest that you
talk it over with her, ask her
somewhat about her preferences,
and so forth.
I realize. too, that there Is
always the question OF the young
mans budget. He can see to this
adaptation IL he will go to his
jeweler, tell him the girls pref.
erences. state what his budget Is
or approximately is, and see what
can be done to unite these two
factors happily.
The jeweler will choose several
rings, and win probabaly volun-
teer to take them to the girls
home-for her to choose from.
Or. best OF all, you can choose
several stones for her to take her
choice, and then the jeweler will
design for You. or have designed.
