 It was not all right. Even Ginger, for all her dogged determination, realized that she could not abandon her own smart roadster and her newly arrived guests for the sake of a hazardous trip in Bard's un- certain equipage.
 Let him take Miss Cotton." said Eddy cheerfully. Shell get a great kick out of it. And we'll follow close behind to pick them up if they fly apart on the way out"
 What could even Ginger Ella do? She was obliged to stand help lessly by while Eddy carefully as- sisted Cotton into the Rattietrap beside Bard. tucked Patty cozily into the rumble seat with Speed, and then clambered in at her side.

 ''Why. sent her why, get in here-Well, broke your silly old car down!"

 But why should it break an axle to-day?" she walled. "Why to-day?"
 Well, why not?' he demanded.
 And not even Ginger could think of an answer.
 The Rattletrap did not fly to pieces. It bumped merrily along the road and up the wood lane to Mill Rush, Ginger doggedly trailing 1t and in complete silence although Eddy had never been more com municative nor more attentive.
 When she pulled in among the other cars to park beside the gate, almost before she had killed the engine he was at her door, hand extended to assist her.

 The door on the right side could only be opened by prolonged and violent swaying of the body of the car, which Bard did with great en- ergy until suddenly it sprang apart with tinny rattle.
 Ginger had plenty of time to see that Cotton was smoking. Bard took the stub from her hand and extin- guished it upon the fender.
 "You-you'll burn the paint" pro- tested Ginger faintly.
 "You flatter it," he said.

 When they were ready, Corrinne smiled shamly.

 It seemed to her that a whole eternity slipped into gray nothing ness as dark swept down the road and gold lights sparkled like shin- ing balloons through the tree, while they waited for the cab. When it finally came she stood up wearily and gave a last glance around the room.

 But 1t wasn't Harry that was driv- in gin. It was Jacks long roadster and Sue was sitting close to him, frightened eyes black in her white face. She jumped out and came rum ming.

 "But thought that you had gone out of town on business" Corrinne managed to say iii calmer voice.
 "I did" The memory of that aft ernoon and her pocketbook that had disappeared and reappeared came floating back to Sue. But when I got home tonight someone had called to say that you fainted in the bank ... so we hurried out here."
 Where are you going now, Cor rinne?" Jack asked. and at the strength and sympathy in his voice Corrinne felt her eyes filling with tears again. Tears that she winked back quickly.
 "I'm due at Sarah Slade's," she answered. 'I'm all right. =. I'd like to go back"

Once upon q time I lived tm doors from a family in which tn mother and father had not spokef to each other for several years.

DE<AGA1s 4AEAAE 4OsDAI
 GINGER ELLA TOLLdvER, daughter of the wealthy and in- dulgent former PHIL VAN DOORN, organized Junior Coun- try club in the town of Rcd Thrush, Iowa, just to keep life among the younger set from becoming too dull. Accordingly, she purchased an old farm house and rcm0delcd 1t.
 BARD HOLLOWAY, young artist who was h0bOing around the country, stopped in Red Thursh. Attracted by Ginger, he agreed to stay and paint portraits and decorate the new club house He gave the name "Joie de Vivre" to the club and he suggested scnd- ing to Chicago for NICOLO CALL LENO, who could cook and sing and strum a guitar.
 But NicolO could not come. In his place there arrived three of his countrymen. ANGELO was Q musician; PIETRO could cook, and BENITO could sing. Ginger took them on.
 Bard began to realize he was in love with Ginger. He suggested leaving. But Phil, knowing Gin- ger, persuaded him to remain longer as the TOllivcrs' guest. But for Gingers' good she wrote to SPEED RODNEY, a former friend of Ginger's, and invited him to visit them. She felt he would give Bard some competition. Ginger thereupOn invited PATTY SEARS to take care of Speed. But Patty wouldn't come, pleading loyalty to EDDY JACKSON. WhereupOn Gin- ger went to Eddy about it. Getting word that Speed was bringing his sister, she persuaded both Eddy and Patty to come.
 And Eddy decided to ball things up by making life miserable for Ginger. Meanwhile BenitO had made Q trip to Chicago and re- turned with a plan to kidnap Gin- ger. Knowing her stcpmOthcr has a lot of money, he plans to hold her for heavy ransom.
 Speed and his sister arrive. Her name is COTTON, and she is not pected to see. Ginger was a little fearful that Cotton would prove very attractive to Bard.

 CHAPTER xxvI.
 "You can be just as sick as you lilke," Phil said frankly, "as long as you don't act anemic. You can faint, or have convulsions, or break a couple of legs, if you want to-I'm so glad you're not anemic in your disposition"
 Cotton flushed ever so slightly. |. "Tm not really sick bit," she con- fessed. T am afraid Speed deceived you. But I have been working very hard, and when he stopped off in New York to see me he thought I was looking bit under the clouds. And he took it into his head I needed a change"
 "Do you live in New York % asked Ginger.
 "Yes. I have studio down in Greenwich Village"
 "A studio! Are you studying something?"
 "No, I'm working. I write dia- lague for the talkies.'
 ooh, how interesting!" Ginger's h9art was too low even to register a beat.
 "That's nice," said Mir Tolliver. You will enjoy our young friend, Bard. Won't she, Ginger? We have

Cooking Methods Are Many

 | The variety of fish chosen usually determines the method of cooking. | With the exception of large fish that are wanted served whole for some | special reason, broiling seems to be | the ideal way of cooking all fish. But for variety, there are other practical ways of cooking particular kinds of | fish.
 Baking is a commendable method, | for it, too, retains the best qualities | of the flavor and the value of the fish itself, prevents fish-cooking | odors from invading the house, and requires less watching than broiling. In buying fish, estimate that one | requires less watching than broiling. pound of solid flesh, free from bones, will serve three persons.
 Children should be urged to cul- tivate taste for fish if they do not naturally like 1t. It's an easily | digested food, rich in phosphorous as well as its other nutriments and very satisfying. Broiled, baked, or steam ed fish. served with lemon juice, should find a place in child's diet at least twice week during the spring months when meals are grad ] ually becoming lighter" and lower in heat-producing foods.
 l The sauce served with fish has much to do with popularity. A fish sauce should make contrast in | color and texture and add piquancy and tone to the natural fish flavor | without destroying it.
