"Oh, good evening, Sue. Mind if I eat some head lettuce and mush- rooms with your fancee?" Barbara's silken tones asked, and Sue had q desire to flame back at her, but something that had suddenly hurt somewhere in her took all her strength and left her little weak.
 Barbara was with Jack. Of course she knew that there was some pur- pose for 1t all. She didn't doubt Jack. Not for a second! But she re- alized that he didn't know the hu- initiation to which he was subject Ing her. And because of that humil- iation she was angry suddenly. She laughed lightly.
 Not at all! And you can order the most expensive dessert on the menu too. if you want to!'
 Another thought tumbled right over her first one then. Maybe Jack had just happened to meet Barbara. sOf course he had! But Barbara put that idea aside. her pansy purple eyes shining with deep amethyst dreams under Il tricorn hat of crushed violet silk.
 "When Jack asked me to go to dinner l was almost afraid that maybe you two had quarreled or something. Just as you would after all Jacks sacrificed to take your fathers case! But sometimes the more you do for girls the more they want" Again the laugh that was like the peal of silver bells that played mocking. Hitting melodies. It's natural to go back to your first love, isn't 1t? only l wasn't the first. I guess Jack has had lots of girls! Oh. I almost forgot. You have my sympathy. of course! Lots of people go to prison. And please don't blame Jack. Promise me, Sue! He cant help but lose when he hasn't any proof"
 Sue listened while 1t seemed to her little darts of fire were swarm ing through her whole body. Jack has had lost of girls!" So Barbara didn't want her to think that she was especially favored.
 Behind Barbara, Jacks gray eyes were pleading with Sue to under stand. Not to pay any attention. But she couldn't heed them. She had been l1umiliated. hurt. And she had to strike back. Even while she realized that Jack wasn't responsi- ble for Barbara's thrusts she knew that he had made this situation pos- sible.
 And because she did she had to hurt him.
 "Oh. we're quite convinced that we're losing the case! Sympathy isn't at all necessary. Our family Is rather helpless. But perhaps Jack would appreciate some in his de- feat!"
 Then she turned and almost ran from the room, the lights swim ming in q golden blur before her. "Oh, I think she's detestable. de- spicable. impossible!" "Corrinne brought out the words when the girls were on the street. "Don't blame Jack, Sue. He has her there

CLEVER COOKS USE SUGAR TO
 SEASON FOOD
Improves the Taste-appeal and Increases Nourishment
 of the Dish

There is no need to deny yourself flavor when you eat essential foods. According to leading putritional authorities and dietitians, the use of sugar to season vegetables, meat dishes and fruits is entirely proper.
 Sugar adds zest to essential foods which carry vitamins, mineral salts and roughage. It heightens the taste" of peas, beans, spinach and other vegetables. It improves the flavor of meat stews and makes them more palatable. In the case of fresh fruits, sugar modifies harsh acids.
 In vegetable and meat cookery, . dash of sugar to . pinch of salt ls . popular rule of clever cooks. The great value of seasoning and flavoring foods with sugar is that it makes them more enjoyable. Too often essential foods are rejected. especially by children, because they arc not pleasing to the taste. Most foods are more delicious with sugar. The Sugar Institute.

Crosby laughed. "Impudent little Gypsy, you're looking pretty this morning. Say--I've got q lot of things to talk to you about. Have you got anything to do right now? What do you say we brave the scle- mentsY Take me out and show me the town. 1 want to take a long walk the way we used to-"
 "Wherc'll we go?'
 Anywhere. Have they still got the Battery?"
 The girl nodded.

 And Riverside Drive?"

 Then let's walk up Fifth ave- nue."
 It was nonscnse but 10 Gypsy 1t sounded like the worlds most scintil1ant wit.
 '1'd love to-" she said instantly. "Wait--I'll be ready in minute!'
 She was wearing her hat and coat. Gypsy had already walked 1U blocks that morning. She ran up the flight to her own room.
 From the depths of tiny closet hung with clothes the girl drew q pair of brown lizard pumps. They weie ymartly made with short vareps and high Cuban heels. The pumps were obviously new. Gypsy kicked off her worn oxfords and pulled on the pumps. They were flattering to her small feet. She paused before the dressing table to dab powder on her nose. No need 10 waste time on rouge-her cheeks wee warm with color. A moment before the mirror. batting and polk ing at the waves of hair which showed beneath the brown beret Then she was ready.

 There was no one in sight but he door of Crosbys room was open. Through the opening Gypsy caught a glimpse of the young man strug- gling to get one arm into his over- coat. He heard her. turned and came into the hall.
 Cant find my gloves." he grumbled. Have to go without them. 1 guess"
 The girl laughed. 'If I've heard you say that once I've heard 1t q hundred times" she said. That's one thing you didn't learn in Paris, uIu yOu--nOW LO TeIueHDeF where you put things?"
 She searched the overcoat pock- cts. No gloves.
 "Oh, probably lost them." Cros- by complained. No use wasting time hunting any longer"
 Gypsy stood in the doorway. sur veying the room. Suddenly as though inspired. she darted inside. Here they are!" she said, kneeling beside the steamer trunk. From be- hind 1t she pulled two crumpled pieces of leather.
 Crosby accepted the gloves. "Thanks," he said. Must have knocked them down there last night
 His good humor was restored. They went down the stairway laughing. On the first floor Mrs O'Hare was disappearing through the door of her private quarters.
 Good morning!" Crosby called gaily. Want to come along? We're going out to view the metropolis" i"
 Mrs O'Hare tossed her head in- stead of answering. It was meant to indicate disapproval but was un- convincing. Where good-looking Mir Crosby was concerned the land- lady could never quite hold to rules that were arbitrary with other roomers.
 The young couple went through the front door and paused before descending the steps. It was nearly noon on one of those bright, rarely warm days that sometimes occur in late February.
 Crosby threw back his head. ''Why, it's spring!" he said. This isn't New York in February. It's spring!"

She was a coward-that was the truth. Her triumph was failure, after all.
 With a tremendous sigh she went and tidied her hair, changed her hat, put on a light wrap and went downstairs, asking the hall porter to call her cab. She was due at one of the smaller concert halls at 6 o'clock. Gregor Gossteivitsch was coming there to a room that they had hired. He was bringing a friend to play over to her certain he had composed for her.

 As she drove to the hall. her de- pression spread itself over the won derful Scottish ballet music of the young master, and she wished he had never written 1t for her. Through her closed lids she saw that gray-green scene of mountain and fir trees and crawling streams, with the pale sun Illuminating 1t. But for the ingratitude of it, she would have decided then and there not to give that dance. She felt all of sudden that 1t would be un- lucky. that 1t would bring evil in her destination. she dreaded the its train.

 HOhy Wreaths and Sand Tarts are Lois Specialties

Among Lois collection of choice Christmas cookie recipes was one for Christmas wreaths. The recipe itself is of Swedish origin. It has been made in every country, how ever. that appreciates afternoon coffee accompanied by small, rich cookies.
 Here is the recipe as Lois used 1t.
 She used the yolks of three hard cooked eggs which she put through a ricer. To these yolks she added the yolk of one uncooked egg. Then she creamed one half cup butter with one half cup sugar and added this mixture to her egg yolks. One half teaspoon powdered cardamom seed and one half tea spoon salt were added to two cups flour and combined with first mix

If you are making yourself big promises these days to begin regu- lar exercises in the New Year, stop. look and listen.
 First of ali, you should realize that it Is not how much time you spend on given day in exercising that counts, but how many days in succession that you do the same amount. The daily routine--it what counts!
 Second, look the situation over to discover just what you are ex- ercising for. It 1t to gain grace !? Is 1t for a sluggish liver? Is it to reduce? Or is 1t just to stay fit?
 Third, once you have learned what you are exercising for and have worked out your own set of exercises, stay doing them while they help you and don't listen to everybody else's set of exercises. You have to follow a routine some little time before it actually helps you.
 Limbering up is the basic idea for some of the best exercises in the world, both those for boise and those for reducing. Since each person has somewhat different problems, an excellent way to work out your own routine Is to go through different limbering exer- cises. pick the ones you like best, the ones best suited to your pur- poses, and then follow your own individual routine.
 Most limbering up exercises do their biggest work on the spine. This necessitates doing the exer- cises flat on the floor, or against the wall. The former Is easier and does more good.
 Before taking the floor, however, there is general limbering up routine that neglects nothing. Fin gers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, toes, ankles, knees, hips, and all that portion between the hips and shoulders that needs attention, are taken in turn.
 The beauty of this limbering type of exercises Is that 1t is also good pick-me-up after a hard days work. Instead of wearing you out, 1t relaxes you and makes you feel a million dollars.

 Her name came groaningly from his lips. It was an appeal. Even now he could not understand; but she made a little gesture of dis missal and he had to go.
 She followed him to the door and watched him go along the corridor. His great bulk hung forward; he shambled, bowed at the shoulders. She thought he looked like a noun tain about to tumble down. She was not quite sure that there was not scrap of pity for him in her heart.
 She went back to the couch and sat down, her hands hanging spirit less beside her.
 She had been false to what she had meant to do. She had meant to marry Gideon-for Chummy's sake. She had meant to prove to Alan Steyne once and for all that she was worthless and ready to sell herself for gold. That would have done the trick, she knew. Steyne would have loathed and despised her. and would have turned to Chummy.
 But she couldn't bring herself to do 1t when 1t came to the point.

"Nothing at all is the matter" Sue answered Harry Becker's question. f"What makes you think so?"
 You look worried. You're anx- ious 10 get home, aren't you? Sup pose I take you back. Corrinne can come along with some of her gang. She'll like it."
 For just the fraction of 8 second Sue hesitated. She remembered what Corrinne had said to Bob. Probably she had told others the same thing.
 That's lovely, Harry. I'd appre- ciate 1t ever so much. But are you sure you want to leave?"
 "Surer than tiat!" There was relief in his voice.
 Harry's voice was low when he spoke to Corrinne. He had drawn her aside. But in the silence which followed, his words carried very plainly. Later Sue wondered about that silence.
 Stay as long as you want to-" Harry was telling Corrinne. Sue and l are feeling out of things. So we're going to pick Jack up at the train and go home"
 Harry hadn't mentioned picking Jack up at the train. Now Sue was glad that he had. Suddenly she could hardly wait until Jacks tall form came swinging down the steps of the train. It seemed that hn had been gone such long time when 1t was really only few hours. It was rather dreadful to care so much for anyone. If any tring happened But nothing could happen! He would come home safely! Now and always! Sue fully expected Corrinne to offer to come along.
 But to her surprise Corrinne merely laughed. Run along. chill dren, it's all right with me. And you can talk about your past and everything"
 Harry stopped, startled.
 "Our-past?
 "The days when you and Sue were engaged" She laughed It. tie shrilly. For some reason she was curiously angry. Sue sensed. IL seemed strange that Corrinne had chosen the exact time for her an ger that she had selected for hers.
 Harry flushed. He didn't an swer for a second. Then he said: Don't you want to come along, Corrinne?"
 "Oh, no. of course not! You needn't bother with q chaperon. I'm not at all afraid to trust you with Sue or Sue with youW
 Sue knew that swift color food ed her face. Corrinne was being unkind. Cruel. The others were watching. uncertain just how they should look--interested, disinter-, ested, provoked or approving.
 Then June Walton spoke. You are speaking out of turn, aren't you, Corrinne? Of course they're safe together. Just because you wouldn't be-" '.,. .,.'
 June was championing her, Sue knew. But she was just as sure that 1t wasn't because June was so

Does the excitement of Christ mas make children sick?
 The answer is ''No." Not un- less they eatt he wrong things at the wrong time or run out without wraps and catch cold.
 By eating the wrong things at the wrong time, mean the gen. eral promiscuous stufiing that goes with most of our holidays. too many sweets between meals, and so on.
 But candy doesn't hurt chill dren. Doctors tell us that a cer- tain amount of pure candy is wholesome-besides what would Christmas be without 1t? The only thing to remember is that 1t should not interfere with meals and to see that the young fry don't consume too much of it at time.
 If the castor-oil bottle has to be taken down from the shelf the day after, the first thing worried mother Is likely to say is too much candy and excitement" should be more inclined to blame the three servings of plum pud- ding, or the mine-pie, unless, of course, the young lady or gentle man has devoured an extraordi- nary amount of bon-bons and the outrafied stomach finally had to call a halt. It does happen, of course, that certain children have an idiosyncrasy against candy even in small amounts. That IS different and the mother of such a child will have to guard against

interested in her. It was because she had an old score of her own to settle with Corrinne. After all, Corrinne still had Bob following her around. when June had tried unsuccessfully to get him for so many months.
 Then Corrinne threw her dark head higher. f
 What do you mean?"
 "You know what I mean" June said. Very. very well. Tonight, when you were supposed to take us along for the food. you went off while we were getting our coats. So we walked down the road and came back and made the others think we had been gone. But we hadn't heen out of sight! Then you. ."
