Tread: Because you have book" She looked at Prentiss and an- nounced: You're lucky boy. No girl will ever fool you.'
 Ut could be done," he said dubi- ously, 'but don't think it will be-"
 Beryl settled back in her seat. a strange smile upon her lips. Tommy wasn't quite a fool, either, she thought.
 life itself is something of a jokester," she said softly. | Prentiss. whose thoughts had been far afield, started. ''What?" he asked. Beryl did not answer. They had arrived at the cottage on the South Shore and some of Prentiss' friends had come out to greet them. Beryl was welcomed, literally with open arms. It was known she would sing for them. She had no more private conversation with Prentiss that night. When they left they had another girl with them, a girl who thing had happened to her escort. Beryl didn't know exactly what. She only knew that their hostess had asked Prentiss if he would mind dropping this other girl at her home. The girl was quiet on the drive and Beryl sensed that she was emotionally upset. Beryl was glad of her presence.
 Had Prentiss forgotten Irene Beryl wondered because when they had danced together at the party he had seemed just as he was before seeing her sister. She had rather dreaded the drive home with him. It might be that second thoughts on her conduct earlier in the evening would give him new set of ideas about her. He might attempt experimentation. All that had been in her mind when she dressed that evening was gone, gone for good. In its place was high, fine feeling of escape. Better to be again living only for Tommy. There, in the world that she had created for just the two of them, dream world though it were. she was safe. Go- ing back to it she felt that she had new faith in herself. She didn't like having her mind cluttered up with changing emotions. It was painful to be hopelessly in love, but it was familiar pain a dear pain, if there can be such a thing. She was glad not to have to talk about herself with Prentiss and glad to have third person present. She wondered what would happen when the other girl left them. Would Prentiss follow up whatever had come into his mind at the party and try to make love to her? No, it seemed that he had been merely caught in the feeling of the moment-which was one of adula- tion and flattery toward her. He was a natural had.was
 had liked being the one who brought her - celebrity - to the party.
 This he told her on the way home. Beryl felt touch of scorn toward the young man. Still his was a natural attitude and he had been honest as we'll as extremely decent not to take advantage of heI own letdown.
 When they reached her home and Prentiss said he was thirsty she felt that 1t was not ruse to stay with her longer, so she let him come in.
 There asleep on the sofa was Irene.

 "Nothing's worth doing if you don't take the risk. Don't be so stupid, Jack"
 "Sybill. you're beside yourself: No wonder. Oh Sybil, Sybil ;" Mrs Lester was lost in paroxysm of tempestuous grief. Her husband tried to comfort her, but Sybil stared at her father interestedly, rather bored.
 Then she spoke again.

GSSM1n,G;,;}Es = ,~<~'K''MARHz:: {: KITCHEN

No matter how warm the weather may be there Is always the problem of three meals a day, and these meals must be just as complete and well balanced as on the coldest win ter day. But if your cupboard is adequately stocked with ready-to- serve in cans and packages, you can face the hottest day with equanimity, knowing that very little time need be spent preparing meals.
 Food manufacturers are giving us an infinite variety of ready-cooked foods that are as wholesome and |appetizing as those prepared in the home kitchen. When necessity arises there is no reason why we should hesitate to make use of all the help offered and enjoy vacation from cooking.
 When you are making out your list of supplies for the hot months, the food habits of the family must be carefully considered. At the same time plan a number of menus for various occasions, using the fresh fruit and vegetables so abundant during the summer months and supplementing them with easily prepared ready-cooked dishes. Never forget your object-attractive meals. requiring the minimum of time and effort.
 No Waste in Cans
 The wide range of canned meats simplifies the meat question in many instances. Naturally these products are more expensive than the raw material, for you must pay for the labor you are saving yourself. But there is no waste in bone in most of the meats, and if you choose the size that your family will eat at one meal there is no waste from spoilage. Any thing you want is available from the plebian frankfurter and corned beef to squab and chicken.
 Canned fish offers many possi- bilities in planning summer menus.

Upstairs she discovered a shoe box. It was the inexpensive type which has four drawers, each one the size of an ordinary shoe box. These are arranged above one another in a wooden framework.
 Why couldn't she get cheap one of these-one covered with wash able prepared fabric. The top drawer would have the usual stocking conn., partment arrangement. In that would go her thread, needles and small oddments. The other drawers would hold her patches. Voila! There she was! And since she was an inveter- ate piece of patchwork quilt maker she planned to put scraps that would later appear as patches in the quilt in another drawer. She was proud of her own ingenuity, as well she might be.

 for Dressed Up Screens
sy Florence Ee oanlse.

In that improvised or newly cre- ated recreation room that was an old basement "that had been given q chance" Martha wanted to use furni- ture that was already on hand. She and Leonard had decided on the chairs that could be taken down. But the problem of a sewing kit and a screen bothered her.
 She planned to screen off the laundray part of the basement when the family used the room for play and fun. But new screens are ex- pensive. In hunting around in the attic she found an old burlar pam nelled screen that she had discarded because the panels were so faded and the frame so scratched.
 By painting the frame the same color as the woodwork and the pam els the lighter color of the walls she found the screen became a decora- ton as we'll as serviceable piece of furniture.

It actually is surprising how at- tractive many teeth look when you realize what shabby treatment they get from their respective tooth brushes.
 If you could start the habit of doing daily dozen on your teeth going over the upper and lower jaws with your brush and into all the crevices three or four times, morn ing, noon and night, it would be a grand little help to those teeth of yours.
 Lots of teeth need just that ex- tra meticulousness to push them over into the glamorous class. Nothing Is quite so pretty sight as sparkling white teeth and good, healthy pink gums. Many persons could enjoy them who don't, just because they are too thoughtless to care for them day in and day out.
 Salt Is Beneficial
 You need more than just a tooth- brush for the best tooth care. You need two brushes at home and one at the office. You need in addition, the following items: A good tooth paste or powder; dental hoss; a mouth wash and some kitchen salt.
 The kitchen salt is for weekly mouth douche, of the hottest water you can stand, with tablespoonful of salt to a glass of water.
 Salt, as matter of fact. can be used very effectively instead of tooth paste. A woman who suffered throat infection used hot salt douches every hour for almost a month. one sum- mer, and to her surprise when her throat healed up. her gums were firmer and pinker than they had been in years. She continued the mouth douche, once a day. and has kept her healthy gums.
 The mouth wash can be just pleasant rinse to get out all the par ticles that the dental floss or tooth hrush has not diSlOdged. Or 1t may

Fighting impulses had bene a lifelong habit with her. She wondered why she had given in to these two-first to act as she had and then to confess her error. Couldn't one be a fool about honesty?
 Prentiss spoke, as though he had read her mind.
 "The queer part of this is that you did it," he said. Why did you?"
 The honesty in her nature which Beryl had just been questioning, was still in control. It dictated her , answer.
 "Because often want to do things that I won't let myself,' she said.

who they believe can throw light
on Ames' associates. The two
men were friends and were seen
together several times earlier in
the week. ...,- .s.,.e.-,-..,
Half q dozen bottles Of whisky,
100 packets of soporific pow

traces of sediment were removed
from Ames' apartment at the

discovery of his body. The
glass, they said, would be ex
amined for fingerprints, and its
contents analyzed. An overdose
of a sleeping potion may have
been fatal.
In a few days he was scheduled
to meet a Broadway producer
who intended to star him and
Ina Claire in a play with but
two characters.
When Ames' body, clad only in
a green dressing gown, was dlS-
covered lifeless on the floor OF
his luxurious hotel suite, there
was found also a telegram from
Miss Claire. It read:
