if nothing came of Prentiss' inter- est had one a right to interfere in another's life?
 "Right or no right I'd stoy this match if I couldY Beryl thought. It was all right to be high-minded, altruistic, and just, but Tommy was the man she loved. If only she knew how to save him!
 What mother-in-law I'd make!" she jeered at herself. T don't suppose I'd ever find girl good enough for son of mine. Who do think I am anyway"
 At that point she decided to talk and stop thinking. What dizzy, perplexing cycle life was. You whirled round and round and got nowhere.
 When she wanted to talk Tommy decided to leave. Beryl saw she'd made mistake. It had been so much more than she had as a rule -his sitting there alone with her. Why had she disturbed it? Next time she would know better. She watched him go down the walk to the gate and her heart sagged with the sag in his shoul- ders. Tommy was troubled. How much did he know? Did he know that Irene was shampooing her hair to make a golden snare of it to catch another mans heart?
 She closed her eyes suddenly against the sunlight and swallowed hard at the lump in her throat. But she would not start thinking again -she would not! There was so much to fear, so much to guess at.
 So much to fear! Her emotion had frightened her throat. It pained her and all at once she felt very tired. No matetr what came of it she would have to go to bed and leave the field to Irene when Prem tiss arrived.
 As Beryl climbed the stairs a little uncertainty, she heard Irene humming in the bathroom. There was an exultant, even triumphant, note in the girls voice. She was singing unconsciously and Beryl thought that if only her sister were content to sing without striving for operatic effects she might suc- ceed professionally.
 Professionally! She herself would sing professionally the next night. The pain in her throat
 BeryI trembled as she got Into bed. A little throat trouble .. but what if she were going to be seriously i'll?
 As she lay there trying not to think of failing in her effort Irene too was crossing bridges unbuilt. She was wondering how she could induce Tommy to postpone their marriage just a little longer than the date she had set without arous- ing his suspicious.
 There was something on her mind, something she turned over and over in her thoughts as miser turns his gold. It was something with glittering possibilities but she was not sure of it. She would need time for that. Meanwhile -.

You should have been with us to- night" Sarah told Theodore Merry man. "It was an interesting show. Much shooting. Fireworks every min ute. In my quest for excitement found what I wanted. And I staged the scene fo it all. enticed the villain to the fatal scene of the shooting"
 You have queer notions of ex- citement," Ted answered in an aloof tone. This ghastly shooting busi- ness. :. Most girls would faint or something over it."
 Would they?' Sarah slipped a little lower in her chair. Funny that none of us did. Corrinne or Sue or Mabel or I! We didn't even feel like it."
 She shuddered although she tried not to. Ted caught the swift, nerv- ous clutching of her shoulders.
 You aren't enjoying the after effects half as much as you want people to think you are" he told her. "You were probably frightened to death. You are now. Why are you trying to be so flamboyant about it?'' "Ever hear the old motto, sLaugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone? That's the reason, Ted. love company" After she had finished the coffee she went to the telephone and dialed number. Sue heard her ask for Phil Banning. She remembered that she had not told her that Phil was married She wondered if she knew. She sensed that Sarah did. And Sarah. meantime, was watching Ted She saw an angry color in his race as she asked for Phil. The operator at the switchboard of the club ex- plained that MT Banning had moved to one of the hotels. That evidently strengthened Ted's evidence, Sarah decided. Phil had moved because his wife had come to town.
 She knew that Ted was perfect ly aware of the information that she had received. Therefore, she looked up the number of the hotel and dialed 1t. Secretly she hoped that Phil would not be in. She didn't want to talk with him. She was disgusted with men, through with them. For ever and ever and ever!
 She asked for Phil Earnings room and waited.
 But it was a woman's low, throaty contralto that came singing over the wire.
 May I speak to MT Banning, please?" Sarah asked.
 sI'm sorry, but MT Banning isn't here just at present. This IS Mrs Banning, though. Is there any mes sage that I can give him? I'm ex- pecting him very soon.'
 Sarah ordinarily would have hung up with hastily murmured eXplan- ation that she would call later But she didn't care what she said. .,,
 When he comes in. please, VIII you have him call certain num- Der" she asked, and very carefully gave the number of the Merryman residence. "He will be along sooh' won't he?" .,, .oa voice answered. It was such sopnis- ticated voice. so thoroughly mature without having lost it's youth mat sarah felt as though her own ratner ,iltinp voice was of schoolgirl tim- bcr. . ,.o. on
 The hands of the clock kept on going around in circles, though. ana Phil Banning didn't call back. Saran was glad that he didn't. But she ielt rather foolish and ridiculous Tn front of rcd. who had witnessed the scene Finnlly she arose. "Will yon cal taxi for me. please? I'm going home" ., ..a,, Phil Banning.

Peter Page Junior had just been put to bed, tucked in, kissed good night and left alone. Nancy walk ed wearily down stairs and sank into big chair with sigh of re- lief. But she did not rest there long. Soon she heard her young son-"M Mommy, mommy, want q drink" No, not now, Peter I gave you one before you went to bed. Keep still and go to sleep" Silence for a few minutes, "Mom- my, want to tell you something" No, Peter, mother said you were to go to sleep" Mother, when's daddy coming home. want to see him." Bye and bye. Now keep still and go to sleep. Mother, I want a drink Silence on Nancy's part. At the continued silence his voice slowly rose to a shriek and cry. To quiet him Nancy went up and gave him drink, kissed him again and went downstairs. The next night he was just as insistent and finally ended the evening with mysteries which stopped just as soon as she reached his bed

Irene. He was quite the reverse in fact. The more you studied Tommy the better you liked him. But if you scratched the surface of Irene's character Charitably Beryl turned her thoughts from that track. But what about Tommy if he married Irene and discovered that he had made a mistake?
 Tommy seemed to think himself alone. He sat with his head in his hands and said nothing.
 'I'm just an old shoe to him." Beryl thought bitterly Forgetting how dear are old shoes to weary feet). But, oh Tommy, Tommy how I could love you if you'd let mel"
 The rush of desire, the thought, was so intense that for few sec onds Beryl was startled. She all most expected Tommy to look up as l though she had spoken her thoughts aloud and he had heard. | How could she prevent Tommy from marrying Irene? Would she need to? There was Prentiss. But

Crisp, cool salads add .mnieasur- ably to the interest of summer meals and prove beyond question the the ory that the eye does half the eat | ing"
 Colorful fruit and vegetable salads provide an effective and inviting means of adding minerals and vita nlins to the diet. Hearty salads made of meat, fish or eggs supply pro- tein calories and make an ideal main dish for summer luncheons Fruit salads may answer for dessert as well as salad and are particularly allurinS for summer meals.
 Of course, there are certain sharp distinctions made in the type of salad chosen for definite purposes. The dinner salad served between the meat courses and dessert must be light and well seasoned. It's mission is to prepare the way for the dessert and | it must provide contrast by texture l flavor and color.
 In certain meals the salad is of equal importance with another dish on the menu. A Sunday night sup per or informal luncheon salad usual | ly shares honors with some other viand. When this is the case the pur- pose of the salad is to complement and enhance the other dish.
 The double-duty fruit salad can l be served in a number of ways. The fruits can be nodded in a jelly. frog in their natural state cut in neat dice. The dressing is of utmost inn portance. While it should not be ver-poweringly tart it must be pleas antly piquant. Whipped cream may 1 be added to any fruit salad if de- sired and needed for additional cal ories but it should never be used as the one and only dressing Use it as garnish or add it to the mayon- naise or dressing if you will, but don't put q spoonful of whipped cream over a mixture of diced fruits and consider the result a fruit salad
 There are general directions for making fruit and vegetable salads that are an aid in achieving dainty and delectable effects. Don't combine too many ingredients Be sure the materials are cut in dice or marbles of uniform size. Guard against crushed materials and mushy tex i ture. Let all salad materials, meats and fish included. stand in a marin ade of some well seasoned dressing on ice for at least 30 minutes be- fore serving. Then drain and arrange I on beds of crisp dry salad plants. The rules governing the salad plants are iron-clad and must be observed if perfect results are ob- tained. Salad plants, whether they are the basis of the salad or merely a garnish, must be cold. crisp, dry and perfectly clean. After careful washing use a lettuce basket to swing the leaves dry or put them in a clean towel and gently pat them dry with another surplus moisture from the leaves and insures against a watery, diluted dressing.
 | The best method Of keeping salad greens fresh and crisp after cleaning is to put them into a closely covered container and place them in the ice box. They will remain in perfect con- dition for several days. If the greens are to be used within few hours they can be kept in a damp muslin bak until needed.

The next night Peter was home and heard the performances. Now see here. Nancy, this is all foolish ness. That child can go to sleep without all this fuss. You are not going upstairs again to him."
 Peter himself went up when the storm was at it's height and talked, reasoned, scolded and spanked his son. Young Peter sobbed himself to sleep. The next night the per- formance began again. Peter spoke sharply to his son, told him that no one was coming up and that he could cry all night if he wanted to do so. There was a finality about his fathers voice that convinced the youngster. Nancy had been too easy. He knew he could win her over. But like any child, he under stood when a grown-up meant what was said, and he accepted it. He went to sleep.

BILL JONES NEEDS MORE INCOME

Winter is approaching and the children's school expense will be higher this year than last. Bill looks forward to less income in the regular way. Many industries have shifted to the "zigzag" plan for their employees in an effort to help everyone thru the winter This means that each employee will have about half as much ln- come. Prices of clothing and food have come down some, but not III keeping with the "zigzag" income There will be just as much coal to buy and rent to pay. Bill must have more money than he can expect from his usual sources.
 He has some money in the sav- ings bank drawing per cent in terest. While it is true that money was put there for a rainy day it isn't bringing him any income worth mentioning; and $20 or $40 or even $10O of that wouldn't go very far on a rainy day" He needs more money coming in.
 Bill Jones is the average Amer ican. He knows that many man in exactly his financial condition has invested part of his money and has made enough return to give him the added income he needed But Bill knows there IS some speculation with every in vestment, no matter what it is or how good it sounds.
 He doesn't know whether he should take any chances on either his savings account or his present income. Of course his savings ac- count is not absolutely safe; he realizes more money has been lost by depositors thru bank failures during the last 10 years than thru any single line of investment other than the stock market crash in 1929. Being 9 true American and realizing that nothing risked, gained" he likes to take a chance. Bill is a cautious fel- low and wants to speculate, but he doesn't want to lose his money.
 So he losses aside all the wild eyed promises and impractical that flood the mails and seeks out a chance to specu- late with the safety of a flowing oil we'll to fall back on if the well he bets on turns out to be dry. Ii the new well comes in big, Bill should make profit of 10 times his investment. Ii he doesn't he still has his money where it should pay hira dividends, over a period of years, twenty times larger than the savings bank interest. And he has the speculative chance of making 3 real fortune II the new well comes in good He wants to speculate with his fingers crossed, as it were, and that~ is exactly what he does when he accepts our spe- cial Pool offer, and shares in one gusher while we drill for another.
