pr. Raynor, sensing at once that he had made a mistake, made 8 swift apology. "Of course I know that you can dance, only ."
 "I understand. I won't be fiat tire on your hands. Maybe I'm not fast enough to be a one-min- ute girl or whatever the girls are called who change partners every five feet, but if fail l can always go to the dressing room with ripped hem or q headache"
 Ruth Bradley was playing her cards openly. He knew-everyone knew-that she never was in de- mand. She had formed the habit of shrinking away. Not tonight, though. She knew that she had a grace and charm. an exotic some thing that even Sally didn't possess. She would tell Joe Raynor that she was a risk-and then-oh, what if she did go dead on his hands?
 Please. God, don't let me. Just for one night make me shine. Please please" she prayed as the young doctors car went down the moon-bright road. Far ahead she saw the lights of the clubhouse.
 She knew that the girls in the dressing room stared. They didn't know her very well. One or two had been nice to her. Most of them had been afraid to be, even as children, because Sally was pop ular and Sally was jealous of fa- vor shown another. Now they were confused at her dazzling gown and riotous hair and bright-red lips. Most of the people were already dancing. Ruth was glad that she had left herself swing into dance steps, just for the fun of it, all by herself sometimes, when she was home alone. She knew the pieces the orchestra played. They had echoed through the living room often. She knew how to dance to them.
 Just the same she was rather frightened as she stepped into the dancing throng. The music was gay and illusive. In a second she for got herself. She was drifting away somewhere with Joe Raynor the old magic was back She glanced up to see if he felt 1t, too.
 But his eyes were on the floor Following them. Ruth found a pair of crystal-studded slippers with rhinestone heels. that caught the lights of the room. They shone among the purple and blue and silver shoes. Ruth knew that they belonged to Sally.
 A silken white sheen, daringly low in the back, was caught with a cluster of violet orchids that had glamor that sparkled like dia- monds or dew-drops.
 Ruth knew now that Joe was waiting for someone to cut in, so he could cut in on Sally. He was leading her skillfully, carefully in her sisters direction.
 Then, almost before the thought had centered in her mind, she heard 8 friendly voice say "Sor- ry," and she was caught in another pair of arms. She looked into Jack Thornton's smiling eyes. And just beyond she saw Sues eyes, warm and interested, watching her.
 "She asked her husband to cut in on me-" Ruth told herself in sudden humiliation.

How do you dress for the chiI-
 Lest you think 1t an idle aues- ton I hasten to defend 1t by a chapter in an old book of mine on the theory of teaching. It advised young teachers not only to be neat in appearance but ''to dress in aL- tractive colors and avoid sombre- ness" As that book is some years old perhaps 1t is out-moded now. At any rate school teachers to-day seldom go in for the dismal garb they used to effect and such chapter would probably besuper- fiuous.
 But that book of Pages was a good, sensible book and there is no reason for refuting the sugges- tion about dress. Without any doubt children are affected enor- mously by the things their moth CTS and teachers wear.
 In our town the women have penchant for black. There is a reason, of .course-dirt. But in every town and city as winter ap- breaches, the American woman has taken it into her head that black is smart, black, and black only. Each year we see more and more of it. "The French wear it." is our defense.
 Yes-la, la and oui, oui---the
 French women do wear it prodigi- ously-on the street. But no one has an eye peeled for color as has the French woman. In the house she exhibits her taste for shades quite as expertly as she wears her sable raiment outdoors. Do not think that she is sold on black to the exclusion of everything else bright and beautiful in the world. 1 don't care whether your house dress costs ten cents or ten dollars a yard, but do try to make 1t
 bright and pretty and attractive | for the little folk. They love so to see their mothers dressed up. And if you can finish the ironing in time, or get home from the club meeting in time l think 1t would
 be nice to be all washed and'dressed I by four o'clock, or undressed, de- pending on whether you have been
 in the laundry or at the club. If you have dinner to cook.
 there are the big cottage aprons for the hour over the stove. But red dress, or a becomilng bright | blue, or a green. or an orange, de- pending on yourself, is sort Of
 moral uplift for the whole fam
 lily.

2 Gideon greeted Judy with his usual deference, playfully remark ing that Guarvenius must be a slave driver, and that she ought to escape from him now and then.
 T am escaping from him. Mir Punch," Judy replied. I'm going to Paris soon."
 This was news to him. He seemed pleased and hoped he might be there at the same time to show her the sights. He often ran over to Paris, he said.
 Stornaway said he would paint no more that day, and they had tea.
 Judy poured it, sitting on the couch with her feet on the white polar bear and remembering how she had sat on it and overheard the two men discussing her. She was sparkling with high spirits, as gay as a lark, and making the men rock with her cheap witticisms and quaint expressions.
 Gideon left the house with her. She allowed him to walk with her to the corner, where she waited for the bus.
 "When shall I see you again, Miss Judy?" he asked. "What about tomorrow? I'm busy all day, but will you dine with me?"
 With pleasure, MT Punch," she said.
 There was something pensive and almost shy in her smile, but she was full of inward laughter. She saw the look in his eyes-the old covetous look. His lips were moist as he smiled. He supposed that she had felt neglected because he had not sought her out, and that she would now be easier to man. age. He thought he had scored the first point in the game.
 But Judy knew otherwise.
 It was the last week in July. New Fork was sweltering in a pecu- lfariy trying moist heat. The sky seepned to be almost over ones hesd and to consist of several lay ers of blankets steeped in boiling wAtor. The air was a grayish vel low, and felt exactly like the hot room of Turkish bath.
 Bruce Gideon was in town, and was entertaining his sister at luncheon. She had just shut up her house, and was leaving, on the fol- lowing day, with her husband and two sons, for a European trip. The boys were IA and 12 years old. Their uncle was devoted to them, and it was understood that they would be his heirs if he died un- married.
 Madame de Toros looked quite cool, She was one of those people who, though full of energy, never hurry.
 They had finished luncheon, and Madame de Toros was drinking her coffee and smoking thin Russian cigaret. She had been questioning her brother about his plans. and had learned that he was going to Vichy for his annual cure, but not until the middle of August.
 Though he showed his Spanish descent less than his sister, Gideon had certain foreign traits in his na- ture. One of these was the fact that he preferred to keep himself in health by drinking waters and diet ing, rather than by indulging In any strenuous form of sport. For all that, he was an excellent shot and a first-rate swordsman, in spite of his bulk.
 "You will be late for your cure, my dear Bruce," his sister said, but you're not looking as if you need 1t much"
 I'm perfectly fit," he answered

Ever so many delicious and in- expensive desserts can be made from canned fruits. These des- serts add interest to winter meals by furnishing the flavor and nutrition of summer fruits at a time when the diet is apt to be rather heavy and monotonous.
 Every one naturally likes fruit and fruit dishes. This makes the serving of these foods an ideal way to add vitamins and minerals to the diet. ..,,.
 The juice Of. canned fruits can be used in various. ways. Com bined with lemon juice, 1t makes a good orange. juice substitute for breakfast. Light colored juices are excellent in salad dressing. Any fruit juice thickened with cornstarch and made piquant by a little lemon juice makes a pleasing sauce for steamed pud-- dings. Stiffened with gelatine and molded attractively, the fruit and juice make an inviting dessert cream. The small fruits partic- ularly are suitable to serve this way. t

 Any variety of berries or small fruit can be used in this recipe. Drain fruit from juice. Soften gelatine in cold water for five min utes. Heat juice to boiling point and stir in sOftened gelatine. Stir until dissolved and yet stand un- til cool and beginning to jelly. Fold in fruit and turn into

Good Thing To Remember

From the recent opinion written by Chief Justice Hughes of the United States Supreme Court on constitutional freedom of the press: The administration of government has become more complex, the opportunities for malfeasanee and corruption have multiplied. crime has grown to most serious proportions. and the danger of its protection by unfaithful officials and of the impairment of the funda- mental security of life and property by crim- inal alliances and official neglect emphasize the primary need of vigilant and courageous press, especially in great cities"
 From which it is clear that the press in this country has not only legal right but public duty to print news fearlessly and speak its mind freely. The Chief Justice does not go so far as Thomas Jefferson. who declared that if he had to choose between government and press, he would choose the press as the more effective of the two. Justice Hughes. how ever. recognizes frankly that the American press today is more essential than ever before as watch dog of public service. an enemy of crime and bulwark of liberty.

Citizens of Tarytown. N. Y.. are trying out simple scheme which some of them be- lieve will enable the town to wipe lot of old accounts off the books by the end of June. The Chamber of Commerce instituted the system. which merely consists of passing along certain checks as fast as they are received. The Chamber sells the checks for $5 each to service clubs and chamber members. As soon as check is received the recipient must use it within "A hours to pay debt or to buy merchandise. The checks are to be kept mov- ing until June 3l. Not until then can they be deposited in the banks. Promoters of the plan believe it will take care of $60,000 worth of old debts in that time.
 Four hundred checks were in circulation the first day. Business houses used them to pay employees. Each check is supposed to change hands 30 times. doing $50 worth of busi- ness. This looks like neat and clever plan. The same results could be accomplished. of course. without the Chamber of Commerce checks. if every citizen with five dollars would guarantee to pay it out promptly on debt or on merchandise. Or if the townsfolk worked out scheme for local debt cancellations among themselves, similar end would be achieved. The Tarrytown plan. however. is better psy- chology. The special checks are recognizable. by making kind of game of the whole pro- eedure. there is more hope of effective cooper ation and. probably. success.

aid the unemployed of the state in more ways than one it might find funds for some such work as this described above. A force of 50 or 100 men working in our state forest under the expert supervision of the state forestry de- partment employees could certainly do lot of work. such as marking trails, clearing out log ging paths. etc. Last winter the forests were thrown open. to those who wanted to cut frewood. Advantage was taken of this offer by many towns who now have the wood stored for next winters cold blasts. If sev- eral hundred men could be employed in this work and money found to pay them two birds would be killed with the one stone. It's mere ly an idea offered for what it's worth.

BIGGEST AIR RAID

On June 13, 1917. the worst Ger man air raid over England was car- ried out in the broad daylight of noon. when a squadron of German airplanes bombed the East End and the business sections of London. kill. ing 97 persons and injurying 437.
 Many of the victims were women and children, 120 of the latter being either killed or injured. The large number of casualties was due to the fact that the eating places in the East End were crowded at the hour of the raid, schools were still In ses- sion and large numbers of pereonn were on the streets. No damage Of a military or naval nature was done. Only one of the attacking planes was brought down.

Aid the Unemployed

With pledges coming in slowly the Mayors Relief Committee has announced that its weekly income is about $o.000 at present with good indications of 1t exceeding that. Waterbury should be proud of the manner in which it acquitted itself last winter when so many families were without any means of sustenance. The reputation this city secured not only in Connecticut but throughout the nation for relief work among the unemployed is an enviable one. Now that it is found neees- sary to continue the work we feel sure that the fortunate wage earners will respond as generously as they did before.
 However. it occurs to us that at this time of the year there are more ways of aiding the unemployed relief campaign. There are more jobs to be distributed with warm weather in order. Work on our municipal golf course can proceed rapidly this summer with plenty of funds available to carry on the work. And we hope the impression won't be spread around the city that the city is using funds obtained by weekly contribution to finance the golf course work. That is quite un- necessary with the city able to float $50.000 bond issue upon authorization of the legisla- ture.
 We noticed in press dispatches this week that through volunteer aid many miles of trails have been opened through our state forests and parks this year. That work was started year or SO ago and was received so favorably by hiking clubs that many of them contributed their services whenever they had any spare time 10 devote to this task. As result there is fairly well organized system of trails threading our state forest and parks. When ultimately finished every state park and forest will be connected and there will be a feeder trail linking Connecticut with the Appalachian Trail which runs from Canada to Ceossia.
 It occurs to us that if the state wanted to
