long walk. She hung away her coat and hat, went to the kitchen to tell Matilda she was back, and res turned to the living room. There was Jim.
 why. Jim!" she exclaimed, "how did you get here so early? It can't be o'clock!"
 "Oh, I decided to cut loose. Came home to get you to go down and call on Marcia Phillips
 Surprise was followed by con- sternation. "But I couldn't do that! I don't know her"
 Well. she's been here three days. It doesn't seem right to stay away sympathy. Wen go together"
 "Where is she?"
 "Still at Aunt Ellen's. Right here in the same block with us."
 Gypsy came forward. The three little lines that appeared in her forehead whenever she was over anxious were there now. Please, Jim," she said appealingly, I'd rather not go. well. I just cant bring myself to enter your aunt's house. If it was some place else it would be different
 But that's nonsense. You'll have to get over 1t sometime. Aunt El- len came here, you know. You ought to be willing to go half way if she is."
 "It isn't going half way. She came to deliver q message to you. Anyhow l don't want to go there."
 Just the same I want you to! Why. I've known Marcia ever since we were kids in high school. Now that she's lost her husband I'd be a fine one, wouldn't I. never even to go near? We won't need to stay long. We can be back in 30 min utes--"
 Gypsy shook her head. 'I can't go to your aunt house." she said.
 Jim had taken out a ciearet. He threw it down unlighted.
 That's nothing but an excuse" :" he said angrily. You know 1t. You're only saying that because you don't want to go!"
 II tell you I'm not. I've had all the insults from your relatives I intend to listen to! I'm not going out of my way to hear more of them!'
 "Now, Gypsy, tell you I want so skinned about Aunt Ellen :? She isn't going to hurt you. It's Marcia we're going to see anyhow. I've got to make this call and you're going to make it with me-"
 "Oh, no, I'm not!" The McBride temper was asserting itself. Gypsy's dark eyes flashed.
 But I say you are!"
 I'm not l tell you! I'm not!" One litle brown oxford stamped the floor. Suddenly tears blinded the girl Whirling she ran from the room and up the stairway. A mo- ment later, safe in her own room. the door slammed behind her sharply.
 It was unusual for Gypsy to weep. Now that the torrent was unleashed it continued for several minutes.
 No sound came from down stairs. She sat up, looking down at the rose satin cushion beneath her el- bow. Shame and humiliation col ored her cheeks. The visit to Mar cia was unimportant. What hurt acutely was the memory of the quarrel. How could she ever have said such things to Jim? How could she have lost her temper so com pletely?
 The angry words and defiant tones still rang in her ears. Gypsy was miserable. Of course Jim had been right. She should have gone with him. It had been cruel of her to fling Aunt Ellen's actions in his face after the loyal way he had e.

 Radishes tempt the housewife every time she goes to market these days. And in order to take advant- age of seeming three punches for" bargain, she frequently finds herself with more on hand than can be used merely as a relish and faces the possibility of waste. The waste can be averted, however. by serving cooked radishes in the following meal, and they are sure to be liked.
 Although radishes have little food value in a musicle-building way, they do have a distinct place among the mineral and ballast foods. The ash constituents are much the same as the yellow turnip and beet.
 The high content of indigestible structure with it's water-holding properties gives the relish peculiar laxative effect.
 As a relish. radishes are most popular. They come early in the spring and do much to whet indif- ferent appetitts. The small, round, red radishes-often called "break- fast" radishes-are deliciately fla vored and delightfully."- colorful, while the long white varieties have bite-y taste and decided brittle ness that many people like. The long req NdTlellcS are pIOHc u woodiness. There is a round white radish that tastes much like the round red one but is less liable to pithiness.
 Radish sandwiches are excellent to serve with fish salads. The white varieties can be used for these.
 When an attractive garnish is wanted, the red button radishes should be chosen. They must be scrubbed immediately clean before using. Let stand in ice water until crisp and serve immediately on re- moving from water.
 If children under ten years of age are allowed to eat radishes they should be warned to "chew them fine"
 Creamed radishes are very good dish and many women in the coun- try who face a fresh vegetable short age just at this season of the year will find the recipe worth keeping in mind.

There is one short succinct par agraph in the psychology books that would fill volumes if enlarged. It is this: Between three and six years a child is moulded for good or bad according to his surround ings."
 but 1t certainly does turn our at tention to the child not old enough os the pre-school age.
 We look at Billy on his little bike trundeling aimlessly down the street, stopping to watch a few ditch dig gers at work, then back to the steps where he sits and cups his small chin in his hands apparently think ing of nothing. A little neighbor boy runs over and perhaps they play on the porch swing for a while. Later we call Billy in for his early lunch. After that he takes a nap.

This is the time of year when I have innumerable inquiries about coloring hair that is growing gray. or even white.
 Why not? If graying hair de- feats you, if you feel that socially or in business way white hair would be no asset whatsoever. if you find yourself dwelling on the fact that you are no longer as young as you were, by all means dye your hair and say no more about it.
 I suggest that you have a reput- able person do it for you. You can henna your own hair. but you cer- tainly should know how. lmper, fectly done hair can be a fright. And well dyed hair can be beautiful. Il is worth while having 1t done rignt:
 One warning and one only Will I give you. Don't worry about haV- ing had your hair dyed. after you have done it. Men rarely know the difference. And, if we are frank, we really care a lot what our men folks think of us! dyed hair has changed just as much as the old-fashioned attitude towards a woman who paints her face and rouges her lips. NO one cares what you do to your hair or face just so the total effect IS pleasing. And if it pleases you yourself, half the battle is won: For you will carry off your new colored hair with a certain confidence.
 Dyed hair does need special care. Often it becomes brittle and dry: The right care can prevent this. IT YOU would only realize this the first minute that you begin having 1t colored, you probably could keep vour hair in excellent condition.
 rio many women wait until their hair has become broken and dry to take steps to help it. This is one place where an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure!

 Washington, April 2g-His roya! majety, King Prajadhipok of Siam. awoke today in western palace far from his homeland, but staff of servants fiuttered around him-as in Bangk ok-and above him waved the SiameSe flag.
 Before his majesty was q long day of ceremonials, designed to give out ward form to a spirit of amity be- tween two widely diverse but friend ly nations. He, an Oriental ruler, literally "monach of all he survey ed" had an appointment to entertain. and he entertained by, the elected head of moder, western democracy. The official program called for the king to visit President Hoover at 10:15 a. m. and for the president to return the visit at II a. m.
 The kings physical condition. weakened by q recent illness, caused his physicians to eliminate part Of the scheduled ceremonial, visit to the Arlington National cemetery and Mount Vernon and radio speech. His royal highness Prince Svasti. the kings father-in-law, planned to be at the shrines in his stead.
 Accompanied by Queen Rambhai ana q DTeleIllOuS ItllIlut, s1itlib . monarch arrived here at D. m. yesterday on special train from New York. All the pomp and circum- stance a republican government can muster were marshalled in their honor.
 Long before the train arrived Vice President Curtis, Secretary of State Stimson and other high officials as- sembled at the station. A company or marines. glittering in full dress of two toned blue slashed with red and gold. lined up to form lane from the tracks to the presidents S private room.
 As the train rolled in and stopped. a small man, almost overshadowed by his ceremonial silk hat, stepped out. to be greeted by Curtis. Then came Queen Rambhai, and Occiden- tai symphony in brown z
 Each member of the welcoming party in turn greeted the brother of the sun and his consort. Then the king greeted the staff of the Siam csc legation, and the entire party passed between the marines ranks to waiting lmousines, while the army band played the Siamese na- tional athem.

CHAPTER. xxxIH.

CHAPTER xxxIH.
 Gypsy's face showed her surprise. Marcia Phillips?" she repeated. You mean she's here?"
 Jim nodded. She's at Aunt FL lens. Came to-day. Aunt Ellen telephoned just before started home. She said Marcias in bad shape and needs a rest"
 There was moments pause. "of course," Gypsy began, after such a shock"
 Phillips family wanted her to come east, Aunt Ellen said, but Marcia thought Forest City would be quieter and more restful. There really wasn't any place else for her to go. Her mothers in Italy rented their Long Island place be- fore she left-and Marcia wouldn't hear of having her come back now Aunt Ellen and Marcia's mother used to be friends when they were girls"
 Perhaps he thought he had seemed too interested in his subject Jim's voice stopped abruptly.
 Ut must be very hard for her." Gypsy said mechanically. Those were the only words she could think of.
 Jim mumbled something. about cleaning up for dinner and turned to go. Half an hour later when he came downstairs Gypsy had fn- ished her letter and was pressing down the flap of the envelope. She looked up.
 T heard from Nina this morn job and already they've promised her raise. Want to read what she says?"
 Whats she doing?"
 "Secretarial work in an insurance office. She says there are lots of new words an d terms she's not familiar with but the people are pleasant. It's big office. I'm so glad everything is working out so well for her."
 Throughout the evening there them. Jim apparently fought against it. Gypsy had little to say.
 Once she asked, Do you think Mrs Phillips will be here long?"
 Jim looked at her, uncompre- hending. Then he flushed. "Oh- you mean Marcia? I don't know. Haven't the least idea"
 She did not open the subject again. Jim was experimenting with distant stations at the radio. After a few minutes he informed her:
 That's Fort Worth. Did you hear the announcer? Say--this is a a great night for reception. Won der if I can get Montreal"
 For a while longer he twisted the dials. Then he suggested, "If you want that letter to get off tonight I'll take it to the postoffice and mail it for you"
 "Oh, you don't need to do that. It can wait till tomorrow"
 Its to Nina, isn't it?'
 "Yes. I thought she'd be glad to hear from someone. Besides, it was thoughtful of her to write.
 Well, if I take it downtown now she'll probably get it whole day sooner. Think. I'd enjoy getting out anyhow. Want to come along?"
 The invitation was an after thought. Gypsy. whose eyes were carefully intent on the printed page before her, noted this. Jim had said. "I'll take it"-not Lets take it."
 The girl shook her head. "No, thanks" she said. You go if you want to. I think I'd rather stay in."
 She was in her room an hour and a. half later when she heard Jim enter the house. A little later he came up the stairs. He did not pause or knock at the door.
 Marcia Phillips arrival in For est City undoubtedly complicated troubled situation. It brought im- mediate consequences. Among these was Jim's and Gypsy's first quar- rel.

q For Dresses Under
OIlODOUl lO Seven Dollars

Think of being able to have
a new dress for less than ST!
three of them for around $40
which is generally considered
reasonable enough for one! 1t
seems incredible, but it's true.
Models at this price, you know,
are often carried in separate,
specially priced departments.
And these dresses are not
only made of the seasons smart
est fabrics, in the most popular
colors, they're also cut along
the very latest lines. boaSting
fashions newest details. Just
look at the ones we've picked to
illustrate and then do look at
them in the stores. Aren't
they too grand for words?
Corduroy Knit
Now, the first one on the left
is made of pure zephyr wool, in
that very newly smart corduroy
knit. And what grand sleeves
-leg-o'mutton type. And fitted
from the wrist right up past
the elbow by purling. An at
tractively contrasting color is
used for this lower part of the
sleeves, matching the belt, the
buttons and the ruff1y edging
of the little rounded collar.
This dress is a knockout in
Persian green with rich brown
for the contrasting color.
Though there are several other
combinations that you might
like even better.
OF course, it's an overblouSe
and very sporty-purled to fit
in closely at the waist, just like
a sweater! You'll be crazy about
it when you see it. And it's
less than 81. too.
A Windbreaker Feeling
But we've illustrated in the
center another very trig two
piece model. Here again we
have a dark skirt and light
blouse. And don't you love the
way the overblouse ends in a
close-fitting band at the waist
line? Slightly suggestive Of a
windbreaker. The wide jabot
effects rippling down each side
might almost be taken for a
scarf! The sleeves, you'll no
tice, have corresponding
flounces rippling off the elbow.
Those round diSc.like buttons
holding the overblouse closed,
are made of metal. And what
a note of loveliness they give to
the whole dress.
AS for the skirt-it looks as
If it had a yoke top, with that
deep V,shaped scanning. It re-
leases some neatly tailored
pleats in front. We especially
liked this model with the skirt
in black and the overblouse in
either turquoise or tropic green.

Your Health

Diet
By Logan CIendening, M. D.

BY Logan CIendening, NJ. D.
Viewing a taking picture the
other evening I was shocked
when a friend Of mine. one Of
the actresses. was shown get
ting into her bathtub. Not for
moral reasons. I am somewhat
too indurated by time for that.
Then the directors Of talking
picture have evolved a tech
nique Of putting ladies into bath
tubs on the screen which shows
about a square inch OF bare
back, bare arms and about as
mucta chest as you would see
in a Conservative old-fashioned
evening gown.
No, I was shocked for scien-
tific reasons. Because in the
middle Of the bath. the lady's
maid brought in a telephone re-
ceiver and the actress proceeded
10 take hold Of it and have a
conversation while sitting in a
tub full Of water. OF course. I
don. suppose there was any
water in the bathtub. But the
whole spectacle was a bad ex-
ample TO the audience.
Some Sound Advice
Never telephone or handle
any apparatus connected with
an electric house plug while you
are in the bathtub. Or while
your ',ody is wet. Don't jump
from the bathtub to turn on. a
light or to answer the tele-
phone. If you do you are likely
to take a much longer journey.
It is generally thought that
the low voltages coming through
domestic wires are harmless.
Generally it is true that voltages
of 10 or 120 do no harm, when
the skin is dry. But. as pointed
out by DR.. Horatio B. Williams,
the human epidemis when dry
has a great electrical resistance
which is lost as soon as the
skin Is wet.
The news carries the story of
a ..tizen of Philadelphia who
was found dead in his bath with
an electric apparatus for vibra-
tory massage in his hand Ex.
animation showed that he had
evidently died from electrical
shock.
Cause of Death
People have been killed in
their bathtubs in attempting to
turn lamps on or off or to move
electrical fans or heating appll-
ances," warns DR.. Williams,
The cause of death is probably
shock to the heart. 1t can be
proved in ANIMALS that even
small voltagts of 30 or 40 will
cause a condition in the heart
known as ventricular filbulla-
ton. This means that the
ventricles-the large muscular
chambers of the heart-inStead
of beating steadily and contract
ing completely, go into a state
of quivering. This affects all
the muscle bundles and prevents
them from pumping any blood
into the arteries of the body.

But it's very charming, too, in
brown with Spanish tile or
orange or maize and also in
black with red. And the fabric
it's made of is rough crepey
wool jersey rather mesh-like in
appearance.
Just because these first
dresses are made of wool doesn't
mean that we've forgotten the
silk ones. Why, we wouldn't
dream of it, especially after
seeing so many grand ones
pricd so reasonably. And what
do you think? The one we de-
cided to illustrate on the right
