 "You had better explain your part In 1t, Barb" Jean told his hancee. "Of course you didn't understand what 1t was all about"
 Barbara had controlled herself by now. Her face was still wet and the rouge was streaked; but her eyes were luminous again.

 "He didn't want to. He thought he could put the blame on someone else this way. Say that somebody else took the stone and gave me the fake: I suppose. I know him. He's careful about things that don't matter and forgets the places where he can be caught"

arriving in the living room just as Matilda entered to say that dinner was ready, Twice during the meal Gypsy had impression that Jim was eyeing her admfringly. She could not be sure.
 They drove to the Manley's home later and remained until nearly II o'clock. During the drive homo in the cool night Gypsy formed . reso- lution.
 She would think no more of the gossip she had heard in the beauty parlor until Jim himself brought up the subject. She had faith in his honesty. If Jim had decided on some drastic course of action he would tell her about it..
 It was comparatively easy to re- solve these things; much more dif- cult to put them into practice.
 For one thing, though Jim was gay that evening, Gypsy had the feeling that he was too gay. Every thing he said and did seemed to be with the conscious purpose of ap- bearing genial and careless. She remembered this and waited.

 The dinner for Mark Harrison was an evening Gypsy liked to think of afterward. The day had been warm but by five o'clock faint breeze was stirring. Sam put leaves in the table on the porch and Gypsy got out the finest damask in the collection of linen. She put tall white tapers in the silver candle sticks and in the center of the table 3 low bowl of pink roses. They were from the garden, freshly cut and sweet.
 Gypsy wore the chiffon frock with its bright colors against creamy background. She was a very at- tractive young hostess as she greeted the gray haired lawyer. Jim was in his most charming mood. Glad to see you, my dear" Har- rison said heartily. Glad to be here. It's thoughtful of, you young folks to bother with an old man.
 '.We've wanted you. to come to see us for a long while;" Gypsy told him.
 'Did you? We'll, should have come. Nice place you've got here yes, a fine old home"
 He looked up at the high ceilinged walls sighed as though he might be thinking of days when he had sat in that room as the guest of Jim's father. Instead. of being gloomy he smiled and began an amusing am ecdote.
 They went out to the porch and Matilda began to serve the meal. Harrison enjoyed himself. He seemed delighted with the outdoor dining room, praised the garden and promised to return some day to see 1t in the sunshine. He told stories that were delightfully."- hu- morous and he talked seriously.
 They fingered over dessert. At last Gypsy, lied the way back to the living room and for two more hours Mark Harrison entertained them. When he finally rose to go he took Gypsy's hand in his.
 'She's a. fine girl, Jim" he said, smiling. T envy you Take good care of 'her!" sa
 s After the lawyer was gone Gypsy went to, the kitchen to have last look and see, that all was we'll there. She was feeling almost happy a little later when shea. climbed the stairs. sS,s
 The mood continued throughout the morning next day and until early afternoon. Then as Gypsy stepped out sto bring in the letters the postman had left sshe saw Mar cia Phillips coming up the walk.

kets several times week from nearby mushroom farms, so most of us can enjoy the fresh product rather than the bottled or canned one.
 Although mushrooms have been called vegetable beefsteaks" on account of their high protein con- tent, this title Is misleading. AL most ninety per cent of the mush- room is water, so a goodly quan- tity of them would have to be eaten to make them an adequate meat substitute. Even then they have been found to be deficient in some of the nutrients present in lean meats. One pound of lean round beef steak furnishes 730 calarics or fuel value per pound. while one pound of mushrooms as purchased yields only 210 calories. Conse- quently, the chief value of mush- rooms lies in their unique flavor.
 Water May Lessen Flavor.
 Unless mushrooms are very dirty. and sandy, they should not be washed. They are very delicate and water tends to destroy their flavor as well as make them tough. Separate the caps from the stems. Scrape the stems and peel the caps if the skin is tough. The stems are often together than the caps and require longer cooking.
 If mushrooms must be washed. do it very gently, talking care that the giils do not become water soaked. Dry them on soft cloth and turn cap. gills downward. to dry.
 The peelings can be covered with cold water, brought to the boiling point and simmered over a low fire for fiftten minutes. Strain through and use the stock for fiavoring soups anl sauces. Toy will be amazed at the change a few tablespoonsful of this mushroom stock will make in the flavor Of cream of spinach or carrot soup.
 Mushrooms and peas are a de- licious combination. A few mush- rooms added to a dish of spaghetti or macaroni, make this regular "party'' connection. The meat left on a soup bone is apt to be taste less but contains most of It's nour- ishment. If this meat is chopped and combined with mushrooms for flavor, an appetizing dish Is the re- suit. A few mushrooms added to a meat pie made with leftover meat makes this dish truly delicious.
 The flavor of mushrooms is cr,l- phasixed If they are sauted Tn little butter before adding to any dish, Be sure to use all the butter and mushroom liquor in the pan, for this is rich and fiavorsome, Mushrooms are ideal for the first warm spring days when appetites need tempting by unusual havors. !

there. Presently she heard low knock at the door.
 "Who is 1t ?" Gypsy called.
 Tt was Jim who answered. May I come iri?'' he asked.
 "Of course.'
 She started to rise but the door opened before she was on her feet. Jim, immaculate in white flannel trousers and blue coat, appeared. < Don't move!" he protested. Just thought I'd come in and talk a mo- ment. You look as though you were all in! Have; a big day ?''
 ~ Gypsy sat up. She caught the 'negligee about her more securely. '.I'm not tired" she said. 1T went down town this afternoon and de- cided to walk back instead of talk ing the car. It was foolish, guess.
 You should have telephoned the office," he reproved her. 'I could have brought you in. the car. When you're down town around four o'clock or after you ought to let me know"
 Z T will next. ,time," she smiled. There was something reassuring about Jim's presence. She seemed so big and strong and sure of himself. Slowly her doubts began to loosen.
 Jim inquired about preparations for the dinner next evening. He seemed to be in unusually good spirits, told her that Harrison had been pleased with the invitation and chatted about his days work.
 Presently he asked, How about driving out to see Abbie and Charles Manley after dinner? Been promising to get out there for a long while"
 "I'd love to go." Gypsy said. "oh, I must start dressing! Matilda will have everything on the table" She went to the dressing table, seated herself. . <. <, 9s per-" he said. "Will you be down soon 2"
 ..In 10. minutes!' Gypsy declared She had her hair. down and was 'combing it out vigorously. There was color. in her cheeks now but it was not from humiliation. Gypsy fluffed the soft waves about her face. The beauty parlor operator had done her work splendidly.
 There were a half-dozen crystal jars and bottles on the dressing table. Gypsy dabbied in one, then another, rouging her cheeks, dust ing them with powder and touching her ear lobes with fragrant scent. She moved quickly. Soon she was slipping out of the negligee and get ting into a pale yellow, ruffled cot ton frock. It had a full skirt and sash. The ruffles stood out crisp ly cool, giving Gypsy the look of a quaint young lady on an old-fash- toned valentine.

Are you interested in statistics on children's books. A recent re- port brought this enlightening news:
 "Children's books have doubled in the last ten years .,.. but un- counted thousands still grow up without ever owing or reading a good book other than school texts.
 Publications are that home .li- braries unfortunately play rela- lively unimportant part in the read ing of American children. Par ents in certain districts find it. dif- ficult to find good juvenile books on sale.
 the reading public is less than 47 per cent of our population. The average American buys two books annually and reads but two.
 Rural investigation shows that but, six homes out of 5z3 own or subscirbe for a child's magazine.
 Habits of reading seem to tend to become more individual and quite fixed by the, sixteenth year. Large numbers are at work by this period and find in the daily press and the sensational story magazine their reading thrill.
 Library System Praised.
 "The public libraries, of which there are 5000 in this country, are one of our great institutions. They are in all large cities and in many smaller. and in few rural areas. but 43 per cent of our population live in communities without such library service. Only a small per centage of the population actually use the books. In New, York City, 70 . I.a Pnr A- partment daily, while 30,419. books are loaned for circulation each day. But the population of the areas Involved is 3,133.000. If each book taken out had been taken by one person, those using the library an any one day are about all per cent of the population. 5.
 "Cf the books in circulation. 39. per cent were taken by young people under sixteen years of age.

NANCY PAGE Customs of Kesterday Color Mems Conduct To-day ~.r.n-A~
 By B8oFsnes rn CsDhe.

The Good Taste girls found that Nancy could not only answer their questions on social usage but in answering them she could give the reasons for the customs. And once the reasons were known the whole problem became simplified.
 Take the question of who precedes whom in entering . restaurant, a church or theater. <3S %
 Here are Nancy's arguments: When a man and girl enter a restaurant or any place Where there are many people the man precedes the giri.to clear a pathway for her, for custom still says that women are the weaker sex and need pr0tec- ton. Now suppose that there Is 8 head waiter or an usher to do the clearing of the way, then the girl follows her guide with her young man following behind her.

''When a couple are leaving a theater or crowded place the man goes first, again to make pathway for her He is presumably on the lookout for any harm which might come to her. That is why men walk on the outside of the side walk. Were ain attack going to be made 1t would come, presumably. from the street, therefore he is on the outside to protect chr.
 When Q girl and man go into 8 restaurant and have choice of seats beside each other or across from one another it is considered better form to sit at the table across from each other. It looks more dignified. Two people sitting close beside each other are apt to sugges: betting which is never in good taste and certainly not in a public place. ; Copyright. 1881, Publishers Syndi-

 Daintiness might be said to come next to godliness; in the long run of things.
 Everybody can't be q raving beauty. Nor can everybody be chic as a Parisian. But, daintiness Is one attribute that can be acquir- ed and capitalized. Even if you're a six-foot lady, you can develop certain .fastidiousness that is dainty Daintiness rests first of all on cleanliness. You can't be remem- bered as pIeasingly dainty person unless you are scrupuiously clean.

nothing "officially" about the report he
would go to Cuba this Winter as an
arbiter Of the disagreements. and ex-
pressed surprise at the printed predic-
tions he would do 80.
First public mention Of such a pos
sibility was made by weekly publ
cation here when 1t printed humor-
Gus paragraph suggesting the mayor go
to Cuba to settle the difficulties of that
republic. and that President Machado
Of Cuba come here and preside over
the Board Of Estimate meetings.
Report Plan Considered.
Today. however, there was a serious
report the mayor was considering ac-
ceptnnce OF an invitation to act as
Cuban mediator when and If he re-
ceives such an invitation
The Evening Post said the report led
Immediately to political predictions
that the mayor is seeking to create
for himself a national reputation with
the view OF being elected to higher Of
Aces, notably to a seat in the United
States Senate"
The Cuban consul in this city said
''he had no remarks to make" and
added he knew nothing about the re-
port
An Associated Press dispatch from
Havana said the rumor was received
with slight credence there. There was
no official comment, in the absence of
President Machado, who was on a va
cation trip, but unofficially the report
was described as ridiculous"
Early in his first administration he
