 One of the most refreshing ways to begin a hot weather menu for luncheon or dinner is with a fruit soup. While many housewives have been using this first course for sev- eral years, fruit soups are far from common, and this novelty adds much to their attraction.
 A clear pool of rich color Is dis tinctly pleasing to the eye, and com bined with the faint fragrance of fruit, tempts doubly.
 Tart fruits are best suited to chilled soup which above all must be piquant and stimulating. A com bination of fiavors is also good and affords a variety of effects.
 Must Be Cold
 Any service which would be cor rect for either bouillon or a fruit cup can be used for the chilled fruit soup. Bouillon cups chilled in the ice box before filling, sherbet glass; es, glass cups, cocktail glasses or grape fruit sets all are permissible. The soups are eaten with a bouillon O. mall-bowled soup spoon.
 Thorough chilling is essential, for half the charm of the soup lies in it's temperature.
 The thickening agent may be cornstarch, arrowroot, tapioca or even flour. The utmost care must be taken not to make the soup too

thick. A firm. sticky concoction is far from inviting but Q slightly thick, syrupy consistency is cooling and appetizing.
 The following recipes may inspire you to work out some combination for yourself.
 Currant Soup
 One quart red entrants, 3 cups water, 3-4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons minute tapico, few grains salt.
 Stem and wash fruit. Crush and simmer in water for 20 minutes. Strain through a jelly bag and add sugar. Bring to the boiling point and add tapioca and salt. Cook un- til tapioca is clear and mixture is transparent. Chill and serve.
 Two cups of red raspberries and two cups of red entrants makes 8 delicious combination.
 Strawberry and orange is another good combination.
 Plums make an appetizing soup and provide an excellent way to use this fruit in menus.
 Plum Soup
 One quart plums, cups water, l stick cinnamon, 2-3 cup sugar. l tablespoon arrowroot, few grains of salt.
 Wash plums thoroughly. Put into kettle with water and simmer until skins are broken and fruit is tender. Strain through jelly bag. Add cin- namon and sugar and bring to the boiling point. Add salt and stir in arrowroot mixed to a smooth paste with a little cold water. Cook until mixture thickens slightly. Chill and serve.
 Arrowroot often is used in place ot cornstarch and is especially de- sirable for children, since it is more easily digested.
 Salt is always used to take care of the fiat" taste of whatever thick ening agent is used.
 Cherries and grapes also make de- licious fruit soups as well as all the berries.

 Sue had a sudden sense of 1one- liness as she went up the walk. She didn't want to be left alone. She wanted Jack She wanted to feel his arms around her again, his lips pressed against hers, his voice saying the things that she had once feared he would never say. She remembered the night that he had gone to Florida and she had waited so wearily for him to call and he hadn't. She had come far since that night. Life had gone down some crooked streets but around to a smooth highway that stretched ahead with nothing to break it at all.
 There was a new moon in the sky a thin white one that was as perishable as a chiffon veil or a crystal bowl. Sue looked at itand made a. wish. And the wish fol- lowed another train that was speed ing along somewhere in the night. East. west, north or south. Sue didn't know.
 Sue sat down by the window and watched the night for a little while She threw the dark tumbled curls away from her face, and crossed her slender white arms on the win dow sill. She was suddenly glad that she was young and slim and vibrant; that there were so many years of life before her. Life with Jack. Without him. But she didn't have to. If he should die.. e.. Trains were always being wrecked. But he wouldn't.
 She heard Ted coming in. And she thought of Sarah, whose train followed the silver rails of another track.
 "To-morrow". she told herself, suddenly sensible, "to-morrow I have to find job! have twenty four cents to my name. and I need some new clothes"

 "Mercyl Can you handle strikes?" Irene breathed reverently.
 Well" Prentiss said, T have ideas that fit in between those held by dad and the labor leaders. But that's not the topic of the moment" he added hastily. twill you marry me to-day, Irene?"
 "To-day?" she gasped. "Oh, Prem tiss-not before to-morrow!"
 "Why not to-day?" he insisted. Nov! You look like bride. Let's drive right into the city. We can have it over at city hall in no time. Of course, if you'd prefer a church."
 "But to-day!" Irene gasped anew. Doesn't it appeal to you?" he asked. "To me it would be a great way to do it. I think people miss lot by delaying in order to make preparations. Just think-you left the house for drive with me--you were Irene Everett. Wouldn't you get a kick out of going back as Irene Gaylord? A sort of surprise for yourself, you know. And it wuold make the whole thing so tluCH edSleT LOT IIle.
 Irene blanced up at him. He was not the lover of the night before. He was thinking of convenience of business convenience. We'll, she didn't mind, but she'd like him to be more ardent before she gave in to him. He'd never be so ready to neglect her then.
 So she would not yield until Prentiss had duly coaxed her. She knew, while he was about it, that he was heading for the city, but she did not protest. Soon after she consented to marry him they reached the Greensboro Bridge.
 The great city's northern towers spread out before her in a magic mist. It did not seem possible they could be so real. But Irene did not look long at them. It takes some i minutes to cross over the Queens boro bridge and it is always a thrilling experience to those who bow to achievement. Irene's vision was filled with pictures of herself as the bride of a rich mans son. The towers of Manhattan, as seen from the bridge, were out of her sight before she had given them second thought.

Their progress along the world-fa- nous street, halted at intervals by the traffic regulations, was like a trip to a fashion exposition to Irene. There was dress she could buy tomorrow in a win dow with all the accessories for a perfect costume She could walk in and buy the lot. No asking of prices. And there was smart travel ing equipment. She'd have a case with solid gold fittings.
 
 But it was not these things that brought on the fever of anticipa- tion which had seized her. As they kneared the corner where the famous jewellers establishment which bears no identifying sign on the building is located she put a hand on Prem | ltiss' arm and looked up at him like

'' 0GGF GOGF SUE
By MarqeEy Hale

Sue went to the train with Sarah. She watched the porter take charge of her bags; watched Sarah get her ticket and a last-minute reservation. Not many people were travelling, so it wasn't hard. Then suddenly Sue was waving at the slender figure in brown, as Sarah's piquant, rather audacious, rather wistful face smiled from the win dow.
 Sarah was looking very lovely, Sue unused, as she started home. There was something very youth full, yet very sophisticated, about the soft brown woolen suit and the snowy chiffon blouse that spilled big brown polka dots in a dozen ruffles that made a collar. The brown and white slippers had cost money. The white pocketbook with its brown leather tips and the white close fitting hat and gloves weren't bought at a bargain counter, either, Sut knew, Sarah had spent her money rather lavishly.
 "Tve decided that if you are go- ing to be successful you must look successful" Sarah had said. I'm going after something big this time, Sue. Not cottages with checkered gingham curtains and red roses by the door. Pm aiming higher"
 There isn't any higher aim. You're shooting at nothing" Sue had corrected her.
 That's just because you hap pened to want the simple life with certain handsome young man and you're getting it. If you weren't you might think that orchids could banish. .violets."
 And now Sarah was gone.
 Sue saw lights in the Metcalf home as she reached home. Grace and Jimmy were still there. But they were leaving in day or two as Jimmy had an out-of-town as- signment for his firm. They would be back again in a month, would

Nancy's telephone bell rang. "This is Dorothy's mother talking. Mrs. Page. sent Dorothy over to play with Peter. She wanted to wear her large hat and I let her. But when she gets to playing will you please take it off so that she can get the benefit of the sun. You don't want to do 1t? Why not?"
 And then Nancy told her what she had learned about small children and hot summer sun.
 There is no doubt that sun is good for all of us, but it must be taken in moderation. Sun baths are not given to children, especially small ones for more than a few mo- ments at a time.
 To send child with tender, un- protected skin out into the merciless rays of the sun is cruel. To believe that, all one has to do is to re- member the sun burn on one's own shoulders after day at the beach.

 CHAPTER XXI
 Mrs Everett agreed that Irene's plan for frustrating Beryps at- tempt to prevent her marriage to Prentiss was perfect. She helped Irene to dress with unusual care, and gave her all. the money she had available in the house.
 Irene stayed in her room until Prentiss called and then she went down to him immediately so that he would not talk with her mother in the living room where Beryl might overhear.
 Irene affected extreme agitation. She wanted Beryl, if she saw her, to think she was upset over her coming interview with Prentiss. To Prentiss she explained nervously that she wanted to talk to him alone = her mother had left the TOOLl WuGH lTcIlS ciilcIcU tLC two had arranged. She wanted to ''go somewhere and talk with him."
 But don't you want me to speak to your mother--to tell her that we're going to be married?" Prem tiss protested.
 Irene smiled vainly at him. Not yet-please," she begged. T have something to tell you first"
 "All right" Prentiss agreed, "but you know you said you couldn't really say yes until I'd asked your mother" He laughed. What an old fashioned sweetheart you are!" he exclaimed happily.
 Irene took his arm. Lets go" she said, and ushered him toward the hall. Prentiss became serious. "Is there something wrong?" he inquired anxiously.
 Tn tell you" Irene said. loud enough for an eavesdropper to hear.

Children may we'll wear sun suits. those contraptions which consist of shorts with a suspender-like ar rangement of straps and nothing else. But with those there should be worn large hat that protects the eyes, the hair, the back of the neck.
 Then too, there are lotions which may be rubbed on to ease the skin. No progressive person believes in the old-time sun shade, veils. mitts and coverall clothes which we used to wear in the summer time. But mod eration is still wise. Let the children play, dressed only in sun suit and a wide brimmed hat, but put the sand pile in a shady nook, or have play spot to which they can return when the suns glare is too great.
