There was one gas jet burning low to illuminate the cavernous- looking stone staircase. At the foot of it she turned and held out her hand.
 Steyne took it, muttered some- thing almost inarticulate, and turned away; but the next moment
 he was back. Judy was crushed in
 his arms, and he was kissing her eyes, her hair, her lips-which met
 his with an irresistible response. "Judy, little Judy!" he whispered triumphantly. ''I love you-I love you! And you love mel" She tore herself away. She was as white as death.
 You mustn't" she gasped. You
 mustn't. Oh, how could I let you?
 You can't love me-you mustn't love me! You belong to Chummy.
 Do you think I'd steal you from my pal?"
 And just then, while the two stood facing each other, trembling with the reaction from that mos ment of irresistible passion, there came quick footsteps flying down the stairs, and the voice of Clara Jenks cried breathlessly: ''Is that you, Judy? What g re- lief! Such dreadful thing has happened--Chummy's been taken frightfully i'll! Doctor O'Shane is she'll live through the night" Steyne. She forgot all about every thing. She was up the stairs like a streak of lightning. She never answered Clara. She could only take in that Chummy was ill., desperately i'll. And she had been out enjoying herself! She had been
 having that wonderful time, lost
 in her dream of unreal delight!
 She felt like a traitor. The feeling was so violent that her
 skin tingled with it.
 Doctor O'Shane was on their
 landing, and Clara Jenks came up- stairs again. The doctors. fiery
 face was grave.

 a nurse on the way. No, Miss
 Judy, you'd never be able to do it. She must have skilled atten-
 ton. She'll get bit of sleep I've seen to that; and I'll be in early in the morning" Judy pulled his sleeve, and as she did so Alan Steyne's violets fell from her hands, 8 poor, with cred bunch. She did not notice
 them, although a few minutes ago the young mans arms had crushed
 them against her breast in that embrace which now was to her such a monstrous sin. The doctor looked at her with pleaded hoarsely. T couldn't bear iti"

 she said.
 "Yes, that must be it. I'm quite sure I never knew woman whose hair flowed in such black abandon before"
 The talk drifted from one thing to another. Sue hoped that he wouldn't suggest that they join the others very soon. At least, not un- | til the tables were made up. Suddenly she knew that he was as sensitive about his physical de- | formity as she was about her lack of knowledge of the rules by which the people played, with whom she was being thrown. He didn't want to go downstairs, either. He didn't quite know how to handle his | crutches. It hurt him to have to go | slowly and carefully when others moved with such swift grace. | | cushions of the great chair in which she was sitting. She was safe for a little while. "You don't care for the big pa- | rade idea that makes up the social whirl, do you?" the man asked Sue | suddenly.
 I'm not used ti it. It frightens me-"
 "You wouldn't buy your way in then?"
 "of course not" Wide-open dark blue eyes. Curved red lips. Sur prise in every feature. What made you think that would?'
 "Why, nothing. nothing But there have. been women who did, you know"
 "Not many. Not many more than men. Men sometimes set out to marry the bosss daughter for prestige"
 And girls aim at the Junior partners
 AS the man said the words Sue felt the swift color come into her face. She had done that very thing. But not for position. Be- cause she happened to love the Junior partner!
 "How long do you think a wo- man ought to wait for man to come back to her?" Arnold Page was asking.
 "Forever, if she loves him. That's what I'm supposed to say, isn't 1t ?" Sue asked. "But it does not work. When a man goes away and doesn't come back woman can't live on memories. It makes her queer to do 1t. She has to catch at some other straw"
 Would you have done that if Jack had disappeared in the west ?"
 "of course not!" She caught herself up. She was contradict ing her own theories. "But I would have kept on believing that he was coming back. ..."
 "I see."
 It was a queer turn for the con- J versation to be taking. What did it mean? And was it somehow re- lated to the picture in the port folio?
 Someone was calling her name. Joe, evidently. She stood up.
 "I'd rather stay and talk to you" Impulsively she said: when we are in our own home won't you come to dinner some time 2"

NANCY PAGE Modern Houses Are
 Marvels of Convenience 
 By Florence La Ganke

Grace has known Nancy for many years, what more natural, then, than that she should come to tell Nancy of her adventures in house hunting. She would be a bride late in November. She and her fiance wanted to buy or lease a house for the time being. Later they planned to build, but thai could not be managed just yet.
 "There are a lot of features in the new homes that are interest ing. Here are some of the things I have learned, Nancy. First, no house worthy of the name of be. ing modern is now built without careful consideration of insulating boards and material on the mar ket, any one of which will keer the heat in the house in the winter time and the heat out in the summer.
 Then air conditioning is some thing rather new but quite &C., ceptable. We have been living. so we are told, in homes that are too dry. Humidifying the atmos- rhara fc fpnnnrfa pf

Go into a studio and take your place before an easel. Then try to reproduce the plaster model on your canvas as the other students are doing so easily and cleverly.
 Cross to the hospital and go into a room where dressings are made. Sit down beside the nurse who is so dexterously folding and rolling and packing the different gauges into congresses and bandages- then reach for some yourself and try it. Your fingers will be all thumbs. In thirty minutes you will decide that 1t can't be done, by you. Again. pick up a violin. If you know nothing about music, in. stantly a wall of impossibility ris- es. You give right up.
 On Unfamiliar Ground
 Try a business office. Endeavor to make head or tail of set of books and to make an attempt to balance them If you have had no education or experience.
 At the end of this perfect day take stock of yourself. You got up in the morning feeling rather efficient, but now you rate about thirty-one cents in your own esti- nation.
 Ut just seems that can't do anything" you summarize. You are discouraged and less confident than you were in the morning. And all this time no one has scolded you, no one has called at- tention to your stupidity or laugh ed at your mistakes. If they had you would have lost the little self respect you had left.
 All day long children are trying to do things that they don't know how to do. Tn time they will learn how to master some of them but 1t does take time, a long time, and much instruction.
 New Lessons to Be Learned And new things are constantly coming along. They are always having to jump new fences. Children live in a world that emphasizes their mistakes. and learning means mistakes. Now that you have had a day of it per- haps you can see what it means for your boy or your girl to get up every morning knowing that he or she will be scolded a dozen l times before night for doing things | wrong. Children throw things off more easily than grown-ups and it is a | fine thing they do. We should be nervous wrecks If we had the harp l ing and haranguing they get for inefficiency almost everywhere they turn.
 When will we learn to under stand the discouragements of child hood? When will we learn that scolding and impatience only low CTS the power to learn? Often children deliberately slack en their efforts to make good from sheer hopelessness.

This is the open season on de- butantes. From now on until New Years day they are in the lime light. Watching any one of them, any one of us can get ideas in beauty.
 First of all, the young girl to- day has something more than mere beauty. She has the grace to hide merely appears beautifully gotten up and rather unconscious about it.
 First of all, the young girl to- day has something more than mere beauty. She has the grace to hide the fact that she knows it. She merely appears beautifully gotten up and rather unconscious about it
 This un-selfconsciousness of the debutante, even if only a dodge has acharm many of us could dc well to copy. It is part and parceI of the changing world. Every where people feel it is necessary to give more for the same price. This is the extra touch on beauty that this seasons debs throw in!
 Don't think they get that way by mere chance. Theirs is a stud jed style. You can learn about women from them. The funda- mental secret of it all is to be perfectly groomed, poised, gowned, then forget about yourself and for a change consider those about you! Figures are all important in this new unselfconsciousness of beauty. It is all right to talk of curves. But certainly it is no year to let your self have too many. A middle | aged spread looks twice as bad, as a matter of fact, in gleaming sheath gown as it did in the mon chalant sports things of two years ago.
 There is no way for most wo- men over 25 to keep here curves within bounds but to do two things. Be careful of what foods are eaten. Be sure you exercise! Look to your diet first. After approximately 10 years now of the slender form vogue, experts agree that 1t is much healthier and more satisfactory to work out a sys- tematic diet schedule. that reduces you gradually and yet keeps you nourished than it is to go on some stringent diet that starves you so you finally dream of stealing a cream puff somewhere.
 Every reducing diet lands hard on three things most women like. First of all bread, cake, potatoes. fancy pastries, and all starchy foods. Second, fats, such as but ter, cream, meat fats, and oils. Third, liquids, and this means li- auor as well. Don't take liquids with your meals and don't take too many at a time.
 If you watch these three major vices in food, your will probably be the reward of curves that make thio saaSon'S styles gO rOund

 Rabbits and squirrels are com mon game foods and can be cook ed in many ways. Fricassee, stew, pie and roast all are popular and easy to prepare.
 Venison, propertly cooked, is one of the most delicious of the wild meats. Very easily digested, 1t is a particularly suitable food for the convalescent.
 Although newly-killed deer has a sweet flavor it Is quite tough and must be allowed to hang from one to two weeks before cutting into joints and steaks. This is known as "ripening' and is the way all beef is treated in order to make 1t tender. The meat of course must be kept in a very cold place.

Its my birthday" out, all alone, on cold night like that!
 The nurse arrived and went into the patients rom. Clara returned | to her own quarters. Judy was just going to hers, to get into 2 | dressing gown, when she heard a
 mans voice calling softly up the
 staircase:
 "Judy-Miss Grant-may I come
 up?"
 She stood irresolute for a mo-
 ment, and then ran down. She met
 Alan Steyne on the third landing Haven't you gone?" she asked ''No. How could I-without
 knowing? How is she?" | Judy was just on the point of
 hysteria.
 "She may die tonight" she
 whispered in passionate self-accu- sation. T dare say. she will, and | it'll be my fault for leaving her
 and your fault! hate you-l I never want to see you again!
 Chummy's dying-and we've been

 the dark stairs again, leaving
 Alan to make his way out of the house.

Modern homes are interested in the problem of garbage disposal, too. Fireplaces that are built so scientifically that they draw and don't smoke are as much a part of a new house as the front door. Thank goodness, the day of burn ing wood or coal or both in your living room fireplace has come back.
 Garages with easily controlled doors that are not hampered by drifts of snow or sheets of ice are now available. In addition we have found an increasing number of homes with garage attached so that the machine may be entered without going out of doors.

 He had to hurry away. Judy went into Chummy's room, and looked distractedly at the restless figure with the changed face and the burning eyes of high fever She felt utterly hopeless, and went out again to the landing to wait for the nurse.
 T never had such a fright in my life," Clara Jenks informed her What do you think? I'd given her her supper and gone to my room for a minute or two, and when I came back she was gone!
 "Gone!" exclaimed Judy.
 "Yes," said Clara. "She must have been light-headed all the time. Luckily I thought of the cafe, and followed her; and there she was, drinking vermouth and smoking.
