my time on that-thnt schoolboy- just cant Patty. I've got to see that Bard-attends to business and paints thCGe pOrtraits-and col lecta the money for tacm.
 "Ilc would never think of getting paid if 1 wasn't there to remind him, Patty. You don't realize how kind of careless he Is about money
 Get somebody else thcn." said Patty firmly. Besides, I'm going out to Pay Dirt for the weekend. Mrs Jackson invited me and l ac- ccpted.'
 Ginger laughed mirthlcssly. "He seems to stand his 10 years of hurt feelings with great deal of equa- nimity If you ask me. You don't notice any pining on his part, do you? He may wear his heart on his sleeve. but you don't notice any blood spattcring off on his friends. do you?"
 "oh. Eddy's good sport. He doesn't do his bleeding in public"
 Driven to desperation by Patty's refusal, Ginger tried to make up her mind to an acceptable substi- tute. Miriam Updike had ruined her chances by the cigaret episode. Nellie Meec ham was too pretty. Al- ice Forsythe was not pretty. but she had a way about her that Gin ger did not trust. Grace Harris was notorious necker. Pearl Edi- son made Ginger tired. Amy Lcavitt talked too much.
 And then as last resort she hit upon the expedient of putting 1t squarely up to Eddy himself. After all. as Patty said. he was a good sport, and he would realize what a jam Phil had unwittingly got her into.
 She sent for him in great haste and Eddy obligingly dropped the important agricultural experiment he was conducting and hurried right in. Ginger did not mince words.

 The blue-coated figure that had hesitated stepped up and snapped the handcuffs around Corrinne's slim wrists.

 "You'd better remove them, sir," the one with Harry said. This can all be explained"
 ''Sorry, I can't. I'm just doing my duty" The man gave q defiant glance at Harry Becker.
 Almost immediately IHarry's right arm shot out. caught the officer of tke law on the jaw, and sent him sprawling to the ground. With q delft movement he reached fin the mans pocket, removed the key and un- snapped the handcuffs. from Cor rinne's wrists.
 An old, wild reckless joyousness surged through Corrinne as Harry struck out. Harry was fighting fo. her! Now that she needed protec- ton he was there. ready with his fists. When civilization dropped It's veneer and the primitive impulses were first, 1t was to her aid he turned. He still loved her! Or would he have done as much for anyone? Like the passing splendor of shining dream the joyousness receded until 1t was drab gray that meant nothing.
 But he did fight for me struck a policeman for me- she tried to exult.
 Mabers eyes rested cn Harry for a second after the encounter, and slow recognition dawned in them.
 You aren't but you are Harry Becker!" she said. You're Clifford Becker's cousin! Oh. now, I sec! You were to get the ring away from me for Clifford, and you planted this girl there as a tool! But he gave 1t to me. and you can't take 1t away. You or any one else!"
 Tlu group stood quietly while Harry questioned the girl. Why did he give 1t to your"
 Because he couldn't get the money for me. And he mad to make good with something or I would have told some stories about him and they wouldn't have been embroid- cred in sky blue floss, either!"
 Suddenly Corrinne realized that the melodramatic appearance of Ma belline Smith had worked in her favor. By her actions, in having Corrinne arrested and giving her story. In order to hold on to the em- erald, Madeline had absolved Cor rinne from a trickery.

Putting old wine in new bottles has always been frowned upon But there's no law and certainly rtD pre- judice about putting your beauty lotions in new dresses and parading them on your dressing table like 6 flock of new purchases.
 Many of the new creams, powders, rouges, perfumes. soaps and So on come in lovely containers that you couldn't beat.
 But lots of you prefer to buy in' quantity and there Is something dis couraging about a gallon of lotion standing there to be used up! Put q little of it into an inexpensive colored bottle. or a finely blown one of crystal and make 1t dress up your
 powder room for you.
 l suppose no age ever produced such really pretty vanities as this age and made them available for all of us at ridiculously cheap figures.
 I passed a department store the other day and saw an entire bath room set of bottles, jars, containers that no one would sneeze at for less
 than one dollar. And there are
 many attractive ones, that costs a few cents each.
 Therefore, I suggest as gesture to a world gone gay with spring fever. that you consider getting your beauty makings int. the fash ion parade. If you don't want to
 bother with changing your creams and things, certainly you either can pick them with an eye to making an ensemble or else you can transfer your choice of this or that into q cGntainer that Jibes with the rest of your room.
 Most i'm portant of all, 1t seems to me, is the matter of consic ering the color scheme of your room, your bathroom or wherever you keep your things. There is a tendency to overdo color. Why not go in for
 novelty crystal things. with line or dash or dot of color, or perhaps even just . gay stopper.or lid? When you finish with rsdecoratins your own dressing table. there is aI- ways the man of the family's, pro- vided of course there is 2 man of

 When she told the doctor what she had done he read her a lecture on the care q nursing mother must take.
 When you worry. 1t upsets you and your digestion gets out of order. That in turn affects your milk and then the baby feels the results. A nursing mother must remember that her condition Is usually reflected in her nursing child,
 When mother gets tired out physically, whether 1t be from work or play, she makes her baby suffer. Roger is not dangerously Ill, but you and Ann soon will be if you don't get hold of yourself.
