Come on in, Joe," Joan was saying. You know all of these people much better than do."
 Sally had stepped to the side of the room. She dropped down among the gay cushions on low studio couch, and didn't look at Joan or Joe Raynor. Her eyes were studying the fire, and the fire light, dancing on her hair and face, made them lovelier than she knew.
 Only Sue caught the quick start which Dr Raynor gave. It seem ed impossible that just the mig ht before Sally had been asking him to drive her home and he had been refusing. Her defenses had been up then, shabby pretences that they were. Now they were down.
 The party grew gay. The ten sion had snapped and everyone felt released. Joan had brought | along a basket of sanwiches and small cakes.
 i've hired a cook and she has to do something" she explained. "She made cakes to-day and l was wondering what to do with all of the food. Then Joe dropped in we knew each other a long time ago, too-before I went away to boarding school and to study art abroad - so I dragged him along. And learned some more of the drama of the last day. With the rest of the thing you've been telling, it makes grand story. I wish had been in on 1t. You were lucky, Sally"
 "Lucky?" Sally's word was just whisper. No one had mentioned Hal Prichard's relation to her. Everyone had talked around it.
 Suddenly Joe Raynor crossed the floor and sat down on the

You'll never guess where Dick and I went last night" said Sally, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
 Probably not-so I shall not try"
 We flew to Atlantic City!" There's a plane that gets you there in less than an hour-imagine!- and we flew down at about six, had dinner there, saw all the sights, did everything, and flew back at about eleven. I was in bed and asleep before one o'clock. But while we were there, I had my for tune told by palmist who told me was going to marry a tall, blond man Chats Dick, I hopeD and that I would take long journey by water (which I'm sure must be the Mediterranean cruise I'm long, ing for as a honeymoon.) But she told me one terrible thing! She guessed my age as twenty-six!"
 "I don twonder!" said stern- ly looking at her hands. Indeed she was being kind to you not to guess thirty. One doesn't have to be fortune teller or a palmist to see that you're neglecting your hands at an alarming rate. Look at those knuckles! Look at those lines! Look at that rough red back

 Bob stood for a minute, his book across his stomach, then he drop ped to the floor again and silently turned the pages.

 "Yes. She was goin' to some bridge party but when she heard about the Scouts she telephoned she couldn't be there. But you never see us drill and Nom comes often. I just wished you could see us. I'm in the bugle corps." Golf First | Are you? I didn't know that"
 You didn't? Why, you must be - mean, I've told you about twenty times.'

 The telephone rang and Bob an- swered. "It's MT Allen for you, Dad"
 Hello! Oh, yes, Kirk. No, noth- ing, just looking over a book. Sat- urday? Why, no, not much. Thought I'd play some golf, maybe. Whats going on? Polo! Why, yes, I can make it, think. Yes, guess Mary can go, too. She had a bridge but I think she cancelled it."
 "No, she didn't" said Mary's voice beside him. "She is going to watch Bobby drill"
 "No. Mary can't so. but I'll be there."
 Bob closed his book quietly and went outside.
 Across the street Mack's father was pitching ball with him. Bob went over.
 "Where's your dad, Mage" Mack's father always called him Mage Ask him to come over and we'll have a regular game. He used to be the best catcher in the coun try"
 He's busy" said Bob. He knew there was no use asking.
 "All right, Here-catch."

 Bob went into dinner after while. Take me to a movie, Dad?"

 "Yes, we'll go, dear!" said Mary. But the phone call came while they were at dinner. Nothing more was said, however, because Bob knew there would be another excuse.
 This was typical day in the Porter household ten years ago.
 Bob has been away all this sum- mer. Twice week he has written to his mother. He never writes to his father because it never occurs to him to do so.

 You're free already, Sally" Free? How could I be?" "Prichard's been married three times. He didn't divorce his first | wife when he married the second one. He tried to but missed out on some technicality. So his second | wife, whom he did divorce, never was really married to him Neither were you. When his divorce was granted the other day his real wife got word of it and made her pres ence known. Seen to-night's pa pers? It's there. But nothing is said about you. have a hunch your ceremony was faked, any way"
 Then I'm free!" Free as air."
 But what about the eyes?" "What eyes?"

 "We'll get after it." That plural pronoun had caught Sally's ear. Sue could see that. She could see her wanting to hope that maybe Joe Raynor didn't really hate her. and yet afraid to dare to hope that he didn't
 The next minute her eyes were weary again. Dr Raynor was rising.

 What shall l do?" she walled.
 "For one thing, wash your hands with beauty grains instead of soap. For another, never put your hands in water without rubbing them inn medtiaely afterwards with a soft ening hand lotion. Finally, if every night before going to bed you pat your hands with a generous amount of youthifying hand cream and leave it on all night under soft gloves, you'll find your hands infi- nitely smoother, softer, winter, and younger looking in the morning.

 YOURSELF
HAIR BRUSHES ARE REALLY TOOLS
By Alicia Hart
9!9sz sY NEA sERyIGE !NS:

HAIR BRUSHES
 ARE REALLY TOOLS
 Hair brushes should be pur- chased because of the length and firmness of the bristles, and never, never because the amethyst colored handle matches the cur tains at your windows!
 Hair brushes are not ornaments. are missing their calling by more tools. And they should be work of sight, in 8 drawer or box where dust particles will not have much of an opportunity of cling ing, to it.
 Keep your hair brush scrupu- lously clean. Every time you shampoo your hair, wash your brush. Otherwise you will be de- feating your own purpose. Wash the brush in between, also. This same rule applies to combs.
 The actual process of hair brush- ing Is designed to make the hair stronger, and the circulation of the blood swifter. Using an upward, outward motion, place a strand of hair on your brush. Turn 1t over on the bristles, describing as large an arc as you can. In this way every hair on your head is exer- cised. Repeat this process over and over again. After every three or four movements of the brush, wipe it on a clean towel. A sur- prising amount of dust and grime are removed from the hair in this manner.
 When your hair is so clean and so alive that it shines, massage your scalp. Place your finger tips against the sides of your head. Move your scalp, being careful not to let your fingers circulate over the surface. Loosen the entire skin. Concentrate on the spot at at the back of your neck, near the hairline. Work the scalp with q circulatory motion. The blood that is released flows more easily. It nourishes the roots of the hair.
 Hair should be brushed as faith fully as teeth are brushed. It will show the benefit of this extra labor on just as large a scale.
 Don't be afraid that you will brush out your wave. If 1t is the right kind, 1t will be lovelier when you are through.

Perhaps they would rather be alone but Mona couldn't leave them! It would seem too pointed, too much as though she was fol- lowing Barry. She would be quiet but she would have to remain. Remain-for what? And for how long? Barry and Steve would ulti- mately be leaving Holiday Island and setting out for the mine. Though they seemed in no hurry to leave, 1t occurred to Mona that they might be delaying their de- parture until she and Lottie had announced their plans.
 Days slid by. More drowsy days filled with sunshine. They all went to Grenada one morning in the launch to bring back supplies. They had lunch on the crest of a hill. Mona and Lottie resting while Steve and Barry sought out car- penters who were to be engaged for work on the hangar. On these little jaunts Mona was always proud of the boys. In their immaculate linen and pith helmets they looked like West Indian po- tentates, as indeed it is possible they were regarded.
 "Mona," said Lottie cautiously as they sat together on wide veran- da, awaiting Barry's return. "has Barry said-anything? Mona's tone was quiet. lifeless.
 Anything? I guess you've heard all he has said"
 There was pause freighted with questions. Has Steve said anything?" Mona asked presently. Has he ever mentioled Barry and me? Or has he said anything about me? Has he ever mentioned the rush he and Barry were in to leave Twilands a year ago or my-my marriage or the money 1 have now -or anything? Has he ever"
 Its all so queer" Lottie inter- rupted. "I have a sort of feeling that Steve and Barry are waiting for us. perhaps, to open the sub ject."
 Do you really think that?"
 Maybe" Lottie considered her well-shaped nails meditatively and relap apsed into silence. She laid an affectionate tender hand on Eona's arm.
 Darling" she went on presently why don't you speak 10 nm! :! AIter all. you were the offender"
 I'm the offender" repeated Mo- na slowly. "Oh, Lottie. it's all the biggest mess! Here we are, guests in their house. upsetting all their plans probably. Getting poor Miss Oracle over to chaperon-"
 She likes 1t. She dotes on it!" Lottie said soberly. "And that, Mona, Is our biggest bet!"
 Miss Gracie?"
 "Of course. Whose idea was 1t 10 bring her here to preserve appear ances? Do you suppose appearance es would matter or even enter any ones head down here if you were just an ordinary person to Barry? That hoy loves you. Mona!" Her tone italiciEed the statement. Why don't you give him q chance?"

side of the head is the one that Is revealed. The hats come down de- murely on one side of the face, and withdraw, with gayer note, on the other side.
 Some of the crowns are cut in order to use hair as part of the decorative scheme. If you are a brunei, a white velvet evening hat, made of soft, fattering loops of velvet, will appear twice as effec- tive if bands of dark hair, offer a contrast. If you are a blonde, with hair that has a srining, golden glint, black will make it twice as radiant.
 Minute caps are part of the new vogue, but they anchor themselves with bows that are tied up with all the chic any couturier could want. Sometimes the bows are at the back of the neck. Now and then they are at the side of the face.

 Some of these hats use veils. When they do, the veil falls just over the middle of the nose. pre- serving the rhythm and line of the curve of the hat.
 Hat materials are soft and crush able. Felts with & silken finish, velvets that catch the light and hold it, silk ribbons, and lace are the favorite materials. Lace is used extensively for small evening caps or turbans. Black is the most de- sirable color for them always.
 Black and white are proving that they can take more tricks than ever when they work together. The vogue for black frocks has brought this combination to the front again, as far as hats are concerned. Gray has come back, as alluringly femi- nine as ever, after a long absence.

NelU Heddgear Adds Touch Of Glan,or To He
 Fall Mode
By HELEN WELsHIMER


 New York.-You must tip your hat, this autumn, if you are going to top the mode with style. A one- sided tilt is the gayest note of the new millinery, whether the hats are large or small.
 Hats no longer look as though they all have been fashioned from few general patterns. Every bon net Is a creation in itself. It has a touch of glamor about the very way 1t is made, and the decorative touches, which have returned after long absence, are adding all sorts of charm.
 Madame Nicole, of Paris and New York, whose hats are adding gay glamor to the autumn millin- cry world, believes that worien must choose hats that are distinc- tive and alluring.

Protected by the palm trees, they woud rest bn the sand, blinking at the glare, drinking the milk of fresh coco huts gathered by the inevitable na- Live boys.
 The girls rarely saw Bud. Ever bn the alert, even in this drowsy heat, Bud was dashing for supplies in the boat, rising early and repair Ing the section of the island set part for the airport, swimming hlone, his bronzed body graceful hnd swift in the leaping foam.
 Bud ate any time, anywhere he happened to be from deliciously

YOUR TEETH Their Relation to Your
 General Health
By the Educational Committee. of the
 American Dental Association
BE TRUE TO YOUR TEETH

Teeth are the keystones of health Be true to your teeth" goes the adage, "or they will be false to yau."
 And before you have that false set installed, you will be in danger of attack from all kinds of poor health that can be traced to poor teeth.
 Cases of neuritis, defective vii sion, rheumatism, paralysis, heart trouble, indigestion and a general rundown condition are among the ailments that have been caused by defective teeth.
 Sir William Osler, noted British scientist, states that there is no one single thing in preventive medicine that equals mouth hy- giene and the preservation of the teeth" Another noted authority is responsible for the statament that the health measures of physician to prevent disaese migh be almost eliminated if the nation were kept in perfect condition for mchild- hood on for a generation two. Yet at the present time there are enough cavities in the mouths of Americans to keep our 60,000 dentists busy for more than 100 years even though no new cavities form. It is estimated that mroe than 90 percent of our children are handicapped by bal teeth.
 How, then. can we get along without dentists? Today we cannot. But the dentists themselves say that our children could if they were fed carefully a selected diet from the time they wede old enough to hold one in their hands.
 Most children have n heritage of good health. If they are also given a carefully planned course on how to benefit by that heritage, they will have sound bodies all through their lives. And sound teeth are the first prerequisite of q healthy body
