Good. I thought you were that way, too" He leaned a little closer. "This older sister. what's her name. ."
 Call her Jane," Ruth prompted.
 All right. Jane wanted to be a trained nurse. She knew she wasn't pretty enough to vie with Sally so she thought maybe she could put cooling hand on q fevered brow even if she couldn't make a well man get up any temperature"
 Exactly" Ruth nodded.
 But l can't undestand why Sally left you out. You would put this Jane person to flight, too. Don't you and Sally hit it off we'll together
 Not especially" Ruth answered Have you seen Sally lately"
 "Oh. not for some time"
 Something in the mans tone caught Sues suspicious. She noticed that Jack gave him q quick glance, too. and didn't look up as he slowly ate his ice. Jack did that when he was thinking. Sue knew.
 'T like the way Sally wears her hair" Prltchard talked on. "That low way of catching 1t on her neck. But you are better this way"
 Sue saw Ruth's eyes grow q little narrower. Ruth had made the re- mark. just the other day. Sue re- membersd, that Sally had been wearing her hair that way for only q very few weeks. It had been loose before that. A bob growing out.
 What are you doing this even ing" Jack asked suddenly.
 "Oh, I'm meeting q friend for n couple of hours. though. He's just passing through town. I'm free now. I had thought of driving out to call on the senior partner of your firm. He suggested that l dron In and sign the last papers, if had time"
 wen drive you out" Jack said. Are you free, Ruth"
 Yes" She smiled and Jacks $ lips twitched as he glanced at Sue and back to Ruth again. He knew too. that she was playing n part
 The road that they had to take passed Harry Becker's house. Sue hoped that Jack wouldn't notice cars around and lights shining prodigiously. She knew he would be hurt that he had been left out although he would understand that It wasn't Hnrry's fault. But as the cnr swung along she saw the lighted house ahead and knew that he did. too. Another car making n turn into the drive brought Jack to sudden stop Tho other car stopped too. Sue turned her hend. She saw Sally Bradley looking out of the other car with an amazed expression or her face.

word Home! I'm so sorry, Ann, 1 just didn't think at all. Your week to do tho work--I'll help, every minute"
 silly" Ann came to put an arm across Cecily's shoulders. Ut is all right. Why shouldn't you come home? Nonsense about the work. But--but, honey there isn't q thing in the house for dinner. 1 was going to fix up some soup fake 1t, really-and make some French toast. The shops arc closed now. We'll have to plan"
 But the roast!" Cecily implored. That good beef roast. There was plenty of 1t left--and the caramel pudding. l did have sense enough to remember them before l asked him. Grand and Rosalie never eat meat for lunch, and hid the caramel pudding"
 Neither of the girls smiled. Despair was deep in Cecily's deli cate blond prettiness. Tragedy marred Ann's dark beauty.
 "Mary-Frances and Ermintrude came home hungry after school and lunched-"
 But, Ann, they couldn't eat all that food! They'd burst"
 "fhey didn't eat 1t all. But there isn't enough pudding to serve and there isn't enough meat to do any thing with--not even make hash"
 "Wel, what Is the matter with her Ann? 1 never heard of such q thing. Monday sine ate all the chicken left from Sunday and now this!"
 She's growing so fast. Cissy. She's so thin--away under weight. We should be glaH she isn't diet ing, like 50 many silly girls arc nowadays. We can't ask her not to eat. Poor baby--she has little enough"
 "That," said Cecily, "sounds like Grand and Rosalie in chorus. vide plenty of food for her. She could lunch on bread and butter and sugar--as we used to. I'll ask her to stop coming home early and eating the family dinner every evening. I'll ask her right enough. She makes n little pig of herself that's what she does. The ideal"
 Ann took her arm from Cecily's shoulder and walked some 20-odd feet across the kitchen and opened q cupboard door. You're mean" she said. Tt isn't my fault that Mary Frances ate the dinner, 1t 1t?
 q didn't say 1t was your fault" Ceclly answered, and wondered why there wasn't something amus- ing about Mary -Frances's having eaten the dinner. and wished Ann would stop pushing cans about on that shelf

 You will find dried fruit of any variety an ever.present help when economy must be given first con- sideration in planning meals. Ade- quate nourishment at 0 minimum cost as well as increased palatable- ness is supplied by the clever use of raisins, dates, prunes. figs, april cots and the rest of the dried fruit family.
 Isaisins especially are easy to use because they require no pre- liminary soaking as do most of the other dried fruits. An excellent source of natural sugar. their sweetness decreases the amount of sugar usually called for in a re- cipe. They add much to the diet in other ways. increasing the pal stability of many plain dishes and furnishing iron to high degree. Their calorlc value, being almost 100 calories per ounce, is also im- portant. One-fourth cup raisins weighs II ounces and supplies 3 calories of protein. 9 of fat and SS of carbohydrates.
 Most of us use raislns and dates In buildings but do you know that hot boiled beets gain interest and provide extra nourishment If served with Il sauce to which ral- sins have been added? The small seedless raisins are delicious in either a lemon or orange sauce.
 The flavor of Hamburg steak Is greatly improved by the addition of a few ralsins. Chop raisins flne- ly and work well with meat. AL though the protein content of raj sins is much lower than that of beef, their iron content compares favorably and they are inexpensive and highly nutritious.
 Other meats beside beef are mare more appetizing if combined with raisins. Raisin sauce with ham is traditional but seeded or seedless raisins simply can be sprinkled over the ham while bak- ing with excellent effect. Hot boiled tongue with raisin sauce, baked stuffed heart with raisin sauce and praised liver with raisin sauce are inexpensive and worth while meat dishes that owe much of their popularity to the sauce.
 Bread buildings and rice pud- dings become a means of adding iron to the diet when raisins or dates are included in their com position.
 Many salads are made more ap- petizing and nourishing by the ad- dition of dried fruits. Raisins add ed to raw vegetables salad and fruit salads increase their food values. Prunes are good with a cabbage salad and are often com- bined with cream or cottage cheese | and nuts. Dates make delicate | salad stuffed with cream cheese | and nuts and served with French | dressing made with orange juice.
 The next time you serve rice in | place of potatoes, try the follow ing raisin sauce.

That old 5 She hated it worse than ever.
 Both teacher and mother ceased their efforts finally. Dorothy was n queer child. They gave 1t up.
 Then one bright day, the child went to kindergarten and the city drawing teacher had put the ten numbers on the blackboard in fancy dresses. And there was all in pink and blue with roses tackled into it.--a perfectly beautiful 5! And that day they had coins to learn the names of. A penny was brown. of course. and Miss Gates counted out ones, twos, three, fours and fves with brown pennies.
 But when she came to five she held up q new shining nickel. "Five doesn't like to be brown" she said brightly. "it's sort of proud, so 1t runs off and gets a new shining dress like this"
 oh, so nickel" was five cents. A nice nickel that she liked so well.
 Suddenly she decided to make q lot of 5's, but nobody ever knew why.
 This little episode Is a deep study in associated ideas that lead to obscssions. A thousand lessons may be learned from 1t.

Dorothy goes to kindergarten. She hates one color--brown--be- cause she had n brown dress once.
 That brown dress had a history. Like some of our own clothes 1t had q habit of getting into trouble the evening dress that always gets the soup spilled over 1t, or the fur coat that invariably gets the chew ing-gum on the seat in the movies
 Only, Dorothy's brown dress was associated with deeper tragedies Once she fell and got blood all over 1t; another time she was spanked when she had it on; the day she got lost of course 1t was the brown dress that got lost with her.
 So she hated tho dress and con. sequently everything brown.
 But her kindergarten teacher didn't know this, neither did her mother. And Dorothy being only a little girl five years old didn't think about mentioning 1t, if she thought at all.
 Miss Gates was trying to teach tnc tHlluTcIl HulIlbeTS Dy uSiflS ht- tie Golorcd balls on q frame "Ones were red. "twos" were blue, "threes' yellow. "fours green, and lives wcre---brown Five little brown balls were five. that was that. Day after day the children were shown what 1t wat all about.

a DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

THE month of April brought lot
Il OF new books into existence.
Some Of them were pretty good
and some Of them were pretty bad:
but now that the month has ended.
it isn't bad idea to glance back
and see which ones seem, on the
whole. to be the best.
Picking a list Of best books" is a
sure way of starting an argument,
of course. But after all, none of
you really can get at me-so here
goes a list of the five books which
seemed to me the best ones issued
during April.
Bright Skin" This story of life
among illiterate Negroes in a south
ern swamp IS told with fine SYM
pathy and deep appreciation of
the bright lights and deep shadows
that simple lives can contain. The
entire year will not bring many
better books than this one.
Then there is "A Glastonbury Ro-
nance" by John Ccwper Powys.
Here Is an involved novel enriched
by deep mysticism and exceptional
skill at character drawing. It's hard
to read. but it's abundantly worth
reading.
The Life of Emerson" by Van
Wyck Brooks. also deserves a place.
It isn't quite the book it could have
been but it does provide a fasci-
mating introduction to one of Amer
ica's greatest literary figures.
In the field of poetry, there's
"Conquistador, by Archibald Mac
Leish. Mr. MacLeish has told the
story of the Mexican conquest in a
free-swinging, imaginative poem
that will stand a good deal of re-
reading.
Lastly, there's It, James Lewis"
by Gilbert Gabriel. This novel of
the Astor expedition to the Colum-
bia river in 1911 is the romantic
adventure story as it ought to be,
but seldom is. written.
There, then, is a list of some of
April's best. If you haven't read
them, you've missed some worth
while reading.
