Barclay laughed, dug into his
pocket and produced a passport
which he Tipped toward her. 1t

Steven Barclay.

suite" he explained, deeply pleas
ed. That's why I was so long
reaching here. 1t took quite a while
to persuade Lord Somebody or
other he didn't want it,
"Oh, what fun!" breathed Ell
len, conjuring up a vision of her
self stretched in steamer chair,
lazily, watching the sparkle of
blue waves and the leaping, curv-
ing bodies of dolphins sporting in
the sunshine.
"How would you like it If Bert
and Myra were married with us?"
Zine idea," he responded alb
sently.
There was something more he
wanted to- say and he did not know
how to say it. After a moment he
cleared his throat and began:
ELLEN, did you plan big we'd
ding? 1 mean did you think Of
having it here with all the neigh
bors in 2"
Ellen looked surprised.
Getting nervous?" she de-
manded mischievously. Then see
ing that he was not diverted she
continued soberly, II really hadn't
thought about it. There's no one
I want to have with me except

Steven said abruptly. more than
that, my dear, I must explain to
you my reasons"

"I just couldn't wait to come
back" Sally greeted me. You
promised to tell me about PLAN
ming basic colors and variations for
my spring wardrobe. I've been
thinking out all sorts Of lovely
things"
"Have you picked your basic col
or YETI" I asked.
"No-o-o, not yet, although I'll
have to, / suppose. You know, l
adore green, but then SO many of
the fashion forecasts say that 1t is
going to be national blue and
navy-blue spring."
$50 they did," / commented,
until the spring openings at the
big dressmaking houses in Paris
came out with all kinds Of varia-
tions in beige. Beige has simply
swept Paris. It's such fascinat-
ing color, and its many tone va
rieties make it adaptable to such
variety of color types--but 1t
makes makeup doubly import
ant"
"Yes, indeed, I know what you
mean. The olive type can choose
rosey beige, an ash blonde q
paler, more grayish beige and so
on. oh, aren't colors fun to play
WITH"
The most fascinating thing in
the world, I assured Sally. for in
thirty years have never tired OF
their charm.
"But let's suppose" said, "That
the first fashion forecasts are right
and that navy blue is springs col
or. It's practical one and be-
coming to so many people"
I always think Of blue as
blondes color" objected Sally.
mot at ALL" I said. "a blonde
can use the darker blues as her
theme song, so to speak, and
choose her variations in the COO
realms of lighter blue, especially
the cadet blue and other gray
blues. Now, you, with your light

with the royal to navy blues and
lead your steps into warmer. con-

"And then the variations In

asked Sally.
"Still your theme song with va

are just a matter of light or a

Your
CHILDREN
--CHILD'S SAFETY
By Olive Roberts Barton
Oiosa On NEA SERVICE iNS

-CHILD'S SAFETY
The hearts of American mothers
are heavy these days as write. I
pray from the bottom of my heart
that before these words go to press
the agony of mind we are all ex-
periencing from those two young
parents in New Jersey may be
lightened by good news about their
baby.
Naturally, every woman has
taken extra precaution about her
children recently, but believe
there are a few things children
should have deeply impressed on
their minds when they are old
enough to understand, not only In
the present time of emotional cri-
sis, but at all times.
Tell them never under any cir
cumstances TO get into a car with
people whom they do not know,
with pretty ladies or shoddy f1iv-
yer with an unshaven man.
Never Go With Strangers
Tell them never to leave the
schoolhouse with a stranger, even
from you. The principal and teach.
| err must be satisfied that any word
! from you Is bona fide before the
child is allowed to leave the build
ing at all during class hours.
Tell your children never to GO
with q stranger on the street who
promises them something nice, not
even block away.
Occasionally child is lost, be-
ing separated from his mother in
a crowded street or store, or by
wandering around too many cor
ners in his play hours. Every
child should be rehearsed in telling
his name and address as soon as
he is capable Of remembering. His
name Is no more important than
his address. So, "Where do you
live?" over and over and get the
correct reply.
Here is another word to mothers.
I should not park the baby's cart
outside store or in vestibule
while you shop, with the baby in
1t, unless he is where you can see
him. This last piece Of advice Is
given for reasons of general safe
ty-so many things can happen.
And never leave the house with
little children alone in 1t. This Is
too common a custom, I fear. It
Is hazardous in every way; fire. ac-
cidents-any of a dozen things
may happen. Don't safeguard the
children against kidnapping and for
get these other things.

CARE OF LINENS

Every housewife takes infinite
pride in her household linens,
but the lifelong beauty of all
linen Is dependent on its care. Cor
rect methods of washing and IRON
ing are vastly important. Careless
handling and harsh soap solutions
are often responsible for lack
luster linens. Strong alkali soaps
and bleaching mixtures destroy the
natural luster of linen and the
heavy satin texture of damask.
Choose pure mild soap and
wash linens in heavy suds, Squeez-
ing the sudsy water through the
fabric rather than rubbing. Few
roughens the fine fiber and short
laundresses realize that rubbing
ems the life of all linen. Linen nat
not hold the dirt in the obstinate
urally washes easily since 1t does
fashion characteristic of cotton.
Use very little bluing in the last
rinse water for linens. Linen abb
than do cotton fabrics.
Never starch linen. This applies
to all household linens. Linen pos
sesses q natural sheen and body
that does not require the addition
of starch.
The final finished beauty of dam
ask lies in the care with which 1t
is ironed. 1t must be quite damp
and ironing must be continued un-
til it Is perfectly dry, ironing on
the wrong side first and then on
the right. and working from sell
wage to selvage. This will gain the
highest possible luster and body.
Patience Is Requisite
Many women make the mistake
of not ironing their damask dry
enough and not having 1t damp
enough to begin with. Too hot an
iron Is another common fault. It
takes time, patience and delight
in the finished article to iron dam
ask.
Chocolate stains are hard to re-
move If you don't know how. and
ordinary washing may "set" the
stain so it's almost impossible to
romve it. First sprinkle the
stain with powdered borax and
soak in cold water for twenty min
utes. Then strech over a bowl and
pour boiling water through it.
Egg stains should be washed in
cold water until they completely
disappear.
Candle wax can be removed from
table linens by placing a clean
blotter over the spot and pressing
with a hot iron. Slip the blotter
often-to keep a fresh place over the
spot.

different from Bert's and mine"
Myra went on. you'll have lots
of things we won't have for years
and may never have. You may be
tempted to give US things we can't

different. Mrs Stanley is here be-
cause of you--not because of me.
Mother and Mike, of course, are
different. But Bert and l are young
and strong. We don't want things
made easy for us!"
1t was then that Ellen felt the
wrench of pain. Until then 1t had
not occurred to her that Myra
would not have the same things
she would have and share the same
pleasures. Myra certainly was en-
titled to her pride. In that instant
Ellen seemed to feel their lives slip
ping apart"
But surely" she persisted. her
lips quivering suspiciously, when
Steven and l come back from Eu-
rope you won't be too proud to stay
with me sometimes"
"Of course not, silly!"
Even with her sisters arm
around her Ellen continued to feel
a sense Of loneliness; queer pre-
monition that something was about
to tear her away from old familiar
things. She did not want that to
, happen.
At the hospital the two girls
found Mike as active GONZALES
cent as his heavy plaster casts
would permit. Ellen left Myra
there and returned alone to the
apartment. The conversation Of
the morning still fingered in her
ly. Surely she was not marrying
Steven for money or the things
she thought he would do for her
family. Surely she was not SO
unfair as to love him less because
she had discovered 1t would be
impossible for her to give her
sister the luxuries she herself was
to have. Ellen climbed the stairs
feeling discouraged.
Steven was waiting for her In
the apartment. When she saw him
everything seemed all right again.
She liked him so much that in time
she was sure she would come to
love him. When he kissed her there
was nothing lacking in his kiss be-
cause she had determined to find
nothing lacking.
She gave him an amusing ac-
count of the morning and he con-
fessed that for 80 years Mrs
Stanley had ordered him around
exactly as she had ordered Ellen.
That was all right" Ellen

YOURSELF
A HEAD OF STYLE
BY Alicia Hart

There has been much talk Of
wigs with lacquered curls for
spring coiffures.
Whether or not you ever take to
one of these wigs, they have haa
a tremendous influence on the
vogue.
Well arranged curls that stay In
place are the style of the moment.
If YOU are one of those fly-away
pixies, with curls blowing all over
your head as If you had done them
with an egg beaten, don't be too
dissatisfied. The vogue has
moved on and left you behine,
whether YOU know 1t or not.

woman to conform absolutely to a
given popular couture. There isn't
one that is becoming to everybody.
lying current 81 style that ex-
presses itself this way or that and
whether you conform perfectly or
not, 1t Is a good thing to know
what it Is all about.
"Sculptured heads" Is what 1t Is
all about this spring. You know
how exquisitely in place the curls
stay on lovely statue!
Most women have too much mar
to wear tightly curled coiffures.
There is no law against having
your hair thinned a little, how
ever.
For an unusual couture, part
your hair either in the center or
at one side, and continue the part
from the forehead to the nape Of
the neck. Have your hair waved
gently and curl all the ends, clear
down to the nape of your neck.
This is a charming couture for new
spring chiffon evening dresses-a
dainty, alluring couture. Incident
ally, it is an exceedingly young
one.

ly good for black or dark brown
hair that is not curly, consists Of

Printed crepe silk in navy and

It's a dress that is extrmely flat

The crossed bodice and the plaits

her memory is an incident which
occurred shortly after her mar
riage to Harry Bannister.
Crime and Punishment
1t seems that she and Harry
were to be guests of honor at a
dinner given by friend. AS both
were appearing in shows at the
time, it was necessary for the din
ncr to be an early one. This fact
was impressed upon all the other
guests by the hostess.
That afternoon the Bannisters
went shopping and returned to
their hotel about S o'clock. AS they
were tired and hungry they decid-
ed to have dinner sent UP to their
room.
Just as they were finishing their
after dinner coffee, Ann suddenly
recalled their engagement. Rather
than spoil the party, they dressed
frantically and arrived almost on
time. The dinner was an elabor-
ate one with many courses.
",And," said Ann, ''as a punish
ment for my forgetfulness Harry
insisted almost to the point OF
