Q letter from Arlene. She read ex cerpts from 1t to Dick that even ing. roadster" Arlene had written. ". didn't want him tc at first because --weli, you know. But he insisti he stopped drinking the night ht met me at Freda's party and hasni touched liquor since. He says am more inspiration to him than tho best gln on the market. Anyhow he brought mo huge box of ehoc. plates too, and there's always q let- ter in the morning mall.
 "I love it hero! leaG the stair case choir every morning after breakfast and now I'm working ur m act for stunt Night.
 Thanks for the books you sent For the first time in my life I have enough time to read. I'm leaving in Q moment for my morning swim. Glve my love to Mona ."
 Eve stopped reading and said, sam must be glad Arlene is where she won't meet anyone to give him competition"
 You old romanticlst!" Dick challenged.
 Well it's e neat little triangle Just the same. Sam likes Arlene and Arlene likes George Bliss. I'm not sure who Bliss cares for"
 "And like you and you'll have to pay for looking as sweet as you dol" Dick told her. gathering her into his arms.
 But their life together was not always SO peaceful. There was the evening when Eve, looking up from Q magazine, exclaimed. "Dlck. l don't know why you have to keep pufiing at that old pipe all the time! That's the fifth time you've filled 1t since came home"
 "Wrong! It's the sixth" he told her cheerfully, knocking the ashes into low brass bowl.
 1T think you smoke too much" Eve went on in n petulant voice. Worried about my health dear?"
 "No. I'm thinking how much it costs!" she blurtcd out. Smoking is m expensive habit. You aren't working and yet you smoke just as much as ever"
 "When a man isn't working ht needs recreation moro than ever And take my exercise smoking, he leased.
 "oh, you're imposslble!" Eve cried as sho flung herself Into lounging chair.
 "sce here, Eve!" Dick said firm. ly. "When I'm working stow away all the shekels can spare and when hard times come around I guess I can still afford to smoke If I feel liko it!'
 He arose abruptly and q moment later the outer door slammed. (To Be Continued)

| Kenneth Corbett raised his eyes and looked at Sue, at last. It seemed to her that there was Q ra- pier thrust in thom--that he want ed to cut away a veil, to look too deeply.
 Hadn't we better talk about the work for today?" she asked in m effort to change the conversation and send 1t down a safer road.
 Tt will wait," he answered quietly.
 "But it's late--nearly nine- thirty"
 Corbett stood up them Sue thought of the melodramatic mon of the cinema who staged perfect scenes. Scenes as studied and hs allkeN as two cherries on the same bright green tree. He came over to her chair and almost roughly reached for her arms and pinned them.
 Let's stop this nonsense, Sue, After all, you're grown up; you're a woman" He was breathing heavily now. Let's cut 1t out" T don't know what you mean" The old subterfuge, Sue reflected. But there was nothing else she could think of just then that could be said.
 You know love you--you know l have from the start. Oh, my God, girl, cant you tell when q mans In love with you? Can't you see what you've done to me 7"
 1t was good line-to try on q girl who didn't know how to sep- ta RA1A a Fourth avenue address from the Park avenue one. 1t was m old line. And the man was probably sincere at the moment of his ut- tering 1t. Sinccfe then, though he may not have meant 1t yesterday and would forget 1t by tomorrow.
 I'm not aware that I've done anything to you" Sue answered coolly. T haven't attempted to. Please let mo go. I'm hungry and l need my hands"
 She wasn't hungry. The vanilla waffles and the crisp bacon. under the covers of the silver turecns, could grow soggy and cold before she could touch them.
 You mean that l don't mean anything to you?" Corbott asked. but ho released her arms. There was amazement in his voice. Dis- belief at her words. Supreme ego. tism which refused to admit that he had not awakened in her the same emotions that she had aroused In him.
 "You have been a nice employer and a lovely person to have us Il friend. But that's all" She made herself pour syrup on Q waffle but she couldn't eat 1t.
 Corbett'g face was an angry rcd. He put his hands on her shoulders and shook her Q little. You'll pay for this-you'li-But you don't mean 1t. Yon're just afraid of your husband, just afraid to yield to what you really feel"
 But I don't feel anything" Sue managed to answer, trying to re- lease herself.
 "I feel disgusted. Does that hclp?" shc even smiled.
 No! You're afraid to be honest, to yield to c decent emotion. Oh, l know your kind of woman! Your life isn't your own. Why don't you do what you want to with 1t. ."
 But am doing what want to- Let me go. Or I'll scream. I'll yell and-".
 "No, you won't, my dear. No one would believe you. Why did you come along, anyway? Tell me that!"
 "Why-because you needed a secretary" Sue answered, slow wonder coming into her eyes.
 Corbett began to laugh. It was a diaboiic laugh. Harsh and sneer- ing.

The four weeks of July dragged on as though they were four months. Eve had never minded working during the summer< but this year her discomfort was chiefly due to the fact that she was work ing while her husband was not.
 Once she suggested that Dick might look for work and he gave her q whitening glance. However, he cheerfully did tho homework continued to drive her to the office and call for her at the end of the day. once each week he took her to some resort along the lake for n short dinner. They usually tin- ished the evening with a swim In the lake or dance or two before the long ride home.
 Eve was glad that Dorothy Me- Elhinney was spending the sum- mer with her parents out of town. At least Dick would be free from her persistent wiles. Miss Leeds was on a European tour and Eve missed her. The cards which she sent from Switzerland and Italy awakened In Eve q strong desire for such trip.
 II suppose we'll never be able to go to Europe together" Eve mur. mured discontontedly.
 "Why not?" asked Dick.
 Look nt all the money we are ioslngW sNe pointed out. "Tho sal- ary you might have earned this summer would have covered such a trip for us."
 "Ycs, and it might have made a down payment on the Empire State building" Dick answered. But I'm not sure that Is just what l would have done with it!"
 Thus he answered each of Eyes gibes concerning his lack of em- ployment.
 According to the policy of Blk by's store. Mona Allen and Mrs Penney did not receive vacatio because they had worked there less than Q year. Arlene departed for two weeks at q '. W. c. A. camp.

HOME BEST FOR
 HAY FEVERITES

Harrisburg, Pa. (UP) - Hay fever sufferers, who have asked the state department of health to recommend localities where they may go to escape their dis comfort, are advised to remain at home."
 pr J. Bruce McCreary, deputy secretary of health, advises vic- tims to consult their physician in order that he may make care- full study of the particular polens to which each is susceptible.
 Ut is possible to determine by testing the patient" pr McCreary said, "just what pollens cause his trouble and afterwards to treat him with preparations made from those pollens. Such treat ment diminishes, or removes, the susceptibility. To be of value. however. the inquiry into the cause and the application of treatment always should be un- dertaken weeks prior to the hay fever season, that the victims re- sistance may be built up.
 'In some instances 1t may be necessary to repeat this proced- ure more than once during the season. Its value has been well established in many cases"

YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Bsrton
6lss5 5Y Nfz sikHIes. aSIl.

Tn many ways the rotary system in schools is better than the old way of one teacher to a room. There Is no doubt that Q teacher giving all her time to one subject becomes more proficient in 1t. It Is a day of specialization and we have carried 1t into education.
 It has been the rule in high schools since tho beginning, but educators have recently discovered that what was true of Latin is also true of grammar, and 1t Is as necessary to have . specialist propound the principles of arith- metic as of algebra.
 But down in the first and sec- ond grades, sometimes wonder if 1t is the best plan, after all.
 A teacher herself told me Of its drawbacks. She had been . first. grade teacher of high quality, as l happen to know, for several years, Then the new order was put into effect and she found herself facing e now roomful of strained little faces every half hour or, so, to teach writing.
 Need One Persons Care
 "They seem so gewildered," she said. Half of them don't seem to know what it's oil about. They are new to school and school ways, and what they need Is to feel al home and have a little inothering.
 with little children" she said, s'lt Is this note of sympathy, the honey feeling that teacher sort ot takes the place of mother, that counts. Association of ideas means much to e little child. He likes his own little desk and seat, his little niche in the room. The other children are part of the family He Is interested in his teacher and he knows she is interested in him. Hc counts. He is decidedly some- body.
 "But this other way he doesn'. seem to belong anywhere. No ono seems to be especially concerned about him. He crowds along the hall with the rest of the children from one room to another and he seems dazcd. So much fussing, so much changing, just one of b0 like so many little lambs going places that don't mean anything much to them."
 Tn some scnoolS the process lt reversed and tho teachers go from room to room. But 1t seems to >me
 older Children Like Change the feelings of these little folk must be much the same. They don't belong to anyone.
 In any case, wonder if they are capable of this quick transi- ton? Under the system do they have the happy comfortable feel ing of little chicks unde Q moth- ers' wing, or arc they more like incubator peeps unattached and al- most communlstic?
 With children little older 1t 's different. They like the change of position and the interest of having different teachers. They seem to get along very well. They are fur ther away from babyhood. \ My impression of good first grade teacher has always been ono who has a good bit of mother about her. And thls friends of mine says it's hers, too. And she knows If any ono does.
 Maybe 1t Is good for them to be SO suddenly thrown on their own responsibility. The new idea stresses self-reiianee. But with certain type of child isn't there danger of his learning to hate school forever?

 When tho chowdcr must stand for some time between servings it's e good Idea to add an egg 70 each individual portion as It if served.
 Canned Pumpkin
 If you use canned pumpkin, cook 1t over a low fire until per- fcctiy dry:~. Fresh pumpkin can be baked, steamed or stewed un- tii tender and dry. Baking Is per- haps the simplest method because the pumpkin is merely cut In halves, seeds removed and baked, cut side down in dripping pan until tender. Then scrape from shell and force through ricer or colander.
 TO rtew pumpkin. wash and cut in narrow strips. Remove seeds and pare off yellow shell. Cut in cubes and put into heavy alumi. nun or iron kettle. Add just enough water to prevent burning before pumpkin begins to cook Cover and cook over good fire until pumpkin is tnder. Then re. move cover and cook slowly until pumpkin is dry. It takes i've or six hours to stew a pumpkin. When dry. force through q colnn- der or ricer.

CHAPTER xXXI


 June's roses had faded and Mrs Brooks garden took on slightly marched and neglected look. The Brooks boys were away for the summer, working in tho kitchen of d lakeside camp. Hence the en- tire care of the place fell on Mrs Brooks, who seemed in need of Q rest.
 Dick noticed this and made 1t a habit to sprinkle the lawn once a day. either at runrise or after sum set, He never wakened Eve until he had prepared breakfast and he Insisted upon relieving her of all details of the housekeeping.
 "Why not?" he asked. Its bad enough to have you cooped up all day in an office. You need all the time out-of-doors VIC can possibly manage. Besides, I haven't any thing else to do,"
 He took her to the office in the yellow roadster and Eve found him waiting at the side entrance or Rlxby's at the close of each day. Dick never seemed to mind the mileage and usually took her home the longest way, driving along the lake until they were forced to cut across town. That cool drive was a blessing during the July heat which settled in sultry monotony over the city.
 Eve looked forward eagerly to her vacation but found she must walt until August for it Despite all Dick did to make things easior for her she could not suppress Q feeling of vexation when he put his golf clubs in tho car and drove on to the links after leaving her at Bixby's. Earle Barnes usually lett the store early two afternoons each week for q foursome of golf with some advertising men but Eve, who had enjoyed herself playing Tn other years, found herself unable 10 leave the office during the day and too tired for such exertion af- ter business hours. More and more responsibility fell to her lot as Barnes found her trustworthy and thus relieved himself of additional burdens. one morning. . -
 Eve answered bitterly, "oh. he's busy! Busy playing golf and soil. taire and reading technical stun
 "Why, Eve, don't you love him any more? asked Arlene in mock
 "of course" Eve replied. but it's so stuffy in this office right now and it's SO nice out-of-doors. Any way men get all the breaks!" She swallowed a lump In her throat
 Arlene reminded her. but Dick doesn't want you to keep on work ing" ,,
 "Tm going to just the same" Eve announced firmly. I'm going to find out what it's like to be an advertising manager--and don't you forget it!'
 Mona came in then and the con- yersation was dropped.
 That night Eve found new treiiis decorating the porch. Dick had made 1t. She went with him to the garage whero he showed her a pergola for tho garden and more trellis work for tho other porehes.
 "Why Dick" she said, those are lovely! Why don't you make these to sell ?"
 Dicks only reply was look of forbearance. ing some money" Eve persisted. He merely looked at her again ana this time Eve felt rather uncom- fortable. u

 Supplying Bulk
 Keep in mind the necessity Of serving with chodwer some other food that will supply bulk and crispness. Toast sticks, croutons or toasted crackers arc a good choice. Radishes and celery arc good crisp foods. too.
 A simple salad Is suitable. pro- viding a dessert hearty enough to take care of the necessary calories is served.
