Christmas cookies her mother had sent her. Kate Bayless' holiday baking took place early in Dccem- Der and she was generous with it.. Eve packed a box of candy with Q generous supply of the chocolate centered butter creams of which Dick was so fond. And in the sporting goods department of Blk by's she had found many articles of wearing apparel she felt would make his winter more comforta- ble. The card which Mrs Penney designed for her bore the message. "Chrstmas Love to Dick
 The Saturday night before Christmas she boarded the vest bound train which would carry her to her parents home q 12-hour ride distant. She felt she could not endure Christmas alone in Lake City although she knew she should have saved the money spent for railway fare to help pay her debts.
 The day before Christmas q tele- gram for Eve was delivered at Bixby's advertising office. Arlene signed for 1t.
 "Frcm Pine Forest, N. Y. no doubt" she said to Mrs Penney II suppose Eyes husband is wish ing her an extra Merry Christmas. He certainly is the answer to a maiden's prayer - and l don't see how Eve dares be so casual about him"
 Mrs Brooks expressed the same mas morning. The Rader doorbell had been ringing necessarily for many minutes before her own sounded. She hurried to see who her caller might be and opened the door to face Dick. who stood, hat in hand, with a worried look on his face. He all but ignored her Christmas greetings in his haste to ask about Eve.
 "Oh, I'm sorry!" Mrs Brooks hastened to explain. Mrs Rader left to spend Christmas with her parents. Didn't you know?"
 II must have missed her letter telling me she was going" Dick hastened to defend Eve. T was away from Pine Forest and didn't get my mail for q few days
 Mrs Brooks had key to the apartment which she gave Dick. After he had gone she shook her head mournfully. "The poor dear!" she said. "To come all that way for Christmas and then find nobody at home. I'll ask him to dinner"
 Dick found himself placed next to Dorothy McElhinney at the din- ner table. If he missed tho com panionship of his wife he suffered nothing from lack of solicitude. Miss McElhinney gave him her un- divided attention, engaging in a sprightly conversation and causing hi into laugh frequently, When tho dinner came to an end Dick lin gered in the pleasant living room of Mrs Brooks suite. Later when Miss McElhinEey noticed that he was becoming restless she sug l gested q walk and directed hh,

Sue didn't move after her first start of surprise. The man who had spoken to her was Kenneth Corr bett. His arm was in a sling. His waee was smiling. He was unde- niably good looking. Even hating him as she did, Sue had to admit that. He had charm.
 T came on the same train, [ believe" Corbett answered.
 Afraid might taM7" Sue asked. "But what are you doing here?"
 "f had to make an inspection of some of the apartments with my agent. He's in the kitchen. I happened to be hero when you came. don't believe you knew that this is my property. The landlord is with us, too. Here they come"
 The two men, not suspecting, came into the room and Corbett joined them, said goodbye, and left.
 Now why did he do that7" Sue asked herself. "This place is haunted. I'm getting out of it."
 She locked the door and ran down the steps, afraid to take the elevator for fear she might meet Corbett again.
 At the foot of the steps she hess itated. He might be waiting out- side. But he wasn't. Instead Cor rinne's long roadster was just drawing up. She honked the horn loudly.
 "Can you dodge the rain, sue?n was afraid you might need me-" once safe in the car Sue gave c rinne, I can't escape the man. He's everywhere. And he doesn't do anything. Hes just there! [ should think when a woman hates | a man he would have sense enough to know 1t and leave her alone" "Not that kind of . man." Corr rinne answered with more know | ing wisdom. He thinks he is ire resistible. He thinks you want to play his game but are afraid to. 1t just never entered his head that maybe you could hate him after the shooting frame-up and the breakfast scene. No, Sue, he thinks that some day you will laugh with him because once he had to pres tend that you shot him in order to attempt to prevent you from mak- ing a train. Was his arm still in 0 sling?"
 "Yes. He was shot. I saw the physician dressing the wound" | When Harry came to dinner at night, although the fire was bright again and tho candles shown softly across the creamy linen of the ta- blecloth, and the silver and glass, and the food was hot and fragrant, somehow Sue had lost the sense of merriment that had been q reac- ton from the events of tho night before, when the group had gath cred for breakfast.

 The knocker was falling against the door. When the trim maid came back tall figure followed her.

Known as | tho alligator pear, vegetable butter, midshipman' butter and butter pear, 1t varies decidedly in size. shape and color, inasmuch as there are over two hundred varieties grown. We use avacados in salads, huge success. .

 The Temple orange has 0 thin, smooth bright colored skin and Is n cross between the orange and the tangerine. It also peels easily and tastes like the tangerine. but Is firm in texture and juicy like tho orange.
 Another citrus fruit called the tangelo is a cross between a grape l fruit and Q tangerine. It Is much ! larger and lighter in color than q | tangerine but is eaten like a grape fruit with the worthy quality of be- ing squirtless.
 Plain Pastry for Pies
 There are several kinds of pas | try-plain, rich and puff or French. The average pie, however, Is made with plain pastry and the woman who masters this branch of pastry making can bc well satisfied. | A good bread flour makes a fiakier crust than pastry flour. Pastry flour makes a crumbly. ten- der crust. Of course, either va riety of flour can be used with satisfactory results.
 A good quality of shortening should be used, because this large Iy determines the flavor of the crust. Lard or vegetable fat is used as preferred.
 The proportion of fat and flour with the minimum amount Of wa ter is of great importance, but the method of mixing the ingredients also must be painstakingly observ- ] ed. The tendency to overmix the materials is usually the beginners worst fault. A pastry blender IS a decided help to the novice because 1t prevents the fat from warming and softening.
 Persimmons Popular

June 80, 1888, held by 39,267, 1873

high point of $28,478,631 900 es-
tablished in 1880, he said.
In the face of a population in
crease of 871,000 during the year
the number of savings depoSitors
suffered a reduction in their ranks
of 5,084,373, or lis per cent from
the previous year. The number
now stands at 39,267,733.
The year 1928 marked the top

NEWSECUR|T|ES
FEW|N MON TIL

New securities offered to the
public here in November, as in
the previous month, were few,
the number being about equally
divided between stocks and bonds.
The offerings of the latter type
of security are reported the
smallest since March, while stock
offerings exceeded the totals for
October and for November a year
ago.
The months total was $14,-
464, ZOO. of which $8,953 900 was
for six bond issues and $5,511, 900
for seven stock issues, compared
with $51, 300, 500 in october, when
bonds aggregated $49,807 900, rep
resenting 81 flotations, and stocks
amounted to $2,102,500 for three
offerings.
A year ago new financing made
a total of $76,43O,000, composed
of $74,63O,00O for 20 bond offer
ings and $1,80O,000 for one stock
issue.

GAINS FOUND

Wages still continue their up
ward course despite business re-
cessions, according to Investors
Syndicate's regular monthly Con-
sumers' Study. However, october
of this year shows a net gain of
but 34.3 per cent over that Of
last year as opposed to a gain
of 40 per cent which was re.
corded by September over the
same month of 1882.
Cost of living is, however, but
Us per cent over the correspond
ing period of a year ago, con
trary to popular superstition on
the subject. This index is now
mounting at the rate Of about
/ per cent a month, while last
year it was falling at about the
same rate.
Security investments for the
month are still well below the
levels of a year ago, but an en-
couraging gain over the preced
ing month is shown in an in
crease Of 118.1 per cent.
