 Tom is frequently away in the evening and Gypsy suspects he is interested in VERA GRAY, who works i'm the same office. One day she secs them going to lunch together. She Is heart broken and refuses to listen to his cx- plantations.
 Lila confesses to Gypsy that she intends to divorce Derck and marry MARKO BROUGHTON, richer and older.
 Gypsy's father is seriously in- jured in a motor accident. For several days his life hangs in the balance. Then he recovers. Gyp- sy resolves to forget her jealousy of Vera Gray. However, Vera continues to pursue Tom. CHAPTER XXXVI
 Elsa came back to work on her old schedule and, with the sud- denness of a butterfly released from it's nest, Gypsy began to rush about whenever she was free. David was in good hands when Elsa was pres ent. He and the clumsy but gentle fingered maid understood each other and Gypsy could play with an easy mind. This was what she needed, she told herself, what she had been wanting.
 She had known a gay. irrespon- sible crowd in her pre-marital days She went back to them now. She went to cocktail parties in Green. wieh Village. exhibitions of mod ern paintings. motion picture showings to the inner circle. She bought some new clothes and had new. daring hair cut, In many ways she was the gay, pleasure lov. ing girl she had been before hel marriage. She laughed great deal.

Cosmeticians believe there is' room for improvement. A few
 days ago there appeared a new manicure accessory which removes nail polish and oils the cuticle at the same time. And now comes a
 new lipstick.
 It's an intelligent cross between lip dye and the ubiquitous grease paint lipstick. It stay on as long as a dye and looks smooth and
 velvety. Furthermore, it feels good on the lips.
 Dry your lips before you apply 1t. Then smooth it on, toning down rough edges with the tip of your little finger. and allow it to dry before moistening the lips. If you put it on carefully and with an eye constantly on the natural contour of your mouth, even your own mother won't know that you
 are -sticked.
 By the way, you need no longer

 "Well," she told him slowly, "Tve ben so mad at you, once or twice. I've been on the verge of suggest ing it myself" "Rot!" "No, but seriously" Gypsy said, | luxuriating in her own sense of security. What could 8 man or woman do if the other person Tn | the case came to him and said Look, I want to be free!" Tom shrugged.

Let's stop talking nonsense Tom advised with yawn. | Gypsy thought of the conversa- ton later that night. Such things | did happen, and to people they Knew, too.

Delicious Desserts Made With
 Eggs
 TO BY SISTER MARY NEA Service staff Writer

When meat is off the menu des- serts made with eggs are most acceptable. Such deserts are high in food value and contribute pro- tein to a marked degree. It is only when the dinner is light in food value that a pudding rich in milk and eggs is suitable.
 Custard pie is universal favor- itc, but baked custards are rather more desirable when they are small children in the family. The same variety in flavor can be achieved in the baked custard as in the custard pie.
 A perfectly made caramel GUS tard is one of the most delicious desserts in the cooks repertoire and in a season. when eggs are cheap she certainly is Justified in serving it often.
 Caramel Custard
 Two cups milk, 3 eggs, 3-4 cup sugar, IA teaspoon salt, IA tea spoon vanilla.
 Scald milk. Melt sugar in an iron frying pan until light brown syrup. Stir sugar constantly while melting. Pour about half the cara mel into the pudding mould, turn ing mold rapidly to coat entire surface. Add scalded milk to re- stiff until melted. Remove at once from the fire and gradually add to eggs slightly beaten. Add salt and vanilla and pour into prepared mold.
 Place mold in a pan of hot wa ter and bake in a moderate oven. Be sure that the water does not boil during the baking. Test by inserting the point of silver knife in the center of the custard. If the knife comes out clean the custard is done. It takes about 50 minutes to bake a large GUS tard. Individual custards will bake in 30 minutes.
 When the custard is cold un- mold onto q chilled serving dish. The caramel will run down over the mold and form a sauce around it.

she would sit, drumming her I fingers, trying to decide whether or l not she could make that particular tea or whether Elsa could be per suaded to stay late again.
 1 Tom said he approved of. the change, although sometimes you caught a puzzled light in his eyes. l This chameleon, this flushed, dark haired young person in the we'll | cut gray suit was curiously unlike the discouraged. pallid girl who had complained last winter Of the routine of dishes, bottles and maps. | Since Gypsy's return she hadn't | said single word about their old difficulties. She had behaved as though nothing had ever happened l to disturb her placidity. He didn't | quite understand the change but he was grateful for it.
 | Manlike, he was interested in and | attracted by the tranformation. Of l course Gypsy was his girl--his wife no matter how she looked nor what she did to herself. But, all though he approved her gayety and spirit in theory, sometimes he 1 missed the old Gypsy with her ser | ious talk of budgets and cheap cuts and her adorable frown over the laundry list This girl was far too busy to bother with laundry lists. l There were buttons missing from | Toms things nowadays and his | brown and blue socks had holes in the toes. Often he came home Tn the evening to find her still away and Elsa muttering over the pots l and pans, anxious to put on her big shapeless hat and remove herself | to that mysterious realm rom 1 which she would emerge the next working day.
 Tom would be left to give David his bottle. Presently Gypsy would flash in with gardenia at her throat and the scent of cigarets clinging to her cool, fresh cheek.
 Sorry, darling. l had no iuea II was so late. ROnny Burgess had a Russian violinist and It was so thrilling!'
 She would tie big apron over her sheer black frock with its frilly collar. Smiling still over the after noon, she would serve Tom cold ham and potato chips .and salad, She seldom bothered to cook much now. For one thing, the weather was growing warmer. For another, she hadn't the time and Elsa was I most indifferent chef. Besides Tom didn't care. He used to be bored, she thought now. with all those fancy messes she had prepared for him. That was little bride stuff!
 Well, she had got bravely over that phase.
 It was thrilling-it was exhilirat- ing to be received back into the old circle as an equal. At first peo- pie had openly patronized her. "How's the baby?' they had asked negligently. "How's motherhood? ?'
 But they had got past that now
 She was one of them. She had even joined a class in scultpure. one that met Tuesday afternoons, and 1t was she said, inspiring" It was queer but the prospect oi spending the summer in the apart mGnt didn't daunt her now. Last year she had beon unable to bear the very notion. But that had beer because of her condition. She fell

 The correspondent refers to a measles epidemic in her village last spring. Out of population of 1,299 there were 164 cases of measles reported. In due time the village health officer sent the will | lage Board his bill amounting to SPAS for "tacking up and taking down signs, as this correspondent | has it. Besides several families had bills of SIP and $15 for medi' cal services. A small matter con- pared with the health of the child, the lady observes, yet if the epi- demic could have been prevented why didn't the health officer do something about it?
 I wonder what Dr. Mayo or pr. O'Brien would have done about 1t. had either been health officer Of the village Or Dr. Arrowsmith ? The situation would require the best gifts of a doctor or congen- ial group of doctors who are in terested in humanity. Obviously the family doctor or the village hack would never get by. When the Sewing Circle meets to deal with d problem like that outside talent is absolutely essential to the success of the party.

Why The Doctors Stay Away
 A lady writes that she is inter- ested in public health work and the prevention of disease Sometimes, I fear, people inter- ested in public health work scarce ly associate it with the prevention of disease, especially our state and municipal health departments. and she resents my asser- tion that political graft and polit- ical patronage feature public health administration in Yankee land.
 The lady disarms me by admit | ting that she has received mucf | of her enlightenment from my col | umn, and she defies any one to say her motive is any other than the desire to be of service to the children and the people of her county.
 Aren't children people there? "Dr. Charles Mayo is state chair , man of our public health associa : tion," the lady goes on. Not one physician in our county comes to our public health meetings unless he is requested to, and then he grouches around for fear he will have to give some free informal tion. Thank goodness we have men like Dr. Mayo and Dr. O'Brien, who are interested in humanity more than in their own pocket books"
 So far we have been listening to d lady. Perhaps it would be as well to end the quotation here. If I were practicing In the cor

~Impulse.,' What does it mean [? B 1t . desire or an act?
 It Is both. It originates in the mind itself, seeks expression in doing, and results either in a feel ing of contentment, or disappoint- menf, dependent, upon whether or not it is permitted to be com pleted.
 A child conceives an idea, he wants to carry it out. The ma chinery of his mind is set in mo- tion full tilt and his body gets orders from it's master to finish it. Minds are tyrants and they don't willingly let go until they are sat- isfied.
 Impulse is an excellent pro- 1noter. It is also a parent. It fathers initiative. ambition and perseverance. This is why it is important for a parent to under stand the dangers of too much in- terference in Johnny's daily ex- periments that sometimes take him beyond the bounds of propri- ety, or what we consider proper.
 We hear so much about "frus- tration." And its companion .'in- terrupted impulse."
 Effect of Frustration
 Don't turn away because they have three syllables. The mean ing of each is easy to understand.
 A boy wants to build a shanty. He has been wanting to for year. His judgment tells him there is no real reason why he cant. He has tools, boards ,and a place for it. But he cannot get permission. He broods and dreams over it. The impulse has started, and his mind calls for satisfaction.
 He never gets permission. This h9 Illustration. In time he seems to forget the desire, even if he is not conscious of it. But his mind retains it somewhere tucked away in it's archives. And the disap- pointment colors his conduct. At first he is ill-humored and dis Obedient, but in time the apparent resentment loses its edge. It would seem as though all were right with the world again and with him. However, we now know that accumulated illustrations leave in their wake unhappy and even abnormal dispositions. The constantly frustrated child is sell dom happy and usually is cranky. The story is told.
 Illustrations applies to the sim plest things-a child can be frus- trated fifty times a day. Certainly he cannot be permitted everything, but 1t is best not to overdo. This explains much poor conduct
 As to Interruption" it means cutting off an impulse after the desire has been conceived and the act is partly finished.
 Concentration Affected
 Mary is deep in co1oring a paper doll dress with crayons. It is nearly finished and her interest is at top pitch. The collar and cuffs will look wonderful done in vel low. Her mother says impatiently Throw out that rubbish at once I'm cleaning"
 An accumulation of interrupted impulses has the same souring in- f1uence as Illustration. Moreover repeated experiences shatter the powers of concentration and per may wonder why Mary cannot stick to anything and finish it. Or even why her daughter never takes an interest in anything at all.
 Fest for living and trying and accomplishing lies in completed impulse. The basis is interest and interest Is at the root of all most everything that has ever been accomplished in the world. Some times we don't know it, but in one form or another it is there at work shaping our conduct and destinies

STYLE CHATS
WITH ALMA ARCHER

Lily Dache showed her huge new collection of spring hats to a group of fashionists and their escorts at Sunday night champagne party. The escorts, like is the custom in New York. were uncertain about what is an escorts costume for Sunday night parties, but the girls looked very well at the ringside. The escorts wore everything but sweaters ana caps. But we can let that die, be- cause the point of the story is the hats which interpreted themselves in an international lineup in key with the international refresh- ments. An umbrella a-mushroom- pasoda hat was the sensaton ana was synchronized with some very Far Eastern chow mein. A Russian Kakoschnick riding far off the forehead was provided the guests along with expensive caviar, and an early Puritan number palled in with the turkey. But the thing to write on your cuff is that your hat this spring may reflect any influence on the map, as long as it becomes you.
