Sylvia maliciously contrives to force Boots resignation from the Jun niors. HumiIiated. Boots with draws from the crowd. She goes about with RUSS LUND, the swimming instructor. Russ falls in love with her and announces he's going away. He bcgs Boots to cIope with him and she asks for time to think it over.
 Mrs Racburn returns from a visit and Boots drcadS having her mother hear about her resis. nation from the club. Out for an early morning walk. Boots meets DENNIS FENWAY, young author.
 CHAPTER XIV
 Boots swallowed hard. Denis F SnWdy III olu gray IldIlltlS "llIl a blackthorn stick in his hand barrasssed frankly at a loss. Boots was the more composed. She crumpled the damp ball that had been a handkerchief in her hand and smiled wanly at him.
 Don't pay any attention to me, she said quickly and lightly. Eve got the early morning blues. One of my Irish ancestors is stalking me to-day. We all like good cry, you know"
 Surprisingly. the young man sat down beside her, stretching his long legs out on the cobwebbed grass. starred and spangled With globules of dew.
 "Cry away" he said briefly, q have a good shoulder.'
 Boots put her handkerchief reso- lutely away in the pocket of her white woolly sweater and smiled again.
 "Oh, the showers over" she told him. Tt was nothing
 If this handsome indolent young man thought she was going to tell him her troubles he was vastly mis taken. Probably he would try to use her for-what did writers call it?-copy. He was going to be dis appointed if that was his aim.
 She threw him a side glance. How black, how absurdly long and sweeping his lashes were. over eyes of darkest blue, And how extra ordinarily tall he was. If he were mt so obviously self satisfied and conceited she might have liked him a little As it was she put on her usual mask of casual interest.
 T thought you'd gone back to California; she said by way of making conversation.
 He drew a pattern on the wet earth with the stick. Presently" he drawled.
 Boots flushed. If he thought she was interest ed--if he only remote ly knew how unimportant his comings and goinSs were to her! Sha began to scramble to her feet, feeling she hated this handsome. welldressed young man who Was so definitely certain of himself and his place in the world.
 He put out a lean brown hand to detain her. Even through her annoyance she was conscious of tho strength of those warm brown fingers with their well-cared- nails. their look of leashed power.
 ".Ah don't go!" he said, on a note of penitence. There l was thinking you'd talk to me for q minute. You're forever on the wiag!"

This is one of the mos. impor- tant questions l have ever discussed in this column. Dr Hornell Hart, of Hartford Theological Seminary, has shown that if the bride is under 20 the risk of unhappiness is three times as great as if she Is 25 or over. Marriage by a man before he is 25 is 2.2 as risky as after that age. Another research by Dr Kath- erine Bement Davis showed that 2.5 as many marriages of men un- der 25 went on the rocks as men over that age. Where both part ners are under 25 the risk is stih greater. While these students strongly emphasize that further re- search iS needed, these results are sufficient to give young people seri- ous thought.

PATOU SOLVES OFF-SEASON
 EVENING DRESS PROBLEM
Famous Style Creator Urges Chiffon And Ge0ygette aS Best
By JEAN PATOU

DARIS.-Early fall evening \ clothes, while they may seem very remote from the fashion picture just now, are nevertheless worthy of con- sideration and often offer a number of interesting charac- teristics.
 When contemplating ad- vance autumn styles, the first thing that your imagination sug. gests are day clothes. They belong to the essentially practical cate- gory in the mode, by their color ing, cut and fabric.
 Mid-season colors for evening as well as daytime, although some- what neutral, are in perfect har- mony with this intermediary pe- riod of fashions and clever combi- nations will often produce rela- lively gay ensembles as befits the season.
 Novelty Is Lacking
 In the same way, mid-season styles never manifest any startling novelty. Fabrics are devoid of any hint of fragility for the eve ming and lightweight woolens make up daytime clothes.
 While I admit the classical satin evening dress is a little premature at the outset of the fall season, one the other hand, too summery a note in coloring is equally out of place. The conclusion. there fore, is that the ideal evening dress to wear in this in-between period is made of semi-sheer fab. ric such as georgette, chiffon tai fetas or lace.
 Wrap Is Essential
 With a dress in either of these three mediums, there must neces- sarily be wrap to complement it. Here again the fur jacket or law ishly fur-trimmed wrap seems al- together too premature. Yet the need of a comfortable wrap is evil dent, as autumn nights can be de- cidedly chilly. We inevitably fall back on the light velvet 'wrap, either the long and trailing mod el or the shorter coat, with or

that person says his mind is "a "perfect blank" shows that it is not or he would not be aware of it's blankness. The fact that you can think of your own mental vacuum which you should do. frequently for your souls good-is proof that it is not vacuum. There is always at least enough left in your hea1 to make it rattle.
 3.-By and large yes, because most people are afraid without a leader they can trust. A great lead CT makes people feel things some, right. Even in small enterprises if nothing but picnic. or church supper people want leader somebody who will accept respon- ability. The greatest duty or de- mocracy-or any form of society-- is to discover the right leaders at the right time.

While blondes and fair girls are worrying about various ways to get rid of suntans, dark-compleX- toned women who do not tan or burn have their own post-vacation beauty problems, too. For, even though their skins may be quite ten to one that they're bothered with excessive dryness.
 Obviously, bleaching lotions are not going to help. Dry skins need preparations which tend to replace natural oils that have ben dried out by the sun. If your complexion comes in this category, get jar of nourshing cream. And learn to use it properly.
 At bedtime-after your skin has been thoroughly cleaned and patted with skin tonic-dip two out all the water and then put tissue cream on the pads.
 Follow Facial Muscles
 Beginning at the base of the throat, smooth the cream upward and outward to the hairline. Try to follow the facial muscles. They CeItOiHly HO HUI run III d SlIdiS lt line from nose to ears-yet many women go on applying cream in that all-wrong direction.
 Then take batter eff you don't own one, use fingertips) and, again using upward and outward strokes, pat the cream into your skin. Keep on batting until the cream is entirely melted and the skin feels warm and tingling. When you've finished. wipe off the excess, leaving a little cream around eyes and mouth, and go to bed.
 Repeat the treatment in the morning. However, before put ting on foundation lotion and other makeup, use skin tonic to remove every bit of the cream. NEXT: Home blcachcs are good

lima beans, in their pods or out, are the vegetable buy of the mo- ment. A heartier food than the green beans of summer. they add calories to the diet, the number depending upon how they are serv- ed. One-fourth cup-four level tablespoonsfuls-served lightly sea- soned with butter furnishes 100 calaries of protein, fat and carbhy- drates. One whole cup just four time as much, of string or green beans furnishes the same nourish- ment. The vitamin content of green beans is higher. though.
 You will probably find several va ket-tiny green ones, large green fat white ones. They all are good If gathered before the milk be- comes firm inside the tender she'll like covering. AS the beans ripen this covering grows hard and dit- hcult to digest and the smooth creamy center becomes dry and un- palatable. No matter how long the beans are cooked, these conditions cannot be altered nor the vegetable improved.
 uISS louSu DCHhS
 The best way to serve lima beans that have over-matured is to rub them through sieve after cook ing and use them in a puree or souffle. This removes the tough covering, but of course does not re- store the delicate flavor of the tender vegetable.
 The most delicious way to serve lima beans is in pure cream. When cream is used, no butter is needed so the seasoning isn't as extrava- gant as it sounds. One-half cup cream is seasoned with salt and pepper and added to two cups of cooked limas. Heat to the scald- ing point but do not boil. The cream coats the beans lightly and makes them delightfully."- moist. and smooth.
 Use Little Water
 Always cook limas in as little water as possible and cook uncov- cred. Let the water cook away or use it in a sauce with butter and very little flour. Rub 1 tea spoon flour into tablespoons but ter to thicken one-half cup liquid.
 Remember. too, that lima beans should be salted when they are half cooked There's danger of toughening the covering if the salt is added when they are put on to cook. Allow thirty to forty min utes cooking time and occasionally shake the pan. Their flatness often causes them to stick to the bottom of the pan and scorch even when there is plenty of water. Shaking the pan prevents sticking and does not crush as stirring would do.

 Thumb Sucking.
 Gave my daughter clipping in which you told what to do for a baby that sucks his thumb and puts things in his mouth. But she mislaid it. (NIrs w. C)
 Answer-Send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for monograph on management of thumb sucking. It is natural for infants to put things in the mouth. Babies who get the habit of suck ing on clothing or bed clothing nights may be broken of the habit by dipping tn earticles in a little quassia water, letting dry, and leaving to the baby to taste. Quas. sia comes in chips and make the quassia water by sleeping an ounce of the woo dchips in quart of water. It is very bitter. Quas- sia water is an old and effective remedy against pinworms, used as an enema.

Safety Line

Plans to paint yellow stripe down
the middle of North Dakota's oiled
roads may reduce the number Of ac-
cidents and save many lives il it
proves feasible.
Other states have such lines on
paving and they serve as constant
warning to the motorist to stay on
his own side Of the road.
The one difficulty which may be
encountered on our oiled roads is
that OF making the paint "stick."
Oiled roads deteriorate faster than
concrete pavements and when water
gets beneath them, as it sometimes
does, the oil is floated off. In such
event the paint probably would be
noated off with the oil.
But, whatever the handicaps, the
move is a constructive one and should
be given fair trial.
Motorists who drive at night will
be particularly grateful, for they
frequently can see such a line when
blinded by on-coming lights, despite
the fact that they can see little else.

North Dakota farmers stand to make
a neat piece Of money by going into
the poultry business.
The current condition is that sup

NAL or nearly so, though some change
in dietary habits may be forced upon
some persons by high prices, due to
the scarcity OF certain items.
The greatest deficiency, however,
will occur in animal products after
current distressed supplies have been
slaughtered and consumed and stor-
age stocks have been reduced. Hogs,
for example, will be about 30 per
cent below normal and the supplies
Of other meats will be about 10 per
cent below normal.
The hog shortage, Of course, can be
eliminated rapidly when greater feed
supplies are available, but it may be
several years before the beef situation
again reaches normally.
This offers splendid opportunity
for the poultryman. Well-finished
broilers should bring a good price
next spring and summer and North
Dakota is in happy position to supply
them. The climate Of this country IS
favorable to poultry, as witness the
turkey sales which have supplied con-
siderably more than pin money these
last few years.
