Only the fact that the show was far more important than hts own feelings prevented Con from vent. Ing his temper on his animals as he had done once before. When the act finished with tremendous burst of applause he seemed to be in his usual humor.
 
 Madeline, however, and the sui. len Traford remembered vivldly tho scene in the runway. The others who had witnessed t erased tt from their minds. Trafford, bit. ter and defiant, sprawled in q cheap spoak-easy and vowed vengeance against both Con and Madeline. The girl, smarting under tho in- justice of her husbands accusa- tons, decided the game of playing wife was not worth the heartachss and the danger. She made up her mind that she would quitsthe show sond home for money and go back to the farm.
 Because the circus grounds were SO far from the business district, Con and Madeline at0 dinner in the mess tent. During the meal Con nuu nothing to suy, but after he had tinisned his coffee ne turn. cd to her.
 "laow about taking Lucy through her paees to-nighiY" he asked.
 You meun--withOut youY"
 "xes. There always has to be . first time, and this Is as good ws any"
 'But you know I'm not rsadyI You know I'm afraid of her." Mad- cline stammered.
 ''i don't see why. She obeys you as well as she does me, and the only difference will be Tn having an audience behind the g0pes tn- steau of the gang looking 0n.'
 "But I'm nervous and - oh, not to.nignt, Cont"
 "xss, t0.night. Rsnfros is sore about the tracas this afternoon and we've got tU do something t0 make him forget It." Cons eyes always hypnotic, held hers.
 'l see,' she said, wnile-lipped. "rhis is the way you are going to pay me back tor what happened. You want me to Jeopardize my lIte because q drunken sc0undrel inc suited me. What husband you turned out to be!"
 "If l wanted to pay you back" Con drawled, "i'd ma some other way than to have you do an act that's going to put us on velvet on the big time. Come on--let's see what sort of mood Lucy's in and I'll tell Renfroe he can announce the new turn"
 ..No," Madeline protested. "No"l
 But she followed him from the mess tent to the animal cages and, because her will melted like wax against his, sine stepped into Lucy's cage, spoke to her and even strok- cd the coarse brilliant coat on her back.
 "Like a kitten." Con chuckled. "When Lucy gave In she gave In with vengeance. Take a long walk and make up your mind to knock lem cold tonight" "Judasi" Madeline muttered to herself as he kissed her in parting. "fLe could kiss me and send me l 10 my. death. But won't do ft! Renfroe can do all the announcing l in the world but I won't enter 1 Lucy's cage tonight. ! won'tl ! wqn't!.'

How to rouge correctly--thats the question. And the "don'ts" in tho answer loom larger than the "do's."
 Don't smear rouge all over your face. Remember that you arc try- ing to improve on rather than dis tort nature. So make Q careful survey of your cheeks when they are flushed with natural color. Wherever the color shows there is whero your rouge should go. Seldom docs q girl dis cover vivid spots Of color in the hollow of her throat, back of her ears or across her forehead.
 Don't leave harsh edges around the place where you've put on rouge. Natural color In your checks never is streaked or blot chy.
 Don't make up for the daytime under an electric light. stand in front of 6 window with hand mirror while you're blending rouge. But don't make up for evening in the daylight. Have a strong bulb over your dressing table and see that the light shines on your face and not on the mir TOT.
 Here's one last warning-don't

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

United Press etaR Correspondent
 Paris --(UP)-- To wear the blouse tucked-in or not tucked-:n, this is the question Amy BIatt says is confronting the smart woman today. But Amy, ever clever at solving riddles, says why not wear 1t both ways!
 In her mid-season collection shown recently, sine therefore showed her very trim little blouses worn both over the top of the skirt and also tucked in. Most Of her bIouses are softened by small turn over collars, jabots. frills or one and two.toned scarf-ends.
 As for colors, we probably re- marked to you before and may yet do so again, that she goes in for q lot of "nafurals' as she calls them. These take on aiI the beiges and buffs, sands and string-shades. Aside from these she is showing pastels only for summer. Coral IS featured on the pale side of the chart--"like the chains one sees over the arms of the coral vendors of Naples and Genoa,"--she ex- plains. An equally interesting pale blue. an odd green (between q real green and a real blue but with not too much yellow) and . new gray the color of clouds which might any minute turn into rain or burst forth into sunshine!
 The two new Amy Blatt 19S4 yarns are "Ann-ora" and "Ann-ora bis''--which are soft and light as down, and the main thing that counts about them is the twist. As simple as that sounds it is what gives the novel effect when knitted into ensembles. The composition of the yarn Is quality plus. but is IA really the twist that does the trick.

ITS TIME TO BE THINKING
 ABOUT PICNIC MEALS How to Tell How Much to Make
 to sG0 Around
NEA scrvscc Stan Writer

NEA ScTvsce Stan Writer
 With q hey.nonny.nonny and an appetite whetted by fresh air antici. patton and vacation to the nth de- gree, we welcome the picnic sea- son. Unfortunately, back Of the gay party and the wonderful food out Of baskets must be somebody's thoughtful care, and that somebody as usual will have to Do mother.
 So let's get down to this picnic situation and work it out once and for all so that afterwards we can enjoy ourselves. That's ifn- portant for any child will tell you that . picnic is more fun if mother is there and not working all the time.
 Picnic Calculations
 To help out here are some cal. culations for the average occasion:
 Ono large cake 10 inches in di- ameter will serve 1e persons.
 One loaf of sandwich bread will make 24 sandwiches which have been cut in half.
 Two thirds cup creamed butter will spread both sides of s4 sand
 one pint sandwich filling will All 24 sandwiches.
 one quart of salad will serve 10 persons.
 one four.pound chicken will yield about cups of diced meat.
 One 1.2 pound lobster will yield, when boiled enough meat for one quart of salad combined with other material.
 one-half pound coffee and four quarts of boiling water will make enough of the beverage to serve IS people.
 one and one.half dozen lemons will make enough lemonade to serve 20 to 26 persons. depending largely on the size and Juiciness of the fruit.
 one quart of c frozen mixture will serve c to 6 persons. When ice cream means the main part of the refreshments, a larger serving is needed.
 One pound of salted nuts will serve 2b persons.
 One pound of cold boiled ham will serve to 6 persons. and one pound Of meat loaf will provide for about the same number.
 These susg gsstions ar made witn a balanced picnic meal in mind. If baked beans, potato salad. cold boiled ham, meat loaf, meat cand- wiches. cheese sandwiches. pie, cake and cookies are all in evi- dence with lemonade, ice cream and waterhelon for the grand finaIe." the quantities of each vi- and should be very small indeed.
 TOmorr0w's Menu
 Breakfast: Strawberries, cereal, cream, ham omelet, crisp toast. milk. coffee.
 Luncheon: Onion and celery soup toast sticks, cottage cheese and shredded vegetable salad. date and nut bread sandwiches lemonade.
 Dinner: Veal loaf with mush- room sauc potatoes on toast, cress with French dressing. pine apple shortcake, milk, coffee.

SPONTANEOUS CORRECTION OF A COMMON DEFECT OF
 nEVEIIOpMENT

of eee boys from 8 to 1s years O ago in Q private school in Boston sixteen were found to have unde eeended teptiefe. Cryptorehidi9m J + the medical term for 1t. Of 29s boys from . to 10 years of age II a school in St Paul eleven wore found to have the Bnme defect ol development. Probably the condi. ton would bo much more Frequent than these figures indicate if D gen. eral Investigation of large num- ber Of boys were made.
 Heretofore the tendency or prae' flee has been to regard this as . rnther serious condition, and to urge surgical interference in early
 However, spontaneous correction of the defect occurred in nine out of the eleven cases in the St Paul school, at tho age of ten years, eleven years twelve, thirteen, four- teen and in one case in the six
 One of the older ideas of physi. clans was that if this condition, cryptorchIdigm, was not operated on, tho undegcended testicle was likely to undergo malignant or can- cerous change eventually. But OK. perience has shown that there was no foundation for that notion. It Is not now regarded as an indica- ton for operation.
 The operation for bringing the testis down to it's proper place is by no means always successful. In' deed 1t is completely successful In only about one.third of the cases where operation is done.
 From Q thorough investigation oi this subject Dr Carl B. Drake oi St Paul concludes that in the ma. jority of cases of undescended testicle in boyhood spontaneous do. scent occurs by the age of four. teen years, but sometimes is delay. ed to the age of fifteen or even sixteen.
 ' He quotes Q remark made by a Dr 10. D. Newell in recent article in q surgical journal on the "Ideal Operation" for undescended testi- cle, Said Dr Newell: A legend pre- vaiis in the south that operation for undescended testicle should be delayed until after puberty, as the testis will probably descend at or just after puberty. "When we con. slider what little foundation such e legend has in fact and what perfect opportunity there has always been for accurate observation and re- futation, it ig profoundly depross- ing that this legend should con- tinue to exist among medical men," To that pr Drake replies: "On the contrary, 1t seems to me remark able that the truth of this legend has not been generally appreciated by the medical profession"
 Be of good cheer. folks. By and by we'll break the every-ready op. orators of this traditional Yankee custom of getting in, getting out and getting away to the golf course.

Heavy Linens Leap To Fashion Front
 At Smartest Race Track Gatherings
ny ARABIAN YOUNG

New -ork.--if you pay attention Co the fashion tips gleaned from che smart crowds at the Preaknsss and the Belmont race track, you'il put your money on linen Co wiA, cotton to place and silk with tweed topeoats to show for the rest ef the summer racing season. For the most part, the iinsA around the fashionable tracks will be the heavy, uncrushable kind that lends itself well to suave tell. oFingA-some monotone, of course, but many printed, striped, checked and plaided designs. A big per. centage of the most charming ones will have plain blouses and jackets.
 The two.pieee sports dress shown ct the left is q perfect race track fashion. Made of heavy white lin- on with self buttons down the front of the hodiee and on each of the four enormous patch pockets, M hes . plain round neckline and ei- bow-iensth sleeves. The bottom of the blouse is finished with silver clips that clamp over the calf belt through eyelets on the skirt band. The Ascot tis--little brown horses printed on e red baekground--and the linen hat with pleated crown aye amusing and altering access sories.
 The new cottons, particularly the heavy varieties that are sim- ply perfect around race tracks, come in intricate printed designs in bright colors as well as ln neu. tral tones that are meant to be worn with bright jackets and short coats,
 The outAt (right) of imported cotton includes . white shirt, brown and yellow plaid jacket with a whito background and Q white blouse that has matching plaid panel down tho front and . plaid Ascot tie. q
 Tho threo.quarters length jacket Is loosely cut and finished with largo brown buttons to match the belt on the blouse. The jaunty iittlo linenn hat is trimmed with . brown and yellow feather fancy.

she wanted to. Never mind the security.
That meant housework and lunch with
the girls and backgammon and God
knows what else. She wanted a baby,
some day. That was time enough for
security. They'd get along until then
without the boredom of conventionalIy
secure lives. And she had gone ahead
as she had planned, keeping her job
in the book shop, coming home to get
Wilton's lunch, and then going back.
1t didn't seem, now, as though it had
ever worked out. but she couldn't re-
member anything definitely wrong for
the first five or six months. About that
time-why had it taken so long?-she
had discovered that his staying in bed
mornings while she got up and went
to work was irritating her so she could
hardly stand it. She took to going across
to the drug store for breakfast in order
to get clear of the apartment as soon
as possible. Finally (no high-fiung

Village in New York. And now here in
Woodstock, they really looked very well
on the mantel of the brick fireplace.
Even the red one didn't clash with the
bricks-and the various artists whom
they knew and entertained with apple
jack or Wilton's home brew commented
favorably on the lines of the two re-
naming figures.
They were, obviously, work elephants,
used to swinging iron-heayy teak and
ungainly cartons of tea aboard east
bound freighters. These were not what
oversentimental lecturers referred to
as mighty lords of the Jungle" They
were workmen, standing fiat footed,
solidly, purposefully holding up those
unopened novels with no high-hung
trumpetings of dissatisfaction.
That was rather a good phrase, she
thought. "High-f1unk trumpeting of dis
satisfaction" If she were the trumpet
ing kind. she could have had all this out
with Wilton long ago. All this? All what?
That was the trouble. 1t wasn't Wilton's
fault-really 1t was her own. He was
the same Wilton whom she had mar
ried. Then it was she who must have
changed? 1t was.
He had said, Listen, we want to get
married. haven't dime except what
I get once In while when I sell a
story-and about 500 bucks a year from
some messy bonds. I can't support you
II won't even tell you that I'll work like
the devil to do it, because know won't.
I'm warning you because I love you
don't marry me-"
PUT she had married him She didn't
want to be supported or dependent.
She could earn her own living if she
had to; and, what was more important,
