than 10 minutes, radiant and some- how not caring in the least what Mrs. Marsh thought. Penton greet ed her with an approving smile.
 Mrs. Marsh and her son are in the dining room, Miss Darien."
 She nodded pleasantly. Thank you ..
 Except for the Marshes and a lowering waiter, the big dining room was deserted; and the Marshes had taken a table in one corner by one of the windows which overlooked the lake. As Jo crossed the room she was painfully conscious that the old lady was watching her every step of the way. But Jo in her turn, hiding her ana lytical gaze behind meaningless smile, examined Mrs. Marsh, too. She saw a thin, elderly woman in a black dress which was relieved only by bit of white collar. Her mouth was thin, like her body, and it was tightly set as if it could open only with effort. The white hair was piled carefully and re- gally. and her pale blue eyes were suspicious and cool. Indeed, she was so unlike her son that Jo was for moment taken aback. She thought suddenly that Douglas Marsh must be almost wholly like his father; and she thought, too, that old Aaron Marsh must have led a very harried life with such a woman. No wonder he bent all his efforts toward the gathering of money; and no wonder, as Douglas had hinted, he sometimes strayed bit from the path of fidelity.
 But Jo was relieved to note that even when his mother was present there was no change in Marsh's at- titude toward her. He arose quick ly and went forward to meet her.
 I'm sorry you were rushed. It was my fault entirely. didn't know Mother had planned dinner so early"
 Jo smiled. T must apologize for being late"

 How do you do, Miss Darien," remarked Mrs. Marsh with the air of not caring in the least how Jo Darien did. We've already be- gun, as you see. I like to have dinner when feel like having din- ner."
 Jo laughed, taking the chair which Marsh drew out for her. q agree with that exactly. I think having dinner at a stated time is nonsense"
 Nonsense ?" repeated Mrs. Marsh, raising her eyebrows. I'm

It's in summer that really reach the height of appreciation of the potato. When hot dishes dominate the menus, rice and macaroni make acceptable substi- tutes, but there's nothing. that can quite come up to potato salad as the ideal complement of a cold meal.
 By varying the seasoning and the combinations with which po- tato salad is served, keep 1t from losing its tart zest for the family.
 Generally I make it with cook ed dressing, because the eggs used in it's preparation help bring up the food value of otherwise low calory meals. But for occasions when a particularly piquant dress ing IS required, there's nothing finer than the oil and vinegar mix ture-two parts salad oil to one part vinegar, seasoned with a touch of sugar, salt, pepper, onion (sliced or juice) and celery seed.
 Salad Plate
 Do you ever serve potato salad in a cucumber aspic with a gar- nish of slices of cold baked ham and radish roses Such dish is a picture to look at and perfectly delicious to eat.
 Or an attractive way to serve the tried and true combination cold boiled ham and potato salad lis to roll the ham slices into cone-shaped containers, filling them with the salad. Garnish the dish with celery 'curls and green pepper rings.
 If cooked in their jackets, the potatoes not only retain all their food value, but they stay in better shape. Let them cool thoroughly before preparing for the salad.
 Sometimes potatoes are used mainly as a. filler for other mate rials, much as bread is used as a carrier for butter. Tn any event, 1t is the blandness of flavor that makes the potato valuable for sal- ads.
 Cut potatoes in small enough dice to combine with other mate rials. Large pieces of potato are unappetizing, and it should never be necessary to cut them with the salad fork when served. Neither should they be chopped so finely that they suggest hash. Small cubes about i-2 inch square cut neatly and evenly are the best.
 Tn the following salad the po- tato acts as a filler. This Is an

It is the copious secretion of se- bum or skin oil that keeps the young skin soft, warm, clear, smooth and beautiful. It is the lack of sebum which makes the old skin harsh, dry, rough. sallow and irritable.
 If your skin is young the best cosmetic for it is plain soap and water, and the best beautifiers are fresh air and sunshine.
 If your skin is old, the less soap and the less water you use on it the better. Rather you should use plain cold cream Officially called Ung. Aquae Rosae, or Ointment of Rose Water, and the best cold cream is that which your own druggist will make for you on or der, after the formula in the Phar- macopoeia, which is the legal stan- dard formulary. If any druggist tries to pretend he has never heard of this, keep a tight hold on your pocketbook and hurry right out of there, for he is scheming to gyp you.
 Perfectly fresh olive oil, or se- same oil, or cocoanut oil or even castor oil, is fine for cleansing, soothing and beautifying an old skin, and there are several plain creams, or cremes if you prefer fancy touches, which are excellent for this purpose-but I cant rec ommend any particular product other than the standard cold cream.
 Such oil or cream brightens up saliow, dull or worn old skin just as a little oil brightens and brings out the color of furniture.

 Answer-Possibly some alum dis solved by the sweat exerts an as- tringent effect and so tends to pre- vent chafing. Our readers can set tie this question for us by trying II out.

and like my husband very mucn all that. But recently I met a young man, and I can't get him out of mind. We have gone for Q drive on several occasions, and his conversation Is interesting, and he has acted the gentleman in every way. Would you call it cheating if keep up this friend- ship Signed? Mrs. c. l.. H.
 My dear friend: Would you call 1t cheating if you learned that your husband went for little drive with some young girl? Let's be fair, you know you would not like it, no matter how innocent it was. What good could possibly come out of such friendship? If interesting conversation is the main attraction, it won't last long. Instead, you must admit that you are slightly infatuated with this young man, and fiattered by his attention. It's dangerous pastime, and if encouraged, will grow to such proportions that 1t will get beyond control, resulting in a split with your husband or worse. Take my advice, so long as you asked it. Drop this affair. If your husband is on the level with you, play the game fair with him. Just remem- Der, that lovers are plentiful, but good husbands scarce.
 VITA VAIL. This column is intended as con- q ! I4k f,.ta 1G fra the belief that two can solve a problem, better than one. So, come on now, if there is some little matter that's causing you difficult ty, particularly in matters of heart interest, write to Vita Vail, care of the Waterbury Democrat, or Radio Station, WATR. Letters should reach me not later than Tuesday.
 My dear Miss Vail: am the
 mother of two little girls.
 Though they are only seven and
 ten years of age, they ask those
 rather embarrassing questions
 about babies, and how they
 come into the world. Do you
 think it wise to explain facts to
 children of that age. So far,
 I've passed of the subject cas-
 lily. But I would like to know
 what you think about being
 frank with young children.
 Signed: MRS. l.. F.
 We'll, on this one subject, must say that I do not agree with the ultra modern child psychologists, who urge the blunt teaching Of sex life to really young children. To my mind, the little minds are not prepared nor able to grasp the facts of life in their true mean ing, and will distort them, besides having a tendency to debase their thoughts. It is to their benefit to keep their thoughts in the natural element of innocent ideality, and pleasant day-dreams. Childhood is the Garden of Eden" in ones life. However, neither do advocate the silly explanations given by some old-fashioned parents. when

happy over him. He mustn't let
her know his hurt. II won't
hold you," he had said. you're
free"
Then for moment his heart
had leaped: she seemed to be
looking at him in the old way
love for him in her eyes. Just
for one instant he had thought
maybe she still loved him. Was
she speaking, hardly detected
her voice drowned in the happy
greetings Of people in the CORR
dor outside? They moved on.
The cabin was very quiet. There
had been no sound from Lucy.
Without looking back he had
plunged forward while he had
strength to go.
Now he had stopped at a little
japanese. hotel high in the
mountains. How he had got
here he hardly knew. Tramped
most of the way he guessed.
Ingrowing Interests
AS he stared at calendar
hanging on the wall of the
Japanese hotel where he had
stopped, it came over him what
day of the month it was, and
that his leave was over. He tried
to wrench his mind free from
Lucy, so that he might think of
his return.
Suddenly he saw that return
in its reality. The little white
mans town. with its improving
interests, it's prying eyes! The
women over their teacups, whis-
pering. The men at the club,
smiling.
What should he do? It never
occurred to him to take Jim's
advice to return to America.
Work, his love, was rooted deep
in him. He would go back to his
work, but he would go back
married. AS Jim said, no one
out here married the women he
would have if he'd stayed at
home. It seemed Jim was right.
Love was finished. He would
make the marriage of conven-
fence. Colby he made his de.
cision.
He had no doubt but that he
could arrange such a marriage
within the next few days. It
was done too often in the East.
In Hardin it would be the east
est thing in the world. Ameri.
cans had the reputation among
the Russians of making good
husbands. He could pick up a
Russian wife very quickly there.
For moment he entertained
the idea of going to Hardin:
then he knew that wouldn't do
the news would get around
Manchuria. But undoubtedly it
could be done in Yokohama, too.
The adventurous among Wom-
en- the world over knew that
men coming into the port cities
from the interior of China and
Japan longed for white women's
companionship. Often a man
married a girl few days after
meeting her.
With sudden self-assertiveness
he wired the boss that he had
been unavoidably delayed. Then
he set off for Yokohama.

her.

cry.
He paused there at the door

in his eagerness for she was mo-
tioning him back with an ap.
pealing gesture. Thus they
stood on opposite sides of the
cabin as if in a trance while
that impetuous first moment
he had imagined so often
slipped away, leaving him ex-
posed to her gaze.
Until that moment he had
been entirely unconscious of
himself, all the unhappy brood
ing of the pas5 year forgotten,
his life of travel and isolation
put aside. Lucy and he picking
up their lives where the. had
left them three years ago. But

the outside world, lost to him.
Thrust into it suddenly he

him unable to take the lead,

he had felt a little gauche de.
