rough roads ahead of her. Bus she had fallen in live with Gibbs She didn't know. what to do about it. Europe had been a desert without him. Other men were just shadows .. She hadn't slept well last night. Maybe that was why she dropped off into slumber as she waited for Katharine. That was why she didn't know2 the horses and their riders had returned. Her car was drawn up. alongside the dirt road, in the shadows of the dropping willow. Katharine didnt SC her either, for quite little time. She was talking to the tall young man who dismounted from the big, nervous horse with the white star on his forehead. Zoe, awaking, started at them curi- ously.
 Why, whatever was the matter. with Katharine? She had never sen her look that way never before in all her life. Katharine was pale, but her eyes glittered as though she had an inward fever. She laughed vaguely and stripped off her gloves and put them on again. without seeming to know exactly what she was doing.
 The young man was talking to her quietly: it seemed the most casual sort of conversation. Good looking chap, ss oe told herself. He must be the young westerner who runs the place. But Katha- rine had never been interested in any man before. She (Zoe) must be imagining things
 Presently Katharine saw Zoe waiting for her. She flushed deeply, painfully and said some thing to the man in riding clothes. He turned toward Zoe's car and saluted her gravely. Then Katha- rine walked briskly toward the car.
 My dear, I believe you're in love"' Zoe said.
 Katharine stared at her. Non sense,' she said sharply. "I never heard anything so silly in my life!"

 Thus Lisa Parker's thoughts on this fine morning.
 'The storm,,' she said, casually to her daughter, just about ruined my dephiniums."
 Zoe lifted a transparent cup and drank her coffee. k
 "TerribIe!" she said affably. Wasn't it funny. Zoe unused, how older women were about garden ing? Herself, she simply couldn't imagine fussing about anything so unimportant. She folded back the newspaper before her to the social notes. Her heart turned over = once -- twice. It thudded, and then righted itself again.

And had sent flow CTS twice since they'd been back.
 Lisa hadn't asked about Gibbs but she hadn't needed to. Peo- pie had been careful to tell her that Gibbs was in Maine for the month of July, at least. So that was all right. How could Zoe care anything about him? Why, he was so dissipated looking-be fat, too, soon if he wasn't care full! But there was something she didn't know-about man in his middle thirties that seemed to attract young girls. They got tired of the boys they knew. All the boys had Hines" Maybe that was it.. Well, Gibbs had a line, too, although Zoe wouldn't admit it. Zoe insisted he'd been the vic- tim of circumstance. We'll. prob ably they were all through with

And yesterday had been stormy and Katharine had called to say she didn't feel well. Had a headache or something. As if it weren't an unheard-of thing for Katharine to say she was ill.
 Zoe drove into the door yard of the riding school. It was the old Rogers farm: this new man, whoever he was, rented it from Dan Rogers. There was nobody about but an elderly colored man who said Miss Strykhurst was due back any minute.
 Zoe shut off the engine and waited. It was very quite here A few chickens fiuffed about ir the yard, and occasionally 2 horses inquiring head, with 1t the open door of the stall. There was a faint sound of switching and stamping. as flies tormentet the beasts inside.

Dinner
ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

ByMRS.C CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
"Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"My daughter is planning to
become engaged this week. 1,
the mother, am going to an
nounce the engagement. This
is being done at a dinner where
only the immediate families are
present.
"WiIl you be so kind as to tell
me what procedure 1 am to use
in doing this? Should I an.
nounce it after the dinner, or
while we are still at the table?
Should I do the announcing, or
should my husband do it?
III.
At a dinner given to announce
an engagement, it is usually
the father of the girl who
makes the announcement. After
about the second course of the
dinner the father directs that
all glasses at the table be filled,
then lifts his own glass, and
says, It want you to drink to
The happiness of our Paulina
ard to her George. I know that
Their happiness is very close to
the hearts of everyone of u.s."
AS the father says, "Paulina"
he holds up his glass and looks
at your daughter, and as he
says, "Georgs," he holds up his
glass and LOOKS at your daugh-
ter's finance.
Everyone EXCEPT Paulina and
George rises, and drinks swal-
low or two of Champagne or
whatever the chanpagne-sub-
stitute may be. In he mean
time your daughter slils her en-
gagement ring on her finger
and the engagement is an
nounced.

Some OF the ways it can be

Dreamed vegetable soups for
luncheons or adding a cream
sauce to the fresh vegetables,
or a hot cheese sauce, is an
other method.
For children, you will find
that milk may be substituted
for water in cooking and bak-
ing. BY ruses such as this you

Eggnogs are also good. Even
when children do not enjoy

afternoon for a mid-afternoon

Loves Enlisted Man

6tDear Miss Fairfax:
"My father is a high-ranking
officer in the Army, and he ex-
poets me to marry in the service
AN officer, of course. But,
strange as it may seem, have
fallen in love with an enlisted
man. 1 think he's the hand
soonest man I've ever seen.
know nothing about him, but his
manners are those of a gentle
man.
81 have made occasions to talk
to him, but he doesn't take them
up. 1 think my mother and
father would have a fit if they
knew 1 was interested in a
common soldier I'm II years
of age. "A. F. L."
At the heavenly age of II,
we're all likely to fall in love
with someone we never marry.
And I'm afraid this is your case,
my dear girl. You know better
than I, perhaps, how a high
ranking officer would regard an
enlisted man as a sutton for his
daughter.
Enlisted mer have gone to
West Point and made very fine
officers, but my conscience will
not permit me to hand out any
improbable romance as a paci-
fier, particularly as the young
soldier has not taken up any of

] n I Z E,
with him, with some definite
suggestions for homes. You've
probably seen his name on some
of the best pictures lately,
as designer for the settings.
Motion picture settings have
one primary purpose and sew
eral secondary functions. They
are, first of all, backgrounds
for action. Secondly, they play
a very important part in estab-
fishing the mood and atmos-
phere of a story, and in inter-
preting characters. And last, but
by no means least, they have a
decorative purpose in the pic
ture.
These are the essentials in the
modern home too. Inside and
out the house should reflect
the personality and needs OF the
occupant. The movies have done
much to educate the public IN
home decoration, and in better
taste. Settings are done by ex'
perts, and we can well learn
from them.
The vogue for white furniture
was undoubtedly suggested by
the use of it on the screen. The
present vogue for period furnl-
ture can no CHubt also be attrl"
buted to the influence OF pic
lures. Many stunning settings
with authentic old pieces have
been shown, and they are really
an inspiration.
Much use is being made OF
Victorian furniture these days,
both in pictures of that period,
and those with action taking
place in the present. Early
American, Tudor. Louis XVI,
Empire and Regency are other
periods to be seen in the better
homes.
Some beautiful modern classic
scenes, and also some purely
modern settings are to be seen
in Top Hat" Louis XVI furnl-
ture is used in Mae Vests home,
and also in some of the settings
for her pictures. There have
been films recently with good
Victorian and Regency furni-
ture, and there will be more to
come. Next week let's hope for
practical advice from Mr.. Pol
glase.

ELktOn Changes

Elkton is a lovely old town
and it writhed under the stigma
of being a "get-married-qulck
resort.
More than 900 couples, "wl1o
didn't seem to know what it was
all about" as one of the towns
solid citizens put it, were re-
Gently married in one month,
with hardly any more serious
ness than if they had jumped
over a broomstick."
Then Elkton's responsibility
rebelled. It adopted an ordi-
nance that permits signs of vir-
tually every service, save that OF
marrying, being displayed.
Elkton's citizens, who had
worked long and earnestly to
bring about that ruling, are 60
ing about congratulating them
selves that the fine old town Of
Elkton has at last saved its
face.

"Dear Donna Grace: 1 am Is
years old; I have oily skin; my
face is full of pimples and black
heads. 1t has been that way
since 1 was IL years old. Lately
have been drinking buttermilk
and milk till someone told me
it's bad for my face. Is that
true? Please help me. B. c."
Dear B. c.: Your diet should
be a plain selection of good
foods, but it may be advisable
for you to avoid rich desserts
and meats. However, the diet
is not nearly so important as
cleansing the skin surface. Why
not send for my Milk Facial?
It is so simple and easy to use
at home, and you will have sat-
iSfactory results at once.
Thousands of young people
have cleared their skins with
this treatment. Do not touch
your face with your hands un-
less they have been thoroughly
scrubbed and dipped in an an.
tiSeptic solution. The face is so
often infected by the hands.
Perty: Your weight is about
right according to the chart, but
an 18-year-old girl who is only
S feet tall is really not a fash
ionable figure, if she weighs
more than 10. You know many
of them weigh much less than
that and are in good health.
You say you have plenty of ex-
ercise, so no doubt you eat more
than you need. You know, it
is the food we eat that builds

Years to AnnuL

Huge printed signs on front
porches, Illuminated by electrlc
lights at night, announced to
the youthful pair, who had
frequently more than dlned ana
wined, that marriages were per-
formed on the premises.
Steered by the cabman, VINO
divided the fee with the
churchless pastor, spurred on
by the wining and dining,
youngsters were united by a
mumbled incarnation which
sometimes took years to annul.
That dinner with the whats
yours" often produced such
complete forgetfulnesS that
young people were amazed the
day after to find they had
gone through marriage cere-
mony which the law regarded
as binding.
The participants weren't in
love, frequently were barely
acquainted, and often the
entire performance was the
result of a dare or a bet.
Then there was nothing for
the parents to do but to get
Mamie or Johnny out of the
scrape. And as grounds for
divorce in the States of Mary
land and Virginia are strict,
while those of Reno and Mexico
are-well, not exclusive-par-
ents had their hands full, and
often their pockets empty, in
rescuing Johnny and Mamie

Dutch curtains are practical
for any room where it's desir-
able to regulate light and air
a nursery. for instance, or a
bedroom.
You make four curtains-a
pair for each sash. The rod for
lower pair is attached to win
dow sash so that curtains go up
and down with window when it
is raised or lowered. The rod
for upper curtains is fastened to
the window casing.
Making Dutch curtains with
French-pleated headings gives
them a tailored look. To do
this you'll need material almost
twice as wide as the width you
want each finished curtain to
be. To make curtains about %
inches at the top you'll need So
inch material, and your pleats
could be three or three and one"
half inches in depth.
The curtains illustrated are
II inches at the top, and 36-inch
material was used, with four
pleats two inches in depth and
side hens of three-quarters of
an inch. This is how they're
made:
