How thin she was, and looking.
Ronnies heart went out to her in
rush of tenderness.

Il couldn't. Dana shook her

Ronnie felt his heart leap. He
took Dana'S hands, folding them
closely in his own. After moment
he released them. Not because Dana
had resisted, but because she seemed
unconscious that he was holding
them.
This business had been a shock to
Dana, but she'd come out of it after
a little. She was young and beauti-
full, and it would be the most nat
ural thing in the world for her to
want pleasure and companionship
again.
Dana became aware of the
deepening silence, and of Ronnie's
troubled face. What a dear he
was! You would think being rich
might have spoiled Ronnie, made
him cocksure and arrogant. But
it hadn't. Having money didn't
seem to count at all with him.
Maybe it was because he had al
ways had it. With Scott, now how
difficult it had been just manag-

asked herself, to lead straight to

too cruel to spend your life want
ing some one who didn't want you

this outfit.
Other smart styles to be found

A natural kasha coat, bordered

Skin Tonic Is
Good Item for
Dressing Table
BY ALICIA HART

ID 4 kAA1NlA ftAhI
New and handsomely packaged
skin tonics and astringents which
have put in post-holiday appear
ance on the market would be good
items in which to invest part OF
your Christmas money. Designed
to refine the pores and clarity the
complexion, one of these is neces-
sary to any Woman's beauty rou-
tines.
At night, after you have cleaned
face and throat, then patted on and
removed tissue cream, dip a cotton
pad in skin tonic and remove every
trace of cream. If you have dry
skin which stays softer and smooth
er il you sleep with cream on your
face and neck, apply a new, thin
layer after the tonic has dried. If
your skin is oily, let the application
of tonic be the last step.
Diluting
If you sometimes need a stronger
lotion, it's a good idea to buy one
of the new astringents which can be
used two ways. When you need
only mild tonic, dip the cotton
pad in ice water and wiring it quite
dry before you moisten it with as
tringent. This way, naturally, the
liquid is diluted. When you want
to use it full strength, don't wet the
pad with water. Simply soak it in
the astringent.
You can, of course, wrap tonic
drenched pad around the end of a
patter and use it not only to re-
move every trace of cream but to
stimulate circulation as well. How
ever, remember to pat gently. Other
wise, you're likely to break down
delicate tissues, thereby causing
flesh and muscles to sag.

He started to run-and stopped
abruptly A car was coming from
the opposite direction. 1t swung to
the curb and he saw Ronnie Moore
was at the wheel. Ronnie spoke
to Dana and she nodded. Then he
stepped out and opened the door of
the car for Dana to enter.
Scott turned and retraced his
steps. When he reached his own
car Ronnie's roadster was not in
sight. He must have cut across the
corner.
So already Dana was seeing Ron
ME. Scott told himself he might
have known it. BY this time his
feeling was not the fierce anger
that blazed periodically, but de-
spair more terrible to bear.
Now that Ronnie had swung back
in line, Dana would be fool to
come back to him, Scott argued.
Why should she choose man who
had nothing more than vague pros
poets when she could marry one
who was sitting on top of the
world? The girl didn't live who
would choose the poor man. There
had been such girl, but she had
discovered her folly, and run out
on her husband at the first oppor-
tunity. On sham pretext that
wouldn't deceive any one.
Scott, sitting motionless in his
car, laughed shortly. 1t was a
mirthless laugh.
There wasn't any use going off
his head about the situation. Other
men had lost their wives for the
same reason. Money. 1t was
strange that men should go on
wanting women who had disap-
pointed and disillusioned them,
but they did. Wanted them fear
fully, with a need that was like
nothing else. Feeling lost and in
complete, as though an arm or leg
or eye were missing. Or, worse,
as though some spiritual element
that gave meaning to life was gone
forever.
If Dana had only waited Scott
knew he could have made money
for her. Not as much money as
Ronnie had. Not 10 million. But
enough to give her a fine home and
pretty clothes if that was what she
wanted.
The thought of Ronnie was like
acid, burning new tracks of misery
along which his tortured thoughts
must travel. Scott was glad in n
dull kind of way-perhapS relieved
was the better word-that DR.. OS-
borne had invited him to his homo

stanch friend.
DANA and Ronnie arrived at the
- Cameron home. Nancy, who
had been reading, glanced up at
them, startled. She got up and
started toward the door.
Ronnie called, Don't go, Nancy.

Sink Strainer
Innings Are Aid
to Housewives
BY MARY MEADE

You all know the woman who
loves to cook if some one else will
wash the dishes and clean the sink.
What with all the cooking refuse
that piles up in the sink strainer by
the time meal preparation is fin,
ished, we don't blame her a bit
Nobody likes to scoop wilted lettuce
leaves and carrot tops and odd
scraps of sticky, unbaked pastry out
of a greasy sink, no matter how
much she may enjoy cooking.
That's why so many after the meal
skirmishes probably will be cheered
by the appearance of the new
parchment liners for the sink
strainer. These tri-cornered paper
baskets, with perforated bottoms for
draining, fit neatly into the regula-
ton triangular sink strainer, and
provide the perfect receptacle for
small scraps and garbage.
Besides eliminating the distaste-
full task of scraping garbage into its
ultimate container, these parchment
Innings can be used for cleaning
doughty, sticky knives. Two up
standing flaps are just the place for
that unpleasant job.
The liners mean a great deal to
the condition of sink and utensils,
as we'll as to convenience and COM
fort. The waterproof, grease proof
parchment reduces the amount Of
securing and cleaning the sink will
need, for one thing, and is a good
preventive for clogged drains.
The strainer no longer needs
to be battered and pounded
TO shake free any tenacious scraps,
which naturally extends its lease on
life.
These Innings are excellent for
washing and draining berries and
vegetables Their convenient card
board carton makes it possible to lift
out one lining at a time without
disarranging the rest of the supply.
