Lefty was still smiling at her. She

She was angry with herself, too.

was Princeton quarterback.

rs fruit soup novelty to you?
1 If it is, it's high time you
were becoming better acquainted
with these cool, delicious appetite
ers. Pleasing to the eye, with the
faint fragrance of rich, ripened
fruit, they're ideal as the first
course of a midsummer luncheon
or dinner.
Must Be Chilled
Fruit soups are fruit juices,
thickened just enough to lift them
from the cocktail class. Their
hot counterparts are cream soups,
but fruit soups are ordinarily
served very cold.
Tart sr.its are best prepared in
this manner, and a combination
of fiavors is desirable. The thick
ening agent may be cornstarch,
arroWroot, tapioca, or even -four.
Infinite care must be taken not to
make the soup too thick. A firm,
sticky concoction is far from in
viting, but a slightly thick, syr-
upy consistency is cooling and
delectable.
'N" Any service that WOULD be cor
rect for bouillon or a fruit Gun
can be used for fruit soup. Bouil-
Ion GUYS, thoroughly chilled in
the refrigerator before filling,
sherbert cups or cocktail glasses
are permissible. The soups are
eaten with a sman-bowled soup
spoon or bouillon spoon. -.
The following recipes may sug-
gest other possibilities to you:
Plum Soup !
One quart plums, 4 cups water,
! stick cinnamon, ga cup sugar,
/ tablespoon arrowroot, few
grains of salt.
Arrowroot often is USED for
thickening sauces and buildings
in place of cor.lstarch. it's esps-
cially desirable for children, since
it is, said to be more easily digest
ed than cornstarch. b
Salt ALWAYS is used to do away

men looked at Ann. After 10 Of
~ of these stares she felt self

"Hare another" Jaime urged
shortly, and his smile was disarm,

then they went la to dance.
Ann thought that she was com
pletely happy. She enjoyed tne
dancing. and she knew that to be
seen with Jaime Laird gave mel
insistant prestige. Other. young
men crowded about asking tol
dances. She began to think that

lighted floats made a gay process
SION When the music began and
the other young couples had gone

He caught her hand and drew

her hair as she turned quickly

and, looking around, saw that

"These vacation romances come
fast and furious" he said.

regained her composure.

Ann Hamilton, pretty young
secretary in a large business Of
flee, goes to a travel agency to
make plans for her two-week va
cation.
Bill Ware, travel bureau m
ploye, persuades her to 60 to Lake
Racine. Bill is obviously attract
ed BY Ann, but she gives him lit

Ann goes to the mountain re-
sort and at first is lonely. Then
she meets Ralph Spring, the head
boatman, who tells her frankly he
is not interested in girls. Ralph
introduces Ann to Jaime Laird,
wealthy playboy. Jaime asks her
to 60 to a dance at the fashion
able Majestic Hotel.
NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER V
While Ann put on her new eve

finishing touches to the bed. She
helped Ann with the fastenings,
and suddenly the girl turned. do
you know anything about a young
man by the name OF jaime
Laird?" she asked.
The maid smiled. Everybody
knows him at Lake Racine. You'll
find a lot of gossip in the village.
He's quite a lady killer, they say.
One of those playbOyS. He spends
most of his afternoons at the
track"
Track" Ann begged.
"The horse room-Or whatever
they call that dark little hole IN
the village where they get on the
races that take place all over the
country. It's rugged up with loud
speakers, and it's just like being
at the races, they say The maid
smiled. But it's not legal. You
dive in, and dive out. They tell
me it's the biggest racket since
bootlegging.
Ann recalled some talk at her
office in the city about the bet
ting racket, controlled by gang
ster bosses. They had invaded the
summer resorts because men and
women on vacation are easy
marks; they have time on their
hands, and money to spend.
Ann was sorry to learn TINS
about Jaime. "Surely he rides or
climbs or does something in the
outdoors? If he goes to the bet
ting room in the afternoon, what
does he do in the morning"
The maid said YEARLY, HE
watches the ticker tape in the
stock office. He's a rich young
man."
Ann was thoughtful when she
went down the stairs to meet
Jaime. But these doubts vanished
when she swept through the lobby
in her evening gown, a cloak over
her arm, the cynosure of all
feminine eyes. Jaime was wait
ing for her at the door.
Once she was seated at his side
in the sleek roadster, she felt
superbly confident and at ease.
''You are a good-looking babe,
Jaime said, without conscious HAT
terry. Such simplicity in praise
was becoming to a sophisticated
young man. She felt that ne
meant it.
Ann said little during the drive;

face. She was so gloriously hap

the canvas after one minute ana
81 seconds of the second round
and gave Norment Quarles, Hen
dersonville's lightweight, quick
knockout victory in a scheduled
| Ground bout at the Carolina
arena in Asheville last night.
The ultimate outcome was IN
doubt for only few seconds al
ter the bell rang for the hrst
round. The two men looked each
other over briefly and then
Ouarles went to work. He backed
Rather to the ropes, Strengthened
him up with his left and went to
work at close rang with both
hands. -,
The New Yorker was visibly
weakened by the furious attack,
but was experienced enough to
get away and fight back enough
to keep Quarles away for the re-
mainder of the round.
In the second Quarles again
found an opening and furry OF
rights and lefts again sent the
New Yorker to the ropes. Rather
tried to get away, but Quarles
caught him with a stiff right and
two jolting lefts to the head and
he went down.
Referee Anthony counted to
nine before Rather got to his feet.
Quarles wasted no time. He
swarmed all over his opponent,
swinging with both hands at close
range and the New Yorker again
hit the canvas. Midway in the
count he rolled over on his face,
made an effort to rise, then
slumped to the floor and was
counted out. His seconds literally
carried him to his corner.
HENDERSONVILLE BOY
IN PERFECT SHAPE
Quarles seemed to be in perfect
shape. He weighed 1856, about five
pounds over his usual weight.
Rather weighed 141, also above
his normal weight and over the
limit, but Quarles' additional
weight made the ratio the same
as the 131 and 1877 the two men
were expected to make.
Rather, who has decisions over
some really good lightweights and
who ranks approximately goth in
the national rating, was expected
to prove a tough match for the
Hendersonville boxer. His show
ing may have been disappointing
to some of the fans, but those
who have followed Quarles' work
believe that when he is in shape
and fighting with both hands, as
he was last night, he is a match
for any of the lightweights.
BRITTON OF THIS CITY

In the semi-final fight, Nat
Britton, of Hendersonville, SUBJ

was stopped in the second round
by Booter Johnson, of Richmond.
Britton was game and came up
twice after stopping hard rights.
