The teacher who wrote these
copies in my book has long since

many of the dear old schoolmates
but the memory of those days still
fingers on although some of it is
filed with sadness.
Among those sehoolmates was

full of fun. He was about my age

His home was near mine and we

SUNDAY DINNER

a COLD spell is quickly felt in the
~ higher prices of perishable foods,
particularly butter, eggs, vegetables
and fruits. As soon as supplies become
normal prices drop back. Since in
creasing supplies of eggs are the rule
at this season, higher egg prices are
bound to be temporary.
Market prices invite the housewife
to serve plenty of salads, for lettuce is
cheap. Several varieties of greens are
also seasonable and inexpensive. Meat
and poultry prices tend to be firm but
the simpler and less expensive cuts
have additional appeal after rich holi-
day fare.
Apples and the citrus fruits are the
chief values in the fruit market.
Here are three menus at different
budget levels for Sunday dinner.

TEMPERANCE TALKS

BY Lucy Smith Guseman
Clayton. Delaware
As the Old Year slips away,
He kindly with him takes
The pages we have blurred and
marred
With failures and mistakes.
The blighted hopes and needless
fears
Are gone beyond recall,
And ours once more the fair, clean
page
The New Year brings to all.
And so we greet the glad New Year
With strong, courageous heart,
And putting all mistakes way
Resolve to do our part
To overcome all hindrances,
To make all weights our wings,
And all our failures stepping
stones
To higher, better things.

fish of a species never seen be-

The fish had stubby tails and

 At q charity style show Toby meets wealthy T1M JAMESON who showers her with attentions for a time. Tim leaves town Tor q few days" but the time stretches on and no word comes from him.
 Harriet admits to Toby that the reason her marriage to CLYDE sABIN has been delayed iS be. cause gabIn is not yet divorced from his first wife.
 BILL BRANDT, long 8 friend of Toby's, Is employed by an ad. yertlsIng agency. Through Bln' Toby Is selected to pose for see rles of advertisements for the HiIIyer Soap Company. She meets JAY HILLYER, president of the company, and he takes her home in his car.
 NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-02

Using campaign had reached other studios. Immediately the others wanted her to pose for them, too. Toby took as many of the assign ments as she could, turned down the others. Rates for her services doubled.
 Make all you can while you can get it," Sally of the Model League advised shrewdly. "A girl has to look out for herself"
 Yes, Toby had learned that, too. A girl has to look out for herself:
 She scarcely ever went out even- ings. Usually she came home from work 50 tired that all she wanted was to drop into bed. And she must be fresh and rested in the morning. The slightest bit of tiredness in her face would show before the relentless camera.
 Weary of this Spartan routine, Toby agreed one evening to go out with Harriet and Clyde Sabin and Clyde's friend, Tom Garside. They were going to a restaurant that he'd recently opened. Newspaper columnists had praised the place, and dance band, famous for its radio broadcasts, played there.
 Harriet said, Tt will be good for you, Toby to get out for 8 change. Besides, we don't need to stay late"
 So Toby had agreed. She wasn't seeing much of Harriet lately. Neither of them seemed to be at home when the other was. And Toby had put of similar invita- tons, by declaring that some day she would go.
 Tom Garside worked for the same company as Clyde Sabin. He was a salesman, but he travelled in 0 different territory than Clyde. Garside had sandy hair and rather red cheeks and he Slurred his words slightly. He told Toby that his family had lived in Virginia, though he had left there long ago She rather liked him except that 1t seemed strange to have an escort who was old enough to be her father. Garside appeared to be sev- eral years older than Clyde.
 The men ordered cocktails and Toby thought both of them drank rather more than they should. With each drink Clyde Sabin's spirits seemed to rise. He ordered an ex- pensive dinner and was insistant that 1t should be cooked exactly ac- cording to instructions. He sent re- quest to the orchestra leader to play Q certain tune and, when they play ed 1t, took Harriet off to dance.
 Garside said to Toby, Would you like to dancer"
 The music was tempting, and she said that she would. But Gar side proved to be clumsy dancer When the number was finished she was glad to go back to their table
 Clyde Sabin greeted them, bean- ing. Great orchestra" he said land great music. I know the fel- low who wrote that song" He was of on a long -winded annecdote about an encounter in a bar-room
 Toby looked at Harriet and thought, What can she see in him?"
 But Harriet, apparently. saw in Clyde Sabin knight in shining armor. She listened to his stories, eying him with rapt, smiling at- tention.

CHAPTER KY

Duryea telephoned for Toby to lome to his studio the next morning 'Chey were to start work at once on lha series of photographs for the FIillyer Soap Company. =.
 And set to work they did. It WAS harder than anything Toby had ever done, and not all of 1t was before the camera. Duryea sent her to @ hairdresser - one whose name was famous. The hairdresser shipped and combed and waved, and when Toby saw the results she had to admit that 1t was an improvement. The new haircut, in some indefinable way, provided the perfect frame for her face. Artfully executed, 1t had the look of complete naturalness.
 Her hair must be kept in the same shining perfection, and so @ series of regular appointments was made. Three times Q week Toby went to the beauty salon. Her skin was fiawless, but 1t, too, must be kept that way. An expert changed the line of her eyebrows slightly, while a manicurist worked on her nails. A young woman who seemed to know great deal about cosmetics produced powder that exactly blended with Tobys skin a rouge so natural looking that t defled detection.
 Duryea, who instituted these changes. insisted that that was irn- portant. Toby was not to have the artificial appearance of a sophisti- cated young woman. She was tc bc youth itself, radiant and un. touched. ...
 Her costumes were selected witt this idea in mind. Dozens oi boxes were delivered at the studio from one of the most exclusive shops in New York. Toby tried or the dresses and hats, and Duryet eyed them critically, making selec' tioI1s. When they had finished with them the costumes went bacl to the shop.
 Harriet seemed almost more ex cited about all this than Toby her l self, She was particularly inter ested in the clothes Toby was t' wear.
 Maybe you'll be famous" liar riet exclaimed. You know ther' was that girl Q few years ago. Sh' wore Q felt hat in photograph for an advertisement - plain fel hat, shaped and dented like mans. It was an exclusive model but in just Q few days manufac' turers all over the country start cd making hats like that. Every body went crazy about 1t. And th' girl who'd posed for the photo graph got offers from the movies and from Q big musical comedy"
 "What did she do?' Toby asked
 "Well, she took the stage jol for Q while and kept on posinl and pretty soon she married ai 1 awfully rich man. They went ava! some place -I don't remembe where. Just think, Tobyl Mayb 1t will he like that with one o your pictures--!"
 T don't think so."
 "But 1t could bel"
 Toby shook her head. Thing like that only happen once in { lifetime she said. Besides, Tn not looking for rich husband.
 "What kind are you looking for? "None."
