v CHAPTER xx1v

Dorothy started home, in the old car that didn't matter now, to the old house that suddenly was : dearer to her, and thought of her parents, whose unconcern over their mediocre finances had hith- ert0 been target of her contempt.
 Her eyes were moist again; oper- haps they, in their devotion to her and to each other, had found a happier formula for life than she had ever suspected - or, suspect ing, had respected.
 During the remainder of the week Marcia busted herself with plans for the Saturday night party celebrating Dorothy Osborn's chance on the Broadway stage. She decided, with Helen Waddell, whose help she had enlisted. to deliver the invitations by telephone, and to- gether they made out the list.
 First, of course, the other mem. bers of the cast of "Half-Acre in Eden." Then the committees which had shared in producing the play, and after that the rest of the mem- : bership of the Stagecraft Guild. Thus the total Guild membership of nearly 200 was on the list of prospective guests, and, though solne would probably be unable to attend, Marcia decided to in- vite no outsiders, since even Philip Canfield's spacious home had its limits.
 Yet, as she and Helen com- menced the tedious task of tele- phoning each name on the list, 1t was not long before Marcia had made an exception. The name Bradford was of course, near the top, and Marcia was soon talking with Joan.
 "The party's a grand idea, {" Joan said enthusiastically, "and I'll be tickled to death to come, l hope can drag Mike out. You know now he is about parties. He'll try to alibi out of going, as usual Say, Marcial could let the old sourpuss have his way and bring Bruce McDougall."
 Marcia explained the necessity for restricting the guests to mem- bers of the Guild. But even as she spoke she was conscious of wanting, very much, to invite the artist. Why not make one excep- tion
 Bring MT. McDougall along anyway" Marcia said then. Don't tell him he's the one outsider. And bring Mike, too, of course, if he'll come."

A championship contest was being held at a fashionable gun club and at the end of the day targets and scores were posted for the inSpec- ton of visitors. The targets were marked with scoring areas of un- conventional score value due to a special rating system and the five areas were counted with values of 16. IT, g. 24. and 39. One score posted was 100 points six hits. A puzzled visitor turned to a frieIfd ard said he didn't see how a c0m- bination of these numbers in six hits could make 100.

Your plan for your party is
an excellent one. Mexican
foods and Mexican decorations
and accessories are enjoying
such special popularity these

right in fashion.
The tables in the Mexican

you can get such attractive and

CORN ON COB

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
when serving corn on the
cob, where should the corn
holders be placed . beside the
plate or in each end of the
corn?" THANK YOU"
When holders are served with
cobs of corn, they are usually
inserted in the ends of the cobs
before the corn is brought to
the table.
And, incidentally, the best
service of corn-on-the cob, and
especially when the holders are
used, is to serve the corn as
a separate course and accom-.
panied with fingerbowls, half
filled with water.
If served as a separate course,
this course usually precedes the
roast course.
