HERES big news! It's all about
- denim, just plain ordinary,
sturdy blue denim. Believe it or
not, after all these years that blue
denim has been associated in our
minds as mundane material de-
voted for the most part to the max
ing of mems workaday overalls, we
awake to the astonishing realization
that this sturdy fabric has, in this
summer season, gone style-high for
women's wear. Just how Dame
Fashion could have been so blind
these decades past as to fail to rec
ognize the style possibilities of den
i'm as medium for ladies' apparel
will forever remain mystery.
However, the fact remains denim
has Enthusiastically come into its own
in the feminine realm, not only for
the making of play clothes, but de-
signers are turning out the smart
est-ever suits meticulously tailored
of this never-wear-out attractive
weave. In consequence of which we
now see clever little classic jacket
and-skirt tailleurs of blue denim
worn by women who register among
the best dressed. These suits are
stunning worn with a white pique
blouse or dainty, frilly white lin
gerie type, with accessories in
white. Equally attractive are these
suits with accents of bright color
such as a Roman striped blouse
with striped sandals and handbag
to match. Scarlet or bright yellow
buttons, belt and gloves is another
way of doing it. The tailored linen
blouse in vivid color also goes well

Hell be here in a jiffy. Lynn
and your Granny need to see you
before they're convinced you're

Well, did it all come off according
to schedule? Did it follow the pat

"Oh, perfectly! It was heavenly
after the chute opened" she an
swered, STOPPING to look out of the
ambulance window. 'I don't see
the Hermod."
'But you can hear him? Right
over u.s." Vance LIE Roy said.
The matriarch and the cripple
and the old governess greeted her
in character. The ancient woman
saw in her the reincarnation of her
own dim, daring youth, choosing,
as she had done, the brightest ad-
venture of her period, and the para
lytic sublimated his own helpless
ness in her courage and skill.

do not wet easily.
Fireproofed fabrics are particu-
larly desirable for curtains and
hangings in the home which are
likely to be blown against lamps or
candles, for the coverings of ironing
boards, for rugs near fireplaces, and
even for children's playsuits. The
solution is not weatherproof, and
articles that are washed, such as
curtains and playsuits, will have to
be fireproofed after each washing.
The treatment does not affect the
textile colors and does not injure the
fabric. 1t does have slight pro-
tective effect in counteracting the
destructive effect of acid and sui
phur fumes from stoves and fur
naces.
In Fireproofing Fabrics, DR..
Leatherman gives detailed direc-
tons for the borax-boric acid treat
ment and also mentions three other
useful formulas for fireproofing GER
tain insulating materials. He also
mentions several fireproofng proc
esses developed in the bureau OF
chemistry and soils and protected
by public-service patents, but these
are more complicated and not prac-
teal for home use.

with an outfit that is made of denim.
A two-piece dress (shirt and skirt
of denim, as illustrated to the left
in the group, will not only give un-
told service but it stands for style
personified in the sports clothes
realm. Every line and detail of this
outfit reflects exquisite standards of
tailoring plus perfection of fit and
finishing touches.
Ship ahoy! See the lovely recruit
for the sailors life conferred in the
picture. All logged out is this mid
summer siren in sturdy denims that
never lose an item of perfection no
matter how many the big waves
that wash over them-old demon
shrinkage doesn't have a chance.
And what a wealth of style these
sturdy denim toys do pack.
Even if the girl pictured to the
right took an unexpected dive into
the sea she need not be concerned
about her outfit, for neither salt
spray nor suds will make the sturdy
fabric shrink. Note the nautical
symbols, the pipings, braidings, all
smart details of this grand garment
that promises to remain true ''for
better or worse" wear.
BY way of offering a few extra
suggestions for the styling of denim
we don't mind telling you that a
bolero dress of denim will prove a
positive treasure in your outing or
vacation wardrobe. You vary the
blouse to suit the occasion and it's
ION again, off again" to suit the
changing temperature, so far as the
cunning bolero is concerned.
The idea of denim for children's
play suits, dresses and other APP
parel should prove most inspiration
al to mothers.

Platinum Once of No Value

Old prospectors like to tell how

for this much despised substance

little value years ago. Counterfeit

its heavy weight, and gold-plated

CHAPTER x

Gunnar stood still in a clunp of
madronos when he and Sarah Lynn
were out walking after lunch.
"Now we talk" he announced
stifay.
Sarah Lynn halted before him,
standing with folded hands.
''Love I did not want. Love, I
said always, was weakness"
81 know" she nodded meekly.
Freedom / wanted; freedom like
birds in the air." He seemed to be
accusing her of having ruined his
plans.
'Im sorry" Sarah Lynn said 81
mean, I'm sorry you're so furious
about it and so miserable, but after
all'-she tried to sound reasonable
and detached-''b birds do come down
sometimes, don't they, and build
nests and"
He shrugged his lean shoulders.
His mouth looked beaten, baff1ed.
Everything blocking the way, I
have conquered. Now this conquers
me. I know it. Never can I lose
you. If I fly across the ocean, still
you are there. My life breaks in
pieces. What now can I do?"
Sarah Lynn thought wistfully of
one thing at least, and apparently
the same idea occurred to him, for
his long arms shot out and caught
her to him in a straining hug.
$50, then! It is finished!" he la
mented.
1t was beginning, she exulted to
herself.
He released her and took her thin
shoulders in a tense grip. "There
remains a thing for you to tell" he
said imperatively. "How have you
the deep knowledge of kissing?"
ooh, but I haven't, really!"
"Yet, you said you could tell"
''Wel, of course-boys-it always
happens. But it doesn't count at
ALL" she said earnestly. Duncan
was always trying, but"
From this day"-the ultimatum
sounded-"you jump no more; you
kiss no more"
Every WE'LL" Sarah Lynn agreed
in small voice.
He frowned and sighed. Tonight
I speak to your father"
"Oh, Gunnar, not tonight, please!
Let's wait little"
He shook his head. eve quickly
marry. We go to Norway"
They go to Norway. She sat down
Imply with her back against a pun
gent laurel. "Gunnar! It takes my
BREATH"
He sat down beside her. "It is
my country. Also, have there the
good chance"
"My mother" Sarah Lynn said
in a stricken voice.
He disposed of her mother brisk
ly. That was the way it happened
to mothers: daughters grew large
and made marriages and went away
with their husbands.
Husbands! Marriagesi Norway!
The world was filed with strange
and startling words.
"Gunnar, have you noticed that
funny old thing on Uncle Lynn's
wall-the pipe-rack in burnt wood,
with the verse?"
He nodded.

"glad and proud. You've given me
my best moment, Sarah Lynn"
Miss Pennington's high color was
faded but her diction was as crisp
as always. "Let me tidy your hair
a bit, she hustled up to her. 81
should have thought to have you
wear a close net"
The girl slipped out from under
her hands. The Hermod was down
and Gunnar Thorwald was out and
running toward her. She went to
meet him.
"I'1 know as soon as I see his
face" she told herself. 'I'u know
the first second"
Gunnar was still white, but she
saw at first glance that he was
angry, and her heart turned over
in terror. There was in his pale
face look of fright and of fury.
She did not know what it meant.
Then he reached her, and she
knew Immediately and entirely what
it meant, for he caught her into an
embrace of urgency and iron and
bent his bare yellow head and kissed
her again, and the kiss on the earth
differed only from the one at an
altitude of three thousand feet in
facility and duration.
Sarah Lynn was held in a wise;
she could not move her body or her
lips, but her mind ran and leapt
and scared.
"He does care! He cares-and
he's furious-but he can't help it,"
Suddenly his arms loosened about
her and he held her off, putting her
thoughts into words.
81 have not wanted this" He
frowned in grave anger. cit is not
my wish, my plan. Freedom I like.
But" he looked young, bewildered,
aghast, and on his pale face were
scarlet fecks from the still bleed
ing scratches on her own.
Sarah Lynn tugged at her hand
kerchief and pulled it out of her
pocket. She was smiling, and she
felt very gentle. "There is blood
on your face" she said tenderly.
"Your blood" he said sternly.
eft is your blood upon me-"
Sarah Lynn stood on tip-toe and
wiped the little red smears away as
handily as mother would have
done.
$50" he stated unhappily, "now
I must love you'll"
81 knew you did," she told him.
"You could not know. I did not
know, until the moment when you
would make the jump"
"That's what meant. When you
kissed me. It was different from
any other kiss I ever"
He said quickly, sharply-"You
have, then, the so great knowledge
of kissing? Who has instructed?
Who"
Conrad Jordan was calling them,
walking toward them.
"Gunnar," he~said casually, "Le
Roy will hop the Hermod back to
the field for you. We're all lunching
with the old lady, and she is eager
to get started. Mind driving my
car? Lynn asked me to ride with
him."
"Wait!" the youth said impera-
lively. IA thing has happened"

SUMMER FURS TAKE

Fur in summertime is just one Of

makes fashion an ever-abiding
source of interest and enthusiasm.
IT you would keep pace with the
mode you must acquire a white err

for this summer. When fall comes
you will be wanting one of the new
hip-length jackets in brown fur, ad-

arrived. White marabou or ostrich
neckpieces, boleros and capes are
also proving of immediate interest.

Bed Capes Used as Evening
Wraps Over Summer Frocks

Recently some very cunning
breakfast-in-bed capes have been
brought out that are crocheted with
tiers of little ruff1es from neck to
hemline. They are too lovely to
be secluded in the boudoir, at least
that is evidently the thought of
young and daring daughters of the
household who conceived the idea
of appropriating these delectable
capes for wear as evening wraps
over their summer frocks, and from
all reports the idea is working out
to perfection.

Calvin Coolidge once related that when he was a boy in the hills of Vermont the only merchandise he saw was in the country store, but his horizon was broadened by the advertising of things that appealed to youth. With his desires aroused for the interesting and better things in life, he strove to obtain them Asserting that advertising performs a distinct public service, Mr. Coolidge ex- plained, "It is essential in the first instance to produce good merchandise but it is just as essential to create desire for it.
 This, in a nutshell is the service of ad- vertsing As Calvin Coolidge implied, the most useful household appliance, the long est-wearing rubber tire, or the best mouse trap in the world will never be popular if hidden from the public We cannot have desires for things we do not know about.

Even the example of President Fillmore, who installed the first bathtub in the White House in 1850, failed to make people bath tub-conscious. Fifty years later it still was an uncommon thing to have bathtub in the home The invention was there but people did not care about it-not until advertising got on the job and sold bathtubs Then everybody wanted them, and today no home is complete without one.
