No wonder her beaux "say 1t with flowers" when she wears this star- ry-eyed young frock to gay summer date-times. An ingenue style if ever there was one, Pattern 851 is especially created by Claire Tilden for an enterprising miss to make during her long vacation. And how marvelously easy its cutting and stitching will be, with the Sewing Guide for constant reference. The flowing princess lines, so quick to stitch up, have an extra, button trimmed panel down the front that gives extra flare to the skirt. The belt buttons at either side in line with the trim. Cut the smart square-shaped neck and the sleeves, which may be flared, puffed or straight, in frisky scallops, and edge them daintily with lace. Use one of the gay new cottons.
 Pattern 851 is cut in misses and women's sizes 12, IA, 16, 18 and 20. Size 16 requires 1-2 yards 39 inch fabric and 2 IA yards lace edging.

 o. What can be done to elim- mate beetle grubs? They hide in cracks of floors, behind loose base boards, in heat radiators and debris.
 A. Use a strong, fresh pyrethrum powder. The dust should be left in their hiding places for two days, then gathered and replaced with fresh pyrethrum. For severe infesta- tionS, one or two dustings a week for about three weeks are recom- mended.
 o. How may I detect spoilage in canned foods?
 A. No canned food which is ab- normal in odor or appearance should be tasted or served for others to eat, whether it is cooked or not. The first point is to exclude from use as food, materials in which spoilage is known to have taken place in the can. Vegetables, such as string beans, peas. asparagus and greens of various kinds. should be reboiled when removed from the can, after first determining that they are not noticeably spoiled.

Someone prowling around your
cottage" repeated Neal in a tone
which betrayed his lack of belief
in the statement. What time was
that, Mrs. Rutherford ,"
Just twenty minutes of three. I
snapped on the light and looked at
my clock"
"You didn't say anything about it
this morning, mother" DR.. PauTs
voice held skeptical note.
II forgot it in the hurry Of your
getting away for that ride down
the CAPE" replied Mrs. Rutherford.
1T just came to my mind now."
Are you sure it wasn't a dog,
Mrs. Rutherford ?" asked Mrs.
Peake. She was plainly uneasy by
the others fiat assertion.
II am positive it was not. don't
know what walked me, but I heard
footsteps close to my window. Then
they seemed to go toward the
fence, the spite fence" she con-
tinued. "You know our cottage is
close beside it."
"Yes," agreed Mrs. Peake quietly.
II listened, wondering who could
be outside, for it seemed to me it
must be almost morning. When the
| footsteps came back by my Win
dow, I pulled on the bed light to
look at my clock. The instant my
light flashed on, the footsteps be-
gan to run. I lay for some time
listening, but I didn't hear any
more and, finally. dropped off to
sleep again" y

any of this" DR.. Paul said. I'm a
light sleeper" /,

Peake. would you like to move
into the house? If you are at all
nervous, I will have your things
changed after dinner"
"Well-" Mrs. Rutherford didn't
| seem to know whether she wanted
to exchange her cottage for a room
in the main house or not"
Nonsense, MOTHER" broke in
Paul. "Tll change rooms with you
if you wish. but there's nothing for
you to be nervous about. It prob
ably was some casual prowler.
Possibly someone who wanted a
good look at the spite fence and
dida't dare come into the grounds
during the day. 1t was bright
moonlight last night"

light brown hair, greeniSh gray
eyes and an eternal cigaret which
mucks up her fingers and peppers
her dresses with large and small
burns. Why on earth her brother
doesn't prohibit them or, at least,
ration her to a reasonable number
is beyond me.
I like to smoke, and have for
years. But I don't lounge around
with a cigaret dangling from the
corner of my mouth and my eyes
squinted up into pin points to avoid
the smoke.
In plain words, 1 think Pauline
Rutherford is spoiled brat, ruined
by the tomfool pampering of her
mother and brother Paul, who is in
the hospital with Neal. Perhaps I'm
being too hard on the girl. There
may be things about her which are
very fine and at twenty-one are not
as yet fully matured.
I blame Mrs. Rutherford for her
daughters faults. She is one of
those women whose children are
the sun, moon and stars of their
existence. I suppose most children
are that to their mothers, but,
thank goodness, the majority of
mothers do not show their feelings
in such a silly way. Mrs. Ruther-
ford fairly beams if Pauline makes
the simplest Wisecrack and when
Paul speaks she hangs upon his
words as though he were elucidat-
ing the lore of the sages.
1 thought Pauline showed bad
taste, to say the least, to make
such remark at Mrs. Peake's ta-
ble would have passed it over in
the silence it deserved, but every
one stopped eating to stare at me.
Thus forced to make some reply, I
commented casually:
II wasn't quite sure if I were on
the right track. so stopped to get
my bearings"
Mrs. Ptake leaned forward, an
anxious expression on her pleasant
face.

from the other end of the table.
l thought he was trying to draw
the conversation away from such
dynamic subject and I responded
with a peppy account of my days
drive, omitting my getting lost.
For a few moments the conversa-
tion flowed in general channels and
1 was congratulating myself that
the delicate subject was forgotten
when Mrs. Rutherford spoke:
