How 10 Refuse Dishes

Dear Mrs. Post: / am allergic 10
milk and ice cream and cannot
possibly touch either one without
becoming violently III. As you can
imagine. having 10 refuse every
thing that is made with milk, and
ice cream. which is the principal
dinner party dessert. causes me a
great many uncomfortable mo-
ments. When I'm with my in
innate friends they understand OF
course. But there are many other
times when l dine with people who
do not know me intimately and ]
find II very awkward 10 refuse
several dishes at one meal. What
in heavens name do other people
in my same predicament do?
Answer: I have known several
people who were allergic TO various
foods and who were inoculated and
made able to withstand their aller-
gies. but I don't know what these
were. ] would advise you-if you
have not already done ito con-
suit your own doctor. II your case
Is likely 10 be durable he will in
turn send you to the right spe-
eialist. II you are not durable,
then the only thing TO do Is to
continue 10 refuse whatever you
cannot eat. and make no remarks.
II you are 'cornered." as 1t were.
by being pressed TO eat something,
or asked why you don't taste IL,
then say lightly but quite frankly
that you are sorry you are unable
to eat anything with milk in II. In
other words, YOU would make as
little Of the situation as you pos
sibly can 30 as 10 give the i'm
preston that you are quite used to
which Of course you are.
Whether you might at times en-
dure slight discomfort Is ques-
ton. but not even for the sake Of
showing consideration to a hostess,
who Is a stranger, are you expect
ed TO make yourself sick. In fact,
to become noticeably III would not
add to the success of any party.
In the present day. the fact that
many people are allergic is so
well known that ] cannot imagine
any hostess who would not under
stand.

Passing Dishes Mt Table

Dear Mrs. Post: II a person who
sits several places away at table
asks to have the bread tray passed,
would 1t look impolite to help my
self to bread first before passing
It?
Answer: II would be very foolish
to pass the tray all the way down
the table and then ask to have 1t
come all the way back again so
you could help yourself. In other
words, IL you keep the dish tor
tray In your own hand, you offer
II to the person next to you before
helping yourself, but if it is to
be handed beyond your reach you
help yourself before letting 1t 60.
Becoming n Patroness
Dear Mrs. Post: Will you please
explain the duties OF a patroness
and what is expected OF her
financially?
Answer: Usually this informa-
ton is given at the time some one
Is invited to become a patroness.
II no enclosure is sent with the
note of invitation giving the price
of tickets or boxes. she can take
1t for granted that nothing Is ex-
pected except permission to use
her name in the patroness list.

longer answer readers letters per-
sonally. but she will be glad to

quest you will enclose three-cent

Only half conscious Kay felt
strong arms lift her.
She was rolled over on her back.
her head lay against Larry's shout
der. they were moving through the
water.
IT'S all right, darling" she
heard him gasp. Don't fight as
she tried to grasp him.
I'll get you there" He was
painting, but swimming steadily.
In shallow water he lifted her
in his arms and, with surprising
ease. carried her into the house.
KAY knew she should walk. that
she wasn't much hurt, but bliss
full inertia made her lie quietly in
his arms.
Wrapping her in a blanket he
laid her on the couch. Dripping,
he leaned over her.

begged. Dreamily numb she real
lied that he had called her darling
twice.

can l, get a DOCTOR"
She forced her heavy lids open.
The light sent pains shooting
through her head and she WINGED.
I'm all right" she said family.
Don't leave me. Larry"
He knelt beside her, hair slicked
back, water running down his
clothes to the rug, eyes black with
fright.
Where does it hurt ?" he asked
gently.
Pushes Hair Back
She freed one arm from the
blanket and pushed back her hair
with a trembling hand.
There" she said 1t was de-
lightful lying there with Larry
leaning over her.
In spite of the throbbing ache in
her head she had never been so
utterly happy.
He tenderly examined the rapid
ly rising purple bump, making
plying little sounds, shaking his
head.
"A nasty crack" he said. "Oh,
Kay-if I hadn't been there-if I
hadn't seen you -
A warm glow softened her eyes.
you ran, Larry. Do you know
that? You ran and dove and
swami"
An incre d ulo us expression
crossed his face. BY golly-' he
murmured in an awe stricken
voice.
Laughs ShakiIy
Suddenly his eyes blazed. THE
old quack was right-doggone If
he wasn't" in an amazed tone.
Kay laughed shakily. I'm your
great glee don't forget that I'm
hurt" she said, and he jumped to
his feet.
Run up stairs and get the
camphor, will you? Run, said
Larry took the stairs two at a
time. Coming back to the couch
he walked easily, naturally.
Pulling a stool beside Kay he
soaked cotton in camphor and laid
it on the aching bump.
They were silent, a close, en-
veloping silence.
After while Kay went to her
room. She rubbed her wet hair
with a towel.
1t frightened into little curls
around her head
She put on pajamas, long blue
robe which tipped up the front
and fiat heeled blue slippers.
Weakly trembling with kline
of terrified happiness, she went
back to the couch.
Larry lighted the fire and drew
the curtains. He changed to dry
clothes and awkwardly prepared
supper.
Sometimes he forgot and swung
his leg, only to raise his knee and
stamp down with his foot.
ITS almost as hard to walk
right as it was to limp he said
laughing to himself.
| Habit, my fine friend" Kay
remarked drowsily from the couch
Habit and nervous inhibitions."
She turned her head to watch
him light the candles.

about.

1T should" with a wry twist Of
his mouth as he tasted the dark
beverage. Strong enough to float

II was pleasant there before the
fire. Candles burning steadily, the
world shut away.
II Brenda Brent's pictured eyes
had not been watching them
amusedly Kay would have been
supremely happy.
When the dishes had been
stacked Larry came back to the
fire.
He changed the soaked bit OF
cotton on ksy's head, between
times walking about the room to
assure himself that his leg was
still behaving.
No More Loafing
We'll, my loafing days are
over he said, leaning with one
elbow on the heavy oak msntel.
Above his head Brenda smiled
maliciously.
But you haven't been loafing"
Cold fingers of fear touched Kay's
heart.
Maybe not, but can't spend
my life in this hut. I've got to
get out in the world and do things.
Important things" He seemed to
have forgotten Kay.
What kind of things?"

I suppose ! could go back in pic
lures now"
He stared thoughtfully into the
fire and the fear in Kay's heart
turned to cold dread.
She wanted to cry out, What
about me? Have l no place in
your life now that you don't need
me ?"
Instead she said slowly. did
you like being the great lover?
Somehow I thought you hated the
fanfare and publicity"
ITO tell the truth, I did. But
there's money in it. Another time
I'd know better than to throw it
all away. In few years l could
be independent for life"
He didn't say, I'VE could be in
dependent for life"
Kay felt pushed aside, left out.
II imagine Brenda would well
come you back, now that you're
we'll again." she said evenly, hold
ing her breath for his answer.
If he would only say, Huh, that
dame let me down once never
again." or something like that.
Gazed at Picture
But he didn't. Turning he gazed
at her picture. Il wonder he
said. II wonder"
Kay closed her miserable eyes.
Why must otherwise bright men
be so stupid where women were
concerned?
Doubtless Larry was the one
woman type. He loved Brenda
Brent and he'd go on loving her
until he died.
Nothing Brenda did could stop
him, and nothing Kay did would
change him.
A spasm Of pain crossed her
face.
