stephen could not be dead. He was too alive in her consciousness. AL ways before her minds eye he stood strong, unconquerable, a tower of dependence. She could see exactly how his hair swept back from his forehead, the few touches of gray at the temples, His eyes, keen and blue and twinkling.

 He can't be goner Through all the hard, unhappy days, Diana kept that assurance in her heart, until at last she came to believe that no matter what anyone else said, Ste- phen Curt would never be dead to her.
 Phil was priceless help during these days interviewing people, keeping the curious away from AdelR and Diana, attending to countless troublesome details for them, all the while his eyes shadow ed with genuine sadness.
 Adela kept to her room in the company of Aunt Christie, for which Diana was devoutly thank ful, She felt that later she might be more able to cope with Adela.
 Her father had come to Diana as soon as he got the news. They sat for Q long time talking about Ste- phen Curt.
 T guess you've often wondered why I changed my mind so sudden ly about your marriage that day" MT. Tucker said. But after I talk ed to Stephen, I knew everything would be all right. l knew 1t from something he said"
 "What2 Oh, tell mel"
 He said, Maybe 1t won't be a make-believe marriage after all, MT, Tucker, I'll try my best to make 1t real And so always hoped"
 One morning Larkin summoned Diana to the library where visitor awaited her.
 q am John Dewlaney from the Insurance company" said the tall man who rose at her entrance. "I have come to make arrangements for paying over your lNte husbands insurance"
 Diana was startled, It was the first time the thought of insurance had entered her head.
 Who - to whom Is 1t made out?" she questioned, this aspect of the matter bringing to her mind more clearly than anything else had done the fact that stephen was really, in the eyes of the world, dead. In- surance companies did not pay un. less they were sure-hRd proof. Her heart grew cold within her breast,
 You are the beneficiary, Mrs. Curt, of this particular policy" John DewlNney said. 'The sum Is " Diana stared, "But stherc must be some mistakol Stephens sis- ter-W
 "The sister has been amply pro vided for" the man answered "T'his policy Is made to you--that'S all I know about 1t. If you will just sign Q few papers"

 The word hung in the still room like an explosion. If she took the money, Diana felt she would be Ad- hitting to the world-to herself

Diana wondered If there were others of Stephens family, reanSs Inr how litle she really knew Of the man she had married.
 On the fourth day after the dis- appearance of Stephens plane the broadcaster said, Bits of floating debris picked up 20 miles west oi Crlstobal indicate that the lost plane of the Pan-American Air ways cracked up somewhere in the vicinity. Hope has been abandoned that Pilot smith might have found his way down to some secluded cove to await better weather
 Diana stood up, her face as white as death, her whole body trembling, Excuse me" she choked, and left the room. She never knew how she rot into her wraps, but suddenly she found herself walking through the night, utterly without destina" ton or plan. The pounding of her heart wns echoed in the pounding of her footsteps. "ft Isn't true, it isn't truel" The words beat them- selves into her brain, until they be- came the refrain Of her breathing stephen couldn't be deadl There was too much unsaid between them Unfinished, incomplete "lt Bnt true. know 1t isn't trues"
 Wcnriness claimed her at last and she looked up to And herself In the vicinity Of old Ellen Curtis apnrt- ment. After moments hesitation, she went up and entered without knocking. She found old Ellen crolched by the radio, tears stream. ing down her cheeks. She looked l,p as Diana entered and tho an. giish in her eyes was pitifui to be. hold.
 "DontW chied Diana harshly. Tt isnt true. Don't you know 1t can't be txue7"
 And she flung herself to tho floor and buried her head in the old wo- mans lap.
 The president of the airways company called to see Diana, of- fering sympathy and regrets, The President of the United States sent a message of coincidence. The house was overrun with reporters syndicate representatives, and radio oEsicials. Diana sent in the last col- umn stephen had written and the papers made much of 1t, edging the words in black. The whole country seemed to regret the passing of Q great and brilliant man.

Cold Meat Platter Solves
 Summer Cooking Problems

When the thermometer seems de- termined to break altitude records, that'S the time when the great ar- ray of ready-to-serve meats in the market proves c boon to the meal planner. Ali of these fneats-various kinds Of sausage and meat Ioaves and other cooked rneats-are tempt- ing in flavor, which in itself would commend them ct this season when appeMtes are wilting. There's s0nle- thing about highly favored foods which seems especially appealing in hot weather. Perhaps that's why spiced foods gre SO popular in trop- icai lands.
 In addition to their tempting qualities, cold meats gre high in food vaiue, and that is important, for we need just as nutritious food in summer as in winter. The fact inst we may not est 50 heartily

makes 1t doubIy important that our food be high in f1utr.tive vaIue.
 Ready-to-SerVe meats help the cooks problem because they give substance to . meal which may iTl- clude c vegetable salad or quickly cooked hot vegetable dish, 1nez g. wilson, nome economist, points out. They may De used with the rem. nants of q roast, 50 that every bit may be utilized.
 There Is TO end to the attractive ways in which an assortment Of sliced cold meats cafl be served. Light and dark meats can be alter mated in c border around salad, Slices Of sausage can be rolled to form cornucoDiaS.

Shrimp Highly
 Nutritious

The shrimp is one Of the most popular of the many fine shclIfiSh we have available to is in Amer lea, both from taste and health points of view. It is highly con- centrated food having vitamins A and D, which are found in most fish, and in addition is particularly high in iodine content as well as other mineral matter.
 The Gulf of Mexico is our great. est source of this delicious geafood. Shrimp fishermen in Louisiana, Texas and Florida send their pro- duct to all sections Of the country by fast, refrigerated trucks. Oth- CT states are now developing their shrimp fisheries due to the great demand for this sheilfish. Only during the winter months is there 8 Iet-up in the supply but through modern freezing processes enough shrimp can be held over from the giut periods to take care of the months when the fresh supply is not heavy.
 Shrimp can serve as an appetiz- CT or as a main dish. Following Is a popular way of preparing this seafood.
 Plain Boiled Shrimp
 Use s pounds of green (fresh) shrimp and boiling liquid prepared as follows: quart water; 2 cups diced celery; I tablespoon whole black pepper; 3 2-3 teaspoons salt: 3 tablespoons chopped onion and 3 slices of lemon.
 Bring the water to a boil and add ali the ingredients except lemon. Allow to simmer while shrimp is being prepared (for ct least 30 minutes). While this Is cooking. peey the shrimp by breaking the under shell and opening from front to back. This will allow the meat to be removed in one piece. Re. move the dark sand vein from the center of the back of each shrimp.
