With this one easy design you
can make yourself a pretty complete
wardrobe of sports frocks both ac-
tive and spectator. AS you see it in
the large sketch, with square neck
line and puff sleeves, tiny-Waisted,
contrast-trimmed, and buttoned all
down the back like a little girls
pinafore it is exactly right for run
about and sideline wear. But also,
as shown in the little sketches, it is
perforated for jumpers and for
sleeveless, sunback frocks for active
sports wear.
The waistline, thanks to the sash
belt, is easily adjustable to give you
plenty of freedom for action. All
three versions of course are easy
to make and to iron-spread them
out fiat on the board-and extremely
becoming to Junior figures. Pique,
gingham, linen, sharkskin and
denim are practical for this.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:

The rubber casters on my baby's
crib have made black marks on the
nursery floor which I am unable to
remove with soap and water. Is
there any other substance that
could be used which would not mar
the finish? HELEN B.
Answer-Try a little turpentine or
benzine on cloth, and if the marks
do not come off easily rub them with
a little fine steel wool or some scour-
ing powder. When they are clean
you may wax them again to pre-
serve the finish. To prevent fur
ther marking, it might be a good
idea to place the four legs of the

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have always understood that
silver luSter was lost art, but I
saw a tea set the other day, made
in England, which was called silver
luster. Is this the same luSter that
was famous hundred years ago,
or an imitation? G.F.
Answer do not know Cnor would
I know where to find ouD just what
the mix was for the antique luSter.
However, 1 am informed that this
silver luster is made by a pottery
firm in England that has been max
ing it the same way for a great many
years, and it certainly does look the
same. The molds also are so like
the old ones that it would seem
reasonable to believe that they are.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I purchased a chest of drawers
which was supposed to be old and
gave it to refinisher to be mended
and refinished. There was a hole
in the panel on one side of the chest
which he has filled up with a sub
stance that looks like sealing wax.
Is this the accepted way of repair
ing a defect like this? I do not like
the appearance of it and would like
to know what else could be done
about it. H. S. A.
Answer-It sounds as though he
had used stick shellac for this pur-
pose. 1t would be difficult for me to
tell you without seeing the article
whether its use was right or wrong,
but you would be within your rights
to ask him to try some other method
if you feel that this method of mend
ing ruins the appearance of the chest.
Very often a piece of wood may be
set in, and If care is taken to match
the color and grain it is hardly no
ticeable.

very lovely piece ana would laSC 1Or'
some time, but I would like to feel
happier about it before investing in
it. The room faces south and east
and is about 18 by % feet.
MRS. E. D.
AnsWer-A room this size with a
boldly colored and patterned fabric
at three points in it is going to have
the wall space badly cut up. Also
the fact that the material is striped
will make the room seem even
smaller. Can't the family compro-
mise and have draperies which will
blend into the wall color and then
use a swag or valance of the stronger
color across the top of the windows?
Another point against deep bur-
gundy is that it is warm color and
this room must be very light and
sunny. With the advent of sum-
mer, this color will seem very heavy.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
Do you think slip covering small
tables and chests is a wise plan for
the summer? K. H. G.
Answer-There might be reason
for slip covering a small table to
cover up bad or outmoded design
which would be wise" but other
than that I fail to see the wisdom
A room with too many slip covers
has tendency to look shrouded, and
other than guarding against a few
scratches I cannot see that much is
to be gained. There are the heavy
felt table covers of the Regency
period with fringe that just skins
the floor, and the plaid table covers
of the Victorian era which are fash
ionable, but they certainly are not
cool looking, and unless used for the
quaint charm they offer, they might
better be avoided for summer.

| way.
"Tm glad you think So" said
Mark. He wondered if she knew
how glad.
Valerie was filled with alter
nate shivers of delight and dread
at the thought of Shirley's party.
She loved to dance, and the pros
pect of going off alone just to be
amused was stupendous. She re-
layed Shirley's invitation to Lucy,
! who wisely declined it. Lucy tele-
phoned Shirley when Valerie was
out of hearing. "You're sweet to
ask me-" she said ''but think |
shan't come. You'll understand
how it is. I've been longing for
her to know children her own
age. But I didn't know just how
to go about it"
81 wish you'd told me-" Shir-
lley's voice came back warmly
''rd love to help, whenever I can

some day soon. There are some
! things I might be able to tell
you"
Something in her tone made
Lucy agree eagerly. I'D love it,
she said. Call me when you
want me. And do make it soon.
Valerie went off in state, driv-
en- by Catlet. She looked rather
like a pale pink cloud in he1
flesh-colored dancing frock, with
a tiny string of pearls about her
throat.
It wasn't until Chiltern an

was early September, and sum
mer was still in the air. Lucy
wore white, and her eyes werf
dark under the gold of her hair
| It was the purest gold MARI
had ever seen. Neither platinum
nor honey, but the color of al
old FURNISHED coin. It lay il
smooth waves against her little
head, and Mark found himself
suddenly longing to touch it. Thu
gold of Ellen's hair had been pale
and exquisite, and her eyes a cur
ious, almost purple blue. But thu
gold on this girls head was like
a crown.
.! Lucy rested him just because
! she had missed beauty by thu
interest fraction. Her skin was de
licate and white, and the contras
of her eyes and hair would al
ways set her a little apart. Taker
one by one, her features were
charming. Assembled, they some
how lacked the intangible quail
ty of beauty.

| table in the dining room, he went
back to Lucy by the library fire
The contrast, between the
laughing young mob he had left
| and golden-haired Lucy in her
peach-colored frock, waiting in
the quiet room, struck him so that
he stopped in the doorway to en-
Joy it. He detached himself from
the domesticity he had come to
take so happily for granted, and
looked at the scene as a stranger
might.
Lucy glanced up and caught
the slight self-consciousness with
which he came toward her. She
smiled at him, and everything
swung into place again. He pulled
out her chair and Alice came in
and began to serve their dinner.
From the dining room on the 9TH
err side of the great hall young
laughter rose distantly.
They were just finishing their
coffee, with a very special old IL
quer in honor of the day when to
their dismay, the draphries at
the library door were pushed
aside to reveal Elise in slim black
velvet, white ermine cloak off
her very bare shoulders. She
stood without speaking, her sui
try eyes on the domestic scene
before her.
$50 there you are" she said at
last. Her voice broke little shril-
| " as she came into the room.
Mark got to his feet. He did a
mental leap after his vanishing
sense of hospitality. The woman
was in his house. 1t was almost
as hard to remember as when he
was a child, with unwanted
guests thrust on him. Since she
/ had met him at the factory gates
Wide Acres had been mercifully
free of Elise. AS a matter OF fact
he had almost completely forgot
ten her.
She barely nodded to Lucy, whe
could scarcely believe that she
Twas there. When Shirley had re-

CHAPTER x
Synopsis

After Mark AleXander'S beautl-
full wife, Ellen died, her whole
family became interested in Va
lerie, Ellen's daughter by a for
mer marriage, and in the trust
fund left Valerie. All are anxious
to adopt Waterfall save Shir-
ley, but Mark will have none OF
it. Mark hires Lucy Tredway to
tutor Valerie and keeps Lucy in
the house, much to Elise's dismay.
Elise meets Mark at the office
and drives home with him, criti-
Ching Lucy all the way. Mark
leaves her at her door and drives
on, half amused, half disguised.
He turned in at his own gates
feeling as if he had escaped from
something. He found Shirley,
wrapped in the white bath coat,
just getting into her car. Lucy
and Valerie stood together, in
their swimming suits, by the run
ming board.
Valerie cried out when she saw
him, and ran to kiss him, stand
ing carefully bowed, not to get
him wet. "Oh-we missed your

of the lodge, shut off the engine
and sat looking at him. He looked
