Cup Playoffs
Start Today

Hockey's world series-the play
offs for the Stanley Cup-get under
way tonight with capacity crowds
anticipated at Montreal and Detroit.
At Montreal the championship
Canadiens, seeking to repeat their
1914 Stanley cup triumph, entertain
the third place Toronto Maple
Leafs. At Detroit the second place
Red Wings play host to the fourth
place Boston Bruins who barely
beat the Chicago Blackhawks and
the New York Rangers for a play
off berth. Each series will contin-
ue until one team gets eight points
two for a win, one for tie. The
winners then meet in the final
series on a similar point basis.
The Montreal-Toronto series
promises TO be fiery. The clubs
are bitter rivals and tempers are
frequently short when they meet.
\ year ago Toronto won the first
game in an upset, but then lost the
next four.

looked into them, he'd see that she

then dropped his glance to hers.

Was he laughing at her? Daphne
felt guilty, and knew he knew it.
So she confessed: yes"
He looked up again, stared about
the ceiling for some time, and said
nothing. Suddenly the doorbell
rang furiously.
Three or four people arrived, and
then three or four more, and soon
Daphne was too busy introducing
people, seeing that wraps were put
away, etc, to let herself explode
over Steve's stoical indifference to
the mistletoe tradition.
Anyway, Daphne decided, about
ten minutes later, that she would
not allow herself to be angry with
DR.. Fenwick. 1t wasn't his fault
that he didn't feel that way about
mistletoe. Shed go on working
with him, continuing to offer him
the friendship of which he was SC
rightly suspicious, and from this
moment on she'd try to forget her
tender feelings. But right now, she
felt it would be easier if he were not
in the same room with her.
That wish was a pale replica OF
itself when Alan-nothing less thar
breath-taking in his uniform-ar'
rived at half-past six and, unmind-
full of all the others, took her in hi'
arms, gave her a squeeze, a big-g-l
kiss, broadcasting "Darling!" in
decorating tone.
Daphne had hoped for a httl,
/. mild ardor, but when she released
herself and saw Steve's eyes on her
she was truly appalled,.

Bill Flash" Hollett's high-scor-
ing record against Boston has boil
stored the confidence of the Detroit
club in their ability to eliminate
the Bruins. Against his former
teammates, the Wings defense
man has whipped in nine of So
goals Detroit has made against the
Bruins this season. Most of them
came at crucial times. In addition
he has made seven assists against
the Bruins.
The fact that the Bruins failed
to beat the Wings in 10 meetings
this season and the fact that Bos-
ton has not won on Detroit ice since
Jan. 3, 1913, emphasize the reason
why the Wings are favored.

CHAPTER TwENTY-oNE

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
The dining room was directly be-
low the meditative tapping Of her
toe. Daphne could see it in her
minds eye: The big cherry wood
table covered with her spidery Mil
anese lace cloth. The center piece
Of red camellias and white carna-
tons. The white tapers in silver
candelabra. Her exquisite Orrefors
crystal cleaning in the light, the
stacks of Royal Worcester plates,
her grandmother thin silver.
All day long the aroma of cook
ing foods had mingled with the
sharper smells of pine and spruce,
and burning logs, making an en-
ticing thing with which to fill a
house. There would be a pale pink
ham in a fruit glaze, and smoked
turkey, and delectable things bub-
bling in the chatting dishes, fresh
lobster in white wine, and creamed
oysters. Tiny potatoes were in
cream and busted with chives, and
there was cucumber and pineapple
in a shimmering emerald green
Jelly, and pots of cheese-in-wine,
and silver shells filled with buttered
nuts and bonbons.
Later there would be tiny cakes
crusted with crystallized rose and
violet petals, and pistachio ice
cream in raspberry ice, and tiny
cups of hot, black coffee. 1t was
all "really very simple" as she had
told Steve As unpretentious as
though she we're expecting the
Secretary of State and all the
South American ambassadors tc

Downstairs there was slight pan
demonium; the younger Chocolate
