HONEYBEES NEVER B UZZ AROUND POISONOUS PLANTS

Saint aid Sinner By ANNE AUSTIN

The next day Bob Hathaway met Faith, by appointment, in a little tea shop. Over the sandwiches and tea. Bob finished his account' of the adventures of the day before, or rather the finale which Cherry and Faith had not been allowed to witness. "Os course I rushed out to that W. Tenth St. address, and found Lola Gonzales had skipped. We expected that, you know. But I found she had called for a Western Union messenger, and surmised that she had sent Alexander Cluny the carbons of the letters which she had hectored poor Cherry. So back to his office X hied myself and found my suspicions correct. He made no difficulty about turning over to me every scrap of paper connected with the whole nasty business —Pete’s reports. which Lola had typed out most beautifully, detailing every move that Cherry had made for weeks —ever since she announced her engagementj to Uncle Ralph, in fact —and the carbons of Lola’s letters to Cherry. Hei-e’s the lot.” He pressed a thick manilla envelope across the painted little table to Faith, who took it gingerly, as if it were unclean. fe "What shall I do with it?” Faith osked him. . "Give it to Cherry and tell her to, burn it. It may make her feel better to look it over and find out just how lucky she is that it hasn’t done any more harm than it has already. But if it were I, I should burn it without reading it. I looked the stuff over and I believe it’s all there, unless Alexander has copies locked away in his safe, to use as a club somehow in the future. Os course I had to take his word for it that he was turning it all over to me. Now —let’s order everything else on the menu and see if we can collect enough for a square meal. I’d like to see you take hold of this place for just a week, darling. I believe you’re the best cook in the world.” ‘‘You’re prejudiced,” Faith laughed. "I’m not an artistic cook at all; cooking for a family of six doesn’t make for artistry, you Know, especially when there’s no money for trimmings/ Madame Denise wants me to become her assistant and later nor partner as a modiste and you want me to turn a tea shop, but I have other plans.” She laughed softly, with a note of pure happiness which made him reach impulsively for he rhands. “I don’t want you to run a tea shop, except for two, and there’ll be a cook to help you. Oh, Faith, I don’t see how we’re going to manage if we have to meet like this! I've got to hold you in my arms at least once a day—” Those last words of his were still >inging in her heart when she let erself into the living room of the little Myrtle St. house.

“Oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t know you had a oaller, Cherry',” Faith tried to cross the living room as hastily and unobtrusively as possible, but her fleeting e-lance at. the newly decorated old wicker chair had registered a portrait of a tall and stately woman, of middle age successfully held at bay, a woman richly dressed, but strangely ill at ease. “Just a minute, darling,” Cherry’s most honeyed voice stopped her sister at the dining room door. “I’m so glad you came home in time to meet Mrs. Allbright. This Is my dear sister, Faith, Mrs. Allbright- Faith this is Mr. Cluny’s daughter, Mrs. Allbright;” “I’m very glad to know you, Mrs. Allbright,” Faith said composedly, her voice betraying no hint of the agitation which fluttered in her heart. “I have been explaining to er— Miss Lane,” Mrs. Allbright’s cold, gray eyes and the cold, mechanical even voice .matched her cold, pale smile upon her chastely rouged thin , lips, “that I should have called much sooner, to—er welcome her Into the family, but I have been so extremely busy preparing to go abroad. Mr. Allbright and I are taking my daughter, Muriel, to Switzerland, to place her in school. I am so sorry we shall not be here for the —er wedding.” Any reference to the forthcoming marriage puckered her lips as if they were tasting the acid of lan unripe persimmon. | “Isn’t it a shame. Faith?” Cherry demanded, with polite regret,- as she ; tweaked rather self-consciously at the hem of her short skirt which did , not cover her knees. “I was just telling Mrs. Allbright that I had . hoped Muriel could be one of my bridesmaids. Oh, you’re not leaving so soon, Mrs. Allbright? 1 know Mother will be very much disappolnted at not meeting you w Thanks so

much for calling. I shall be so glad when Muriel finishes school. I know we will have a lot in common. \ When the imposing Mrs. Allbright had taken her departure, solicitously sped on her way by the impudently gay and cordial Cherry, Faith waited in the living room for the flood of Cherry’s confidence and exultations. But it was a blazing-eyed Cherry who returned to face hex. "The old cat!” she cried. "I'd like to scrunch her! Whisking Muriel away so Ralph can't make her be my bridesmaid, and so they can get out of coming to the wedding! I’ll make ’em all eat dirt yet!” (To Be Continued) Next: Mr. Cluny makes a remarkable will in Cherry’s favor.

The WOMAN’S DAY ' -——“By Allene Sumner

PITY POOR IVI DOW The Woman Thou Gavest Me has been blamed for many things besides giving her spouse to eat a soifr crabapple plucked in the Garden of Eden. But the modern wife of this nation who "is just about getting fed up on being blamed for everything from a puctured tire to no starch in his /collars,” may be comforted by learning how much worse it might be. Widows of India are blamed because their husbands died. In order to expiate her crime, the widow of India used to perform “suttee,’* being burned to death in her husband’s funeral pyre. But the government has stopped that. Nowadays a widow must live, but lives a shunned, lonely and scorned life. Laws are easily made, but law won’t erase a prejudice centuries in the making quite so easily. MEAL IN THIRTY MINUTES Mrs. George Lyddon of Pearl River, N. Y., -won a speed-cooking contest in a recent Exposition of Women’s Arts and Industriv. The lady cooked a better meal in less than thirty minutes than any of her competitors in more time. By the way, the cook had only one arm. Mrs. Lyddon’s menu was tomato bisque soup, boiled chicken, French fried potatoes, string beans, tomato salad with cheese, peaches and ice cream sauce. . . WHO ENVIES HER? Funny thing about it is that few, if any, women envy this speed-cook. Although throughout the history of the race housekeeping has ever been the woman’s job, with women proud of their prowess in that line, things are no longer thus. Time was when a woman was complimented if the

Ladies’ Aid delegated her to bake all the cakes, or the "men folks” asked for "one more helping.” Nowadays many women belittle their housekeeping abilities and brag that they can’t boll water. Honestly, now, how many of you would brag if Mrs. Lyddon’s title of Country’s Speed Cook were yours? THE GUEST AND FIRESIDE “In memory of those early homes built by our Pilgrim fathers, and on behalf of the millions of homes represented in the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, I appeal to the nation to return once more to the custom of bringing the guest to one’s own fireside.” So pleads Mrs. John D. Sherman, president of the General Federation of "Women’s Clubs. She pleads further: "I appeal to the nation to make the Thanksgiving Day of 1926 a memorial to family life, to center it in that most American of all American institutions, the home; "To break the habit of public feasting with its noticeable lack of hallowed associations!

The Nagging Woman, the Sour, Pessimsftic Man Need Not Wonder Their Mates Are Looking for That Which Is Sweeter and Kinder. By Martha Lee Tien and women are like honey bees. It's natural for them to stray toward that which attracts by its sweetness.

It’s natural too, that having found that which is lovely or sweet .they keep returning—bees as well as men and women and they never voluntarily linger around a poison plant! The nagging woman, the sour, pessimistic man, need not wonder that their mates are looking and reaching to find that which Is sweeter, kinder. If your home is not a little love nest; if It is just a place In which you meet and find fault with the other members of the family, better change It. You are likely to find your restless mate returning happily to rest in the love you have put there. m Perhaps She Nags Him Pear Martha Lee: I am bo difwrußted with men. I feel that they are all alike. I have been married twice. and I thought this last man would surely bo different from the first one. but he is worße. if anything'. I am a neat housekeeper, if I do say it myself, and my husband just drives me wild with his sloppy ways. If r is always late for his meals and is always .rying to find an excuse to get out in the evenings. He is certainly a poor companion. and aside from having the rent and the grocery bill paid. I can t see that he is of any comfort to me. How shall I wake him up and make him realize what a poor stick of a husband he is? DISSATISFIED. "Well are you sure that you are awake to the kind of wife you are? I don't want to be harsh and I may misjudge you, but if your home carries the same atmosphere that your letter does, I believe I see some of the reasons that your husband is always “trying to find excuses to get out In the evenings.” What If your husband is disorderly and you can’t change his ways? He's only at home a few hours. Can't you let him be a little “sloppy”? You have many hours in which to

repair any damage he may do. By the way. Is that your home —or your and your husband's home? I feel sure that if you’ll realize he hits rights there as well as you you'll be happier and he'll stay at home more. He Does Not Understand Dear Martha Lee: I am a young man 18 years old. I have a cousin that 1 think as much of as If he were my brother. We've been pals. Recently he met a kirl and he claims to love her dearly, and he is acting in u wav f don't understand. Iff tell you what t mean. He canto over this summer and worked ill a greasy machine shop and denied himself pleasures to save money. He wouldn't even go jo shows he was so anxious to get some money ahead. Then what happened? He met this girl, and now what does lie do hut begin buying dills girl presents, taking his likrd earned money to do it with! Do you think that is sensible after he slaved all through hfs vacation period? I can t understand it at all. PAUL G. No one who is not in love understands it. You will, sometime, Paul. Have you ever watched a game whose rules j’ou didn’t understand? It almost invariably looks silly. It’s something like this when looking on at the game of love. Don’t pity your cousin. He’s get- , ting far more satisfaction in spending his hard-earned money on the girl he loves than hoarding it or spending it on himself. Moth Pests Dear Martha Lee: I wish you would advise us if there is any way of getting rid of moths. We have tried moth halls, disinfectant candles, etc., and nothing soenis to do any good. What causes them? MRS. MATTIE J. The best way to destroy moths is to get a sprayer at the drug store and disinfectant that is recoxnmend,ed for use In a. sprayer. Spray all the corners and cracks of your closets, and every few days until you get rid of them; repeat the process.

Spray the clothes that are not worn often and hung all your clothes in sunlight as often as you can.
