MANY ¥ /MILDRED BAKBQUK

CONCERNING THE ACTION AND CHARACTERS UIA LATHAM becomes the bride of HERBERT WARE, but the picture of an old sweetheart, CAPTAIN JACK FARQUAHAR, lurks In her mind. She confides her plight to her best friend, DOROTHY CAINE, an artists. A mysterious letter awaits Lila at Dorothy’s studio, and it brings back memories of the war to her. On returnng from her honeymoon, he is told that a communication from the War Department is awaiting her. In a flash, she is back in the past. Memories of her first meeting with Captain Farqnahar, when she was doing war work, come to her. She sees again the scene In a little French inn—a dinner to celebrate her. .marriage on the morrow to Jack—then orders, that very night, sending his regiment to the front at once. There Is no wedding, but, before Jack’s brother officers. Lila promises him that rhe will wait for him—that they will be married when he returns, no matter what time intervenes. Jack leaves and, three days later, is reported missing. But he is not officially reported dead until five years latter. It is only then that Lila feels herself free to marry Herbert. The letter from the War Department tells her that Jack’s insumnce is to be paid to her as his fiancee. Later, Herbert sees Lila being interviewed by a man who has called in regard to the insurance. She tells him the man is a suitor of Dorothy’s and that •he is urging him to cease his unwelcome attentions. Herbert’s unsympathetic attitude—for he is jealous of Lila’s friendship with Dorothy—almost causes a quarrel. To make amends, he buys her a bracelet and puts it in her jewel-case, .as a surprise. There he sees a ring—a diamond circlet that looks like a weddlng.ring. ... . . He asks for an explanation, and she says the ring belongs to a friend, MRS. \TAIfcNE Y. 'She explains further that Mrs. Varney gave her the ring, against her protests, as security for a bridge debt. Herbert believes her story. After vnis lull, the sight of a certain man in a shop throws Lila into a panic. He is GILROY HOLMES, an army efficer whom she knew in France, and a witness to her pledge to Jack. Lila’s next move, since Jack’s war insurance has been paid to her, is to give it to a fund for disabled veterans. Although •he makes the gift an anonymous one, a woman in the office of the organization reveals her identity. Herbert, meanwhile, meets Mrs. Varney in a restaurant and the talk turns to Jewelry. She tells him she loves rings—except wedding rings. They are a, badge of servitude. Herbert furious at Lila, rushes hom to demand an explanation, Dorothy, who is with Lila when he arrives, tells him the ring is Mrs. Varney’s, that it was given her by a French nobleman to whom she was engaged. In compliance with her family’s wishes, the engagement was broken.

CHAPTER XVII A Frightening Discovery SEVERAL weeks passed without the tiniest ripple to mar the tranquillity of the young Wares. They were gorgeously and triumphantly happy In each other. “Wasn’t It curious, Dot,” Lila remarked one day, “how everything happened at once? The Jackson episode and the ring and all that? Why whole life has been that way—never a summer shower, but a deluge. Thank Heaven, this one’s over I” Dorothy, who was standing at her easel, palette poised in one hand, motioned with the other toward a hideous, grinning god of carved jade above her fireplace. “Don’t let him hear you I The Chinese claim that he brings boasters to their undoing.” “Poof!” scoffed Lila. “I’m not afraid of your Chinese god. Love is stronger than superstittion." She went away, carrying that thought with her. “Love is stronger than anything in all the world,” she said to herself. Therefore, her love for Herbert was stronger than the forces that had seemed to threaten it. “And it will always be the same! It will never change!” thought Lila. She was surprised to find Herbert already at home. “Why didn’t you tell me you’d be early, darling? I wouldn’t have stayed so late at Dot’s,” she said, as she lifted her lips for his kiss. n n n THERE followed several ecstatic moments, after which Herbert asked, jealously: “Why do you spend so much time at Dorothy’s? Really, Lila, an artist’s studio seems to me hardly the place to pass every afternoon when you have so many social duties as my wife.” Lila pressed a gentle finger against his lips. “Don't be cross, darling, and I’ll mix you anew cocktail. Much better than any Siddons can make.” “You learned to make it at Dorothy’s, I presume?” he remarked, with lifted brows.

Crystal found Tony just returned from her Sunday visit to the Ross family of Myrtle street, where the Tarvers had lived before Pat had made his money on a lucky invention. And, as too frequently happened, Tony and her mothere were quarreling. or rather, Mrs. Tarver was quarreling and Tony was trying to Boothe her without giving an inch. "But, Peg, darling, why do you mind my going to see the Rosses? Sandy is my very oldest and dearest friends. .. . Oh, hello, Crys! You find us at it again. “I had dinner with Pop and Mom Ross and Sandy. Gorgeous fried chicken and deep-dish apple pie. Peg’s fussed about it. It. seems that I had six telephone calls from highly eligible young men, including Dick Talbot, and Peg thinks I should have shed the sunshine of my smile upon one of them, or maybe all of them, and then she’d have been accusing me of turning the house into a young men’s club—” In epite of her banter, Tony was obviously near to tears. "A fine way to talk to your mother!” Mrs. Tarver §niffed and reached for her handkerchief, a gesture that never failed to bring Tony to her knees. "Aw, Peg. don’t get your feelings hurt!” she begged. “But, honestly, I don’t see why we have to go through this scene every time I have Sunday dinner with the Rosses. "I know you aren’t a snob, that you love and admire Mrs. Ross Just as much as when she was your best neighbor on Myrtle street. My Peg couldn’t be a snob!” Mrs. Tarver left the living room then, cheered but still resentful.

“Heavens, no. Dot doesn’t drink!” said Lila. "Then may I ask who it is—” Herbert was beginning, but she cut him short with a swift embrace and a delighted laugh. “You goose! I always made cocktails for Dad at home. He has a book of recipes. Darling, I adore you when you’re jealous!” Sipping his cocktail, Herbert remarked: “Oh, by the way, Varney is coming to dine tonight. His wife’s out of town for a few days, and we’re taking this evening to go over some business matters; we’ve been planning a deal together. It won’t bore you, will it?” “Not in the least,” declared Lila, with a sneaking hope that the two men would keep to business affairs and away from the subjects of wives and matrimony. “Anyway, she thought. “Herbert wouldn’t be so crude as'to mention that ring to Jack Varney, after what Dot told him.” nun QHE dressed in one of her prettiest dinner gowns and saw to the flowers herself. She wanted Herbert to feel that she took as much interest In his business dinners as in the bright social affairs over which she loved to preside. She loved gaiety, music, laughter and dancing; they went out, or entertained, nearly every night. Herbert said that, when the season was over, they must begin to stay at home more; he wanted to catch up on reading and sleep. The dinner for Jack Varney was excellent. The Wares had a French chef, and he had outdone himself on this particular night. Varney ate with gusto, and then he said:

How Bright Is Your Baby?

Not all babies creep. Some babies walk without ever creeping. They sit still until they are ready to get up and walk. Most babies strengthen the muscles of the trunk and legs and arms by creeping. Babies get over the floor in different ways. Place a cross (x) before the ways your baby gets about or used to get about before he learned to walk. Then look at the key. 1. Did he roll over and over? Yes? . No? 2. Did he roll half over, then Yes? sit up, and so on? No? 3. Did he move backward Yes? before he moved forward? No? 4. Did he “sit alone,” that is move over the floor by Yes? "hitching” himself? No? 5. Could he manage his arms Yes? better than his legs? No?, 6. Did he use his legs to get Yes? himself over the floor? No? 7. Did he creep on his hands Yes? and knees? No? 8. Did he creep on his hands Yes? and feet? No?

Key to Questions

Not all babies do every one of these "stunts.” Some babies do none of them. If a baby is going to creep, he will be going on his hands and knees at 10 months and on his hands and feet at 11 or 12 months. Next we will see how baby takes to walking without learning how.

Tony seized Crystal’s hands and sueezed them excitedly. "Oh, Crys, I can see that you pulled it off! He proposed, didn’t he? What’s his name? Pablo Valencio! Someone ought to put that name to music! Tell me all about it!” They seated themselves on a sofa, their hands still clasped. Crystal thought rapidly, "I didn’t know I was looking so happy!” Then aloud: "I—l tried to make him give me up, Tony, but he refused so heartbrokenly that I simply could not keep from promising to see him again . . „ “Tony. I know now how you feel about Dick Talbot—about his being so good-looking and all. Pablo is so devastating to look at that my hear simply melts and runs into my shoes.” Tony nodded, her eyes dreamy. “I know. That’s the way Dick makes me feel. But I don’t want to marry him, and you’d marry Pablo in a minute if he’d ask you.” Crystal stiffened with well-feigned dignity. “I said I would not marry him and hamper his career, even \f he asked me. It was on the tip of his tongue to ask me today, but I kept him from doing it. “I couldn’t bear to refuse him, and since he’s so poor—l found out today,” she interpolated truthfully, "that he is dreadfully poor. I’d only guessed it before. “A young painter, you know, could hardly be anything else, unless his parents had money, and Pablo has no people. It’s hopeless!” and she shrugged dramatically. “But what are you going to do, Crys?” Tony demanded, all sympathy. "Couldn’t you marry him and go on working?” she asked hopefully. (To Be Continued.)

“If May only liked this sort of food, I’d be a happy man. But she’s got the foolish slant that the high seasoning of foreign food is put there to hide something. Os course, she’s never been abroad,” he added, with a shrug, and rambled on, dilating on the excellence of the French cruisine; .but young Mr. Ware, at his end of the table, glowered In silence at young Mrs. Ware, who flushed and bit her scarlet underlip. Just before they rose to partake of coffee in the library, Herbert’s eyes questioned Lila, mutely, but eloquently. They said plainly: “And what’s this rigmarole that Dorothy Caine told about May Varney’s foreign romance?” Lila’s answer was a finger on her lips and a warning glance toward the happy and unconscious Varney. With that, she led the way to the library, thankful that the necessary discussion of Dorothy’s story would be postponed for a while, at least. But her brain was busy with a plausible explanation as she poured the coffee. She was filling Herbert’s cup when her straying attention was caught by Varney’s heavy voice: “Yes, I think you’ve a find In that new man, Herb.” “He’s not a New Yorker. He has no clients of his own,” Herbert objected. “Never mind. He’ll whip Into shape. You mavk my words. What’s his forget?” “Gilroy Holmes!” The sugar-tongs slipped from Lila’s fingers and fell with a crash, sending the broken fragments of a cup and a flood of hot coffee Into the hearth-rug.

BY FABYAN MATHEY There are no trumps, and South has the lead. North and South must win four of the five tricks, against a perfect defense. nun I AY out the cards on a table, as J shown in the diagram. Study the situation and see if you can find a way for North and South to win four tricks. The solution Is printed elsewhere on this page.

The Solution

THE object in this problem is to establish, with minimum loss, the strongest suit. South leads a small club, which West wins with the king. Thereafter, any lead by West will give North and South a trick in spades, one in hearts and two in clubs. If West prefers not to play the king of clubs on the first trick, North then plays he queen. North next leads any card, South taking a trick each in spades, hearts and clubs. The essential point In this problem is that South open with the small club. The problem also suggests another point, and one known among all good bridge players. Almost invariably, when the ace and queen are in separate hands, and the king-jack-ten with the opponents, lead the ace and then a small card up to the queen. Or, as in this case, where the hand containing the queen has only one additional card of the suit, lead a small card up to the queen before leadin gthe ace. By following this rule, the chances of making two tricks in the suit are considerably greater than if a finesse, or any other means, is attempted. (Copyright, 1928. NEA Service, Inc.)
