Diana goes to a dance, wor dering if Scott w ill be there NOW GO ON WITH THE STORYCHAPTER SIXTEEN EVERY one, apparently, was at the College Club dance. The ballroom floor was crowded, almost suffocatingly, thought it boasted one of the largest dancing areas In town. It was a highly successful dance. There was good music. Scores of pretty gii s. Whispered compliments. More than enough men. An air of delightful festivity. Scanning the crowd, Dana saw Paula Long several times, but she failed to find Scott among the dancers. Apparently he hadn't come after all. It made all the difference, most of the buoyancy left her mood. "It's hot in here,” she said. ‘‘Let's go outside for a moment.” Roger, dancing with her, smiled. Sometimes a suggestion to go outside meant the girl was inviting a bit of flirting. Dana, through the weeks he had known her, hadn't seemed that kind of girl. Rather the opposite. But then you never could tell. They went out on the porch. And suddenly, there was Scott leaning against a post, smoking. Dana put a hand on Roger's arm. The hand trembled a little. “Let's go back,” she whispered. ‘‘l feel better now-.” "You don't look better,” Roger retorted. “You look all in. What you need is something to pick you up. Let's go downstairs and find it." They were quile near ihe figure leaning carelessly against the porch pillar. Dana, her heart throbbing violently, ran up the red flag of courage and recklessness. "Fine,” she agreed, with what she hoped was a nonchalant inflection. The man against the post moved suddenly, barring their way. “I think this is our dance, Dana,” Scott said, with such cold intensity that Roger was backing off awkw'ardly before he realized it. "Sorry, Sorry,” Roger said. "See yo i soon.” tt tt a THERE was a moment of silence after Roger had gene. Then Dana said firmly: "It isn't our dance and you know' it." "When little girls start being silly," Scott answered coolly, "it’s necessary to do something about it.” "When did you qualify as my protector?" Dana's voice was trembling. "I can't see that you've got a right to interfere. I’m not a little girl, and I’m able to take care of myself. I don't care for your interference—” Her voice broke. "I gathered as much from your grandmother,” Scott said. "She madj it pretty plain." "Made what plain?” Dana's amazed eyes mat his. Scott bent slightly, holding her gaze. Then he straightened. "I guess there’s a little matter to be cleared up between us,” he said. There was a note in his voice that stirred Dana strangely. "Get your coat. Never mind—you can use mine,” Scott linked his arm through hers, closed his hand over hrr hand. Dana found herself walking with him along the side drivew’ay. They located his car and Scott took off his coat and placed it about Dana's shoulders, against her protest. "Even if I were not a doctor I'd know what night driving in an outfit like that would do for you,” he said. "I never seem to meet you in a conventional mood." Dana said. Scott smiled. “I'm not a conventional person.” "So I've discovered. I’m always running away with you, or you’re picking me up and running aw-ay with me. And then," her voice faltered a little, "you’re running away from me.” "Sent away.” "No," Dana objected, “you just stopped without a word. Without even telephoning, or waiting, or dropping by to say you would be busy, And what do you mean, anyway. by saying my‘grandmother— ?” Her voice broke treacherously. Tears rolled down her cheeks. tt tt a SCOTT guided the car expertly to the side of the drive where a willow conveniently dropped a protecting screen. He took Dana in his arms and they kissed while the world spun around them; With Dana’s soft white cheek pressed agains his hard, tanned cne, Scott said, “You didn't know the old lady was sending me away? She had some idea I couldn’t afford you. Just the same, were getting married, aren't we?" "Os course,” Dana said happily. “It will be a hard pull.” Scott's voice was sober. "Not much of a life I'm offering you. We're going to be poor as hell, honey." "W’hat do I care?” said Dana with the recklessness of young love. "You fight regret it,’ Scott argued. "You might not be able to stand that sort of life." "All I know is that I can't stand not being with you." Dana whispered. "I want to be with you always, Scott. I don't care how poor we are.” There was only one way to answer. After a while Scott said. "We could be married tonight as well as any other time. Things won’t be any different as far as money is concerned for a long while." "I don't want to wait, anyway.” "I would be sort of a blow beneath the belt to carry you off tonight.” Scott mused. "I guess you and better go back to your grandmother and hear all the horrible things she'll tell you about me. Then we can be married tomorrow. Maybe that's taking a risk, but I've got to have you with your eyes open." "Nothing that any one could say would make any difference." Dana's eyes were twin pledges. Then went back to the dance then. Dana felt as though she were floating over the floor. Scott cut in now and then and they danced almost without words, unaware of their surroundings, unaware of any-

■ thing except their own ecstatic hapj piness And then, at last, it was time to igo home. Dana said good night to Roger, smiling mysteriously. If Roger only knew! Tomorrow by this time she’d be Mrs. Scott Stanley! B B B LYING awake in the darkness, Dana's was lost in her soaring ' thoughts. Drifting at last into a deep sleep, she was awakened by a scented breeze from the garden and the sun warm against her face. Outside there was the insistent clamor of birds. Then she remembered! It was all exactly as it should he on one's wedding morning. Dana was wide-awake now, deliciously wide-awake. She dressed quickly and went downstairs. Sarah told her some oi>j had railed and left a number. Dana did not recognize the number, but she dialed it, heard Scott’s voice, groaning: “It’s nearly 9 and here ! you arc just out of bed! What sort of wife have I picked out, i anyway?” "I promise to make it up in lots of other ways.” Dana said. "What are you doing?” "Preparing to dash over to see j you. Have you told the old lady?” "No. I haven’t had time. I'm .just ready to do it now.” “You'll probably need reinforceI ments.” "No.” valiantly. “I don’t need reinforcements." "I'm off to get the license,” came Scott’s blithe voice. "Don’t let me down, darling!” "I'll never let you down.” Dana promised, her lips close to the hard. | metallic instrument. And then she ventured daringly, "Darling!” There was a sound close by. Dana I said, "Good-by.” huskily. The phone ; clicked, shutting off Scott’s reas- : suring voice. Dana faced her I grandmother. "What did you mean by rein- | forcements?” Mrs. Cameron demanded. “I never heard such silly chatter. And what do you mean by calling some young man ‘Darling’ ! over the telephone?” Mrs. Cameron’s voice was stirred by excitement and anxiety, j "The telephone happened to be ! the only place at the time,” Dana ! said slowly. "Such impudence!" Dana still stood bv the telephone. A slight figure, trembling a little, preparing to face the storm she was about to invoke: "I'm going to be married today. Grandmother.” Dana said simply, “to Scott Stanley.” (To Be Continued.) Socks Appeal to Men for Color, Variety BY WALTER C. PARKES Socks that won’t shrink; socks that won't scratch, and socks that will stay up without garters share the socks market news of the hour with anew orgy of chromomania that makes every current men’s hosiery display one of eye-pleasing color. Your favorite vista of frost-tinted maples is reflected in the randomspaced nubs of rich red and yellow that sparkle on herringbone backgrounds of woodland brown. Stylists have plundered the plumage of | gamebirds to give you warm oranges, browns and greens that make bronzy glints through small-figured I all-over patterns. Last spring saw the Scotch ; Highlands fling a basket of plaid ever the sock situation. It threatened to smother all competitive patterns for a long time. Men still plead for plaids, and they show I prominently in all current lines. Ingenuity Shown The Argyll tartan leads, both in ! pure form and in variations that ! testify to the designers’ ingenuity I rather than their respect for | authenticity. Loud color contrasts j are both popular and many fastselling numbers look like diagrams of the growth of the Red Menace, i Despite the continued dominance |of plaids, however, small all-over patterns have a strong foothold, and | their early season popularity may presage a sweeping rout of the Scotchies and stripes that rule the | roost. Barleycorn figures, tiny checks and designs reminiscent of Macclesfield cravat silks are prominent among the all-over effects. One ! reason for the good reception given all-over patterns is that they harmonize so well with similar patterns popular for fall and winter suit fabrics. Os the striped patterns still in demand, horizontai stripes run rings around their vertical brothers. These crosswise stripes range from thin hairlines to blazer-bold bars of violently contrasting colors. New Knitters Are Used Lisle, silk-and-wool, and pure wool are, of course, favored for fall over silk, The good old 6x3 rib is a perennial leader in these materials no matter what happens to be the current fad. Formerly standard in plain colors and clocked effects, it has now entered the patterned group by grace of some new English machines which knit 6x3 ribs in allover designs and stripes. Socks made with tops of two-way stretch washable elastic will remain in place without other support, and look like a dire threat to the order of the garter. Am# if this news doesn't make you stand up in your stocking feet and cheer, perhaps i you’ll agree that the millennium has arrived when word comes that jolly old Britain really is producing socks that won’t shrink, and. maybe bet- ] ter yet, won't scratch!

1935 Christmas Cards Get a New Deal

(Cards f"om McCreery. New York)

Christmas cards reflecting this season’s trend toward simplicity and dignity include, from left to right (top row), a silver Santa Claus and a silver moon on a blue background, a snow mar: with “Merry Christmas” on his red and white checked scarf, and a white felt-like card with green trees and a red roofed house. In (he center row are a snow man and his wife on a red background, five Scotties with silver bows, and a smaller white card with a kitten and a ball of real cotton nestled together in a red shoe. In the bottom row' are simple white bells with silver cut-out clappers silhouetted on a red card (left). A sweet little doll with pigtails sits in a red chair on a white background (center). A white candle with a red flame shining brightly forms the “T” in the motto on the bright red card (right).

BY MARIAN YOUNG 'T'HIS is a year to say “Merry Christmas” in the simple, oldfashioned way. In place of modernistic cards in strange blues or heliotrope with smart aleck verses and futuristic designs, greeting card manufacturers are presenting downright sentimental cards in red and white and green and silver, or starkly neat, well-bred looking ones that wish the recip-

scrolls of old. In this category soft blues are prevalent. tt a a TF you want something gay, -*• you’ll like the new Santa Claus cards, some showing the genial old man with a beard of real cotton. Skyscraper scenes, the up-to-date versions of the old roof-top theme, are extremely nice. Beguiling maidens in chic modern millinery are delicate and attractive. Animal lovers, of course, will head straight for cards decorated with kittens which are shown skiing, sliding and skating as well as purring snugly by the fireside. These furry little things are more in evidence than the Scotties with which we've been swamped for the the past few years. However, Scotties and amusing terriers are still present. Then, too, squirrels, monkeys, penguins, elephants and polar bears appear in fine array. For one who has his greeting cards made to order, a photograph or sketch of his home or one of his children and their dog are the best ideas. Either of these can be reproduced on the cover of a booklet, leaving the inside leaves for a message, long or brief. tt a u SPEAKING of long messages, Christmas stationery is much in demand. White or eggshell note paper, decorated with small sprigs of holly or mistletoe, is a good investment for one who answers letters and writses to old classmates only once a year. Holly, poinsettias. candles, make popular designs. A plain white poinsettia blossoms is a best seller. A square white booklet showing a silver holly spray in silhouette card bearing a single spray of against circle of white and green with the simple green lettering “ ’Tis Christmas! ” is a good one. A large square of simulated cork (this is big news) with holly spray, the green metallic leaves of which are appliqued on, promises to be a favorite, too.

People Continue to Have Babies Because Thev Feel Credits Outweigh Debits It Is Impossible Beforehand to Tell Whether Children Will Add to or Detract From Well-Being, Jordan Replies to Woman. I* there question in toot mind which ron would like to hrinr in for discussion? Put it in s letter to Jane Jordan and read her answer in this column. Dear Jane Jordan—My husband and I have been married several years and so far have been contented and happy. We can't decide whether or not we should have children. We both love children while they are small but don’t care for them after they are grown. Os course that may be because they aren't our own. We know children are sweet and cunning and that you could have some very enjoyable hours with

them. We know there would be times when we were very proud of them, and that later in life they would be a great help and comfort to us. But we also have been looking at the responsibility, worry and heartaches besides the physical strength and patience you have to go through with it. My husband's salary is only moderate and I couldn't give children what I really wanted for them. So our question is: Is the joy and comiort of parenthood really worth the responsibility? Will children help make our older years more stable? J. M. N. Answer—Any generalization on the question is worthless. Individual answers are equally valueless for each person would reply from the peaks of his own success or the depths of his personal bitterness and you have no way of knowing whether your experience would coincide with his or not. No one can foresee whether

children would add to or detract from your well-being. You won't know yourself until you have had the experience. No honest, emotionally healthy parent will claim that children are an unalloyed blessing or that the relation between parent and child is ideal. Those who make extravagant claims in regard to their love for children maj be suspected of leading starved lives in other directions, or of over-compensating for their guilt in secretly harboring the opposite feeling. The most devoted parent is unable to sacrifice his personal comforts, pleasures and satisfactions without ever feeling a smidgeon of resentment toward the child who caused the sacrifice. The responsibility, effort and anxiety connected with the rearing of children is bound to interfere at times with the parent’s own pleasure-seeking tendencies. Even where there is plenty of money to provide adequate care and ample advantages for the offspring, the child often is a nuisance. His boundless, undirected energy, the difference of his point of view, his utter disregard of the conventions of civilized living is bound to upset the tranquillity and comfort of the adults who live with him. Yet people go on having children and honestly believing that it is worth while to do so. What resentment it presents meets a powerful counter impulse in the growth of parental love which comes from contact with and care for the child. As time passes, the parent becomes adjusted to the inconveniences of the situation and inhibits the greater portion of his annoyance. When the parent succeeds in identifying himself with the child without too strong a sense of ownership, he takes the same pleasure in its achievements as if they were his own. In his old age he finds compensation for the waning of his personal capacity by following the career of his children with the same emotional response originally felt toward himself. Morover, if he is able to provide them, he may enjoy benefits, advantages and pleasures vicariously through the child which were denied to him. The parent who is able to make this adjustment, who also has the ability to loosen parental control as the years roll by, has enriched his life beyond measure. A more subtle and less readily recognized form of satisfaction is to be found in the fact that children and their descendants are the nearest approach to immortality within actual grasp of the human mind. Therefore, when the altruistic love of a parent for his child becomes fused with his dearest and deepest wish to prolong his own life, we have the highest and most powerful incentive for a socially satisfactory life open to the human being.

Foreign Housewives Show Fine Taste in Glasses, Silverware

Christmas, with its festive boards, always presents a problem in table decorations, appropriate glass and 'diver, so that at this time of year ♦here is new interest in the way foreign housewives settle the matter. In Sweden, for instance, the question of glassware is hardly a question at all. For years Swedish manufacturers have turned out the most beautiful modern glass, on a mass production basis and at a cost so low that even the humblest home can have drinking glasses, wine goblets, beer glasses in lovely design. Makers Heed Taste Every Swedish housewife, it seems, has the good taste to use these fine products, but that taste has been carefully nurtured over decades and has just in the last fifteen years manifested itself so strongly that manufacturers have been willing to heed it. Silver for the holidays offers no problem to the Danish housewife. If she is wise, she has long ago provided her tableware from the handmade silver shops of Georg Jensen, who gave up his career as sculptor because there was no sale for statues and turned to making silverware for a living. Jensen believed that good silver could be beautiful as well as useful, and as a result his silver has tha strength of simplicity and the beauty that only an artists can impart. The discriminating housewives of

Denmark beat a path to the doors of his shop, and Jensen soon found that he had an international as well as national reputation. This led him 12 years ago to open a shop in New York, where his simple, beautiful designs have won real favor. Tend to Warm Colors In Norway the family silver chest more likely than not contains a set of spoons in fine Norwegian enamelware, noted for its good design and its truly Northern tendency to warm colors. An Oslo goldsmith, J. Tostrup, began making enamelware in the 1880 sand since his time its manufacture has becofne a really Norwegian industry. Not only do'housewives pride themselves on their beautiful spoons of enamelware, but they also treasure it in jewelry, in brooches, bracelets, trays and backs for the handies of brushes. William H. McGaughey, New York, and Miss Mary Jane McGaughey, student at De Pauw University, are to arrive Friday to spend the holidays with their mother, Mrs. Martha McGaughey.

Muscles of Back Show Age Clearly When They Become Stiff Woman’s Years Are Easy to Ascertain. BY ALICIA HART “They say a woman is as old as she looks, but I have a theory that she is only as old as her back muscles.” declares Donald Loomis, trainer of Hollywood stars. “Allow the back to grow stiff and the body is no longer flexible.” he continued. "The minute muscles become tense and stiff, a woman starts to show' her age.” Mr. Loomis advises all women to stretch their way to health and therefore to beauty. He thinks it. an excellent idea to bend backward and forward from the waistline several times a day. As soon as one of his own glamorous pupils can touch the floor with her hands, meanwhile keeping knees stiff, he directs her to stand on a thick book and try to touch the floor from this elevated position. He adds that bending exercises should be done each and every day. and warns against hit-or-miss exercises of any type. Improves Circulation "Flexibility improves circulation and digestion, two important factors of beauty. It keeps the flesh tight and firm-looking and decreases nervous tension and strain. You know', of course, how nervous and uncomfortable you feel when your back and neck muscles are tense. Very well, then, the next time you can’t sleep, concentrate or sit quietly, get up and stretch your sninal column and waistline muscles. Stand with legs wide apart, hands held high above your head and. keeping the knees stiff, bend to touch your left toes with your right hands, go back to the original position, then reverse making left hand touch right foot. Repeat 20 times. Lot your head fall forward on your chest and, keeping each muscle quiet and relaxed, turn your head slow'ly to the left as far as it will go, then to the right. Let it fall backward, open your mouth and, as you raise your head, close your mouth slowly. Repeat several times.
