Mrs. Cameron gloomily predicts that the marriaee will not last Paula is torn by an emotional storm over the newii that Scott has married Dana With recovered poise, Paula becomes Arlend Dana and Is a constant vitltor at Dana's apartment. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY (Continued) Nancy breezed in presently. “Where's the incense?” she had asked. “And the teakwood and the carved ivory and all the rest? I must say, I wouldn't have suspected you of anything like this, Dana.’’ "Paula brought them. She seemed anxious for us to use them,” Dana said doubtfully. “I'm afraid they make this living room look pretty awful.” "Smooth as silk,” Nancy commented. After a moment, Dana realized Nancy had not been talking about the living room. CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE Gt RANDMOTHER CAMERON f surprised Dana by calling at ‘he new apartment. She marched all over the place, examining it with a critical eye. Almost the first thing she noticed w'ere Paula’s tapestry and expensive vases. "Very nice,” she commented. “Paula’s a sweet girl to try to help you give an air to this place. But lovely things like these simply won’t harmonize with the sort of furniture you have. You'll have to get rid of it, Dana.” "You mean the tape’try?” There was hope in Dana's voice. “No. The furniture.” "But I couldn’t. It comes with the apartment. Anri we can't afford to buy furniture now anyhow.” "It was a ridiculous idea for you to come here,” said Mrs. Cameron. “But I suppose there’s nothing that can be done about that now. We can dress up the place a bit, though. There are two love seats in the attic that you may use. And there’s a small console in the back reception room that isn’t needed. I’ll send it along, too.” Before she left Mrs. Cameron called the janitor and ordered most of the living room furniture moved out. When Scott came home that night he stood in the doorway with a perplexed look on his face. Then he frowned slightly. “Where’d the ancestral treasures come from?” he asked. Dana flushed. “Grandmother sent them over.” a a a SCOTT'S brow knit together. "Well, I don’t like them. More than that, I don’t like the idea of people giving us their old furniture.” * “And A don’t like that Chinese tapestry Paula put up. or those Chinese vases,” The wwds were out before Dana could stop them. "Neither do I,” Scott agreed promptly. "We’ll send them all back.” "We can’t!” exclaimed Dana in hoiTor. “Who’s going to live in this house? your grandmother and Paula? I guess we’re entitled to a comfortable sofa and wall space that isn’t cluttered up with Chinese pagodas and dragons.” “We’ll have to learn to like them,” .Jana said firmly. "After all, they w'ere well meant. And they do look rich, or something.” “Or something is right!” Scott grinned. “If they suit you, Mrs. I guess they'll suit me, too. r We can buy one big comfortable chair, which is all we need between us.” And so ended the first quarrel. Dana smiled at the thought. It hadn’t been a real quarrel. You couldn't quarrel with anybody like Scott, who refused to be unreasonable and cross. Who was simply a darling about everything. Dana w r as glowing with happiness these days. Glowing with pride, too. It was nice meeting Dr. Osborne, the most prominent physician and surgeon in town and having him say, not patronizingly but earnestly. "Your husband will be making his mark some of these days. His father was a good man in the field, but Scott will be a more brilliant surgeon than he w'as. I'm hearing some interesting things about this young man.” Dana assured herself she didn't mind pinching pennies. How could she, living in such a state of dreamy abstraction, so utterly and completely happy? Scott was so devoted, so adoring. Os course the world would recognize him some day for what he was —a brilliant, skillful young physician and surgeon. What Dana did not know' then was that anew and young physician was admitted into the inner circle of the older, more experienced members of the profession only through rare good fortune. Scott had insisted on hiring a rook but Dana had vetoed the suggestion. She insisted this was a fine time for her to learn to cook, and spent hours pouring over her cook book. On the twen-ty-second of each month (the twenty-second had been their wedding day) they celebrated by going out to dinner. Afterward they would dance somewhere or attend a show. a a a ON one of these eventful occasions Paula entertained for them with a perfectly appointed dinner Ronnie sat on Dana's right and Scott at her left. Scott sat next to Paula, too. at the end of the table. She looked vivid in a green and gold frock and her conversation was sparkling. Dana was wearing white—the same dress she had worn the night of the party at the Cameron home when she had first danced with Scott. She had worn it again at the College Club the night she had promised to marry Scott. Scott did not know it was the same dress. He knew' only that Dana was the prettiest girl at the party. Ronnie recognized the dress with ,a sudden tightening of the heart. | Try as he had. he had been unable to put Dana out of his thoughts. He had realized long ago that he had behaved foolishly. Dana s sudden marriage had served as a men-

| tal shock, setting his reasoning faculties to functioning. And here was Dana, beautiful and desirable as ever, wearing the dress she had worn on the night he had planned to propose, when he had plunged off his course after that emotional outbreak of Nancy’s. Later he had let matters drift, awaiting a more propitious time, feeling vaguely that some current was at work which kept Dana from being completely aware of him. Then had come the storm and their quarrel. "You’re beautiful in white. Dana,” Ronnie said. “More beautiful than any other girl in any other color.” "The way you turn a casual compliment into the most unusual flattery!” Dana laughed up at him. "Are compliments banned now that you're married?” "Certainly not! I need them more ; than ever. Every married woman faces the bugaboo of having her friends say behind her back ‘Poor dear, she’s getting positively shabby.’ ” Ronnie smiled. “I can’t picture you in that class. If any man ever allowed you to get shabby—well he ought—” Ronnie stopped. "Ought to lose you,” Ronnie replied slowly. Dana’s eyes met his. Ronnie flushed under her direct look. “Good heavens, Dana. You know I was just generalizing.” “Naturally,” Dana reassured him. | “How could you be talking about ! me?” a a a QOMEHOW, though, she felt nettied. It had been utterly ridiculous of Ronnie to think she might take the remark personally. "Because I don’t look shabby,” she thought proudly. “And Scott would never let me be!” If they continued to run around, partying so much, she would need anew evening dress. She wouldn’t think about it now. This white one would do nicely for a while. And perhaps they wouldn’t have so many invitations. People always invited newly married people out and then, after a while, the novelty wore off and they left them alone. A few weeks later Dana and Scott decided to pay off some social obligations by giving a small dinner. "Get a maid in to help you,” Scott suggested. “I don’t need any help,” Dana assured him. “Cooking for six people isn't much more trouble than cooking for two.” Brave wordt. Dana was to recall them later, she decided to serve chicken. She had roasted chicken several times before, and it had been delicious. An aspic salad would be easy to make and always looked nice, wdth its bright heart nestling in crisp green lettuce leaves. She would have candied sweet potatoes, asparagus tips, hot rolls from the baker’s. And angel food cake with grated pineapple and a dash of whipped cream on it was a foolproof desert. Dana began preparations for dinner at an hour which allowed a safe margin for dressing. What happened to the time, w'hat bewitched the hours was something she was to puzzle over and never find the answer. Rushing wildly from one task to another in her haste to retrieve lost time only aggravated her misfortunes. In the end, there was Scott, hastening home after a hard day that had netted him absolutely nothing, to find Dana with a flushed face, wildly flourishing spoons. “How’s my gal?” Scott called as he entered the apartment. "Oh, Scott!" wailed Dana. “I’m all right, but everything else is ruined!” (To Be Continued) Gay Christmas Centerpiece Is Good All Week Even a formal dinner party during i the holidays calls for a gay centerpiece that is truly Christmassy, with color and streamers that lend the gay touch. This same centerpiece ; can serve for all the Christmas j parties throughout the week, for surely the children must have their party too, and Santa Claus making ! ready to climb down the chimney ’ with his bag of tricks is the nicest decoration of all. The little house centerpiece is simply made from lightweight cardboard covered with crepe paper in brick design. The roof, which extends l 1 j inches all around the house, is covered with white cotton for snow, with an added layer of clear cellophane to make it sparkle. The house is 12 '■> inches long and 8 inches wide. It is 8 inches high at the ends and 11 v; high at the chimney top. The front and rear are 3!i inches tall. The chimney, which is 5 inches high and 4 inches on each side, is set down into a rectangular opening cut in the roof when the pointed roof is laid out flat. Santa himself is a cardboard cutout with a stuffed bag made of red crepe paper tied to his back with ribbon. The streamers drawn out to each place have little gifts or favors fastened to them which pull out of i the chimney. The bags at each plate, with place cards tied to them, are pieces of red ; crepe paper gathered up around an assortment of nuts and candies. A final holiday touch is the red-edged paper plate with red gummed stars i pasted on. under the glass plate.

Daily brushing keeps a little girl’s scalp clean and healthy and helps keep the hair beautiful for the years ahead. BY ALICIA HART QHINY hair, clear skin, pearly teeth, a supple figure—characteristics which will be so important to your young daughter in the years to come—depend a good deal on just how appearance-con-scious you make her while she is little. The 5-year-old who learns to take pride in her personal appearance is more likely to be lovely at 18 than one who is allowed to neglect the small details of personal grooming. This doesn’t mean, of course, that you have to make a child's life miserable all for the sake of her later beauty. It doesn’t matter how many trees she climbs or how dirty her nails and face get, as long as she doesn’t mind scrubbing and unpretentious grooming once play hours are over. Patiently explain to her that bathing, hair and tooth brushing and nail grooming are privileges—not dull duties. In some way get across the idea that her playmates won’t think she is a sissy merely because she takes a daily bath, brushes her teeth and the like. If necessary, make a game of health and beauty routines. This shouldn’t be too difficult. Brush and gadget manufacturers certainly are doing their part to make your life easier on this score. a tt A/TINIATURE tooth brushes -*'*-*• come with bright handles, often embossed with diminutive fairy tale figures. Long-handled bath brushes in tiny sizes are more fun to use than ordinary wash cloths. One especially nice dresser set in a leather case is equipped with small hair brush, nail and tooth brushes, orange sticks for cleaning finger nails and a comb. One of these would be likely to revive your young offspring's interest in her looks. Tiny nail brushes are most important. Each child in the family should have one of her own. When she has learned how to use it, point out to her the importance of carefully rinsing and of pushing back cuticle while she dries her hands thoroughly. AfW a little girl's sixth birthday, she generally can be taught to brush her own hair. The rules that apply to adult brushing routines should be followed closely. Show her how to part her hair in sections, press the brush firmly against the scalp and draw it outward to the ends of the hair, wiping the brush after each stroke. Do all you can to make your children—boys as well as girls—soap and water conscious. Their faces can't be washed too often. However, in cold weather, it’s a good idea to use a bit of plain white vaseline or bland . cream after the washing. If you’re taking them south for a winter vacation. cover their faces, necks, arms and backs with suntan lotion or cream before you leave them to play in the sand on the beach. BREAD NEEDED FOR GOOD DAILY DIET Scientists who recently have been experimenting with the energy quantities in bread have found that the absorption into the blood stream of the constituents of bread Degins at once and is sustained over a long period. Tests made with animals showed that the best health, best growth and best reproduction occurred in animals fed on a diet of 70 per cent oread and 30 per cent milk. ”A perfectly balanced daily diet should contain not less than six slices of bread,” an authority declares.

Two Wrongs Don’t Make Right, Jane Reminds Girl Who Requests Her Advice ‘Only You Should Pay for Mistake,’ Jordan Avers, Saying That Young Woman Must Learn to Forgive Self for Misdeed. Jane Jordan is a local woman employed by The Times to studv roar problems for you and answer your questions in thi< column. Write your letter today! Dear Jane Jordan—l am rather pretty and have quite a few boy friends. About two months ago I went with a boy and made an aw ul mistake. Since I was only 17 I was crazy enough to believe I was in love with him. I was really in love with his good looks and his quick wit. This boy says he loves me and he wants me to marry him as soon as I graduate from school, but I don’t feel like I want him for a husband. He just isn’t my ideal and I am very tired of him. The one great worry I have is will another man ever love me after he finds out about

my mistake? I have boy friends now who like me but I feel guilty when I am with another boy. They always tell me what a nice girl I am. I never drink or smoke. Do you think this mistake will -ruin my whole life? I don’t believe there are very many men who want a girl like me for a wife. That’s why I feel like I shall marrv this boy because he does love me and thinks I am just about the only person in the world. Just what should I do? SEVENTEEN. Answer—No one should pay for your mistake but yourself. If you marry this boy without loving him. you make him pay too. Perhaps you think you could act a part all your life, but you couldn't. Sooner or later the truth would out and you would feel even more miserable than you do now. Two wrongs do not make a right any way you figure it.

Besides, even if you still thought you were in love, you are too young to get married and make a go of it. Either or both of you might change your minds. You aren’t prepared to shoulder the responsibility of marriage and perhaps children. The majority of failures among marriages are those which are made in extreme youth. Gotting married won't let you out of the consequences of your act at all. Your best bet is to forget all about it if you possibly can do so. You must learn to forgive yourself just as you would forgive some other girl who battled the same temptation and lost. The fact that you forgive yourself doesn’t in the least mean that you would do the same thing again. A girl who has suffered for one mistake often is more rigidly virtuous all the rest of her life than the girl who never felt the uneasiness of a socially precarious position. Years later, when you are older and wiser and meet someone you really love, you will do well to keep your own counsel and tell him nothing about your unhappy experience. You w'on't be cheating him when you refrain from destroying his faith in you. Confession makes the confessor feel easier in his mind because it throws the burden of his guilt on the other fellow. Don’t make your future husband uncomfortable by sowing seeds of doubt in his mind. Let him keep his ideal of you. a a a a a a Dear Jane Jordan—l have been visiting your beautiful city for the past ten days. In a recent issue of your paper you published a letter written by a 36-year-old mother signed “I was a friend in need.” Will you be so kind as to let me have her real name and address, or if you haven't it, will you ask this mother through your paper to send her name to you to hold until I can come for it? MOTHER OF A GOLD STAR SOLDIER. Answer —Will “I was a friend in need” send her address? I do not have it.

New Book of Christmas Stories Contains Many Old Favorites

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Many mothers search for Christmas stories to read to their children. There have been many grand stories of Yuletide written in the past, that have either gone out of print or were incorporated in books with names that have been forgotten. The immortal “Night Befoie Christmas,” “Christmas Carol,” (Dickens) and "Birds’ Christmas Carol” by Kate Douglas Wiggins, have held through the years. But now' we have an opportunity to refresh our memories in a volume compiled by Wilhelmina Harper called “Merry Christmas to You” (Dutton), that contains just about the cream of other years. Some are old, some more recent. Such writers as Selma Lagerlof, Mary Brecht Pulver, Eugene Field and Oscar Wilde are the authors of these beautiful stories, although it would not be fair to judge by these names alone. Each story in itself is a classic. There are 25 stories in the book and almost as many authors. Book List Included Mrs. Harper has included a list of Christmas books for children, that seems to me a most generous gesture and a welcome bit of information to the book searcher. “Why the Chimes Rang.” by Raymond Alden (Bobbs-Merrill); “Miss

The hat was molded to the head and fashioned in its entirety from gilded coq feathers. The feathers were arranged in a manner that served to frame the face like a gold, wind-blown bob. Miss Shearer w'ore the hat w’ith a gold dinner gown, featuring one long sleeve.

Cellophane Gift Wrappings Give Sparkle, Color Every’ Christmas gift collection includes presents of varied shapes and sizes. Some call for a round box. others for square or oblong ones, and these are often last-min-ute purchases for which you have no box at all. How to wrap each package effectively is a problem. With modern wrappings and ribbons of cellophane, you can get holiday sparkles and color, as well as unusual package decorations. Anew trick for decorating a round box is to pleat a sheet of black transparent wrapping around the package and ornament the top with a halo. To make this halo, cut four pieces of the wrapping, each a little wider than the box and 10 inches long. Fold each piece in three-eighths-inch accordion pleats, hold together with clips, and cut through the center of the pleats. Tie pieces together with spool wire, leaving the folded edges on top. Cut the ends to points at these folded edges and paste a silver star in the center. Attractive Alternate Or, instead, you might use a covering of deep blue transparent wrapping with horizontal bands of silver transparent ribbon at top and bottom of the package, and bows of both colors at top center. Gather the wrapping under the bow and make many short ribbon loops. For a square high box, crush a clear transparent sheet and wrap it over the box without smoothing it out. Trim each side of the top with wide bands of pleated green wrapping. Green printed ribbon of cellophane, tied across the center, completes this trimming. A flat, oblong package gives you a chance to apply a modem Christmas symbol of sparkling cellulose film. A tree design, cut from colored wrapping, may be pasted on in such a way that it produces a shaded effect. This is done by cutting triangular pieces of graduated sizes and building the tree In layers that overlap. Sides of the tree will be seriated. Add a square piece at the bottom for a tub and put a gold paper star at the tree top. The design is very striking in red over a crystal-clear wrapping. A figured tablecloth or towel will look interesting rolled in a clear sheet with the design peeping through. Let the sheet extend beyong each end. cut deep wide points and add extra pieces of red. Tie ends with short lengths of red ribbon. Shrinking Potatoes If possible, buy potatoes that have been dug after the vines have matured and died, for they generally show better quality and shrink less during the winter.
