BEGIN HERE TODAV Force* arc at work that threaten the happiness of lov'-y Dana S'anlev and her poor but attractive husband. Dr. Scott Stanlcv. Dana s grandmother, who had hoped Dana would marry rich Ronald Moore, hopes the marriage will go on the rocks. Paula Long, who has been In love with EcoH for years also believes the marriage will not last. Meanwhile. Dana's half-'lp’er. Nancy. Is in love with Ronald. Knowing he loves Dana, she masks her feeling behind an antagonistic attitude Paula goer, to Scott's office and asks him to prescribe for a severe headache. Ecott is puzzled by Paula's description of her suffering. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXIV SCOTT'S birthday arrived at last. And Dana was ready for it. She had two surprises for him. She had invited three other couples in for dinner. And this time there would be no chance that anything about the dinner would go wrong. During the past weeks her skill and confidence had increased greatly. She was having Sarah's dusky young granddaughter, Azalea, in to serve. Azalea would wear a crisp white apron and cap and she could wait on the table beautifully. Sarah had served “quality” all her life, and her granddaughters were apt young creatures, well-trained in culinary accomplishments. So there wasn’t a chance that anything would go wrong. This venture would re-establish Dana as a graceful hostess in her husband's eyes. An old, but becoming dinner dress had come back from the cleaners, rejuvenated for the occasion. It hung near Scott’s new dark suit, w'hich Dana knew', with a thrill in her heart, would set oil his handsome blondness with an extra air. Scott heard the first piece of news when he arrived home. Dana met him in an impetuous rush. “Your things are laid out in the dressing room,” she said. “We’re celebrating your birthday with a dinner party.” “Great!” exclaimed Scott. He seized her, kissed her squarely on the lips. “So you thought you’d surprise me with a party?” "And I did!” Dana boasted. Scott picked up a big box he had deposited on a chair and started, whistling, toward the dressing room. “What’s in the box?” Dana asked. “Couple of shirts,” he fold her. A moment later he called, “Look here, Dana, the darned cleaners have sent the wrong suit. This isn’t mine ” “No?” Dana’s voice was cheerful. She waited. And then: “DANA!” Thunder and lightning in Scott's voice. She answered, walking to the door, a little frightened flutter in her heart. tt tt a SCOTT'S face was W'hite and stern. “This is anew suit, isn’t it?” “Yes.” “I didn't need a new' suit. I won’t have you buying clothes for me. How do you think I feel when my wife wears her old clothes and then goes out and lugs home anew suit for me?” And then all at once Scott made a dive lor Dana, lifting her high in the air for a moment. He put her down, crushing her slender body against him. “Darn little idiot,” he said, kissing her hard. Dana whispered, “Please don't mind too much. I'll never do it again, if that's the way you feel about it.” “How’d you manage it?” Scott said, after a moment. “It’s a swell suit and must have cost plenty.” “I sort of stole from the housekeeping mpney,” Dana said. “Hmn. Well, open that box, will you? See how you like those shirts I bought.” Dana untied the box and turned back the tissue folds. She stood staring down at the contents. “Scott, this isn’t a shirt. It’s a blue chiffon dress.” Realization dawned. Dana flung her arms around her husband. “Darling goose, I didn’t need it.” “I didn't need that suit, either.” “How did you manage it?” Scott laughed. “I sort of borrowed from the budget. I'm a great budget fixer. Leave that to me.” "And how,” Dana asked, “did you happen to buy this particular dress? I saw it in a window one day, and loved it.” “I know.” “How?” “Paula saw you look at it.” Dana's eyes sobered. So Paula was responsible for her having this beautiful dress. She wouldn't let that bother her. It must have been pure chance. But it hadn't been chance that had sent Scott to Burger-Goodlett’s to buy it for her. Maybe it might have been a little more thrilling if he had just happened to pick this dress. "I saw it in the window as I went by,” Dana said with elaborate carelessness. “It is a beauty and practical, too. because the little jacket turns it into a dinner dress. And without it. it’s very formal.” “All of which.” Scott said. ‘ doesn't mean much to me. If you like it, that's fine.” a a a AZALEA had come and was in the kitchen arranging the china for the different courses. Scott was keeping up a cheerful accompani-

ment to his flashings. He always whistled when he was taking a shower, which Dana found highly amusing. She had taken her bath earlier, so there would be no last minute rush with her own toilet. Dana went to the dining room again and gave the table a last appreciative glance before going back to slip on her dress. The table did look lovely. For the centerpiece she had chosen delicate pink flowers. Slender pink tapers would glow in the white Dresden holders that had been a wedding gift. With her pretty crystal and china, the table would be a perfect picture. The telephone rang, and Azalea answered. “Hope no one’s falling down on us at this time of day,” Dana thought. The call was for Scott. He came out of the bathroom with his robe on, looking immaculate and nice. Dana gave him an approving glance from the dressing room door. Scott said briskly: “All right. Tell her I'll be there in 15 minutes.” He put down the phone and turned to Dana soberly. “An emergency,” he said. “Obstetrical.” “But you can’t go!” Dana said, suddenly limp. “Everybody will be here in a few minutes.” “Sorry, honey, but if Mrs. Lawson decides to have her baby at this time, there's nothing I can co but go. I'm her doctor.” Already he was getting into the old suit. Dana said “There must be somebody else who could handle it for you.” “You little nitwit. You don’t know a thing about the profession, do you? Where do you think your bread and butter is coming from, anyway?” a tt SCOTT'S tone was teasing, but Dana flushed at the implication in his words. Just a dumb doctor’s wife was she? Or rather a doctor’s dumb wife. Scott’s eyes met hers. “Cheer up, youngster. Maybe she’s only having indigestion pains. Lots of times that’s the way it works.” “I hope it will work that way this time,” Dana spoke as cheerfully as she could. She had more contempt for a self-pitying person than ahy other. Scott said, “So do I. I’d like to be able to attend my birthday dinner. Especially when you've done such a neat job with all the frills. And I’ll bet the dinner is great.” “It is,” Dana said. “Oh, Scott, please hurry back.” “Righto. He tipped up her chin and kissed her. The door banged behind him. The house was quiet and lonely without him. But soon there was a gay and bantering sextet. Dana had invited Nancy, whe came with Ted Stansbury, and Young Dr. Nicholson and his fiance, Esther Eaton. Ronnie had been invited because it was nice to be on friendly terms now, with the romantic element left out. Ronnie was with Paula. Since Paula was Scott’s friend of longest standing and also was so friendly to Dana, she was always included in their social affairs. Paula was fluttering about now like a brilliant butterfly. She wore a shade of lipstick that somehow went well with her red hair. Paula said, “It’s your penalty for marrying a doctor. Deserts you at his own birthday party. You’re looking sweet, Dana. That blue is a heavenly shade for you.” Ronnie apparently was studying the glowing tip of his cigaret. He crushed it in a tray and came over to Dana, taking both her hands in his. “Yes, how do you do it?” he asked. “Always manage to get the one dress ” “The one dress is right,” Dana smiled. “I couldn't afford two dresses at the same time.” “You know perfectly well what I mean,” Ronnie said in a low tone as they went to the table. “Os course,” Dana said absently. “It was flattering, too.” Everybody looked so smart. The table was lovely, the stuffed anchovy salad perfectly delectable. Only Scott was not here. He wasn’t coming. The dinner was progressing gayly when Paula Long said carelessly, “I rather stole a march on you today, Dana. I entertained Scott at a birthday luncheon. Quite without design, I can assure you.” (To Be Continued) D. .4. R. TO OBSERVE AMERICANISM DAY “Americanism Day” is to be celebrated by members of the Caroline Scott Harrison Chapter, D. A.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Business Men Don’t Hire Women to Obtain Harems, Jane Jordan Tells Youth She Can Not Understand Why Less Respect and Courtesy Are Due Girls Because They Are Self-Supporting, Not Clinging Vines. Join In all the discussions in this column which interest you! Let us have replies to the letter published below from both men and women! tt tt a tt tt a Dear Jane Jordan—The thinking young man of today is aware of the phrase “survival of the fittest” as he daily aspires to intellectual attain - ment and faces depressing experiences. Regara’ess of his capacity in his own line of work he easily can be supplanted by the girl with inferior fitness for a position who gets it because she possesses sex appeal for the male employer. Ethically, it is true that the female in competition w-ith the male has an inalienable right to the job if she has the ability

to hold it, but not if the factor of female appeal has seduced the employer to a decision. Men always have been expected to observe exacting politeness in the presence of women. If woman is to assume man’s position she should not expect undue courtesies which formerly were extended to her, but should be satisfied with the same politeness which exists between men. What young fellow remembers the day when a girl would blush occasionally and not blow cigaret smoke from her nose like a salamander? I am 23 years old and can recall many thoughtful deeds awarded women by men which are now lacking in society. This lag of chivalry truly expresses man’s decline of gratitude for femininity. You may say that men are envious of advancing women but I believe that men are both disappointed and disgusted with women

who are acquiring men’s habits in every manner and form. Woman made the first move by discarding her traditional domestic role. Yes. woman’s instinct to power is asserting itself, but let us be rational and discredit the sex appeal which may promote her above man in employment. j s. l. Whenever we lapse into generalities we are apt to be wrong. I do not believe there are many employers who would fill a position with an inferior woman in preference to a superior man simply because they felt an urge for her as a woman. Their self-interest in getting the most for their money in promoting a business usually outweighs the pull of sex. A business can not be run like a harem for the purpose of collecting fair women for the boss. There may be isolated examples where a woman has succeeded because of the appeal of her sex, but to say such a situation is general is not true. On the other hand women have a similar complaint.. Full many a time they have seen a man of equal or even inferior ability promoted to a position, which they could have filled as well or better simply because he was a man. To save me, I can not see why less respect and courtesy are due the self-supporting woman than the clinging vine. On the contrary if men must feel gratitude for feminity one would think it would flow toward the woman who could stand on her own two feet rather than the one who hung like a millstone around their necks. I know of few women who desire what you call undue courtesy from men. The much mooted question of whether a tired working man ow-es his seat in the street car to the tired working woman is not taken seriously by business women. They do not expect reverence and are pretty much bored by it. The only complaint in your letter which holds water at all is your disgust with women who try to succeed by becoming a bad imitation of a man. I do not think blowing smoke through the nostrils detracts seriously from her femininity, but the aggression she shows against men because they are men, docs. I think this is what you really feel and that you seize upon smoke through the nose as a symbol of contempt. No woman can succeed by working against men instead of with them.

Eye Makeup Is Flattering for Evening Fetes BY ALICIA HART She may wear only powder, rouge and lipstick during the day. but at night—and especially for noliday parties—the average woman knows that there is flattery in eye makeup. Mascara, correctly applied makes eyelashes look longer and more luxurious and enhances the beauty of the eyes themselves. Generally speaking, you ought to pick brown or black, depending on the natural color of your lashes. However, certain new blues and East Indian wines are attractive, particularly if lights in the ballroom are a decided amber. When you have finished putting on powder, dip the mascara brush in water (be sure to use plenty of water—too little is the cause of smudges and smears), then whisk it lightly across the cake of mascara. Opening your eyes wide, use upward strokes to cover every lash. See that each one is coated w-ith one stroke of the brush. Don’t apply a second layer. If any spills over on the skin around your eyes, remove it immediately with a bit of cleansing cream. If you use eyeshadow-, remember that it ought to match the natural coloring of your eyelids and should be put on before you powder.
