NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER EIGHT TIITHEN Cintra Lee had finished * * her cigaret and returned to the cabin, Julia stayed outside, staring at the black water rushing by the graceful hull of the Wood Nymph, Presently she noticed the red spot of a cigar glowing in the darkness, and recognized the familiar figure of George Woodford. "You ve made quite a hit with the boys and girls,” he said. “I'm glad I brought you along.” Julia turned to him on a sudden impulse. *' —I wish I could be glad I came.” Woodford's voice held an embarrassed surprise. "Why do you say that, JuJia?” Ho hesitated, thrn added another question. ‘‘What did Cintra say to you?” "Nothing.” said Julia. ‘‘We get along nicely.” "Well , . .” Woodford seemed much relieved. "I was sure you would. But what makes you wish you hadn’t come?” "I don’t know,” said Julia slowly. “Somehow I feel—well, out of place.” Woodford laughed. “Nonsense, Julia! You belong here as much as any of us. A pretty young woman like you deserves every break in the world. And I’ve a surprise for you, too.” “Yes?” the question was freighted with trepidation. “You don’t have to be back at the office Monday. I've wired them It’s all right.” "But I—l don’t understand.” "You're going to enjoy yourself on a real cruise, Julia. Not just a week-end.” He slopped before Julia’s frigid silence. "I would have told you earlier,” hr went on. "But the fact is, we really did plan only a week-end cruise at first. Then the night we came aboard Nash Insisted he wanted to get in some hunting. “So we decided on the spur of (he moment to put in at Evergreen Island. I've a very decent cabin there. You'll love the place.” "But suppose I don’t care to go-” “I'm afraid that couldn’t change our plans now,” Woodford told her. "Surely you wouldn’t spoil the fun for the rest of the party by asking me to turn the Wood Nymph back to the city now?” an u JULIA did not reply at once. She looked out over the rail for a long moment —then answered Woodford in a quiet, level voice which was only a brittle surface over the anger beneath her words. "Mr. Woodford, I want one thing understood. I came along as an entertainer to sing for your guests. At least, that was my understanding of the invitation. Perhaps I’m being a fool but I’ve got to ask ,this question. Is it your understanding, too?” Woodford laughed easily. “Os course it is, Julia! I’m simply extending your engagement. No genu-

i ine entertainer ever objected to ! that!” Julia nodded, wordless. But she was thinking that never again would she be able to act as George Woodford’s secretary. It just wouldn’t work out. She had lost her job at Woodford A Brooks as I surely as if she had been discharged. "But," she heard Woodford going |on in his easy, persuasive voice. I "just because you're an entertainer j is no reason why you shouldn’t en- ; joy yourself on this trip. The party’s | too small for any silly distinctions. Asa matter of fact. Julia, the rest | of them think that you came along I as—well, they think you came along i with me.” "I was afraid of that.” Woodford laughed. "R e a 1 1 y, there’s no reason to be so disturbed I about it, Julia. Nash and Roya'i—- ; and the two girls—are broad-mind-|cd people. They’ve been around.” FURIOUSLY Julia turned upon him. "Yes,” she said quickly, unable to hold her anger any longer. "They—they’ve been around. This sort of thing Is their racket. But it’s not mine. I’ve always worked for a living, and I always expect to work for a living. I—l'm not lookin for any breaks!” "Julia . . .” Woodford came closer, put his hand on her arm, “Julia, I'm afraid you’ve got me wrong. I was only trying to avoid embarrassment for you. I’ll tell you the truth. If Mrs. Joseph knew you were aboard simply to sing for your supper she’d treat you shamefully.” "I’d prefer she knew,” said Julia. “What Mrs. Joseph thinks of me isn’t infportant.” Woodford was about to answer, but at that moment the door of the main cabin opened and Royal Nesbitt joined them. “I owe this young lady an apology,” he told Woodford. "How’s that, Royal?” asked the host. "I promised to put her in touch with someone who’d give her a chance in one of the night clubs.” a u JULIA laughed. "You really shouldn't feel badly about it, Mr. Nesbitt. I've had that happen to me before.” She gave Woodford a sidelong glance, was maliciously pleased to note his discomfort. "I meant it. though,” Nesbitt assured her. "The fact is, I've been pretty busy. Then this invitation of George’s came along, and I couldn’t refuse. But the moment we get back in town I’ll set the wheels turning.” He looked at her. “How’s Amy?” It was the first time he had mentioned Amy Sanders. Amused that he was asking now, out of Cintra’s hearing, Julia told him that Amy was in excellent health and her usual bright spirits. "She’s a grand girl,” said Nesbitt. “The best there is.” Nesbitt cleared his throat nervously, turned to Woodford and asked him an irrelevant question about the Wood Nymph. Julia slipped into the darkness and made her way toward her stateroom on the other side of the yacht. As she passed the pilot house she caught a glimpse of Bakely at the wheel, his face illuminated eerily in the soft green light from the binnacle. Acting on an impulse, she opened the door. “May I come in?” Bakely turned his head from the wheel. Touching his cap, he said, "Certainly, Miss Craig.” o a JULIA leaned against the chart table, watching Captain Bakely. She saw herself reflected in the forward windows of the pilot house.

She knew, too. that Bakely could see her there—that, although he was ostensibly watching the compass and the dark waters ahead, he could also see how attractive she was in the white satin evening gown which Amy had advised her to take along. "I understand we’re headed for a place called Evergreen Island?” Bakely nodded. "Yes. That’s the course we’re on.” “Is it far?” "About 14 hours from here,” Bakely told her. "Evergreen is one of a string of islands, and Mr. Woodford has a hunting lodge there.” “Is there anything else on the island?” “No . . Bakely shook his head. “We’ll be pretty well secluded up there.” Julia laughed easily. "Suppose something happened and we wanted to get in touch with the city?” "That’s not likely. But the vessel is equipped with radio - telephone.” "I see . . .” Julia moved from the chart table and nearer to the wheel where Bakely stood. “I’d like to see the radio-telephone some time.” tt a a TIAKELY looked at her. "That -U room's always locked. Miss Craig. Mr. Woodford doesn’t allow any messages to go through without his permission.” "Well, I suppose I’ll have to get his permission.” She sighed. "I think I’ll drift along to bed now. Good night, Captain Bakely.” "Good night, Miss Craig . . .* In the privacy of her stateroom Julia wondered whether she had made any Impression on Bakely. She doubted if she could count on him against Woodford. Obviously the yacht was under the regimentation of the owner. Slowly she began to realize that Woodford could not have more successfully imprisoned her had he arranged for her incarceration in some isolated castle. There was nothing for her to do but make the best of it. Anger was useless. But she resolved that once she had returned to the city she would leave Woodford & Brooks.. And when that was done, she would face without compromise the problem of doing something with her talent. ' (To Be Continued) MELTED BUTTER IS AID TO PIE CRUST When baking pies such as pumpkin and custard, roll the crust. Line the pie plate with this and pour melted butter inside. Let this stand five minutes. Then pour in the mixture prepared for the pie, and bake. In this way, the under crust never will be heavy. If you wish the under crust better browned than usual and very flaky and delicate, butter the pie tin before putting in the crust. Two cups of granulated sugar and a quarter of a cup of water boiled five minutes will do the trick. Sweeten fruit pies with this syrup and the results will be excellent. Red Hair Sign of Nobility in Ancient Rome In ancient Rome color of a woman's hair indicated her rank. Women of the noble classes tinted their hair red; those of the middle classes colored their hair yellow, while women of the poorer classes were compelled by special edict to tint their hair black. . . . Queen Elizabeth was famous for her beautiful hair, which she tinted a brilliant golden red. In the fifteenth century in France it was considered the height of fashion for women to color half their hair red, the other half blue. Widows of Papua tinted their hair white as a sign of mourning. During the sixteenth century in Portugal girls who sought husbands tinted their hair blue to indicate their matrimonial inclinations. Nowadays modern science makes it possible for women throughout the world to shampoo, recondition and tint the hair in one 20-minute treatment.

Originality Suited to Individual Marks Mode in Wearing Orchids

Not since grandmother’s day have fresh flowers, real flowers with real fragrance and true color, been worn by young ana old alike as they are now. Orchids, which were coming into the social picture in grandmother’s day, hold the center of the stage. Cypripediums have been worn with tweeds and furs. This season, the young social set has started the fashion for originality in the manner best suited to individual types for wearing orchids. They wear them on top of the head above a pompadour of clustered curls; in a spray down behind the ear; one on each side of the head and held in place by clips; two at the throat clipped to a band of velvet like a dog collar; two orchids with stems crossed, by clips to a high neckline; orchids used as a decoration on an orchid tulle muff; orchids used at the belt, and to fasten a fur cape. With a high-throated slippersatin evening coat, two orchids closed the little Peter Pan collar. Orchids have been made up in fans with crystal handles, and usually the florist leaves out the greens. Orchids may be depended upon to come home as fresh as they went

Closet Gadgets Solve Harassing Space Problem

By MARY MARGARET M'BRIDE NEW YORK, Jan. 29. (NEA)— It's an old, old story that no male architect ever planned enough closets for the woman who was to use the house he built for her. Now that many women have turned to architecture, the situation is somewhat better. But even so, hardly a day goes by in the average home that the harassed housekeeper doesn’t sigh for more and bigger closets. This is to tell her, in case she hasn’t heard, about the handy extra shelves that snap onto the doors of your regular closet and make two places to put things where only one grew before. Even refreshment bars come that way. The one in the picture, for instance, is a sturdy metal cabinet about four and one-half inches deep which will attach to any standardized door and has a wide shelf for bottles, and room for every kind of glass. The cocktail shaker matches the glasses and

New Jewelry Is Attracting Men’s Interest Men are showing increasing interest in jewelry for themselves. Sulka’s are showing scarf pins, cuff buttons and collar bars, smartly styled. Smart Englishmen always wear on the little finger of their left hands a beautifuly cut crest in blood stone, corelian, white jade, Russian lapis, topaz, amethyst, and sometimes carved emeralds. Every fine jeweler in this country knows how to cut crests. Any family whose name carries a crest in the book of heraldry has the right to use a crest. These stones are square cut and the newest rings are made with three circles instead of one, in the modern manner, and a rounded gold square encases the stone. Scarf pins are being worn, not only with morning clothes, where black or white pearls are obligatory, but for street wear. Sleeve buttons again are smart. Saks Fifth Avenue has cuff links of beautifully cut crystal with hunter’s heads, foxes and hunting scenes, cut and enameled in color, on display in their men's wear department. It takes more than a ring and a scarf pin and shirt buttons to make even a conservative gentleman seem overdressed.

out, if they have been worn properly. And this means right side up, or stems down. Orchid bracelets, orchids used to outline the square decolletage; oncidiums; jewel clipped, to shape them to the neckline are seen. At a recent social function in New York, a young woman gowned in white, crepe wore five white orchids with violet tipped petals at the neckline in front. A white ermine wrap completed the white ensemble.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY WM. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League CHICAGO’S safety-first campaign has attracted widespread attention among the nation's motorists. In fact, its farreaching effects are being felt even at the bridge table. Here is a hand from the recent national tournament, which definitely shows the safety first influence permeating the Chicago atmosphere. When West led the queen of diamonds, South’s contract was certain if the trump should break two-two, or if East should hold the ace of clubs. An optimistic South player would expect one or the other of these possibilities to materialize, and would consider his contract fairly safe. A cautious declarer, however, would take an added safety measure at once, to provide for emergencies. Under the correct method of play, declarer wins the first diamond trick, in dummy and takes the heart finesse immediately. When it succeeds, he plays two rounds of trump, followed by the ace and king of hearts. On the last heart he discards a small diamond from dummy. He cashes the king of diamonds in his own hand, and ruffs the third round of that suit. This provides an additional entry in dummy, to lead a club toward declarer’s king. Even when that play fails, de-

taffeta curtains in front of them, and added a dressing table and stool to the center of the closet. There is a great vogue now for having closets done in colors that contrast with, rather than match, the decorative scheme of the room. For instance, a man’s room in blue has a closet in bright scarlet with slate blue and scarlet accessories—hat stands, shoe bags and coat hangers. A woman’s room in blue has a yellow closet. One of the newer closet accessories and one of the mest welcome from the feminine point of view is the cellophane or fabric cover that is long enough for the swankiest evening dress. There is also anew shoulderette cover that comes with the hanger and protects the top of the frock. n tt tt YOU can now get silk wall upholstery which snaps on the wall of the closet, can be removed

clarer still makes his contract, losing only two clubs and one spade trick. South should take the heart finesse early, because at that point the play can be made without risk. Even if the finesse loses, the two high hearts will provide a discard for the losing diamond. If South postpones his heart finesse until the second diamond stopper is forced out, he is taking an unnecessary chance. If it fails then, he will lose both a heart and a diamond trick. With a slightly different distribution of the outstanding cards, this may defeat an otherwise makeable contract. (Copyright, 1936, by NEA Service. Inc.)

Facial Makeup Is Best When , Applied Subtly BY ALICIA HART Obvious things seldom are truly beautiful. A painting so subtly colored that you aren’t conscious of the bright spots until you study it closely or a dress which is glamorous because of its exquisite lines and fabric will make a richer and more lasting impression than vivid, attention - getting pictures and frocks. This Is true of faces. We remember pleasantly the smiling girl whose rouge made her look healthy and vivacious—not smeared with paint. We remember only fleetingly, then not with delight, one whose face was coated with layers of rouge, mascara and powder. It is best, of course, to keep in mind our old rule about enhancing not changing natural coloring and features. Rouge should match the color your cheeks become after you have exercised strenuously. Lipstick ought to harmonize with the natural, warm blood tones of your lips. Powder always must match exactly your complexion. There are, however, exceptions to the ideas of subtlety. For example, you can get away with bright red fingernail polish in anybody’s drawing room these days. You can pile your hair high on your head in exaggerated Grecian manner and evoke no unfavorable comment. For the beach you can paint your toenails as red as your fingernails. In fact, you should. Keep in mind that there’s nothing subtle or lovely about evening hair ornaments which make you look like a garden in full bloom. Two or three delicate sprays of flowers enhance almost any formal hair dress. Giant clusters of them definitely do not. A single jeweled star or a rather fragile-looking tiara are good ideas. Don’t however, be persuaded to wear stars and a huge tiara the same evening. You’ll spoil the charm 1 of both.

I do not think there is another woman for whom he cares. He was wild the first part of our married life, but now he has settled down. He says he will do anything if I will forget the other party. He has a job. I have a job. We have a nice car and a nice home and the children. I admit I am partly to blame. Should I leave him for the other fellow or stay and see how things turn out? HELEN. a a Answer—You do not seem to be much hampered by a feeling of responsibility for your children. Your husband appears to take them more seriously than you do. I'm just wondering if your irresponsibility doesn’t cause your husband more grief than your actual infidelity. However, there are two things In your favor. You do your share of the work and you admit you partly are wrong. Y'our husband says he will do anything if only you will give up the third party. I imagine you hoped to reduce him to this state of mind when you took a lover. Why don’t you two- put your heads together and figure out a plan to make your marriage work? Take stock of yourselves and dispassionately tell each other what you believe to be wrong. Your husband has expressed his wish to cooperate. This is your golden opportunity to tell him in what respects he has failed you. Is he selfish, inattentive, unemotional, inconsiderate? Is he dull, stodgy or uninteresting? If kindly made, your criticisms need not antagonize him, but will help him to see himself through your eyes. * On the other hand, you must be willing to listen to his complaints about you. Evidently you have not let yourself go, so far as physical charm is concerned, or you wouldn’t have been able to attract another man. Then where did you fail? Perhaps you are one of those wives who build up their own superiority at the expense of their husbands. Have you forgotten what a long way a little flattery goes with a man? You have a job. You ought to know how difficult it is to keep one's own personal esteem at a healthy level in the tough competition that one meets in a job. It is practically impossible for a man to feel like a hero among the people he works with. If he can go home to a woman who restores his faith in himself by her deference to his opinions, he is lucky. But if he goes home to more competition and more belittling after he has had it all day, we can not expect him to be a pleasant fellow. The marriage which runs its own little admiration society is a source of courage to both parties. Have you and your husband realized this psychological truth? I think less than nothing of your lover. Ts he has no job’he must do something to take up his time, and whatever he does it must not cost him anything. A love affair with a married woman is Just his speed. A single woman might expect him to assume some unwelcome responsibilities, but a married woman already is bound and has no right to expect a responsible relationship. When he discovers you actually are planning to leave your husband and children for him, he will take to his heels, unless, of course, you have agreed to support him. Frills Are Necessary Soft blouses, frilly scarfs and other extremely feminine-looking accessories are important with the rtew strictly tailored suits. If you have chosen a severe suit of men’s wear, flannel or worsted, do dress it up with a ruffled blouse, chiffon scarf and gay boutonniere of loose, feathery flowers.
