STORY CHAPTER FIVE IF Toby Ryan, stepping out of the elevator on she first floor of Bergman's department, store, had turned to the left, instead of the right, it is possible that none of the things that happened that afternoon would have taken place. Toby could have reached the j- welry department either way. T a distance was exactly the same. By turning to the right she passed the silverware counters. Rhp was carrying the four wrist watches in her hand. An alert, business-like little figure, Toby moved quickly. As she passed the silverware department Mr. Pharis, thp young buyers, stepped into the aisle. He said, “If you’re going in for smuggling you must be an amateur. That's not the way—” He was smiling good-naturedly. Toby couldn't, very well brush past hin. She said, indicating the wavches, “I've just brought them f 'om the advertising department. They made a sketch of them ’ Mr. Pharis picked up the tiny "debutante special.” “How much is this one?” he asked. “Seventy-nine fifty ” “Good little watch,” Mr. Pharis nodded. He turned it over, examining the other side. “Looks to me.” he went on, “like a good value.” Toby agreed that she thought it was. nan MAURINE BALL, two counters beyond, glanced up just then. Maurine saw Mr. Pharis with his head bent slightly, and Toby listening. nodding in agreement. Maurine didn’t see the watches. Bur, she know that when Mr. Pharis looked at her like that, invariably he asked for a date. She concluded, therefore, that he was making a date with Toby. Anger, consuming and unreasoning. swept over Maurine. The day before, when Toby had been chosen to pose for the advertising photographs, it had been a blow to the other girl’s pride. This was, much worse! ‘ Maurine's face, above the carefully penciled crimson lips, went white, and the customer. Asking Ahe twice of the charm bracelet, had to repeat her question. Tt was only a few' mopfients later that Toby slipped the/ watches into their place on Ufie satin folds inside the counter Then she got out the browrn-covered book in W'hich ijnerchandi.se borrowed by °t txw departments was listed. It was a rule that merchandise taken anywhere else in the store must he “signed out” and “signed in” with the name of the person to whom it was entrusted. Toby, about to sign for the watches, looked up to see Maurine beside her. She did not notice that the other girl seemed agitated. a a a MAURINE controlled her voice w T ell. "There’s a woman over there.” she said with a nod, "who's been waiting for you.” Toby turned, and instantly remembered. It was the woman in the leopard coat —the one who had bought the compact and then discovered she lacked money to pay for it. The woman looked up and recognized Toboy. The girl smiled and hurried forward. "You’ve come for your packagp. haven't you?" Toby said. “It's right here. I’ll get it—” She turned to the wrapping desk and was back with the package. “I hope you'll like it.” she said, handing the package across the counter. The woman opened her purse Rnd took cut a bill. “While I'm here," she said. "I believe I'll look at that other compact you showed me—the hammered silver one. I

thing perhaps I'd like to have both of them.” “Certainly.” Toby got out the tray of compacts and the woman decided to take the silver one. Waiting for her package to be wrapped and to receivp her change, she said "I've some moy shopping to do next week—gifts for .some nieces of mine. You've been so nice about this. I think I'd like to have you wait on me." ' I'll be glad to," Toby told her. "Any time.” a a a IT wa-s nice to have customers ask for you. That was how some of the girls were able to boost the totals in their sales books far above the others, ♦ hereby earning bonuses. Toby had only one or two such “regulars." She was grateful to the woman in the leopard coat. She turned to her next customer. Not once did Toby think of the brown-covered book she had left lying on the counter, or of the watches in their case. For 20 minutes more she was busy. Then she was surprised by a touch on her arm. Miss Burrows, the buyer, said. “Miss Rvan, will you come with me to Mr. Henderson's office. Right away, please.” "Why—yes.” Toby could see that something was wrong. She stepped out into the aisle beside Miss Burrows and said anxiously. “What is it? Has anything happened?” “I'd rather not say anything until w'e're upstairs.” That w'as all. But Miss Burrows who had alw’ays been pleasant and friendly was suddenly another person—distant, unsmiling, a. stranger. Something was W'rong. Toby's eyes carted to the buyer's again. She was about to speak but once more Miss Burrows said. “It will be better to w r ait until we're upstairs.” ana THEY stepped Into the elevator, stepped out a moment later on a hallway that w r as carpeted. Then they vtere entering a door marked "Private.” Toby had never been in this office before. A middle-aged man with a large thin and wearing rimmed spectacles sat at a large, highly-polished desk. Miss Burrows stepped forward. She said, This is/ the girl, Mr. Henderson. Her natthe is Toby Ryan.” The dnan at the desk cleared his throat. "Won’t you—ah—sit down.” he /said, motioning toward chairs. He went on looking at, Toby. "Well, young woman, what have you to /say for yourself?” Miss Burrows cut in, "I haven’t discussed it with her, I didn't want, others listening.” She turned toward Toby. “You might as well tell the truth.” she went on. “Well find out soon enough if you don't. What did vou do with the watch?” Toby's blue-gray eyes widened. "What do you mean?” she asked. Miss Burrows went on briskly, "I'm warning you that it will be better for you to tell the truth. ou know you could be arrested for this.” “But, Miss Burrows, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Panic edged the girl's words. Panic stared out of the blue-gray eyes. tt tt ft DO you deny,” the older woman said sharply, "that you went to the advertising department for the four w'atches
LET’S EAT BY LOLA WYMAN
AN excellent meal for a March evening is pineapple fritters, grilled Canadian bacon and succotash. In (he gay nineties, when the seven or eight rich and elaborate courses usually sent: the guests away from a party suffering various degrees of discomfort, clever cooks used to make a point of fritters served as an entree. FRITTER BATTER FOR SIX 2 eggs x 2 teaspoon salt r 2 cup milk 1 cup flour 1 tablespon melted butter 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 to 2 cups added material Beat eggs until very light.

sketched for Saturday's advertisement?" “No, of course not —” “Do you deny that you received the watches from Mr. Keller. "Then why didn't you return them to the case?” “But I did!” "All of them?” "Yes.” "There are three w*atches in the case," Miss Burrows said. "The fourth—and most valuable—is not there.” But. Miss Burrows, I did put all of them in the case. All four of them. It must be there!” The brown -covered book lay on the desk. Miss Burrows picked it up. "If you returned the watches why didn't you sign for them?” she asked. “But I did—” Toby began, then suddenly stopped. She remembered she hadn't signed the book. She had meant to—and then she had gone to wait on the woman in the leopard coat instead. Mr. Henderson was flipping back the pages of the notebook. He held it up, opened to the last page on which there was an entry. 'There is no signature,” he said, “except the one showing that the watches were taken to the advertising department. It seems—” a a a r V' HERE was a knock at the -l door and Henderson called, out, “Come in!” A man in a blue suit, wearing a felt hat, entered. He pulled 'off the hat rather awkwardly as he crossed to Henderson's desk and laid something down. It was a tiny diamond-studded wrist w'atch. “We found it,” the man drawled, "in her locker.” Toby did not understand what he meant for a moment. She looked up to face three pairs of eyes staring at her. three faces, grimly accusing. Suddenly the girl threw up one hand. “It isn’t true!” she cried. "It—it can t be! I didn't take the watch and I don't know anything about it! I tell you I didn't take it !” Her head dropped forward and she covered her face with both her hands. Sobs shook her shoulders. The voices of the others went on, but Toby did not hear them. She did not know what they were saying. She wept on until Miss Murrows touched her shoulder. a a a the woman said. “The VJ cashier will give you check. Its an hour before closing time but you needn't go back to the depa ltment. Since the watch has been returned we won't go any farther with the matter—” Toby took her hands from her tear-stained face. “But. Miss Burrows. I didn't take the watch'' she insisted. "Oh. won't you please believe me?” The older woman onlv said 'Come with me. I'll speak to the cashier.” Ten minutes later Toby Rvan was walking along the slushy street. Tears blinded her and she brushed them back, but they AAould not stop. Passers-by turned to look at the girl curiousii To ” y n °t see them. She walked on, unaware that the cold wind was blowing her coat back, that the soles of her feet were wet. and that she was shivering Bergman’s was behind her--Bergman's and the job she had been so proud of. She was not going back there—ever. She had been discharged, branded a t hief. (To Be Continued)
Beat in milk, salt and fhelted butter. Mix and sift flour and baking powder and stir into first mixture, stirring to make smooth. When thoroughly blended, add the material wanted or drop pieces into batter until they are completely coated. Sometimes the added material (such as fruit) is such that more flour will be necessary, as is the case of left-over corn. Whenever fresh fruit is used in the fritter, it should be cut in paper thin slices that it may be thoroughly cooked by the time the fritter is done. All canned fruit should, of course, be tvell drained. You know that fritters must be fried in deep hot fat. If the fat. is too hot, a hard crust is formed making the outside hard and dark while the inside is doughy and uncooked. If, on the other hand, the fat is not hot enough, the fritter sinks to the bottom and absorbs too much fat and turns out pale and soggy. The right temperature is about 360 to 390 or if you have no thermometer, drop an inch cube of soft bread, not crust, into the hot fat and it should turn a golden brown in exactly 1 minute.

BY ELIZABETH CLARK WHILE there are pitfalls aplenty for the girl who sets her standard of style by the wardrobes of her favorite glamorous movie stars, she can pretty safely let herself go copy cat in the matter of hats. We promised a spring of mad merry millinery anyhow, so why not get inspiration from the films when you can be sure that it clicks with the edicts of the tycoons of Paris and New York? The two models photographed today, which is to be worn oy Margaret Sullavan in her new picture, "The Moon's Our Home.” to be released next month, are no more fantastic than hundreds that you will be seeing on the avenue once old man zero is put in his place. Both are smart as the dickens, and should go far to settle one moot question—that there is no cut and dried angle at which one must pose one's bonnet.. As long, that is, as it doesn't sit flatly untilted on the crown of your head. They give you an idea of the feminine frivolity that will top the most mannish of spring tailleurs and they are onlytwo from a collection of import copies that runs the gamut from the jauntiest of berets to the most dashing sailor. There are all styles for all faces. The only thing that the milliners seemingly have agreed upon is that the all black hat should be cold shouldered for the time being. This doesn't mean that you will have to dig up last year’s somber chapeau if you are dead against, brighter colors and lots of them, but that it will require more diligent search than usual in your pet hat shop.

Mistrusts Rescuer’s Intentions Jane Says, However, That This Problem Needs Solomon to Solve It. Cmmfnt on all tho problem* whlrh interest von in this column. The best letters will be published. Dear Jane Jordan—When I was 16 years old I married a man 13 years n v senior. I did not really love him. but my mother insisted that I marry him. After two years I had a child. In the third year I found out I had made a terrible mistake when my husband's sister-
in-law told me he already was married to another woman and had a child by her. He married me without getting a divorce. Now five more years have passed and I have two more children. We have a nice home and both idolize our children. My husband

Jane Jordan
is a good provider and we get along as well as the average. About a year ago I met the man of my dreams. We are in love with each other and he is willing to marry me and take my children, but I don't want to place a stepfather over them. I worry constantly over this, for I know that sooner or later the law will find this terrible thing out. Then I will have to do something. Down in my heart I love this other man and feel that I could not go on if something should happen to him. I do not love my husband, but I do want to keep a home for my babies. I feel in time my lover will think I do not care for him and will get disgusted. We are hardly ever together. I stay home and try to do what is right. Please advise me. TROUBLED MRS. Answer—Will somebody please page Solomon? I have no ready answer to such a complicated problem. If you really objected to living in an illegal relationship, surely you would have left when you first discovered that you had been deceived. Instead, you condoned the situation by having two more children. Now you have three who must he protected from knowledge of the facts, if such a thing is possible. You can not be blamed for the first child, but the other two can hold you responsible for their plight. Any readjustment will be difficult, particularly since you say you had no wish to marry the father of your children. It is significant that your chief objections to your manner of living came after you had a good reason to want something else. Somehow I mistrust the good intentions of a man who proposes to rescue an entire family from such an awkward predicament, although I may be wrong. Women are so easily taken in by the casual loie-making nf men that they endow them with mor benevolent intentions than they have. Common sense tells me that any man would think a long time before he would undertake to rectify the wrongs of a woman and three children, no matter how much the woman attracted him. I think you feel a secret warning against trusting him with yourself and your children when you say, I do not wish to put a stepfather over them.” I am not wise enough to tell you what to do. You certainly are not free to consult your own wishes with three children whose w*elfare should come before your own. a a a Dear Jane Jordan—l am a young girl in high school. I am in love with a boy in my class, but he likes two other girls besides me. He can't make up his mind which of 1 us he wants. Should I forget him ! or try to win him? WORRIED. \ Answer—Be as casual in your attitude toward him as he is toward you. Try to find two other boys who interest you as much as he does.
