"ANSWER—Perhaps he isn't congenial with his family, Perhaps thev are too critical of his friends and he knows that they would find fault with a Princess of the bluest blood if she showed any interest in him. Question him tactfully about his family and perhaps you can
see the explanation without asking.
If the young man takes you every-

ashamed of you.

Judith confides in Virginia Bent. Virginia and Bob promise to drop in to see Judith that evening. Steve arrives first. His mood is tender and affeotionate and Judith finds it hard to keep to her decision. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Sie | CHAPTER THREE
I= T the sound of Virginia's voice, | Judith and Steve sprang apart. | “Darn!” said Steve in a low voice. { “She'd naturally choose this time | to come popping in here. I'll skip along, Judith. I can see you tomorrow.” Judith turned in the hallway. “There's no need for your running away, Steve. Please stay .a little while.” Stephen stayed, finding it impossible to do anything else. Into the little apartment, as if on the crest of a typhoon, came Bob and Virginia Bent—with Toby Lynch. “Hel-lo, Steve!’ exclaimed Toby, extending his hand. Without enthusiasm Steve shook hands with him, returning his greeting with an unenthusiastic, © “How are you, Toby?” The two were as unlike as possible. Steve Fowler was tall and solid and thoughtful. Toby was small, almost rotund, and apparently had never possessed a continuous train of thought in his life. Yet, mysteriously and unaccountably, he managed to get along in the world quite as well as Steve. Virginia shot a glance toward : Judith. “You and Steve didn’t plan on going out, did you? We thought we'd just drop in for a five-cornered chat. That thing Bob is holding behind him isn’t his hat. It's a bottle | of cocktails.”

“ ND what cocktails,” mentioned ~ Toby. “The Bent Special!” With an effort Judith tried to project herself into a lighter mood.

He had never cared much for Lynch, and he liked him even less now. More than once he had suggested to Judith that she should have i nothing to do with him. “But he's perfectly harmless,” Judith always defended. “And he’s

Steve had said nothing to Judith about the story that was drifting around. It was one of those stories which a man, will hide from the wonten of his acquaintance, no
tagonist of the story. : Toby Lynch was supposed to have persuaded a girl to share his apartment with him in lieu of marriage. Part of the story was that they were very much in love, and -unable to marry—but this failed to condone the matter in Steve Fowler's mind. He had never seen Toby Lynch in the company of a young woman, and this lent credence to the story rather than not. For Toby was a congenial soul who, under ordinary circumstances, would find an. escort wherever he went. Steve had never discussed the story with Judith, but the rumor had persisted, drifting from one to another, and steadily gaining proportions with each new telling.

Steve. Yet none had ever been asked to be Toby's guest. Indeed, not even Bob Bent knew just where Toby Lynch lived. The conversation, chilled a little by Steve's silence and Judith’s obvious preoccupation, went rather badly. Finally, in desperation, Bob went to the kitchenet and brought out his cocktails. They warmed the loquacious Toby into a running fire of comment, and 1 succeeded in mellowing the Bents. But Steve drank little, and Judith always limited herself to cne cocktail. : Yet- Virginia made no move to leave, and Judith realized that she inténded to keep herself and Toby and Bob there until Steve Fowler had departed. Plainly Virginia wasn’t going to leave Judith alone with him again. : At length she set down her glass and got up. Steve looked relieved —but he was to suffer disapp2intment. “Judith,” she said, ‘let's you and I go over to my apartment and scare up some sandwiches. These males look hungry, and I can tell theyre dying to discuss the baseball scores.” : Toby grinned at Bob. “The perfect wife,” he complimented. “How does a mug like you manage fo keep her?” = = ” IRGINIA met this with a pleasant laugh, and steered Judith out the door.

So she doesn’t leave, and she’s perfectly happy.” Toby laughed. He turned to Steve speculatively. “I've been expecting you and Judith to take the leap any day now, Steve.” Fi | Thoughtfully Steve twisted his pipe in fingers. “Well . , . you see, 1 don’t agree with Bob exactly. I suppose Judith and I could marry if I were willing to have her keep her job. But I'm not.

the solution to modern conditions. Or at least, it’s been the solution for the last five or six years. This guy Dan Cupid never heard of a depression. He just gees around raising the devil as if there were no such thing as a salary cut. I think Bob’s dead right, Steve.” He paused and looked at Fowler. “You can carry pride too far, you know.”
“It’s not entirely a matter of pride,” Steve told him. believed a married woman should work—not when there are thousands of single girls looking for jobs and not finding them.” “That’s a specious argument,” Bob put in. “Oh, Ill grant that there are some married women working in offices—married women who could get along on their husband’s salary. But mostly they're women who are so well trained that their job couldn't really be filled by the average single girl looking for a job. “Let’s take Virginia and myself as an example. Suppose I hadn't married her? She'd be working at her job, just as she is now. So what difference does it make to the unemployment situation whether we're married or unmarried? No, Steve. . . . I think youre trying to work up a logical, economic argument to justify your pride.” Steve smiled slowly. “Maybe so.”

“ ELL,” put in Toby, twisting impatiently in his chair, “Td even go one step further than Bob.” “What do you mean?” asked Steve, raising his head. “Bob and Virginia took a .big chance when they married.” “With due respect to Bob, I can’t see that they did,” Steve argued. “Both have jobs. Either job would probably support the two of them, if they were careful and willing to make sacrifices. I can’t see that they took any chance at all.” “You're wrong, Steve,” said Toby, rising and walking toward the box of cigarets on the little table. Carefully he took one up, lighted it. “Look here. It’s a well-known fact about human nature that people want what they can’t have. Suppose Bob and Virginia had wanted to marry only because it looked as if they couldnt? afterward they'd made the wrong move. That would have been bad, wouldn't it?” x *s =» «“y'M afraid I'm not following you very well,” Steve said. “There's only one sensible solution to the problem of two people in love who can’t marry for economic reasons,” Toby Lynch went on. “They should simply share an apartment together, split all the expenses. Then when business returns to normal, when all the salary cuts are restored and the birds start singing in the trees, these two can look at each other and decide whether they should really marry.” “It's a nice idea for the man,” Steve said quietly. “But what happens to the girl? I know it’s a very modern world—but most people still think a lot of the marriage rite.” Toby snorted. “You'd be surprised at the number of such young couples right in this town today. And as for the girl—any woman who's really in love is willing to make the sacrifice. I tell you, Steve, it’s the only way. You won't lose any of your real friends, and the others don’t matter.

Beaters, Spoons Needed by Cooks
By NEA Service Are you a good mixer? The question doesn’t refer to your supply of small talk, but to your ability to wield ' spoons and beaters. Cake, pastry, puddings and biscuits depend so largely on the mixing that it’s most important for a cook to be
a good mixer. In making butter cakes, the creaming of the shortening and sugar is of prime importance. With an electric beater this task is: done thoroughly and without hard work. If you must do the mixing by hand, use a wooden spoon and be sure the butter is softened before you start. Unless the recipe calls for melted butter, avoid softening it to the point of oiliness because melted butter and creamed butter produce two different textures of cake. Cream the butter and sugar until the mixture is very light and fluffy and the sugar nearly dissolved. This insures that soft, velvety crumb that is one of the requisites of perfect cakes. Use Sizeable Bowl : The bowls that come with elec-
tric beaters have been carefully |
manufactured in suitable sizes. In selecting bowls to be used for hand mixing, consider the size,shapeand material. A good mixing bowl should have a flat base with a rounded taper to the bottom. It should be generous in size, for stirring is difficult if the batter is over two-t of the depth of the bowl. For blending shortening into flour, a pastry blender does the work faster and more efficiently than can
making pie crust, invest in a and your luck may change. The electric mixer will blend shortening and flour expendicusly, too.

A child can easily be turned away from school by hear-say, or listening in on disparaging conversations of other people. "It may be about the teacher or the principal, or any of the school personnel. The teacher .may be new, or young or foolish, according to the gossips. Or as one mother said, not bothering to move out of range of her small son’s .ears, “1
the day when one of that Smith crowd would be teaching my boy.” and respect for his teacher is undermined before he even sees her? Miss Smith is as she may be, and very likely a good teacher; but the harm done’is not to her as much as to this boy himself. : . Criticism Harmful : Then there are other matters that may shake his faith in school. For instance, if he hears older folk knocking the whole system and sayhing what should be done and what not. It is a fatal mistake we make these days to criticise methods used in local schools and to compare them with what is being done some= where else, or - perhaps with new

As time goes on there is a tendency to decry the different kinds, creeds, races and nationalities in districts. And to add that it is a shame our dear little Johnny has to go daily among them.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY WM. E. WKENNEY
American Bridge League Secretary T is difficult to lay down hard and fast rules as to what con stitutes a sound slam bid. Some experts lean backward in insisting on the practical certainty of
dertaking a slam, but I think the . general run of players get a greater kick out of the hands in which they .attempt great things and make them by a lucky combination of skill and luck, with luck predominant. : Take today's hand, which was sent to me by Ralph H. Rosenthal. of Morristown, Pa. Plenty of luck was needed to make it, and the situation must have appeared desperate when the opening lead was made. The bidding was very optimistic, but was based, as is often the case in rubber games, more on psychology than on cards West's three heart bid was, to North and South, a tip-off that West held probably a long stringe of hearts
