« - 4 t, A Page of Interest to - Fashions | Recipes f ~ Promenade 'Deck " by Ishbel Ross Ts Synopsis A luxurious five-month cruise around the world aboard the "Marenia" brings together a group qf passengers for adven- tures, romantic, entertaining . . . and tragic... Like in "Grand Ho- tel" these passengers offer a study _ in human actions and reactions which unconsciously bare their souls. . «+. These characters 'are aboard the ship: Macduff, dour Scotchman, single, of middle age; Miss Mudge, school teacher, spend- ing the savings of 20 years; An- gela, faithful wife of Lovat, gig- olo; Dick Charlton, first officer; Clare, a person of experience; Joan, a dissipated flapper; Jen- ny, run-away wife, and Peler; Captain Baring, master of the ship .. . and his soul. No, go on with the story. Burying her head in the pillow, she sobbed wildly and hysterically. At last, exhausted, she fell asleep and did not hear a knock on the door. Reassured by the quiet, An- gela stole away, belleving that jt was no longer any of her concern, They were already going through the Gulf of Siam, the Marenia steer ing her course with mid-night stealth on limpid waters. Jeany slept late, a heavy, drug- ged slumber. When she wakened, 9 the sun was pouring in through the . open porthole, and the rose wall: lights were still on, like evening dress at breakfast-time. She looked across at the other bed and saw that it was empty. Then she re- membered 'the events of the night before. Raising herself on her el- bow she held her head, which ached as if it had been hit with a hammer, Her- glance swept around the state- room for familiar objects, and in a second she sprang to her feet. Where were Peter's things? All of his things? She dashed into the bathroom. His brushes, his hair tonic, his soap, his razor--every- thing was gone. Dared she open his wardrobe door? She sat down on a chair and waited for strength, but it did not come. At last she stag- gered across the cabin and looked inside the closet. It was empty. Peter must have moved entirely to another stateroom. He must be somewhere on the boat, but hiding from her. What should she do? CHAPTER XVII "I've been wondering about you this morning, Jenny. I came back to your door last night, but your state- room was quiet, and the lights were out. I thought everything must be all right," said Angela, "Perhaps it is," said Jenny blank- ly. "I don't know. Peter's gone." "Jenny darling, do sit down and drink some tea with me. Have you had your breakfast yet?" An- gela rang the bell for her steward- ess, "Breakfast," repeated Jenny, in an aimless way. "Yes, breakfast. hausted. Did you sleep at all?" "All night, like a log. I think I should have fainted when I found Peter wasn't there. I scarcely re- You look ex-' member the night at all. Wouldn't it be funny, Angela, if I never saw him again?"

"Jenny darling," said Angela, plunging swiftly to the point. "I have some bad news for you." Jenny retracted her head, wary for the coming of a blow. "Your husband leit the boat with Mrs, Langford." "Peter -- oh no!" Jenny's voice was a cry of pain. "Angela, there is not any doubt in your mind." "Mr, Charlton thinks they caught a boat to Singapore yesterday." "While we were watching the foolish dancers! But his things -- how did he get them off?" "He came back and packed, and he and Mrs. Langford got a stew- ard to take off their bags." . Jenny was staring at the floor. "You krow I'm not hig wife." Angela accepted her announce- ment with no change of expression. "In fact, I left may husband and four-months-old baby to run away with Peter." One Must Pay "Your baby? Oh, Jenny darling!" -- Angela's voice halted in mid- stream, -So this was the story. She looked pityingly at the girl on the bed. "You must have loved him very much." "l did. 1 do. But, you see, one must pay for a thing like that." "How long have you been with him, altogether?" "About ten weeks. Such a little time. I thought it would last for years. [ thought it would last for- ever. But ten weeks! Funny, isn't it? I'm repeating history. My moth- er did exactly the same thing when I was a little girl." "But didn't you feel that anything was wrong, Jenny?" "I saw him go Into her stateroom the other day, but I closed my eyes to reality. I could not believe it. There was no change in his man- ner." She lapsed Into sllence again. Angela could see her fingers twist- ing and untwisting, and the flow of thoughts over her face. "Angela, I want to be left to my- self," said Jenny, suddenly. "Of course, my dear child, but I shall come back, and if there is anything I can do --" she bent down and kissed her forehead. "You're very kind. There's noth- ing that anyone can do." Angela went-upstairs to find that the boat was seething with gossip, She decided to go down to Jenny's suite again and see if she were asleep. No, she was lying exactly as she had left her. When the door opened she threw an eager glance. toward it, but her face clouded as _ soon as she saw that it was only Angela. "Jenny, are you all right?" "Yes," She spoke in the faded voice of the very ill. "Have you slept?" . Smiling feebly she head. "A storm fis coming up, a real China Sea storm. I hope you don't get seasick?" "Never." "It should luH us all to sleep to- night." ' - "Yes?" Jenny's voice was faintly questioning. "Won't you have some tea with me? Let's have it here. You have not had luncheon." To Be Left Alone "If you don't mind, Angela, 1 want just to be let alone. I'm rather tired. I think I shall sleep." "You'll send for me it there is anything I can do, won't you?" "Rather!" She smiled piteously at Angela -- a lost face, drowning in its own bg¢wilderment, The last traces of Peter's occup- ancy -- a few odds and ends of pa- per had disappeared. A white and blue envelope lay on the table. It was a message from him, The let- ters danced before her eyes -- fool- ish, jumbled letters, all capitals and shook her no punctuation. It had come in dots and dashes direct from her lover on his way to Singapore. On my way to Singapore. Writing at once to explain ev- erything and arrange financial matters. Peter Jenny looked in the flowered bag that had gone with her to the wats of Bangkok. Opening her purse, she found that she had £6 10s in the world.

Household Hints Newspapers laid evenly under fibre of grass rugs make an effec- tive padding and facilitate clean ing, since they may be easily rol- led up and discarded together with dust and dirt which may have sift- ed through the rug. To make celery curls, wdsh cel- ery thoroughly in cold water, sep- arate and cut away any dark-col- ored or bruised sections. Cut the stems in short lengths, then with a sharp knife cut several slits in each end toward the centre, leav- ing only a half or three-quarters of an inch whole. Soak in cold wa- ter until the split ends draws into curls, Long wearing wool rugs should have a minimum of sizing on the back, relying on tightness of the weave and quality for body and firmness; the pile should be thick and of flexible live wood; the col- ours deep and clear. The smoothly fitted line of the - dress or coat makes the fur bolero a smart fashion, to be worn with a woollen dress for the little sca- son and with an untrimmed coat for the winter months. The coat with discreet front fulness can take it. The bolero can also be worn with evening clothes. Fresh lime and water made in< to a paste and smeared over pol- ished gates will prevent rust for an indefinite period. In laundering dress shields and other rubber accessories use warm water, soap suds and soda. Add one teaspoon of soda for cach three cups of water inte which a generous portion of mild soap or soap powder has been placed. Lay a double thickness of newspaper under your front door mat, and when you pick the mat up all the dust will have fallen through onto the paper and can be screwed up and thrown away. Have you a favorite casscrole that has started to leak? Make a _thickish mixture of flour and wat- er, and let it cook in the casser- ole all day long. You can just leave the casserole on the fire or in the oven. The flour will work its way into the cracks and fill them up, stopping the leak. Some materials look best when ironed nearly dry. Fabrics with a crepy, crinkled or pebbled weave are of this type. : Hair Brushed Up Hila May Stay Smart Many Refuse the New Coiffure Now; But Future Likely .- ...Fo Change Picture Hats raise the. curtain on the- very advanced fall news while midsummer is here.

It Looks Young Two things one must be pre- pared for: higher crowns and a forward tilt, Both are a bit of a «concession to hair, today's upstart inthe fashion world. Is hair 20-0 ing up to stay? Or is this just a beau geste? One can. but recall the endless discussions about the bob. How firmly women declared: 7 "I'll never cut my hair," only to succumb within the next few months or the next year. And then the bob swept the feminine half of the world. Now one hears: "It makes me look old to put my hair up" --this from the lips even of the very young. But history hag been known to repeat itself. Hair worn high may once again look young, because the young do it that way.

It is now just as possible to have a practical, inexpensive floor with a delicate color scheme as walls and furniture in such colors --and moreover many of these surfaces only need cleaning once a week or ten days. Pale pearl grey parquet made from Scandinavian ash or oak, is having a great vogue, because it harmonizes so well with peach and pink color schemes. Lady Cam- bridge has it in her drawing-room, Mrs. Roger Eykyn in her hall. In Royal Palaces The wood, not less than a quar- ter of an inch in thickness, is lime waxed to the exact shade, and laid over ordinary boards. Birch plywood parquet is just the color of good coffee ice cream and is often chosen with green or off-white rooms, All these plywood parquets are French polished to begin with, and afterwards need cleanirg once --a week with a special wax polish compounded by the experts who supply flooring to three royal pal- aces in London.

Doll-Sized Hat For Fall Wear Paris Models Are Decked Like Nothing That Ever Was They say we are to wear doll-siz- ed hats this autumn. And we see the Paris models, tiny and decked like nothing that ever was on sea or_land. Well, we may go loony in our gayer moments, but there are still a lot of hats that cover the head, are becoming even to. the not-so- beautiful, and are just good prati- cal stuff, and with a lot of style, too, Trend Is Important Nevertheless, the trend toward tiny hats for autumn is important, And many of the doll hats being shown are exquisite and becoming to their wearers. Schiaparelli intro- duced these midget-sized chapeaux last April and they have "caught on," as most of this coulurier's creations have a habit of doing. There are stylists who believe that the small hats will be worn by all women on every occasion, day and evening. They are being shown in every part of the fashionable world. * Then there is the Watteau In- fluence -- you know, the shallow crowns, high in back, perched for- ward on the head with elaborate trimming of flowers, feathers, lace and ribbon, One such hat was swathed in veiling, with a "nest" of that diaphanous material con- taining birds. They come not only in the doll size, but berets and pro- file effects.

DIAMOND JUBILEE 187921938 _Qrorar Briapen. Erwoop A. Huanes, President! General Manager CANADIAN NATIONAL EXHIBITION Aug. 26 TORONTO Sept. 10 | There's An Art To Picture-Hanging Which Is Worth Cultivating-- Less Effort Is Required To Look Down at Paintings Than To Look Up At Them Before rehanging the pictures in a room which has been newly papered or distempered it is of- ten well worth 'while to reconsider their arrangement on the walls. If pictures are to play their proper part in the decoration of a rcom their positions should be thought- fully planned and some care taken with their hanging. Too many otherwise well-arranged rooms are spoiled by a haphazard grouping of the pictures, each being hung without regard for its neighbors or for .he elect of the walls as a whole. Correct Lice Is lmpcrtant Peop'e have different ides about the height at which the pie- tures should be hung, but in gen- eral it can be said that they are hung higher than is necessary. In the Royal Academy (London) ths "line" is regaracd as the position in which a picture can be seen to the best advantage, and it will be found that the "line" is lower than the height at which pictures are hung in the average heuse, Moreover, failing a place on the line, most artists would prefer to be hung below rather than above it. Less effort is required to look down at a picture than to look up at it; it should be remembered, too, that in an ordinary living room pictures are seen most of the time from a sitting position, Again, the room itself is given an efiect of height and spaciousness, if the pictures are hung slightly below the normal eye level. In an average room 9_ft. 6 in. high, the tops of the frames, irrespective of their size, ave 5 ft. 9 in, from the floor line. A restful effect is pro- duced by making the tops of all the frames conform to the same level, making a deep continuous fricze of wall space above them. Another method is to hang all the pictures so that an imaginary line passes '@rough their centres. And again, the lower edges of the frames can _be aligned; but what- ever plan is adopted it should be carried round the walls consistent- ly so that the pictures take their place in velatiorf to the architee- ture of the room instead of being mere appendages. All Our Parents Have A Favorite Sociologists Find the Theory Is True That Every Father, Mo- ther Shows Preference For One Particular Child. The fact that mothers have favorite sons and fathers favorite daughters -- something a good many sons and daughters have long suspected--has been confirm- ed by scientific research, Dr. M. H. Kraut, professor of psychology and sociology in the Chicago City colleges, has com- pleted a survey of the filial value of children to their parents. Youngest Child "For example, mothers favor their first born, especially a first born son. "Fathers react less favorably to the competitive strivings of the elder male child. The youngest child, boy or girl, gets most of father's affection." The child who gets the least enthusiasm from either parent is the girl child who follows another girl in the family group. Mothers Favor Sons "The similarity of sexes in pre- vious and succeeding children is a powerful factor in influencing child preference," Dr. Kraut said. Mother-favoritism is moro wide- ly distributed than father-favor=- itism, Dr. Kraut found, mothers generally favoring all their male children excepting the younger of two male children in succession. Submissive Ones A girl child, following two male children, has 72 chances out of 100 of being favored by her father and has 52 chances out of a 100 of being submissive te the oldest brother, Dr. Kraut's figures re- vealed. The professor's studies covered 1,093 individuals in 450 families and were carried on over a period of three years. While pointing out that paren- tal rejection and parental discip= line are not synonymous, Dr, Kraut found that fathers tend to punish sons, while mothers usual- ly discipline daughters -------------- Pocket Shock Mrs. Carris Fallis walked into the Internal Revenue Bureau at 08 Angeles, California . . . asked how much her income tax would be . .. was told . . . fainted.
