Also there are heels that lace up in back, in corset fashion,® There were but few shoe styles © with heels entirely open. Toes, however, are still exposed, but more modestly, For late spring and summer .there will be many patterns with perforations. Red, White' and Blue Black will be the leading spring color, Next will be a deep navy, dubbed blue jacket. Other colors include beige, some "gray, moss green, rust and lots of red, Very striking will be combinations of red, white and blue, Many toes will be squared. Moc- casin effects will be gopd. The leader will probably b > "ship on" style, close fitting at Co step. Sandals will go places in the evening, Play shoes will be made in a variety of fabrics, including scersucker, Lastly, prices were reported to be from five to 10 per cent high. or A NEW CREATION A Highland] derivation Is this black felt cap won jauntily to the right, With front rosette of chartreuse vel.. vet and black grosgrain streamers, Designed by Howard Hodge and worn by Virginia Bruce, Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer player. = Many Hours' Sleep Needed By Child Unbroken 'Rest Is A Great Builder -- Tiny Infant Re- quires 20 Hours ' A great deal is belng sald and written about sleep these days, be- cause rest -- unbroken sleop -- fs a great builder in children and - a greal restorer of energy In adults, _The fact that infants sleep nearly + all the time is Nafuro's method" of preserving the energy for growth and development, The kicking and squirming of Infants for the short - time they are awake seems to give them all the exercise they, need.

CHAPTER V That following morning, Bart got up an hour earlier, and had breakfast all on the table before he called Iris. But she greeted his gentle peace offering with of) weary petulance, "Don't worry, Bart, I won't be late to work, And if 1 am, 1 can still do your - housework, cook your meals, and pay my own way as well." "Iris, this is an unreasénable, childish attitude," he pleaded humbly. "Can't you sce, dear, it's for your own good that I want to make something of our present 7" "Skip _ the explanations, 'Bart. They all add up to the same to. tal. Men marry for better, not worse. They marry to get ahead, 'and they Jose little tinie in fitting the yoke to the one they marry." "You're tired, Iris; unreasen- able. This isn't like you." . "It's a little late to discover the effects of overwork, Bart!" In the days that followed, Bart 'was sure he lived in a strange nightmare from which he must surely awaken sometime. He got up early each morning, and while the soft June morning awoke and the birds sang noisy choruses out- side. the open windows, prepared their simple breakfast, book faithfully, despite the sar- castic comments of Iris. He be. - lieved in the wisdom of the little oracle, and he had a stubborn, un- shakable faith in figures once proved. veyed the top-milk in the little blue pitcher before measuring ont the cream for her coffee. "Top_milk from one quart of milk," she mimicked sarcastically, "ample for two persons, break- fast, eream in coffee, and cereal. Use milk to prepare dessert for dinner." ; "You Married To Save" "It saves 20 cents a day on cream alone, Iris." That was Bart, defensive, a trifle annoyed. "That's $1.40 a wéek--almost $73 a year. And in 20 years. it would mean a 'good substantial block of paid-up life insurance." "I never heard of taking food "off the table to make insurance premiums, Bart." "There's your cream, Iris; 1 haven't taken anything away from our table," And he did not "add that he was $18 ahead, for that first week alone, That buying the food for. the house, paying cash for it and taking advantage of low-priced bargains was the right _ Iden. If he could .win Iris over. "Left-overs, hash, cabbage, Cheap food for cheap people, I'd live like civilized people."

"You were thinking of saving money cven then, Bart, weren't you? You married to save the ex- pense of living in a restaurant! You married to better yourself, not because you loved me." "It seems to me if you loved me, Iris, you'd want to help me get ahead." . "Well, I am! What more can you expect?" "You might take it with a little sporting fairness, instead of act- ing like a persecuted martyr, Oth- 'er women cook and keep house and seem to like jt." "Other. women do not work -cight hours a day in an office, Bart Whittaker." "Ellen Kent does." "Ellen's a miser. She hates to spend money on a wave, even." "All right, Ellen's a miser, and I'm one teo, I suppose, by the same yardstick. But Pm still look. ing after my own expenses and seeing that 1 get my money's worth on the money I earn and spend. I'm sorry if you feel badly over it, 'but it happens to be my affair." : Can't Make Her See It And in spite of his explanations and argument, Bart remained on the outside edge. He could not make Iris see the right of his be- lief in the budget book. He could not make her believe an estate wsa built with dimes, adding up to dollars, to hundreds, thousands, and finally to snug security. There was -today, there was a ray check for each of them each week, and they weren't growing any young- er. : There 'were arguments aplenty, those. weeks during which Bart tried to work out some sort of stable adjustment to their finan- --clal affairs. Always beginning with petty trifles, they ended up invariably with mountainous is- sues, with old, forgotten hurts and disappointments dragged in, and an cver-widening. gulf between them as the summer settled in for a long, hot run and their nerves wore thin with disappoint- ment and defeat. Bart wanted Inis to take out some insurance. An endowment life insurance policy was™a good . way for women to protect them- selves, and it was a thrifty plan to get ahead. "Life jnsurance benefits only ° the survivor, Bart?" -- : "Endowment insurance pays you $2000 in 15 years, Iris, You could pay down a small house with that much money, and have the rent to invest in more insurance if you wanted to." XI can't afford any. further ex. pense right now, Bart." "Good heavens, what do you do with your money, Iris? You're making $26 ga week, and you haven't a thing to buy." Her long, violet eyes flicked him curiously and he felt a faint twinge of uneasiness, 4 "Is it so astonishing that I lived my life, earned money and need: ed it before I married you, Bart?" He flushed in quick irritation, but did not 'back down. "All right then, Iris, what hap- pens to the money you used to spend on food. and: rent?" "When you bring home your books from the shop, Bart, and explain the spending, of every: dime you earn, Jl do the same for you." : : The Soap-Shaker ' " That was the week Bart bought the soap-shaker.' in the 10-cent S085: ils had,' he told Iris, no. tice ey used quite. a lot of son, flakes: in the itchan, and Back: home his mother had always save ed the thin wafers of soap left over and used them in the soap, shaker, It saved qdite a bit, "Use toilet séap to wash dighes, Bart?"

If it's fit to wash your hands with, what's wrong with doing dishes with the left-over slivers?" ; There was a similar argument over the tin cannister set Bart brought home from the shop. In them, he insisted, they could keep left-over toast for -puddings, for crumbs and stuffing. They could keep cracker crumbs in one, brok- en cookie bits in another, "We have no puddings, Bart; you know I do not like made dish- "es. And stuffing is for turkey or «chicken, and it's too monotonous * for, only two to try to eat a while chicken or better." Cpt "Ini the budget book.it tells how to make swell desserts out. of left-over cake, cookies or bread, Iris. My mother used to, and they were slick," - -~ Iris forbore comment on . the culinary accomplishments of the senior Mrs," Whittaker, There was ' trouble enough without quarreling over the ways of 4 woman dead over 15 years. "Eighty-nine cents is a lot to spend on four tin cans we'll prob. ably never use, Bart. Seems to me your budget is crazy." At the end of the week there were two pieces of toast, and two dried rolls- in. the biggest canis- ter. And Bart proposed to make a chocolate bread pudding out of them, _ "It takes only two picces of bread, Iris." - ; "Ugh, chocolate bread pudding, Horrid old flattening stuff. Tastes like boiled Eskimo boot. Besides, I bought raspberries, Bart." "We'll 'have the berries for breakfast, Iris, And I like choco- late .bread pudding." : They had the pudding, and Iris refused to eat her dish of rasp- berries for breakfast. turkey. Broilers are "ll have mine at dinner, Bart. I bought'them for that." Baffled, he watched her sto.» them. in the refrigerator... Unr- soningly annoyed, he 'decided Iris was just - contrary. She just wouldnt listen to reason or logic, It was funny in a way. 'Hearing all those jokes all these years about the little woman. Now, find- ing they weren't funny 'at all They were all too bitterly true. Too real. ' (To Be Continued) Telephone Voice Said Revealing It Betrays Your True . Character .
