CHAPTER (ll "Ellen's child was her dominant passion" said Dorothy, looking ob- liquely at Mark. She was feeling sentimental about 'Ellen for the first time In twenty years. The ten thousand dollars Elllen had left her had been an enormous sufprise. With five thousand each to Elise and Shirley. And the trust fund for Valerie. Not a fortune, of course, but more than a child had any need of. Mark's marriage settlement must have Geen far more than anybody dreamed. But that"was Eflen's way from childhood. Secrecy. Leaving "money to Elise: and Shirley was madness. Not that Ellen wotld have listened even it anybody had known she was going to do it. Elise's alimony must run into thousands, and Shirlex made enough with. her best sellers to keep-her like -a princess Still; re- verting to the trust fund, no pro- perly brought-up child could use the income for years. ~ Lee Dagnall stopped on his way to the great hall to shake hands. "I'll be getting along," he said to Mark. "Drop into my office when "you have time. There are a few details--" "I'll do that," Mark told him. He ~ gripped- Lee's hand. He liked the man, although there had been no really close contact between them. "Good-bye, lovely ladies. That nieans you too, young person," Lee said to Valerie. "I congratulate you on your father." "Thank you," said Valerie. She tried to remember a grown-up voice. She looked up at Mark, and he looked down at her. Both smil- ed. There was something proprietary in the smile that vaguely troubled Dorothy. She nodded mechanically .to Lee, glad of his departing foot- steps. If 'Elise and Shirley would follow-- "The Sweetest Plan" But Elise and Shirley showed no symptoms of following. They stood one on elther side of Mark and his daughter, chatting pleasantly. "I have the sweetest plan," Elise told Mark. "I want to take this darling away for a while--just us two--not so far but what you 'could run. up often--'" She put a familiar hand on Valerie's shoulder. Valerie could feel the spot turn.' cold. She edged toward Mark and put her fingers on his arm. Shirley sald nothing. The scarlet line of her mouth twitched a little as she looked from Mark to Valerie. Valerie liked Shirley. She liked her blue eyes rimmed with long dark lashes, and the lovely trans. parency of her skin, She made up her riifnd to look as much like Shir. ley as possible when she -grew up. Dorothy didn't smile at Elise. Valerie could gee that her aunt. Was angry. "Mark and I both appreciate. that," she sald sweetly. "But you see, were anxious to _Ret the child settled and back to school as soon "over two thousand miles," as possible. I plan just a few days--" "She's Staying With Me" - Valerie doubted her ears. Her lovely castle was tumbling before she had it fairly built. She turned terrified eyes on Mark. He could fix anything. He would fix this. Mark was speaking. "It's simply grand of you all to make plans for us," he said. "We appreciate it. But you see, we made our own first, As a matter of fact, Valerie isn't going anywhere. She's staying here at home with me." It fell like a sort of amiable bombshell. "With you?" cried Dorothy. Of course he couldn't mean it. But looking at him closely, she knew in spite of herself that he did. [t was incredible, The plans she had lain awake perfecting the night to keep her ia before were not to be swept away ~Hke-this by a-pleasant-yonng-man - whose gray eyes rested on her with a look she couldn't' understand. "But of covrsa you haven't stopped to think--" Mark was smiling at her pleas: antly, his hand in Valerie's. "Oh, yes, we've really given it a lot of thought." he said. _ Valerio shivered deliciously. When he said "we" It meant her. She decided it was the most won- derful word she oa ever heard. "But a man--aloue--with a child --whao isn't even his own--"*---- Valerie risked a quick upward glance. He was still smiling pleas. antly, but somehow underneath she felt he was not pleasant at all, "But you see, Valerle is my own," Mark explained patiently. "As much as one human being can be another's---which isn't far. She's mine in the nicest way in the world. By the fron arm f the law! For some reason or other, she seems (tite happy about it. Which makes it practically unanimous!" Congratulations to Valerie Valerie found herself won what her aunt would say to t She was almost sorry when Paul laid his hand on his wife's arm. He knew if she grew angry enough, she would say things she'd be sorry for tomorrow. And summirg Mark up, he decided that world be too late. He knew quite well what sho had in mind. He had not been averse to a hand in the manage: mnt of Valerie's trust fund himself. But after all, the money had come originally from Mark, who was a handy fellow to keep in with. . "I'd like to be the first to con- graulate Valerie," he said. Valerie counted up to ten before Dorothy finally spoke. ' ' "Of course--" she said-----"of course nothing is really final 'In this funny world, is It? [ suppose I was thinking of my dear sister--" Mark™s hand tightened on Val- erie's shoulder. It scemed to be telling her everything was' all right no matter what happened _ "We won't forget Ellen, either," he said. "I promise you." He stood there with his hand on Valerie's Shoulder. Shirley gathered up her furs and gloves and purse and 'started for the door. Elise weighed various possibilities from under half-lowered lids and decid- ed to follow. There would be plenty of time later. p "You'll be staying long, darling?" she asked Dorothy. "We're leaving in the morning." said Dorothy. "Paul will telephone for reservations tonight. I hoped perhaps I could help with readjust. ments bere. But Mark and Valerie seem to have made thelr own plans, and so--" ¥ "Too bad," sympathized Elise. "I mean, that you're not staying.

An improved meth- od 'for making the ever-popular maple cream has also been devised by the station workers. HOME FREEZER The improved technique for mak- ing maple cream developed In the station laboratories utilizes the home ice-cream freezer, and by providing temperature and control and preventing loss of moisture by evaporation insures a product of superior textur¢ and quality, say the chemists. The syrup is boiled to a temperature of 232 degrees, cooled down to 60 to 70 degrees, and churned in an ice cream freez- er which is surrounded with water at 60.degrees. Creaming begins in about 20 to 30 minvtes and is com- pleted in 40 to 60 minutes. A maple jelly sugar, 10 parts corn syrup, 1 part pectin and 0.4 part phosphoric acid i3 said to have excellent jelly char- acteristics, a mild degree of tart ness and an attractive color. The jelly can also,be made from maple sugar-alone -by increasing the --as-- mount of the acid, but the color is usually darker. making maple jelly is still rather complicated, but the gtation work- ers hope to simplify the procedure in the near future Fall To Fealme A Tapering Line Narrow Hip, Styles Will Ac- centuate Wide Shoulder Ef- fect in Autumn 1941 Women's Outfits Previews of styles for fall ana wintel, 1941-42. show geim deters mination on the part of designers to transform women into big- chested creatures with narrow ¥ 1ap- ering hips.

This is fairly easy with evening skirts, which taper down to the ankle and allow for a split to the knee. But with day dresses, designers resort lo pep: lums, tunics, tiers and draperies-- all devices to provide hip-room. while still maintaining the tapering effect. : SOME EXCEPTIONS There'll be two exceptions to the tapering rule--formal evening wear and college girl clothes. Wide- Above-Waist Silhouette Is Here The. popular acceptance of the wide - above - the - waist silhouette which has been seen in New York in high fashion clothes groups for several months past now has ar- rived to a wider acceptance in popular priced clothes. It is in- teresting as one of the first major changes in sihouette since Am- erica took over her own designing. The trends are obvious, to the casual shopper, who has seen the square shoulder line yield gradu- ally to-the sloping shoulder and the wide hemline gradually be- come slimmer during the past 33. b Shoulder interest is achieved devices other than shoulder pads.

This was the advice given by Miss Marjorie K. Milli. gan in a recent talk on Sun Baths for baby given under the auspices of the Child Welfare Association of Montreal. ; Miss Milligan said that sunshine was necessary for the normal growth of all children, particular ly for the prevention of rickets, a disease of the bones." If the child is placed in front of a win- dow, the winilow must, however, be open, for the sun rays which paint the cheeks and make bodies husky do not 'penctrate ordinary window glass. BEST TIME OF DAY The best time for sunbaths is between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. ex- cept on very hot days when the sun baths should be given before 10 or" after 3 p.m. The object is a gradual tanning and a very shght reddening of the skin each day will lead to tanning. A heavy tan is not in itself of great value; in fact, if it is too heavy it-re- turds the absorption of the rays. Children of fair complexion burn. move readily than those of darker skin and should be more curefully exposed to the sun. If baby burns easily give him -his "<un bath in the shade of the house, as anything stronger than skyline may be too much for him at first. Always place baby with his fect pointing away from the sun, and see that he is protected from the wind.. -- SHOULD BE GRADUAL PROCESS Starting with an exposure of four minutes, two minutes front and two back, Miss Milligan said the time should be lengthened ~ cach day until the child is ex- posed 30 minutes back and 30 minutes front. First the baby's arms should be bared to the sun, then after two ot three days the legs, later the chest and back. It should take 3 weeks before the whole body is given a sun bath. Fashion Flashes holds Tri-color favor. theme still Probably no single feature of style has transformed the char- acter of daytime dresses more than the tiered skirt.
