DURHAM" STARCH MARRYING MARK .... by Vtole'.te Kimball Dunn SYNOPSIS Mark's beautiful wife, Ellen, has just died, and for the first time he is aware of his adapted daugh- ter, Valerie, fourteen. Valerie had always been submerged in Ellen's personality, just as everyone who knew Ellen was submerged, but now she stands out as young lady, timorous and fearful of hav- ing to leave Mark. Ellen's sister Dorothy, has already arranged for Valerie to live with her, but Mark will hear none of it. The family anc friends come in to hetr Ellen's will read. CHAPTER III "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 bad been an enormous surprise. With five thousand each to Elise and Shirley. And the trust fund for Valerie. Not a fortune, of course, but more than a child bad any need of. Mark's marriage settlement must have been far more than anybody dreamed. But that was Ellen's way from childhood. Secrecy. Leaving money to Elise and Shirley was madness. Not that Ellen would have listened even If anybody had known she was going to do it. Elise's alimony must ruu into thousands, and Shirley made euough with her best sellers to keep her like a princess Still, re- verting to the trust fund, no pro- perly hrought-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 means you too, young person." Lee said to Valerie. "I congratulate you on your father." "Thank you." sai.l 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 EHse and Shirley woiMd follow "The Sweetest Plan" But Elise and Shirley showed no symptoms o-f following. They stood one on either 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 turu cold. She edged toward Mark- and put her fingers on his arm. Shirley said 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 mind to look as much like Shir- ley as possible when she grew up. Dorothy didn't smile at Elise. Valerie could s-ee that her aunt was angry. "Mark and I both appreciate that," she said sweetly. "But you see, were anxious to get the child settled and back to school as soon as possible, f plan to keep her 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. It was incredible. The plans she had lain awake perfecting the night before were not to be swept away like this by a pleasant young man whose gray eyes rested on her with a look she couldn't understand. "But of cowse you haven't stopped to think " Mark was smiling at her pleas- antly, his hand in Valerie's. "On. yes, we've really given it a lot of thought." he said. Valerie shivered deliciously. When he said "we," it meant her. She decided it was the most won- derful word he had ever heard. "But a man alone with a child who 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. Valerie 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 t!:> world. By the iron arm f the law! Far some reason or other, she seems qi ite happy about it. Which makes it practically unanimous!" Congratulations to Valerie Valerie found herself wonderln? what her aunt would say to t!:at? She was almost sorry when Paul laid his hand on hU wife's arm. He knew if she grew angry enough, she would say things she'd be sorry for tomorrow. And summing Mark up. he decided that wo; M be too late. He knpw quite wsll wh.it she had in mini!. He had not been averse to a hand in the manage- mut of Valerie's trrst fund himself. But after all, the money had come originally troru Mark, who \v.is a handy fellow to keep In with. "I'd like to be the first to con- graulate Valerie." he said. Valerie courted in to ten before Doi-othy finally spoke. "Of course ' she said "of course nothing Is really final In this funny world, is it? I si ppose I was thinking of my dear sister Mark's hand tightened on Val- erie's shoulder. It seemed to b? telling lier 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. Shirloy gathered up her furs and gloves and purse and started for tfce, door. Elise weighed various possibilities from under half-lowered lids and decid- ed to follow. There wou'd be plenty of time later. "You'll be staying long, darling?" she asked Dorothy. "We're leaving in the morning," said Dorothy. "PaU will telephone for reservations tonight. I hoped perhaps I could help with readjust- ments here. But Mark and Valerie seem to have made their own plans, and so" "Too bad," sympathized Elise. "I mean, that you're not staying. I was looking forward to seeing you. But you'll probably be run- ning back anil forth " - "One doesn't run back and forth over two thousand miles." said Dorothy. "And of course my own menage Is waiting " To Be Continued "LUXURIOUS RUSTICITY" Hi-re in thil faiuoiM I "* Chalet, Beetled In valley of pine covered tununi iilu*, you can ..iiri.il memorable holiday In an atmonphere at --1 IIMII IIIIIM itiiniii-iit".

Ik ALPINE New Maple Jelly Made From Syrup It Has Excellent Jelly Char. acterstics, A Mild Degree of Tartness and an Attractive Color Maple Jelly la the newest conten- tion to come from the laboratories of the chemists at the State Ex- periment Station, Geneva, N.Y., in the search for new products from maple syrup which might widen the outlet for this commodity, par- ticularly at roadside stands, and ilius aid in stabilizing the map la syrup industry. An improved meth- od for making the ever-popular maple cream has also been devised by the station workers. HOME FREEZFR The improved technique for mak- ing maple cream developed in tha 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 texture 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 whicii is surrounded with water at 60 degrees. Creaming begins in about 20 to 30 miui'tes and is com- pleted in 40 to 50 minutes. A maple jelly comprised of 50 parts maple sugar, 400 parts cane sugar, 10 parts corn syrup, 1 part pectin and 0.4 part phosphoric acid is said to have excellent jelly char- acteristics, a mild degree of tart- ness and an attractive color. Tha jelly can also be made from maple sugar alone by increasing the a- mouut of the acid, but the color is usually darker. The process for making maple jelly is still rather complicated, but the station work- ers hope to simplify the procedure in the near future. Fall To Feature 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 winter, 1941-42, show grisi deter- mination on the part of designers to transform women Into big- chested creatures with narrow tap- ering hips. Maybe it's as well they let us in on their plans so early, before we've discovered that we can't wear last summer's bathing suit. It'll give us time to do something either to whittle down hips, or to work up a loud protest. WIDENED AT THE TOP The big-chested, wide-at-the-top effect will be achieved in several ways. The dolman sleeves that were often shown and seldom pur- chased in the early spring will be with us In abundance next fall. Some designers use tor the same purpose deep-cit armholes, fullness attached to drop-shouldered yok^s. and on coats, great big sh:i\vl col- lars, vintage 1918. Then alter they've widened you at t!:e top, they mean to narrow the rest of you. This is fairly easy with evening skirts, wliich taper down to ti'.e ank!e and allow fur a split to the knee. But with day dresses, designers resort to pep- lums. tunics, tiers and draptricB all devices to provide hip-room, while still nriintaining the t-ipering effect. SOME EXCEPTION'S There'll be two exceptions to the layering rul? 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 sihouctte 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 b- come slimmer during the past year. Shoulder interest is achieved by devices other than shoulder pads. Trims high on pockets, yoke ef- fects, frilly jabots, costume jewel- ry and other wiles of fashion took the eyes from the shoulder while the pads were being lessened and gradually slipped out from the shoulder line. He Took His Little Sister For a Ride Eight-year-old Bobby Ocheltrea of Manson, Wash., took his young sister Joan for a rida in an old automobile.

CHAMBERS A Salad Chat Salads always grace any menu firstly from the aspect of an ap- petizer and secondly, what better lends itself for the hostess to demonstrate her decorative abil- ity? Even the simplest salad can ba thrilling for greens nothing but greens simply and cleverly dressed can have a very fine ap- peal. Always have your lettuce, cress celery and radishes as crisp as your best starched pinafore and as cold as the refrigerator can make them. With this basic ad- vice you should be able to give every salad a character and every time you make them they can b different. The Seasoning The real art of salad making comes in the seasoning. Always test carefully, when assembling your salad and touch up your flavors according to your own in- dividual tastes Remember a salad dressing and seasonings either ruins your salad or gives it the flavor, which places you in the honor roll of salad makers Do not make your salad dres- sing haphazardly. Choose a salad dressing, which from testing sat- isfies you as the best you ever tasted. Then onion 'has an in- comparable place as flavoring and its twin sisters the leek and as for garlic, when a salad master rubs the salad bowl with a cut garlic clove it adds a touch nothing else can do. Salads are no longer regarded as "extras" but take the place of honor in many a luncheon, supper or refreshment plan. If they hold the necessary qualifi- cations for such a role they must include tissue-building material. Meat, fish, poultry, cheese, eggs and nuts are of this variety, but fruit and vegetables require something to "build them up." These Add Flavor Cheese can be used as balls or cylinders the softer type of CASUAL STYLE WITH GAY YOKING PATTERN 4775 By Anne Adams This Anne Adams style.

Should Learn Baseball Terms Girls Better Company at Games if They Know What's What You will be a lot better company at the baseball game if you can talk baseball with your escort, es- pecially if he Is a real baseball fan. says "Common Courtesy" writ- ing for women. That means calling a shortstop a shortstop and a single a single. Hit-or-miss talk won't make the grade. You can pick up a working knowledge, of baseball terms by listening to fans around you, or by reading the sports pages. HEAD THE SPORTS PAGES If you in.:, i be an attention- getter, try to find some way other than by injecting alien subjects into the baseball talk, by jumping up from your seat at the slightest excuse, by waving furiously at a friend a hundred seats away, or by wearing your lovely, mile-wide picture hat. The woman who draws favorable atteution at baseball games follows the plays, yells at the right time, dresses sensibly ami makes her es- cort and liis neighbors feel that he is a lucky guy to have such an enjoyable companion. Economy Tips Don't forget that the modest little blouse is a godsend to the hard- up in summer. Make it yourself. Don't despise humble muslin and lawn they will repay delicate stitehery. Faggoting always looks lovely: so does hemstitching. Em- broider coloured spots to matcli the skirt. If you have a short coat and skirt you are sick of, line the coat with a gay color, and make a hloiise to match. It'll be new stilt. * * * "Tops" are fashionable. Be bold; cut the worn top completely off an old frock, uae it as a pattern for a new one In a gay print. Arid a belt to match and you'll like yourself. * * * Treat your bag to a fresh lining. Make "loose covers" to match your frocks. They are tricky to make because they have got to be a really good fit, but they are worth it. Try Sun Baths For The Baby Rays Paint the Cheek* and Make Bodies Husky Nothing tones the muscles, reddens the cheeks and lips, hard- ens young bones and makes for radiant well-being like fresh air and sunshine. This was the advica given by Miss Marjorie K.. Miili- 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 sunshina 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 window must, however, be open, for the sun rays which paint the cheeks and make bodies husky do not penetrate 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 tha sun baths should be given before 10 or after 3 p.m. The object is a gradual tanning and a very slight 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- tards the absorption of the rays. Children of fair complexion burn more readily than those of darker skin and should be mora carefully exposed to the sun. If baby burns easily give him his pun 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 feet pointing away from the sun, and see that he is protected from tha wind. SHOULD BE GRADUAL PROCESS Starting with an exposure ol four minutes, two minutes front and two back, Miss Milligan said the time should be lengthened each day until the child is ex- posed 30 minutes back and 30 minutes front. First the baby'i arms should be bared to the sun, then after two or three days tha legs, later the chest and back. It should take 3 weeks befora the whole body ia given a sun bath. Fashion Flashes Tri-color theme etill holds favor. Probably no single feature of style has transformed the char- acter of daytime dresses mora than the tiered skirt.
