Rep/edge for War Savings SALADA TEA MARRYING MARK . . by Violette Kimball Dunn CHAPTER 22 El ise opened her large eyes to the-lr widest. "But of course,. Al- though you are old enough to know what you are doing. I moan, aM far as your reputation goes. When a woman comes to live with * fascinating widower, and a little girl" "And a housekeeper aud a staff of servants," said Lucy. She could feel her temper slipping, and she gripped it closer. "Perhaps you'd like to toll me exactly what you mean," suggested Lucy. "Oh, my dear, you mustn't be annoyed with me. Of course, what you do to your own reputation Is your affair. But It hurts some of us just a little" she laid an ap- pealing hand ovea- her heart "J mean, to hear whispers over lunch- eon and bridge tables. Gossip is a hard thing tor a baby like Valerie to live down " Lucy got up. Kxcpt that her eyes looked almost black In the pallor of her face, nobod- could have told that ahe was almost faint with rage. "10xrus-H me," she said. She stood for a moment looking down and wondering. Just what purpose was served by the Eltaea In life? "the party seems to be breaking up." The youngster* crowded around her, telling her how marvelous It bad been, begging her to come to their parties, swampiug her with frank young approval. They got their wrap* and headed, chatter- Ing for Chiltern and the front door. Elise retrieved her ermine coat, slipping her bare arms Into it, and trailing her black velvet to where Murk stood, th centre of a small knot of girls. "Thdiiks, Mark, darling, for everything." She put her hand lu hi.-, managing to suggest delic- ious, unspoken possibilities. .Mark held her liand for a second, and put It gently down, looking a trifle confused. "Could you like an an- ge[ drive me home-? Of course 1 jiavw Harmon the evening. I couldn't keep him Thanksgiving " She stood like uu angel of gentle consideration. "Isn't a sliame the way luck runs'.' My car's having a minor op- eration. Tell you what we'll tuck you In with a bunch of the kids rmlt-t is taking home. "How simply sweet," salu Ellse. Elise't Plan Not Successful But she looked anything but sweet later, wedged in between two young things, with Ilex and a iloious boy on the fold-up seaU before her and shrill reminiscences of the night filling the car. Valerie burst into Lucy's bed- room the next morning to find Lucy pale and listless over a prac- tically untouched breakfast tray. Mark had Insisted on holidays, so lessons were off for a week. "When you dldnt come down for breakfast, I thought something uiUHt be wrong," cried Valerie. "1 ran up as soon as 1 had finished. I was going to swim In the Ken- wood's indoor pool, but I won't go now. It won't lako me a mlnntj to telephone " Lucy drew her own and kissed, her. "Of course you'll go, billy," she said. She tried to speak brightly. "There's nothing the mat- ter. 1'nlens it's late hours last night." "You look as if you hadn't slept at all!" BOOKS BY MAIL Postage prepaid on all orders.

"You know I didn't mean that kind of looks! Old the party tire you? If It did, we'll never hare another" ' But I adore parlies," said Lucy. "And yours was almost the nicest I ever knew." "Ooira," corrected Valerie. "There wouldn't have been any party U ii hadn't been for you." 1 ' ill, the planning was part of the fun. You see, I I have some letters to write. And there's some- thing ivell rather important, I have to think about a bit. You know one of those things " She i alt led OB, thanking heaven that Valerie didn't know. "So I thought I'd just indulge in a lazy morn- ing" "Rather important," repeated Valerie. She stood quite still, star- ing at Lucy. Then her eyes grew startled, and she rand over and dropped to the end of the chaise lougrue. "i don't Ilka It, somehow. Lucy there wouldn't be anything I mean, nothng could take you away from us " A Difficult Problem Lucy swung her feet to the floor aud threw a sudden arm aruond the girl. "Would it make such a difference?" she asked. She wat almost frightened at -he change in Valerie's face*. "But you're joking!" sue cried. "Why you belong here. You be- long to Wide Acres and father and me! There wouldn't be an/- bod/ who has more right to yon Lucyl Are you crying!" "Crying? Certainly not! Would I cry because a popular young wo- man with heaps and heaps of friends think she couldn't get along without me? What do you think I am?" Valerie kissed her and went out. Lucy was glad to see that the fear had faded from her face. She sat until lunchtlme trylnp to think the thing through. She had known since her first night at Wide Acres that i:h was her 11,-tnj Of course, the reason .v.w plain enough. Ellse wanted Mark, and meant to get him If she could. There was, Lucy told herself, only one thing to do: be willing to lake whatever course was best for tin MM all, and then wait for events to show her what it was. She took a shower and dressed, covered her pallor with faint icugo, went down to lunch, and spent a long blissful aftornoon with Mark, playing squash. Lucy was not the only person to lose sleep because of Valerie 1 * party. As they rolled 'out of the Wide Acres gates, Ellse insisted that Catlet should drive her home first. She untangled herself from Hie scrambled occupants of Mark's car, dismissed Catlet, and let her- se-lf Into apartment In a rage. Sallie, her maid, had fallen asleep walling for her. Elise waked her furiously; and the woman, af- ter listening to her for ton min- ute*, gave notice aud walke-l out (To be continued! Sixth Columnists Spread Defeatism It is opportune to point out that the pernicious activities of Sixth Columnists are common alike to all countries at war, or threatened by war. By obstruct- ing the war effort, they can push one country toward devaluation and another country toward in- flation, and they must, therefore, be checked and punished in all countries. The Sixth Columnists tire the profit-grabbers, the rent racket- eers, and those who refuse to face, much lean to shoulder, any of the responsibilities thu war has brought to all of us. The profiteers bleed the consumer, the rent racketeers hold business firms to ransom, and all three classes encourage "graft," waste and delay, sap the resources of th ecountry, drain HWH.V tlio en thusiasm of its fightinp forces and other war workers, and, whe- ther purposely or not, help the Fifth Columnists and potential Quislings to Hpieud defeatism. Minister of Supply Seizes Own Fences Lord Braverbrook, whose Sup- ply Ministi-y has been scouring- the country for scrnp metal to roll out the tanks, has "seized" his own railings and 1'vnccs. A stateim-nt from the Supply Ministry reported: "Lord Hi'avcrbrook'.i fences and railings at Clierkle.y (his country home) have been seized by th* Ministry of Supply." Hitler's Estimate Of German Losses Hitler in his latest order of the day to the troops on the Kussian front gave an account of th* destruction they have brought upon the enemy. "This outstand- ing achievement," said Hitler, "was obtained with sacrifices that, however painful in indivi- dual cases, in the total amount to scarcely 5 per cent, of those of the World War." Total German casualties in the World War amounted to 7,142,- 558, according to the World Al- manac. Five per cent of this amount would be 857,150 men lost in the present Russian war. But on September 19 the German High Command recapitulated its casualties up to the end of Aug- ust They were 402,866. Since the beginning of September the fighting became even more in- tense, but seemingly there were less than no casualties. On th* othe hand, one conservative Brit- ish estimate says the German casualties are 17,000 a day. It brings the German losses to very nearly 2,000,000 men, for less than four months of fighting against more than four years in 1914-18. Many girls are working 11 hours a day in German munition plants. GAY VERSIONS OF CHILD'S FROCK By Anne Adams Two "pretty as a picture" dresses for a little miss both from the same pattern!

Louis Btaison said in a broadcast to conquered France recently that the Free French submarine Surcouf, largest sub- mersible in the world, would shortly be setting out to sea again to "seek out the enemy." Commander of the Surcouf, he .spoke in a special broadcast ad- dressed to France and Britain over a powerful shoit wave sta- tion. He told how the Surcouf had been abandoned in Britain after the fall of France. "With a small nucleus of vet- eran submarine men," he said, "we buit up a crew; we trans- formed fishermen into gunners, peasants and college boys into electricians, firemen and soldiers into mechanics. We had the broken paits re-cast, the burned blueprints redrafted. We have since then covered 22,000 miles and have dived 150 times." The submarine is undergoing reconditioning at the Portsmouth, N.H., navy yard. "Frenchmen," he said, "you are gagyed, but we are here to tell your British allies and your American friends of your admira- tion for the heroic iioyal Ail- Force and for the sailors who are patrolling the North Atlantic."
