Promenade Deck . . by Ishbel Rots b A luxurious five-month cruise •round the world aboard the "Marcnia" brings together a group of paitengeri for adven* turet, romantic, entertaining . • • and tragic . . . Like in "Grand Hotel" these passengers offer a •tudy in human actions and re- actions which unconsciously bare their souls. . . . These characters •re aboard the ship: Macduff, dour Scotchman, single, of middle age; Miss Mudge, school teacher, •pending the savings of 20 years; Angela, faithful wife of Lovat, gigolo; Dick harlton, first offi- cer; Clare, a person of experi- ence; Joan, a dissipated flapper; Jenny, run-away wife, and Peter; Captain Baring, master of the •hip . . . and his soul. . . NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. "Promise me you will for a week." His voice was'urgent. Joan laughed in his face. "All rijrht; it's a iro," she .said, "bc'Kinninp; today. Watch me." "Good girl!" Funny, thought Dick, walking away from the dining-room, he â- was teaching one woman to drink and another to swear off. Un- doubtedly it was the right pre- scription in both cases. He could- n't imagine that Mii^s Mudge was ever going to touch a drop when Bhe returned to the States. Mean- while, it would be a pity if she went home to Ohonto without a few memories of downright wick- edness. CH.\PTKR X It was a great relief to have all these people off the boat.

Today she was dressed in some sort of ging- ham thing â€" her tropical costume â€" with a liat like a coal sciittle upside down. Buy! how he haled white cotton stockings. He stop- ped at her side and greeted her. "Hello! You here?" Miss Mudge was blushing vio- lently. She sat up straight, and the stockings disappeared from view over the side of her chair. Was he dreaming, or had she paint on her cheeks at broad noonday, and shockingly misap- plied? Good for Miss Mudge? She was getting on. Lipstick and eheer stockings next. "I'm surprised to see you still on the boat," he said. "I thought you'd be on your way across In- dia by this time." Miss Mudge's responsive face was suddenly lost in a cloud. She rustled her papers, then lifted her head with a perky air and ans- wered him: ".\o, I'm not going across India. I'm staying right here on the boat." He checked an exclamation of surprise. Land of Glamor "That's topping," he said. "We're going to have fun togeth- er.

Miss Mudge brightened, like a lamp that has just been lit. "That's very kind of you, Mr. Charlton. I'm sure India couldn't be any better than the Holy Land.'' "Were you so impressed by that?" "More than words can tell." Her voice sank to . an awed whis- per. "Jerusalem was just like the colored Bible scrolls we used to have in our Sunday school. It seemed so strange, after all these centuries, to see men walking the cobbled streets with their crooks and their beards, and looking the .same as they did in our Lord's day. And I'll never forget the night we drove up fiom the Dead Sea and thought we saw the Star of Bethlehem. Agatha always wanted to see Gelhsemane and the Kivcr Jordan, so I've brought her a bottle of water from the river. Agatha's never even been to New York." Miss Mudge's voice trailed off in a diminuendo of feeling. Yes, the Holy Land had glamor. The tiain whirled through the Indian night and dust poured in the windows like desert sand. An- gela lay awake, staring at the shadows on the ceiling in the stuf- fy compartment she shared with Patty and Mis. .Minton. Pounding wheels beat on her brain, disturb- ingly different from the vibra- tion of the boat. Patty tossed un- easijy on her hard bed behind the green curtain that shut her off fiom -Angela. Her aunt slept peacefully, with all her an.xious nights behind her in the past. "Patty," whispered Angela, "are you asleep, dear? I thought I hearil you tossing." "Xo, I'm wide awake and chok- ing with ^ust.^' â- ^isiTt it Ti'ightful? It's right down to my lunss. Why a'.cn't you sleeping?" "Oh, I have a little demon at woi-k. I can't close my eyes. .Aunt Xeil is sleeping like the dead. She always does. It's an easy con- science. Toss me a cigarette, An- gela, please." "Peihaps if we were to put out this beastly corridtu' light things would be better. It's just like a green eye winking in on us." "Here's my scarf. Hang it over the transom." "That's a bright idea. 1 don't suppose it will stock." Patty's strong young arms manoeuvred a temjiorary screen and she lay quiet, in darkness that was now complete. ".Angela," she said at last, "I'm going straight out to the Taj the minute we ar- rive at .Agra, for the moonlight is perfect tonight and we mightn't catch it again. Tomorrow night it might I'ain." Xone of them felt like luncheon when they returned to their hotel from seeing the Taz and the Gan- ges at Agra, India. They found Macduff at work on a new kind of cocktail. He was getting on with his list. He had crossed off the Blue Blazer in Jeiusalem, the Si<lecar at Shep- heard's, the Jaberwock at the Mena House, the Bombay Special at Bombay, the Thunderclap at -Agia, and was now due to try the Union Jack at Benares. He had decided not to go out on the Ganges, for he had been there before and knew the worst. In any event, he had « poor opin- ion of a race that did not drink. He was enjoying himself consid- erably and had no desire to look at the spindly legs of so many miserable men. It pleased him lo sit on a wide and shady verandah with a gla.ss in front of him, and a fakir trying to screw a penny out of his pocket. Macduff chuckled lo himself at the mere idea of anyone getting a farthing for nothing from him. He was really enjoying the voyage more than he would admit. The rois- terers weie settling down, and no- body bothered him now. Miss Mudge was a bore â€" too skittcr- ish. He had avoided her ever since Monte Cairo. Mrs. Wynant seemed like a sensible person, but he thought it dangerous to pafl» the time of day 'o any woman on a boat ; she might turn out to be another Mrs. Langford. His place in the bar was sacred now. He had glared cvepy intrud- er out of his corner seat, and it was just as much boycotted as if a placard were up: "Reserved for Macduff. The dojf will bite."

In Kent, their English home for two and a half years. Friends said they had gone to lonely llliec Island, off the coast of France's Brittany, which the flier bought last April. Give Up Kentish Home A reliable source said the Lind- berghs had given up their farm- house for good and, with their two sons, Jon and Land, left the coun- try. Up to a month ago, when they began appearing in parties at the home of American-born Lady Astor, they kept almost entirely to them- selves while in England. Made Flying Trip However, during the past year they have been to the United States and have made frequent flying trips to St. GlUla's Island, near llliec, to visit Dr. Alexis Carrel, with whom Col. Lindbergh in 1935 developed the ''artificial heart." Their youngest sou, Land, was born May 12, 1937, shortly after the Lindberghs returned from a trip to India. Their older son, Jon, who will be six on August 16, came with them to Kent two years ago last Christmas. The Lindberghs left the United States to live in England after Bru- no nichard Haupiman had been convicted of the kidnap-murder of their first child, Charles A., Jr. Hatless Mode Is Injurious Going Without A Hat Is Not Conducive to Lovely Locks, Says Beauty il-i-ert. Wear a hat outdoors if you want to keep your hair. The "hatless fad" which up- crops e\x;ry spring because of the notion that lots of sunshine will stop hair from falling and make it grow faster is in reality a major cause of baldness. "Going bareheaded outdoors is especially harmful in spring and summer," according to a scalp specialist. "While it is true that the hair, like vegetation, grows faster in summer, both the scalp and hair often become seared and bleached by loo much sun. "Harmful effects inevitably re- sult from steady exposure of the bare head to the two kinds of rays, ultra-violet and infra-red in direct sunlight, although both rays are beneficial in moderate 'doses'. "Sparingly, infra-red rays are a stimulant, especially to the scalp's blood system, wliile the ultra-violet expertly applied, have a tonic and chemical effect on the scalp tissues. "An excess of ultra-violet rays, however, dries the scalp and fades the hair. The hair becomes lus- treless and brittle, breaking oft or splitting at the ends." They're Not Colors .Neither black nor white are col- ors, and it is wrong to describe them as such. If you examine a spectrum, such as a rainbow, you will not find bla«k or white among the colors. White is only found in pure light, and is a combina- tion of all the colors; thus, wlien it is refracted, it breaks up Into the well-known spectrum. In it- self it is not a color. Black, on the other hand, is a total absence of all color, and it absorbs all hues that shine upon it, giving off none itself. 25-Pound Trout Goes Into Records OUILLIA, Ont.â€" William Wcis- mantel, of Springfield, N.Y., went a-fishing near here last week and caught a 25-pound trout, believed one of the largest on record.

Little Girls Give Hints To Teacher Ten Pupils Come Across With Constructive Schoolroom Suggestions Teachers in London, England, city schools were given a few hints about improving their work in an essay, "What I Would Do If I Were a Teacher," handed in by ono little girl. The youngster expects to be a teacher about 194S and in her day things will be modern. She won't permit any talking in the room. ''Every teacher would like to ke p nearly a!;solute order when necess.- â- â€¢," she writes, "and if the teacher would show them he or she meant it, they would get order. I would warn pupils polite- ly but firpily and if they didn't heed warning I would use some oth- er method." "Be Modern" Then she discovers another fact. "Ever since I have been goin? to School you usually hear from the teacher if you are chewing gum. I suppose it takes the child's mind off his work r id also isn't very po- lite. But I would let my pupils chew it because 1 believe it would help some of them to concentrate. I would be as modern as I could for I think the pupils will take more in- terest in you."
