N-- ' I I « «? ^ 'A Promenade Deck . . by Ishbel Ross t Synopsis A luxurious five-month cruise â- round the world aboard the "Marenia" brings together a group of passengers for adven- tures, romantic, entertaining . . . and tragic . . . Like in "Grand Ho- tel" these passengers offer a study in human actions and reactions which unconsciously bare their •ouls. . . . These characters are aboard the ship: Macduff, dour Scotchman, single, of middle age; Miss Mudge, school teacher, spend- ing the savings of 20 years; An- gela, faithful wife of Lovat, gig- olo; Dick Charlton, first officer; Clare, a person of experience; Joan, a dissipated flapper; Jen- ny, run-avsay wife, and Peter; Captain Baring, master of the ship . . . and his soul. No, go on with the story. "Why are you happy, Jenny?" His paze was on her suddenly, tool and seaichinir. He causht her hand, turned it over and kissed the cupped palm. Jenny did not answer. Peter brought out his cijraiette case, a fiat gold one, with hi.s in- itials eriKraved in the corner. Jenny had always admired it, and »he felt sure that there was a â- tory connected with it, for he seemed to prize it more than any other thing he possessed. He took wit a cigarette, flipped the case over to her, and remarked: "Put it in your bag, Jenny." "Why?" "Merely because I want you to. It's something I'm extraordinarily fond of. Don't forget that." "You must expect to have your pockets picked in Bangkok." "Perhaps I do." He smiled and she dropped it Into her bag. Leaving the train at Bangkok, they drove past trim white bouses and through immaculate ttrcets. They boarded a launch and (ailed up the Menani to the king's palace, slowly approaching the Wats that cluster around it. The scene seemed to Jenny to have sprung full blown from the pages of Hans Anderson. They walked past the dcvas, giant grotes(|Ues intended to frighten away the devils. Helpless Without You "I think when we choo.sc our home in England, I should like a deva to guard my door," said J^nny, laughing at the spiked mojjstcrs. They wandered through the courtyard.s of the compound, Jen- ny's face alight with interest. Peter was silent. She had rarely seen hirn look so handsome. "It's nearly twelve o'clock," he remarked, twisting his elbow to look St his wrist watch. "As if time mattered in the least! I feel that this is a spot where hours have no meaning." They went into the temple that held the F-merald Buddha. It was like going into a dark cave filled with green water. For several minutes they could see nothing but a filtered jade mist, for the sun was still in their eyes. Jenny leaned on her parasol and .ested. Issue No. 30 â€" '38 "Jenny darling!" said I'eter, urgently. "Yes?" She swung around in re- sponse to something in hi.s voice, lie touched her hand find whis- pered: "It's nothing. It doesn't matter, but you're very helpless, aren't you, dear?" She noticed that he looked a little strained, and that his hands were shaking. "Without you, 1 should be, Peter." CHAPTKR XV Peter squeezed her arm, then wandeied off to look at the carv- ing in the temple. Jenny stood in contemplation before the Km- erald Buddha. She stared at him until she was half-hypnotized. An- gela came walking up to her. "1 think, in a way, that this is one of the best of the Buddhas," she remarked. "It goes so well with the bright gimcrackery of Bangkok," said Jenny. "Isn't it an amusing place?" "I've always thought it the most exotic place on earth. Have you seen the white elephants?" "My husband and 1 have just been looking at them." "Oh, is he about?" "He was, a minute ago." Jenny looked round, but there was no sign of Peter. "He's al- ways wandering off," she explain- ed. "He's a born traveler, but he forgets that he has me on his hands at times." Disappearance. They were walking through the courtyard now, Jenny turning her head from side to side. "I'm looking for Peter," she said. "Pm would be so easy to lose a husband among the wats of Bangkok." "Rather! All those winding stairways and giant devas. He's probably hidden behind a deva!" "Should we leave the courtyard and look somewheie else? But he may come back, expecting to find me here." "You stay where you are .ind I shall stroll outside. He may have gone towards the gate." Jenyn stood in the middle of the courtyard, leaning on her parasol. Everyone else was trooping out. They were all on their way to the Phya Thai Palace for lunch- eon. Peter could not fail to see her, standing there so conspicu- ously in the center of the count- yard. It must be fully half an hour since he had looked at his watch and said it was twelve o'- clock. Had something happened to Peter? But how ridiculous to think that a competent person like Peter should come to harm. "I shall go through these build- ings, aiul you take the others, An- gela, will you please?" said Jenny, indicating the two to the left. "I'm getting frightfully nervous." "Don't, my dear. There's no- thing to worry about at all. Your husband knows his way about. I think you should stay in the courtyard until he comes and finds you." Jenny ignored her warning and hurried across the cobbles on feet that were now winged with alarm. It was most di.sf|uietinp. She raced from building to building. When she rejoined .Angela she was pant- ing, and her eyes were wide with fright. Fresh Certainty "Jenny, my dear," said Angela, "the thing for you to do is to come back to the hotel with me. N'oth- ing is to be gained by staying here." Jenny was at last persuaded to leave the palace. She was droop- ing now. A thought flashed like a thunderbolt through Jenny's mind. The words sprang to her lips before she could check them: "Have you seen Mrs. Langford about?" "No," said .Angela. "I'm sure 8he didn't come with us today. Johnny was looking for her from end to end of the train, and is now in a huff because he couldn't find her." (To be Continued) Letters from Canada bearing postmarks reading "Observe Sun- day" are said to be worrying those running football betting pools in Britain because they fear the idea might spread there, with all mail marked "Don't Gamble". England has just learned that nearly half the motor drivers in- volved in fatal road accidents are under 30 years of ag«. Empty Glass Jars Have Dozen Uses Can Be Made Into Bird Houses; Plants Transported In Them Bu many foodstuffs come In glass Jars now that one has plenty of Ihem for every possible need. Here are a few uses: Partly cut a small hole out of the tin lid of a large Jar and bend the cut part down to form a shelf. Place the lid securely on the Jar and fas- ten the Jar on the limb of a tree near the house. Wrens will use It for a home. The shelf is convenient for alighting and the glass permits one to study how the wrens, moth- er, and babies, conduct their home life. Containers For Seeds If em!)roidery is a pastime, glass jars are most adaptable to use for keeping the floss from becoming tangled. Too, It permits one to see Just what colors are on hand. One woman carries a few Jars with her in llie car, and when she wants to transport a few plants she can place them in the Jar, punch holes in the lid and take them with- out injury to the car. Her husband did not object to her taking small transplants in the car but did not have any patience with the little piles of dirt which had sifted from her newspaper carrier. Where one collects from the gar- den large quantities of seeds In the fall, Jars make splendid storage con- tainers, as the seeds cannot spill, what kinds and how many can be seen at a glance. Fashion Flashes Grapes are printed on white for a smart dress and jacket cos- tume. The bodice of the frock is draped and tied at the neckline, and the fitted jacket ties in a similar bow. With it is worn a disk of white straw with a third how of the print at the brim front. Elastic satin is printed in a small all-over leaf pattern for a trim bathing suit. A gypsy cotton play suit, gayly striped, consists of draped brass- iere and full, pleated shoits. Veils have by no means shot their bolt! Women have become, and are still entirely veil-con- scious, and they'll be worn a great deal this fall. Strawberry pink and a new cer- ise shade are added to the sum- mer colors, while dusky pink, flesh and other shades are fea- tured in many of the new collec- tions. Dr. Joseph W. Mellow, who wrote a 16,000,000-word treatise on chemistry between 1912 and 1937, has died in Putney, England. Girls Fight "Duel" For Man's Love MEXICO CITY.â€" A "duel" in which two girls punched and claw- ed each other until they were both nude to win the love of a gay caballero known as "El Pichi," was reported last week from Cuer- navaca, Morelos State, by the newspaper Universal. The object of their affections watched the battle and when the girls were teo exhausted to con- tinue, he ordered them to em- brace each other and promised to decide later which was more de- serving of his love. « Things to do with Raspberries » Here are a few suggestions which will help you to servo as many raspberries as possible, in as many different ways as po^i- ble, while the short season lasts.

Nervous disorders and behav- ior problems are more likely to affect children from well-to-do homes than those brought up in poverty, according to experiments carried out in London, England. The experiments were conduct- ed by Dr. Lindsay Keustattcr, a clinical research assistant in the Department of Psychological Medicine at Guy's Hospital. He sought to discover w-hether pov- erty and bad social conditions had any effect in producing nervous disorders. Selected Group* For this task, the results of which are described in the medical Journal, The Lancet, Dr. Neustat- ter selected three groups of 50 families. Nine per cent, of the children in the poorest group were restless or irritable in their first year of life. In the well-to-do group 30 per cent, were restless or irritable. Well-to-do children showed much moi-e worry, instability of mood, timidity, aggressiveness and ob- stinacy than children from the poor families. Nearly three times as many provided behavior pro- lems. The poorer children showed shyness, fear of noise and punish- ment. Well-to-do children showed more fear of the dark and of animals, nearly one in five of the rich chil- dren showed abnormal fears without rational foundation. None of the poor children studied was thus affected. Twenty per cent, of the poor children were classified as ner- vous, 24 per cent, partially ner- vous, and 66 per cent, displayed no nervous symptoms. Of the well-to-do children, 38 per cent, were nervous, 26 per cent, par- tially nervous and 36 per cent, not nervous it all. Knitted Linen Garments Cool Fine-Twisted Linen Thread Knits Up Very Light â€" Paris Is Using A Great Deal Of It. PARIS. â€" Here in Paris women are seeking holiday clothes that look as cool as they feel and vice versa. To meet the demand Aileen Rice is knitting summer things in a new fine-twisted linen thread which she says knits up lighter and cooler than any yarn yet dis- covered. Some stitches give a sur- face as refreshing to the eye as those thirst-quenching Italian wat- er ices called granite. This yarn is featured in three new exclusive neutral tones. Ail- een Rice offers hand-knitted mod- els in these tones as a change from conventional cotton and lin- en holiday frocks. Her use of special stitches lifts them out of the ordinary sports class and gives them a distinguished character of their own. Some work into a fab- ric as airy as crepe chiffon. Oth- ers vie in sheevness with lace. Both one and two-piece frocks are favored. They are simple, with very short sleeves and easily fitted shoulders.
