"LOK-rOP- UN . 60t aba p*cktd in Pocint Tins W^ ui ^^ .^^LEBBEUSMITCHELl SYNOt-SiiJ Charles Edward Chipping had been a matter at the Broolcfield School for boys for twenty years. Of a shy and diffident nature he bad cot in wrong with the boys â- t the start of his career as a school teacher, and had never won the friendship of his pupils. He had unforutnately, detained the class on the afternoon of an im- portant cricket game in which one af his pupils was to have been a star player. The game had been lost, and with that bit of disciplin- ary measure, the first possibility o{ winning the friendship of the boys. CHAPTER IV Invitation to Austria Chipping continued on to the masters' common room. They, too, would be departing: for the sum, mer, and he wanted to teJl them goodbye. He found Herr Max Staefel, the German master, a healthy comradely Viennese, cut- ting' up cake which his class had given him, and sharing it with the other masters. "Mind if I borrow this book to read on the train?" asked Hud- ton. "Go ahead," replied Sturgeon. "H. G. Wells," said Hudson. "Never heard of him." "It's his first. He'll never come to anything. It's too fantastic. Ab, Chipping, where are you going for your holiday?" "Harrogaet," replied Hudson for him. "He always does. Aren't you fed up with it. Chipping, after 20 years?" "It's a nice, quiet hotel and I'm used to it.' The school porter came in and Staefel invited him to have a piece of cake. "Thanks, but I've got work to CrPt, ^ THE RICHER, MORE SATISFYING, TEA ^if^roYoW^!> %> ^BttOtt^ viS^ %ie-7immm/llk be done. The 'cadinasLci's com- pliments, Mr. Chipping, and he'd like to see you in 'is study right away." Sudden silence followed as the porter left. Chipping's face light- ed up involuntarily. "I say, I'll bet that's about tak- ing over Woodward's house," said Hudson. "Congratulations, Chip- ping." The other masters chimed in. "Yes, indeed." "You certainly de- serve it after all this time." "So glad, old man." "It's quite a surprise, if so," said Chipping somewhat incoher- ently. "I had rather hoped, you know. Well, I think I'd better go." "See, Chipping," cried Max Staefel, "I knock on wood for you!" Charteris, the Headmaster, a andsome, kindly man of about 45, seemed embarrassed as Chipping entered his study. He hummed a little. "I suppose you have guessed why I wanted to see you Mr. Chipping." Passed By "Well â€" cr â€" I" smiled Chipping. "Mr. Woodward's retirement leaves a house-mastership to be filled." "Yes, sir," i-eplied Chipping in an anticipatory voice. "You are the senior master and normally the vacancy would go to you." Charteris hurried on at the apprehension that dawned in Chipping's face: "That is why I felt in fairr»ss I should explain to you personally why the Govern- ors and I have decided to appoint Mr. Wilkinson. We â€" er â€" felt that v.-ith your unusual gift for getting work out of the boys, you would prefer to concentrate upon teach- ing and leave the rather tiresome 30b of Housemaster to someone with special gifts in that direc- tion." "I undei-stand, .'lir," saiil Chip- ping, anxious t' end the interview and to get away and conceal his disappointment. "Though I daubt," continued Charteris, "that Mr. Wilkinson will ever turn out as many minor Latin poets as you have.'' "I quite understand, sir."' "I felt sure you would . . . well, I suppose vou're off for the holi- days?" "Er â€" yes â€" to Harrogate." "Well, have a pleasant time, and goodbye." Chipping walked rapidly bo his rooms. Twenty years he had been r.t Brookfield; he was first master and the Housemastership should have gone to him. He knew why It had not â€" his unpopularity with the boys. It was quite dark when there came a knock at the door. He did not respond, and the door was opened and Max Staefel ask- ed: "May I come in?'' "Yes, do. It's got dark, hasn't it?" He pulled the thain of the gas light and the tlame fiai'ed up full. Max closed the door and came up to him. "Chipping, I hear ... Is it true that Wilkinson â€" " "Yes, it's true," said Chipping curtly. "I'm sorry." "Thank you, Steafe!. I don't { say I'm not disappointed because I am. But there it is. Do you mind if we talk about something else?" He walked over to his desk and sac down. A silence fell. Staefel broke it, fteling his way. "I have planned a walking tour ... to my own country . . . through the Tyrol, the Salzkammertgut, to Vienna. 1 would be happy for you tij come with me." "Me go abroad?" said Chipping, really startled. "You will like it, I am sure," Max went on eagerly. "You like to climb, you say â€" the country is beautiful, , nd â€" " "It's very good of you, Staefel, very good, but really it's quite out of the question." "But why? Tell me that." "For one thing, I've booked my rooms at Harrogate and â€" " "Ach! Harrogate! That is a place for old ladies! Not for gay young fellows like you ind me!" "I dare say I do need a change," said Chipping, and hesitated. "But you do nat care for my company?" suggested Max. "I should be glad of it. Sia^el, very glad. As a matter of fact, I'm often â€" er â€" quite lonely, but »» "Then there is no more to be said," cried Max triumphantly. "It is settled!" "ButV my dear Staefel, I â€" " 53;arrange everything. We take the. London train, tonight. Pack yourself. Chipping. We have not much time." "Wait, Staefel, pleaseâ€"" Going On A Trip Abroad But Max had already left and shut the door. Outside Chipping could hear Max and Mason, an- other master. .Apparently thi^y had run into each other "Ah, pardon. Mason, and good- bye." " 'Bye, Schnitzel. Have a good time." "Thanks, I shall and Chipping is coming with me." "What!" shouted Mason, incred- ulous. "Old Chipping going abroad?" Chipping stiffened at the words. Why shouldn't he go abroad? The look of uncertainty and bewilder- ment on his face, gave way to something that partook of grow- ing excitement and pleasure. "To the Tyrolâ€" we shall climb," he heard Max's distant voice call. "Don't break your necks!" an- swered Mason.

CHAMBERS HALLOWE'EN AND YOUTH No day or season seems to offer such a legitimate reason for turn- ing back the clock, as does Hallowe'en. So join the children in the frolic and plan with them for a free and easy party after they have made the usual house to tiuuse can'. ..^s. Or, maybe this year, you have induced them to have games and frolic at home followed by a buffet supper, which all children love, and most gi-own ups will be joining in too. Firstly, a word about decorations. Of course you will have your table set long. The cover will either be white trimmed with some of the many fascinating crepe papers abounding with witches, cats and things or it will be all of paper (either made at home from the combinations of paper or very inexpensively bought). Your centrepiece will likely be a pumpkin Jack 0' Lantern and what fun to make it ! 1 would suggest having two baskets or plates at either end of the table filled with apples, pears, bananas and grapes. Scattered here and there "Junior" Jack O' Lanterns made from oranges are very effective. Some lollipops and other candy with nuts will add to the decorations and appeal to the palates of cU. Now, having the decorative side completed, we will proceed with the special feature of the evening â€" the real "eats." I suggest for you the following menu: Sandwiches â€" Egg ( Egg chopped finely with a iittle chopped onion added and parsley mixed with salad dressing. Peanut butter and honey mixed in equal proportions makes admirable spreading and is ever popular. Cake of the Witches Iced with yellow icing, egg yolk added to icing sugar with a little cream will do the trick. Decorate wtih small orange and black candies. • Spiced tea cakes Beverage Pumpkin Tarts Cocoa (topped with marshmallow) Spiced Grape Juice CAKE OF THE WITCHES 'li cup butter 1 cup sugar 3 egg yolks 1 teaspoon almond flavoring 1 teaspoon vanilla 1^4 cups cake Hour ^ cup milk 3 teaspoons Baking powder (level) Cream butter very thoroughly, add sugar slowly. .Add egg yolks beaten until thick. .Add flavouring. Sift well together baking powder and Hour, add alternately with flour to the first mixture. Icing made of the egg yolks. Whites may be used for a meringue for Pumpkin Tarts. SPICE TEA CAKES IVs cups sifted cake flour 1^ teaspoons baking powder Vt teaspoon soda ii teaspoon salt ^ teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg •â- 4 teaspoon cloves 1% teaspoons ginger ^ cup butter 4 tablespoons brown sugar 1 egg well beaten hi cup corn syrup ^i cup boiling water Sift flour and add baking powder, soda, salt and spices, sifting three times.

Ne.xt comes the flour altern- ately with the syrup, a little at a time, beating after each addition until smooth. Add boiling water mixing quickly to blend. Turn into small greased cup tins; bake in moderate oven for 20 minutes. Cool. Cover tops and sides with brown sugar frosting. • BROWN SUGAR FROSTING 4 tablespoons butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 4 tablespoons cream, % teaspoon vanilla, ^ teaspoon almond flavoui-ing. Cream butter, add sugar and beat well. Thin with cream until light consistency to spread; add the flavouring. SPICED GRAPE JUICE Given in this column with the recipes for grapes.

The valley below was flooded with sun- shine. -Across the valley and its miniature lake rose the mountains. Somewhere on one of the summits was Chipping, unless he was al- ready down and on the road back to the inn. Max looked through the tele- scope, and saw something: that made him call the landlord; mist was forming on the mountain side. -After a look through the tele- scope, the landlord responded: "Mists come up une.xpectedly, but so heavy a mist so early in the year is strange." "I hope ray friend Chipping gets back before the mist gets thicker." Chipping stood on a broad, slop- ing ledge beating his arms about him to keep warm. The collar of his Norfolk jacket was turned up. Rolling below him was a white wall of mist, shot through with a strange, me. cing yet beautiful light. "This is a nice business," he muttered grimly to himself. "I could be here all night!" he cupped his hands and shouted a long "Hel-lo-o-o!" There was a lonely ring to his voice in the mist now enveloping him. There was neither echo nor answer to his call. Turning in the opposite direction, he called again and listened in vain for a re- sponse. With a gesture of impa- tience he started to sit ctown, and loosened the pebbles and some stones under hi; feet and began to slide downward. He caught at a bush and sat down heavily. "Confound it!" he exclaimed, then listened intently to the omin- ous thundering fai- below of the dislodged stone.*. When the sounds had died awya, he reached in his pocket lor his pipe. He filled it and struck a match. .As he held the flames to the tobacco he h?ard a distant, eery call that seemed to come out of the white clouds above him. ' Hel-Io !" The cry was in a wo- man's voice. "Hel-lo!" "Good heavens! -A woman!" The match burned his fingers and he tossed it away. He stot'd up, shouted: "Hel-lo! Hello! -Are you in danger?" There was no response. "Well, upon my word !" he muttered, picked up his spiked stick and started to scramble cautiously up- ward. {To Be Continued > Choose Make-up To Dramiatize, Not Dominate Tbe Truly Chic Woman Should Wear A Coiffure and Clothes That Do Something for Her The truly chic woman is chic because she chooses makeup, a coiffure and clothes that really do something for her. When she enters a room people never say, "What a beautiful dress" or "Look at that hair" or "1 wonder That shade of lipstick she's wearing." Instead they say, "What a stunning woman." And therein lies the secret of her success. Her coiffure, makeup and clothes dramatize but never dominate her -Always, the smart woman's rea- son for wearing rouge and lipstick is to enhance and intensify her natural colouring. Therefore, she puts rouge or her cheeks where natural red spots show after she has been exercising violently â€" not on her ears or the hollow in her throat or far down on cheeks to- ward the jaw-bone. Perhaps unconsci'ously but very definitely she picks clothes that provide a lovely setting for her- self. Just as the wrong setting can spoil the most precious jewel, so can the wrong clothes ruin a woman's appearance, no matter how attractive her face and fig- ure. -And right clothes do not ne- cessarily mean expensive ones.
