We could do oh, a lot of things. It might ba fun." "It would be lovWy." She. put her nose a little nearer Shirley and sniffed quietly. "I'll call you up." said Shirley. She spoke as if It were a secret Valerie felt she must have agad at least ten years. Nobody had ever spoken of calling her up be- fore. Off-hand like that. As U It were nothing. ''I suppose you wouldn't forget thank you " she whispered hur- riedly. Dorothy and Paul, with Elise behind, near Mark, wers) moving down on them. "That is of course we're going away " "Mark told me. But I'll know when you get home," Shirley whis- pered back. "I'll be seeing you " She leaned and kissed Valerie quickly, almost as If no one must see. Reading of the Will The will was read on Friday. On Saturday, Dorothy and Paul left for home. Catlett, the chauffeur, load- ed them and their luggage into the town car, and Mark drove Val- erie in his roadster. She had lifted her face obediently for he>r aunt's kiss when Mark swung his long-nosed roadster Into the drive. He jumped out and ran into the house. "I thought it would be better for us to follow you than to try to crowd in." he told Paul. "Hadn't you better be getting on your bon- net and shawl, Val?" Valerie wondered if she was dreaming. She looked closely at Mark to be sure, he was in hia right mind. 'Are you going to take me to the station?" she asked. ' You didn't think I was going to leave you here, did you?" Dorothy opened her lips, but Valerie didn't wait to hear what came out. She was already leap- ins up the wMe stairs toward her room. "Do you really think this is quite wise?" asked Dorothy. "I had hoped to have a last talk with you about the child on the way to town." Dorothy lowered her voice again, and drew still closer. "Her wardrobe-" "You mean she needs new- clothes?" asked Mark. "I'm glad you reminded me. We'll look some up today as soon as your train pulls out." Valerie's Clothes That isn't exactly what 1 meant. You see, I've had no time to order all her mourning. She isn't even wearing the dress I got for her th diy before the funeral " Mark blessed the faint thud of Valerie's descending footsteps oa the stairs above. "She probably forgot." he apologized. ' After all. >ou eun hardly blame her at her I'ge " Valerie now eame into sight a.ound the bend in the stairs. A lilue beret was half ou her iiead, anj her coat hung by oue sltev<\ whi'.e she struggled into the other. Mark r.iught her just as she stumbled ilown the last two steps.

The Perfect Father '.Ste \-,>u at the station, Catlett,'' lie told the chauffeur. Tho man got in behind the wheel, and the big car purred smoothly away. Mark went iu for his hat .uuUi-o.it. and came out asaln to Valerie. She. loused terribly to tell him how marvelous he was. How much more the pertect father than any she had ever made up. "Hy the way. he wanted to know, "what are lovoy young wo- men weaving this season? Your aunt seemed to think you ought to have a new deal in frocks. And anything else- " VaUvie looked up wisely.

CHAMBERS Vegetable Cooking In boiling vegetables have the water boiling, when vegetable is put in, and keep it boiling. Add a teaspoon of salt for each quart of water. For strongly flavored vegetables such as cabbage, on- ions, cauliflower, turnips, use a large quantity of water and cook uncovered. By this method the odor is not so noticeable. For mild vegetables use a small am- ount of water and cook covered. Spinach and tomatoes do not need water added. White Sauce For Vegetable '2 tablespoons butter, 2 table- spoons flour, '* teaspoon salt, a few grains pepper, 1 cup milk or H cup milk and Vs cup vegetable water. Melt butter in saucepan; blend in flour and seasonings; stir in milk and cook until thick- ened. The Most Nourish meat Last week I promised you "Salad Dressing." Will you please pardon this delay for one week for in comes a request for "More about vegetable*'' for immediate use. To obtain the most nourish- ment from vegetables and still be the most protection a few rules should be observed. No doubt you all have eaten taste-less vege- tables with the flavor gone and incidentally the food value drain- ed down the kitchen sink. Baking in the skin is the best way to retain the food value of any vegetables or try cooking in the oven in very little water in a covered dish and b sure and save the water for sauces especially with onions and carrots: is this method splendid. Spinach also may be cooked very satisfac- torily this way. It is not quite as fine a method. Cheese Sauce for Vegetables To 2 cups of white sauce add H cup grated cheese. Stir cheese into the sauce and let stand in a warm place or in double boiler until cheese melts. Scalloped Vegetable* Use such vegetables as cooked peas, onions, asparagus, carrots, cabbage, celery, cauliflower. To 2 cups cooked vegetables allow 1 cup cream sauce. Combine; put in a buttered casserole or baking dish, top with buttered crumbs and bake in oven until heated through and browned on top. A combination of vegetables such as carrots and peas may be used. Mis* Chamber* tk-uaie* in-r^t.n.il lettrri irnni inlcrvstrd r?ader.

ISSUE 28 '41 Poised Woman Most Attractive Other Thinfl* Than He* Look* Matter Pout Can Be Acquired, But the Eirlier the Better It a woman ha* poise, h get* the most out of her beauty. If aha doesn't, her beauty la often overlooked. If you sit opposite a woman who la fidgety, who keeps twisting a ring on her finger, smoothing her hair, oroaeing and uncrossing bar feet, patting her face, you think. "What a nervous. Jittery womaa" no matter what she looks like. If you are introduced to a wom- an who is ill-at-ea&e, who U ao uncomfortable that she makes you sorry for her, you aren't likely to consider her a beautiful woman pretty, maybe, but not beautiful. WHILE STILL YOUNG Beauty in anyone but a young girl is tied up with poise, points out Alicia Hart, beauty specialist. It's an inner poise expressed out wardly by controlled, not jittery, movements, by the assurance that puts a woman la control of any situation in which she finds her- self, by a lack of stiffness that U caused by uncertainty. That is why a beautiful young girl who wants to be a beautiful woman must give thought to other things than her looks. She rnuit learn how to appear at ease, how to sit quietly enough so that hsr beauty can be recog- nized. Quick, jerky motions axe all right for a very young girl, but they spoil the impression a mature woman makes on those about her. Poise isn't hard to acquire once a girl realizes its importance. But it should be acquired while she ta still young, for the longer a worn an waits, the more bad habits she will have to overcome. Trend Toward Femininity Hand-Needlework Worn As Trimming on Plain Dresses Simple Patterns Easy to Do More femininity is an important new fashion trend.
