CAIUMET IS PRICED SURPRISINGLY LOW MARRYING MARK . * . by Violette Kimball Dunn SYNOPSIS After Mark's beautiful wife, Ellen died, Mark, for almost the first time, became aware of his adopted daughter Valerie, four- teen. Ellen's relatives Insist that Valerie come to live with them, but Mark is just as insistent that she stay with him. Dorothy, El- len's sister, has her eye on the trust fund that Ellen left Valerie, and has already begun to make efforts to obtain custody of the girl. She insists that Valerie wear black, but Mark sys she can have whatever clothes please her most. CHAPTER VI. Valerie went into her dressing room and opened the big clothes closet to pass final sentence on the solemn dresses in an orderly row on their hangers. It hardly eemed possible she was about to wipe the place bare of them and start all over again. She pulled down the things, be- ginning with the ones she special- ly disliked, and carrying them in to pile neatly on her bed. Then she remembered Mark, and the hilarity of their shopping. Nothing Mark did could be so very wrong. And Mark had said get rid of them. She got out the pile of boxes from the corner of the dressing room, and began to untie them, lifting out delicious layers of white tissue paper, from which rose faint but exciting scent. As she shook out the bright chiffons, the organdies, and the tweeds, she forgot Ellen and her theories. Forgot the empty rooms below. Forgot, for the time, even that there was Mark. She was balanced in enchant- ment before the newly filled clos- et when Mrs. Banford walked into the room. Valerie jumped and confronted her, standing be- fore the swaying garments defen- sively. "I I'm afraid 1 didn't hear you knock " she said. What About Mourning? "I knocked three times," said Mrs. Banwood. "What in the world !" "Just just my new things. I I'm sorry I didn't hear you." Mrs. Banwood fingered a bright chiffon critically. "And who is going to wear these?" she asked. ''1 I am." Valerie ran past her into the bedroom and gathered a pile of sober garments from the bed. "These are for you." She thrust them into Mrs. Banwood's arms. "My father said you would know what to do with them. You see, somebody may need them " "Who bought you the others?" "My father." The words made magic. She wanted to say them over and over "my father." When she said it, she could see the u gly gi'ay of Mrs. Banwood's dis- approval fade. "Aren't you going to wear any mourning?" The woman seemed able to speak in nothing but ques- tions. They sounded bald, even to her own ears. "My father says it's wh: t's in your heart not what color you have on." Mrs. Banwood looked down at her accusingly. "And your mother hardly in her grave!" Nervous tears filled Valerie's Uumteel&i Slow Burning CIGARETTE PAPERS NONE FIHCK MAOf AUTOMATIC BOOKLET ISSUE 30 '41 eyes. She could almost see the world turning again into the dim and dusty place where she had lived so long. Mrs. Banwoou was a little troubled at the tears. After all, the child was not her business. Let them dress her in rainbows, for all of her. Housekeepers were not at a premium with conditions what they were, and places like this didn't grow on bushes. She tried to smile reassuringly at Val- erie, who found the grimace terri- fying. "Thanks for the things," said An-.. Banwood. She settled the clothes more firmly in her long arms. "I know two little girls who aren't lucky like you. They will be thankful enough to have them." Shirley and Elisa Everything nice seemed to b happening at once. Also several things that were not nice. Th best was that the day before they were going away, Shirley called her up. Valerie had thought sh had forgotten. Mark was in town, and Cliil- tern called her to the telephone in the upstairs sitting room. "Will you speak to Miss Enuicott on the telephone, if you please, Mist Valerie?" in Chiltern's best man- ner. Valerie had almost forgotten the smooth lovely tones of Shir- ley's voice. Shirley's message wai brief. She wanted, she said, to remind Valerie of their engage- ment. "I've been up to my ears, dar- ling, or I'd have phoned before. Going 1 over the proof of a silly book, and trying to finish a story for an exasperated editor only two jumps behind me. Could I drive over and get you tomorrow?" "Tomorrow we're going away," said Valerie. She would have been almost sad if she hadn't wanted to go so much. There was something about Shirley that was so sweet. "Could could you please have m when we get back?" It took cour- age to suggest it, but she couldn't quite give it up. "We wouldn't be gone so very long. I do so want to come to your party!" "Of course," said Shirley over the wire. "Perhaps it will be even nicer, because we'll have more time to think about it. Call me as soon as you get back, and we'll make a date. Maybe Mark would come for dinner and bring you home." "Oh yes " It was wonderful how things straightened out. "Have a good time, darling. Don't forget when you get home " "1 won't good-bye thank you." She sat still for a moment after she put the telephone back. What was not so nice was the sigiit of Elise's maroon car in the drive, i,., she came back from a flying trip to the kennels, iate that afternoon. She would have run away to lose herself in Urn shrubbery if Elise hadn't caught sight of her just as the big front door swung open. Elise turned back and drew Valerie into the house beside her. Valerie led the way into the main drawing room, which always awed her slightly. But she felt that for- mality belonged to Elise. She sat on the edge of a petit-point chair, because Elise had sat down and was undoing her furs. "I happened to be passing the gates, and thought I'd run in and see if 1 could carry you off to drive a little," she said. "You must need cheering up, darling. You'vt been on my mind night and day, and I'd have run in days ago, but I thought it more tactful to leave you and your dear daddy to get a bit acquainted." Klise got up and went io Val- erie's chair and held out her hand, "We're going to be great pals," she said. "Come on we'll drive till dinner time; then 4'll bring you back and your daddy may be home, and perhaps you'll take pity on me and give me a bite to eat. Wouldn't it be sweet jutt ua three?" Valeria had to think very quickly. She let Elis* take her hand, although she got up and itood beside her. "Oh yes thank you " sha said. "But you see, we're going on a trip. Tomorrow morning. Very early. My father may not get home until late tonight. And I'm packing at least, I'm helping " (To be continued) Fire-Hose Made To Fight Nazis Historic Mill Tumi Out 1,000 Miles of it Since War Began To fight the. Nazi's rain of incen- diaries on Britain, 1,000 miles of flre hose have been turned out since the war began by the wea- vers In a north of England village, says the Montreal Star. Here craftsmen were weaving on their hand looms two hundred years before the mill from which It came began the manufacture of up-to-date canvas hose. They made by hand the sailcloth, the tradition runs, for Nelson's famous flagship "Victory." Weavers Turn It Out The mill in which their des- cendants work has produced more than eig-ht thousand miles of fire- hose by modern machine methods. One order was for 200 miles of it. It was in this same village that two brothers working In a cellar, wove the first circular tube which eventually led to the making of flax hose-piping. They hit on the Idea when trying to discover a sim- pler way of making purses. Open-Air Meal Fine For Health It's Lots of Fun For the Children Great Many Ad- ults Lova A Picnic Children love meals out-of-doors. Nowadays, when every family owns a car and beaches and wor are so handy to the towns, the old fashioned children's picnic ought to come hack In better form than ever, writes Angelo Patri, child psychologist. It would do the moth- ers good to get a day off and spend It with the children in the open air. Eating in the open, picnic fash- ion, the good home-cooked food would be. a rare treat. Hot dogs at home are ordinary compared to the good smelling messes mothers take out of the big thermos Jars. There Is always an ice cream man about to supply the most essential dish of nil. Home fun. home-cooked food, neighborly sharing of good time* seems to be slipping into the past. Now Is a goixi time to bring them back for the refreshment of body and spirit. Do Women Dress As Men Prefer? Eat More Fish Instead of Pork Housewives Preparing the Family Meals Can Help tho Government in Two Ways by Following This New Rule Department of lishorles officials and the fish industry are hopeful ni.iny Canadians can be persuaded to eat fish cakes or fried fillets of fish for breakfast Instead of bacon or ham, now that the call has gone out for Canadians to eat less pork products. A promotion program :o iucrciisa fish consumption lias been going on for some time, deportment of- ficials said last week, and demon- strators more from town to town telling housewives ihe- benefits of fish in the diet, and showing how to cook it. FISH INDUSTRY WILL Bli.NKKIT With the bacon board asking con- sumers to cut down their consump- tion of bacon and ham and other pork products and prices of other meats fairly high, department offi- cials regard this as an opportune time to get Canadians into the way of eating fish. "I am sure the fish industry will be fully alive to this opportunity," said Dr. D. B. Finn, deputy minis- ter of fisheries. "While bacon and fl9h taste different both are rich in protein and from a nutritive stand- point are similar," he said. Along the coast fish cakes rnado from salted or dried fish are a fairly common breakfast diet, but Inland they are not used. Eskimo Woman Granted Divorce For the first time in history an Eskimo woman was granted a divorce in Alberta Supreme Court when Mr. Justice T. M. Tweedie granted a decree nisi to Kim- maner, otherwise known as Marie Theresa. Defendant to tha action was "Parker," an Eskimo living at Chesterfield Inlet, N.W.T. The plaintiff, who formerly lived at Chesterfield Inlet, now is domici- led in Edmonton and was inter- preter for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police at Chesterfield. Writer Lists Number of Fash- loni Not Popular With Male* You think women dress to please men, asks Alicia Hart. Well, If you are right, then why Is It that s'nim women: Wear flat-heeled shoes, tailored hlrts and plain felt hats with man- nish suits? (Men Invariably hate uch severe get-ups.) Buy completely wild, completely crazy hats? Anything that makes the average male feel conspicuous usually Infuriates him (Being seen with a woman in an attention-get- ting hat generally makes him feel conspicuous.) Hate Severe Get-Ups Use scarlet nail polish? (Can you name more than one you ever heard say he liked It?) Keep rignt on wearing girdles? (Just remember how many times your husband has said that you look better without one.) Wear perfume only for dress-up occasions and then wear too much of it? (Men like perfume but a little goes a long way.) Tolerate chipped and cracked nail polish? Prefer ultra-chic clothes to pretty ones? Choose heels so high and slender that a graceful walk is quite out of the question? Wear sports hats that won't stay on in a high wind? Cling to boxy jackets and other clothes that hide the natural lines of the figure? (The only figure a man thinks should be hidden be- hind loose folds of material Is the bad fiRurn.) Wear black continually? Reshape their mouths with lip- atick a quarter of an inch thick? Do you still think women dresa to please men? SLIM DRESS HAS PANEL NOVELTY TABLE TALKS By SADIE B.

Fill All The Jar*! I read the other day that a ilogan of ths last war waai "Eat what you can and what you can't eat, can." Once again ws ar at war and I believe that for thu Canada of ours, with our surplus of food and our richness in fruiU and vegetables, one of the slogans should be: "Let us fill all the Jars." Firstly consider your own family and maka every preserve, jelly and jam that they like. Then from the surplus, let us prepare for the many, many corners of the earth to which we may be ask- ed to send food. So here's to the "United Home Front!" First 1 am going to give you few general suggestions, which seem this time of year to be a daily topic. For yuur very best results do not use fruit unless it is sound, ripe, of a good color arid shape. DoD not be overly interested in the bargain counter when it comes to fruit and vegetables. It just doe* not pay. In choosing your jars, pick thuse which will best serve your family as to size, ao that there muy be no leftovers to spoil. Test all jars before using. Ad- just rubber rings, fill with water and invert to test for leaks. Dis- card any jar which cannot be made air-tight. This is always economy. Always use fresh rubber rings. Always sterilize jars thoroughly, . and if possible, give them a sun- drying and 1 guarantee there will be no spoiled fruit. Have you had trouble with cer- tain fruits darkening m the pre- paration say peaches, pears and apples? If using cold pack methods, as soon as your jar has been filled with fruit, pour on the boiling syrup. [ using the other methods peel at a time only the fruit which your kettle will ac- commodate, so that the fruit will not have to sit waiting for the cooking. Light Syrup Use 1 cup sugar ID ^ cups water or half and half of sugar and corn syrup to tho same proportion of water. This is especially good for peaches and pears. Medium Syrup Use 1 cup sugar lo 1 cup water or half and halt of corn syrup and sugar to the same proportion of water. If you wish you may use the "no sugar" method and use 1 cup corn syrup to 1 cup water. Heavy Syrup This type is suitable for the very (art fruit such as churrieg, berries at' all kinds nr th plums. Some prefer this type for peaches too. 2 cups sugar to I cup water or half and half again of sugar and syrup to 1 >-up \\.UIM N.B. Always when mixing sugar syrup and water place over a low heat at first until all la dissolved, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Open Kettlo Canning Simmer only enough fruit at a time, that may be completely cov- inv-i with ,-iyrup. Sterilize jars and covers and fill with hot fruit and syrup while jars aru still vury hot and sterile. Always till jars to overflowing HIM : v .ml ti'iilt an.l s;. nip. w:n.r jars arc still very hot. If using a knii'e to insert in jar to remove bubbles, be sure it is sterile. Dip the new rubber rings in boiling water before adjusting on jar. invert jars in cooling to tost for leakage-. Cold-Pack Canninng Pack the raw fruit closely in hot sterile jars. Have syrup boil- ing before adding it. Kill jars just two-thirds from top, to allow for expansion. Slip sterile knife around for the escape of air-bubbles. Place on rubber rings, dipping in boiling water and SI-.M ili/ed lids. Tiylilcu; seal, tliuti Ioo*un tops one-half turn. In using hot water buth, place, jars in water near their own tem- perature. Be sun to give water time to boil after jars are placed in hath.

Steam Preoure Canning Follow the directions given by the manufacturer. This really is the best method to insure perfect canning especially of nn>;"s and vegetables. Some Touch-Up* If currants are available, when doing blut'iu-rrics combine in half .measure. If not currant season, add lemon juice it gives real character. In canning peaches, crack a few peach stones with a hammer and add them to your jars one or two to each jar. You will be sur- pri.ted at the added flavor. Who does not know the trick of adding cloves or cinnamon stick* to pears? I like this treatment or plums as well.
