MARRYING MARK .... by Violette Kimball Dunn SYNOPSIS After Mark Alexander's beauti- ful wife Ellen died, her whole fam- ily became interested in Valerie, Mark's adopted daughter. All save Shirley seemed to have their eye on the trust fund left Valerie by Ellen. They all, Dorothy. Elsie, and their husbands, want Valerie to live with them, but Mark will hear none of It. Despite disap- proving servants and relatives, he takes Valerie on an automobile trip. On the way home, they help Lucy Tredway. a stranded motorist who runs a traveling library. CHAPTER NINE Lucy smiled at Valerie, who In- stantly smiled back. Something warm and friendly seemed to flow hetween them. AS if Lucy would be her friend. Straight off with- out waiting to' get acquainted. Which was almost exactly what Lucy was thinking. "Well, now that's over." saiJ Mark, "we can get dowu to busi- ness. You can see you can't sit by the road in this " "Oh no " cried Valerie. The Idea seemed Uttle short of fan- tastic. "But you don't understand. You see I live In the Ark." explained Lucy. "The library is only the front half. I sleep and cook and everything In the back. It's really rather sweet when you'v-? got used to It." She smiled again at Valerie, who hung on her words. " I think this is the best plan." said Mark. "Let us take you to Alllngton, which according to the ma.r> seems to be the end of the day's going You can put up a' the hotel overnight, and tomorrow we'll find a service station, and they can come and tow iu the Ark. and doctor her up. VVV couldn't leave you here no foolin' " "Oh. please. 1 said Valeria. They couldn't have found this charming person in the breeches, only to lose her Immediately. Lucy looked out into the rain. She was thinking fast. It had been dawning on her for days that the end of the Ark was near It had been breaking down with semi-weekly regularity for a couplt of months, and as each reualr man took a larger bite out of her small capital he shook his head a Uttle harder than the last, and muttered more ominous warnings. Valerie Comforts Lucy She knew Allingtou well. It was on her regular route. Sre knew the fcotel, although she had never step- ped foot Into it. She knew Mark's name, as most of the world did. nd she knew defeat, having me'. It before. The books might sell for enough to cover the towing. The whole family enjoys if! Healthful, refreshing Spearmint Gum is a treat for young and old. And the chewing helps keep your teeth clean, bright and at- tractive. The delicious flavor sweetens your breath, freshens you up. Join the millions of happy families who enjoy Spearmint after every meal. Maybe n Junkie would buy in the Ark. She had just about enough in her purse to pay for one night at the Allington hotel. She turned from the rain back to the friendliness that 'lied Mark's jewel of a car. "King for a day." she thought. "Well, why not?" It would be something to remember in the lean days to fol- low. "It suonds like a grand idea," she said, "and thanks for bother- ing." Valerie siged with relief. She cast a look back at the Ark, stand- ing forlornly in the driving rain. 1 1 was rather sad to leave it there alone. She knew just why there were sudden tears way back in Lucy's eyes. It was almost like abandoning a child, or an animal in trouble. But what else could they do? "Valerie has a sort of maternal instinct for everything that runs by motor," explained Mark. He put his arm around her. "You know It isn't suffering there, dear heart." "I know," said Valerei. "It's just silly. Maybe you'd better drive now. It's raining pretty hard " "Right," said Mark. "I I think I'll just climb over and sit with Lucy," she suggested quietly. He. helped her over the seat, and slid into her place, and started his engine. Through its quiet hum he could hear their voices, broken by occasional laughter. Once when he looked briefly over his shoulder, he saw that Valerie had clasped Lucy's hand firmly in her own. Lucy in Primrose Taffeta They sat in the Alllngton lounge after dinner, talking and listening to an orchestra that came from somewhere just far enough away. Valerie thought it was all terribly exciting. It gave her a thrill to see Lucy In a dress of primrose taf- feta that she herself had never worn. For with the plans, and the storm, they had forgotten all about Lucy's clothes. It wasn't until they were coming into tho outskirts of Allington that Lucy suddenly remembered she had no- thing to wear. "But It will be fun!" Valerie had cried. "Because I have such a lot of things my father bought me. Some I've never even worn. You see. I'm tall for my age, and you're not so very tall for yours. Oh, please " And so Lucy wore the primrose taffeta, which fitted her perfectly, even to the slippers. They shopped together in the hotel drug store for a toothbrush and a cake of Lucy's favorite soap. It seemed quite impossible she had known Lucy only ..ince early afternoon. Valerie thought of to- morrow and good-bye with a strange hurt. But she put it away, remembering that after all they were all three here now. She was afraid somebody would suggest go- Ing to bed. but nobody did. Mark just put his arm around her as she sat beside him on the big couch, and she napped on his shoulder .as he talked quietly to Lucy, on his other side. "My doings must be an awful bore to you," said Lucy at last. "They are Hot," he said. "I never Imagined a traveling library. How did you?" Lucy Gives Up m "Oh I was brought up on books. Practically nothing else but. If my father had known anything was going on outside the covers of books he'd have guessed there was something phony in the way the bank was running his affairs. But of course the money lasted until he went. I'm thankful for that. And tilings didn't really crash until I'd finished college. I have simply a swell education. I've even got a couple of degrees I snatched when nobody was looking.". "Don't go modest," said Mark. "I'm greatly impressed. The mere sound of a degree incites me to reverence." "1 haven't been able to cash In on it, though. I wanted to teach. I THERE'S MONEY IN WRITING when you know how to write wh.'it editors and publishers re- quire.

I kept thinking atbout books. You'd be surprised how much people want them. I mean all kinds of people. In the country especially women too far for libraries so I decid- ed to take a library to them." "It's a grand Idea," said Mark. "I wonder nobody ever thought of It before." "Oh, they have. Heaps of time. Only not in this particular local- ity." "I'll bet it went over big." Lucy looked at him sadly. "Then you lose because I'm folding up tomorrow."

Spacing of Window* Aids in Appearance Location of doors and windows have an important bearing on the house's interior appearance. These are a matter not of cost but of forethought as to their affect on the exterior. Through proper spacing and grouping of doors and windows a simple rectangular house can be given character and pleasing var- iations from its neighbors. Corner windows may oitt'ii ba used effectively to obtain wall space in small rooms. Where win- dows of the usual type are used, they should not be placed too near the exterior corners as this has the effect of making the struc- ture appear weak at the corners, where it should appear strong and solid. TABLE TALKS By SADIE B. CHAMBERS A Vegetable Chat Now that the gardens are at their best and one is Just literally surrounded with vegetables, one cannot help but think of how fortunate we are to have this food and vitamins at our very doors. As blood regulators, vegetables are incomparable. Those most helpful in this respect are s,pin- ach, celery, chard, lettuce, toma- toes, fresh cucumbers, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, beans, beets, parsnips, lima beans, radishes, po- tatoes, turni.ps, asparagus, onions and peas. Next of Importance is to keep in mind those vegetables furnishing iron to the blood, such ad spinach, beets, carrots, chard, watercress, cabbage, asparagus, string beans and brussels sprouts. Rich In Vitamins It is not so many years ago that research was commenced on vita- min study and now it is a house- hold word. It was found that green vegetables, fruits and milk and milk products contain a very special substance necessary to growth and health. By experi- menting in the feeding of animala it was found that, when deprived of those health-giving substances, growth was retarded or stopped entirely and the general health showed a breakdown. When the vitamin foods were again given there was almost immediate evi- dence of positive improvement in health. The richest in vitaminn are lettuce, celery and raw cab- bage. Tomatoes are amongst the most important of the vitamin vegetables. The salts and acids of vege- tables are better tonics and blood- builders than the finest medicine. Stalk and leaf vegetables do more than any artificial method to rid the body of poisons and regulate those troubled with constipation. Spinach contains so much of this fibrous material, that it is called the "broom of the digestive tract." A Few Vegetable Rules For All Ths Family 1. Every day use one yellow vegetable or tomatoes. 2. Every day use a raw vegetable, raw fruit or cooked acid fruit. .3. Every day use one leafy vege- table. 4. Every day use one starchy vegetable. 5. Every day use two vegetables other than potatoes. 8. Can vegetables for winter use, especially tomatoes. 7. Everyone should strive to have a garden. Where this U Im- possible one-fifth of the food bud- get should be spent for fruits and vegetables.

Style Trends In Waistlines Seam la New Trick In Sn- son's jackets All Waist- lines Are Cut In, In New Fall Mode Watch your waistline not only for slenderness but because many interesting fashion ideas are ex- pressed in ple>au and gathers and a lowered seam. A seam at the waistline the new low one Is decidedly a new trick of this season's Jackets. The en- circling seam is a decisive way of cutting In at this point. All waistlines are cut In.

Germany Faces Doctor Shortage Declaring that recent demands of the army have caused a short- age of physicians, the German press has urged the public to call doctors only in urgent cases. Doctors also must make their trips economically to save gaso- line and must not be burdened with trivialities, newspapers said.
