He had dled away his time throughout the morning, watching Junior play @bout his tiny room with build- ing blocks. Sometimes, as Janet watched him from the kitchen, where she was labeling the fruit she had just received from home, a sense of pity overwhelmed her. But her pride was strong. And she realized that Kenneth had meant to hurt her the night before by his eruel accusations concerning Paul McLean. A terrible sense of in Justice smote her when she thought of Carlie. That the woman could have been reduced so low by her Jealousy seemed incredible. She Enew now that Carlie must have loved Dr. McLean in her own pos- sessive way. Had she but known the depth of her feeling for him, she would never have made Mrs Dumont her companion. It had been for Carlie's pleasure alone she ogreed to accompany her on that memorable dinner party to the Inn the party that had caused all the mischief when she and Paul were ditched in the rain and forced to spend the night at the roadside. This was what she had written to Ken. And the hailf-truth of her statements could not be denied. Her husband 'would not permit her to tell the full story. She had had to admit to him the individual ac cusations. And they sounded so degrading, so unlike the true spirit of the affair, she scarcely blamed him for his attitude. "Today's our tea engagement with the Perkinses," he reminded her at the luncheon table. "'It's im- portant that we keep it, too. You know I'm looking forward to that big contract from old man Perkins. And {if it's to be landed, I'm the boy to do it," he boasted. Janet frowned. But she turned a smiling face to her husband as he looked up from his salad. She had wanted to bathe and take a little nap late this afternoon so that she would be refreshed for the eve ning's theatre party, But she at tempted no alteration of her hus- band's plan--nothing that might cause a wider break in their al ready toppling happiness. It was after three when Janet, dressed in her blue serge and small K vusines did not go down to t flowered turban, picked up her white gloves from the dresser, ready to accompany Ken on his im- portant mission. The bell rang. She ticked the button impatiently. But her husband went to the apart- ment door to open it. From her bedroom she heard him greeting effusively some boisterous guests. And instantly she knew that Valerie was among them. Her high pitched voice, with her musi- cal laugh, had wrung in Janet's heart for days after Ken's accident. Her mind searching for an explana- tion, she walked into the living room and tried to smile at the "un- welcome group. "Come on' boys and girls," Ken welcomed, in his boyish manner, "get your things off and stay a while, There's nothing like the old crowd for brightening up a dull day. Here," as he stepped for ward to Valerie's side, "let me do that." He helped her off with her fur coat and carried almost caress- ingly her scarlet turban to the foyer clothes tree. Janet flashed him a warning look. which seemed to have no effect whatever. It was Doug Warren who noticed Janet's impatience. "Oh, I say," he warned, as Mrs, Fifi Sanderson tried her best to make an impression on the sensi- ble looking middieaged fellow, "I think we're imposing. We only stopped to say hello. How about my blowing the crowd to tea at the Blue Paradise?" "Nix," Ken exclaimed instantly, "nothing doing. That'd be a fine way to treat my crowd. Have 'em ome see me, then rush them off omewhere else for tea. We'll have tea right in my own little adobe. And friend wife will get some eats ready in a jiffy." Janet was amazed. She tried to catch her husband's eye to wara him of their important engagement, Janet silently removed her hat and gloves. Smiling, to keep up the suggestion of good will to the people she loathed, she went into the kitchen and searched the ice chest for some remnants with which she might prepare the prom- ised repast. Inside, she could hear the noisy chatter of voices. With a pounding heart, Janet searched her closet for some can ned fish with which she might con- Earning Money at Home T some time or other every ! A woman experiences the long. ing to make money of her own. In the larger cities women find many occupations that they would care to enter. But the task of trying to maintain the home and give one's bést.to an exacting posi tion in office or shop is not often successful, There are, however, a number of ways in which clever women have surmounted the difficulty of making both jobs dovetail And their experiences may well be duplicated by others. A woman in the south found it necessary to add to her husband's cut wage in order to maintain her small family. They were living in a rambling old house on a suburban road. But that, instead of becom- ing a disadvantage, was turned into an asset by the clever little housewife. She remembered that her part of the country had become famous . for its chicken dinners, Many autos passed her place on Sunday. And she had plenty of ground in which she might raise her own fowls. A signpost painted a brilliant yellow with a green rooster added a festive note to her front yard, proclaiming to pass- {ng motorists what they might get for a nominal sum. Within a short time this southern woman had de- veloped a nice trade and she found {it necessary to engage a helper af- ter serving chicken dinners for six months, Many women, however, dislike , And many others there are who are not located where this method of making money would be possible. Yet there arp hundreds of city women, engaged in shop and office, who spend much of their salaries for the fine, hand- the famous Sunday ' made lingerie that women of leisure are able to produce. Why not then try the get-together plan and play the game-of exchange? Small cards sent out to many busi- ness houses in the city will very likely touch a responsive desire in some woman who has not the time to do this fancy work. And be- cause she is able to pay for her finery herself, she hesitates only to the extent of her desire. The Woman's Exchange that is main. tained in almost every city will sell your dainties for a small com- mission. And they have for thelr patrons some of the wealthy women of every community. There is & New England woman who is making a specialty of em- broidering initials or monograms for undergarments. She has pre pared a sample card in print that is submitted to those interested. She finds her patrons through small advertisements in the papers and divides this initial expense by adding a little to the profit of each order received. A clever girl who realized the need of well made broth in time of iliness has taken that as her spe- cialty. She mekes this broth in quantity and brings it to the list of sick patients by order. The rural physicians have given her broth their test and keep her sup- plied with orders. Stencil work is an art that may be acquired with practice. Women, in some parts of the country, and some right within a stone's throw of the great stores of the city, are making money at this branch of art. Stencilled shades, curtains, bedspreads in homespun or plain unbleached muslin are in- expensive. But the touch of sten- cilling that is applied makes them artistic and salable.

But there were but a few packages of cereal, a pack- age of raisins and one small can of soup staring down into her be- wildered eyes. Somehow, she fig- ured, she must tell them. Perhaps Ken would run up to the store at the corner. But she knew he would be furious if she asked him. Unable to find words with which to explain her embarrassing pre- dicament, she walked to the llving room again in the hopes of gaining courage. But words failed her. She felt sick and weary with the strain of it all as she came upon her hus band seated on the couch with Valerie, lighting the cigarette the woman held in her rouged lips. (To be continued.)

HE bride of Spring who will T want to economize on her trousseau and the business girl who finds the Winter evenings dull, may well begin now to make some of those dainty lingerie bits the first warm days will bring to mind. . The new lingerie accessories are go simple /in cut and design that even the most inexperienced sewer need not hesitate to try making them. The saving will more than repay you for the few evenings you will give to their construction. Take for example the new petti coat-pants that are beginning to make their evidence in the advance Spring showing. They are fash- foned mostly of soft silk or batiste, >F3Es fl H sEiE EE it household laundry, do not attempt to trim your underthings with fine lace or ribbon. Special care must be taken of this sort of lingerie to keep its coloring and daintiness. The tallored undergarments are even more simple to make. Instead of the lace finished chemiise top, simply fold your material back into a hem and have it hemstitched. The bottom may be hemstitched through 4 narrow hem. Hemstitching stands more wear than picot and is in keeping with the simple lines of this sort of garment.

Cook Camisoles have come to be a necessary part of every well groomed girl's wardrobe. They are expensive 4f purchased at the shops, but with the remnant coun ters offering such choice bits of silks and satins there is little rea- son why every girl cannot afford to have several. Measure your bust line. To it add about four inches. Measure the length of your chest from beneath the armpit to the waistline. Add an inch and a half for finish. With this measurement in mind, select your material with care. Washable satin is excellent for the camisole that needs frequent tubbing.

But only within the last century has its power to control looks coma within the knowledge of beauty specialists. Knowing how and when to sleep Is as valuable to every woman as knowing when not to sleep. And I believe that American women re- qpire more sleep because of their strenuous activity than do the women of the Continent. That is why beauty specialists in France are not so apt to prescribe sleep for their patients. The women of Europe know how to relax so com- pletely during their waking hours that less tonic asleep is necessary to keep them in poise. For the beauty effects of sleep there are a few definite rules which every woman may apply. They have been found almost miraculous in restoring the bloom of youth and erasing tired lines of strain and worry. Lie down on your couch every afternoon for at least ome hour. The woman whose business or professional life will not permit of this may take the same treatment when she returns home after her day, and she will be marvelously refreshed by dinner time. Draw the shade so as to darken the room as much as possible. Have a damp towel at hand; moisten it slightly with a little witch- hasel. Place this towel over the eyes. Let your arms fall to your sides and relax gradually, Even it you cannot sleep, lying in this position for an hour, or even a half hour, will do wonders for your eyes and the contour of your face. Most women begin to show signs of age more through lack of sleep than from any other cause. If women could but learn to take life less seriously there would be much less need for the beauty parlors. And unless this idea becomes fixed in the mind, unless you can rid your mind of all unnecessary thoughts before relaxing, the results will be unsatisfactory. Eight hours' sleep every night is the average rule for everyone. But hours' slesp. They have a much higher keyed nervous system and therefore require more relaxation. : Oversleeping and irregular sleep: ing are two enemies to beauty. It! is an easy habit to fall into either) of these two errors where time in) not valuable. And the woman who becomes a prey to the impulse finds within a short while that her beau ty has faded like that of her sister who does not know how to relax or sleep soundly. The difference is that the woman who oversleeps finds herself unshapely. The jaws will begin to droop and. the eyes lose their sparkle or ani mation if one over-sleeps. Make certain your covers are not' too heavy and depressing. One or two bed covers of wool will offer more protection to the body during the Winter months than a number of those heavier quilts that are fashioned entirely of cotton. Raise your window top and bot. tom, so that the air may freely cin culate In your bedroom. Even i your room is cold in the morning, do not deprive yourself of fresh air through the night. Rather dress in another room than cheat the system of its choice method of re plenishing its oxygen needs. BEAUTY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Fl UBSTION--W!1ll you please pubs lish a method to make my eye- lashes grow ™~Reader. Answer---Bathe the eyes every night with warm water. Dry well and massage gently with a small portion of white vaseline. To do this, moisten the forefinger with the vaseline and run it back and forth on the lashes. The friction stimulates the circulation and the oil nourishes the tissues from which the hair grows. Question--Can you tell me how to reduce a double chin? I have tried astringents and find they do not help.--Anxious. Fitting Daughter for Marriage HE standards of soclety are swiftly changing. And the changes seem to be beyond the control of the individual, There is a new standard of home life brought about by economic condi tions of the day. Instead of railing at fate, would it not seem the logical plan to adapt oneself to the situation, since it 1s really be- yond our control? The idea of convention permit. ting a wife to continue working outside the home after marriage is one of the subjects up for discus- sion just now at every 'woman's club in the country. The idea is old, yet it has taken a new angle because of the extreme unemploy- ment situation among men.
