One morning, at the end of the sec- ond week, her mother brought her mail to her as she Jay in bed. "Here's one that 'looks like an in- vitation," said Mrs, Needham, jay opened it without interest. "A ball to be given by Mrs. Whiteley." «Mrs. Whiteley! Gay, that's grand! "You are making headway when you get-an-invitation from Mrs." Whiteley. Who cares about a few snubs from people who don't count . .."" The telephone tinkled. swered listlessly. "Hello, Gay," sald a man's voice, "1 phone 'd to ask if you are going to the Whiteley ball. May 1 have the honor of taking you?" Gay was puzzled. "Who ig this?" "I'm sure you've forgiven me, dear --it's Marvin . . ." Gay hung up with a bang, gritting her teeth. Gay an- "He dares!" she raged. "Dares to call me! That beastly Marvin Ploame! Wanting to-take me to the ball!" Mrs. Needham sighed, "Oh, dear, things ccem go jumbled up. . . Who will you go with, now that you've broken your enzagement to Rodney?" "Jock will take me." Jock had quarreled again with Irene as a resulf of the "house party" inci: dent. lie hadn't quite known why Irene should have played such a trick on Cay, but he had been furious with her and hadn't seen her since. Lying Lips Gay and Jock had been at the Whiteley's about an hour, the night of the ball, when Irene arrived, cling- ing to Rodney's arm. Gay somehow managed to hide her feelings as she danced away with Conley Milbraum, Jock was not so successful.

How could he hate that girl so much and love her too? Jock had been drinking even before he arrived at the ball, and had been hard at fit ever since, and now everything was going round and round--a mad, bitter whirl, with I.cne as the mocking cen- tre. Irene--playing with his love, lead: ing him on for her own motives! He watched her sullenly as she danced with Rodney--nestling in his arms, looking up into his eyes, her lips held up invitingly. Lips that he, Jock, had kissed--Ilying lips! Blast her, any- way! He had to get away--alone some place, He didn't want to be where he could sce her. She tortured him. He staggered into the palm room.

That was that guy Van Gordon. "She'll be glad to marry you before we're through with her, 'It was really clever the way Irene carried out that. lodge stunt. And what a swell break that Sinclair picked that particular 'evening to turn up looking for little Gay? So much more convincing for him to see her there at the lodge with you with his own eyes, than merely to hear about it later. And, of course, Irene is tak- ing care that he belleves the worst, and the incident has reached the ears of the Dowager Sinclair with varia- tions. She . .."" The whirl in Jock's head changed to a roar. In a blinding flash, he saw everything. He had only half under- stood before. He leaped up. Irene! He'd fix her! = Knockout Blow Irene was still dancing with Rod ney when Jock came charging into the ballroom. He tore the wrist watch she had given him from his wrist as he plunged toward her, "You . .. you!" he shouted. He lashed at her cheek -with the watch, cutting her face cruelly as he struck, blow upon blow. "You liar--you cheat!" He dodged as Rodney tried to grap- ple with him, and struck blindly at both of them. Then Gay was beside him. Stop! What are you doing!" "Jock! "Now for Van Gordon and Ploame!" he yelled, and darted back toward the palm room, slipping like an eel from the grasp of those who tried to stop him, Gay raced after him, She reached the door of the palm room just in time to see Jock give Ploame a punch fn the eye; to see Ploame strike back: Jock staggered drunkenly un. er the force of Ploame's blow, then ell, striking his temple on a sharp ¢orner of a marble table . .. and lay perfectly still, ,. , And then, the rush of many feet. Screams, Faces, Voices, Gay had reached Jock and, down on her knees beside him, was cradling his head in her arms. Out of the sea, of faces surrounding her, she saw only one. Rodney's, He bent over her, dear . , ." But Gay still clung to Jock. Then, a doctor was kneeling beside him, feeling for his heart. "He's dead." "Dead!" Gay moaned, And he had been. fighting for her! Oh, if they had -never_eome to New York! "Oh, Jock, Jock! It's my fault! I--I-- dia it!" : She lifted her eyes to Rodney star- ing at her, a strange, shocked expres- sion on his face. Then he turned away. Later, there were police, detectives, the coroner. Gay answered their ques- tions in a daze--told all that she had geen. When a preliminary reportswas made out, it read: "Jock Needham, while intoxicated, fell and struck head on marble table, which, with other factors, caused death." Con and Mary Milbraum took Gay home. "Mother , asked at once. A maid handed her a yellow paper. A telegram, "Your mother collapsed, Miss Gay. A doctor is with her. After they tele- phoned about Mr. Jock, she got this." The maid-dabbed at her eyes. (Gay stared at the wire: "Celia con- tracted typhoid. Very ill. Come at once, Pa." Then, a merciful oblivion env eloped her.

Not all of the children believed in a Little Lord Fauntleroy code of be- havior, however, A large number of boys voted that the tipping of hats was unnoticeable and unnecessary in a crowded city. In answer to the question, "Do you interrupt when your teacher, your parents or other older pe.sons are talking?" five girls defended their in- alicnable right to talk whenever they pleased, no matter who else happened to be speaking. One of the girls re- marked that she had heard that in progressive schools children were al- lowed "to do as they pleased"." Fifty boys and six girls ruled sub- way pushing out of the question of courtesy, remarking that it was neces- sary to get anywhere in the city. - The questionnaire was conducted among children ranging in age from 6 to 18, of every race, color and of every economic class, wa {3 wv!

It is by an author named Ernest Vincent Wright. In this masterpiece, a novel of fifty thousand words, the letter '"'e" does not once appear, This original young man made sure that this letter would not be present by the simple, yet effective, device of tying the "e" bar of his typewriter down with a piece of string. Here is a hint for the spare bed- room where -there--is no wardrobe. Screw six small hooks into the under- part of a coat hanger. This can be hung behind the bedroom door amd will hold six coat hangers quite easily. The frocks on the hangers will over- lap and not crease. and a chintz cur- tain hung from the top of the door will keep away the dust.

Tartars Originated Sauerkraut Eating -- This World-Wide Dish Is Eaten In China, Too--How to Make It The home economics bureau of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, after months of research, has solved the problem of what to serve at a dinner attended by guests from Germany, " France, Austria and China. It is really quite simple: kraut! Every member of the International party woul recognize it and probably like it, the bureau said. The French- man would call it choucroute. . You wouldn't understand what the Chinese called it, but the others wquid call it sauerkraut. : Name Is Given The name for the dish originated in Germany, but the bureau learned that sauerkraut originated in Asia and was introduced into Eastern [ur ope by the Tatlais nearly 800 ycars ago. The bureau nis developed its own recipe for sauerkraut and a similar product, sauer ruben, made from shredded turnips fermented in their own brine, Both are prepared in about the same way and taste somewhat alike. The best way to keep either one, he said, is to pack in two-quart glass jars. It is much more convenient than the old-fashioned big stone crock and the product keeps better. Ferment Fer Ten Days For sauerkraut use 3% pounds of cabbages to a two-quart jar. Shred and add four ounces of salt for each 10 pounds of cabbage. -Allow to fer- ment for 10 days at a temperature of 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Store in a cool place.
