SYNOPSIS A luxurious five-month cruise all around the world aboard the "Maren: la" brings together a group of passen- gers for adventures, rcmantic, enter- taining and tragic -- Like in "Grand Hotel" these passengers offer a study In human actions and reactions that unconsciously bare their souls -- These characters are aboard the ship; Macduff, dour Scotchman, single, of middle age; Miss Mudge, school teach- er, spending the savings of 20 years; Angela, faithful wife of Lovat, gigolo; Dick Charlton, first officer; Clare, a person of experience; Joan, a dissipat- ed flapper; Jenny, run-away wife, and Peter; Captain Baring, master of the ship -- and his soul -- NOW, GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAP FER 111. A slight girl tr past with a youth at her heels. She was all in yel- Jow, and her pale gold hair burned in the day's afterglow. Dick's glance then swung from Clare's opulence to the flgure in primrose, moving with the careless grace of inexperience, "Ingenue!" commented the chief of- ficer, his gaze settling again on the figure beside him. "Yes" -- she darted a fast look at him--" and how one has to protect oneself from the young!" He looked at I'is watch. It was half- past five. "Sorry. Seamen must work. No time for dalliance now." "But now is always a lovely time." Clare stretched languorously in the depths of her deck chair. Dick swung along the deck, a tall, blue figure tacking against the. wind. Clare watched day melt into night. She could see Macduff roaming up and down, puffing at his pipe. "I wonder if 1 could make him talk," she specu- lated idly. But he looked so forbidding that she decided to leave him alone and go down to dress. Their Histories In three days Clare had begun to hear the historfes of so.ae of her fel- low passengers. She knew that the woman with silver hair, sitting to her right, was taking her hasband around the world for his health Clare decided that her face suggested an interesting past, although gloom was blotting her out for the 'ime being. At the next table, like a modernist doll propped beside a dowager, sat Patty Arundel. * tty had summed up her fellow passengers with the hard disfavour of twenty. She thought them old and stuffy. Clare she regarded as a Victorian siren, a silly woman who gid not know that love was never men- tioned by name between two modern oung people. "Sticky," thought Pat- Y to herself. t "Johnny" -- Patt raised her voice -- "there goes Mrs. Langford." She found that she was not drawing Johnny's attention to Clare -- it was already there. He blushed slightly, gurprised in his own thoughts. He had fust arrived at the conclusion that he had never seen such lovely curves, and what was it that .urked in those yellowish eyes? Johnny was fresh from college, his father was sending him around the world before he -ot- tled down to being a broker. Patty was fresh from Vassar, and she did not fall in love with every youth who anced well or beat her at tennis. But dhuny was on probation, but, failing B greater excitement, he scemed to be a godsend on the Marenia, "Johnny!" This time her voice was imperative. "You're, mooning. Give Jue your attention, all of it, and an- other dry Maytini.," Rk ' Forgive ine, Batty. My wits are andering. Here, steward, two dry artinis." "I was wondering what you thought bout Mrs. Langford, but now I shall ot ask you."

What a lovely gown it was! She wished that she knew what men could see in women who were as transparent as glass to their own sex, His Good Luck Patty's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden appearance of her aunt, who had walked over to their table to pick her up. She was small and very slight, faintly bored, carefully groom- ed, a woman who knew the worst and the best that were to be had from life. "1 shall want one, two, three, four, possibly even five dances tonight," said Johnny" jumping smartly to at- tention in deference to Patty's aunt. "Try to get them," retorted Patty, as she slipped through the door. Johnny lingered over his cocktail, reflecting that it was luck to have found a girl like Patty on a trip like this. Clare walked past his table on] her way to the dining-room, leaving a trail of peérfume that made Johnny's nostrils contract with excitement, Wonder what she was doing on this trip, and who her husband was. Pro- bably a divorcee. le would soon know for it seemed that everything was get- ting about -- too much for his taste It rather sickened Johnny, the way 1 -ople talked, the men n the smoking room, the women on deck. No one would have a sci. of privacy left by the time they had reached India. Macduff was walking out and the bar was clearing. Johnny decided that it was time to go down to dinner. The orchestra. was playing as he entered. and the boat was rolling so much that he staggered on the way to his table. He had drawn a;-:c ble dining com- panions -- a loose-boned Westerner, Bill Laird, with a'charming wife whom he t:ased unmercifully. Bill was get- ting a reputation already for 1 ~ing the practical joker of the boat. Patsy wav- ed blithely across the room. "Not feeling well?" enquired solicitously. Man of The World "Never felt better," said Johnny. If you want to {ry a remedy on some one, you'd better watch out for Patty Arundel. She (threatens to be sick whenever the hoat rolls." "Oh, Mrs. "angford!" Bill 'shouted, half an hour later seeing that Clare had finished dinner and was passing out at a leisurely gait. "Join us for coffee and liqueurs." She had already Iv some deck- chair conversation with the Lairds and liked them both. Drawling in his lazy way Bill introduced Johnny, who had jumped to his feet and stood staring down {t her in a tongue-tied manner. They all went upctairs to the salon and settled down to fines and cigar- ettes, Clare chatted idly and Bill bait- ed her, but grew bored when he failed to find resistanc i. her shallow re- torts. She had no . partee, but her voice had a husky note that Johnny fou.1 alluring. He tal'ed to Mrs. Laird, but kept his eyes glied on Clare. She ignored him most of the time, but when the d..ncing began she slid into his arr=, and he suddenly knew that she had been thinking of him all the time. She danced divinely. Her hand felt alive in his clasp. "I think I. sing to enjoy this trip," murmured Clare. I've heen see- ing you abo t the boat, Yoy're very strenuous aren't you? Tennis, swim- mine, games," r Clare smiled and her hai. brushed his ¢"n. He had never held a woman in his arms w"o magnetized him like ti 's. It was not like dancing with the girls he knew at ! me. Johnny began to feel like a man of the world, At last he gave her up reluctantly, for the music.had come to an end. It was hard to wait for his next dance with her to begin, Patty Lad cone ine to the room with h'r aunt, but he had forgatten that she existed.

Hired Girl Drops Out Of Existence At Least the Old-Fashioned Kind Is Disappearing From The Land Another institution has joined the ranks of memories. The hired girl is found no more in the homes of today, says Anne Rutherford, writing id the Stratford Beacon-Herald, Her place has been taken in prosperous homes by "the maid," while the middle class folk who once enjoyed her ministra- tions get along as best they can under their own power, In most small towns and villages, the money paid out for household help is meagre. It permits at most the hir ing of assistance at such times as housecleaning, or when there is sick ness in the family, The hired girl is gone, In an endeavor to find out if there was a reason for her disappearance the Bureau of Home Economics of the United States did a bit of research work. It discovered that "The import ance of 'our hired girl' in the living patterns of village families has de- cased as services of commercial bak eries and laundries have increased, as canneries and garment factories have grown, and as labor-saving devices have come into the home. ~ "Then too, many a homemake! would rather spend for a car and wid: en her social contacts than to spend money for a maid if it only means leasure to sit on the front porch and watch the neighbors ride by." The next +ooneration, then, will gcarcely know anything about the "family factotum who lived in the lrousehold, cooked such good things to eat that the children hung about her kitchen table until she chased them away with some such refrain as: 'Clear out of my way. There's time for work and time for play! So take your dough and run, child, run, or 1 can't get no cooking done'!" When that time comes, even James Whit comb Riley and his homely verses of childhood will Le forgotten, and the term "hired girl" will be something to be looked up in dictionaries. It seems a pity! Beautiful Spy ~ Queen Arrested In Paris -- Suspected of Passing Vital Information Out of The Country Paris was excited by rews of the arrest of the beautiful young "queen" of an alleged spy ring which has jeo- pardized the safety of the Southern. frontier. Idol of the dance halls and bars of the Riviera, "La Belle Tatiana," as she was known, is said to have or- ganized a chain of spies whose activ- ities may have the gravest repercus- sions, Her real name is Tataina Vassilew. She is the wife of a soldier in the French army, but she is said to be friendly with a young Persian. Suspecting- leakage of vital infor- mation, French Secret Service agents, after weeks of intensive inquiry, ar- rested a young soldier who had just completed his military service in the little town of Graulmet. Documents Found They had learned that a foreign agent had made him an offer for a document concerning the defence of the south-eastern region and a plan of mobilization. The accused man declared that a former secretary of :the War Minis- try, Marcel Oustric, had the decu- ments. . - Search of Oustric's home reveal- ed 143 documents, including fortifi- cation plans and charts, says B.U.P. Then the police turned their at- tention to Toulouse, where the beau- tiful 23-year-old brunette was re- ported to be staying with Amumirian, the Persian, but the "birds" had flown. They were later arrested in the Latin quarter of Paris, and it is re- ported' that more vital docdments were found in their possession.' Duck Eggs Must Be Boiled Well Don't fry duck eggs. Boil them -- and be them ell. That is the warning given to pur chasers of duck eggs in France and Germany, In Germany shopkeepers are compel'ed by law to tell every custom: er to give duck cggs a long boiling, to stamp on each shell the instruction "To be boiled," and to display a pos- ons Lag sublect for the information of customers. ; Reason is that French and German medical men take a more serious view of the dangers of ducl ~ugs than do our own, bececause of a dangerous bacillus which they cay lurks in even the cleanest ooking eng. Periodically one reads of inquests on people who have fallen victims tb the bacillus. Boston Disowns Its Cream Pies In the cookery department of Thé- New York Herald-Tribune the "Boston Cream Pie," has been causing heart: burn -- mental, not stomachic -- ac- cording to the editor. "Cross my heart and hope to die if I ever heard of Bos- ton cream pie -- before I came to New York," Miss Hurd, born in the shadow of Bunker Hill (Boston) and living 'there 25 years, never heard of "B. C. P." until she saw it on a menu, Nor did she ever hear of creaming the poor defenseless spinach. "The idea! Or putting tomatoes and carrots into clam chowder. The very idea! Why, that is vegetable soup. And what New Yorkers called baked beans, Ye gods! Pale, white-livered things that were swimming in grease, ugh! For years I have let -all this pass, but to have my favorite food column talking about Boston cream pie, I could not resist the impulse to write."

Most women find break- fast a problem. It comes at a time when appetities are temperamental and digestion sluggish. Breakfast can start the day right or wrong, it all depends on the plan- ning. It should be a fairly light meal --one that is easy and quick to eat, vet tasty, and contains plenty of healthful nourishment, It should not require any elaborate preparation, A sense of being at peace with the world when everything runs smoothly and easily should be inspired and this can- not be if there is a clatter of pots and pans, Packaged cereals are a big help.

Bran muffins are a delightful addition to the breakfast table, They can be made days ahead of time and heated in a double boiler over hot water or toasted just before serving.

"We carelessly assumed that all this went ou with bustles in 1900, so we set out to as- certain the facts of the case," the writer explains. She interviewed prominent Winnipég women about it. Dates Back to Victorian Era Dr. E. Cora hind, for years the . West's grain prophet, scoffed the idea, but she recalled seeing a vet. eran of the Umited States civil war- climb up on a chair 'and how! when a little grey animal walked across the toe of his boot,. "Perhaps we should have asked the men, too," the writer interjec's Dr. Emma Adamson said the whole thing dated back to Victorian times and Jane Austen novels, when it was the mark of a laay to leap onto a sofa and let the edge of one's lace panties peep out just ever so little.

No Longer Seck Rafters pH 'We queried -our friends .shame-. lessly and filed the answers in the best scientific, statistical the writer sums up. "The find ngs of our research, ir cold figures, prove that women no !'snger seek the raft- ers or the chandeliers when the wee ccwering critters 'appear; that is, five women don't where four women do. 14 "One of the timid souls 'told us that a mouse had once taken refuge in her clothes cupboard when her family were out of the city. [or- tunately she had two such cupboards so she closed the little fellow up and wore clothes from the other sup- board for a month until her family returned, : "One told us she was not a bit afraid of a mouse and she'd love to meet a ghost if we could arrange it. Another expressed -the opinion that Mickey. Mouse had a good dezl between mice and women."
