CHAPTER VII The Red Sea stretched like a velvet carpet under a sky studded with stars. "Venus!" said Jenny, looking upwards. "I always know it because of its translucence, and it seems so much closer to the earth than the others, 1 used to watch it over the river at Little Oaks, and now I'm seeing it near Aden with you!" "She clung toe rail; her figure en- veloped in a dim llue haze. She lis: tened to the s ish of the boat through the water, and watched its trail of foam. The funnels r:3e like black towers, pouring a stream of smc' » into the night. It was hr' in a smooth ¢ ! milky way. She threw off. her wrap and clutched at her throat. Doter slid his hand along the rail a-1 caught her fingers. "Strange, isn't it?" Jenny whisper- eld. "Why strange?" "Il feel as if we're all alone in the .night and very far from eveiyone. I'm rather afraid." i a "Afraid of what?" She shuddered and pressed close to his side. There were moments when one was alone in all the universe, when there was no aid, no commun- jon, anywhere, but how could one con- vey this sense of isolation, even to the man one loved? She sank to a deck chair and lay looking up at the stars. For an hour they seemed to be racing through foam under a canopy that reached to infinity. "What a fine sense of exhilaration one gets on the top deck!" said Peter turning from the rail to look at the silent Jenny. "But 1 wish we were having a roaring storm; this is so tame. 1 ilke the fury of the sea. 'You've never been in a real storm, "No, mind." "I think you wouldn't like it, for you're not attuned to wildness. Your mind and your body are passive." He bent over her till her hair drift- d across his mouth with a sharp ragrance. Her face was part of the night. For a moment he thought her a perfect stranger--so shadowy and remote! What did she dream of all he time? Why could he never reach he core of Jenny's thoughts? Why did she shut him out? He looked down the dim corridors of the future never.

Half of the time he was forced to comfort and reassure her, and she paid for a moment of rapture with hours of futile regret. She turned to him suddenly, her voice edged with pain, "You're think. ing of the future, aren't you, Peter?" '1 was thinking of you." "] know--the two of us together. How do you thjnk it will be--after- wards, when all this is over?" "This won't come to a sudden stop, Jenny. Our happiness will continue." "It's peaceful here tonight, but I'm afraid of what time will do to us, Pe- ter." - Hypnotized By The Sea "Rubbish! _ You're carrying -- your troubled self too far from home." Clare and Johnny went pacing by. Peter turned his head to watch the sweep of the figure in violet chiffon. Her shoulders swayed as she moved; she held her chin like a bird in flight. He was now abstracted, pufling at his cigarette. Jenny's volce was crossing his thoughts. "I'm hypnotized by the sea, Peter. It's like a song in my heart, rhythmic and never-ending. Look at the queer glow on the horizon!" 'You never know what you are go- ing to encounter in this region. I've seen the Red Sea churned like a mass of foaming devils, and again as calm as a pane of glass. But it's not a patch on the China Sea, which is al ways an ugly sight." They went down to their stateroom, and Jenny emerged slowly from her taffeta, t : "You make me think of a white pe- ony," said Peter, as her ruffled frock fell to her feet, 'so pale, so dreamy, so fragile, as if each petal would drop off with a breath." He kissed her neck and behind her ears; he ran his fin- gers down.to her slender wrists, "And your skin is as soft as a peony petal, and your eyes are as blue as the sea at noonday. and I love you very much!" Off On A Mountain-top He caught her in his arms and Jen- ny 3 head dropped against his chest with fluttering eagerness. He kissed her throat and the blue lids of her eyes and then her mouth. The colour stirred slowly in her_crecamy cheeks and her lips grew scarlet and full, "Peter, I adore you," she whispered, dragging herself from a deep abyss to meet his love with her own pale ar- dour. Peter's lips were against her mouth. "It's like calling a ghost back to my embrace. I feel, when I possess you, that you're perched on a distant moun- tain, looking on. Darling, wake up! Love me as I love you." ? Jenny heard his words in a dream. Why did he bother to talk? It was true what he was saying--she was re- mote, alone on a mountain-top. She could see the bluish line of his half- closed eyes, and his hair damp on his brow. Why did she feel so soothed instead of the stinging pain of love? She wag drifting now on calm waters. It seemed as if she were back in the dhoby on the Nile, and she felt that she must be swooning. "Jenny! Jenny darling! Where are you? Oh, my love!" Peter was calling to her from a long distance, pain in his voice. She could hear the swish of the water out- side the porthole. The light of the moon lay wan on the floor of their stateroom. Jenny's eyelids lifted. She was back from the distant places and was holding Peter in her arms, How she adored him! He was breathing gently and dropping off to sleep. She stroked his face like a mother with a child, 'Jenny darling!" he murmured through sleepy lips. She lay in a trance, hour after :@ our, her eyes fixed on the pencil of moonlight that pierced the porthole. (To Be Continued) The Dont, Whar sronte, Ot.

In the average Italian mind is the fdea that Italy really is much more powerful than she really is.

And early summer eggs are the best, from the standpoint of flavor, of the year, A few eggs can add more assort- ed calories, vitamins, to say nothing of calcium and phosphorus to a meal with less appearance of extra bulk than almost any other food found on the pantry shelf, That is where the cook will find them invaluable, es- pecially when preparing meals for children with fussy appetities, under- weight youngsters or invalids of any age, Eggs go into custards, puddings, sauces and salad dressings and a dozen other items where they will never be suspected, as well as served proudly by. themselves or in some novel combination with other foods. Two weeks ago we gave you some egg recipes which were suitable for the general family diet. Here are some that are adapted especially for use in feeding finickey children, adults or convalescents.

Open-Toe Shoe Here to Stay Feet Get Better Care as They Come More Into View NEW YORK -- The advice fs to put your best foot forward means some: thing these days. Time was when feet were scarcely mentioned in polite society, and they never appeared unclothed, even on the bathing beach. Ladies wore stockings even when. they went swimming. High shoes were the vogue, too, the shoes that laced or buttoned well up the leg, and slippers were worn only for evening wear or in the boudoir. Conservative Women Adopt It Feet have come a long way. since then. Dancers dance in bare feet, and bathing beauties parade around in bare tootsies in the soft sand; and even the best dressed feet poke out at toes and heels and are well aired at the sides. For times have changed. Bedroom windows have -been thrown open so that we may breathe fresh air while we sleep. And sun and air have been found to be beneficial for every part of the human body -- and that includes the feet, - Open toed shoes were just a "crazy fad" of those people who go in for ex: tremes in every kind of wear. But now the most conservative women are ad- opting the style, and toes are out in the world for certain, This fad has called attention to the feet, so that our pedal extremities are given much better care than they ever before received, and they have bene: fited by it. Feet, after all, are import: ant parts of our anatomies. Fashions That Flatter Mother More Attention In the Style World Is Being Paid to Costumes Suit- able for the Older Woman.

There was no imitation- Venus de Milo with a clock in her diaphragm as there was in 1918, when Frank Ward O'Malley came to the gallery every day for weeks--there were no pillow shams embroidered in turkey red cotton, "Mr." and "Mrs.", But there were, to regale New Yorkers: > Bulldog In A Nightgown A porcelain bulldog clad in a rose- covered nightgown, A straw desk.
