Deck . by [shbel Ross Synopsis A luxurious five-month cruise around the world aboard the "Marenia" brings together a group of passengers for adven- tures, romantic, entertaining . . . and tragic . . . Like in "Grand Ho- tel" these passengers offer a study in human actions and reactions which unconsciously bare their souls. . . . These characters are aboard the ship: Macduff, dour Scotchman, single, of middle age; Miss Mudge, school teacher, spend- ing the savings of 20 years; An- gela, faithful wife of Lovat, gig- olo; Dick Charlton, first officer; Clare, a person of experience; Joan, a dissipated flapper; Jen- ny, run-away wife, and Peler; Captain Baring, master of the ship . .. and his soul. No, go on with the story. o Jenny's face grew smooth gain and her spirits rose. Of course, Peter was sure to be somewhere about. } The hotel was really an o!d pal ace, with spacious salons like ball rooms, and bedrooms the size of halls. There was no sign of Peter in the lounge. He had not been heard of at the desk, nor was he in the bar, where Macduff was busy with the Puya Thai cocktail. Her dismay cme back, swooping down on her *.ith fresh certainty. Ange- la ms ae some discreet enquiries, but sone of the cruise men had ca ght a glimpse of Peter. Perhaps } .s launch was still on the river, or ne had wandered off to explore an- other part of the town. The afternoon wore on in a blaze of overpowering heat. Angela stayed with Jenny, who sat like a shadow in the great hall of the ho- tel. Nothing seemed to rouse her. At tea-time one of the crulse men came bustling up to tell her that Peter had taken a train back to the boat shortly after noon. "I came up on a later train and harpened to run into him at the station," he said. "When I got here 'ney told me you were looking for him." "Oh yes. Thanks so much." Jenny's voice was automatic. "Clare, of course!" she thought, . and saw the same idea reflected on Angela's face. The older woman put out an arm and steadied her for a minute. 'Let's have our tea," she said. "What a relief to know that nath- ing has happened to him!'"" "Yes, a relief," Jenny responded in the tones of a parrot, _ © "I wonder when the next train goes down," Jenny speculated, sip- ping her tea.. "There isn't another till we all leave at half-past ten tonight. I've enquired." Marodned in Bangkok "Heavens!" said Jenny. gay I shall feel until then. ed in Bangkok. Deter on the Mare- nia. What does it all mean?" "My dear, you're building a mountain out of a molehill." Ange- la's voice was soothing. "Angela, you know better." Of course she did. Angela thought with a sudden rush of pain of Lovat stealing out of their state- room after he had danced with Clare, Lovat kissing his hand and waving to Clare at Cairo. She knew that Jenny had good grounds for her fears. ' "Let's walk about," Jenny sug- gested, restless and brooding. "We'll walk in the gardens." Round and round they went, past green statues, terraces and hedges, their feet crunching on the gravel paths. The* Marenia passengers were dozing on the veranda or be- hind the cool shutters of the hotel. "How Maroon- YOUR BABY i oteing 1 Time?

"What time is it now, Angela?" "Five o'clock." "Let's go back to the hotel," she cried. Angela followed her patient- ly, ready to humor her whims. Jen- ny wanted to rest for a while. They took a room, and each in turn had a cooling bath. It was refreshing, and Jenny felt her courage rise. Angela took a nap, but Jenny could not close her eyes. It seemed as if Jenny had aged five years when Angela wakened. "Forgive me for dropping off when you were so miserable," she plead- ed. - "Nonsense! I'm glad you There's nothing you can do." Angela studied her closely. "Let's have another bath, then we'll go down to dinner. King Prajadhipok's dancers are going to perform for us did. in the garden afterwards. You must come and watch them." CHAPTER XVI. Jenny was listless, "If only we could get to the boat!" she thought, Jenny went round in a trance, fol- lowing her companion from place to place. She went into the dining- room and remembered nothing cf how it had looked or what she had eaten. Night, star-flecked 'and warmly perfumed, came hurrying down as they dined. Afterwards they went out to the garden, which was mazical in the silvery essence of the evening. 'What an idyllic spot!" Angela exclaimed, seating herself on a mar- ble bench and regarding the Greek columns. "[ feel as if the day is everlast- ing." Jenny's voice broke in on An- gela's thoughts. "We'll soon be on our way now." She slipped her arm protectingly through her friend's. In A Dream An hour later Jenny stood at the roadside like one in a dream wait- ing for the train to take them back to Pawnam. It was slow in com- ing, and her pulses raced in her fever to reach the boat. But what should she do when she confronted Peter? At last they were off, and she watched the heads of the tired pas- sengers nodding in the yellow bub- bles of light. When they reached Paknam they still had a long distance to travel by tender. Jenny felt ill with fa- tigue and worry. Her head was throbbing, and her fears were like thorns piercing her flesh. Angela wag a comforting presence, though she did not attempt to talk to her, The tender rode smoothly, the wa- ter slapping her sides. A breeze came whipping in from the gulf. Angela took off her hat and her sil. ver hair flew loosely over her ears. Jenny still clutched Peter's cigar- ette-case in her hand. The boat drew nearer and nearer. They could now detect the outline of her funnels looming above the lifeboats. Jenny picked out a nau- tical cap. It must be Dick Charlton in his white uniform. The chasm of water narrowed till they touch- ed the sides of the Marenia. She did not know if her feet would car- ry her to her stateroom, or sustain her when she came face -to face with Peter, "Buck up, old dear!" said Angela. "We might as well be moving down." Se No Sign Of Him Jenny caught a glimpse of a tall figure looking over the side of the promenade deck. The shoulders suggested Peter; the face she could not see. He might be waiting for her at the gangplank, The tender was bumping her sides against the steamer, scraping and tearing, heaving and barging off; Angela and Jenny were caught in the outgoing rush and were among the last to leave the boat. Angela saw that the girl's face was like skimmed milk, and she caught her round the waist. Jenny drew her hat down over her eyes and stepped up the ladder, her glance darting from side to side. Dick smiled at her in passing, although she scarce- ly saw him. There was no sign of Peter. Of course not, He would wait for her in their stateroom, Angela took her part-way along to her door, for Jenny's legs were wavering, It was open and on the hook. She pulled the curtain aside and gripped it again to steady her- self as she saw that the room was dark. Perhaps he was in bed and asleep. She switched on the lights. The room stared, at her, empty and dead, and at the same moment she felt the éngines throbbing their fa- milfar tune, She got as far as Peter's bed, then fell in a dead = faint on the untouched cover. 3 Matriarchies Seen Arising Absence of Father-Influence In Many Homes Tends Too Much to Rule by Women Ex- clusively. Families in which the father com- mutes to work often develop into matriarchies which threaten the children's "healthy emotional ma- turity," a feminine educationist sald last week at New York. Dr. Caroline B. Zachry, director of research for the Progressive Education Assoclation,-said the ab- sence of the father-influence in many such homes subjected grow- ing children to too much feminine dominance. "Girls frequently find it difficult to adjust to masculine relationships and boys show submissive attitudes due to the dominance of mothers and woman teachers," Dr, Zachry said.

A Brand New Idea In Aprens 5 oi DIA PATTERN 4848 By Anne Adams Anne Adams presents a frock- saver pattern that's entirely new and different! Sece that smart ef- fect with the side closing that un- buttons for flat ironing, and note how the design gives extra pro- tection in the back as well as the front. Without doubt, this clever pattern (No. 4848) is the most efficient of coveralls! In addition, the back is cut to prevent the shoulder straps from slipping down. Make several versions -- in cretonne with ric rac, in beruffled dimity or organdy. And why not do a style with both side seams stitched up? The apron can slip over your head. Pattern 4848 is available in sizes small, medium and large. Small size, apron with ric-rac, takes 2% yards 36 inch fabric, and 3% yards ric-rac. Apron with ruffles, 2% yards, and 7% yard ruffling.

(To Be Continued) ~ LORN SALVE BUNION SALVE FOOT POWDER T Household Hints A warmed-up roast often loses its moisture, If you wrap it in grease-proof paper that has been rreased heavily before you put the roast in the oven, it will re-heat a better flavor and be juicier than if heated in the ordinary way. Milk won't boil over if you smear some butter on the edge of the pot or saucepan in which you are boiling the milk. It will rise only to the rim of butter, and no further. Keep a pieee of sandpaper by you; it is useful for smoothing the _ surface of chipped china or glass ornaments, These can then be handled safely without risk of cut- ting the fingers on rough edges. Sandpaper will also smooth down chipped wood on a shelf or a piece of furniture, and so pre- vent damage from splinters. Sprinkle the damp leaves from your teapot over the bottom of the pan in which fish has been cooked, cover with cold water and stand in a cool place for half an hour. When the saucepan is rinsed out there will be no smell left behind. Cleaning utensils used for mak- ing pastry and cakes is always considerable work, but it won't be if you take this tip: Rinse bowls as-soon--as you're finished with them in cold water to remove flour, dough or batter, then plunge into hot, soapy water and wash in usual way. If you want to make a lightning - job of damping down the clothes before ironing, try this scheme, Light the gas in your oven and place a piedish of warm watér in it. Roughly roll all the garments to be damped and place them on the shelf above the piedish. In a few minutes the gentle steaming heat will have done the job. Mint jelly goes well with lamb, spiced peaches with beef, pickled apples or. apricots with baked ham, apple sauce with pork, pre- served melont rindg-, with chicken and currant or plum jelly with veal. A round whisk broom is a han- dy agent for dampening clothes evenly and quickly. When making ice cream at home, try adding a drop of pepper- mint - flavoring to chocolate or pineapple ice cream. : To utilize small soap scraps, put in a jar of warm water and allow to dissolve into a soft soap or, if dry, grate them into soap gran- ules on a coarse cheese grater, Fasten a piece of felt to the underside of the tray you use for serving on the dining table. This will save those disfiguring scratch- es that will appear from time to time, however careful you are. The idea also makes serving much quicter. The best way to fasten the felt is cither with brass head- ed carpet tacks or brass drawing pins. One of the most annoying acci- dents one can have is to upset scent on the dressing-table. If it does happen rub stains with meth- vlated spirit and then immediately polish with linseed oil, the stains --even those of quite long stand- ing--can be removed by this method. If you've a bad headache just as you're making tea, lean over the pot of a freshly-made tea and inhale the fumes through your nose. Your headache should go. New Clothes Made From Spun Glass Milady, who may not care to be clothed in a basket of chips or a bucket. of milk, has a further choice, according to McGill Uni- versity scientists--a box of old broken bottles. Milady can be dressed in glass, and need not be either scratched or embarrassed. It hee been found possible to spin the sheerest of fabrics from glass, and these fab- rics are resistant to acids, will not mildew, rot or burn. So fine are these glass fabrics that they can be worn next to the skin without any scratchy effect. Any color can be added to eliminate the transparency, and rains run off as outside a window.

It you don't like yours, here is some expert advice from the August fs: sue of McCall's on what to do, and what not to do: "Are your eyebrows too light? Use both mascara and eyebrow pencil to darken: touch hairs de- licately with mascara on a barely damp brush. Then brush . hairs straight up, and shape to a better line. Pencil ends lightly; match mascara and eye pencil. Don't use eyebrow pencil alone to drawn an artificial line on your brows. Don't pluck any hairs except those that are definitely out of line. Don't use black mascara when your brows de- mand a brown shade to blend. Apply Antiseptic "Are your eyebrows too heavy? Pluck them carefully--or have fit done expertly--at least once a week, First, hold cotton wet with hot water against eyebrows. Tweeze each hair firmly in the direction it grows. Apply antiseptic, Brush smooth. Don't pluck your eyebrows to a hair line. Don't pull hairs in bunches, or against the direction in which the hair grows., Don't let scraggly hairs grow out between -- eyebrows over the nose. Don't use a depilatory or a razor.

Mystery Letter Linguistic experts in Imperial Airways' foreign correspondence department. were. baffled by a letter received by the air line. It was in a strange foreign dialect with which none of them were ac- quainted. Thinking it was from a pros- pective passenger, Imperial Air- ways had it translated, at a cost of $25, by a firm specializing in little-known languages. Written in an obsture Slavian dialect it said: "I beg to apply for a position with your company as a laborer." AY « Peach Jam and Jelly » No one likes standing over a hot stove for hours waiting for jelly and jam to boil to the stage where it will be of the right tex- ture to set properly. And yet housewives used to do this every summer with practically all the fruits. It was because these fruits latked the jellying substance, pec- tin, so they didn't have any other way of doing the job. The modern cook just adds the right amount of bottled fruit pectin and in no time has a delicious bateh of jam or jelly with a. marvelous flavor and color. This boon to housekeepers is the result of the work of two brothers named Douglas. And it was a red letter day-in the life of all cooks when these two men learned how to extract pectin from 'fruits which had plenty of it and prepare it for use with fruits that lacked it. - Here are the recipes for ripe peach jam and jelly, using the bottled pectin "short boil" meth- od, You can use the ripest peach- es, peaches at the height of their perfection, and still be sure of getting jam and jelly of the right consistency.

M, - Rabinowitch, of Montreal General Hospital, Many calories are saved if the food is divided into smaller and more frequent meals, he told the American Association for the Advancement of Science last . week, Dr. Rabinowitch maintained that the human body can live on a diet of 2,000 calories a day in- stead of the generally accepted standard of 2,600 to 3,000. A Wasteful Machine "The human body is a very wasteful machine, Very few of the 'calories in the food are made use of for actual work. One cal- orie containg enough energy to raise .a one-pound weight over 8,000 feet, if none of its energy is wasted. A halfteaspoonful of sugar, which contains ten calories, if entirely converted into work without any waste, is capable of raising a one-pound weight to the top of Mount Everest -- 30,000 feet." Sit From a mathematical analysis of the weights of 370,000 life in- surance policyholders, Dr. Rabin- owitch drew the conclusion that the standards of body weight in general use are too low for young people and too high for people past middle life, Overweight Is Bad "The' economic importance of low- calory diets is not confined to the ability to purchase food. Excess weight reduces the chances of long life. Fat people are sus- ceptible to liseases of the heart, arteries and kidneys. They also resist infections very poorly and are poor operation risks." $ Travelling Tips Making a Holiday Journey In Comfc:it Station platforms «ct holiday time present innumerable exam- ples of what not to do on a jour- ney. There's an art in travelling and - to arrive fresh as a daisy at your journey's end is something of a triumph. : } To travel well is to travel ser- enely--which means having just as little luggage as you can man- age with. When your stay is to be for a fortnight or thereabouts, nothing more than will go into a suitcase --and possibly a small hatbox--is necessary. Take a mackintosh that will roll up into a small space and an umbrella that will pack. : See that your Landbag is capa- cious enough to hold all your ac- cessories; ticket, money, etc., and all you require for beauty repairs en route--without bulging. If you would avoid "sitting out" the skirt of a tailored suit, don't wear it in trains or motor cars. A "soft" suit or coat and dress of uncrushable wool is smartest for travelling. - And leave out the. lingerie touches on your dress--they will get grubby immediately on a train, A pair of fresh gloves to don before stepping from the carriage will do much to .maintain your reputation for band-box chic with the friends who are meeting you. Court Is Shocked By Debs' Dresses Members of Royal Entourage Are "Horrified" At Gowns Appearing Before The King. Mayfair buzzed with excited talk last week of the "shocking" dresses some of the debutantes wore when presented to King George V1 at Wednesday night's royal court. An edict was expected from the Lord Chamberlain suggesting that less skin and more modesty be shown. Members of the court were liter ally "dumbfounded" when one deb made her curtsy in a dress resemb- ling a beach costume with brassiere and skirt. They. were "horrified" when an. other girl paraded before His Ma- jesty with a dress almost backless, Then they were "'speechless" when yet a third debutante appeared in _.8 gown with: a Sixteenth Century Square neckline cut lower than any seen In Buckingham Palace since Victorian days when women wore off-the-shoulder 'gowns. There was evidence at Thursday night's presentation that the deby. © tantes invited to court had received a rogal hint about decollete gowns, 48 many made last minute ad. ditions to (heir low-cut costumes, At least seven of the debs, unable to arrange for new gowns, fell back on scarves, which they draped all about their shoulders when they curtsied to the King.
