PO Violette Kimball Dunn «SYNOPSIS After Mark Alexander's beautiful wife Ellen died, her whole family became interested in Valerie, El lens' daughter by a former mar: riage, and in the trust fund left Valecie. All are anxious to adopt Valerie -- all save Shirley, but' Mark will have none of It, Mark hires Lucy Tredway to tutor Val. erie and keeps Lucy In the house, much to Elise's dismay. Elise meets Mark at the office and drives home with him, criticizing Lucy all the way. Mark leaves her at her door znd drives on, half amused, half disgusted. CHAPTER 19 He turned in at his own gates fecling as if he had escaped from something. He found Shirley, wrap- ped in the white bath coat, Just getling into her car. Lucy and Val erio stood together, in their swim- ming suits, by the running board, Valerie cried out when she saw him, and ran to kiss him; stand. ing carefully bowedanot to get him wet. "Oh--we missed you!" she sald. "What do you mean, missed?" he laughed. "Compared to the way -1 missed you, you'ré a rank out- sider!" "You sce," she told Lucy. "I told you he wanted to be here and couldn't." "Did-1!" he said, He held out a hand each to Shirley and Lucy. It was marvelous to he back where he could breathe. "I only detended to come for gwimming," 'said Shirley. He jumped in beside Shirley now, and drove with her down to his gates. He had gathered in some mysterious way that she had some- thing more to say to hini. Shirley drew up just this side of - the lodge, shut off the engine, and sat tooking at him, He looked back, .his eyes full of admiration. Heo found he was suddenly un- troubled by whatever she was going to tell him, "I gathered there was something on your mind," he said lazily. "Nothing important." -- Hoe relaxed more completely. Whatever it was, he wag not in'for another- lecture on the properties. ----"I-didn't--want to speak before Valerie, in case you didn't approve of what 1 was going to say." 'Wonderous wise--you, I mean," he said softly. 3 3 Shirley 'smiled at him. "Rather stupid, really. However --- I just want to give a little party for her. And Lucy too, of course, If she. cares for anything so juvenile, That girl's a wonder, by the way." "I'm glad you think so," said Mark. He wondered if she knew how glad. Valerie was filled with alternate shivers of delight and dread at the Britain's Fighting Planes and Warships 29 NO AVAILA LE pr ds ly Re chok A sto!

She lov- « ed to dance,.and 'the prospect of going off alone just to be atnused was stupendous. She relayed Shir ley's invitation to Lucy, who wise ly declined ft, Lucy telephoned Shirley. when Valerie was out of hearing. "You're sweet to ask me." she sald, "but I think: I shan't come, You'll understand how it 1s, I've been longing for her to know children her own age. But 1 didn't know just how to go about it." "I wish you'd, told me," Shirley's voice came back warmly, "I'd love to help, whenever 1 can: Maybe you'll have lunch with me some day soon. There are some things I might be able to tell you--" Something in" her tone made Yugf agin eagerly, "I'd love it," she/said, "Call wo when you want me, And do make it soon." Valerie went off in state, driven by Catlet. She looked rather like a pale pink cloud in her flesh- colored dancing frock, with a tiny * string of pearls about her throat. Alone With Mark It wasn't yntil Chiltern announce: ed dinner that Lucy realized she was sitting down to her first meal alone with Mark. It was early Sep- tember, and summer was still in the air. Lucy woré white, and her eyes were dark wider the gold of her hair, ¢ It was the purest gold Mark had ever seen. Neither platinum nor honye, but the color of an old _burnished coin. It Jay in smooth waves against her little head, and' Mark found himself suddenly long- ing to touch it. The gold of Ellen's hair had been pale and exquisite, and her eyes a curious, almost purple blue. But the gold on this girl's head was like a crown. Lucy rested him just because she had missed beauty by the mer. est fraction, Her skin was delicate and white, and the contrast of hei "eyes and hair would always set her a little apart, Taken one by one, her features were charming. As- sembled, they somehow lacked the intangible quality of beauty. "The modern spirit. I suppose you would call it," said Mrs, Ban wood to Chiltern, He had just car ried the big silver tray with its shinning coffee service out to the terrace, where Mark and Lucy re- Jaxed in long chairs of split bam- boo, and watched the tiny cresent of the moon. ""The world's gone on since your time .and "mine, if that's what you ~ mean,' agreed Chiltern amiably. He knew quite well that she was: registering disapproval -of- affairs --{-- on the terrace. And he knew she dared not voice them more ex- plicitly- without encouragement from him, which she would never get. So he smiled blapdly and wont back to see if there was something more he could do for Mark and Lucy. < : 'Life An Ipterlude There was, for they both declin- ed a second cup of coffce; and presently he went back to Mrs. Banwood, carrying the tray before him like a sort of shiiing shield, "A beautiful night," he said sen- timentally. "Sets one to thinking of all sorts of things. Youth, and summer--" 3 "Humph!" said Mrs. Banwood. _ Mark looked across to where Lucy rested, arms behind her gold: en head, She looked hardly more than: the wraith of a girl, for they had turned off the terrace lights, and there was only the faint gleam of the little moon, and the glimmer of low-hung innumerable stars. Scents drifted up to them with every. slightest stirring of air, The almost unearthly perfume of roses, and the fragrance of late-blooming honeysuckle floated about them. It came over Lucy with a sud- den stab, that she would sometime leave all thie for that drab world where there were hills to pay and work to: do. Nothing that she 'did at present was the least like work. Life was just a sort of unbelievable interlude where beauty and. kind- ness were like the air they breath. ed of 'Mark, but only as an accompani- ment to her thoughts, So she start. ed when he got up and dropped down on a stool beslde-her chair, "Bored?" he asked. It was a dif- ferent voice from the family-circle one he used every day, She looked at him in amazement. "Bored?" she echoed. She thought she could hardly have un- dertsood him, . "Well--I just wonderéd. There are always the village movies, you know." "If "you think 1 could even pre- | tend to want movies, with all the pictures "the night makes in this gorgeous garden, you must think I'm a good actor," she said, ; She: was dglightfully conscious | "I. think --you're a bad. actor.

Party At Home By: KATHARINE BAKER Hallowe'en is one festival which the youngsters claim for them- sélves. The Idea of ghosts, goblins, black cats and witches wandering about doesn't seem to appeal to frighten "adults but the kids love to scare themselves and each other on this make-believe night, Even it the older children don't take the horrors of Hallow- o'en seriously, they do like to dress up in weird costumes and celebrate the occasion with a party. Unless parents arrange some sort of » "do" at home for the children of all ages, they are like- ly to wander around the streets getting into various brands of mis- chief. So having a home party where the youngsters can be super- vised, is well worth the extra time and work of arranging a party and preparing refreshments. Games for a Hallowe'en party are so standardized that they are no prob- lem, Bobbing for apples {8 a "must" in the games line as is also this delicious chocolate ca .e'in the re- freshment line, It is topped with an orange frosting to. harmonize with the Hallowe'en color scheme.

The Hired Man Is On Way Out -- These --college--economists are always -up to some startling dis- covery. Now, out of Michigan State College, comes the surmise that the hired man, once the back-hone of the nation's farms, is on the way out. The reasons are given as mechanized equipment, the draft' and the luring away of farm help by higher wages in the cities. It the time ever comes when there are no more hired men on our farms it will be too bad. The hired man, at his best, was a bu- coli¢ Admirable Crichton.
