Serial ; | Story A Page of Interest to Women Fashions Recipes Orange Pekoe Blend When Gay Needham, whose home Western ranch, inherits a large of money, her mother decides it should be used to get Gay into society. Mrs. Needham moves the entire family to New York, where she connects with Bernal Van Gordon, an agent who arranges for Gay to have a joint debut with Irene Stromley--Gay to supply the money, and the Stromleys the social pres- tige. Meanwhile, Gay meets Rod- ney Sinclair, a wealthy young social- ite. Irene has designs on Rodney, but he falls in love with Gay, and it is only because of him that Gay is willing to go through with the preparations for her debut. is a sum that "]--J--don't know, Mother, except --Irene's so clever, and I imagine if a man cared for her--she'd be cruel. There's something go hard about her. I feel, sometimes, as though she de- spises us--would do anything to harm. . . ." "That's ridiculous!' Mrs. Need- ham retorted, but her voice lacked conviction. "If you feel like that, the sooner we get this debut over, the better. I'm going to phone Van Gordon right now--tell him to have Mrs. Stromley and Irene in his of- fice in the morning to plan all the details." wo * * TRE next morning, when they all met 'at Van Gordon's office, it was Irene who insisted, "Let's have the debut right away--the very first of next month." : Her eyes glittered. Rodney was hanging around Gay entirely too much. Society would show her up quicker than anything and, if it didn't-- well, there was that weak Jock. Oh, there were ways and means, and she was not one to hesi- tate. So the date for the debut was set for early thé next month. Irene left everything to her mother, Mrs. Need- ham and Gay. She needed her own time for meetings with Rodney. 'Casual, accidental meetings, but jearefully planned. If Rodney won- i SHAM Sharon Wynne DEBUTANTE dered why he was always running into Irene, he didn't seem to mind. He could talk to her about Gay. Drinking Too Much And Irene also needed time for Jock, if she were to keep him where she wanted him. Gay, even in all the flurry of excitement, worried about her brother. He was begin- ning to look dissipated. "Mother, is Jock seeing that ac- tress again?' she asked, one morn- ing at breakfast. "He never gets home until dawn, and he's--he's al- ways drunk." "Oh, Jock is all right," Mrs. Needham answered complacently -- "He's spending all his time with Irene. Honestly, I believe he's fall- ing in love with her." "You believe. . . ." Gay gasped. "Mother, we can't let that happen! Irene doesn't care anything about Jock. If it's her fault he's drinking so much--oh, I must talk to him!" * * * But Gay did not talk to Jock. She got little more than brief glimpses of him. Meanwhile, time flew by. It was impossible to crowd in all the things that waited to be done. "I hate to allow you to do all this," Irene said, a few days before the scheduled debut, "but it is a mat#~~ ~f money now, and that be- longs to you, Gay darling." Was thére cool scorn in the words? Gay tried to tell herself it was im- agination, "I'm fairly busy myself," Irene went on, lazily. "Rodney does rush one." "Rodney!" A shiver of fear went through Gay. She hadn't seen Rod- ney for days. "Ye-es." Irene yawned. "Be- tween Rod and Jock. . .". : Gay said suddenly, "Jock. Then you are seeing him. I've been wor- ried--intended to talk to him--you see, I'm afraid he's drinking too much." "Drinking, my dear! You can't be that mid-Victorian. Surely you do not begrudge the lad a bit of fun."

"Oh all right, my dear. We.can't have you worried, with our debut just a few days off. Gay, aren't you thrilled ?"' Gay wanted to say she was, This was the first step toward becoming a girl of whom Dowager Sinclair would approve--but "cold at the crest." Why did Celia's words come back to mock her? No expense had been spared for the Needham - Stromley debut. Even nature was in a lavish mood when the evening finally came. It was a cool, perfect night with a gorgeous moon to add beauty to the roof garden when guests got tired of the ornate jade-and-silver ballroom in the big ho- tel where the party was held. Gay was exquisite in silver net over Alice-blue taffeta. Irene was stunning in rose satin which clung daringly to her slim figure. The two giris' were so different, it was not possible to compare them, but from the first it was easy to see which wag the more popular. The men swarmed around Gay, constantly cutting in on her on the dance floor. At midnight, she managed to slip away to the ladies' lounge te repair her make-up. Irene was there, gittitng moodily in a corner, - "Well, how do you like it?" asked casually. "It's--it's wonderful," said Gay. "So you've decided that money and 11 that goes with it is not so bad, after all?" There was a hint of mock- ery in Irene's tone. "Sometimes I think you misunder- stand me, Irene," Gay answered earn- estly. "I--of course, I think this is wonderful. Who could help it? But the cost----the expense for jasi one evening! It would do--that is, there wag something back home--a purify- ing plant for people to . "Oh, so youre one of those dear souls who want to do something for the pee-pul!" Irene laughed. "But for a certain reason--is his name Rod- ney, darling?--you go through with all this." Gay's face flamed. "You seem to want to be unpleasant!" she flared. "Well, I won't have it! Not tonight. We--think how we have planned and looked forward to this, Irene. Let's not spoil it. It's--everything is per- fect. Please--can't you gee?" "Too well," Irene said curtly. "Go on out and enjoy it--Cinderella." Eyes Only For Her . Rodney was waiting ag (sv -e.en- tered the ballroom. They i ws.» out on the floor. Rodney was a meryeious dancer. And the thrill of his arms about her---the sheer happiness of his nearness! Gay was flushed and trem- ulous. : Someone cut in, then someone else, and someone ¢lse. Gay moved through it all in a daze of happiness. Surely this would mean the Dowager Sinclair wouldn't frown upon her. And Rodney had scarcely looked at Irene all even- ing. His eyes were only for her-- she 'Gay. Jock and Irene danced by just then. Gay saw Irene laugh at something Jock had said, her face close to his. Her hand behind his head patted his hair a second, then nestled at the back of his neck caressingly. Gay saw them stop at the punch bowl, and trembled as she saw Irene hold up a glass to Jock's lips. Her partner was guiding her out of vision. Gay was glad. She suddenly wished she wouldn't see Irene again the whole evening. Her glance strayed toward the door. Bernal Van Gordon was standing there, Gay was startled. She hadn't known he planned to attend. He stocd looking at the scene, smiling his sardonic smile. Gay closed her eves. She didn't want to see Van Gordon, either. The dance ended, and Rodney claimed her again. She forgot Van Gordon and Irene. Nothing matiered as long as Rodney looked at her that way. . It was dawn before Gay got home. But she wasn't tired. She sat before her mirror, starry-eyed. Yes, her mother had been right. If she hadn't come to New York, she would never ave met Rodney. And there was no one in the ranch country like him. No one in the world!

A Milanese housewife bought a chicken, and while preparing it for table found inside it a 200-lire share in an electrical company, carefully folded and in perfect preservation. It had been one of a number of fowls stuffed with valuable securities, and had escaped in the confusion when its owner was caught by Customs agents. to the meal. « Desserts; Colorful, But Light » Turkey is not the only creature stuffed during the holiday season for most of mankind seems to be satis- fied with fine, rich foods. The rich food was awfully good while it lasted but not easy on the digestion, and in many cases, has left people feeling a bit groggy and over-fed. Now is the time to serve light, but tasty foods and give the family a chance to get back into the normal eating routine once again. When it comes to desserts, there is nothing that will appeal to every- one more than jellies. These tasty, quivering colorful moulds are a pleasure to look at and a delight to eat. During the rush of the holiday season they are especially handy be- cause the busy housewife can make one of these desserts in practically no time at all and the ingredients used can be just what you have on hand: plain fruit jelly powders, attractively moulded and served with cream or custard sauees, make a lovely finale They are delicious when moulded with fruits in unusual flavor combinations.

Western Reserve University's down- town unit, Cleveland College, has a course in "the technique of social and business intercourse," adopted at the suggestion of Newton D. Baker, a uni- versity trustee. - The former secretary of war was said to have been amazed at the bad manners of college graduates. "He wag astounded," explained Dr. A. Cas- well Ellis of the college faculty, "when he saw a couple of them using the banjo grip on a fork at the dinner ta- ble." The laboratory method of teaching will be used in the course. Classes will give teas and dinners so students will have an opportunity to practice good manners, Persons not studying in the college will be permitted to enroll. "Full-time students are advised to select this course," Dr. Ellis said. "Not merely the rules of acceptable social procedure are discussed, but also the underlying philosophy and psychology which. give meaning to the procedures followed by people of cul- ture and refinement. "Among the topics to be studied are. "Correct forms of introduction under various circumstances, how to meet people easily and put them at ease, how to start and carry on inter- esting conversations, how to use the voice--quality, pitch, enunciation, in- flection--posture, poise, detection and overcoming of unpleasant habits, get- ting away gracefully, the host and hostess in the home, the guest in an- other's home, conduct in public places and travelling, dress for different oc- casions, how to make friends, how to lose friends." Britain Expects Lindberghs Back Fact Two Children Left Behind Is Taken As Indication British newspapers broke their months of comparative silence on the doings of Col. and Mrs, Charles A. Lindbergh, last week, in dispatches announcing their arrival in the United States. Some of the newspapers expressed pride that the Lindberghs had found in England the peace and seelusnion they had been "unable to find" in their native land. Was Unobstrusive Host They displayed prominently New York accounts asserting that 'scenes of enthusiasm like those when Lind- Lergh returned after his Atlantic flight," marked the arrival of the Lone Bagle and his wife. These dispatches added that hundreds of automobiles blocked roads about Englewood, N.J., where the Lindberghs were staying, and that special police were posted about the Morrow estate. There were confident predictions that the couple would return shortly to the country which had been their unobtrusive host for nearly two years in order to take up again their seclud- ed life with their children. Sons Left Behind The fact that their two sons -- Jon aged 5, and seven-months old Land Morrow -- were left behind was taken ag an indication that the surprise visit to their homeland would be a brief one. The children were believed to be ei- ther at the Lindbergh estate, "Long Barn," near Sevenoaks, England, or in Wales, with Mrs. Lindbergh's sister, Mrs. Aubrey Niel Morgan, Since the taciturn flier arrived in England, December 31st, 1935, he has had no cause to complain of his treatment by the British press and public. As he wished, the Lindbergh family has heen Jeft Shey alone. To Theo Chemical Compound of Et Magmesium, Cal- cium,' Prolactin Produces Mater- | nal Affection, Medical Expert Says. Human. mother love was traced to magnesium, calcium and prolactin last week by Dr. Charles R. Stockard of Cornell Medical College in a talk to the New York Academy of Medicine. There are other elements in such love, but lack of these three chemi- cals, he said, may account for the often observed cases of distorted ma- ternal affection, such as the women who show violent dislike for their babies. Both magnesium and calcium may be present in her body, but be out of balance. These two are essential chemicals in living tissues. Prolactin is a com- plex chemical, a hormone, manufac- tured in the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. Its primary use is to stimulate production of milk. Studies of the endocrine glands of dogs, Dr. Stockard said, led to the human clues. The endocrines are the glands of internal secretion, and the principal ones are pituitary, thyroid, adrenals and suprarenals and the go- nads, or sex glands. Bulldogs, Dr. Stockard explained, owe their massive heads and ugly faces to a peculiarity of their thy- roid glands. In them this organ has an unusual disproportion of cells with affinity for acids and bases 2 Female bulldogs frequently have distorted maternal instincts and will even eat their puupies. This distor- tion, said Dr. Stockard, is attributed to the thyroids. . Women Spend More But Donate Less Both Sexes Weculd Rather Will Money Than Bestow It While Living American women possess more of the private wealth of the country but contribute less to private charity than men, a man and a woman speak- er said last week at a meeting in New York of the National Committee for Religion and Welfare Recovery. "Women do not give as generously as men nor do they give to as many types of organizations," said Miss Mary BE. Hughes, director of the Na- tional Committee's women's division. "They have not as yet accepted the principle of stewardship, . although the wealth of the country is rapidly getting into thelr hands.

Morrill, of the Pres byterian 'Church's Department of Missions, said that although womex were richer, a survey showed tha they gave away only one-half ag much money as men. Miss Hughes said that women gave principally te churches and health groups, and com- paratively seldom to education. "Investigations have showed that both men and women are seven tim- es as willing to give by will as they are to give when alive," Dr: Morrill revealed. : SHELTON HOTEL'S "Added " Attractions The Shelton's added attrac- tions bring it out of the average hotel class.
