Ellen's sister Dorothy, has already arranged for Valerie to live with her, but Mark will hear none of it. The family and friends come in to heer Ellen's will read. CHAPTER 1VY Valerie dropped her father's hand, and moved to where Shirley paused on her way down the hall. She liked to be near Shirley. It wasn't only the strange different perfume that drifted indefinably about her and drew you like a sort of magnet. There was something else that drew you, too. Just as there was something about Elise that pushed you away. Shirley put an arm around Val- erie, 'and bent down to speak.

We could do--oh, a lot of things. It might be fun." "It would be lovely." She put her nose a little nearer Shirley and sniffed quietly. "I'll call you up," said Shirley. She spoke as if it were a secret. Valerie felt she must have aged at least ten years. Nobody had ever spoken of calling her up be- fore. Off-hand like that. As if it were nothing. "I suppose you wouldn't forget-- thank you--" she whispered hur. riedly. Dorothy and Paul, with Elise behind, near Mark, were moving down on them. "That is-- of course--we're going away--" "Mark told me. But I'll know when you get home," Shirley whis- pered back. "I'll be seeing you--" She . leaned and kissed Valerie quickly, almost as if no one must see. Reading of the Will The will was read on Friday. On Saturday, Dorothy and Paul left for home. Catlett, the chauffeur, load- ed them and their luggage into the town car, and Mark drove Val- erie in his roadster. She had lifted her face obediently for her aunt's kiss when Mark swung his long-nosed roadster into the drive. He jumped out and ran into the house. "I thought it would be better for us to follow you than to try to crowd in," he told Paul. "Hadn't you better be getting on your bon- net and shawl, Val?" Valerie wondered if she was dreaming. She looked closely at Mark to be sure he was in his right mind. "Are you--going to take me to the station?" she asked. "You didn't think I was gong to leave you here, did you?" Dorothy opencd her lips, but Valerie didn't wait to hear what came out. She was already leap- ing up the wide stairs toward her room. * "Do you really think this is quite wise?" asked Dorothy. "I had hoped to have a last talk with you about the child on the way to town." Dorothy lowered her voice again, and drew still closer. "Her wardrobe--" : "You mean she needs new clothes?" asked Mark. "I'm glad you reminded me. We'll look some up today as soon as your train pulls out." Valerie's Clothes "That isn't exactly what I meant. You see, I've had no time to order all her mourning. She isn't even wearing the dress I got for her the day before the funeral--" Mark blessed the faint thud of Valerie's descending footsteps oa the stairs above. "She probably forgot," he apologized. "After all, you can hardly blame her--at her age--" Valerie now came into sight aiound the bend in the stairs. A blue beret was half on her head, and her coat hung by one sleeve, while she struggled into the other. Mark 'caught her just as she stumbled down the last two steps.. He straightened her hat, and put her into her coat. fire?" he asked calmly. "I was afraid you'd get tired * waiting--or--change your mind--" "How do you know I've got one?" She looked up with a quick halt glance and then giggled suddenly. " "Go on out and climb in," he or- dered. "Second car to the rear-- seat beside the driver. That's me." "Now--" He followed Dorothy and Paul out to the car, and saw them safely inside. He even shut the door himself, so there would be no mistake about it. The Perfect Father "See you at the station, Catlett," he told the chauffeur. The man got in behind the wheel, and the big car purred smoothly away. Mark went in for his hat and coat, and came out again to Valerie. She longed terribly to tell him how marvelous he was. How much more the perfect father than any she had ever made up. "By the - way," he wanted to know, "what are lovey young wo- men wearing this season? Your "aunt seemed to think you ought to have a new deal in frocks. And anything else--" Valerie looked up wisely. "1 want to talk to you about that, please.

There are always exceptions, the exception which fits this case being the trim tailored girl who just won't wear anything but severe clothes--the girl who wears shorts and shirts or overalls; the girl who wears men's wear suitings and shirts, but even so does some- thing to her costume that makes her look quite the reverse. of mas- culine. : Cotton seems to be symbolic of something typically American; al- though the U. 8. isn't the only cotton-growing - country in the world, for some reason or other Americans see in cotton a symbol of their own particular brand of " democracy. Cotton is one of those obliging fabrics that is right for all sorts of purposes; sturdy sail cloths and denims for workers, fragile organdies and mulls for millionaires, as well as girls who look like a million dollars. Pique is one of the summer standbys-- used by milliners, beach and ball room designers and just about everyone who has anything to do with a summer girl's wardrobe. The girl who is budgeted until it hurts couldn't do better than to get herself one or two pique jack- ets, to add to her cotton dance frock with the calm assurance that she has struck the right note.

"I wonder I didn't start sooner." "Now about that black," said Mark, "I should say it all depended on you. I don't happen to like it, myself, but you shall have a ton of it if you want it." "But I don't," she cried. blue--and white--and--" (To be Continued) Household Hints Vinegar lasts much longer if you lay the bottle on ifs side so that the cork is always submerged and automatically kept airtight.

CHAMBERS Vegetable Cooking In boiling vegetables have the water boiling, when vegetable is put in, and keep it boiling. Add "a teaspoon of salt for each quart of water. For strongly flavored vegetables such as cabbage, on- ions, cauliflower, turnips, use a large quantity of water and cook uncovered. By this method the odor is mot so noticeable. For mild vegetables use a small. am- ount of water and cook covered. Spinach and tomatoes do not need water added. White Sauce For Vegetables 2¢ tablespoons butter, 2 table- spoons flour, % teaspoon salt, a few grains pepper, 1 cup milk or % cup milk and % cup vegetable water. Melt butter in saucepan; blend in flour and seasonings; stir in milk and cook until thick- ened. The Most Nourishment Last week 'I promised you "Salad Dressing." Will you please pardon this delay for one week for in comes a request for "More about vegetables" for immediate use. To obtain the most nourish- ment from vegetables and still be the most protection a few rules should be observed. No doubt you all have eaten tasteless vege- tables with the flavor gone and incidentally the food value drain- ed down the kitchen sink. Baking in the skin is the best way to retain the food value of any vegetables--or try cooking in the oven in very little water in a covered dish--and be sure and save the water for sauces-- especially. with onions and carrots is this method splendid. Spinach also may be cooked very satisfac- torily this way. It is not quite as fine a method. Cheese Sauce for Vegetables To 2 cups of white sauce add % cup grated cheese. Stir cheese into the sauce and let stand in a warm place or in double boiler until cheese melts. Scalloped Vegetables ; Use such vegetables as cooked peas, onions, asparagus, carrots, cabbage, celery, cauliflower. To 2 cups cooked vegetables allow 1 cup cream sauce. Combine; put in a buttered casserole or baking dish, top with buttered crumbs and bake in oven until heated through and browned on top. A combination of vegetables such as carrots and peas may be used. Miss Chambers welcomes persons) letters from interested readers.

Safety Urged In Kitchens Quebec Safety League Starts Drive to Cut Percentage Rate Of Home Mishaps The safety angle is essential In any program of home economics, Arthur Gaboury, secretary-general of the Province of Quebec Safety' League, said in an appeal to house- wives to plan carefully in order to reduce the present rate of 17.8 per cent of kitchen accidents in the total of home mishaps. EASILY AVOIDABLE ACCIDENTS The league lists burns, scalds, falls, cuts, strains due to lifting excessive weights, crushing of bones and bruising of flesh in doors and under falling objects, and pois- onings as the chief causes of Kkit- chen accidents. Many such mishaps could be avoided, Mr. Gaboury says, proper check were made of such things as providing a place for everything and a label for such things as need identification. Door hinges and chairs should be kept in good state of 'repair, garbage re- moval should be adequate and pro- per sanitary 'practices observed. Careful methods in house work, the use of safety devices and fire extinguishers, first aid, avoidance of crowding and pushing at doors are also suggested to reduce acci- dents, ~ Coffee Pot Rules Coffee-making may be as old as Mocha but the brew is often spoiled by the condition of the percolator, says a prominent chef. Here are some essential "rules of the coffee-pot": 1. Rinse pot immediately after you empty grounds. 2. Wash in water that has not been used for other dishes. 3. Scrub all parts where sedi- ment or oil may collect. 4. Rinse with boiling water to remove all traces of soap. 5. Let separate parts air thor- oughly between makings. ISSUE 28--'41 c if a- Poised Wom Most Attractive Other Things Than Her Looks Matter -- Poise Can Be Acquired, But the Earlier the Better If a woman has poise, she gets the most out of her beauty. It she doesn't, her beauty is often overlooked. If you sit opposite a woman who , Is fidgety, who keeps twisting a ring on her finger, smoothing her hair, crossing and uncrossing her feet, patting her face, you think: "What a nervous, jittery woman"-- no matter what she looks like. If you are introduced to a wom- - an who is ill-at-ease, who is so uncomfortable that ghe makes you sorry for her, you aren't likely to consider her a beautiful woman --pretty, maybe, but not beautiful. WHILE STILL YOUNG Beauty in anyone but a young girl is tied up with poise, points out Alicia Hart, beauty specialist. It's an inner poise expressed out- wardly by controlled, not jittery, movements, by the assurance that puts a woman in control of any situation in which she finds her- self, by a lack of stiffness that is caused by uncertainty. That is why a beautiful young girl who wants to be a beautiful woman must give thought to other things than her looks. She must learn how to appear at ease, how to sit quietly enough so that her beauty can be recog- nized. Quick, jerky motions are all right for a very young girl, but they spoil the impression a mature woman makes on those about her. Poise isn't hard to acquire once a girl realizes its importance. But it should be acquired while she is still young, for the longer a wom- an waits, the more bad habits she will have to overcome. Trend Toward Femininity Hand-Needlework Worn As Trimming on Plain Dresses-- Simple Patterns Easy to Do More femininity 3 an portant new fashion trend. For & we past it has been observed that New York women are using, along with jewelry, many touches of 'hand-needlework--gay, colorful bits which lend individually and grace to an otherwise sombre basic dress. It needs only a little courage about color, and a sense of orderly ar- rangement, to stitch the bits of enrichment in place. Any sort of stitch that effectively carries the form and color will do. GAY, COLORFUL BITS To draw the design roughly on paper first will be found helpful; then one should define a few out- lines with a basting thread. Simple flower and leaf forms are probably the best ones to start with--unless one wishes to keep to the even simpler geometric outlines. A fault easily indulged is to allow the ar- rangement to get stringy looking and thin. To avoid this, keep in mind a compact massing of threads in each area; and lay in the stitch- es: so that enough color will show to decorate the dress adequately. Too Many Clothes Bad For Babies It Is the Chief Cause of Their Catching Cold in Summer- time Too much clothing is the great: est cause of babies catching colds in the summer according to Miss Margaret Brady of the Child Wel- fare Association of Moatreal. In a recent address Miss Brady claimed that people should never forget that a baby is dependent on others for its comfort and the clothing should be adjusted to the weather. EAT LESS IN SUMMER The baby should be offered drinks frequently between feedings and should not be handled any oftener than necessary. During the summer it should be bathed twice a day and on ver-- hot days a sponge bath during the day will help in making the child more comfortable. Most babies eat less In hot weather, Miss Brady said, and a child should not be forced. Variety should be offered and the food should be in small quantities but attractive. 3 --_-- { Headbands Seen Displacing Hats For Summer Wear--Wrap- Around Type Is Very Popular Summer hats aren't all coming out of hatboxes this season. You can still roll your own turbans, and there are plenty of new fash- ions to work with and plenty of 7 tricks to learn. it will not be just a matter of winding 2nd knotting a plain 'jersey or silk wrap-around into a turban. You'll do far more interesting things. You'll apply gay bunches of flow- ers, tassel-topped hat pins, or decorative finishings of some kind. TASSELS, POSIES, TRIM THEM Half the headbands in the jer- seys and silks have long, fringed ends, and by clever manipulation, you can achieve striking effects. Twist them around and knot them at the front so that the fringe falls rakishly off the side of you head and flirts with your cheek, or knot them at the back, pigtail style. Take a plain but flashing col- ored silk, a striped fabric, or a splashy silk or cotton print head- band and you have the foundation for a fascinating new turban. Circle one around your head and catch it at the center front with a gay cluster of flowers. It is even smart to let your posies spill over onto your forehead like bangs. And two bouquets on your bonnet are even better than one. Go to work on one of the new fish net wrap-arounds. You can have your choice of chenille, cord, or rope nets in bright or pastel colors. They are soft, easy to han- dle, and just what you need if you want comfort plus fashion.
