Moving to New York, Mrs, 'Needham 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 prestige. When Rodney Sinclair, wealthy soc- ialite, falls in love with Gay, Irene is enraged, for she herself had designs on Rodney. For reasons of her own, she plays up to Gay's young brother, Jock. Meanwhile, Van Gordon has sent a mysterious cakle to a Marvin Ploame in Paris. - No Room For Both Jock came sauntering up. His face flushed, and his step unsteady. "She --" Ie made a motion toward Irene, danging past with Rodney -- "she ma-makesh me tired!" "Pll dance with you," Gay offered, but Jock shook his head gloomily. "Too--too drunk to dansh. Her fault. She makesh me tired!" Gay introduced Jock to Ploame just as Rodney and Irene came to a stop near by, as the music ended. Rodney came over to Gay then. "Next dance?' he asked quietly. "Yes, Rod." She couldn't disguise the relief in her tone. "Rodney, have you met Mr. Ploame?"' Rodney did not answer. Instead, he took her arm and led her away. "l.do not care to meet Marvin Ploame," he said, when they were out of hearing, "and you, Gay, will be bet- ter off if you steer clear of him. I understand he's been abroad. I wish he still were." "I--I--notice he and Irene seem to be good friends," Gay said, as she glanced back to see Irene and Ploame in an obviously confidential conversa- tion. "Yes, He knows the Stromleys well. Let Irene have him! But you . . . you're different. were you." Gay did not answer. She could not promise to ignore Marvin Ploame, with that half-veil®d threat of Ber- nal Van Gordon's still fresh in her mind. Suddenly, she felt weary and tired and disgusted. "This party)' she eaid. "I--if it's all right with you, Rod, let's slip away." "It's exactly what I'd like to do," Rodney answered quickly. 'The fact is, no room is large enough for both Marvin Ploame and me." Sinister Talk "~ They slipped away soon after that. Gay was glad to go--glad to be alone with Rodney. It was so peaceful af- ter the dark, troublesome undercur- rents of the party. That Ploame man, and Van Gordon's insistence that she be nice to him; Jock, sullen and bit- ter; and Irene watching her from those half-closed, glinting eyes. She was so quiet that Rodney no- ticed and said, "Tired tonight, aren't you? We'll drive right home, and you can get a few extra winks, Tomorrow night is the Unity League dinner. I'm couating on you to go with me." "Oh, Rod, I'll love going -- with you." His arms suddenly her. "You're sweet, Gay. We're going to have a talk--about us--soon, aren't we?" Gay's lips responded to his eager- ly, but somehow, she couldn't find voice to say what she wanted to -- "Rodney dear, of course. And make closed about I'd ignore him if I DO YOU FEEL SLUGGISH?

Happy tears in her eyes. It was just as well that she did not know that three people--two men and a woman--were talking together in a small room while the party guests made merry. Sinister talk that con- cerned her, Talk that included Jock, who lay in a drunken stupor on a divan near by, utterly oblivious to what was happening near him. CHAPTER VI Gay went about, the next day, In a daze of happiness. A date with Rod tonight for the Unity League dinner! The hours poked until he came for her. The dinner was given in a private dining room of one of the city's most exclusive hotels. The guests had just been seated when there was a sud- den hfish. Gay looked up. Conley Milbraum was entering with his bride. Irene had told Gay all about the misal- liance.- Conley, scion of the wealthy house of Milbraum, had eloped with Mary Starr, a housemaid in his mother's home. This, apparently, was their first appearance in public. Gay lcoked at the wistful girl, whose big blue eyes darted shyly about the room. She was lovely. Then--to Gay's horror--couple af- ter couple rose and left the room. ' Women lifted their heads haughtily. In a moment, the room was empty ex- cept for Gay and Rodney and the un- fortunate couple. And then, the little bride sank in- to the nearest chair, buried her head in her arms on the table, and sobbed heartbrokenly. Gay rose, went to her, and put both arms about her. ; An Instant Liking But the other girl continued to sob. "]--J--don't care about myself, b-b-but you, Conley. They are your friends!" "What's the difference?" Conley spoke cheerfully. "As long as a fel- low like Rod Sinclair stands by. Tell you what--Ilet's make this a party. The four of us will do a show, then a night club." "Yes--let's!" Gay spoke impulsive- ly as she noticed a look of reluctance on Rodney's face. And then, the four were in the Mil- braum limousine, and Mary Milbraum was drying her eyes, powdering her nose. Gay and Mary liked each other instantly. The evening proved a suc- cess, despite its unhappy beginning. But when Gay and Rodney were on their way home, he said: "You shouldn't have done that, Gay. After all, the girl is just a house- maid. Nice of you to defend her but, after all, not even Con's parents have accepted her, you know," "But, she's lovely!" Gay protested. "Yes," Rodney agreed. "But when people step out of their class and pro- tend they're something they are not, it just means trouble." *Gay did not reply. So that was the way Rodney felt! Oh, he must never, 'never know the truth about her. Pre- tending to be something she was not! Very Unwise Move The next day, Irene stopped in to see Gay. "You certainly played the part of a fool last night," she said bluntly. "But Mary Milbraum is felt so . . ." - "Of all the people in that room, you could least afford to pull such a stunt!" Irene interposed. Mrs. Needham entered the room just then. " "Van Gordon has just phoned," she said nervously. "He's terribly wrought up over something you did last night, Gay. What was it?" Irene told her. sweet. I "Oh, dear," said Mrs. Needham. "I'm afraid that was very . unwise, Gay." Shortly afterward, Van Gordon him- self appeared. "This Milbraum mess is bad," he barked. "I thought you knew better, Miss Needham. I've been afraid that people were already getting a little suspicious, This will increase their suspicions." : ¥Weil, then, why don't you do some- thing!" Irene. jumped up impatient- Issue No. 2--'38 € Sips "30, 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40. ly. "A scandal right now would . .." She bit her lip. : Van Gordon was thoughtful a mo- ment. "I think," he mused, "we might align ourselves with the racing set. That crowd just now is mainly at Southampton. I suggest, Mrs. Need- ham, that you close this house tem- porarily and take a place at South- ampton until this blows over. Didn't you tell me you had a string of race horses at the ranch?" "Why, yes, They..." "Very well," Van Gordon interrupt- ed. "Send for some of them. Mean- while, move out to Southampton and string along with the racing and inter- national crowd. Avoid the Newport clique." "I suppose you know, Gay," Irene remarked smoothly, "that Rodney be- longs to the Newport group. But you made quite a hit with Marvin Ploame. I'm sure he'll be glad to escort you about." Gay did not answer. What would Rodney think of all this? She could not explain, no matter what happened. But she was saved an explanation. Rodney was called out of town. When J he returned, the Needhams were al- ready ensconced on an estate at Southampton, (TO BE CONTINUED) Take Your Ease in Gay Housecoat or Frock-- Both From One Design PATTERN 4405 By Anne Adams "Relax . . .

Gladden your table with home-made cakes which are so far ahead of store-bought ones that there just isn't any comparison. Make lots of different cakes too, the old stand- bys are good, but most people get tired of the same cake and the same old frosting. Fine cakes are really a work of art and a credit to any cook. And the success of a cake is mot just an ac- cident. Cake bakers often experiment for a long time before they acquire the knack of always turning out a perfect product. Science has elimin- ated one hazard of cake baking by producing a fine cake flour. Flour that is sifted and sifted through silk- en sieves till it is twenty-seven times finer than ordinary flour, has been produced especially for cake making. The light, feathery texture of this flour provides a fool-proof main in- gredient and provided the other rules of cake baking are followed exactly, every woman should be able to turn out light, evenly textured and delici- ous cakes every time. Here is a brand new cake with which to start the New Year. It is ,a special kind of spice cake and easy to make. It will be especially popu- lar with youngsters and is perfect for teas and luncheons.

Add eggs and molasses and beat well, add flour, alternately with milk, a small amount at a time, beating after each addition until smooth. Bake in two greased 9-inch layer pans in moderate oven (375 deg. F.) 80 minutes or until done. This cake is delicious served warm and unfrosted with baked apples or applesauce.

F.); beat un- til thick and creamy and of right consistency to spread. Makes . enough frosting to cover tops and sides of two 9-inch layers. Decorate with pecan halves or chopped nuts, if desired.

The Shawnee, Okla, "head ticker" was at Hines Hospital, Chicago, for three weeks. During that time several specialists in oral and cranial disor- ders have studied his peculiar afflic- tion. The sound of the ticking, audible a few inches from Hester's ear, travels through the eustachian tube to the middle ear and is caused by the pala- tal muscles, said a specialist. Sound Heard By Others "The movement is caused by an action that should not be termed vol- untary, because we do not know that he wants to do it," explained the phy- sician. "But he can control it. He is capable of starting and stopping the ticking at will. "It is a hysterical sort of thing, and through psychological treatment at the hands of his own physician it may be possible for him to overcome the trouble." The specialist said the ticking in Hester's head occurs when his con- scious mind is off guard a moment, and that unlike a person with a mus- cular tick he can control it. Hester's head ticking was stopped tempararily by passing a tube through the nose to the throat, which: held the palate so he couldn't make it click. : The 43-year-old war veteran was urged by physicians to hope that psy- chological treatments will end the ticking and try not to worry about the eccentric ailment. Items Popular In Grandma' Day Are Coming Back -- Ear- Muffs and Mittens The feminine younger generation has gone "sensible" in wearing ap- parel.

To Shoplifting Starving Woman Thief Identified As Member of Royalty A thin, gray-haired woman, dressed in old clothes, walked up to the coun- ter of a Warsaw grocery store, glanced over her shoulder, and put a packet of butter into her bag. Then a shop detective stopped her. An hour later--at police headquarters --faded identification papers revealed her as Princess Maria Tatiana Tun- | gutov, born 56 years ago--a Russian princess, once famous for her big- | scale entertainments. Her husband, Prince Tungutov, shot by Bolsheviks in 1921, was one of Czarist Russia's wealthiest men and owned gold and silver mines in Siberia. She told the police.

"In Other Countries -- Japan Is One of the Most Difficult Mar- kets to Supply With Movies. A film censor exists in every coun- try to-day. But he works by very different standards in different coun- tries. What goes for one nation will not please another. So difficult are these people to please, that the film makers of Hollywood and Britain have a constant headache deciding whether certain pictures will pass the censor and make money for them in the various countries that buy these films. Here in Britain the censor is, per- haps, the most broadminded of any country, says Pearson's Weekly. But even Britain lays down certain ta- boos for foreign films. American film magnates know that the British censor is perhaps more careful about the dignity of the British Army and Navy than about whether some adol- escent is going to carry away a moral blot from seeing a 'picture. ~Certain Nations Susceptible But more worying to the film pro- ducer in search of world markets are the growing susceptibilities of vari- ous nationals. Make your villain in the film a Japanese, and the picture is promptly banned in Japan and a protest forwarded to Washington by the Japanese government. g No Kissing Allowed Japan, in fact, is one of the most * difficult markets to supply with films. Close-ups of kissing -- consid- ered obscene--must be cut out as a matter of course. tk Nor is anything savouring of revo- lutionary ideas permitted.

So it was that in nearly all gangster films the most murderous character was an Itaian. Mussolini and his advisers writhed under this indictment of the Italian in America. They proczeded to ban all films in which the Italian is not the hero. The Scandinavian countries have an almost fanatical dislike of horror, and this has led to the banning of several Walt Disney cartoons and all the Dracula and Frankenstein thrill- ers. France, on the other hand, seems one of the most tolerant of nations. France resents no legitimate French villains or comies, but will not permit a slur upon the French nation. Where Censorship Is Strictest In Quebec diverce may not even be mentioned on the screen, while affec- tionate scenes even between actors who are playing happily married folk, are forbidden. Ask film producers where they find censorship most strict, and they point to two cities on the woérld map --Quebec (Canada) and Singapare (Malaya). 10c a day buys a new guaranteed REMINGTON PORTABLE TYPEWRITER with all essential features i FREE-- CARRYING CASE TOUCH TYPING INSTRUCTOR Write-- Remington Rand Limited Toronto. .... ;
