As for having him as our house guest--it's impossible!" Gay hurried into the room, to find her mother facing Van Gordon. ""Ah-h, Miss Needham. Just in time to convince your mother that our friend, Marvin Ploame, should be your house guest for the next few days." "He will not be," Gay answered. "He will," Van Gordon corrected. He took from his pocket the con- tract that Gay and Mrs. Needham had signed with him. ". .. And we agree to abide by the decisions of Bernal Van Gordon until the end of this contract, one year from the above date," he read. He pocketed the document. "Mr. Ploame will arrive Saturday." After he had gone, Gay and her mother stared at each other, stun- ned by the realization of what they had let themselves in for. "Telephone for Miss Gay," a maid announced, Gay picked up an extension phone. "This ig Mary Milbraum, Gay dear. We've taken a house here for a few months. I wish you'd come over and see me." Gay had continued her friendship with Mary Milbraum despite the dis- approval of many. Mary was real, genuine--a sympathetic confidante. Of all Gay's friends, only Mary knew about Van Gordon and his bureau. Mary's voice was continuing: "Come right away, Gay. I've important news. I've just learned about a society fued --=Sinclair Ploame, see?" 'Pll be right over." down the address. When Gay reached the Milbraum home, she was ushered into Mary's sitting room, "Conley saw Rod just before we left town," Mary told her, with a smile. "He sald to tell you he'd be out real soon." Then her face sobered. "The Milbraums have been doing a bit of detective work, looking up the his- tory of the old Sinclair-Ploame feud, which Conley just happened to re- member. We're both worried about Van Gordon and figure he'd use any- thing to further his interests. "When the feud started, many years ago, the Ploames were newly rich and trying to push their way into society. Gay jotted The Sinclairs, powerful socially, hated" the Ploames because the latter had managed to get a big slice of the Sin- clair Copper Corporation stock. Rod- ney's mother, who was New York's leading young matron, made life pret- ty miserable for Henrietta Ploame, Marvin's mother. "When the Duke of Brisbois visited New York, he was invited to a big party at the Ploame house on a cer- tain date. But immediately, Mrs. Sin- clair issued invitations for a huge re- 10c a day buys a new guaranteed REMINGTON PORTABLE TYPEWRITER } with all essential features FREE-- CARRYING CASE TOUCH TYPING INSTRUCTOR | Write-- Remington Rand Limited - Toronto ception in honor of the Duke on the same date! Of course, she got the Duke, and practically everybody else. "It was a telling blow, The Ploames packed up and went to Europe. They have been in the international erowd ever gince. Naturally, there's nothing a Ploame wouldn't do now to injure a Sinclair. And their money has shrunk." "But I don't just see in what way Van Gordon can make use of that feud," Gay mused. Then she told Mary of his recent visit. "Marvin Ploame will be here Saturday -- that's tomorrow. W-what can I do about it?" Conley was called in to give his ad- vice. "I'm afraid," he said ruafully, "there's nothing to do but play a watchful game." CHAPTER VIII At eleven o'clock the next morning, Saturday, the sound of a car on the front drive attracted Gay. Could it be Marvin Ploame this early? She glanced out the window. It was Rodney! But -- Irene was with him. He was helping her out of his car. Gay hurried to the door to meet them. Rodney, ahead of Irene, took both her hands. "Darling!" he whispered. Irene came up then. "We've invit- ed ourselves to stay for a few days," she drawled. "Fed up with New York. Got room for us, Gay?" "To the rafters!" Gay laughed. The way Rodney had said, "Darling!" Irene didn't matter. Just then, there was the sound of another car. Marvin Ploame's green racer, and Marvin himself leaping out. "Hi, honey!" he greeted Gay. "Sweet of you to ask me out this week-end." Then he looked at Rodney, eyes nar- rowing a little. "Ol' man gloom him- self! Cheer up, my lad. Darkest be- fore dawn. Anybody got a drink?" Gay's happiness vanished as swift- ly as it had come, Rodney and Mar- vin Ploame. Here together! And Ploame's misleading words, "Sweet of you to ask me out..." A Quiet Wedding After the guests had gone to their rooms, Gay walked out through the flower garden to a secluded spot in the grape arbor. Sitting there in the shade, with the cheerful chirp of birds and the lazy drone of bees in her ears, tears filled her eyes. Everything was 80 wrong! "Gay!" She jumped up. "Rodney!" "Honey, you haven't told me yet-- aren't you glad to see me?" "Soglad I..." He was drawing her into his arms --kissing her . , . "Rodney . .." Her arms were about his neck, clinging with the despera- tion of wanting to tell him many things, but not daring. "I've glorious news," he said. *I would have been here before, hut had to make the Mater see. And I did. She -has consented." "Consented?" Gay trembled. "To our marriage." Rodney slipped a huge solitaire on her finger, "You can't say no. Let's be marriéd soon!" "A quiet wedding in the Little Church Around the Corner," Gay an- swered dreamily. "Conley and Mary will go with us." (TO BE CONTINUED) The earth has one satellite, the moon; Jupiter has nine and Saturn 10. HOT ~-- ot - L) -- Cd) / AHEAD: D os Chemist Advises Pastry Makers Says Shortening of Firm Texture Gives Best Results Pastries made with very soft short- enings, even in reduced amounts, tend toward greasiness in the baked pro- ducts, according to a research report made to the American Chemical So- ciety by Adelbert W. Harvey of the Mellon Institute of Industrial Re- search, Pittsburgh. "Decrease in the amount of short- ening, to minimize the greasy charac- ter of the pastry, must be done with caution to prevent undue loss of a true pastry richness and texture," Mr. Harvey warns, 'Bakery experience indicates that a fat of firm texture is superior to a soft fat for pastry short- ening. Lard has not become import- ant as a cake shortening because of its deficient creaming and emulsifying properties, although it has been used with butter."

When Prof. Albert Von Szent- Gyorgyi's wife served him a dish he couldn't eat, he analyzed it and dis- covered something he had been seek- ing a long time--an economical meth- od of producing ascorbic acid, vita- min "C" to the uninitiated. The dish, Albert Szekely of Szeged, Hungary's second largest city, dis- closed in an interview at Montreal last week, was highly flavored with paprika, too highly flavored, in fact. Szekely, president of the Hungarian Paprika Erport Company, was there with Canadian and United States' or- ders for 7,000,000 pounds of the spice. Announced Isolation In 1934 "Prof. Von Szent-Gyorgyi of the University of Szeged," explained Szekely, "first outlined his identifica- tion and isolation of vitamin "C" be- fore the British Association for the Advancement of Science at Aberdeen in 1934. "The professor had noticed the re- lation between the scurvy-preventing propensities of vegetables and fruits on the one hand and the adrenal glands of man and animals om the other.

He took it to his laboratory instead and from it produced, of al things, vitamin 'C'. What is more, its production from 'capsicum anuum' (Hungarian pap- rika) is cheap and efficient. It can be readily administered intravenously and is useful in curing puerpural hem- orrhages, nephritis, certain non-in- heritable forms of haemophilia, pyor- rhea and Addison's disease." Prof. Von Szent-Gyorgyi won the 1937 Nobel prie for physiology and medicine. London Firm Hires Sub-normal Girls Are Better on Monotonous Jobs Than Their More Intelligent Sisters Secondary school girls and well- educated girls are not so good at monotonous jobs as girls of sub-nor- mal intelligence.
