Promenade Deck . n \>y IsKbel Ross SYNOPSIS: ... A luxurious five- month cruise- around the world aboard the "Marenia" brings touethe- a group of passengers for adventures, romantic, entertaining and tragic . . . Like in "Grand Hotel" these passengers offer a study in hu- man actions and reactions which un- conscioucly bare their souls. . . . These characters are aboard the ship. Macduff, dour Scotchman, single, of middle age; Mice f.' dge, school teach- er, spending the savings of 20 years; Angela, faithful To of Lovat, gigolo; Dick Charlton, first officer; Clare, a person of experience; Joan, a dissipat- ed flapper: Jenny, run-away wife, and Peter; Captain Baring, master of the ship . . . and his soul. . . , CHAPTER VII Tho Red Sva stretched like a velvet carpet under ii sky studded with stars. "Venus!" said Jenny, looking upwards. "I always know it because of Its iranslucence, and it seems so much closer to the earth than the others. 1 used to watch it over the river at Little Oaks, and now I'm seeing it near Aden with you!" She clung to .e rail, her figure en- veloped in a dim blue haze. She lis- tened to the s ish of the boat througli the water, and watched its trail of foam. The funnels r:;.se like black towers, pgu.ring a stream o£ smc>' ; into the night. It was hot in a smooth .- ' milky way. She threw off her wrap and clutched at her throat. Piter slid his hai)d along the rail a-l caught her fingers. "Strange, isn't it?" Jenny whisper- ed. â- 'Why strange?" •'I feel as if we're all alone in the night and very far from everyone. I'm rather afraid." â- 'Afraid of what?" She .vhuddered and pressed close to his side. There were moments when one was alone in all the universe, when there was no aid, no commun- ion, anywhere, but how could one con- vey this sense of isolation, even to the man one loved? She sank to a deck chair and lay looking up at the stars. For an hour they seemed to be racing through foam under a canopy that reached to infinity. "What a fine sense of exhilaration one gets on the top deck!" said Peter turning from the rail to look at the â- ilent Jenny. "But I wish we were having a roaring storm; this is so tame. I like the fury of the sea. â- Jfou've nev^r been in a real storm, haye you, Jenny?" ^0, ftr-Vff I TTonder if I should mind." "I think you wouldn't IJke it, for you're not attuned to wlldness. "V'our mind and your body are passive." H« bent over her till her hair drift- |d across his mouth with a sharp fragrance. Her face was part of the night. For a moment he thought her a perfeci stranger â€" so shadowy and remote! "What did she dream of all the time? Why could he never reach the core of Jenny's thoughts? Why did she shut him out? lie looked down the dim corridors of the future ECZEMA Misery Banished By One Bottle Mrs. X of Toronto, Ont., writes:. ..e«e- ma broke out on my neck . . .druggist ad- tiscd liel-Zenta . . . used one bottle . . . got immediate relief."'

Half of the time he was furced to comfort and reassure her, •lud she paid lor a moment of rapture with hours of futile regret. She turned to him suddenly, her voice edged with palij. "You're think- ing of the future, aren't you, Peter?" 'I was thinking of you.'! "I knowâ€" the two of us together. Mow do you think It will be â€" after- wards, when all this l.s over?"

' Clare and Johnny went pacing by. Peter turned his head to watch the sweep of the figure in violet chiffon. Her shoulders swayed as she moved; she held her chin like a bird in flight. He was now abstracted, puffing at his cigarette. Jenny's voice was crossing his thoughts. "I'm hypnotized by the sea, Peter. It's like a song in my heart, rhythmic and never-ending. Ivook at the qtieer glow on the horizon!" "You never know what you are go- ing to encounter in Ihi.s region. I've .â- iccn the Kcrl ."^ea chtirned like a mass of foaming devils, and again as calm as a pane of glass. But it's not a patch on the China Sea, which is al- ways an ugly sight." They went down to their stateroom. and Jenny emerged slowly from her taffeta. "You make me think of a while pe- ony," said Peter, as her ruffled frock fell to her feet, "so pale, so dreamy, so fragile, as if each petal would drop off with a breath." He kissed her neck and behind her ears; he ran his fin- gers down to her slender wrists. "And your skin is as soft as a peony petal, and your eyes are as blue as the sea at noonday, and I love you very much!" Off On A Mountain-top He caught her in his arms and Jen- ny's head dropped against his chest with fluttering eagerness. He kissed her throat and the blue lids of her eyes and then her mouth. The colour stirred slowly in her creamy cheeks and her lips grew scarlet and full. "Peter, I adore you," she whispereil, dragging herself from a deep abyss to meet his love with her own pale ar- dour. "But, my dear, you're so far away." Peter's lips were against her mouth. "It's like calling a ghost back to my embrace. I feel, when I possess you, that you're perched on a distant moun- tain, looking on. Darling, wake up! Love me as I love you." Jenny heard his words in a dream. Why did he bother to talk? It was true what he was saying â€" she was re- mote, alone on a niountaiutop. She could see the bluish line of his lialf- close<l eyes, and his hair damp on his brow. Why did she feel so soothed instead of the stinging pain of love? She was drifting now on calm waters. It seemed as If she were back in the dhoby on the Xile, and she felt tliat she must be swooning. "Jenny! Jenny darling! Where are you? Oh, my love!" Peter was calling to her from a long distance, pain in his voice. She could hear the swish of the water out- side the porthole. The light of the moon lay wan on the floor of their stateroom. Jenny's eyelids lifted. She was back from the distant places and was holding Pi'Icr in her arms. How- she adored him! He was breathing gcnily and dropjiing oft to sleep. She stroked his f.ire like a mother with a child. "Jenny darling!" ho murmured through sleepy lijjs. She lay in a trance, hour after I our, her eyes li.ved on the pencil of moonlight that pierced the porthole.

This Is the constant factor which fal- sifies his judgment and makes himâ€" whatever his hatred of war, and I be- lieve it to be as strong as the French or Knglish â€" a pliable instrument In the hands of those who govern him. Italy's recent war, the coiitiuest of Elthiopia and the intervention in Spain, are presented to this ordinary Italian citizen as furs of defense. "China Attacked Japan" Italy was forced to fight in Etliiopia because the Abyssians attacked her; she was forced to fight in Spain be- cause the "Reds" attacked the Fascist principle and endangered the future of Italy's security. (This is exactly paralleled in Japan where even edu- cated opinion holds that Japan was attacked by China and forced to fight the present war there.) In the average Italian mind is the idea that Italy really is much more powerful than she really I.s. Non-Ita- lians find this almost inconceivable, but it is the fact that many Italians believe they have intimidated England and France in a military sense, that the great powers are afraid of Italy. Believe They're Tops The hard facts of the Italian eco- nomy (no coal, no steel, no gold, no cotton, no rubber, nothing to make war with except what is bought from abroad) have been obscured by all this hubbub over Italian victories in Abys- sinia aiul Spain, :o that quite sensible Italians have now come to regard their country as the leading military em- pire of Europe, and their dictator as a man practically irresistible.

Fresh fruits, green vegetab- les and salads will have more table appeal but by. themselves will ijot provide the balanced nutrition for an active family. That is when the housewife will bless the fact that eggs cost less in the sumnier time. -And early summer eggs are the best, from the standpoint of flavor, of the year. A few eggs can add more assort- ed calories, vitamins, to say nothing of calcium and phosphorus to a meal with less appearance of extra bulk than almost any other food found on the i)anti-y shelf. That is where the cook will find them invaliJable, es- pecially when prepaiing meals for children with fussy appetities, under- weight youngsters or invalids of any age. Eggs go into custards, puddings, sauces and salad dressings and a dozen other items where they will never be suspected, as well as served proudly by themselves or in some novel combination with other foods. Two weeks ago we gave you some egg recipes which were suitable for the general family diet. Here are some that are adapted especially for use in feeding finickey children, adults or convalescents. Boiled Custard Slightly beat 2 eggs with 4 table- spoons sugar and pinch of salt. Grad- ually stir in 2 cups hot milk. Cook over boiling water until mixture coats a metal spoon, stirring contin- uously. Add '/i teaspoon vanilla or other desired seasoning. Pour into sherbet glasses and chill. For sum- mer meals and those whose diets al- low it, fresh or stewed fruit can be served with this custard. Baked Custard Add Va. teaspoon salt, 4 table- spoons sugar and Vi teaspoon van- illa to 4 slightly beaten eggs. Add 1 quart milk and mix well. Pcur into custard cups or baking dish. Dust top with cinnamon or nutmeg. Place dish in pan of hot water and bake in moderate oven until firm, 25-30 min- utes. If knife inserted in centre of custard comes out clean, it is cooked. This gala Chocolate Bread Pud- ding should do wonders to restore the interest of the invalid to food. Chocolate Brei J Pudding Cut c'-usts from (J slices of bread. Butter bi-'al liberally and cut into cubes. Mi : with Vz cup broken nut meats. Put in baking dish. Add 2 squares chocolate, grated, to 4 cups milk and heat until chocolate is melted. Add to it ',2 cup sugar, \k teaspoon vanilla, U teaspoon salt. Pour over 4 well-beaten eggs, stir- ring. Pour liquid into baking dish. Place dish in pan of hot water. Bake in moderate oven until firm. Place quarters of marshmallows on top and run under broiler until they brown. When the youngster who needs milk simply refuses to drink it, thereby upsetting an otherwise peace- ful home, don't wear yourself out coaxing and scolding â€" try one of these delightful egg nogs which many adults will enjoy too. Egg Nog No. 1 Beat 1 egg with 2 teaspoons sugar, and a dash of salt until thoroughly blended. .Add ?i cup milk and mix well. Strain. Flavor with grated r.utmeg or cinnamon, or vanilla ex- tract. Part cream may be used in- stead of all milk if desired. Egg Nog No. 2 Beat yolk of egg with 2 teaspoftns sugar and a -peek of salt until creamy. Add •'Ji cup milk and flav- oring as suggested above. .Mix well. Whip white until foamy but not dry and fold in lightly, saving a tea- spoonful to make "puff" on top of drink. The extra frill on the top of the glass will make it doubly attrac- tive to the younger generation. Chocolate Egg Nog Boat 1 egg with 1 teaspoon of sugar and speck of salt. Add 2/3 luj) milk and 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup. Mix well and serve very cold. Chocolate Syrup 4 or 5 squares unsweetened choc- olate 1 cup sugar 2/3 cup hot water 2 egg yolks, slightly beaten.

Open-Toe Shoe Here to Stay Feet Get Better Care as They Come More Into View NEW YORK â€" The advice is to put your best foot forward means some- thing these days. Time was when feet were scarcely mentioned in polite society, and they never appeared unclothed, even on the bathing beach. Ladies wore stockings even when they went swimming. High shoes were the vogue, too, the shoes that laced or buttoned well up the leg, and slippers were worn only for evening wear or in the boudoir. Conservative Women Adopt It Feet have come a long way since then. Dancers dance in bare feet, and bathing beauties parade around in bare tootsies in the soft sand; and even the best dressed feet poke out at toes and heels and are well aired at the side's. For times have changed. Bedroom windows have been thrown open so that we may breathe fresh air while we sleep. And sun and air have been found to be beneficial for every part of the human body â€" and that includes the feet. Open toed shoes were just a "crazy fad" of those people who go in for ex- tremes in every kind of wear. But now the most conservative women are ad- opting the style, and toes are out In the world for certain. This fad has called attention to the feet, so that our pedal extremities are given much better care than they ever before received, and they have bene- fited by it. Feet, after all, are import- ant parts of our anatomies. Fashions That Flatter Mother More Attention In the Style World Is Being Paid to Costumes Suit- able for the Older Woman. Mother's clothes are getting â-  - i:e rtteutiou in the fashion world this year. -N'ew coats, fashioned especial- ly for her of soft black and navy blue wool, are cut on loose boxed lines which slenderize a heavy figure, and are finished with simple necklines, softly '"air':::; the face. Mother's frocks are made of new prints or sheer dark crepes lightened with a touch of white or color and are 'iften topped by a cape or a short boxed coat t( match.

Choose what V--imea you. 3. Wear clothes designed on soft, easy-fitting :' es. Don't let your skirt be too short or too narrow or too tight at the hips. 4 Select dresses that conceal the under-ar mbulge and soften a waist- line no longer slender. Wear narrow beltr. 5. Lighten black and navy blue with touches of white. Wine, grey, deep blues, greens, -white and soft light hats --re rlso good colors for you. 6.
