NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. For some one who never ppokc to a soul, Macduff had extensive knowh'dKC of his fellow passen- Rers. He spotted many things they did not know about one another â€" that was one of the advantages of siltintr back and holding one's tongue- Life would be simple for a great many people if only there were less talk. Macduff downed his fourth and rose in a mellow mood to cat his luncheon, .^s chance would have it, there wasn't a vacant chair in the place, except across from Mrs. Wynant. Well, he could stand looking at her. He sat down and reached for the menu. Luncheon Encounter "Good-morninfr, Mr. Macduff. Have you been on the river?" Anpcia enquired, turning her dark ryes full on his face. Macduff had never had any trouble in be- ing rude, and had cut more cor- dial advances than this, but the four Tnion Jacks wei'c behind him, the sun was bright, and he liked the way that Angehi did her hair. He thought he would un- bend. "No," he said. "I suppose you've seen it be- fore and then it doesn't matter. 1 took Patty Arundel with me, and it made her ill. HyKicne, you know. They teach the American youn^r that cleanliness is far ahead of Eodliness." Macduff looked suspiciously at AnKfla. Was she, by any chance, r''-.!<injj fun of him? But no, her fftf6 was kind and open. "It's a pity your husband touldn't make the entire trip." "Heavens!" thouRht -Angela, "the man's a boor'." A shadow darkened her face. "Yes, I'm very Forry," she said. "He couldn't get away for so lonp. Of course, when one is a writer it doesn't matter where one is â€" work can go on. Are you writing, Mr. Macduff?" "Xo," said Macduff, .shortly. "I never combine my business with pleasure." ,NVi^H£m% D<ft. WL27I llrlncfl rlrtn. qu^ck. â- â- r* RKi codhlng u-rilf^ to tBT h"Mif •nywbere. Bumrrt IlKlit InMtDlly, trfiilila Ilk* dtf •*•.

Here was a woman who might be worth her salt. .She ehalted about the Ganges, and gave him a lively picture of hi-r own impressions that morning. Yes. she was an artist. He could tell that from her choice of words. When .Macduff was wrlliuK, he bothered little with externals, gcn'ng in for sombre, iilillosophlcal stuff that some people seemffl to like. It â- urprlsed liim to see India through the sapient eyes of an inlelligpnt woman. Soon he was talking him- â- telf, and marvelling at his own fluency.

She lit a <lgarette and watched him from un- der the brim of h«'r hat. 11 must be the cocktails. He was off like an orator. There was nothing to do but listen, now that the floodgates were open. But would he ever come to the cud of his soliloquy? Was he talking sense or nonsense? Angela realized that the man was simply unused to voicing his thoughts, al- though verbose, no doubt, on p.iper. She had heard vaguely of his books, but had never read anylhins that he had written. After this, she would try to get hold of them and see what they were like. It's A Miracle The other people in the room who knew them were watching their table with surprise. "Ye godsl" said Johnny to Clare. "Watch .Macduff talking to Mrs. Wynant." "It's a miracle, rd like to know what he's saying. It would be .Mrs. Wynant who would get him to talk." "Won't you come with me to the river, Mr. Macduff?" Angela was saying, at the lirst break in their conversation. "I can't keep away. It's the most animated canvas I've ever seen in my life and I'm rather keen about masses of people." 'Thai's just where you're differ- ent from nie," said Macduff, weigh- ing his decision on whether to go with Angela or stay for a lieiueur. "No, I won't. There's nothing I dis- like so much as human beings, and I lind it dopiessing to look at such thousands mucking about togeth- er." They went out to tin? veranda and he ordered liqueurs. Angela watch- ed hini, wondering if perl'ecl frank- ness were not tlie cue in handling Macduff. She leaned towards him. "You're rather a myth on the boat," she laughed, "the man who must not be spoken to." A deep roll of laughter shot sur- prisingly from his throat. ''It's not on the boat alone â€" it's the way 1 live. I find that human contacts interfere with one's work and one's life." "Then I can't understand why you travel around the world on a cruising boal. To escape from peo- ple on the Marenia is like trying to dodge bees in a hive.'' "I came on a cruising boat be- cause It takes me to out-of-the-way ports I'd never have been able to get to by any other means. More- over, I've found all the isolation that I would get at home â€" at the least possible expense," Macduff fin- ished, cannily. Angela sighed and swung her parasol. "Sometimes I think one would be happier alone, in a world of one's own. The constant give and take of social relations wear one down." Macduff's face was loosening in amiable lines, and she thought she detected a twinkle through his rim- less spectacles. Or was It just the sun on the lens? "I'm thinking that you're not very happy, " he told her, surprisingly, "Happy enough, Mr. Macduff, but wandering in my thoughts. To tell you the truth, they're in England with my husband and my home." "Tell me about your home." "I've never been able to conjure it up for anyone else, although It's so vivid in my own mind. It's a rambling house with gables, fright- fully ancient, with bits that have been added on from time to time. The ceilings are low and beamed, and the dormer windows are tucked â-  In odd places under the eaves. It's filled with pictures, ancient and modern, and my dog Jock patters all over it like a presiding Turk." Angela stopped abruptly, thinking that she had been laTklng In tact and reserve. "Do you live In New Ycuk, Mr. Macduff?" "Yes. Have you ever been there?" "Five years ago I visited It for a few weeks. I love It, the excite- ment, the tearing hurry, the airâ€" such air! Hut to live In It how does one manage that?" ''! don't see how you lan dwell among such glorious skysciapers and feel that life Is quiet and slow. Life can't be slow in a soaring (It), I think I should live on wings If New York were my home." "It's all tosh, the things people think of New York. It's the best possible city for work, because It's one of the few places in the world where you are let alone If you want to be. I can work better there than anywhere under the sun." (TO HK CONTINUED) Slumber Clears Up Complexion There Is No Better Beauty Treatment for Tired Skin Than Deep, Restful Sleep If your face lacks that alive, rested look and your skin seems to have aRcd ten years in two or three weeks, try the simple sleep treatment before any other. Resolve to go to bed every night at least half an hour before the time that you know you must fall a.slcep if you arc to get your nine hours. If you are even faint- ly given to insomnia, better not read anything that makes you think or worry. Save your serious reading matter for later. This is your week to sleep soundly and long, and conseciucntly to lift about five years from your face. Do a few limbering and stretch- ing exercises to take the kinks out of your neck and then take a bath in water at body temperature before you go to bed. Clean face and throat carefully (incidental- ly, unless your skin is ultra sensi- tive, scrub with a complexion brush) and smooth on your rich- est night cream. Your bed should be neither too hard nor too soft. The bottom sheet ought to be perfectly smooth. If you sleep on your back, try to get along without a pillow. Otherwise, use a small one. And two light blankets are much better than one fairly heavy quilt.

She can buy a cherry pie around the corner and it will be so good that even Billy Boy wouldn't know she hadn't made It. But there Is one thing she must be able to make and that is cherry jelly. There is no substitute for home-made Jelly and Billy Boys all over the country will be disappointed If win- ter comes and there Is no cherry Jelly sitting among the other jams and Jellies in the cupboard. Of course In the days wLen the song was first sung, It would have been almost impossible for her to make cherry jelly because that was a good many years ago and bottled fruit pectin had not been invented. Modern housekeepers have the ad- vantage of this jellying substance which makes It possible to convert any fresh fruit into delicious jelly of â- ' - right texture. Half an hour is all the time that is needed to make the fresh red fruit into jelly ready for bottling. The short boil method which we give you here, helps to preserve all the flavour whicli belong to fresh cherries.

L Techniques Of Stain Removal Careful Handling Banishes Dis- figuring Marks; Look Over Clothes Before They Are Washed , "It will all come out in the wash." Everyone knows the old, old saying, but mothers of lively fam- ilies know they can't depend on it â€" not 100 per cent. â€" when it comes to grass stains, fruit juice stains and similar laundry ills. Most of these disfiguring marks can be removed if the right pro- cess is followed. It should be done, though, before the clothes go into the regular wash. If you set to work to remove a grass stain while it's fresh it may usually be done with soap and water. If it is a day or more old, sponging with denatured alcohol usually is effective. Unwashable materials, of course, should be given the alcohol treatment. Ice Cream on Clothes Ice cream and frosted drink stains are common in the summer months. These need two treat- ments before they will disappear. They are usually caused by a combination of sugar, cream and fruit juice coloring. First of all, the cream must be treated with a grease solvent, such as carbon tetrachloride. Then, if the fruit juice is deepseated, pour boiling water through the spot. If the color left is very faint, washing in soap and warm water will re- move it. Tea and coffee s'.ains, as well as fruit stains, may be removed before laundering by pouring boiling water through the spot. After laundering these stains, too, must be given the bleaching treatment. Of course if you at- tempt to remove stains from col- ored fabrics with a bleach the col- or will come out also. Lipstick comes out with ordinary launder- ing. Woman Spends Year Looking Into Mirror During Her Lifetime, Expert Figures â€" Average Girl Uses Up 45 Minutes A Day. The average woman spends a year of her life in front of the mir- ror, an expert employed by a Brit- ish cosmetic firm estimates. In the morning, he explains, the average girl spends at least a quar- ter of an hour in front of her mir- ror, coilibing her hair, creaming and powdering her face. Before she gets into bed she usu- ally spends longer, creaming her face again and brushing her hair, say 20 minutes. To this he adds another 10 min- utes for the constant glances girls make at a mirror in the daytime. That totals up to three-quarters of an hour a day, or about 12 days a year. ^ ..OLOt- CORHSYRlI TRY IT ^ TOMORROW Formulate New Table Manners Chicago Chefs Get Together And Draw up A New Code of Etiquette Chicago, which gave the world "gangsters," is out to make fur- ther contributions to civilization. For instance, table manr.ers, Chi- cago has decided, need bringing' up to date. And so we learn that a group of Chicago chef.i, who call themselves "Les amis d'Escof- fier," issued a "book of rules" when they gave a banquet in hon- our of the late Auguste Escoffier, the famous chef. One of these rules stated that table napkins should be tucked un- der the chin. But that was all the tucking allowed, for another rule decreed that any guest who "tucked in" too much food must leave the table. Here are the rest of the rules: Dinner to start promptly at 9 p.m., late guests to be served with the course being eaten at their arrival; \ No place of honour; No name cards; No shop talk and no discussion of politics or religion; No "nursing" of wines, but each to be removed after its ap- propriate course; No cocktails containing spirits before dinner; No speeches; Diners must strive for "witty repartee." Buy Best Quality For Good Service Since towels are required to stand much hard wear and fre- quent laundcrings, it's real econ- omy to buy best' »iunlity. When purchasing Turkish towels, look for merchandise that has a firm, tigh:ly woven selvage and smooth, well-finished hems; the basic weave should be close and firm; the pile soft, thick and even. Never iron Turkish towels; wrinkles will shake out. Loose ends or uneven threads shouM be clipped off evenly, never pulled. Hundreds of thousands of peo- ple follow the big races over the radio in the British Isles, pre- ferring to sit home in comfort by their n'.dios rather than he jostled about by an excited crowd. t >â-  V 'f r V V V V V * . 1 » â- -. ^
