A Page of Interest to Women Promenade Deck . . by Ishbel Ross fc Synopsis A luxurioui five-month cruUe tround the world aboard the "Marenia" brings together â-  (roup of passengers for adven- tures, romantic, entertaining . . . and tragic . . . Like in "Grand Ho- tel" these passengers offer a study in human actions and reactions which unconsciously bare their louls. . . . These characters are aboard the ship: Macduff, dour Scotchman, single, of middle age; Miss Mudge, school teacher, spend- ing the savings of 20 years; An- gela, faithful wife of Lovat, gig- olo; Dick Charlton, Tirst officer; Clare, a person of experience; Joan, a dissipated flapper; Jen- ny, run-away wife, and Peter; Captain Baring, master of the ship . . . and his soul. No, go on with the story. Still Awake PatteriiiK down ihc atljoiiiiiiK al- ley, the stpwaid too old for any duty al sea but that of night watch- man, arrived at Jenny' .slaleroom, which was next to Macduff's. He naw a ribbon of light under her dnor and assumed that she was still awake. He knocked, and a faint voice answered. "Come in." â- "Sorry to disturb you, madam. I have orders to close the deadlight. Captain's orders, madam." "Leave it as it is now, steward," Bhc said. ''I sliall ring for you lat- er. My head is splittinK and I must have air." Harry stood at t!ie door, wonder- ing what he should do. "It's cap- tain's orders, madam." he repeat- ed. It's a bad night and the water will come in." Jenny's voice was imperative. "Leave it to me. I shall ring in a little while." The old man went grnnting off. He had plenty of others to attend to, and he supposed the lady knew what she was about. Senseless of bPr, though. Ho shuffled down the next alley: no doubt she would ring. Soon he liad forgotten her ex- iBtencp. CH.Xl'TEK XVllI The storm was now at its peak. Jenny could see the green-black mountains racing past with squirm- ing foam-crests. In her ears were thundering cries of anguish â€" the requiem of the sea. She dashed across the cabin and slapped her bands in aimless frenzy against the panels. "He couldn't, he couldn't, he couldn't!" she screamed, but her voice was a whisper In the mad crescendo of the gale. She must be g^ing mad. Hut the water would wash the fever from her brain, it would lap her in peace and security. She reached the porthole, was standing below it. She stretched np her arms and the tips of Iter fin- gers touched the rim. finding it to be cold and wet. He; eajs were fil- led with the roar of the sea. Noth- ing must slop her now. At last she worked her slender shoulders out through the rim of the porthole. Turning liei' head, she saw that the deadlights nnist all be down, for the iihip was as dark as a wliale. She was workinj,' with frenzy now, and pushing her slim body farther :ui(I farther out. Tlie waves daslied into her face, stinging her to a sharp I found sweetening my morning cereal with fEE HIVE Syrup aids digestion.^ 'm^HZ TRY IT -^TOMORROW iMue No. 33â€" '38 _ knowledge lliat she was close to death, beyond aid aiul love. Her only fear was that they might push her back. She dreaded tlie mom- ents of quiet, the lull between the waves, when her thoughts washed back to the life she was leaving. One arm reached into the night and the water raced through her fin- gers. It was black and icy-cold. The water w;is a void from which one plunged into light. Slowly she was worming lier way through the black circle â€" her breast, and now her waist. If only hcu- hips would slip through the poithole! Jenny's head swooped down toward the water. .â- \ thousand echoes thundered in her ears and her thoughts were splintered to fragments. Ilcr baby would never know her â€" better that she would die. Peter would never love her â€" better that she should. Through the Porthole With one last tu^ she pulled her- self clear. Tliere was a tiny splash. A huge wave roared along the side i)f the ship, and, finding an open porthole, rushed in. Two peach slippers road like boats for a split second, and tlieii, as the water ed- died with the lurching of the Mar- enia, were stranded limply in a corner. .Macduff, restless in the adjoinin;; cabin, heard a metallic click during a moment's lull, the crash of a sli|ip-;- lieel against the partition. .â- \ngela found a letter from Lovat waiting for her at Peking. My dear Angela (he wrote): A great many things have happened since you left, and I'm afraid I am going to hurt you a great deal with what I have to say. You must have lealized for ages that things could not continue the way they have been between us. I had an idea, when you started off on this trip, that the situation might right it- self, but I've fallen in love, and not a passing fancy this tinn'. 1 shall furnisli evidence when you return, if you feel you want to di- vorce me, Angela, and, of course, 1 shall make it all as easy as iws- sible. I want you to believe that our love, while it lasted, was some- thing separate, apart and wonder- ful: and that I have never known a woman I admired as much as you. 13ut I'm afraid I should continue to hurt you, and things would only get worse, as you must realize. 1 fvould not bear your reproachful eyes at Cairo, although you said so little. Wouldn't it be better if we went our separate ways'/ I have al- ready left your home and am living at my club. Jock is with me, but I shall return him as soon as you get back. Forgive me.

Gone From Her Life The letter diopped from Angela's hand and she stared after it as it fell. She had feared it iill along. Of course, she would let him liave his divorce â€" Ihougli it would be very beastly â€" all of it: The tears went sliding down Angela's cheeks. She had not thought that he would slip loniplelely out of her life as soon as she turned her back. There now would he no use opposing him, and why try to hold him when he had already passed from Iter life? She took out her writing things and sal down to reply In his let- ter. Darling l,u\.ii : I waited and waited tor ,i letter, and then when I got to Peking I learned that there wasn't anything more to look forward to. Of course, you shall have your divorce. I Bhoulil not dream of standing in your way. Make any arrangements you like and as soon as 1 get back I shall talk things over with you. I hop(! you're sure you love the Rirl, l-ovat. I'm going out to look for the bracelet lonlKht. It will be my wedding gift to your new bride, and I hope you will both be happy, 1 blame myself for marrying you, ever; but I love you still, and al- ways shall, I'm afraid. Angela.

Hut we were gay in the spring and all summer long. We're glad, however, that color will be worn during the autumn and winter. Color helps to uplift spirits, which may bo depressed by too much black, even though black is always smart. Not One Black Costume A fashion show was staged re- cently â€" all coals and suits â€" and not one black model among them! A red rust was a favorite shade. Wine and grape are receiving a good deal of attention, and following them are "purple plum," deep laurel green, slate blue and brown. Coats are seen in both fitted and straight models, the fitted models having quite full skirts. England's 49,429 police consta- bles now have an average beat of 611 acres with 654 inhabitants.

'I'm going on an expedition to- night, Mafdiiff. and I'd like you to come with me." "Wliere?" ''I've been commissioned to buy a jade bracelet," she explained In a light tone.

(To He Continued) <€ For the Perfect Sandwich » Lord Sandwich had no intention of upsetting the world's party menus when he first ordered his roast beef between two slices of bread. The combination was so good that it became popular and has been ever since. But even in the eighteenth century it was recognized that the filling had to be moist and flavoursome, the bread firm and fresh, to make a perfect sandwich. For home parties and picnics the hostess has to make her sand- wiches hours ahead and worry about ways of. keeping sandwiches fresh till time of eating. The new quick-cooking tapioca will work miracles for them. Xo need to get the bread limp by having the filling soak into it for hours while the sandwiches are rolled in pa- per or damp cloth. This tapioca holds the moisture in sandwich fillings and yet does not in any way interfere with the flavour of those clever appetizing combinations that everyone likes. The tapioca helps to make chick- en, fish, or cheese, go a long way too. SANDWICH FILLINGS To prepare sandwich fillings, place liquid in top of double boiler and bring to a boil over direct heat. Combine quick-cooking tap- ioca and dry seasonings, add gradually to liquid and bring to a brisk boil, stirring constantly. Place immediately over rapidly boiling water and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from boiling water. Combine remain- ing ingredients in order given; add to tapioca mi.\ture and blend. Cool â€" mixture thickens as it cools. CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH FILLING 1 cup chicken stock 3 tablespoons quick-cooking tap- ioca 1 teaspoon salt '/4 tea?poon pepper % teaspoon paprika 1 cup chopped chicken ^A cup celery, finely chopped 2 tablespoons sweet pickles, chopped 1 tablespoon pimento, finely chopped 1 tablespoon vinegar '/4 cup mayonnaise Makes 2 cups filling.

NIPPY CHEESE SANDWICH FILLING 2 cups strained canned toma- toes (juice and pulp) 2 tablespoons quick-cooking top- ioca % teaspoon pepper '/4 teaspoon dry mustard 2M cups Ci lbs.) grated Cana- dian cheese 1% cups (U lb.) dried or cook- ed beef, ground Vt teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Makes 2% cups filling. Fashion Flashes Dirndls are favorite costumes for young spectators everywhere. Sentence Sermons Crinkled seersucker makes a one-piece suit, which rolls into a ball the size of a kerchief when it's not being worn. A two-piece play suit is of white rayon with tailored jacket blouse worn outside the shorts. There are some large hats this summer but more small in white or gay light colors with frivolous veil, flower or feather trimmings, including considerable ostrich. Fashionable footwear accents high-heeled sandals designed to cover most of the toe and the vamp but open at the sides, with straps joining vamp to heel. Stiebel reports success with full-skirted black chiffon dresses; also with full-skirted printed crepe dresses, the last under fitted matching jackct.s. Natural, in linen, is another ri- val (besides prints and pastels) of white for spectator sports styles. Short woollen jackets â€" bolero, waist-length box, and fitted hip- length â€" are worn instead of sep- arate coats, with printed or mono- tone frocks. The vogue for flowered to(|Uos continues, establishing acceptance of formal fashions for summer. God's plans like lilies pure and white unfold; We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart, Time will reveal the calyxes of gold. â€" May Riley Smith. * * • Three men are my friends: He who loves me.

Most students can vecogr.iis 62,- 000 root words and 114,000 "de- rived" words, making a total of 170,000, which seems an extreme- ly extensive vocabulary, especial- ly when we realize that Shakes- peare did not use more than from 15,000 to 20,000 words, and Mil- ton half that number. The highly educated E.-.glish- man uses more than 4,000 differ- ent words to express hinise'f, and most of them rub along excalient- ly on about 400. Our language contains about 400,000 wordi and is the most expressive on earth, but many of them are te:hnical or used only in certain trails aad professions. Tie Up Soap The elusive cake of soap that often turns a shower bath into a game of hide-and-seek can hs kept in plain sight by a length of thick cotton cording, the kind dre.ss- niakers use. Bore a hole in the soap with an ice pick or some such sharp in- strument, and insert a good long piece of the cording. Fasten the ends securely. The soap can then be worn necklace-fashion while you are doing your lathering, and anchored onto the faucets v.'hile you are rinsing off the suds. HlM*».
