4 Orange Pekoe Blend "SALADA TEA THt GHDOM <»>< >LMA Sioux ScAR-fttaRY CHAPTER I Marlborough Jones stood in front of the radio doing his morn- ing setting up exercises. No one â- watching him would have said hia heart was in his work. But hia Mother, bustling in from the kit- chen where she had been pressing a dress, paused to remark worried- ly: ".Marlborough, don't overdo it now. Exercise is all right, but it tiiusl le taken lightly. You don't want to get an athletic heart. Easy now, dear." "Okay, Mom." Marlborough promply gave it up and sat down in the big easy chair. Mamma Jones shook her head. "You're a dear boy, Junior, and a great comfort to your mother. But don't you think we'd better say 'All light. Mother,' next time?" Junior smiled good-naturedly. "Sure, I guess I'm just a rough- neck, mother." "Don't say that about yourself even in jest," Mrs. Jones reproved him seriously. "You are the most perfect gentleman in this town, Marlio, and I don't care who hears me say it. What other mother do you know who could go away for a week and trust her eighteen- year-old son alone in the house and just KNOW he is obeying her every wish as though she were there?" "Don't Be Too Sure" "But, Mother," Marlborough re- minded her, "You've never left me alone before. Don't be too sure. When the old cat's away, the mice play." Mrs. Jones patted him affection- ately. "Don't tease your mother now, Marlborough. You might get me all worried. Then I'm sure 1 .ihouidn't be able to make a pro- per speech at the convention. Dear me, I must hurry I The train is due in an hour. Come up and help me close my bag, darling." Marlie rose and stifled a yawn. His mother bustled ahead of him, talking over her shoulder. "Remember now, Marlborough, Se^^yw Tlie Secrets Good Looks l^oKWhtt. A^mtv. HAVE YOU A DRY SKIN? There are uaiiirul oils in the skiu which should, normally, sup- ply the moisture that our skins require. Uuhapplly, our climate is excessively dry, and gives most of US a dry skfn. This Is more prone to wrinkle, so we must provide au antidote. Give yourself a fortnightly face mask. Make a butler-muslin mask o^ two thicknesses, wlih strings to tie round head and neck and holes for eyes and nose. Then mix equal quantities of almond and mineral oils together, and lieat. Now mix six drops of tincture of benzoin with four drams of toilet itrater and mix tliis in with the oil. Cleanse your faco with cleansing cream, remove It thoroughly then â- mear the oil all over face and the neck with your finger-dps. . Next dip the mask in tlic oil and cover your face with it. I.le down, leaving the mask on as long as is possible. When taking il off, wipe aWay the surplus oil with tissues, then with cotton-woul pads dipped in astringent. Women wiili a dry iskin should keep imroarnlale. Wash at least twice a day with Talniolive soap because this lubricates the skin with essenlial oils. Rinse well with cold water. At night, massage thor- oughly with a rich tissue (ream and leave it on nrernight. Write to me for confidential per sooal advice.

It's weakening and hard on the nervous systqm. And please be very sure the water in tlie lake is warm enough if you po in swim- ming. Don't go in after a big meal or you might get cramps. Dear me, I am going to worry about you, lambie. You've always had your mother to do everything for you. How are you going to manage ?" "I can remember," Marlie gave her a reassurmg pat. "It isn't as though I hadn't done the same things every day for eighteen years. They're habit now, moth- cd. I'd just do them automatic- ally, like a robot. Mrs. Jones had to stand on tip- toe to kiss her only oflfspving. She did so, tearfully. "I know, my precious. But I'm going to ask Judy to run in every day and straighten up a little bit for you; make your bed and dust. I'm sure she'd be glad to do it." Marlie showed his first sign of disapproval. "Oh, now Mother, don't bother Judy. I can do il myself. I'll be all right." "Well. Judy can come over and sort of inspect for you then. "You've never made a bed in your life, Junior." She smiled with affectionate amusement. "I'd just like to see the house after you'd taken care of it for a week!" From long force of habit, Marl- borough let the matter drop, with an inward sigh. But he didn't like to have Judy Miller coming in and cleaning up the house for him when she had to work in her fa- ther's drug store all day and ev- ening. She had enough to do. Relax and Enjoy Yourself Marlie sat on the suitcase and his mother snapped the lock. Mrs. Jones put on her hat, a worried frown between her eyes. "I just hope there isn't some- thing I've forgotten to tell you. Junior. Oh, yes, the hot-water bag is hanging on the door of your closet. -And do watch very care- fully what you eat, won't you?" "Yes, mother." He picked up the suitcase. "If it's too heavy we'll both carry it." "I can carry it with one finger." "You do look big and strong. Junior. Just like your poor fa- ther. But he wouldn't listen to reason and died before he was forty. That should be a serious lesson to you, dear." "Well, he got pneumonia- â€" --" "I know. But don't forget, I told him not to go out without his scarf and rubbers and he never would wear them. In the majority of cases it's the small people like myself who arc hardy. Don't let a big frame give you the impres- sion you can defy the laws of na- ture and common sense, Marlbor- ough. You are just the type that goes out like a light if he gets sick. Of course I don't mean to alarm you " "Oh, I'm not worried." Marlie had heard the same tiling too many dozens of times to be im- pressed. "But I'l! be careful and do evciything 1 always do, while you're away. You just relax, Mo- tlier, and have a nice vacation." "If you were only going along, dear." Mrs, Jones sounded as though she was going to cry hard before she got as far as the sta- tion. "You know I won't enjoy my.solf away from you." Marlie felt sorry for her, but ho knew if he showed it the storm would break, so he walked out to the car with the suitcase, .saying nothing. Mrs. Jones bustled to the fence. and called softly. "Yoo, hoc! Judy!" Judy raised the dining-room window, and she was near enough to reach out and shake hands with Marlborough's mother. "Oh. you're going, Mr:-. Jones?'' she said in her ladylike; little voice. "I hope you have a lovelv time." "Thank you, Judy." Mrs. Jones smiled bark at her, theii lowered her voice. "But I'm just worried terribly about Marlborough. H^^'a never been alone before. Promise you'll keep an eye on him for me, dear." "I'll do what 1 can." Judy said. Check Up On Him "Just i-ee that he d-iesn't fill himself up full of cold food and get his stomach upset, Judy. I'm afraid he just won't bother to go to the restaurant and eat a proper dinner, as I've told l.ini to. You know how boys are." "Not Marlie," Judy smiled. "He will be all right. But I'll check up on him. Don't you worry." "And I do so hate to trouble you, Judy. But if you could lun in every day and make his bed and dust around a little bit." "That'll be no trouble at nil. Mrs. Jones. It'll just take a few minutes. I'll be very glad to." The older woman's eyes fillel with moisture. "I knew you would, dear, and bless you. I feel so much better having you here to look after Marlborough. If anytliing hap- jiens, heaven forbid! â€" You can reach me at the Tilson Hotel in Cleveland. That's where the con- vention is to be held, and I'm stop- (jirg there too." "All right, Mrs. Jones." Judy made a mental note. "But I'm sure we won't have to bother you." When Judy turned fiom the window her grandmother stood in the door. Slio vvas tall and spare and her iron-grey head wagged with impatience. "So Mamma Jones has turned her annel child over to you to coddle for a week. I hope he at least knows how to get his clothes on without help." "Now, Gram," Judy said sooth- ingly. "Marlie i.sn't a nitwit, even if his mother does seem to give that impression. I'm sure he'll get through the week without wearing us out." "Us!" the grandmother sniffed. "Don't include me on liis nursing .staff. He can starve for all I care. The big ninny!" "He isn't a ninny," Judy de- fended her neighbour. "Not real- ly. He can't help it if his mother fusses over liim like an old mo- ther hen." "If he had an ounce of red blood, he'd stand right up to her." Mrs. Miller yanked the vacuum cleaner out of the closet with a vigor that belied !ier sixty-five years. Her son TIalph looked up from liis newspaper to remark mildly: "Oh, now Mother, Marlie isn't a bad sort. It would be a fine thing if more of tlie young men in Lee- brook would walk in his foot steps. He's going to be a good solid citi- zen." "No doubt," Gram agreed. Then added sourlv, "from the neck up." Judy laughed. "Poor Marlie, liis ears must be burning at all the nice compliments you're paying him, Gram." Kalph Miller laid down his pa- per and got up. "Any young man of eighteen v,'ho lives the decent, self-respect- ing life Marlie does, deserves the commendation and respect of the community. I suppose if he chas- ed around with girls and drank and caroused all night and threw away the money his father ieft him, he'd be all right with you, Mother." "Vastly improved," Gram snap- lied. "It'd show he liad some red corpuscles." "Why, Grandmother!" Judy ^as .shocked. "You wouldn't want a young boy like Marlie to go out and make a tramp out of himself. You're just talking." "There's a heap difference be- tween making a Iramji out of yourself as you choose to call it, and getting a little fun out of life. You're young only once. I wish I had my life to live over again!" "Mother," Kalph Miller said firmly, "That's no way ti, talk be- fore a young girl. But thank good- ness, Judy won't take your seri- ously!" "Don't Trust Grandma" "No, I'm afraid not," Gram .'â- ighed. "I think she and Marl- borough are about tlie same type. It's about time Judy snapped out of it and got herself some beau.s and started having her fling, too. You've got licr Imlldoz.ed just like Mrs. Jones has Marlie. Working day ajid night slinging sodas! No decent clothes " Ualph became highly indignant. "That's not true. Judy is a lady, that's all. If she prefers learning the drug store business to wasting her time running arounil with a wild bunch of young people throwing her life awayâ€"" Judy broke in, amused. "Gracious! Stop it, you two. Your train is due in fifteen min- utes. Father." "Okay. Kitten." Balph Jones shrugged and smiled at his daugh- L(j'. I guess I'll have to ask you to keep an eye on your grand- mother, right along with Marlie Jones. I'm afraid she can't be trusted." (To Be Continued) P'^ns To Interest Women At C.N.E. Urz. il. M.

Oval Neckline \1-;\V YOllK.â€" The way neck- lines 'will go always seems to be a point of interest. The spring points to extremes of high and low, with very little in between. However, the so-well-liked square line of the past seasons seems to be giving way to an "oval" line. This last is noticed in the French things only, to date. As soon as the trend becomes apparent in American-made models, we'll be on hand to let you know.
