Bill llarlli'tt showed them to tho riOKslde seals, 'ighi wliere tho •potligbt Lit them when the music began tu play. An eartbi|uaki> would havo been welcome so far u Marlborough was concerned. With pleasure niinglc^l with an unu«eraent, Tucky wulcheil tbo •tir her walking in with Marlie created. And being kind as welt aii beautiful, she felt a tluRe of pity for ber fluaterrd rompaiiioi:. Not So Clever Well, if Msa thought she was pulling something funny, she would at least not give her the satisfaction of seeing that it both- ered her in atiy way. And Lisa her- self could not shake off a feollng of premonition that she hadn't just been so clever atfer all. Surely, Tucky didn't really think that Marlie was so Interesting. Mike Tulling felt himself in for a largo eveniug of laughs, and he meant to make the tnos-t of it. But when the three-piece orchestra broke into a rhnmba, Lisa jumped up. She couldn't wait to warn him. "If you don't be careful and not give the joke away to Tucky, I'll never go out with you again.' she threatened Mike when they began to dance. *'Oh, sol" ho grinned knowingly. "There is black doin's at the cross- roads." "You shut up!" Lisa said ang- rily. "I'm not pulling anything." •'You am so." Mike held her clos- er. ''And L'ucle Mike se<.'3 all, .'fid hears ail. and knows all, but tc*ls nothing. He thinks you are doing a good turn, my little girl scout. Angel needs a litle fun while his Ma's away. I'll help you." "You just mind your business and leave liini alone, or you'll spoil everything. I thought it was a dirty shame hi.s mother never let him have a goi>d time, and Tucky likes boys who arc musical. So I Just thought of him. That's all." ''Oh, yeah," Mike scuffed. "Angel is the only guy you didn't want for yourself. That's wliy you are so generous with him." Lisa stepped on his foot in a fury. Mike winced, but added, '•! don't biauio you. Ued. She's a de- lectable looking little morsel." Lisa swallowed hard to keep from screaming at him. Tucky waited politely for Marl- borough to ask her to dance. But when she had made i:.p her mind he wasn't going to, she hinted. "I'm just wild about dancin'! Aren't you, Marlie'.'" "I â€" I don't know how," .Marlie told her niisormbly. Tucky looked surprised. "Haven't you ever even tried?" "N-no," .Marlie hesitated. "My mother ilocsn't approve of my go- ing out dancing." "Have A Little Fun" '"Oh, I seo," Tucky said slowly. "That's too bad. It's lots of fun, and I certainly can't see any real harm in it. Can you, Marlie?" "No," he agreed. "But I just ne- ver have, because Mother always wants me at homo. She's away Just now. .She went away this morning and left me for the finit time in my life." Marlie wondered why he had lold Tucky. She put her hand out and suddenly touched the big brown one that lay awkwardly on the red and wiiite checked tatole- cloth, "Well obeying your mother Is nothing to apologize for, Marlie. I guess we'd all be be,tter off It we listened to older people sometimes. But I do think you should go out and have a little fun." ' "Funny thing," Marlborough con- fessed. "I never thought much about it before. Don't tell Lisa ( told you, but I've never beeu in a place like this in my life before. And this is the first date I've ever had in my life." Tucky's e^yes widened. '•No foolin': Well, are you sorry you came?" "Not with you." Marl'jorough grinned boyishly, and the girl de- cided he was very nice. "I think you're pretty swell. I bet all the fellows are Jealous of me." ''There you go swect-talklu' me again." Tucky dimpled archly. But she was pk-ascd as punch. A com- pliment from a boy like Marlie was sincere, and she had senso enough to know other men said a lot of things they didn't really mean. They were silent awhile, watch- ing the dancers. "Teach Me How" "Ooshl" Marlie erdalmcd final- ly, "I'm sorry you have to sit here like a bump on a log because 1 can't dance." "Ob, don't wo.-ry," Tucky fold him generoi «ly. "What's one night in a lifetime? if yon want to learn to dancn tiiough, I'll teach you." "You would;' Marlie r/as sur- prised. "Kure I want to learn. But not hero.'' "Well, you can come over to my Uncle Herbie's any time and take lessons. We can tune la on the radio." "But ll'd bo so much trouP)leI I will probably nevtr bo able to even learn." "Big people ahva.vs dance belter than small ones. You'll be dancing after a couple of lessons." Lisa and .Mike rejoined them. ''Are yoall bavin' a good lime?" She imitated Tucky's Soutiiern dia- lect. ''Sho am, speakin' for inasclf." Tucky smiled sweetly. "Marlie is going to take dancing lessons from me over at Uncle Hef'.)If'.s. .\ren't you, honey-chile?" Mike snorted. ''You got some- thing there. Angel! I think Tucky has found love at first sight." Lisa kicked iiim in the sliiii.s. "I'm so glad," site said untruth- fully, ''you two ae making a hit with each other." "I'm h-ivlng a swell time," .Mar- lie griiined self-consciously. ''But I'm sorry Tucky has to sU out the dan'.es." 'May 1, Miss Louisville?" Mike 'amped i:p gallantly. Real Southern Beauty Tucky held out lier arms. Lisa had a sinking feeling of disaster. Mike Tulling was her favorite beau and she had a dark suspicion that rucky would !ovo to take him away from her, just for spile. Marlborough watched Tucky dancing with Mike and thotight she was the most beautiful and the most graceful girl he hail ever seen in his life. Her blonde curls were pulled back from her lovely little face, and touched her shoulders in back. With her long, sweeping ruffled blue organdio dress she looked like something out of a Civil War mov- ie, Marlie decided. A real Southern beauty. He'd heard much about the charm of the girls from the Blue Grass State, but he'd never known one before. Lisa tapped her foot impatiently •and to save her soul she could not keep her eyes from following the tall blonde girl and lior sandy-hair- ed partne!-.

Mike was so tall and lean, and well-groomed. Tucky so soft and feminine, a per- fect pair for romance. Marlie broke the silence. "Why did you Invito me to come over to your house tonight and to meet Tucky?" he asked suddenly. The question was most unexpect- cii and the red-head hesituled. She smiled mysteriously. "Wouldn't you like to kuow." "I think," Mar'borough straight- ened his tie, "you were playing a joke on m»>." Lisa's green eyes narrowed. But slie bit her tongue nnd tried to sound vc'y friendly. â- â- you'ro crazy. I saw your moth- er at the station and I knew yoii were alone. So I thought you an<l Tucky would be congenial. Yoii are. So why should you think I was trying to bo funny," "Oh, I just got to wondering. Say, don't Tiicky nnd Mike dance well together? I'll bet he'll fall harder'n a ton of bricks for her. All the fellows will. Sho looks llko a movie star, or .something." ''Something," Lisa said grimly. "But slie'.'i too blonde to wear very well." "You're Jealous" She could have kicked herself for saying it. Marlborough raised his eyebrows. ' flush," ho looked wise. ''So that is it. You'ro jealous of her." "You shut up;" Lisa stormed. ''I don't have to be jealous of any yto- man." ''Don't get sore," Marlie grinned. "1 won't tell." Lisa wanted to throw something at him. But ebc had to restrain herself. So far as she was concern- ed, tho evening had turned out tragically. "Lot's go for a ride," she said getting up before Mike and Tucky <!ouId seat themse'.ves at the tai'jle when the dance v.as over. "It's so hot in here." ''Oh, dear," Tucky pouted, and she was very much amused. "Just as Mike and 1 were really getting started to dance together." "Tiicro's many another night," Mike said as he followed his rag- ing girl friend. Then added over his shoulder, "I hope." But neither the cool evening hiei-zes nor the summer moon could soothe the ruffled and wor- ried Lisa. After a few minutes sho ordered Mike to turn back toward town. "Drop Marlie off first, it's near- er." she ordered. But Tucky protested. "No, I want to sit out in tho porch swing awhile and watch the moon, don't you Marlie? Or you can take your dancing lesson." "I don't mind," Marlborough said uncertainly. ''But it's almost ten o'clock." "Oh, you'll have to get used to late hours this summer," smiled Tucky, "if you're going to be my I boy friend. Marlie. Because I am just getting started at ten o'clock." She would have given anything to see Lisa's face when Miko broke in: "lley, now Marlie! Y'ou haven't dated her up for the whole season have you? How about dividing her among us, now and then?" i,To Be Continued) Nature Forgot Ear Coverings Provided Us With EycUds To Shut Out Light But Left Us Defenceless Against Noise. Nature did not fully equip man for civilization, according to Dr. Verno 0. Knudson, professor of physics at the University of Cali- fornia, since she forgot to supply him with earlids. These are a nec- essary accessory If man is to be protected from the noises he pro- duces. Ear stoppers can perform a beneficial service In protecting not only the ears but the nerves from air borne noises. "There Is ample evidence," Dr. Knudson added, "that noise robs millions of city dwellers of quiet leisure and restful sleep. Few can escape from the nocturnal noises of neighbors' cats, dogs, radios and even social gatherings, or from the traffic of near-by automobiles, trucks, street cars and busses. The resulting toll society pays In a â- ingle item of disturbed sleep Is unbelievably great." Styles For Mature Woman To Avoid Among a few little effects that Howard Shoup, Hollywood design- er, thinks the mature woman should avoid are: Surplice bodices (aging!) Uninteresting, too sensible look- ing shoes (they can be comfort- able and flattering). Novelty gioves (plain pull-ons can't be beaten.^ Skirts more tnan three inches longer than the currently popular, accepted length. Severe necklines which da no- thing to hide the lines of her throat. Too itiach makeup and a long bob. Of tnterest to Women . Readers . SPRING TONIC By this time most of us arc fed up with the winter.

REDUCING THOSE HIPS If our hips would only keep slen- der, how much simpler life would be! I know that many of you yearn to reduce your hips, because shoals of letters tell me so. These exercises will slough otC fat around the hips. They're not so simple, so start easily and increase the effort as you get more supple. Lie flat on your back, with the hands clasped above your head and ankles together. Keeping heels and shoulders flat against the floor, roll your hips first to the left, and then to the right. Next, try this more difficult exer- cise: Lie flat on the floor, anus at the sides. Bring your knees up to your chest, keeping arms flat. Here comes the work! Kick upwards un- til your legs are straight in the air, and as you kick, twist the hips to the right. Maintain this position for a few seconds, then bring your knees back to your chest, and re- lax. Kick up again, this time twist- ing hips to the left. Remember â€" keep those arms of yours flat. You'll long to support your hips with your hands but you must refrain. Keep trying and the fat will roll off those hips! Write me for personal and confi- dential advice. Detailed leaflets on the following subjects may be ob- tained for 3c stamp each: Face, Byes, Hands, Hair, Feet, Bust, Su- perfluous Hair, Slimming, Under- weight, Reducing in Spots.

Jacket Suit Seen For Spring Wear Tight little jackets and full swirling skirts make the chic spring silhouette for slim young figures. A simple rayon taffeta frock in a small navy and white check with a full skirt is very smart worn under a snug basque jacket of soft navy wool. And one should wear a rufTled lingerie petticoat underneath to show when brisk breezes billow the skirt. This same jacket suit ia shown, tco, in brown and white and black and white.

Sees Women As Power For Peace World Counca Y. W. C. A. Leader Says They Can Do Much Women of the world can do much to accelerate the cause of in- ternational peace, according to Mrs. Harrle R. Chamberlain of Tol- edo, Ohio, addressing delegates to the annual meeting of the Foreign Division of the National Board of the Young Women's Christian As- sociation at Baltimore last week. Mrs. Chamberlain, vice-president of the World Council of the y,W.C.A. held that friendly ties such as those fostered by International "Y" branches will go far toward creating anti-war feeling among women of the world and that (his sentiment can thus be transmitted to leaders of various nations. Telling of the work of Y.W.C.A. brani'lies all over the world at a meeiing of the National Board sho ciled a new unit being formed in Iran as an example of the organi- zation's work in distant lands. "In such meetings as this one," Mrs. Chamberlain said, "It is easy to tell that women of all countries are as deeply concerned for peace as we are. The peace sentiment we have built up is strong enough to hold through political differ- ences."
