X ii w TMtGnOOM VMS SMY <>S ^LMA $IOUX SCAA.»E.B.R.y SYNOPSIS When Marlborough Jones' moth- ir leaves their home In Lecbrook to address a convention in Cleve- land, she is very much worried â- bout leaving her 18-year-old son â- lone for the first time. She Insists on asking Judy Miller the glfl "cxt door, to run in daily to see that her tall handsome boy Is all right. Marlie says Judy has enough to do helping out in her father's drug store. And when While he is in the drug store later Lisa Loring drops In and asks him casually to come to her home that evening to meet Kentucky Louel- lan of Louisville. This is part of a well thought out plan. When Lisa learned from the departing Mrs. Jones that Marlborough was to be •lone, she thought of making use of the handsome Jones boy in en- tertaining Tucky. Her only fear is that Marlie will not "loosen up" •nd spend money on Tucky al- though he has a hundred thousand left him by his father. Tucky, pretty and resourceful, soon real- izes that Lisa invited the bashful "mama's boy" because she does not want to share her real boy friends. Mike Tulling, who had been put out of two prep schools, dashes up in his new runabout and Marlie soon finds hinwelf at the Red Rooster Inn. He cannot dance and apologizes awkwardly to Tucky. She says she will teach him later at her Uncle Herbie's, whom she's visiting. Lisa, seeing her plans going awry. Insists upon leaving early. Marlie wonders what hi* mother will think. CHAPTKU i Judy couIJ not restrain \\er ciir- Joslty another minute. U was eight o'clock in the morning when nhc ran up on tlic Jouesos' back porch. Marlborough had just burned his finger, and the tcist. "Look, Ju<le," he greeted her, holding up his hand. "Maybe you can fix a piece of toast for me. Judy looked properly sympa- thetic. "Put some cool water on it, then plaster Bome soda on and loave it awhile. It'll soon stop stinging. What do you want? Orange Jui'je, toast and hot chocolate?" "And 1 could nse a few eggs and gome bacon. I guess staying up lato last night mus-. have givea mc an aiipetito." Learning To Dance Marlie looked pleased as iiunch Kitii himself. Judy opened :he ice- box and took out the supplies. Then she said offhandedly, "Have- a good time?" "Ob, swell," .Marlie sat down and stretched comfortably. "I had a dancing lesson. Tucky I^ouellan i» teacliing me." "Well, do tell!" Judy put a skil- let on the gas range "What is your mother going to say?" Jrtarlie sighed. "I don't know. .Maybe sbo won •, like It very well." Judy cracked an egg. "Oil, well, worry about that when the liiiio conies. A littlo fun isn't going to hurt you. Your mother can't always keep you tied to her apron strings." "That'3 wliat I was thinking. Af- ter all, I am a man now." ' AVu're not bnbie.s." "Your father and my mother Ihlnk^ we are, though. I suppose we'll havo some timo convliiiing them wc don't havo to be led around any more. And I sure wouldn't want to make Mom unhap- py." Judy broke another egg and dropped il in the pan with Iho sizzling bacun. "Well, she will bf^," she inforni- e<l him mildly, "but I wouldn't let It worry luu too much, Marllo. You've got to wake up and lie a man sometime. Now's a good timn to Stan. You let her boss you too much, (irani thinks." "Maybe," Marlie said thoughtful- ly. "Iliit I'm all she's got." A Tongue Loosened "lint men havo to learn to shift for themselves." Judy stirred hla rbocolate. "There's nothing worse than a man who grows up to Im a namby-p.-imhy wllh no spine. No- body has any respect for hini." "Yeah." Marlhorouifh looked tbonglilful. "I Kuess you're right. ' Is Miss lyouellan pretty?" Judy put Ills bacon and eggs before him. Marlie gald wltli an enthusiasm that Judy rouldn'l miss: "Oil, boy. Is «!ie? .She's prettier than any girl In this town. Pres- ent company excepted, of course." "I'm not pretly." Jmly poured two cu|i8 of choi-nlatp and sat dovi n opposite Marlborougli. "Am 1?" Marlie studied lif-r seriously for a tew seconds. "Why, yes you are. Jude," he said â- nally. "You're very nice lonkliig. I'm not much for nnilctng the way Klrls look. Hut you've g;U nice brown eyes and pink elieeks, and I llko jour linlr straight and plain Hi* you wear It. It suits .you." "Dless my saui:" Judy laughed. "Ijist ev.-ntng must have done you Itond. Loosened your 'onjcue, or lomethlnjj." "WpII. you fished for It, and »f- tar all, when a girl comes In niid gS>ts a fellow's breakfast and asks him it he thiuks she's beautiful â€" " Judy drops In the • next day "you'ro not such a much your- self, .Mr. Jones!" She linlshed her cliocjlani and jumix'd up. "I'll make your bed and dust." "I wish you wouldn't, Judy. 1 can do it!" "It'll take only a "minute. 1 promised your moihur." Taking Her Shopping She was just linisliing up when the phono rang.- Sho stood in the hall while ilarlborougli answered, and lihu couldn't resist listening when she found out it was the new girl fioiii Loii'sville. "Albany?" she heard Marlie sa.v. "Yes, I have a car. Not a very gooit one. I guess 1 can take you shop- ping. Ill be over about nine." Wheu he hung up Judy walked downstairs. Marlie looked up un- certainly. "Tliat wa3 Tucky. She wants me to take her shopping in Albany to- day. 1 said I'd go- but gosh!" â- 'She w'orlis fast." Judy went out to the kitchen to wash lier hands. Marlie followed. "Well, 1 guess I'll havo to go. 1 promised. Motlier has never al- lowed me to drive to the city, though." "Oh, go ahead," Judy urged. "What's driving to -Moany with a girl to shop? There's no crime in that." Mingled with Judy's desire to see Marlborougli show a little spunk, however, was a vague feel- ing of uneasiness. That Kentucky girl was certainly a bold thing. Imagine calling a man up and ask- ing him to drive you to Albany shopping on such short acquaint- ance. More The Merrier Marlborough had never realized (julto what a wreck his old car was until he drove up to the Louellans. It was certainly no fit chariot for the vision that tripped down the steps in a black and white gowu and a wide white picture hat. Marlie felt the old self ronscious- Matron's New Jacket Elnsembie PATTKKN .lOOl By ANNE ADAMS You'll renlly enjoy making and wearing this ... if your ambition is a slenderiited sprinK dress with serene, simple distinction in all its lines!

She jumped Into the car. "We'll have to drive by and i>lck Lisa up," she pouted. "When she heard you were going to drive me Biiopping she just had to come along. I think It'd be more fun alone, don't you?" Marlie was on a spot, but he said sonielbing about the more llie mer- rier and starled the old rattletrap. He'd certainly never noticed be- fore what a noise it made. Lisa was waiting at the gate. Sho piled into the front seat and Marlio took the side streets out of town. Even Marlio appreciated that fact that he was rambling down country roads on a perfect Juno day with two adorable look- ing debs, liolli made a play for his attention and he found himsclt ex- panding under tho .stinsliine of their smiles and actually enjoying himself. It was Just outside of Albany that the car started to cough and jerk. After a few blocks it became apparent that they would have to go to a gaiage. Fortunately they wen; in Iho same block with one when the machino gave out alto- gether. Marlborougli was hot with em- barrassment. "Darn!" He got out and stood looking at Uie old wreck dejected- ly. "I'm soiry this had to happen today." "I suppose," Lisa said wriggling impatiently 'it'd never occur to you to buy a new one, Marlie." Tucky defended him. "Suppose he can't afford another one, smart- ie. Did you ever think of that?" "Don't be silly," Lisa sniffed. "He can afford a dozen good cars. Can't you, Marlie?"' A Pretty Sick Car Marlborough was in a quandary as to what he s'uould say when Tucky said wonderingly, ".Aly good- ness, Marlie, are you rich too? I knew there was something about you I was crazy about, but I cer- tainly didn't know it was anything so unromantic as your money." "I'm not really rich," Marlie flushed. "My father left me a lew first mortgages, that's all. But they're to insure my future. Mother keeps them for me." "I'll just bet she does," Lisa smiled knowingly. "But It's a won- der you wouldn't loosen up and buy a new car." "I'll have to some day, I guess." Marlborough's face felt stiff when he tried to smile. A man came out of the garage. "Something wrong, buddy?" "It â€" just won't go," Marlie said helplessly. "Well, If it hasn't died of old age. maybe we can get enough life â- jick into it to make it last a few mare weeks." The mechanic scratched his head doubtfully. "But il looks pretty sick." '"See what you can do." Marl- borough was anxious to get away. "I'll be back for it later." They started down the street. Lisa steered Marlie across the next corner and down the block whore she knew thcro was ono. of the largest automobile display rooms in Albany. In front of It sho stop- ped short. "Oh, look!" Sho clapped her bunds. "Aren't they lovely?" .Marlborough had always envied the other fellows their new raa- cliines. Tho Jonoscs had had only two miserable old socond-liand ones In their lives. His father and mother had thought it extravagant to invest in a new one when they iLiied :i niatliiiie so seldom. Tucky sighed. ' Look at that long t:iu sports model In there. Isn't it the sweet- est tiling you ever saw?" Marlie agreed. "It's something, ail right. And I'll bet it costs a pretly penny too." Set Back $1,800 "Wo could have some wonderful times liiis summer It you had it, Marlie. couldn't we?" Tucky had her hand on his arm. "lint I must- n't try to tempt you Into buying it. That wouldn't be fair." "Como on Marlie." Lisa smiled to herself. "Let's go in and have just one liltio look. It won't do any harm just to seo what it's like inside." Hefore Marlborough knew it, a salesman was showing them around. Marlie, thinking it over afterward, decided he must havo ellher been insane or hypnotized. Little did he know that it was the machinations of Lisa and Kentucky that elose<l the deal. For the shopping expoditlon that was to be Lisa's aod Tucky'a turned out to tic a real buying spree for Marlie. 'When he woke up, he had signed a check for tl.SOO. And he was driving dazedly back along the same old road to Iie»- brook with two of tho nrettiest girls In the Slate of New York Bit- ting very closo 10 him â€" In the new car.

No matter the month, weddings are still popular and many young: wo~ men 'within the next few months will be starting on their new ca- reers.

That isn't necessarily true as most mod- ern women are as capable in the home as they are in other spheres. Where brides are likely to fall down on the job is in fancy dishes such as cakes and pastry. For the benefit of those young brides and brides-to-be, we are giving a cake recipe which is both simple to make and economical â€" the first consideration will please tho lady and the second will please her husband.

So they went right back and started over again â€" this time we believe it will take. In the interim, we have accustomed ourselves to wide sHlrts â€" In fact, we are downright devoted to them. (Not so good for short girls, though.) 'We have been "tweeded" for many years now and even the horsey set would like a change. So enter Madame Gibson â€" Just as sweet as ever. Crowns High And Low Your now spring bonnet can be Just thatâ€" a bonnet. But smarter, and more Gibsonlsh are the small, straight sailors. If you wear your hair too long a sailor might look grotesque â€" so make sure of your coiffure first. This can't be empha- siied too much. Crowns are worn both high or low. So it you look too flat in an Inch high crown get one with more height. The tiny hat is passe. Should Be Suited A suit â€" you must have. Your best bet will be tobacco brown, beige, greige (gray-beige) navy or black. Always remember when you buy a navy suit for spring that you cannot wear it in the fall; navy is definitely a spring color. And no colored blouses, please. Make it a crisp white blouse.

Well* kept hands are so lovely, whilst a little care of the feet repays tis in added comfort. Look after your nails regularly. Use a waxy base underneath your nail varnish. This protects th« nails and keeps them from split- ting and drying out. Give your hands and wrists a weekly dip in warm olive oil- Keep your hands as clean as pos- sible. Wash them with Palmolive soap, and then rub -them well with Italian balm. The more often yoa use lotion on the hands, the smoother and whiter they'll be- come. This little exercise will keep your wrists supple: place elbows on a low table, relax wrists and fingers and, without moving el- bows, describe circles with your, hands. Bend hands backward as far as possible, then forward. Re- peat fifteen times. Tired feet bring worried lines to the face â€" more wrinkles! Wenr properly fitting footwear. Many readers asic me how to â-  dispose of corns. The quicltfst and most effective method i.<5 to get a good csr.i plaster. To relieve tireti feet, rub them with a lotion made up of i 02. p£ spirit of camphor and 2 ozs. sur- gical spirit. Write me for perso-nal beauty advice.
