She met her at the top of the stairs. •Well, tell me about It, Kitten." She followed her granddaughter into her room. "Did you have a nice time?" "Loâ€" vely," Judy yawned, sitting down and kicking off her slippers. "Murh better than 1 expected. Mar- lie and I played for the rest to dance, and we played bingo after- ward." Gram sat down ami folded her band.s. "Yes, go on: Did everybody like your new dress?" "Yum. I guess so," Judy yawn- td again. "Peter did. Anyway, he told ine 1 looked like a little daf- fodil." "Maybe he meant daffy." Uram looked pleased. "And what did you think of Mariie's big moment?" Too Dumb To Notice "Tucky's vc-ry beautiful. Hut a little silly, 1 ihiuk. She flirted with Peter behind Mariie's back. In fact, 1 thought sh(.< made a disgusting play for him. Well, l^isa did too, for that matter. 1 don't think Mike liked it very well. Hut Marlle was too dumb to notice he wa^ being two-timed right under his nose." "So Peter was quite a hit." Gram beamed. "I thought lie would be. How do you like him?" "Ht.'s a perfect gentleman," Judy buid witliout enthusiasm. "And very handsome too, if you ask me. If 1 were a young girl, I'd go for bini in a big way." "Too bad you're not young. Gram." Judy got up to slip her new Bown over her head. "You'd be the belle of the town, I'll bet." â-  1 never lacked for loaus- in my day," the old woman chuckled rem- liilscently. "Your grandfather thought 1 was a pretty bad flirt. Hut he soon tamed mo. That's what happens when a girl falls iu love. Did Peter ask to see you again?" "You n.sk too many cjucstions." Judy sal down to take off hor stock- ings. "No, he didn't. Did you ex- pect him to?" "He will." Gram yawned and got up. "You looked very lovely, and I'l'ter isn't blind." Plenty Of Other Girls "Gram I" Judy sounded provok- ed. "Just because yuu asked Peter Johns to lake me to a parly, don't think he has to bother taking me out again. There were plenty of fithcr girls there tonight, and they were all making eyes at htm." "That wouldn't Interest a boy like Peter. I think he would prefer a girl of your type." "I do believe," the grand- daughter yanked her nightie out of tlie drawer, "you planned this whole thing deliberately I" "Don't be absurd." Gram prepar- ed to make a quick exit before Judy could make any more accusations. "Well, I'm glad you had a nice time. Cet to sleep now. You're not used to being up so lute." The next morning Marlie and Judy surveyed the Jones house with sinking spirits. "You'll have to get some one In to clean this place up thoroughly." Judy ran her fingers over a spot where a cigarette had burned the dining-room table. It would take me a week to get it looking right." Marlie was horrified. ' I'll send for Mrs. Tuttc. She does mother's housecleaning." "And you'd l)etter tell her not to do any talking about it," warned Judy. "It your mother finds out, we'll both get the blame. Mlk© broke one of her best cups." "Maybe she won't count 'em," Marlie hoped dispiritedly. Judy lent down and picked up a cigarette stub from the living- room carpet. "Here's a hole. Oh, lordiel Y'ou better check up all over the house and learn the worst riglu away." In A Bad Hole "Mom is sure to see thai," Mar- lie said dolefully. "Well, I'll call Mrs. Tuttle and at least we'll get all the mC'Ss cleaned up. But we can't do much about the damage." "You better just find a hole and crawl in and stay there till next Ghristmas." .ludy could not help smiling at Mariie's wobegone ex- pression. "Or go west, young man, go wcsl." The phone rang. Judy picked up a dustcloth because she wanted an excuse to find out who it was. Marlie answered in the hall. "Oh, hello, Lisa." lie made no effort to sound cheerful. "Yeah, I liad a swell time." There was a pause, then Marl- borough .oaid hesitatingly, "Well, 1 don't know. Yeah, 1 guess ho. Too bad your aunt's sicit. Okay, I'll take you. About six-lhirty." Ho hung up, looking a little pale, Judy thought. "Had news?" she asked curious- ly. 'Noâ€" well, not very. It was Lisa. Her aunt in Albany is sick and she wanls me to drive her to hor house this evening lo see how she is."

Judy put the dust-cloth away. "Are you guiug to take Tucky too?" Marlie shrugged and made au ef- fort to look Indifferent. "Nope. Guess not. Lisa says she heard Tucky ask your doctor to come over tonight, and she thiokfi he accepted." "I don't care, of course." Judy fell a little sorry for her crest- fallen neighbor. "1 saw her mak- ing a play for hlui." "You did?" Marlle followed her out to the portli. "Wliut did she do?" ' Oh, Just silly things. Rolled her big blue eyes and called hlra "Doc- lah' in her best Southern dialect." '•.\Iaybo you Imagined It." Marlle plucked a morning-glory from a vine and hold it to his nose. "Tucky is nice to everybody. " "Oh, sure," Judy scoffed. "Well, It's a good thing you have Lisa to console you, if Tucky really does leave you flat for tlio handsome doctor. That seems to be her In- tention. So long. Don't jump Into the lake now." A Different Girl FEATURE â€" WAY â€" MAY 4th She ran down the steps before Marlie hud a chanco to answer. It was a busy morning in the drug store, and Judy had very little lima to think. It was shortly before noon that she looked up and saw Peter Johns. He was in white tennis pants and sport shirt with short sleeves' and turned-down colUtr. And he was handsomer than the evening before, flushed, and with his hair curling wildly over his head. He showed flashing white teeth in a friendly grin as he sat down at the counter. "Do you suppose a drink of some- thing cool will spoil my lunch?" he asked, lighting a cigarette. "Well," Judy smiled back at him shyly, "I suppose 1 couldn't pre- scribe it as being very good for your digestion." ' A poor business woman, but a good nurse." Peter's eyes crinkled at the corners with gayety. He gave his order. While Judy mixed his drink, he watched her. She was a vastly dif- ferent girl from the buttercup- gowned one of the evening before. Trim and immaculate in a big wJiile apron, which completely swathed her litilo figure. Her hands were small and white and moved with quick efficiency. There was a lull In business and Judy and Peter were the only two in the store when she sat the drink before him. "I came to ask you to lunch," the doctor said as he took a sip and nodded apprcvin:jl.v. "Oh I" Judy looked surprised. "That's very kind of you, doctor, but 1 can't get away. Sam Calhoun won't be back till after two, and we're very busy these hot after- noons." Peler looked disappointed, "You don't liavo to work this evening, do you?"

FOR THIN LKGS. Lighter -sliades of stockings often create a I'Uimpcr elTcct. Massajje will help. U.so gentle stroking; movements, working from the instep to the ankle, and from ankle to the knee. A good fatten- inK mixture is made with 3 parts of olive oil to one of lanolin. Put the lanolin in a jar and stand in very hot water until it melts, then slowly add the olive oil, beating nil the time. Apply it generously to the legs, massaging as describ- ed above. Keep the jar handy for future use and heat before using. FOR Fat LKGS. To reduce fat legs, mas; age as follows: Cov- er legs and ankles with a good lather of palmolive soap. Mas- rage well in, then rin.se dry, cross the legs and dust talcum heavily on the upper leg. Next pinch tirnily between fingers and thumb, u.sing quick vigorous movements. After nt least ten minutes of this, take the ankle between both hands, and wring it mercilessly, twistin;^ one hand to the right and the other to the left. Itcpeat with the other leg. Whilst undergoing these leg treatments, take a dash of Kko- vah health suits in a fflass of water every morning, to tone up your system. Complete leg treatments (slim- niing and fattening) may be ob- tained, ns well as leaflets on Face, Kycs, flands, Bust, Feet, Siim- tnlnp.

"Well," Judy hesitated. "I usual- ly do." "Nonsense!" he chlded. 'That's too much activity. 1 prescribe a lit- tle relaxation. There's a new show opening In Albany and I'd like no- thing belter than lo enjoy it with you. If you say nay I'll call your grandmother. She said you were to look after me this summer." "Well," Judy turned and wiped a glass, "I guess I can manage It." Peter finished his drink and then jumped up. "I'll phone for the tickets. Be ready at seven, sharp, so we can have a nice drive in the June twi- light. I think you've been spend- ing too much time cooped up la this drug store." When he had gone Judy smiled to herself. So Tucky hadn't suc- ceeded iu making her date with Peter, after all. That was funny. It was sort of nice, knowing that Peter could have taken Tucky, but preferred her. She could hardly wait to get home to tell Gram. (To Be Continued) Auburn Tresses Pay Dividends It's Best To Be A Red-head When It's A Question Of Cold Cash, Hollywood Make- up Expert Claims. From a fiction standpoint, the choice may lie between blondes and brunettes, but when it comes to cold cash, it's better to be a redhead. Perc Westmore, a make-up au- thority, disclosed today that he paid $1,920 for 24 ounces of na- tural red hair to fashion a wig for Bette Davis â€" which is $80 an ounce. "Women who possess natural red hair are not anxious to part with it at any price â€" or their hus- bands will not permit them to cut it off," he said. He said tests of dyed red hair or different shades showed a crim- son reflection on Miss Davis' feat- ures under white technicolor light- ing. Only natural red failed to reflect.

CHAMBERS DELICIOUS CANADIAN DISHES What could be more patriotic than a loyalty to Maple syrup on your bill of fare? Nothing will bring more loyalty to the cook and adherence to the slogan "Just like Motrer Made." Three reci- pes follow one for pancakes; one for waffles for those who are for- tunate enough to have an electric waffle iron, and thirdly a simple maple syrup dessert. PANCAKE RECIPE 2 cups sifted pastry flour or l';4 cups pastry flour and '/i cup whole wheat flour 3 teaspoons baking powder lia teaspoon salt 2 eggs !%â-  cups milk V* cup melted butter Measure flour and sift with bak- ing powder and salt. If whole wheat flour is used, toss in after sifting the white flour and baking powder. Add beaten egg, milk and melted butter. Add slowly the liquids to dry ingredients. Some eggs vary as does the flour; if batter should be thin, add more milk if necessary. Pour or drop rounds of batter on hot frying pan. When bubbles appear turn and brown on the other side. Serve piping hot with maple syrup. IMAPLE SYRUP CREAM 1 1/3 cups (1 can condensed milk) 2/3 cup maple syrup % cup whipping cream 2 tablespoons' granulated su- gar % cup pecan nuts 1 pint envelope plain gelatins BoU milk and syrup in double boiler. Remove from heat and stir in gelatine, which has been soak- ed in M cup cold water. Beat with egg beater a few rounds to insure smoothness, then pour into wet moulds. Chill. Unmold and serve with the whipped cream, with sugar added sprinkled with the nuts. Serves six. WAFFLES iMt cups sifted flour, ^ cup whole wheat flour or 2 cups pas- try flour 3 teaspoons baking powder teaspoon salt egg. yolks egg whites beaten stiff cup cream cup milk tablespoons melted butter Sift flour, baking powder and salt.

Drop and cook on electric waffle iron in the usual way. Serve with plain maple s.vrup or a thinly whipped cream with shaved maple sugar added. Waffles are not synony- mous with breakfast any more for they can be dressed up with a va- ried wardrobe, making them a well behaved addition for luncheon or evening as well as breakfast. 3 3 4 Your Household Problems Have you fussy eaters in your family'.'

Jacket Dresses For Sightseeing Coat Can Be Removed, Should Have Long Sleeves NEW YORK.â€" Two-piece jac- ket dresses are the most practical choice on a normal day of fair .'^ight-seeing. It's a little better it the jacket has long sleeves, too. For you know how undessed you feel in bare arms when a wind sweeps up. Choose Washable Fabrics These jacket dresses are formal enough enroute and for dining, yet they ate practical since the jacket can be removed. If it's cool, or you're staying out for din- ner, remember how unpredictable our weather is and take a wrap along. In fabrics, consider pure silk frocks, for they can be washed. Consider cotton for the same rea- son, and spun rayon and linen crash, because they are so cool and non-crushable.

GET SOME TODAT Accessories Are Very Important They Form The Luxurious Pari Of A Woman's Costumt This Season â€" Choose Then Carefully. Accessories are the really luxa< rious parts of the feminine co». tume this season. Carefully cho- sen, they can give a woman a most elegfant appearance, even whea she is wearing a simple tailored suit or a dress devoid of special decoration. The accessories include a baff, an umbrella, a portable water- proof rain cap, a scarf with match- ed handkerchief, gloves, a bou- tonniere and fanciful jewels, and even the decorative shoes now in vogue fall into the category of ac- cessories. Blending Colors One important rule is to be fol- lowed in choosing such accessories: There must always be one, two or three harmonious combinations. Thus the bag blends with ths gloves and sometimes with the shoes, or there is color or tone har- mony between the gloves, the scarf and the handkerchief or between earrings, brooches and clips.
