the Mod&ut SALADA TEA BAGS MARRYING MARK .... by Violette Kimball Dunn CHAPTER 18 "They're talking about you, dar- Hag, of course. Did you imagine ., you could bring an attractive young woman from nowhere, like a rabbit out- of a bat. and put her uncbaperoned into your house, aad nobody would talk about it?" .' Mark drew up by the side of the 4 road and stared at her. "Do you mean are you by any chance tell- ing me that Lucy Tredway " "Who else? Really, Mark. I ad- mit your right to do as you please. . But after all. you're over ten " She stopped, a little frightened at what she had said. She had never seen Mark angry before. It was > distinctly disturbing. i "If people are over ten before | they begin to make up rotten stor- ies out of thin air, I hope I never grow up!" he declared. "I never at my worst moments imagined any- . f thing like this! A young woman . paid a salary to tutor my daugh- , ter " Elise again laid her hand on his arm. The arm quivered, as if he were thinking twice before throw- ing it off, like the boy she accused him of being. "Dear heart," she purred, "please don't bark at me. After all, I haven't done anything. After all, this is an adult age." "I'm darned if what you say " sounds like it! Well go on you might just as well tell me all there Is of It." "There isn't any more," said El- Ise. Mark was staring at the horizon. _ * His face was quite cold. She be- gan to be very much afraid. Per- haps the Idea was not so clever as it had seemed when she Invent- ed it. Malicious Gossip > "All I mean is," she went on rather sadly, "people seem to think you're not /being quite fair to Valerie." Watching him close- ly, she could see that the shot went home. She continued more \ confidently, "After all, the child .* 1 very young, and susceptible to f Impressions. It doesn't seem quite , playing the game to let peopH gossip Of course it's only for Val- erie. I'm just a little afraid nobody is bothering a great deal about Miss Speedwell " . Mark turned on her like a man who had suddenly had enough. "The name is Tredway," he said. .' There was something iu the way he said it that made Elise jump. "Of course it is, darling! You *. know what an imbecile I am about names! The point is, well she n doesn't seem to be so terribly popu- lar with the few people who have . met her." , "I wonder If it keeps her *vrak< nights. She's popular with Valerie, fie up to Ogcfen's .' Old-Timers will tell you that, for rolling -your-own, Ogden's Is a name to tie to for a really satisfying smoke. It has a taste all its own richer, better tasting. That's because of its distinctive blend of choice, ripe tobaccos.Try it once. Then you also will tie to It; for it's not just another tobacco it's OGDEN'S! And Ogden's means "more enjoyment".

Lucy, I mean. Damned popular, if you want to know!" Eliso grew suddenly cold. "But, of course, If you're In love with her, darling " The words were hardly cold be- fore she knew what a fatal mistake they were. She gathered up her courage and looked at him. Hie face was far from reassuring. "Why do you women always im- agine a man must be in love?" he asked. "Anyway, count me out. Absolutely." Eliae tried not to read anything more into it than just the bare words. But his emphasis on "abso- lutely" was a bit terrifying. She looked out and saw with astonish- ment that they had entered the town, and were even now stopping before her apartment house. Tears Of Rage Mark got out at once, and open- ed the door. Her big hat drooping at her side, she faced him with lowered eyee. "I suppose you'll never forgive me," she sighed. "I suppose you wouldn't come in and share my dinner. I was going to the Weight- man's party tonight, but you don't know how I'd love to cut it for you " Mark could have laughed. He was riding a wave of freedom. He had seen through Elise. Never again would Intangible uneasiness fill him because of her or her great dark eyes or her subtle perfume. "I'm afraid not tonight," he said. "You see, I must be getting home to the children." Elise chose one more from her bag oif tricks. "Are you furious with me, darling? Do you hate me?" She even managed what sounded faintly like a sob. "I suppose it' what we must expect when we try to help those we love I've stay- ed awake nights trying to decide whether or not I should tell you about this and now " "And now," said Mark pleasant- ly, "run along in and catch up on your sleep." "You're angry " "Not a bit. \Vliy on earth should I be?" Tossing off the whole thing as if it were less than nothing. He was really wondering how much longer she intended stand- Ing there talking Inanities. He cold forgive her, suddenly, for the whole silly business. Even for mak- ing him miss his swim. "Good*ye " She tried to put heartbreak into it, and loneliness. Mark turned as if oa a released spring, and held out his hand. "Come over sometime," he grinned. "If you're not afraid of our repu- tation." Real tears sprang to her eyes. Sh.e turned quickly away and walk- ed up to the house. She was afraid he would see the tears. They were of rage, and even a man would know the difference. By the time she turned at the dow, Mark and the roadster had vanished. (To Be Continued) Canadians Urged To Eat More Fish Serve fish and keep the house- hold budget withiu bounds is the advice of Miss Hazel Freeman, lec- turer-demonstrator of the Fisheries Department, to housewives who are troubled about the rising costs of meat and eggs. "One pound of salmon has three times the nutritional value of a pound of mutton or lamb; and one and a half pounds of white fish equal a pound of lean beef," she. explained. "But when the prices are compared, any housewife will see the advantage iu increasing the fish consumption in the> home." 0r. Robert Wodehouse, deputy Minister of Pensions and Health, described fish as "one of the most valuable forms of food, containing the same constituents as meat but in a much more digestible form." Embodying relatively high per- centages of complete protelus, Hah also contained fats, energy foods, vitamins, especially D and A which were body builders and Increased resistance to disease. Hint* For Buying A few hints for buying were outlined by Miss Freeman: 1. Buy iu season. Fresh tlsh are usually at their best both iu flavor and quality as well as cheapest. 2. Choose thick plump fish in preference to loug slender ones for Quality and economy. 3. Observe that flesh la firm, eyes and gills bright, skin not dull, and no strong odor. 4. When whole slices are not required costs may be reduced by buying cuts near the head or tail. 5. Cheaper varieties may be us- ed in many casserole dishes, fish- cakes, soups or souffles. Suggestion was made that hi buying, three servings to a pound of fillets or half a pound per per- son for whole fish are adequate. Also in keeping fish, they should be wrapped in waxed paper, cov- ered closely and kept in a very cold place If juices and flavor are not to be lost. "One can buy haddock for 15 ceuts a pound, and almost all fish cheaper than meat," Miss Freeman said. "This can be a real saving in restricted budgets."
