Rep/edge for War Savings SALAM TEA MARRYING MARK Violette Kimball Dunn Synopsis Mark Alexander is left with his stepdaughter, Valerie, to raise when his beautiful wife, Ellen, dies. Ellen's family resents Mark's care of the child by himself and hiring Lucy Tredway as a tutor. Elise has her eye on both Mark and the trust fund left Valerie and never misses chance to knock U-jcy. Shirley, however, thinks Mark has done just right. A birthday party it planned for Valerie, and while it Is going on, Elise bursts in on Mark and Lucy. CHAPTER 21 "Oh," said Elise. She felt as she did the day she went to meet Mark. She was saying all the wrong things, and she couldu't seem to stop. It was beginning to dawn on her that it would have been better not to come tonight. She steadily kept Lucy out of the conversation but she had never been so shatter- Ingly conscious of another woman before. "Shall I ring for coffee and it liqueur for you?" asked Mark. "No, darling," said Elise. She had come straight to them from a dull dinner at her mother's. But looking at her as she gazed pathetically into Mark's face, Lucy could have sworn she hadn't eateu for at least a week, aud was re- fusing, to spare even the servants unnecessary trouble. She had never, she thought, met anyone who managed to convey so much by what she didn't say. Alice and another maid came in and carried the table away. And presently there was a sudden rush of feet and laughter in the- big hall and the party burst in. headed by Valerie. "Darling." cried Valerie, "may we dance now? Or must we wajt a while? What shall we do?" "Of course you shall dance," Lucy laughed. "Whenever you're ready." She straightened a flower on Valerie's shoulder, aud looked at Elise, who raged at the maternal quality of the small scene. She could hardly bear the- implication of the- confidence ami affection be- tween the two. Neither did she miss the sudden droop of Valerie's young mouth as she followed the pressure of Lucy's hand and saw Elise, whom she had overlooked in her first rush with the others Into the room. The Dance "How do you do?" she said, try- ing to sound as cordial as she could. She waved a hand toward the chat- tering group around Mark. "I think you know everybody " "I dare say long before you did. darling^' Elise allowed herself to say. "Their mothers and fathers were my friends before you were born." "How nice." said Valerie pol- itely. She felt vaguely apologetic: but as she couldn't imagine what she had said she decided to wait and ask Lucy in the morning, it she didn't forget it in all the ex- citement. "Come on," she called to the others. "Of course you're coming, father and Lucy? Oil and Mrs. Waterford Father, will you prom- ise to dance with me at least once'.' It won't be a party unless you do. Rex, maybe Lucy will dance with you, if you solemnly promise not to walk all over her feet. He's ter- rible." she told Lucy. Ftex Davies grinned down from ISSUE 45 '41 his sixteen years. He was already crazy about Valerie, anu didn't care what she said to him. He tucked Lucy's hand Into his arm with what he felt was complete sophisti- cation. "Shall we get the elevator? Or don't you mind walking? And may I have the first dance-?" he asked in a breath. "The- very first," ahe promised. Lucy gathered a handful of peach velvet, and took to her heels. She arrived only slightly behind him at the door of the small ballroom. The orchestra waa playing, and couples slipped out on the shining surface of the floor, Mark coming toward Valerie. He said in the most grown-up way, "Will you dance this?" And then they were merging with Che rest, and smiling at Lucy, being taught a new step by Rex over in a corner. "Why, father," she said ainazed- iy. "Yes?" He leaned from her to look into her shining eyes. "Why, you're a marvelous danc- er- I mean t you really are." "Thanks'" said Mark, trying not to laugh. "I like to be taken dowu from the shelf and dusted off once in a while. "You're not bad your- self." "I do dance pretty well," stia said seriously. "But tlieu, you see, I love- it. You can always do things well if you love 'em." "I see." The dance ended, was encored, and ended again, "I shall now turn you over to Rex. Maybe you'll dance with me again later." He patted her head, and went off to find Elise. He- might as well get it over with aa soon as be could. Dancing with her had never been a treat, at best, but he would go through with it. and then go and find Lucy. After the Dance Elise stayed until half oast ele- ven. Mark danced with her only once. He made it a point to ask each of the fluttering gay bits of femininity who we-re Va! j friends, and he danced again \.itu Valerie. The rest of the time he spent wjth Lucy, whose stops seemed to tnelt into his with a peculiar magic. It was while the youngsters were sitting around a simple little sup- per that Klise made an excuse to go over anil drop down beside Lucy. Slie> smiled pleasantly, and made room for Elise besjde her on a small sofa. "Did you manage M get something to eat?" she asked. "Oh. yes." said Elise self-con- sciously. "Trust me to be at homo at Wide Acres." There seemed nothing to say 10 this, so Lucy merely smiled, and went back to her ice. "You never knew Mark's beauti- ful wife, of course-?" Elise asked presently, watching her. "No," said Lucy. Then, feeling that this was a trifle bad. she add- ed, "She must have been very love- ly." "Oh. my dear, she- was more tuaa lovely. She filled the house with her presence. But a man's wife Is the pivot around which a home revolves, don't you think?" "Naturally," said Lucy. She won- dered what was coming next. "You mustn't ever think we don't appreciate all your services here," cooed Klise. "All of us I nieau Mark's intimates realize how hard you must have worked. And what it must have cost you." "Cost me?" asked Lucy. She felt they were setting nearer now to the main idea.

The Ups and Downs Of Navy Life Ashore In the Navy, one who ove-rstays his leave ot absence is apt to incur extra police duty, or have ills sal- ary docked. A seaman on ttie I'. S.

I left tile ship on ten days' leave at my brother's farm iu Arkansas. On September 11 he decided to repair the silo right uway because he had to get bis corn in it. I rigged up a barrel hoist to tlie top. Then we hauled up several hundred brick. This later turned out to be too many bricks. Alter my brother got all the brickwork repaired, there was a lot of brick at the top on a work- ing platform. So 1 climbed dowu the ladder and hauled the barrel all the way up. Then 1 climbed back up the ladder. Then I untied the line to let the brick dowu, and climbed down again to hold tlm line. "Bu I found the barrel of brick heavier than I was, and when the barrel started clown. 1 started up. I was going pretty fast at the top and bumped my head. My fingers also got pinched lu the pulley block. But at the same tiraa the barrel hit the ground and the bot- tom fell out, letting all the brick out. 1 was heavier than the empty barrel and started dowu again. 1 got burned on the leg by the other rope as I went dowu until 1 met the barrel coming up, which went by faster than before and took the skin off my shins. 1 landed pretty hard. "At that lima 1 lost my pres- ence of mind aud let go of the line, aud the barrel came dowu again aud hit me squarely on the head. The doctor wouldn't let me stait back to the ship until Sep- tember 16, which made me two (lays ovprle;t\e. which I don't think is loo mucli under the circumstanc- es." TABLE TALKS By SADIE B. CHAMBERS Be Patriotic Eat More Apples This season of the year, as w are gathering in the apples, is * splendid time to make the reso- lution for more apple eating. Our ancestors knew nothing about vitamins and such like and yet who knows but one of the rea- sons for their good health was the abundance of apples which they used. The Canadian apple is the oldest prescription for health and beauty. Out of apples can be created an endless variety of wholesome and delicious treats. A splendid way to start the day is with a delicious baked apple or fried apple rings with bacon. la salads they offer variety, com- bined with grated raw carrot, raisins, cheese, nuts, etc. Apple GingeraU Salad 1 tablespoon gelatine Vt cup cold water V4 cup boiling water 2 cups gingerale 2 tablespoons sugar Vt cup diced apple V* cup chopped dates % cup chopped walnuts Mayonnaise Soak gelatine in cold water 5 minutes.

Som idea of the value ot" this new method can be gained by bearing in mind that an area of two or three hundred square miles, necessitating a whole SIM.-OU'S work by foresters in the field, can be surveyed by the aerial camera in the course of a few hours. From air photographs it has been found possible to classify forest types, and. furthermore, methods of determining :u heights of trees have been devel- oped by measuring thei. ima;;"- or shadows in tha photograph*, which, with the density o, tti forest, provides the basis for sur- prisingly accurate estimates of the volume of standing timber. Information of a general nature for forest inventory purpose* cau be secured from air photograph* without resorting to actual fieU work. Where more specific data are required supplementary niea- .sureuunts in tha form of ground checks are necessary, but in n , o,- does the amount of ground check approach the work involved in th old method of ground sur- veys. ff O (/ a I \ U(
