"Here try It on again, she mumbled her mouth foil of pins. And .'Daphne, as excitedly as if It were the first time instead of .the eleventh since dinner time, obediently slipped out of her pink kJmona and- into the beige flan nel Hiss Viola held out. "Turn around, no, not that way, the other way! Lift up your arm, till I see It . .mm . . .all right . .Ooh! Gracious I Jus' can't keep my , eyes open any longer!" Viola yawned, tapping her mouth with a t him bled finger. "Oh, Miss Viola. I shouldn't -hare let you stay up so late to work on my dress! 1 ought to be ashamed " "Oh that's all right . .Ooh! . .Excuse me when I get a yawning fit like this I Jus' can't stop . .Oh, I didn't mind stay ing up. When it's something spe cial like this, I kind of like to. The nights I've sat up making wedding dresses . .I'll be mak- lng yours next .... Daphne's cheeks flamed, but a little dreaming smile played around the corners cf her mouth. Poor Miss Viola, always imagin ing something . .j still . .it really might happen . .funnier things than that . . . "There I guess I can quit. You can finish off the seams later. Just press it , good, and It'll look fine for tomorrow. I hope I'm awake when you go. I'll peek out of the window. I know youll look swell.

The Iron was hot already! . When at last the new -dress was pressed to perfection. Daphne flonned on the nearest chair a little limply. "I am Ured," she whispered to i herself, "my knees i shakv . . ." Almost morning but still time ; for a little nap. She was asleep ' before her head touched the pil low. In the gray light, her child ish face was chalky, the faint sha- dowi under her eyes were black, but her lips were faintly smiling . .so tired . .so happy . . Of course she was ready, too early. She climbed on a chair and " teetered perilously in front of the litle high mirror, trying to see if the skirt hung right. It did. And her nails were polished, and her nose powdered, and her lips rou ged, not another earthly thing to do but wait. Half past seven, Ralph said. It was half past seven now. What if he didn't gme? And their-Jhe bell rang. She grabbed her purse, added a last minute drop of perfume to her best - handkerchief . . there! clumsy! she almost spilled the bottle ... She had the door open finally, Ira all ready! isn't it a gorge ous " She got that far before she ful ly realised that the young man in the gray overcoat wasn't Ralph Pm Allan Winter? he too Maying, i ' t . . iii There was the long ' yellow car parked right outeide, Ralph's car but this young man . . . She had a confused Impression of shy blue eyes and slightly stick out ears, f I'm Allan Winters," he was sayfng, a little diffidently. He seemed sorry that he wasn't Ralph. "Ralph got a phone call late last night, too late to call you. He couldn't get away today so he thought . .he said . . he told you if anything happened I'd drive you over to Mr. Greely's place" She wanted to burst Into tears, to wave him away, and go back to bed and cry, and cry, but she knew she couldn't do that Mr, Greely expected her, his sister expected her, Ralph expected her to go . "I hope you don't mind?" she heard herself saying politely. Just before they drove away something made her look back at the house. A frowsy gray head was stuck out of the porlor win dow. Miss Viola's face, mottled and puffy with sleep, stared in credulously at the moving road ster and the slight stranger at the wheel. Daphne looked at her piteously. Then the car gathered speed. They were on their way. The big day for which she had dreamed and slaved had dawned, and would die . Jill for nothing. corner of her eye she could see Allan Winters beside her, intent on the wheel. He drove with a curious little pucker of concentra tion between his -eyebrows and a funny half smile around the cor ners of his month. ' ' ! "He's getting ' a thrill out of driving Ralph's car!" she thought, with a flash of Intuition, She took another look. He was about ("Ralph's age aha knew, but he looked younger, and older too. There were tired lines around his eyes,, but he lacked the assur ance that made Ralph so fascinat ing. He looked at her and grinned, "Some ear!" She grinned back, and without any particular rea son their shyness melted, they seemed to have known each other a Ions; time. "I won't spoil his day Just he- cause mine is spoiiea, s n e thought, and it came to her that perhaps it wasn't entirely spoiled. There "was still the long drive, and Bolinas, and Mr. Greely's cot tage "Gosh, I haven't had any break fast, have you? he asked after they were on the boat. She hadn't either, so they wrig gled their way through the close ly packed cars on the deck and went below t o the restaurant where there was a pleasant smell of bread toasting, and salt wind from the open portholes, and cof fee bubbling In the big urns. They climbed on high stools at a long counter, and ate huge stackr of hotcakes, - exchanging i jri a p y smiles. The green water bobbed by the windows. A child's excited laugh ter rose above the thob of the en gines. A hiker tinkled a ukelele Sunday papers rattled. Holiday faces. Everybody was having glorious time. Even Daphne. And then the boat was coming into the slip and they had to scramble back through the long line of cars, with Daphne gig gling, "It was that last hotcake that made us late I shouldn't have stopped for it but it was so good!" They sped along by the sea, un til they had left the smooth high way behind, and begun the wind ing drive by the cliffs, with the surf booming below, and the spray breaking ' .can you be sad on such a day? "This was a stroke of luck for GOOD-NIGHT ; STORIES Bj Max .TreO i Xnarfs Impudence Gets His Master Frank Into Trouble F someone your aunt, let us say Is taking' an afternoon nap, you 'musn't wake her. You mustn't even go near her. The only thing to do Is to tiptoe away as softly as possible, and to stay away until she . wakes up. Otherwise, you are sure to find yourself In trouble, even though, like Master Frank in this story. you are not at all to blame. The real mischief-maker was Knarf, who, you know, was Mas ter Frank's shadow. It happened one afternoon that Knarf, along with M1J, Flor, Hanid and Yam the other little shadow children slid into the parlor to see what was to be seen. They saw the lit tle real-children reading by the window and in the rocking chair fhey saw auntie, fast asleep. In her lap was a ball of yarn and her knitting needles. Now the shadow-children were exceedingly quiet. Shadows are always so. It is not likely that you have ever heard your own shadow make the slightest sound. You would imagine, therefore. that the little shadow-children would not disturb auntie. Mij, wouldn't, and neither would Flor, Hanid and Ym. But Knarf was different. This little shadow-boy would disturb any body. He positively took delight In it No sooner did he spy auntie peacefully dozing than he gave a spring and landed right on the ball of yarn in her. lap. "Come back, come back!" urged the others. No one heard them but Knarf, for they spoke in shadow-language, which is a hun dred times quieter than a whisper. Knarf might just as well not have heard them, for .all the at tention he paid. Instead of re turning, he proceeded to Jump up and down on the ball. Then, when the novelty of this pastime wore off, he went skirmishing In and out of the needles, which were the top of one. needle and came sliding down another. "Hooray." he shouted. "This Is sport!" All this might not have been so bad, perhaps. If the impertinent shadow had not the effontery to spring upon auntie's shoulder and start to do you know what? He started to buss in her ear! "Bus-s-e," he went, "bus-sz, buz-xz-ziz." Auntie didn't hear anything ex actly, but she began to dream that someone was sawing a log of wood right over her head. Of course, that wasn't a particularly pleasant dream and a scowl pass- The Home Kitehen By ALICE LYNN BARRY "Hooray! This u Sport!" ed over her face. As it happened. Master Frank looked up at this moment and, seeing the scowl on auntie's face, turned to the other children. "She's scowling!" he whispered excitedly, "she is, she is!" Just say "she is, she is," quick ly several times. There's a decided "zz-zzz-zz" in it, isn't there? In deed it was just like the buz-zz-zzz that Kharf was making. Auntie opened her eyes. She looked straight at little Frank, who, as chance would have it, was "zz-zz-lng" away as fast as ever. "You woke me up, you naughty boy!" cried auntie. Master Frank was very put out to receive this reprimand. Not so Knarf, who chuckled in glee. He Do Yon Know Berries? THEY'RE beginnings to "pour Into the market now straw i. , ..... . uernes, DiacK Denies, cur rants, gooseberries. Can you tell top quality at a glance? Here are a few ways: First, they should look firm and whole and Just ripe neither too much nor too little. " Strawberries should have their hulls on. In fact, wash them with the hulls on, for as soon as they are removed, juice and flavor leak away. However, all other berries should be boxed without hulls. If you see blackberries or raspber ries, etc., with their hulls, it's be cause the fruit was picked before it was ripe. When fully ripened, and ready to eat, all berries (ex cept strawberries) slip off the stem minus their hulls. Second, don't buy any box of berries if the box is stained. That means that below the top surface no matter how whole and fresh that layer may appear there are crushed decayed berries. Third, choose berries accord ing to how you mean to prepare them. For service raw. the laree berries are best, and if they are so perfectly ripened that they are sweet enough to eat "without su gar, so much the better. However, if you wish them, for preserving or cokoing, a smaller berry with less sweetness will do. Strawberries should .be a bright red color. If they are tinged with white or green they are not ripe enough to eat. The cleaner the berry, the better, and excessively no doubt heard, comes before a fall. Auntie, feeling something on her ear, gave it a vigorous rub, and off went Knarf, head over (Continued on Page 12.) Next time you won't be. so im pudent, said Hanid, helping him to his feet. "Next time I'll be worse." cried I strawberrv flavor, and triva nip. was quite proud of himself, you! the bad shadow-bov. And. st ranee , sant rink color to iha raVe il long and shiny. He climbed up to see. Pride, however, as you have to say, he was! well. sandy berries are hardly worth' buying, as they require too much soaking to clean well. Strawberries are at their best served raw, flavor and texture be ing then at their best. But all the other berries can be treated in other ways. Currants, raspberries, blackberries can be coeked, used as pie filling, served plain, stew ed, or serve as a sauce for hot or cold puddings. And gooseberries, of course, are only edible when cooked. Gooseberries should not be too green, but rather a pays yellow or amber color, and the larger they are the better. There is too much skin In comparison with pulp In the small berry. Wash berries by placing In a bowl of cold water, leaving there for a few moments and then lift ing out wtjh a lare erring fork. In this way whatever sand or bits of leaf or twi? that may be in the box will drop to the bottom of the pan and will lift out ojUy-th ' clean fruit. If possible, serve ber ries without sugar.

Raspberries, blackberries, currants, or cherries may be used. Fruit Soup Add one-quarter cup of coM water to a box of cleaned berries. Simmer slowly until tender. Then force through a culander. Set this liquid aside to cool, then place in refrigerator to chill. Just be fore serving, add one cup of whip ped sweet cream. Or what Is even more refreshing, add one cup of thick sour cream (not whipping this, of course, or you'd get but ter! ) When making a shortcake of any of the berries, a pleasant change of flavor is to add some hof the berries to the whipped cream.

She wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. Too late! When she had sat up till morning, washing her hair, polish ing her nails, finishing the dress she thought be would like so much. She reached for her hand kerchief and buried her nose In it, wiping off the powder, but what did It matter?

Out of the HEALTH DEPENDS ON CONTROL OF NERVES . . i ' t Red Nose and Other Discolorations of the Skin Often Are Indications of a Nervous System Abused by Excesses. By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. United States Senator from New York . . . . Former Commissioner of Health. Vew York CM. IT has been said that we are "fearfully and wonderfully Made." It Is Indeed true; if we were to study the brain and nervous system alone, we would .find more remarkable things than the radio and II other amazing inventions and discoveries of modern tunes. Between the brain and the spinal cord is a portion of. the nervous system known as the "medulla I UongalaVrTor - brain-stem. Without discussing other functions, one thing this region does is to regulate the nerves controlling the muscular coats of the blood vessels. Let me see if I can make clear to you how important the function really is. Tou need not be a scientist to know that if it is to do its work, the stomach must have mora blood when it is full of food than it requires when empty. How is it to get that blood . The nerve center in the medulla sends a mes- sage to the muscular coata of the blood vessels in the stomach lining. This message is an order -is it to get that blood? It is important to govern or-living In such a way as to have the nervous system well nour ished end normal in function. Then every onran of the body will be supplied with exactly the qualities of blood needed . for its immediate purposes. But this system of regulating the blood supply may be put out of order by abuse. For instance, the stomach may become congested and . era seriously inflamed by lesson otx , 'qo PlW ME.
