rvu Saturday night, almost
Sunday morning. -The first
taint light of dawn straggled
through the i dingy curtains In
'Miss Viola's parlor.
"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

"Turn around, no, not that way,
the other way! Lift up your arm,
till I see It . .mm . . .all

longer!" Viola yawned, tapping
her mouth with a t him bled finger.
"Oh, Miss Viola. I shouldn't

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.
Tou make a wonderful looking
couple, him so light, and you so
dark!

tor helping me like that. It it
means so much to me "
While the iron was heating,
Daphne went to the cretonne cur
tained closet where she kepf her
clothes, and lifted out the new tan
coat she had bought.

against It, loving It Then she got

. .Heavens! The Iron was hot

. 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!

bottle ...
She had the door open finally,

There was the long ' yellow car

She had a confused Impression

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

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

looked younger, and older too.
There were tired lines around his

She hadn't either, so they wrig

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

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

good!"
They sped along by the sea, un

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-

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

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

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. Add cream ft
desired. If fruit ! not quite good
enough to servo raw and whole, a
delicious fruit soup may be made
which is ver? refreshing on a hot
day. 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

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. A few'mashed strawberries

Let me see if I can make clear to you how
important the function really is. Tou need not

the stomach must have mora blood when it is
full of food than it requires when empty. How
is it to get that blood

a way as to have the nervous system well nour

But this system of regulating the blood supply may be put out of
order by abuse. For instance, the stomach may become congested and
