CHAPTER XI—Continued — 22— “Up so late, big brother? How come?” He turned from his introspec tive thoughts. “ ’Lo, Kezzie. I waited up for you. After midnight again? . . . I’ll have to look after you a bit.” If Kezia was annoyed she re strained herself. “Sorry. If I’d known you were waiting, I’d have come sooner.” “Jerry?” She nodded and tossed her beret in the air, caught it. "Chasing dewy adventure out at Brierlands.” “ Did you catch up with it?” “Yes, but found it rather dull after I did. I used to have a bet ter time-----” Hugh smiled. “You mean when things are new-----?” "You get such a zip out of them when they are new!” She sighed. “ But the boys look down on you unless you accept things with savoir faire. So you learn to do it whether you feel that way inside or not. Presently that is the way you do feel—the kick all gone!” “ ‘To get nowhere — follow the crowd!’ ” quoted Hugh. “ I’d say you were missing youth, Kezzie, when you sacrifice the kick. But I ’m an aged thirty, not competent to judge!” Kezia stood over him, ran her fingers through his hair, twisted a lock between her thumb and finger. “Got the toothache, Hughie?” she inquired softly. “No worse than usual.” A charred log broke in two, sent up a blue flame for a moment around the whitened edges. He rose, put the screen around the fire. “Time we were going to bed.” “Mother gone?” “A couple of hours ago.” “Don’t you want to sit here and talk to me?” His left eyebrow lifted. “ You can be sweet at times!” His eyelids twitched a little as he gifted at the floor. “Kezzie, about Mother . . . she had a pain in her arm before she went to bed. I rubbed it with liniment. I’m sure you could make things easier for her. She doesn’t look well; this has been hard on her. Won’t you look after her a bit? See that she doesn’t overdo? Your clothes, for instance. You really should see to them yourself.” “ Yes, I will,” promised Kezia. “And if she could sleep late, have her breakfast in bed? Couldn’t you get up and attend to the ordering and running of the house?” She gave him a dazzling smile. “ I ’ll do anything you say, darling. I know I’m careless, but I haven’t meant to be selfish.” She clasped her hands around his wrist, leaned her cheek against his sleeve. “Good,” said Hugh relieved. His opinion of Kezia ran through such infinite modifications. She was so incalculable, never twice alike. He felt a warming tender glow to ward her. “And if I do that for you, will you do something for me?” “Name it,” said Hugh without thinking. “ Will you get Jerry a decent job in your plant, something with good pay and a future to it?” Hugh gave a short laugh, drew away from her. “ Please, Hughie—please.” “So you were bargaining? Weren’t you concerned over your mother?” “That goes without saying. But this means such a lot to me—you can manage it!” “ A soft job with fat pay?” Any job at all is scarce in a steel plant. As soon ns we can manage it we take back our old men whom we laid off.” Kezia gave a deep sigh; her eyes swam in mist. “Oh, Hugh, you aren’t going to let us down? I counted on you.” “ Us?” “Certainly.” “ Don’t you see he’s using you to help himself along? He wants you to ask me, your brother, for a good position! Why doesn’t he ap ply in the regular way—go state his qualifications to Kelly Burns who has charge of that?” “ Don’t blame him. I thought of it.” “ Does he know you’re asking m e!" “ Ye-es.” H e gave a shrug. “He doesn't want a soft job,” she hurried to say. “He wants some thing with a chance at advancement —something he’ll never get where he is. “Speak to this Burns," she coaxed, "just speak to him! Won’t you do this tiny favor for me, Hugh?” He shook his head. “ No, Kezia. He's lucky to have work—if you ask me. Tell him to take good care of the job he has!" "You're heartless.” she n oaned. “ I’m going to ask Uncle John Ren shaw,” she threatened. The monotonous days of Novem ber dragged by with a preponder ance of leaden skies, of chill, of fog; church and club activities started up; orders slackened at the plant, started up on rush business, died down again. Dorrie applied for a divorce on the grounds of incompatibility. Hugh thought he was all braced C ool O rg a n d y fo r M id su m m e r D an ce for it, but it came as a shock when the papers were served on him, and again when he stared at the news paper and saw their names linked together in the public admission of defeat. His mother made cheerful con versation when he felt like talk ing, served his favorite dishes at the table. She accepted him nat urally without reference to his wife —just her son who had been away from home for a few years and had returned. Dorrie’s name never crossed her lips. Instinctively she knew the I throb which accompanies a name associated with fatality, realized that Hugh’s nerves had not grown the protective layer which would allow him to hear it without agita tion. She showed him some colored pictures of French villages in a magazine one night. “I have the wanderlust at heart, and I’ve al ways wanted to see France. Notre Dame, the Seine, the Place de la Concorde, the Bois de Boulogne— and I’ve kept up my school French by reading Anatole France and de Maupassant in the hope that I might go there some day. I’ve seen most of my own country—I had hoped that Europe would be my next adventure.” Hugh examined the pictures, not from interest, but from the wish to respond. “ It’s not impossible at B y C H E R I E N IC H O L A S 5 r \ URING midsummer moments Moaned. all—you and Kezzie might go next summer. She’d like it.” She shook her head. “I wouldn’t leave you.” “Nonsense—why not? Satisfy your wanderlust, Fluvanna!” Her eyes looked as if she were seeing distant things. “I won’t plan ahead. Time has taught me the folly of that.” “Why not plan? Would it tempt you if I said I would try to come over and bring you home?” “ Even that would be leaving you —not seeing you for a while.” She paused; her voice became almost inaudible. “These days—are pre- cious to me in a way you don’t know about, Hugh.” C H A P TE R X II Intimate With Chic when a high-registering ther mometer gives promise that torrid weather has decided to prolong its stay even to the point of trespassing on the rights of autumn then is it that dainty cool lingerie frocks swing into the spotlight in all their glory. Especially this season the craze seems not to have abated for frocks of simple, inexpensive, yet fine and lovely wash materials. The young er set adore the pretty dimities, or gandies, dotted swisses for their party frocks and when they go away to school this fall many a college- faring girl will slip one or two of her summery wash frocks into her wardrobe trunk knowing full well that she will get any amount of wear out of them ere the cool fall days come upon us. If you have never tried shadow , print organdie for your midsummer- night party frock, do it now! You j can get this lovely material in pas tels or white and it makes up beau I tifully, and best of all it costs such a trifle compared with luxury-type weaves, while it “looks a million.” The charming gown on the seated figure is made of white shadow print organdie and we venture to say when this gown dances hither and thither on the ballroom floor or under the stars at the country club it will be voted among the that it is ' prettiest. The and fact fashionably full- j picturesquely skirted makes it all the more en chanting. The corsage of flowers in realistic coloring is in gay contrast thus adding another beguiling note. Some there are who prefer stat uesque slenderizing lines rather than bouffancy. The princess gown to the left will | “You talked to him then.

There is an exquisiteness expressed which reflects the new trend toward meticulous detail such as fine hand- tucking and myriads of wee self- material covered buttons such as fasten this princess all the way down the front. Here is really a very charming way to make up organdie if you like to be outstand ing in distinctive dress. It is not only that delightsome lingerie materials are favored for party frocks but the tendency all the way through the season is to wear dainty frilly blouses in the daytime of exquisitely fine cotton sheers, also prettily feminine neck wear and beguiling accessories— jabots, ruffled halter fronts and oth er such flattering items. With the approach of fall, tailored suits are coming out in full force and the fad of the moment is to wear with them the frilliest fluttery blouses that fancy might picture. Fine hand work is lavished on the high-quality types. For these handmade blouses sheer est of fine white organdie or daintiest batiste or filmy handkerchief linen are first in favor. Popular too and heartily to be recommended are the attractive allover embroidered or gandies that are definitely practical and pretty for the making of the blouse to be worn with one’s jack- et-and-skirt tailleur. It should by all means have a sprightly frill fashioned after the manner of the model pictured in the inset to the right. Trimmed with lace edging, as is this blouse, makes the effect all the more daintily feminine and alluring. *T'HE lovely flower may have been born to blush unseen, Mi lady, but not you. Anyway, what chance could you have of going unnoticed when you wear one of these exciting new frocks by Sew- Your-Own—not the Ghost! Cool, Cool, Cool. The clever new dress at the left Is as young as you are, and in dotted Swiss you’ll be as crisp, pretty, and cool as though you bloomed always in an air-condi tioned room.

We’ve had th is one ever sin ce you bought that la st q u art o f TIGHT SLEEVES ON FROCKS FALL STYLE Quaker State!" While the designers are draping blouses, lowering waistlines a n d straightening out the hemlines of skirts they also are cutting out the fullness of sleeves. Advance autumn fashions which forecast the coming season’s mode have sleeves that are straight and tight. Absence of shoulder pleats is especially note worthy and if any fullness does ap pear it is in the form of a drapery on the forearm. Sleek satins are the fabrics which show off the new straight sleeves and slender skirts to best advance so the shiny fabrics are the first to show the changes of fashion. Look for them not only of peren nial black but flaunting such colors as bright blue and purple. Dressmaker Details That Class as Important News The continued importance of em broidery is noted. Gold embroi dery on black is much employed; also fanciful effects on the new silk frocks. Much favor is ex pressed for appliqued felt motifs on black silk crepe day dresses. Dressmakers are making use of any amount of shirring and tuck ing and they delight in scalloped and sawtooth hemlines, thus trim ming the dark silk sheers and crepes effectively. The skirts of the newest silk print frocks are frequently pleated or vertically tucked all around. Lace-Trimmed Lingerie Black lace as a trimming on lin gerie is a prominent note in the summer season’s offerings. It is contrasted with pastel shades, par ticularly blues, greens and yellows, and sometimes worn with all-black. BEFORE YOU NEED A QUART ,X, ; Don’t worry about your c a r... enjoy it.
