No More .Advice
IT WAS only when she wai in bed
that (he allowed horself to face
thia trouble. "Everybody In The
Street is far happier for your bav
in come,' Mac had said.
"Not everyone on The Street!"
"No, not everyone," he had
screed. "I'm not for one."
' In all her tenderly guarded life
no one had ever sail anything like
that to Brenda. It had wounded
her sorely. Mac, who had been her
friend, ra spite of their many
quarrels; Mac, who had stood by
her so staunchly all through this
business of Adelaide's illness; Mac
whom she liked and admired
Mac to tell her he was not happier
for her comingl
"And I haven't so much as put
finger tip on his affairs," she
thought, ber cheeks burning in the
darkness. "Except for the type
writer being moved and his pencils
misplaced and that was the
merest temporary inconvenience
I've not touched his life in any
way.
"But I suppose If s because he's
seen what I ve done to the others,"
she admitted. "No one least of
all a man likes a meddler. I
haven't meant to do anyone harm,"
she told herself, catching her lip
beneath her teeth to still its trem
bling. "I haven't even meant to
interfere at all. I came here to
work to mind my own business.
And instead "
But the insteads were so manv
and so accusing that she could not
bear to think about them. Sleep
claimed her like a grieving child.
In 1 tew weeks, Adelaide was
fully recovered She was ss a mat

in years, she said. She had ac
quired a new briskness of manner.

had not disappeared, still called
lortn admiring comment
Discovering the plan by which
bobel had arranged the meals,
Adelaide did her best to adopt it.
Each evening she msde out the
menus for the next dsy; the gro
cery order. To be sure, the scraps
' paper wnicn ane lnsisieo on us
ing were frequently lost; and even
if they were not. Grenadine was
pt to grumble at one or more
of the dishes Adelaide asked for;
but on the whole the housekeeping
ran more smoothly because of Iso-
oei s Drier reign.
Brenda was working AnaoeAW
at her book, "looking neither to
me leu nor to tne right, either!
as she herself said. "I've had
enougn 01 trying to help people,
from now on I'm going to keep in
mind that firm that made a fortune
lenaing to its own affairs.
No More Quarrels
IN VAIN did bobel ask her ad-
vice about the new man who had
eome into her life: the tenor whom
she. had met at the broadcasting
station and whose accompaniment
she had played in an emergency.
He had liked her work so much
that he asked her to play for him
often. Presently flowers began to
arrive for Miss Burke with grati
fying regularity.
"But two musicians In one fam
ily!" Isobel protested. "A tenor's
to apt te be conceited, too, don't
you think? Not that Gage is,"
she added hastily. "He honestly
doesn't realise how good his voice
is. how popular he's getting to be.
What do you think about it,
Brenda?"
Two months sgo Brenda would
have leaped eagerly into the affair,
scattering advice in all directions.
She would have tortured herself
by wondering If this romance
would break Mac's heart; would
have set herself to discover the
state of his sffection. and ruth
lessly returned Isobel to him if he
wished her to be returned. Now
she said milHIy:
"It's something you'll have to
decide for yourself. Isobel. I don't
even know the man."
"You've met him several times!"
"But that's not knowing him."
replied this ntwer and wiser
Brenda. "One has to be acquainted
with people a long time, and in
timately, before one knows them
if ever."
Isobel gave a confident little
smile. "I knew Gage from the mo
ment I met him!"
Brenda was free now to drop In
to Hughe studio whenever she
wished. Even the exigent Miss Or
mond was forced to admit that a
wife was an entirely adequate
chaperon, more especially when
that wife was rapidly becoming
Brenda's closest friend.
"Because no matter what you
say," said Linda, "it was you who
brought me back to my Hugh. No,

rible mistakes you think you've
made here. The plain truth is. my
lamb, that in this state Hugh could
have divorced me for desertion if
he'd wanted to. Will you believe
I didn't know that until tutt the
last week or so in New York?"
"Nonsense! You know he'd never
have done It!"
"I'm not so sure, ' was the sober
reply. "Hugh can be burt and then
angry just so long; then he simply
goes away in his mind from the
person or subject that has dis-
fileased him. If he'd gone away
rom me!" She shuddered.
Brenda's somber eyes did not
brighten. "It might easily have
been that my meddling frightened
you awayl I can't understand,
looking back at it now, how I can
have been such an obnoxious little
fool."
"You weren't a fool, and you
couldn't be obnoxious if you tried!
You came here, a Burnham, and
everybody on The Street simply
dumped their troubles in your lap,
and like the sweet child you are,
you did your best to help. And In
most cases, you did heln. too! Look
at the Wicks! Look at Mrs. Arnold,
so delighted that Dorothy's short
hair is unbecoming that she's giv
ing the girl more liberty than she
has in years. The twins and Ned
Barrow are simnly ecstatic over
the greenhouse. Even the Ponson
bys are brightened u- by their re
cent labors in Adelaide's behalf.
So cheer up, my dear, and give
those dimples of yours a little ex
ercise else they'll forget how to
twinkle!"
But Brenda only smiled absent
ly and murmured something about
getting back to her work.
"You and Mac are better friends
than you used to be, aren't you?"
Adelaide had asked that morning.
"I'm so gladl You never quarrel
any more."
No Gay Teasing
MO, THEY never quarreled any
!'more. Mac inquired politely
how her work had gone, she
evinced a courteous interest in the
advertising business But between
them there rose every day a wall,
composed of impersonalities, ce

rages on -Brenda's They might
have been strangers, a trifle over
considerate of each other's feel

ahsorbed in her tenor to be ob
servant; only the sharp-eyed Eric
noticed, and presently took Bren
da to task.
"What's the matter with you and
Mac? He detainee her as she
started up the stairs one evening
when Isobel had driven away with
Mac. "Been fighting?"
"Certainly not."
"Why not?"
She was not too subdued to raise
Ironical brows at this question.
"Why should we?" .
"You used to from the first
hour you met. as I remember.
What happened? No, you don't,
my dear!" He Intercepted her as
she staYted again for the hall.
"You don't evade me lilt thai

grinning cheerfully.

ARMIES ON SKIES
Strange as it seems, ski warfare in Norway and Finland Is not new. II has a history going
back 740 years to 1200 A.D.. when ski patrols of King Sverra of Norway were instrumental in
winning a victory near Oslo.
In 1806 ski ticks were titled with bayonets by a Swedish captain. So equipped, Swedes
and Finns fought Russia in the Finnish War of 1808-1809, strangely similar to the recent win
ter campaign. Even then, Russia's plan was to cut Finland in two, which she succeeded ia
doing .Af after meeting temporary overwhelming resistance near Suomussalmi, as in 1940.
