I get $50 a week; we can scramble along on that” Sara's chin lifted arrogantly. “My dear boy, | don't propose to scramble along. We are going to begin right. No trying to manage with a one-room and kitchenette apartment. Why, boy, we'd get on each other's nerves san- dalously, I earn one-seventy-tive a month with my teaching and if we each put in one hundred toward lv. ing we will be existing in a sane fash. jon.” “And how?’ he sald gloomily. “We'll live In an apartment hotel There'll be no work beyond tossing up an impromptu breakfast when we feel like it. In a place like that the malds come in and do up all the cleaning and the gas and light and ice are In- cinded with the rent—" “And that is as much or more than the payments on a bungalow.” “Yes,” she agreed lightly, her green- gray eyes sparkling with anticipation, “but Denny boy, we won't be out in the sticks shoveling snow and worry- ing over the coal bill, We'll be right down among the bright lights and In the whirl” “Most girls Sara.” “Not this one” saucily Sara's red curls tossed. “Sometimes | think you are a throwback, you know-—mid-Vie- torian and all that.

Just as well as sou are going on working, we'll have more to spend.” As the wedding day approached, Denny grew a bit casual In his man. ner and when Sara taxed him with reluctance he sald frankly: “I've been spending a little freely and I'm afraid we'll have to put off our wedding an until 1 get the rent to- showed were sound he, “That's we'l Eo —_ " forget, laughed. had “Nope. other month gether.” Trying to hide her anger. Sara In- differently agreed, knowing that this wane an excuse as Dennis had $5,000 invested in bonds, Then at a dance Sara heard Dennis Iapghing with a very pretty girl In a daring frock. “Yes, indeedy, Vera, you don't need to mark off my name from your list of partners just because I'm taking the fatal leap. Sara Is very modern and we'll each live as we choose.” “You mean you'll take other girls out dancing if you like?” Vera lifted amazed eyes, “lan’t that a peach of a way to ar- range things? We're going to live In an apartment hotel and have no cares. Nothing but the froth of life.” “Doesn't sound so good to me,” sald the girl frankly. “When 1 quit the stage to marry I'll want a little home of my own and all the trimmings.” Sara listened angrily. She was sit. tine near them, In plain sight, ag she waited for her partner to bring her something cool. They didn’t even low- er their tones, these twd who planned to go out together after Dennis had married her, “So that girl 1a an actress?” gald Sara, with an unwise flash In’ her green-gray eyes, later, “Yes: she's the butterfly girl In the ‘Diamond Forest. She's a wonder, too, Bright as they make ‘em.” The faint coolness between the two engaged ones deepened and for three nights Dennis had failed to telephone Sara. Hurt and grieved, Sara began to ponder over the wiseness of the lines she'd lald out for married life, The great brown eyes of the musical comedy butterfly, Vera, seemed to haunt her and she began to contrast her own average prettiness with the undeniable pulchritude of the actress. In short, Sats began to look at life gancly. " At Inst, on the fourth lonely night, she threw her pride to the four winds and telephoned to Dennis, His mother answered. “Oh, you, Sera? Dennis is out, The boy has been acting strange- ly lately. You two haven't broken your engagement, have you?" Sara's heart thudded at the cool query. She knew that the other dis- approved of Sara's attitude toward marringe, but—to ask if they'd brok- en off—Sara felt she could more eas- ily tear her heart out than to give up the lovable Denny. “No, no, indeed. Do you know where he went?” “He's been running over to June's a good deal. June is such a nice, do- mestic girl, She says that when she marries she's going to start right In in her own home If it Isn't more than a four-room cottage. June has the right iden. It's pretty hard to hold a man these days, anyway, but if a wife has a cozy home she Is weaving a spell that in time becomes a habit and—pardon me, Sara, for boring you like this. I'd forgotten your views on fife and your determination to ex- tract every bit of fun possible, Den- nis has been reared in an old-fash- toned home where love is the supreme consideration.” “But I do love him,” protested Sara The lines had become confused, though, and Sara received no answer, . * * ® . . * “Denny,” began Sara, twisting her napkin embarrassedly at luncheon next day, “I—I've changed my mind.” “Tired of me,” stralghtly the Irish blue eyes met the dewy gray-green ones.’ “Want more than you're getting?” “No, I don't. I want to find a bun- galow and make a payment down at once before we've squandered our sav- ings. I want to give up my job and begin making linens and sofa pillows. There's nothing to this jazz stuff, Den- ny, and I'm tired of dancing. I want to start a real home—with—you." “Snow and coal bills? We'd have to go far out and theater trains are slow. You'll spoil your nails cooking, for, with Installments, we can't downtown very often. You mustn't make any mistake, Sara. AS we start is the way we'll continue. Nights out for each of us or books and a little home nights. Which Is it to be?” “Home,” sald Sara decisively, and, because she was seeing mentally that home, she failed to the Jolly twinkle in the eyes of Dennis.

This food seems to have become particularily with Shrove Tuesday, because the people desired to use up what grease, lard and similar associated forbidden food they had on hand. Carnivals and pageants still charac- terize Mardi Gras In many Catholle cities in Europe. Several cities in the United States also observe the day In like fashion, and In two or three states Mardi Gras is a legal holiday. The pageant on Mardi Gras at New Orleans was introduced by the French popula- tion. Ithough pageants were given as early as 1827, it was not until 30 years later that the distinctive cere- monies now associated with the day were introduced. An elaborate street parade and pageant, accompanied by frolicking and merrymaking, is spon- gored by clvie organizations and the city is on that day ostensibly placed under the control of the king of the carnival. The expensive program is pot given every year, but the carnl- val is held annually. —Pathfinder Mag- azine, Land Divisions From the point of view of physical geography, Europe Is merely a di- vision or peninsula of the large land mass or continent of Eurasian, How- ever, long-established custom and his- tory, particularly with regard to the development of civilizations, regard Europe and Asia, as separate con- tinents. The ancient Greek philoso- phers divided the world they knew into Europe, Asia and Libya or Afri ca, separated from each other by the Mediterranean, the Red sea and the Don or some other river flowing into the Black sea. While knowledge of the shape and structure of the earth's surface has Increased greatly since that time, these names of land di visions have persisted. Build Healthy Bones The structure of the teeth is affected by the amount of lime and of vitamine C present in the diet. A food supply containing ample amounts of vitamine C, lime, magne- siam, phosphorus and nitrogen is sure to build sound healthy muscles and bones, The teeth are part of the bony strue- ture of the body and in order to in- sure good teeth see that plenty of milk, oranges, tomatoes, lemons, and eab bage are used. These foods are espe elally rich in vitamine C and in the minerals mentioned. Consider Colors, Advises Stylist Have Definite Scheme for Each Complete Ward- robe; Stick to It.
