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.

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, seni up a blue flame for a moment arounu 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. be sweet at times!"

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 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."

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. take back our old men whom we laid off.” Kezia gave a deep sigh; swam in mist. ‘Oh, Hugh, aren't going to let us down?

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 moaned. “I'm going to ask Uncle John Ren- shaw,” she threatened.

The car crossed a bridge with a rattling of planks and made a rath- er chugging progress up a hill “Cousin Gavin probably would have taken you in his bank,” said Kezia reflectively. “Didn't Lizzie say he would?” “Once,” admitted Jerry. “Until I threw the cat in the electric fan!” teased Kezia. “Woman,” cried Jerry with ve- hemence, “I'll—kiss you!” He suit- ed the action to the word swiftly. “Now will you be quiet?” “Like a mice!” She laughed and leaned possessively against his shoulder. Jerry's voice came to her with seductive sweetness above the roar of the noisy engine. “It's you, gorgeous, I'm thinking of.

Seriously is this is a fact the new silk prints are that intriguing and alluring we have known it to be a fact that certain particularly attractive paiterns are unpacked, priced and displayed in the morning and by nightfall they are sold, not even a remnant left to tell the tale.

They portray ideas, they entertain, they amuse. Some of the better high- class silk prints even go by name as an artist would entitle a picture which makes them all the more in- teresting. There is, for example, a clever looking new silk print called “film modes.” The French love of American films inspired Schiaparelli to design this amusing print with the names of famous stars printed on colorful scrolls simulating cin- ema film. The attractive daytime frock centered in the illustration herewith is made of this star-en- scrolled silk print, being peacock blue and coral on black.

With the flood of holiday parties women seem always to wear little hats, oftenest of felt, with double veils floating over their faces. And that is the preferred position for the filmy things for lunch time, too. Cocktail parties give a divided allegiance to veils, them over the face, but many draped over the back of the hat, making a frame for the face. Particularly amusing is one of Therese Peter's new cre- ations. The tiny pointed skull cap— for it is actually that-—is of hand- knitted gold thread. Two tiny feather nightingales ornament it at either side of the front, and hold the veil which is also embroidered in night ingales and sweeps back over the entire hat, hanging almost to the shoulders. Violette Marsan, who is definitely a partisan of the small hat dipping a bit over the forehead, prefers her veils to be quite stiffened so that they may be turned back from the face or extended out from the face. These are shorter, not extending beyond the nose. some of Co-Eds Bring Ear Muffs Back Into Fashion Again When you hear a girl talking about getting out her ear muffs, don’t think that this is the key line of a joke.
