6TAKT THIS SIOKY TODAY
WHEN the meal wns half over, Ruth
said suddenly, "I wonder it that
man Is still about?"
"For heaven's sake, arc you still
worrying nbout that?" Scott said
scathingly.
, "Go out and look, Scott, will jou?"
lluth naked without nnwering IiIr
'question, "and try the Whittnorcs' door
again."
"I will not. What's the use ot doing
that? Hither Ilita is out or she doesn't
want to sec us."
"Oh, you will admit that last possi
bility," taunted Until. """SVidl. I'm
going to sec, anywaj. The thing is on
my nerves,
lluth stood over her and insisted thnt
she drink eery drop. T.cry time that
Itlfn would attempt anj thing, lluth
would silence her until finnllv with a
fsigh llitn handed her the impty cup
and saucer. A faint pink had come into
her face, nnd she seemed less tense. She
wns eager to tnlk.
"I've got to leave before morning,"
she burst out.
"What do jou menn?"
"I was simply waiting for that hor
rible ninn to leae so thnt I could get
away." Hita explained in n half whisper
thfct wns awful. "Will jou stnnd by
me lluth, will jou help me?"
What nwful thing wns this that llltn
meant by her half conlidencc? Whnt
could she mean by this prnjer to stand
Kutli tiptoed to the door nnd opened b h" "1 "'? lcr? Again that chilling
it suddenly. She did it nil so quickly
thnt the person who wns stnndlng in
the hall leaning over the bnnisters had
no time to draw back. It wns llltn.
in n klmonp nnd with her hair all wild
about her face ns though fclic had pushed
it bnck any number of times. Her eyes
were wild nnd her face chalky white.
Ruth had never seen her look so bndh.
Gone now were nil her pretty Mrs nnd
graces, tho fnsclnntlng little manner
that she adopted toward all men was
forgotten. She was just a woman now,
terrified by some imminent danger.
llltn drew back almost to the partlj
opened door nnd looked at lluth.
"I wanted to see if be were still out
there, she whispered finally.
"Whv didn't T.ou answer the tele
phone?" accused Ruth.
"I couldn't, I wns afraid he Oiild
listen nnd hear me tnlk."
"What is it, Rita, tell me. He's
gone, I'm sure of it. Let me help jou,
won't jou?"
Rita looked fearsome j down the
stairs and then turned back to Ruth
nnd beckoned her into the npnrtment.
Ruth drew back. Somehow she hated
to go in there. This mysteiy thnt sur
rounded the Whitmores had somehow
erected a bnrrier between the two fain
illcs, nnd yet Ruth felt ashamed of
this feeling and forced herself to follow
nita into the darkened place. The
Whitmores' npnrtment had always been
dimly lighted. Rita loed dim lights,
she affected that kind of nu atmosphere,
but tonight the plncc looked (hill nnd
dark. Ruth imoluntnrilj shUcred nnd
her toiec dropped to n whisper as she
said to Rita :
"Arc jou alono? Where is Dan?"
"lie's out of town."
"Hut I snw him this morning," Ruth
burst out.
"He left this nfteruoon "
"When will be bo back?"
"He Isn't coming back."
Rutli, who had dropped into one of
the big chnirs, started up and exclaimed
Imoluntnrily repeating after Ritn. "He
isn't coming back," in incredulous
tones.
"Uitn whnt do jou mean?"
Rita's fingers were clenched in her
lap, her knees ns she sat there bhook
conuihheh nnd her teeth chattered.
She lighted n cigarette and tried to
smoke it, but she was so nervous that
it almost dropped out of her fingers.
Ruth jumped up. "See here," she snid
in her .comforting matter-of-fact tone
of voice that she had used with Alice.
"You're nil upset, nnd I'm going to
fix you home hot milk. Here, let me fix
jou up here on the couch."
"0, no I couldn't lie down,",, Rita
protested.
"Well staj here n minute just till I
can heat the nnlk-for jou." And Ruth
with the knowledge born of many eve
nings spent with the Whitmores, hurried
out to the kitchen, found the milk in
the top of the ice box, poured some in
a pan and lighted the burner.
When she carried the steaming cup
in to Rita, she found the girl still hud
dled up in the chair.

Adventures
With a Purse
CIIOCHKTIXO is, fascinating, knit
ting is absorbing, but, after nil,
nothing can take the plnce of embrold
eiing. When I pick up n piece of em
broidery, I am at peace with the world.
Well, for those who think the same
as I do on this subject nnd T will
allow thnt some there may be who care
more for some other of the "indoor
arts" I have found some engrossing
pieces of embroidery. I first picked up
a henvj, linen finish luncheon cover
priced nt SI. 25. The sample piece al
ready embroidered in heavy French knots
of old blue and edged with n fringe wns
most effective. Then I Baw bureau
scarfs, pillow covers nnd even most
stunning bed spreads. One could have
an entire bedroom set of this striking
design. And being of French knots,
one could finish them in short order.
"Add n tenRpnonful of this and a tea
spoonful of thnt," reads the recipe,
"mix in n large bowl, and in n sepaiate
bowl, etc., etc.," all of which necessi
tates n number of mixing bowls. One
shop has sets of mixing bowls in six
different sires those brown, home) -looking
bowls jou can remember your
mothers having used, and they hae
been specially priced nt $1.30 for the
set. The) are valued, however, nt $2
And so the) nrc a real bargain.
If you havp ever ricd to pick up1 a
latge piece of ice, if you have ever
dropped it prccipltntelj , being obliged to
choose between thnt and frozen hands,
jou will be glad to henr about the ice
grips I discovered todaj. The) remind
one somehow of large sbed castanets
with teetli on the sides. You clap them
against the ice and while the teeth
enable jou to-get a good firm hold, the
metal protects jour hands from the ke.
Costing onl) twenty-five cents, the)
make n verj comforting addition to the
Mtchen equipment.

ticles mentioned in "Adventures
With a Purse" can be purchased,

The nil white hats of this season dif
