A False Face

By E. (. Buloy

CKAPTEB XIV Continued

"I am afraid I must say good night to you now, Mr. smith," Marcia said. "Both my aunt and I are feeling tired and in need of rest. We yearn for the luxury of I long sleep."

"It has been a great pleasure," Smith said. "May I dare to hope

. . ?" "When you come to England, if you ever should," said Miss De- borah, taking it upon herself to answer. "we should both be glad to know. We might be able to show you something of English country life, at Brookridge."

"Yes, do not forget to write," Marcia supplemented. "We are returning next Monday. I want to see the Grand Prix; and then my aunts patience will be ex- hausted."

"I may see you there." Smith said. "But I shall certainly write; and I shall not delay my start for England long now.",

He bent over Miss Deborah's hand and then over )lai'cia's, and carelessly offered his left hand to Basil; a proffer which that young man studiously ignored. They re- turned to their hotel in silence, and Marcia hurried to her room. She wanted to be alone, and think over what had happened.

The incredible event. in her life had been her breach with Peter Merchant, followed so swiftly by the report of his mysterious and discreditible end. She had always found that incident so far beyond belief that she had given up puz- cling over it; for her doubts, while she entertained them, had reduced her to a nervous wreck.

But now she marshalled facts, as she knew them, once more. Peter Marchant was not a lover who had come unknown into her life, and assumed a sudden importance in it. They had been children together, and she knew Peter as she might have known her brother. if she had ever had one. She had loved Peter Mar- chant for qualities in the boy and man which she had proved; and now realised that no other love could take the place of that which she had lost.

Nothing had ever come between them, except Miarcials wealth and Peter's pride. Marcia had calcul- ated upon love mastering pride, when she had travelled in haste to New York and laid her alterna- tive before Marchant. Her cal- culations may have been incor- rect; but it was still impossible for her to think that her action had driven Peter to behave as he was supposed to have done.

Besides, Marcia had watched the passengers landing at Cherbourg from the "Berliiiin," and she was sure that Mai-chant had not been among those who had left the boat. She was still more sure that he had not left the boat at South- ampton. When she really thought about it in detail, she was always confronted with the conclusion that Peter had never sailed on the "8erlini'a" at all.

In her heart of hearts' that is what Marcia really believed. A man had occupied the cabin which she had reserved for Marcahnt; and she supposed he must have done so with Peter Merchants connivance. She was always ex- pecting to receive a letter from America with the news that Peter had established himself there suc- ceesfully. Sometimes she dreaded luch a letter; but there were times when she longed for it.

And now,- after the passage of six months. she faced the impossi- bility of forgetting. The chance encounter with a stranger who sang to her during a dance- which might be a common enough trick, for all she knew-had re- vived all the painful associations which she had tried to drive out of her mind. And there was one

. How can I take proper care of the carpet sweeper?

A. Be Sure. when cleaning the carpet sweeper, to cut all the lint and hair from the brushes. After the boxes have been emptied, wipe them out with a cloth dipped in kerosene. and also rub some of the oil over the bristles of the brushes: this will prevent dust from rising while sweeping.

to disipate the fantastic ideas to which she was yielding.

The man who had danced with her on the ”Berlinia" was of course. Oswald strang. the cinema actor. But she had to prove it to herself beyond any shadow of doubt. Before she retired. Marcia rang up Basil Tobin at his hotel, and was fortunate enough to catch him in his room.

"I want a picture of that cinema Ml-01'. Oswald Strong, Basil." she said. "see if you can get a full- length picture for me ln the morn- ins and bring it to the hotel."

"Nothing easier," Basil promised. "They are all over the shop."

And, in the morning, he arrived in good time with the promised photograph. Marcia uttered a cry of dismay as soon as she set eyes upon it.

Mm Helen Muttart, R. N.. was bridesmaid and wore a gown of green taffeta with matching tur- ban and mitts. and carried a bou- quet of pink roses Mr. Harry Noonan, brother of the bride. was groomsman.

Following the ceremony, a re- ception was held at the "Dutch Sisters Inn" and breakfast was served to a number of guests. The wedding table was decorated - with a three tier wedding cake and centered with gladioli.

Q. Who goes first down the aisle of a motion picture theater, the man or the girl?

The girl precedes. And unless the man she is within her husband. fiance. or someone she knows real well, she should turn to him and ask, "Is this all right?" This gives him a chance-should he be near or far-sighted -- to suggest a seat that is closer or further away.

A. Cut across in half, out the sections free and remove the div- idlng skin and seeds.then put sugar lnto it and allow to stand for an hour or so.

Q. Is it proper to write notes of condolence on the typewriter?

A. No. This type of note will ex- pi-esa more thoughtfulness and sym- pathy if it is written by hand.

Some people think I'm foolish to continue going with him, but we are very fond of each other. I am 17 and he is 19. I enjoy the things we do together. and am sure I'll continue liking them. -

ANSWER: You are fortunate to have such a fine friend and, since

ynii are satisfied with your relationship, it would be ridiculous to heed the advice of others. 4 DEAR MISS DIX: I was married at 19 and divorced at 22. For sometime I wouldn't go out with a man, but I met Tom and liked hlm.quite a bit. He loves me and wants to marry me next summer. He is a fine person. but the problem comes in with another man- Dave. He is the one I really love and he loves me, but since Tom has been so nice to me. how can I tell him I am in love with some- one else?

ANSWER: That is one of the most difficult things anyone can do-'to hurt someone who has never given anything but kindness and

Affection. In A case like yours, however. the kindest thing to do in break the news soon. The longer it is postponed, the more Tom will be hurt. Tell him directly. as soon as possible.

And now do December-'a spend themselves quickly; and a. year flex wings and prepare to wing sway-a December so lovely as to endear better its name if that could be, hallowed month that it is! How delightful have been the days! How enchanting the momingd. calm and mild, or frosted -- crisp and clear, the sky rose-peai-led above a near hill.

Fresh and still and full of that subtle charm which to us a new day ever brings. Its mystery in- trigues us. What lies in the hours ahead? Smiles? Tears? What shall be required of us? How shall we meet their vicissitudes? shall we "be strong?" And what of our ad- ventui-es?' where shall w,e,look to find our excitement? Surely not about our humble interests of day? Rather should we not go far and ever away out of sight and sound of those we have known for so long? . , Beyond that horizon it may be . over there, where the silver- blue of a sky tinted now with the reflected glory of the sunrise comes down to touch the very chimneys of a house-top. Past that over the rim of our world, there perhaps excitement might lie in new endeavours, and un- familiar scenes? There in the fret and dance of a busy, mad world

ness of home. . "Home!" a light- of-heart laughed to us with I touch of pity in his tone one sum- mer evening of the long ago when his restless itching hoof was tak- ing him always away from his in search of his happiness. "Why, there's no fun there!" "Perhaps not," James returned, "but I'm afraid if you can't find it there. you're going to have quite 5 search to find it anywhere elsei" "And." he continued, "when you've exhausted every so-called pleasure, when you have eaten and drunk' your fill and you be- come old and broken and disillu- sioned from your searching, where does a fellow turn? Home of course," James answered his own question. "Because there's no place else. And it's a strange thing." he smiled "usually no. place else willyhave you!"

And where shall we look for those surprises which continue to make life all in all, one grand ad- venture? We on farms have no lack of sites and scenes.
