schoo,. Earned my board and
keep, as they say, helping on the
farm. Suddenly he swung around
to Diane. ‘Why I'm telling all this
0 you is beyond my understand
ing!”
But I’m glad,” Diane said,
simply, warmly. "You didn’t like
me when you first met me. But
you must, now, to tell me—”
He gave her a sharp glance
which softened the next moment
into a wide smile. “No, 1 didn’t
like you I thought you were, well,
weasel egg type, 1 call it, all shell
and no meat, inside, and Bill
crazy to fall for you."
‘ And, please, what changed
your opinion?”
She said it with laughing mock
ery, but he appeared to give her
question sober consideration.
“That’s hard to say. 1 think it
was that night 1 met you on the
street. You looked so darn small
and alone. And yet you had your
chin up. I decided you had cour
age. I guess 1 admire that quality
when I meet it, more than any
ether.”
Diane was beginning, a little
confusedly: “I’m not so sure—”
when Vicky called to them. She
was coming toward them. “Hey,
you two, come back to earth!
Ross has called twice for you!”
Rufus got to his feet, put his
hand out to Diane. “1 can trust
you with my dark past?”
“Of coarse! But Bill would have
told me sometime, wouldn’t he?”
“Bill doesn’t know. He thinks I
lived all my life on that farm.
That Aunt Mat and Uncle Ben, as
1 call them, are the only folks I
have.”
That was the background that
was too different from Page’s!
"But you’ll tell—” She was go
ing to say Page when Rufus cut
her off.
“No one. It doesn’t concern any
one. My uncle has it in writing
that I’ll not inherit a penny of
his. Thank God for that! And the
others have washed their hands of
me.”
Vicky joined them. “What’s the
idea of this coziness, Di?” she re
proached.
Back on the terrace Diane’s
eyes shone with the pleasure she
felt in Rufus giving her his confi
dence. Thinking of it, treasuring
it, she went through her part in
the next scene so abstractedly
that Ross reproached her. “I
didn't think I had to tell you any
thing twice, Di!”
They came to the closing scene.
“You’re the big lover, now, Kent,”
reminded Ross.
The others stood *n a little cir
cle, watching, smiling.
A warm color flew to Dime’s
face as Rufus obediently put his
arms about her and bent his own
face to hers.

”1 couldn’t have done better,”
commented Dannj loudly, “given
a chance.” And no one could say
whether the laughter was at
Danny or for a relish in the situ
ation.
Ross called it a day and they
moved toward the clubhouse, Di
ane and Rufus a little behind the
others. “Can’t you stay for a
swim? ’ she asked. "You can bor
row a suit.” The rest of them
might not go in; she and Rufus
would have the pool to them
selves; they’d swim and then sit
at the side and talk, more. She
wanted him to tell her more of
himself. “You’ve earned that
much, haven’t you?”
His thick brows drew togetner.
“I wonder,” he answered shortly.
He went a little way in silence,
then said with abruptness: “I
stopped in at the trial today. They
had Staples on the stand. Got
some pretty damaging evidence
out A him!”
She was startled, too confused
to grasp his meaning at once.
“Well, what—”
“May not go so well for Bill."
They had come to the clubhouse
steps and there was no rhance
for Diane to ask him more about
it. The others were urging Rufus
to hang ’round awhile; Rufus was
declining. In another moment he
was gone.
They ordered iced drinks and
over them they talked of Danny’s
party. When it would be, and
where. With some pride Danny
put forward an idea. How d it be
if he took Gus Schultz’ showboat
for an evening?
They all knew Schultz’ show
boat. It haj been moored for two
summers at the foot of Water
Street, a big, flat-bottomed, gaudi
ly-painted hull, hung with rain
washed bunting.
They knew, too. that a few
weeks back it had been closed by
order of the police. But Danny
knew Gus Schultz. He’d spoken to
Gus about using it and Gus had
said it’d be all right, it was ms
home and he had a right to have
his friends there.
Each one of them had homes to
open for the party but, neverthe
less, they clutched at the dubious
hospitality Gus Schultz offered.
“Heavenly,” cried Lois, extrava
gantly. “I’ve been simply dying to
see the inside of that place! Whom
will we invite?”
Quite as a matter of course they
took it out of Danny’s hands.
“Bill,” said Lois, looking toward
Diane.
“Page,” added Wilma, letting
her glance rake Diane amusedly.
Diane did not hear them; she
had only half heard their plans of
going to the showboat. She was
sunk in remorse. The trial wasn’t
going so. well for Bill! .He d asked
her to hold good thoughts for it
and, except to hate the whole
thing, all she’d thought was to
wish, secretly, that he’d be beaten
in it. She regretted that now as
sharply as though it had put
on Staples’ lips the testimony
that was damaging to Bill. That
was the kind of helpmate she
was!
But at last Vicky’s high-pitched
voice broke into her preoccupa
tion. Vicky was saying: “You
know I think that Kent man s a
pet. I could love him madly if
Diane hadn’t gotten to first base
before me!”
Diane sat straight in her chair,
to stare incredulously at Vicky for
a moment. The next, a cold anger
rushed over her. First base with
Rufus Kent! She saw the others
smiling, as though they thought
Vicky’(j said something very fun
ny; she saw a familiar excitement
on’their faces. They were all set
to be entertained by an affair be
tween her and Rufus!
She put her half-emptied glass
down on the table, got to her feet.
A protest lifted. “Di, you’re not
going!” , .
“Yes. I’ve a man wno must
have his dinner.” Her eyes, dan
gerously dark, dared them to
laugh.
They dia not laugh. Ross said,
hurriedly: -’Well, I’ll let you know
when we shoot, Di.” Lois said:
“’By, toots,” but not flippantly
enough to cover some nervous
ness. Vicky and Wilma murmured
something unintelligible.
Danny followed Diane to the
steps, linked his arm through
hers. “Don't get sore.” he urged
when they were out of the others
hearing. “You know what a coot
Vicky is, sometimes. ’
She did not answer him. She got
into her car, siammed the door
and swung it out into the drive.
The car went a little crazily from
one side of the road to the other
because her fury was blinding her
and her hands on the wheel shak
ing. “1 never want to see one of
them again!”

RED CROSS RESUMES
WAR-TIME SERVICES
The American Red Cross has
now resumed the war-time ser
vice of aiding persons in the Unit
ed States to locate civilians in
foreign countries, Thomas R. Or
rell, president of the local chap
ter, announced yesterday.
The service was offered during
the war, but was halted shortly af
ter hostilities. Inquiries will now
be accepted by the local Red Cross
chapter from relative, or friends
of the "missing person” in every
country except Ge many, it was
said. Arrangements have not yet
been completed for extending the
service to that country.
“Application for the service
should be made only after the In
quirer’s own efforts to communi
cate dericetly with the person
sc ;ght have brought no reply by
the end of three months’ ”, Or
rell said.
“The American Red Cross can
not guarantee results in under
taking this service, nor does it
wish in any way to give the im
pression ' that its service will be
better than that which is being
given by refugee agencies in this
and other countries.
“Every effort will be made to
give effective service or to refer
the inquirer to any other agency
whose service may be more ap
propriate to his particular re
quest,” Orrel] said.

MAY WE
SUGGEST
Iced tea days are here again.
Don’t forget—the best flavored
drink is made from freshly
brewed tea poured over plenty of
ice. Tea that’s cooled before icing
will be muddy and less flavorfnl.
For company occasions, spiced
iced tea is a delicious variation.
Add cinnamon sticks, sugar, and
a very few cloves to the tea as
it brews. Serve the iced tea with
a garnish of lemon or limes. In
cidentally, limes are a pleasant
change from lemons with iced
tea.
There’s always a new story on
egg cookery, and right now is a
good time to think about eggs.
They’re more plentiful, and the
price has dropped.
To get the best results with
eggs—cook ’em gently. Even,
moderate heat is the secret of
cooking tender eggs. Beware the
high flame!
For versatility, eggs take a
bow . . . three meals a day. For
luncheon salad, add a little
grated tuna fish to the filling for
deviled eggs. Serve with potato
chips, tomato slices, hot rolls.
