Like in "Grand Hotel" these passengers offer a study in human actions and re- actions which unconsciously bare their souls. . These characters are aboard the ship: Macduff, dour Scotchman, single, of middle age; Miss Mudge, school teacher, spending the savings of 20 years; Angela, faithful wife of Lovat, gigolo; Dick harlton, first offi- cer; Clare, a person of experi- ence; Joan, a dissipated flapper; Jenny, run-away wife, and Peter; Captain Baring, master of the ship . . . and his soul. . . NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER IX Stealthily Joan started toward Dick's stateroom, then stopped to survey the situation. The rotunda was rather wavery tonight. She dawdled among the plants, dipping her fingers in the water. She must remember sometime to catch a goldfish and take it to her room. Mr. Stein had told her that he had put one in his pocket, and it had wiggled so much that he had flung Jt overboard into the sea. Joan laughed out loud, She liked peo- ple who did things like that. Joan moved slowly away from the foun- tain and knocked at Dick's door. It was opened at once, but not in a friendly way.

Let me in." Dick looked down the corridor; he was annoyed. "All right, then, come in, bul you've no business to come here. I've, told you so repeatedly." Joan straightened up. "Don't "be ridiculous, Dick," she told him, solemnly. "I can't think why you're so severe. You're not cut out to be a reformer.' She walked in, ignoring his frowning brows, and seated her- self on the sofa. Taking her time about it, she crossed her legs and lit a cigarette. "Got any brandy?' she asked. "Yes," said Dick, shortly. "Want some?" He poured out two liqueurs and drank his own "in sips. . "Why aren't you crossing In- dia?" he asked her. "Because I didn't want to." What did she mean by that? He watched her thoughtfully. *Tell me about yourself, Joan," he said, abruptly. All About Yourself "Tell you what?" "Oh, everything--who you are, what you are, why you are? Don't think me rude, I'm interested." " "Do you care, really?" "I'd like to know. It might help me to understand you." "Old Southern family, boarding- schools, beaux, plenty of money one day, and not a sou the next," said Joan, flippantly. "And love in abundance, if that's what you choose to call it. It's been hectic enough, but not very satisfying." Dick watched the pulse that throbbed in her throat, the ripe- ness of her lips, her disordered red hair, the shadowy hollow of her bosom. "I've never done anything with my life," Joan went on, "just staying up late every night and sleeping every morning--Kkilling time in between. Resistant, speakeasies, the thea- tPe and places to dance--forget- fulness for a little while. I 'was caught in a tangle of excitement before 1 knew what I was doing, Dick, and here I am, gay at night, and ready to kill myself when I waken up in the morning." } Joan held up her glass, watch- ing it through the light with fin- gers that trembled.

Al ways meaning to make things bet- ter, always sinking a little lower, She curved her arm around his neck and leaned her cheek against his temples. Gently she stroked his. hair, and let her lips stray over his face in caressing butter: fly kisses. Dick sat without mov- ing, until her mouth reached his. Then he seized her firmly and swung her into the circle of his arms. "Cherub," he murmured, "you get your way, don't you? I ought to slap you, but instead you've forced me to make love to you." He caught her roughly in his arms. Thrill of the Chase Next morning he regarded her coldly across the breakfast table in the dining-room, regretting his impulse of the night before. Joan looked appealingly at him across the table, dimly aware of his thoughts. What did love mean to her, anyway? Nothing, except the excitement of the chase, It was really only when she was tipsy that she abandoned herself to the more advanced stages of love. What a long procession of men had loved her once, and slip- ped out of her life, while she waited at home for their telephone calls! Tt sickened Joan to think of it. She had been jilted so often that fear was a fixation with her now. Yes, she was a mess. Now Dick! Joan helped herself to marmalade and thought that he was the most attractive man she had ever known--just as she had suspected. He did not need her at all; that was painfully obvious. She envied people who knew how to run their lives and control their own destinies. Dick was looking at her search- ingly. Miserable, she turned away from his sagacious scrutiny. Sud- denly Dick felt touched. It gave him no pleasure to see anyone unhappy or disappointed. He from his experience with women, that the worst hurt of all was frustration, for it touched them in their pride. Besides she couldn't help it. A Pledge Taken "Joan," he said, catching her arm as she left the dining-room, "I want you to take the pledge for a little while" and behave your- self." "Don't be funny," she said. Dick shook her impatiently. "Don't wise-crack, Joan. It does- n't become you. I'm in earnest. You've got to stop drinking, and I'm going to make you." She flashed him a wistful glance. "It's no use, Dick; I'm sunk. It's the only relief I have. I'd do anything for you, but not that." .

Most pressing is done on the wrong side. If it is necessary to press the right side always cover with a pressing cloth, "Be sure your iron is not too hot when you start to press a dress, There are few marks harder to remove from a garment than scorch, aside from the fact that it weakens your material. Heavy materials can stand a hot- ter iron than thin.

Lies In Democracy University President Says Dice Means ' Them Serfs and Chattels -- Preserve Dignity NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J.--Dr., Robert C. Clothier, president of Rutgers' University, told the New Jersey College for Women gradu- ating class last week. that the .. safeguarding of women's security and dignity depended upon the preservation' of democracy. Under dictatorships, he said in his baccalaureate address, women \ "in only too true measure resume the status of serfs and chattels." Children As Cannon Fodder "For dictatorship," he said, "in- evitably calls: for the building of great armies and the demands for men, more men and yet more men to fill the ranks, and women are told, callously, that their part in this new world is to bear sons, more sons, and yet more sons to maintain armies for the conquests of neighboring nations and the greater glory of the State. "Again-they become slaves to do the bidding of their masters and the 'honored and sacred profession of motherhood .is- made a mere - biological technique in the prose- cution of war." Women Can Decide Dr. Crouthier said the likeli- hood of dictatorship supplanting democracy in the United States was remote but warned that '"'complacency is the forerunner of disaster." "Whether America is to go on to achieve new levels of human experience' he said 'will depend in no small measure upon what the women of America say she shall do." Perfect Posture Prime Requisite Of Real Beauty--If Your Spine Holds a Straight Line Bat- - tle for Good Carriage Is _ Almost Won Perfect posture is one of the first requisites of real beauty. No mat- ter how pretty her face or lovely her hair and eyes are, the girl whose stomach protrudes, chest caves in and shoulders slump, or are held too stiffly backward, simp- ly won't be a beauty in the fullest, sense of the term. If one is to be thought truly beautiful, one must' sit, stand and walk correctly-- beautifully. Begin by straightening: out your backbone. No exaggerated curve in the centre of it, please. Just for- get all you have been told about keeping shoulders back, chin up and in and think only of your spin. al column. - Once you have learned 3 - to hold your spine in as straight a, line as possible, the other points of .good posture become nothing at all to worry about, Always sit with base and centre of backbone against the back of the chair. When you walk, hold your head up, making the muscles at the sides of your neck support it. Im. agine that you-are suspended on a slender: wire, one end of 'which is fastened to the clouds, the other to the top of your head. "And; unless you can keep your body, in line, al- ways stand wjth weight on both feet. Nothing looks worse than the posture of the gifl who puts her weight on one foot and lets the op- posite hip swing far outward. Gentlemen Like Good Grooming They - Admire Women * Wha Are Attractive in a Con- servative Way "Men like women in bright col: ors," on2 woman said. "No, men like women in dark colors with bright touches," tha , other woman added, "Don't you mean that all men like &l1 women to look nice?" This from the man in the group. How neatly he summed it up-- for all men DO like all women ta look nice. And he meant, of course, that it what you have on is becoming to you, really points up your best "features and plays down your bad ones, then it js ight for you. No need to worrv about what Garbo i. wearing this season or wish that you had a copy of the dress that some other motion picture star wore in a picture. Stick to what enhances your own personality. There are uo hard and fast rules, but even if there were, smart wo- men would find a way to twist the rules to suit themselves. And he meant, too, much more about posture, perfect grooming, meticulous cleanliness and dainti- ness than he perhaps realized. Men want women to look nice. This means soft, shining hair -- perhaps not dressed in any one of 'the latest, extreme fashions, but clean and glowing and neat, Men hate untidiness in a woman, aE ow ®-
