We had one man {ry to around the world aboard the stab another today, and the chef "Marenia" brings together a threw a carving-knife at a pantry group of passengers for adven- tures, romantic, entertaining . . . and tragic . . . Like in "Grand Ho- . tel" these passengers offer a study fn human actions and réactions which unconsciously bare their souls. . . . These characters are aboard the ship: Macduff, dour Scotchman, single, of middle age; Miss Mudge, school teacher, spend- ing the savings of 20 years; An. gela, faithful wife of Lovat, gig- olo; Dick Charlton, first officer; Clare, a person of experience; Joan, a diss/pated flapper; Jen- ny, run-away wife, and Peler; Captain Baring, master of the ship . and his soul. No, go on with the story. CHAPTER XIII Clare was ducking through the curtain into her stateroom, her dark head turned over her shoul- der, invitation on her lips. Peter was at her heels. Jenny could see his back as he bent his head to go under the curtain. His hand shot out and caught at his com- panion's upper arm as he disap- peared fiom view. Jenny closed her eyes. and clutched at her - heart. She had not believed it possible, in spite of Peter's recent coolness. Her face went white as she stood in the corridor, weakly clutching the hand-rail. The boat lurched and her feet moved me- chanically along the linoleum-cov- ered corridor. She knew that she must be walking like an absurd marionette. Now she had arrived at her own stateroom. She walked "under the curtain and hooked the door. - Jenny lay down on her bed and covered her eyes with fingers that fluttered nervously. Her throat was swelling till she thought she would choke. It couldn't be possi- ble--not now, so soon. They had been together only two months. She had run away for a lifetime, believing that Peter loved her enough to spare her all regret, and now it was like this, with a cheap woman on the boat. "What a blind fool [I've been!' she thought. "He can't have loved me at all, not for a minute. But it isn't his fault. 1 brought'it on my- self." Under the Lanterns Dick was dancing with Patty under "eated lanterns that swayed like drunken sailors. She looked like a puff-ball in a cas- cade of white chiffon. Hard to believe that she was the thin young thing who had slipped through the water that afternoon like a sharp blade. "Patty, you're looking very sweet tonight," he told her, hum- ming the waltz as he swung her around. "And I. could with you, Dick." "It's the sky and lanterns you like, silly infant." "Now you're teasing." "Honour bright, I'm. not." The waltz came to an end and they sat down, ¢I think the boat's getting a little dull," said Patty suddenly. Dick laughed. "I wish it were," he said. "Why, what's going on?" "Plenty, Patty. You don't sup- pose that everything's as smooth as it looks on the promenade deck, do you?

"Everything seems so orderly and serene." Anything But Peaceful Dick laughed. "Well, I'm glad that it looks that way. Did you notice the boat slow down in the middle of the night on Friday?" "No, 1 was probably sound asleep." "That was to bury a member of the crew who died of malaria. And when we leave Ceylon we must slow down again to toss a wreath out at the spot where one of the cruise men was buried last year. He ate some bad food in India." Patty shuddered. It had not oc- curred to her that the Marenia was anything but a peaceful pleasure boat. But Dick was going on: "Don't forget that this is a village afloat, and not nearly so peaceful as the anchored variety. Do you want to know what's really going on around you among the passen- gers? In one stateroom a husband comes in late from a poker game each night and threatens to kill his wife. They're a blowzy pair from Cleveland who curse and swear at each other, and are al- ways drunk.

I think he'll murder her yet, when he gets drunk enough," continued Dick, "And there's the little teacher who has been saving her pennies for twenty years to go around the world and now that she's on the boat, she's afraid she hasn't mon- ey enough to take her safely home. She daren't go ashore by herself, because of the constant demand for tips and fees." "It's Miss Mudge, isn't it?" in- terrupted Patty. "Yes, since you've guessed it, and a very good sport, too." "Then there's the man who's running away from his wife and is deluged with frantic radios every day. And the American whose fortune has shrunk from seven millions to blue ruin since he sailed. Haven't you seen him hanging around the stock-board? He faces bankruptcy and endless troubles when he gets back. And there's the spinster who filled her pockets with pebbles by the Sea of Galilee, and has fallen madly in love with the captain, who has never spoken a word. to her. "Oh, how thrilling!" cried Pat- ty. "I never thought of it in that light. Do you always have things like this happen on a cruise?" Ocean Madness "Of course we do. This is a comparatively dull one so far. I've given you only the sketchiest idea of what takes place on a cruising boat. I call it ocean madness. Roll a score of Atlan- tic crossings into one; add mcon- light on Waikiki Beach, sunset on the Indian Ocean, night in Peking, cherry blossoms in Japan; fling together men and women away from their homes, their friends, the forces that impose re- straint--and what have you?" Patty lay awake for hours that night, thinking of the Marenia as a vast building with deczens of separate apartments, and a little drama going on in each, CHAPTER XIV Down in 454 Miss Mudge was reading Conrad's "Typhoon", giv- en her by the chief officer. She was elated at the end of another gala night. He had danced with her three times and sat out a tango. Every night was gala night on the Marenia, particularly since she had met Mr. Charlton, the first officer. She lowered her book and de- livered herself to the full en- chantment of her thoughts of Mr. Charlton. Heavens! Miss Foster was making whoopee again, She had learned "making whoopee" from some of her gay companions, and she liked the sound of it now. It was so unlike Ohonto. Mr. Charlton roared with laughter every time she said it. Some nights, things were rather quiet next door, with only one man in the room and nothing much in the way of noise, except a clinking of glasses and an occasional burst of laughter. There must be a party going on tonight. She could hear the voices of at least four different men, and hostess seemed to be feeling yay. Miss Mudge wondered what it would be like to be surrounded by four different men, all of whom probably wanted to kiss one. The idea did not appeal to her so much as having one man in that mood. There must surely be very little point to public' lovemaking. Things were quiet next door for a minute or two, and her thoughts flowed back to Mr. Charlton. She imagined herself in his arms, dancing with him, while he leaned down to kiss her cheek. A Song Breaks Off Miss Mudge sat up straight in bed as she heard Joan Foster's laughter come splintering through the partition. "Let's throw him out," one of "the men exclaimed. "It's time to break up, anyway. One more song and we'll leave little Joan to her beauty sleep." Miss Mudge was sure that it was the voice of the -man whose wife was ill. They had all gone now, except the man who usually stayed the longest, The conversation was pitched on a lower note, and there were long pauses when nothing was said at all. At last she fell asleep, but not for long. Wakening with a sense of disturbance, she switched on the light over her bed to look at her watch, Half-past three and a com- CASA LOMA Sir Henry Pellatt million dollar Cas- tle-on-the-Hill, Spadina Road, Tor onto.

Miss Mudge disappeared be- neath the clothes until only her hairpinned fringe showed. Miss Foster started the victrola, choos- ing the song, "I wanna be loved." As soon as it was finished, she put it on again. By the tenth time it was getting a little bor- ing. An hour later + the man stumbled out of the cabin, Still the victrola went on. Miss Mudge was desperately tired. The girl must be mad. Sit- ting up in bed, she knocked hesi- tantly on the wall, but there was no reply; except the clinking of ice in a glass. Seven o'clock and the music still went on, like a tireless hurdy-gurdy. Worn out, Miss Mudge fell asleep at last. A noise wakened her at ten. The victrola was grinding the same refrain. At last she was angry; she would stand no more. She thumped loudly on the wall. whirred to a slow stop. Miss Fos- ter flopped noisily on her bed. Absurd Happiness Jenny was in a light-hearted mood when the Marenia anchored off Paknam in a thick heat haze. Her mind was no longer locked in high tension, and she talked with delicate animation. For three days Peter had been his old ten- der self, So far as she knew, he had seen nothing of Clare. Going ashore, she wore a gay flowered frock of poppy silk and a wide straw hat.

(TO BE CONTINUED) « Currant Jellies and Jams Catching time by the forclock is an important thing to accomp- lish in every housckeeper's life. And catching the summer fruits: as they come on the market and putting them away" for winter use is a very good illustration of this famous phrase. Currants make grand jelly and jam when made with the short boil method. Made this way, it takes just 15 minutes to complete the job after the fruit is prepared and because there is no long boil- ing time, the lovely color and flav- or of the fresh, fully ripe fruit is sealed into your jars. Of course there is a secret. It's bottled fruit pectin. By adding just the right amount of bottled pectin (which hag been extracted from fruits which abound in it, refined and bottled) you get jam and jelly of the right consistency without hav- ing to boil away all the goodness of the fruit to make it jell. None of that tangy, tart flavor which you expect of currants is evap- orated. The short boil method not only saves the color and flavor of the fruit, it actually gives you more jars of jam and 'jelly "per quart of fruit because none of it is boiled away. It has been estimat- ed that the yield from this method gives you approyimately half as much again as that from the same amount of fruit when long boil methods are used. Currant jelly is simply delicious with cold roast lamb, chicken or duck and currant jam has always been popular with toast.

Your Wardrobe IfY Looking For a Quick And Easy Methodvof Rejus venating Your Summer War- drobe, Here are a few Sug- gestions From Paris. Chogse sky blue handkerchief linen for a tailored single-breast- 'ed jacket to wear over wool or cotton. Border a white organdy bow with a band of gold sequins and place it high on the neck of a" black wool dress with a jacket bolero of matching wool. Sew sequins at irregular dis. tances on a square of pastel-col- ored handkerchief linen, and toss the handkerchief nonchalantly over your head for an evening vat, TTT Flowers and Leaves Shit your pockets, vertically in- stead of crosswise. And place as many as eight of these neat in- visible pockets on a single tail- ored jacket. Tuck a red rose in the belt of a stiff black taffeta evening dress whose circular skirt ends in a wide ruching. Cut maple leaves out of black patent leather and applique them loosely on a two-inch white kid belt. : Applique or embroider your initials on the band of your hat. Substitute a dong, tight sleeve for the ordinary short sleeve in lace boleros. Patou makes the tight-sleeved bolero in heavy black lace for a black crepe dinner dress. Contrast a lavender printed silk blouse with a pale yellow wool suit which has buttons made of porlelain jn the form of wheat sheaves. Old Folk Songs Are Kept Alive By the People of Nova Scotia-- English, Scottish, Irish Ballads Interest shown in the recent competitive musical festival by so many people from all parts of the province prompted the suggestion that Nova Scotia has a rich musi- cal field which is not being culti- vated to any great extent. There is in this province a remarkable' char- to develop the great field of folk music which is tied up with the history and tradition of our people and the lands whence they came, says the Halifax Chronicle. It is suggested that, as a fea- ture of the musical festival, or as a separate undertaking a gather- ing devoted to this - folk music might be a colorful, interesting and delightful event. Such a gath- ering would bring before the pub- lic the old ballads of English and Irish origin which are kept alive in Nova Scotia fishing villages to- day often after they have disap- peared in the lands of their ori- gin. It would present. ancient songs and Jaments from Scotlish Highlands which still linger among the hills and glens of our Scotlish = communities, - The Acadian population and the Lunenburg people would be particularly fortunate. Old French and German folk sorigs contain some of the most appealing tunes ever written and their presenta- tion would charm any such gath- ering. There are other sources, too. Danish communities have de- veloped in Nova Scotia and these people, doubtless, have brought with them the folk tunes of Scan- dinavia. ' Nova Scotia has a veritable treasure-house of such music and the tradition, color, and associa-. tions would add a glamor to it that would heighten its interest. Cooked Starch Crisps Clothes A quart of hot cooked starch to a tub of rinse water (slightly blued, except for colored clothes allergic to blueing) leaves a fresh yet fot too stiff finish resistant to soil and damp on wash clothes. Shake out each garment, damp from previous rinse water, thor- oughly so that the starch dis- tributes evenly and turn clothes wrongside out. If you find that the last clothes: starched do not receive enough stiffening, divide the starch and add to the rinse whtter -as- the solution thins. A - little starch for crisping blouses and lingerie neckwear will' keep sweet several days in the refrig- erator.
