CAST OR CHARACTERS IRIS IVES--a radiant bride who thought love came first and money could take care of itself. BART WHITTAKER--a right. eous bridegroom who looked at the bankbook first and his wife afterward. Yesterday: Iris buys a suit and fur, on thé installment plan, con. vinces Bart that 'two could pool their resources and afford to marry. So Bart begins to figure the cost of the affair. 4 CHAPTER II His attiactive, weathcr-brown- ed face was so serious, his brown eyes so intent as he figured on the back of the old envelope. Watching him, Iris felt a curious maternal pity tugging at her heart, He took all this-so seriously, he was so sure that arithmetic was the . solution to happiness, While almést any girl could tell you itw had nothing to do with real hap- piness, "What you'll save on your clothes alone, will be a big start, honey," Bart said, after studying the oracle of his arithmetic sober ly. Iris said nothing. She. didn't . tell him that it was no saving, be- cause she had purchased the suit for no other reason than this. And --it 'wasn't paid for yet! "There's the rent and upkeep for one apartment, Bart," Iris vol- unteered faintly. He looked up at "her and grinned, "Whatever rent ~we'd pay, will be a saving.' "And eating at home, to say nothing of good home cooking," Bart added fervently. "Come to think of it, we've been saps to be afraid of this for so long, honey. Why, the way 1 figure it, we'll be being married: No high-priced restaurant meals, no indigestion, only one place to keep up, and being together as well." "You'll take me out to dimer now and then, Bart Whittaker, or I'll step out with the professor of natural history!" He grasped her slender wrisis in warm strong fingers and pulled . ~hey down close. \**Dear," he said humbly, "I want you to be happy, I don't want you ever to have to worry and scrimp and do without the way other wiv- es do. It's because I love you so, Iris, that I've been afraid. Afraid it would be selfishness to ask you - to marry me, knowing the hard road we'd have ahead." "If you love," Iris whispered _softly. With a& smothered endear- ment 'he crushed her to him, "Dear, dearest dear," he whis- pered unsteadily, "You know 'that. You know I love you, I'm half. crazy with loving you. . . . Iris, why wait any longer? Why not be married now--we ¢an have a honeymoon after school closes; and we have our vacations. Now . . . we've waited too long as Jit is, dear." "Of eourse," Iris agreed prac- tically. Hadn't she known the suit would do this? After trying every. thing else and failing, an $80 powder blue wool gabardine suit brought about thie miracle. That, "and a comfortable Toungé chair, * «& smoking stand, and a good sup- per, It jus proved how sound those 'old:fashioned notions were!" "And you won't mind waiting till summer for our: honeymdon, dear?" Bart. urged tenderly, Against the rough wool of his coat, Irish sook her head. Mind? She'dya hundred times rather wait until summer for a. honeymoon, 'By. then, she'd' have to have new summer clothes; by then she'd have Bart persuaded out of his qUeer obsession: against clothes money expenditure, It was #" > Plain Little Things They were ten minutes late to the movie, and had to stay over because, as Iris said, she didn't care about newsreels, or. comedies, ¢ 'but she did love Myra Loy, H "She 'has the best clothes sense.

"Wears. Plain du, s "Good sound sense, too--" Bart: . agreed, still in the roseate glow |' o honey. Plain things that don't cost much." Iris was glad of the friendly darkness of the theatre as they sat down. Not that Bart would guess how much her suit cost, or any of her clothes for that mat. ter, from her face, Only--well, she was glad it was dark in the theater. Some catty woman might smile sarcastically, and warn Bart; someone might titter, after look- ing at the obviously expensively tailored suit. In the days that followed, Iris was beset with a hundred issues, She had to buy new lingerie, new pajamas and a chenille robe, and mules, She had to have another . blouse, and some pumps and a hat. And she had to insist "gently but firmly on gardenias, instead. of the violets Bart wanted to give her to wear to the wedding. "Violets make your eyes so beautiful," he pleaded with a rare burst of eloquence for him, "and they're in season now, honey." "But all my life I've wanted gardenias for my wedding, Bart! I... I know it's silly, and they're probably horribly expensive, but a gir] doesn't have but one wed- ding to a lifetime, and it's just this once, You~, . . you can get me the "violets to wear on my suit later--after the wedding if you want: I'll 'wear them to. din- ner, and ysu'll love them just as much." Dent In His Budget He gulped and tried not to show "th e dent this made in his careful budget. Gardenias were bad en- ough, but gardenias and violets too! "You must remember a small gift for your best man, too, Bart," she reminded him, "Some nice studs, or a cigaret box, or some- thing." « ura | never thought of that, Tris." Repioachfully--as if it were quite her fault, instead of being a cus- tom she merely reminded him of. "I'll get them, Bart; you quit worrying," Iris admonished him. "No!-I'll get them." "Darling," she said in tender reproach, "not letting it get you . down this early? Think what I've to worry 'over:" "It's just that I was so sure 1'd Save everything," he. explain- ed. They were married at 4 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon, before' a few friends and the dean, while 'the dean's wife wept sentimentally all through the solemn little cere- ~mony in the gray stone church at the end of Sorority Row. And: in- stead of returning home to the = little apartment they 'liad prepar-- ed, hastily, out of Iris' rooms, and an additional room, adjoining, plus the furnishings Bart brought from "his rooms, there was the- wedding supper at the Tivoli. Bart was tired from a rushed hectic day- at the shop, and if. he thought, fleetingly, of the cozy- Saturday night suppefs of steak, French fried potatoes, salad and shortcake, or baked beans and fix- ings that was their usual Satur- day night feast, he said nothing, | ~ This was his wedding day, his and Iris', And whatever Iris wanted, he wanted her to have, At the supper, Johnny Kevlin, 'his 'best man, and a reporter on a 'small' daily" paper 40 miles from Linwood, had a 'cocktajl todo many and grew maudlin over Iris, : + "Best pal I ever had, Iris, darl- in," he admonishéd her owlish- ly, "but a devil with the women." Iris was startled. Of all the faults she knew men to possess, this was one she hadn't found in Bart. He seemed peculiarly im- 'mune to lovely damsels, and turn. ed disinterested eyes to their best efforts to snag his interest.

As she studied her new hus. band, the length of the table away, talking seriously with Dean Som- ers on the business outlook at the moment, Iris realized that Johnny had spoken a fear that was buried deep in her subconscious mind. That was why she never let him know how much she paid for any thing, or how much she spent, or what she did with her money!

For those who are of this opinion | of- fer my recipes for Chop Suey and 'Chow Mein, 1 hope you will find these menus appetizing 'for your, -own or for party suppers, If any of you are interested in new ideas for church suppers the Chinese supper serveng Chop Suey is a novelty menu, which is -al- ways very popular, If any of you wish some suggestions on this 1 you if you write me your details. CHOP SUEY The basic ingredients of this Oriental dish are onions, celery, and the different Chinese sauces which now can be purchased at almost any grocery store. The on- fons and celery should be fried in peanut or olive oil, or butter will do. Chop Suey should always be served with rice. You may add chicken, pork beef in strips or shrimps, lobsters or oysters. For the finest flavor an addition of sliced water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, mushrooms or almonds toasted will satisfy any palate, CHINESE CHOP SUEY 2 cups diced raw chicken '2 cups fried pork 1 large onion 1 cup celery 1 cup mushrooms 2 cups bamboo sprouts 1 cup water chestnuts » 3 cups water 2 tablespoons Soy bean sauce Ccok chicken and pork in frying pau until slightly brown. Add the vegetables, cut in thin slices (lengthwise), the water and soy bean sauce. . Cook until tender, serve with rice and Soy Bean sauce. Time for cooking 2 hours. Serves eight, CHOW MEIN Prepafe egg noodle dough ac- cording to your own recipe. Cut in thin strips and fry in deep fat, . as .you would doughnuts and re- move when crisp, - Dad Cut a small pork chop and fry partly brown. Add Soy Bean sauce and thicken as gravy. Pour noodles, when hot. Garnish of ¢hicken and cold ham cut in- tooth pick lengths. Pepper steak is: made by cooked green peppers instead of celery and beef steak instead of the chicken and in com- bination used for Chop Suey, also adding mushrooms and water ~chestnuts, For a dessert for any of these menus, individual pies made of mincemeat, apple or pumpkin is usually used. For the beverage re. membere the real "China" tea and of course the correct cups, not for. getting the chop sticks, all help to make these suppers a complete success.
