Promenade Deck . . by Ishbel Ross t: CHAPTKK ,\X The Maitnia was sUamiiij; on •cross the I'acific with her homc- ward-bouni] pt'nnaiu flyiiiK from the mast. Captain HariiiK was having a cocktail in his (|uarterR. Miss MuiIko was talking to Hick Charlton. Her sparrow face was aglow, and she was drawing on a eigarette in the ridiculou.';, inade- quate way she had. The chief of- ficer semed to be rather embar- rassed for once in his life. The Foster girl, who had been drink- ing cocktail after cocktail with her atention fastened on him, was reeling over in their direction now. Her expies-sion was glassy and determined. Angela saw her step between them and catch Miss Mudge by the .shoulder. Heaven.s! Was she going to make a scene? She was drunk enough f6r any- thing. Su(i<icnly Joan's voice rose â€" strident and hysterical, ever the babel of tongues, arresting the attention of everyone in the room. Miss Mudge was blinking at her, not knowing what it was all about. Joan, a blazing fury of red locks and dishevelmcnt, was bending over her and shouting things that made Angela's heart stand still. You're Mistaken "You think Dick loves you, you poor little simp'" she cried. "Well you're mistaken. He loves me. Do you understand. He loves me. He is laughing at you. Yes, I saw him kiss you on the deck at Yokohama after you had thrown yourself into his arms. I saw you faint, you Billy little crow. You did not see me on the beach chair, did you? Why did you ever leave Ohonto, or wherever you come from? Why did you ever think you could come around the world and behave like anyone else? Don't you know you arc a sketch. Take a look at your-self ?" Joan threw back her head and laughed. Dick tried to intervene, but she pushed him off and took firmer hold of Miss Mudge, on whose face a slow realization was dawning. Fury Unleashed "You thing because Dick danc- ed with you that he is in love with you and not with me. Well, he is laughing at you up his sleeve. For everybody knows he is making fun of you, but you are too sim- ple to know it. He knows you're 43 and never had another man in your life." (Stop her, stop her â- omeone,' Angela was murmuring through pale lips, but everyone semed to be rooted to the spot.) "He knows you say your prayers at night and help to support the missions. He knows you aie a Dry who's cheating, a silly little school-teacher, trying to he a sport, spioking cigarettes, paint- ing your face like a harlot, swig- ging at a drink â€" yes, and no doubt sleeping with him, too." "Stop it, Joan. You are mad.'' Dick was towering over her^n ashen fury. lie caught her by the arms. She pulled herself free and slapped his face. "Don't speak to me! I haven't finished with her yet. .She wears cotton nightgowns with necks Issue No. 35â€" '38 like this. (Joan gestured from her shoulder to chin.) She sleeps with curlers in her hair. I've seen her, on her way to the bath. Won't wear her glasses, for fear they might spoil her appearance. She bumps into chairs. Falls over the tables. Chatters, chatters, chat- ters to everyone who will listen to her. All about Ohonto and the wonderful children she teaches. 'Swonderful! Thinks the world is full of glamour â€" Oh, I've heard her by the hour. Loses her money at Monte Carlo. Thinks Dick's Sir Galahad. Ha! Why is Dick good to her? Dick's good to her be- cause everyone on the boat knows she's used up her savings and she can't go ashore. Dick's sorry for her. Dick's mad with me â€" Little school teachers should stay at home and keep their pennies in their cotton stockings â€" should not be a nuisance to grown-ups â€" shouldn't think that a Spanish shawl makes them fit to kiss â€" poor little Miss Mudge." Fvcryone tried not to look at Miss Mudge? At first her cheeks had burned. Now they were a gha.stly white, except for the dots of rouge high up on her cheeks, that made her look like a wax mo- del. Once she had raised her lit- tle hand to protest. Then it had fallen limply. What was the i.'se? Captain Baring stood as if he w ere carved in rock. He regarded a drunken woman !is the final de- basement of human nature. Hell of a mess for Charlton to get into â€" his favorite officer, and he was not a fool with women either. He would have to haul him over the coals, though it probably wasn't his fault at all. Dick had been cold to more attractive women than Miss Mudge. The captain knew all about him. Hut a Fcene like this â€" before passengers â€" it would not do. The chief officer had turned his back and was hastily swallowing a drink. Angela and Macduff stood in appalled silence. \o one knew what tack to take, but Miss Mudge herself took hold of the situation. Ignoiing them all, she put her arm around Joan's drooping shoul- ders, and said in a clear, high voice: "Come on you foolish child. Come down with me." The girl had passed from frenzy to maudlin collapse. She was shivering as her protector dragged liir firmly throUKli the door. Down tlie conipanioiiway and along the corridors they staggered, tlie older woman moving with intent and de- cisive steps. At last they reached Joans cabin and the ghl flopped on her bed. Miss Mr.dge bent down and drew off her slippers and stock- ings. She made her sit up while she pulled her flowered chiflon frock over her head. Hliisliing vaguely when she saw how little she wore, she gingerly drew olf the scrap of lace that seemed to be all of her nnder-clothing. How lovely she was! Miss Mudge went Into her wardrobe and loiind a nightdress â€" of silk so soft that she could crush it in one hand. It was fragrant and sweet as acacia hlossoni. "Comfy now?" she asked. Joan's reply v.a:< an incoherent whisper. Stripped To Shreds .Miss Mudg(' ki.sKcd lu'r and tuck- ed her up, dimly touched by her helpless state. Then slie found her way to her own bed In the dark- ness, for she could not bear the lii;ht just then. Her numbness was slowly passing and sbi' was coniing out of a fog, aware at last that something terrible had happened to her in the captain's (luarlors. In a full blaze of consciousness, she bur- led her face In her hands and sob- lied. .Miss Foster, wild and drunk and beautiful, had lold the truth anil stripped her to shreds, right down to the nwful foundation of her cotton niKhlgnwn anil her crimped fringe.

(Mr l«ul CO* 4fi||i(t ^V Women Urged To Use Their Great Power Their Inaction In This Time Of Human Need Will Puzzle Historians, Hugh Wal- pole Says That the world Is in a mess and they who have the power do noth- ing about It, is the claim of Hugh Walpole, well-known British writer, who in a recent article in the Lon- don Daily Sketch, accuses the wo- men of the world of indifference and of neglecting to use the vast power which is theirs. Women read- ers will doubtless take exception to some of Sir Hugh's sweeping state- ments, but there is much food for thought In his comments, which follow In part: "Made No Use Of Power" ''I am sure that some historian of 1980 or 1990 will say 'Why was it that the women of that time, in the very centre of that world's cri- sis, when they had everything in their hands, made no use of their power?' "It sounds, of course, nonsense to say that they have everything in their hands when Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin, and the Japanese Offi- cers are in command of nearly half the world." "Nevertheless, it is true that they have arrived, although nobody seems to have noticed it. at the first stopping place in the long evo- lution of women when men can say to tlioni: With Equal Status "For the last fifty years you have been struggling to secure cer- tain independencies. You have said very stoutly that dcmesticity and motherhood are not enough for you and that it you are given, among other things, an equal sta- tus with men, you will be able, by your influence, to help the whole of the present progress of man."

The intention of the gov- ernment to install them was an- nounced by the Minister of Health, Peter Fraser, in reply to a depu- tation from the Wellington Wom- en's Branch of the Labor Party. The Minister said that women police should be ixjognized as part of the police system of the country, but he refused to say that they would be appointed im- mediately. Policemen, he said, build their standard of usefulness to society through a long process of training and care would have to be taken to select the right women iiolice.

I!y now the wise and thrifty housewives have their cup- boards filled with something nore than good intentions and have just enouivh space left to add the nc.es- sary number of bottles of grape preserves. .A good supply of grape jelly is almost essential in every house- hold. There is nothing the family will like better and it is delicious with meat dishes, on toast, on blanc mange and other puddings. By making- grape jelly and using the pulp to make grape butter, you can get two kinds of conserves Which anyone will admit is \ery practical and thrifty. .And it's not a long messy job either. A few minutes is all the boiling lime needed when bottled fruit pectin i.s used and besides .saving time, it saves juit-e, flavour and colour. IJipe grape jelly and ripe grape butter are a grand <luo, economi- cally as well as dietelically. RIPE CRAPE JELLY 4 cups (2 lbs.) juice. 7',i cups (3U lbs.) sugar V4 bottle fruit pectin. Measure sugar and juice into large saucepan and mix. Bring to a boil over hottest fire and at once add pectin, stirring coiirtant- ly. Then brin^ to a full rolling boil and boil hard V4 minute. Ue- inove from fire, skim, pour iiuirk- ly. Paraffin hot jelly at once. Makes about 1 I eight-ounce gla-iscs. COMBINATION RIPE GRAPE JELLY AND BUTTER To prepare fruit, stem about B pounds fully ripe Concord BTap*" and crush thoroughly. .Add 'i c.p water, cover, and simmer C min- utes. Separate juice from pulp by placing hot fruit in 2-(|uart sieve. FOIi JICLLY: Hun enough juice through a double layer of cheese- cloth held in a small sieve to ob- tain 4 cups of strained juice.

Draped Tables For Bedrooms Replacing Wooden Ones; Fit Into Any Odd Space Draped dressing tables are about to put the wooden ones out of busi- ness. Here one reason is the vogue for less of a "woody" effect. An- other reason is the fact that a draped dressing table can fit in any odd space. But triple wing mirrors for draped dressing tables aren't nearly so chic as oval mirrors or round ones. For a modern room a round mirror without a frame is the thing. For many traditional rooms, an easel-back oval mirror with a wide gold frame is the nicest. For an early American or Victorian room, you'll find mirrors with little drawer bases that are attractive â€" in either maple or ma- hogany. Try A Taller Lamp And this is the moment to pro- test at the smallness of so many of the lamps that go in bedrooms. For dressing tables, watch out for those little shepherdesses. . . . they're too small for much real use. Try those tall pedestal dressing table lamps instead; they'll really give you a good light. For reading, too, consider the height of the base as well as the spread of the shade â€" no use to get a crick in your neek every time you read in bed. Skirts Stay Short For Daytime Wear Either Very Tight or Gored In Widely Flaring Lines PARIS.â€" For daytime skirts re- main short. They are either very tight or are gored In widely flaring lines. Whatever the hem, hips and waist are always trim and narrow. Shoulders are either wide or high. The majority of waistlines are tight and normal, a few are slightly low- er and a few raised a bit. The top of the silhouette is often emphasiz- ed by bloused effects or with drap- ery over the chest and bosom. Nu- merous crossed fichu and belt drapes are noted even in velvets or in fur trimmings on coats. Bodices and jackets are made with yokes. Sleeves are supremely important; often they are the basis of the whole silhouette. Most conspicu- ous are huge high-draped mutton sleeves; dolman or batwing types; ruffled cape sleeves. Long tight sleeves with wrinkled forearms and Louis XIV double or triple puffs. Stiff, high-shouldered Italian mut- tons lend interest to many an oth- erwise simple silhouette. All hous- es show sleeves in a contrasting fabric or color, or both. More than two-thirds of the mo- tion pictures shown in Rumania in the last year were American. i«rt»»^» 'nidi di^ eitW' Wrigley's Gum helps you keep fitt Relieves that stuffy feeling after eating.

In oth?.- words what accessories are being worn with the new dresses, coats and suits? Coats for winter are pretiy gen- erally belted, at least those that are being shown for .August sales are, except, of course, the boxy types. Sometimes the belts are of the coat fabric, and sometimes they are leather. In Unique Design Dresses, too, show both unbelted and belted waistlines. And then again some are belted with the material of which the dress is made and sometimes with leather or other contrasting fabric. New belts that contrast with the dress are original in styling and very attractive. Belts and suspenders de.si4i;3d by one firm include such unique things as turquoise studded copper piac- ques combined with leather thongs. Some of them have etched Indian designs on them. One of these depicts the "thunderbird."
