Ellen's relatives insist that '..= come to live with them, but Mark is just as insistent that the itay with him. Dorothy, El- ler't sister, ha her eye on the trupt fund that Ellen left Valerie, anc -a already begun to make effort* to obtain custody of the air,. She insists that Valerie wea- black, but Mark says she can have whatever clothes please her meat. Chapter V, "We'll find your favorite sho.p. nc t-uy 'em out. But maybe you'd better not tell Dorothy." "Ok no " H laughed at the horror in Val- erie* eyes. Then he decided It wan to laughing matter. * T>c train slipped away from the platform. Valerie and Mark had alti.i - missed it. Mark apologized steadily tor the two minutes left him. and said things about the traffic He was so charming, Valerie woftcered how Dorothy could look him go crossly. She and Paul tooc In the vestibule of their car, betjnd glass, for now the door was shut in their faces. Her auut Jooktd out at them grimly as they tooc side by side on the plat. tome. She looked like Miss \Vea- th'ie, at Bolton. bursting with thirug* to say, most of which wouM make you wish you had never beeu bore. It was fuuny, because of co-ufte she didn't really look like Miss Weatherbee at all. It was something sort of behind her face. Maybe it was her thoughts. Anyway, she had on chance to speak, for suddenly the train was gone, leaving a faintly disturbing cct of smoke about their lieaiN. It made you tliiuk of places Cali- fornia, where you loused to so. and other far spots. "A railroad station is terribly ex- fit up, isn't It?" Valeria asked, as th< y went back up the long stairs. "I mean it sort of go*s up your spine " "Let's Go Away" Mark stopped short to look down on her. "Can you belong by any chance, to the Brothers of the Wan- dering Foot?" he asked. "Because if so, you've picked th right par- ent. Just give me a few months at the factory to make 'em think they can't get on without me. and I'll show you a real vacation." "You mean away?" "Nothing else but. Where would you be wanting to go?" California, please and the South Seas nowhere cold unless you like it " "California and the South Seas are all right with me." They came out of the station, found the parked roadster, and headed for shops. Mark asked which one she preferred, and Val- erie, after trying frantically to bo grown up. collapsed and told him the truth. "I don't know any shops, father. You see, I never saw my clothes until they were sent to me. Mother got them, and I Just wore them. She thought girls ought not to think about clothes I mean, until they were older so what are we going to do?" "Oh, we'll muddle along." saJd Mark. His eye was caught by a riot o< color behind a plate-glass window. He pulled around a corner and parked his car. Lot of New Clothe* They came out an hour later, and piled boxes In the rumble. Valerie had Insisted on carrying them. She wouldn't trust them to be ds- livered. "I never saw so many at once eight dresses, three suits, and four coats besides hats and all the rest " she said aa they drove away "Whatever ara we -going to do with all the clothes I have al- ready?" "Mark lighted a cigarette, and waved the problem away. "I'll bet Mrs. Ban wood knows some needy souls. She looks as If she would. If she doesn't, there are always some people who well, look out for people "I know the Salvation Army, said Valerie. "But probably Mrs. Banwood will fii It. Housekeepers are clever, aren't they?" "Are they ? My acquaintance seems to have been limited. Your mother picked Mrs. Banwood off a bush somewhere. I wasn't so crazy about her at first, but now I believe ahe'j good for me. Sli takes m down. If he looks at m long, I begin to wonder If my facsi Is dirty, or If I have a caterpillar on my collar" Valerie giggled delightfully. Sh knew Mrs. Banwood'* effect OB one. "She's only my second I mean housekeeper," she nxplaln- ed. "There was one at school. II the girls met her In th halls. w ran. We never knew why we ran. We Just did. So of course Mrs. Ban wood seems pretty mild to me." "I dare say she is really," aald Mark. "It's probaibly my guilty conscience." Mark headed for hU factory next morning. He- had, he said, to show up at least for the day, before they went adventuring. He wondered bit uneasily what Valerie would do without him. It was th first time he had left her. He put it to her at breakfast. but she told him solemnly that with her old things to transfer to Mrs. Banwood, her new ones to pack, the day would be hardly long enough. He left her standing out on the wide steps, the morning breeze In her hair, her right hand raised hi a queer little salute, as he wheeled hU roadster around the curve of the drive an-d was gone. Valerie watched his car vanish among the trees. She felt small and insignificant, and at the same time) terribly Important. It was pleas- antly confusing. She went Into the house and hurried to her own room. (To be continued) Princess Knit For Exhibition Their Work Will Be- On Dla- play at C. N. E.

N. R. Dining-Ctre Famous rivers of Canada provide material for illustrations reproduc- ed on a series of art covers used to enclose bills of fare offered dally to passengers travelling In cafe and buffet cars operated by the Can- adian National Railways. Pictorial corers have long been employed on the dining car services at the System, each aeries giving hints of the beauties of scenic Canada or presenting picture graphs of Can- adian natural resources and indus- tries. The new series were designed l>y C. W. Simpson, of Montreal, an artist possessing keen appreciation of that outdoors which so strongly appeals to Canadians themselves and to visitors from beyond the border. That spirit of appreciation Is evident In the sketches which Mr. Simpson has executed to sug- gest the characteristics of the four rivers chosen, the St. Lawrence, the Miramichi, the Mackenzie and the Fraser. WITH CHART AND M." P For the busy St. Lawrence Mr. Simpson depicts the Tow of over- seas and inland waterborne traffic with a glimpse of Quebec Bridge, one of the country's engineering marvels. The Miramichi, as befits a renowned sporting river, la Illus- trated by an angler about to land his salmon. The Mackenzie Is shown as spacious and majestic with a flotilla of stern wheelers approaching Fort Norman, suggest- ing much easier travel than that Imposed upon the sturdy fur trad- er and explorer, Mackenzie, dur- ing his voyage of discovery to the delta of the mighty stream. Mr. Simpson hae dramatized tLa Praer as flowing in turbulent volume through Its rocky canyons in a boisterous scramble to the Pacific. Each river is charted with an accompanying sketch map and ap- propriate text telling the stories of these great waterways each play- ing an Important part In history, and *aoh characteristically Canad- ian. War's Changing Women's Hose Canadian Manufacturers Co- operate With Government to Reduce Silk Import* "What will the war-time stock- ings be like? Will they be rayon? How will they look? Are they wear- able? Can we get them In all shades and sizes? How much will they cost? Wouldn't it help the war effort more If we wore cotton In- stead of silk?" These and countless others were the questions fired at manufactur- ers of full-fashioned factory hos- iery by a representative group of Canadian newspapermen. mag- azine editors and r'dio columnists at a luncheon In Toronto recently, writes Florence Elliott. The fash- ion writers, like all Canadian women, had been wondering what was happening to silk stocluuga now that silk imports had beeu reduced to conserve foreign ex- change. All of them had noticed that stockings purchased recently had had other materials than silk in tho tops and feet. I'SE COMPOSITE YAll.N The new Canadian wartime no* lery. according to present p'.ans at least, is a mixture of real sill; and rayon. These types of stock lugs are going Into production In Cajiadian mills now, but It will bo some months yet before tliey be- come the general hose Itwn on tin market. Lisle is also used and con- tinues to play its part in the tops and feet In the "Mixture" stock- ings fine filaments of real silk are twisted with filaments of the best available rayon to produce a "com- posite yarn" and this yarn is used for knitting the leg panels of the hose. HOW THEY WASH So skilfully have tbe mixtures beeu knitted that no Canadian girl need worry about sacrificing her glamour hosiery! One minor difference, it was pointed out, is to be seen In the washing of the mixtures. Some ar- tificial fibres become weakened when wet, so extra care must be i ik -n to avoid rough handling wringing of the new types.

CHAMBERS Salad Dressing* At no time of the year r salads mora appetizing than at this season. Firstly, the garden offers a variety of greens and vegetables, then salads simplify the menu; and they help make a. balanced meal that may !m serv- ed cold. A salad is no better than i-_ dressing. Let your dressing b perfect of its kind and chosen to supplement the salad it com- pletes. The basic dressing types are important, these you will vary and "dress up" for special occasions. Try a boiled dressing, experi- ment until you reach perfection, then many additions may b made. Boiled Dressing This is my favorite boiled dressing: 1 teaspoon mustard "i teaspoon salt Vi teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon flour ! cup brown sugar 2 eggs }4 cup rich milk \i cup vinegar (diluted equal parts with water if strong). Mix dry ingredients thorough- ly, add the well beaten eggs, then add the milk. Beat a few seconds with dover beater. Cook over hot water in double boiler. Just after placing over hot water add the vinegar and give a few more turns with beater. Stir constantly until thick, removn from heat. Beat again with beater, add butter, beat a few more turns. Pour into dish until cool ; set away to chill. French Dressing Sometime ago the French dres- sing was not so popular, but to- day it seems indispensable. Some like to resort to a sort of cere- monial and make this dressing at the table; others just buy ft at the grocer's.

Join the millions of happy families who enjoy Spearmint after every meal. GET SOME TODAY your own, a salad French dressing can be just as simple as salail oil and vinegar. To this vinegar and oil all that need be added is salt and cayenne. Then again it may be given out- standing character by the addition of garlic (try a garlic clove in thu vinegar bottle). Then again, try adding curry powder, chili pow- der, mustard or Roquefort cheese, celery salt, etc. Other addition* might be chopped olives, pickle (especially dill), celery, radishea or pimento. To be "correct" use French dressing if serving a fruit or "salad course" salad, at a heavy luncheon or dinner. This type of dressing must be tossed on ingre- dients whether vegetable or fruit. To give a finished technique of "hostess" toss it right at the tabl* in a large bowl, or simpler, let it be passed, each guest serving themselves. Fruit Salad Dreuing- There are so many variation* here. You may make a fruit juic base for serving on fruit salads. Make this similar to thick dressing using fruit juice instead of milk. On jellied fruit salads we particu- larly relish this. Again, you might fold in whipped cream to your thick boiled dressing equal parts. Another variation might be to add lime juice or chopped ginger. Thousand Itland Dreutnf To every cup of thick sala.l dressing add 1 "i tablespoons each of finely chopped green pepper and pimento and olives i gherkins it" you have them, may also b added.' To this mixture add ona quarter cup catsup ( or chiH sauce) and fold in one-half cup of whipped cream. This dressing ta quite the favorite for hearts o f lettuce, shredded raw cubbage IT cress. Another variation for fruit salad dres-iiig. add equal part* of whipped i-ream. adding chop- ped maraschino cherries, candied ginger or nuts. A tart, jelly addi- tion also gives a :esr. A Relish Dreuing The simplest is to add to youc thick salad dressing, L'hili sauce, cat-sup, chopped green relish, mus- tard relish or any of these with a little added hi>rsendi>h. Excellent for fish salad*. *> n. k Irtttr* from Intvmfi-tl I* plentrrt t rrrei-ve ua r.uui -. fur her roluma. nail ! rvtn renrl? tii llntca tu your "prt licrvm." l(ri|iif*f* for rMl|W lr<-!nl moult* lire la order.
