If you are entertaining the crowd

appetites.
It’s good social strategy to ar

casual. You may
even want to set
up card tables in
the living room to
make your guests
comfortable after
they have helped
themselves from the buffet.
Natural colored linen, or rough
homespun cloth will make a smart
background for your serving table.
Candles are often used very effec
tively, when serving buffet style, for
they add both atmosphere and light.
If you double as hostess and chief
cook, you’ll enjoy the game twice as
much if you plan a menu that can
be prepared beforehand. Sandwich

LOCALE
; 8 f ;
By MEREDITH SCHOLL
(Associated Newspapers.)
WNU Service. T
MR. DUMONT laughed heart
ily and looked at his son.
“Stan.” he said, “when I
proposed to your mother,
it was a cold, blustering day in the
middle of January. Snow was fall
ing and Amy’s feet^were wet. Most
uncomfortable. I remember it as
plain as day. We were standing on
the bridge in the Public Garden—”
“Did she accept you—then?” Stan
asked.
“She did. We stayed on the bridge
for more than an hour, and were
late getting home to supper. Her
dad gave me the devil.”
Stan’s brows puckered into a
frown. Presently he asked: "Dad,
you and mother loved each other a
lot, didn't you? I mean, before you
were married?”
“Why, yes, I suppose we did.
Why?”
“Well, listen. Dad, tomorrow
you’re going up to the lake to open
tha camp for the summer, aren’t
you?”
"That’s right.” Mr. Dumont
looked puzzled. “What’s this all
about, son?"
Stan ignored the question. “It
ought to be pretty nice at the lake
now, hadn’t it? I mean, warm and
sunshiny and—and nice?”
"It’s always nice at the lake. Now,
look here. If you want to come up
for a week or so before going to
work, we’ll be only too tickled to
have you.”
mat, said btan, is exactly
what I want to do. But that's not
all.” He hesitated. “I’ve a friend
I’d like to ask up, too.”
"A friend?” Mr. Dumont studied
his son’s face, and presently his own
broke into a smile. The light of un
derstanding was in his eyes. “I get
it,” he said. “O. K., Stan, fetch her
along. I guess if you think as much
of her as that, your mother and I
will approve.”
Stan grinned boyishly. "I know
you’ll like her. Dad. You couldn’t
help but like Helen. She—she’s
grand!”
"She must be,” Mr. Dumont
agreed. He placed his hand on his
son’s shoulder. "Son,” he said, "re
member this: There’s one thing that
hasn’t changed since your mother
and I were kids.”
Stan didn’t grasp the significance
of the remark. But for the time
being he let it pass. There were
too many other things to occupy his
thoughts. He had to get in touch
with Helen at once. There was a
bare possibility that she couldn't or
wouldn’t accept his invitation. The
thought was disturbing.
But that evening the possibility of
her refusal was instantly dispelled
by the dark-haired, dark-eyed,
charmingly demure Helen herself.
She not only accepted, she seemed
eager to go. Inland lakes nestling
down among green mountains, she
said, were exactly her idea of a per
fect setting for an ideal vacation.
Secretly Stan hoped that the in
land lake would prove an ideal set
ting for something else, too, some
thing that he had been contemplat
ing for a long, long time, but lacked
the courage to put into words.
Stan drove Helen up in his road
ster two days after his folks left to
open their camp for the summer.
They arrived in the mellow light of
a perfect June evening. Helen ut
tered exclamations of delight at ev
ery turn in the road. When the camp
itself came into view her enthusi
asm fairly bubbled over.
The Dumonts met them on the
front porch, and Stan knew with a
feeling of relief that both his mother
and father approved of Helen. His
dad took her hand in his and looked
down into her face and smtled
warmly. Stan had a momentary
thought that an expression of under
standing passed between them. But
the idea was forgotten in the excite
ment of showing off the camp for
Helen’s benefit.
The days that followed were, for
Stan, a glorious realization of
dreams that he had cherished for
five long years. There was but one
doubt to mar his happiness, and that
doubt was, he knew, the product of
his own reasoning. It existed only
because of his lack of courage; its
continuance was and would be de
termined by his ability to conquer
a hideous fear.
For six days Stan harbored the
doubt and fear without speaking the
words that would decide his future
happiness. On the afternoon before
the day set for Helen’s departure
he became desperate. They had
gone by canoe to the lake's north
end for a picnic lunch, and were re
turning when it suddenly started to
rain.
It was one of those sudden, sum
mer downpours that are usual to
upper New York state, quick to
come and as quick to go. Before 10
minutes had passed, both of them
were drenched to the skin. A quar
ter-hour later Stan nosed the canoe
into the beach below his father’s
camp. The rain had stepped, but
the sky was still overcast and a
chilling wind had come up.
’’Cold?” he asked anxiously, help
ing Helen to alight. She looked at
him and smiled. “Not a bit." But
her teeth were chattering.
Stan stood looking at her a mo
ment Suddenly, impulsively, he
seized her in his arms. “Helen, I
love you. I want you for my wife
—have wanted you for five years—
been afraid to ask—afraid of ruin
ing our beautiful friendship. Will
you marry me?”
Thirty minutes later they came
up the walk to the camp, came into
the living room where a cheery,
warm blaze crackled in the open
fireplace. Mr. and Mrs. Dumont
turned to look at them with expres
sions of concern.
But Stan and Helen had begun to
talk at once. “We’re engaged!” they
said, breathlessly and laughed.
Stan went on: "Now, I know what
you meant, Dad. I mean, when you
said there’s one thing that never
changes.”
Mr. Dumont looked from his son
to Helen and a twinkle came into his
eyes. “Well, well,” he said. "So
you found out, eh?” He turned to
his wife and took her hand. "I was
afraid, too, son. Afraid if I pro
posed, it might ruin everything. I,
too, thought that the proper kind of
setting would, well, help my cause
along. But, in those days a man
couldn’t select his locale, and after
the day on the Public Garden’s
bridge, J realized how foolish I’d
been to think that anything so im
portant could be changed by a set
ting.”
“Oh, it doesn’t make the slight
est difference when you’re—” Helen
broke off, blushing deeply.
Mr. Dumont smiled. He looked at
her, her hair matted to her fore
head, her lips blue with cold, her
clothes clinging with wetness to her
slim young form. And he looked at
his son, about whose.shoes a puddle
of water had formed, and he nodded
understandingly. "I can see that,”
he said. "Even without my memo
ries of the Public Garden’s bridge,
I can believe that a proper setting
doesn't make much difference when
you're in love.”
Green-Eyed Monster
By THAYER WALDO
(McClure Syndicate—WNU Service.)
IACK gazed steadfastly at her and
sulked. There was. after all, lit
tle else he could do. No use to pro
test—make a scene—only to be hu
miliated by some cutting remark
from her. He suppressed a sigh and
set his mouth in a determinedly si
lent line.
Obvious to this turmoil in the
breast of the male beside her, Aithra
Donovan laughed and chatted airily.
Four men surrounded her, giving
rapt attention to each syllable.
The situation galled Jack cruel
ly. He and Aithra. he felt, could be
so matchlessly happy together if it
weren’t for this constant problem.
Men, men, men—they hovered ever
about Aithra as yellowjacks around
a jam-pot.
“All right!” It was the director
speaking. “Miss Donovan and Mr.
Kilgore, please; we’re ready for
scene eleven, sequence B.”
Aithra left her admirers and went
toward the set.
It was a brief and intimate little
scene, involving just the couple. Ai
thra, as a debutante of the nine
ties, was required to incite by sub
tle suggestion a proposal from her
hesitant beau.
"You comport yourself, dear
friend David, almost as if my com
pany bored you.” The line was spo
ken with a note of tantalizing coy
ness that stabbed Jack; she so rare
ly used it with him.
“I do wish, if only for vanity’s
sake, that you were not quite so
distant."
Jack listened rebelliously to
the fellow’s stammered apology;
watched with mounting hatred as
he crossed the set to sit beside her.
“Ah, then you truly like me?”
Aithra was cooing For answer, Kil
gore pressed his hand to his lips.
Jack’s breathing labored. Love, to
him, meant a devotion so great that
to diffuse it was unthinkable. But
Aithra was an actress; her life con
sisted of endless angling for the fa
vor and notice of those around her.
Yet Jack was incapable of view
ing it so. The cravings and de
mands of his passionate nature
spurned compromise.
He half rose, then sank back again
as someone called, “Cut!” and the
pair separated. The director said:
“Not quite enough fervor, I’m
afraid, Mr. Kilgore. Remember,
you’ve been the bashful suitor a long
while and now that you’ve gotten
started, you give it everything. Let’s
try another take on that last part;
okay?”
Both players nodded, and in an in
stant Kilgore was once again blurt
ing forth his awkward proposal. As
before, Aithra gave an eager affirm
ative and fairly threw herself into
his arms. Savagely Jack fought for
mastery of his rising gorge. But
this time the thing was too strong
for him. Unreasoning fury gained j
control at sight of the ardor those ;
two put into their embraces. He
commenced to twitch all over, j
sprang to his feet, and dashed to- ;
ward them. A cameraman saw him 1
coming and tried to block the way,
but too late. Jack was past him
and lunging at Kilgore. Then Ai
thra’s voice rang out piercingly:
“Jack—stop it!!” .
The command entered his seeth
ing brain like a knife thrust, and
suddenly the madness dropped from
him. Bracing his feet, he pulled up
short with stiff, quivering legs and
head adroop. The hand of the wom
an he loved slapped stingingly
across his face and she cried:
“You bad brute, you! From now
on you’ll stay at home! . . . I’m
So sorry, Mr. Kilgore. It’s odd;
collies are the most insanely jeal
ous dogs. Did you see that green
flame in his eyes?”

Transforming a Box
Into Smart Ottoman
By RUTH WYETH SPEARS
DAD the top of a box and slip
1 cover it; then add a separate
cushion three inches thick. The
result will be a smart ottoman
that either may match or contrast
with the cover of your favorite
chair. The little feet made of
drawer pulls keep the ottoman
from looking like a box. A corded
seam where the skirt of the slip
cover joins the top, and an invert
ed pleat at each corner of the skirt
also give a professional touch.
If down or feathers are used to
fill the separate cushion, make an
inner cushion of ticking with a
top and a bottom piece the size of
the box top; and a straight three
inch piece around the sides. If
kapok is used for filling, this inner
cushion may be made of muslin.
