THE STORY SO FAR: Charlotte
(Cherry) Rawlings, an orphan, has been
at Saint Dorothea’s convent school since
she was seven years old. She knows al-
most nothing about her early history, but
has gradually realized that like other
girls at the school she has no family and
questions whether she has a right to her
father’s name. Judge Judson Marsh-
banks and Emma Haskell are her co-
guardians. When she is twenty Marsh-
banks tells her that Emma has gotten
her a secretarial position in San Fran-
cisco with wealthy old Mrs. Porteous
Porter. She goes first to the Marsh-
banks mansion and dines alone with the
judge as Fran, his young wife, and his
niece, Amy, are dining out. Kelly Coates,
an artist, drops in, and Fran and Amy
stop on their way out. As they leave,
Cherry hears laughing reference to her
convent clothes and she is bitter. Life
with Mrs. Porter is monotonous, and she
Is thrilled when Kelly, horseback riding
in the park with Fran, stops to talk with
her while she is motoring with her em-
ployer. Later he sends her a box of
candy and she is jealous when she
sees him with Fran at a party given
by Mrs. Porter. Emma tells Cherry
Those of you who have chosen
homemaking as a career can set
aside a half day
for baking your
own goodies right
in your own oven.
There are few
things nicer than
coming into a kitchen full of busy
bustling, testing the cake, plump-
ing fat loaves of bread on racks to
cool, or packing cookies in fresh
wax paper for pantry shelves—for
those fine boys in the service!
When sugar rationing first came
into the picture, most of us feared
that it would not allow enough for
home baking needs, but we have
found ways to make sugar stretch.
Or, perhaps we should say, corn
syrups and honey to make baking
possible.
With eggs up in’ price and fats
becoming scarce, we have changed
our recipes to fill these needs, too!
Today’s recipes may not call for
the quantity of materials that yes-
terday’s did, but they can make
just as tempting a product.
♦Hot Water Sponge Cake.
(Makes 2 8-inch layers)
1 cup sifted cake flour
1% teaspoons baking powder
% teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
% teaspoon lemon juice
6 tablespoons hot water
Sift together flour, baking powder
and salt. Beat eggs until thick and
fluffy, about 10 .
Bolero Frock.
CIMPLE but so attractive is this
• bolero- frock which will be worn
more and more as the weather
gets warmer. Right now, worn
with bolero, it has a casual spring-
time look. Comes summer, worn
without bolero, it can be put to
good use as a sun-tanner.

He stopped at the gloomy Porter
mansion and got out and went up
to the door with her.
“You’ll never know what you’ve
done for me tonight,” Cherry said in
the dark columns of the entrance.
“You did something for me too.
I’ve been seeing blue devils all day.
Listen,” he went on in a brighter
tone, “here’s a bargain. If you get
too down, you telephone me, and if
I’m going crazy any time I’ll tele-
phone you, and we’ll walk it off
together. There are swell walks up
over the hills over my way. How
about it?”
“I would think it the nicest thing
that ever happened to me,” she said
in a low tone. a
“It’s a go, then.”
“There’s only one thing. If we
do that then I mightn’t ever have
any troubles,” Cherry explained, her
hand in his.
“You know what you ought to get
for that!” His arm held her lightly,
his lips brushed her forehead and
he was gone.
Emma had gone with her kitten to
the country now, and Cherry was to
leave for Palo Alto in a few days,
to take possession of a room in the
house of one Mrs. Pringle, and to
begin summer-school work and to do
a certain amount of coaching so as
to be able to enter college as a regu-
lar student in the fall. On this par-
ticular day she was going down in
the limousine with Fran who had a

Lynn Says:
Tie a String Around Your Fin-
ger: The technique’s different
when you do your own vegeta-
bles—and you must keep these
pointers on tap if you would get
the most out of them:
Peel potatoes thinly—their min-
eral treasures are hidden right
under that skin.
Use green vegetables as soon as
possible after buying. They lose
quantities of their vitamin C just
sitting and being exposed to air.
Add dressing immediately to
vegetables and fruits after cut-
ting them. The coating prevents
some vitamin loss.
Put away the soda box when
cooking green vegetables. It’s
alkaline and destroys vitamins.
Shell peas or lima beans only
just before using. Wash leafy
greens just before cooking. The
percentage of vitamin loss will
be lessened.
Start cooking frozen foods be-
fore thawing. It is believed that
less vitamin C is destroyed by
that method.

“Well, that—that—he went on talk-
ing about it, and that Aunt Emma
was so fine even if she was rather
cold, and then he said that his broth-
er Fred was really a good person
but impulsive and always getting
into trouble ...”
“His brother Fred!” Kelly had
kneeled to straighten a slipped log
in the fire. He shot her a look
over his shoulder. “Fred was Amy’s
father?”
“Yes. Amy’s name is Amy Marsh-
banks.”
“That’s right too. There was an-
other brother?”
“No. Only Amy’s father.”
Kelly stopped his pipe halfway to
his mouth and stared at her.
“Huh,” he commented, in a brief
sound like a grunt.
“And it — it killed me,” Cherry
said, not crying now, but pale and
beginning to be agitated again. “It
killed me! She’s always had every-
thing—she’ll have more now—but
it’s not that! It’s that they all loved
her and wanted her and they’ve
made so much of her and she’s al-
ways had—I mean, I don’t want
anything she has—but they love
her . .”
She steadied suddenly at the sight
of his attentive but not too sympa-
thetic face and for a moment looked
at him in silence.
“I mean,” she went on presently,
gaining self-control with every word,
“I mean that it—it sickened me to
think that Amy and I are half sis-
ters, and that he, my father,’ could
treat my mother so terribly—my
mother was so gentle, and she was
ill so long! And she got nothing,
and I spent all those years at Saint
Dorothea’s while Amy was travel-
ing ...”
Her voice trailed off into an
ashamed silence; the look she
turned to Kelly became aggrieved
and then apologetic. For a full min-
ute neither spoke, and then Cherry
said something timidly, “Don’t you
think that’s terrible?”
“You rather knew, I suppose,”
Kelly began, “that things in your
background had been somewhat ir-
regular?”
“Oh, yes, I did. Indeed, I did!
They don’t tell you anything at Saint
Dorothea’s, you know, but of course
the girls talk'. And we read books.”
“Well, then, looky, Cherry. Why
is it so much worse to know that
your father came of a good family,
and that he really tried to do what
he could for you? I suppose it was
he who supported your mother, Em-
ma’s sister, and left money to take
care of you?”
“Yes; the judge said so today.”
“You’re better off than I am,”
said Kelly. “You’re twenty and I’m
thirty-one. You’ve got all the world
before you, and I’m so damned in
love with a married woman that I
don’t know what to do with my-
self.”
He glanced at his watch. “It’s
ten-ten. I’m going to run you home.”
They went out into the darkness to

and that I had a nurse named
Emma.”
“Fran told me something about
it.”
“At least I thought she was my
nurse, and I used to imagine that
my mother had been—well, rich, I
suppose, because someone had left
money to take care of me—and that
Judge Marshbanks was my guard-
ian.”
“I see. Go on, Marchioness.”
“Well, then when I came down
and they’d found me a position with
Mrs. Porter, Emma told me one
day that she was my mother’s sis-
ter. She wasn’t a nurse at all, she
was—she is my aunt!”
“A jolt, huh?”
“I don’t think it was a jolt be-
cause she was a housekeeper and
because I’d always thought of her
as a nurse,” Cherry said.
Close to tears again she looked
blindly into the darting daggers and
stars of the fire, and tried to steady
her trembling lips.
| “My dear girl,” Kelly Coates said,
‘taking his pipe from his mouth,
“loads of people are going to love
you, don’t you worry!”
Cherry laughed brokenly, stealth-
ily wiped her eyes, and went on,
“but, you see, Mrs. Porter left me
some money—”
“Well, bully for her!” Kelly com-
mented. “Have a good cry over
that!”
“They read the will today. The
house is going to be a museum, and
lots bf the furniture will be left
there, and Amy gets a lot, and we
all get money.”
Cherry paused as if undecided how
to proceed, then rushed on, “But
then—but then, after they’d read
the will, Amy and the judge and I
were having tea in the library, and
we were talking about what Amy’d
do and what I’d do and all that,
and I happened to call Emma ‘Aunt
Emma.’ ”
Here’s a hint for the workshop:
In filing a saw, first smoke the teeth
with a lighted candle. This will
make it easy to see the fresh filing
and to hold the file at the right
angle for the job.
Children’s Shoes should be plen-
ty large when bought—but not
large enough to slip around and
rub the feet. When they get too
small, they should be passed on to
some one else, if they are not worn
out, for wearing too-small shoes
when a child may cause serious
foot trouble all through later life.

“I’m in tr-trouble and I’ve

you’d come—come—come and
take me for a drive!” stam-
mered Cherry.
“I—I’ve had—bad news—and I’m
—all—all alone!”
“Trouble, Marchioness?” Kelly
said, instantly concerned. “Hold ev-
erything, and I’ll be there in twenty
minutes, and you come on over here
and have supper with me. Hey?
Good girl! I was just feeling very
low and blue and we’ll fix each oth-
er up. I’m on my way!”
Kelly would not let her begin on
the story of her troubles until she
had eaten. Then he piled things on
a tray, carried them away, came
back to sit in the chair opposite
her, stuffing his pipe and looking
expectantly toward her.
“Now, who’s been mean to you?”
She gave him a flicker of a smile,
but immediately her face was se-
rious again.
“I feel so ashamed of having both-
ered you with it! But I—I felt that
I was going mad, and you were the
only friend I could think of. I just
thought that if you were coming to
town you might take me for a drive.
I didn’t mean all this!”
“I tell you my troubles,” he re-
minded her, drawing on his pipe.
“You see, we girls at Saint Doro-
thea’s never know much about our
families. It isn’t a regular school,
you know. There aren’t any vaca-
tions, and no relatives coming to

call or two to make in Atherton and
Menlo Park, and who would pick
Cherry up for the return trip after
Cherry had introduced herself to her
new landlady and inspected her
quarters.
When she and Fran were in the
car, Fran said presently, “Run the
window down, will you, Cherry? It’s
warm.”
“Wouldn’t you rather have the
side windows down?”
“No, I want to speak to Rousseau.
Rousseau, go the old road, will you,
please?” Fran asked, when she
could speak to the chauffeur. “For
I promised I’d stop at the antique
shop.”
The young Frenchman did not
turn his head. But he nodded slight-
ly.
“No, wait a minute, I think we’ll
do that after we leave Miss Rawl-
ings in Palo Alto,” Fran changed it
suddenly.
“Now what’s she about?” Cherry
thought. “She’s meeting someone!”
“I’ve not seen Kelly Coates for
weeks,” Fran presently said
thoughtfully, as if reading Cherry’s
mind. “He telephones, but I haven’t
happened to be in. I like him, too.”
“He likes you,” Cherry said dar-
ingly.
“You see Kelly now and then,
don’t you?” Fran asked.
“Now and then.”
“Lately?”
“The day we closed up Mrs. Por-
ter’s house—that was day before
yesterday—I saw him then,” Cher-
ry said, omitting any mention of the
Sausalito visit. “We walked a little
while in the Presidio.”
“You like him a lot, don’t you?”
the soft, hoarse voice with its hid-
den notes of laughter and of tears
asked simply.
Cherry felt the blood in her face.
“I—guess so,” she admitted; swal-
lowing.
“Too bad,” Fran said absently.
“I’m sorry about Kelly! I was very
unhappy when I married Jud,” she
presently went on, “and I told him
that although I didn’t love him as I
might love some man some day—
he’s twenty-two years older than I
am, you know . . .”
“But that’s all the more reason,”
Fran began again, after a pause,
“why I should play fair with him.”
She paused. “Cherry, I wonder if
you will do something for me.”
“I’d be so glad, Mrs. Marsh-
banks!”
“To begin with,” Fran said with
a direct smile from under her silky
black bangs, and ultramodern hat,
“don’t call me Mrs. Marshbanks!
It sounds as if I were an elderly
aunt.”
“Fran, then. What can I do?”
“I’m trying to think it out, exact-
ly,” Fran answered. “I think I
mean that I’d like you to be a friend
of Kelly’s, Cherry, and help him see
my position. If I were free,” Fran
went on thoughtfully, “I’d marry
him. But I’m not free. You see.
Cherry, two years ago—more than
two years ago, when we’d been mar-
ried—oh, perhaps eighteen months
or so—I told Jud that I wanted to
live my own life. I didn’t want to
be his wife any more—suddenly I
went restless and unhappy, and it
was that. I didn’t want to be his
wife!”
Fran continued: “Perhaps I’m a
little less scrupulous than I might
be about—I won’t say flirting, I hate
the word! But about friendships with
men, liking men. I can’t help it.
I’ve made ...” And to Cherry’s
astonishment the dark eyes so near
her own were suddenly misting.
“I’ve made such a mess of my life
so far,” Fran said, “that I’m going
to play the game now.”
“So if you can,” Fran concluded,
as Cherry continued to watch her in
silent fascination, “put that to Kel-
ly. He likes you. He thinks you’re
interesting. And you see, nowadays
I don’t see him at all. I promised
Jud I’d not see him unless it was
unavoidable, and it is avoidable.
“This is your place; it looks com-
fortable enough,” Fran said as the
car stopped. “Ask Rousseau to go
to the gas station in Atherton, will
you, and we’ll find out there where
the Rasmussen place is. And we’ll
be back for you at five.”
Cherry, delightfully thrilled, de-
scended at a green hedge not too
well trimmed. Mrs. Pringle,, large
and untidy, took her up to her room,
which was large,
