Make-Believe Bride1 by Ruth Harley > SIXTH INSTALMENT ^ She crumpled the note and put it the wastbasket. They wouldn’t likely be home for at least a couple of hours. She’d just make a cup of coffee and have some cake, for probably Patsy was going to give them a swell supper. Swiftly she remem bered how disappointed Pat had been that Rod had missed the duck dinner. Maybe she had planned this sur prise for him. Pat was always thinking about other folks and do ing nice things for them. Well, clip wmiU Kp d i totorsi to ts±A rvtor»« M. I -- -, more. I For a moment Maris wondered how Rod was making out, but only for a moment, because she suddenly realized that one of her favorite features was almost due on the radio, and turning the dial, she flung herself down in a comfort able chair, waiting for the coffee to "perk.” Then came the musical motif that signified the approach of the feature and a moment later she was completely transported to other realms. It was not until the players had been on the air for about half an hour that she re membered the coffee. Jumping from the chair, she darted into the kitchen just in time to salvage half a cup, and with that and a piece of cake, she returned once more to the living room to listen to the end of the play. But she was hardly seated till the door opened and Patsy and Johnny entered. "Home so soon?” questioned Maris as she greeted them. "Didn’t! you go to the movies after all?” j "Yep,” answered Pat, "but it was a rotten picture. Where’s Rod? Hasn’t he come over yet?” "No he left for Cleveland to day!” "He did?” cried Patsy. "What’s’ up—got a new job? "No, he’s got a chance to de-1 monstrate his radio gadget.” "Say, that’s great,” remarked Jimmy. "Good old Rod; I sure hope he makes a hit with it.” "So dp I.” exclaimed Pat. "But ij suppose^that’sl mein he’ll want toi marry you right away and taek you to the country,” she added,' looking at Maris as though she ex-j peered her to confirm her sugges tion. Maris smiled, but made no re-1 mark. Then, noting the coffee cup on the table, Pat said. "You haven’t looked in the ice-box, have you?”j "Of course not, although I’m starving,” answered Maris. jl "But I thought you’d have a bite j« before you came home tonight—j you usually do that on my night 1 Oil. IJ "Oh, it’s all right, Pat. I worked ] late at the office.” ! 1 "You did?” questioned Pat. j] "Yes,” replied Maris, almost too i eagerly. "I had to see about some i stuff in connertion with the ex position—at least Fayson’s part in ' it. And say, Rowene Quirk was in i in the morning, all dressed up in : the wedding gown she is going to 1 wear at the show. She looked gorge- ; ous.” ] "I don’t believe she’s any prettier than you,” remarked Jimmy. s "All right, folks, let’s eat,” Pat i said. "You can come and help me, Maris, and Jimmy can get us some t good music and not these blood-i < and-thunder dramas you’re so crazy ; about.” I "It’s too bad Rod couldn’t be < here,” declared Patsy, opening the > ice-box and revealing a sumptuous 1 meal of cold spiced tongue, with i vegetable salad and a delicious froz- 1 en dessert. “I just hope this trip t will bring, him some luck.

Perry Kicks, of Belton, . Tbxas. “I take Black-Draught for biliousness, constipation and other Ills where a good laxative or purga tive is needed.

You’re surely not keeping up that silly fight with him, about Dulcie? You must be crazy if you’d let a thing like that come between you —or—” Suddenly Patsy stood stock still in the middle of the kit chen floor. You haven’t thrown him over for the chance that one day Stan may talk to you?” Her eyes seemed to pierce the girl be side her. "Don’t worry, Pats, and work yourself up into a state. I’m not worth it, really. Only you may be! interested in knowing that I’ve a date with Stan tomorrow.” "A date with Stan?” Patsv re-, peated incredulously. "Oh, Maris,! do you know what you’re doing?”/ "There Pat, don’t get all 'het up.’ It’s only to tell him some thing about an announcement for the exposition. Guess he wants my reactions to it.” Laughing lightly, Maris shattered the tension of the moment. "Well, I’m glad, though you had me worried for a- minute.” "That’s silly. Stan’s engaged to. Rowene Quirk, so he hasn’t any, eyes for other girls.” (At least not! just now, thought Maris to herself.) i "If only I’d her money, what stun-1 ning clothes I’d have!” "He’s really engaged to her?”, demanded Pat. "Yes; one of the girls saw the! announcement in the papers, so not one of us girls will have a look-in, glanced again at the couple, she wouldn’t make a mess of her life by letting her heart rule her. What did marrying for love do for anyone? A cynical smile curled at her lips. Now she was glad she had not let herself be carried away by her emo tions. She must keep them under control. Whatever came of love matches that folks raved about, but disillusion when the couples came up against the practicalities of life? But suddenly all her calculated plans receivel a jar when Jimmy said "I guess Rod will be a rich man one of these days. One of the engineers down at our place was talking about his gadget. He thinks it will revolutionize radio recep tion.” "That would suit you all right, Maris, wouldn’t it?” questioned Patsy. "Yes, of course,” answered Mar is, "but no one knows y&t. It may only be a pipe dream.” "You don’t sound very enthusi astic over Rod”s ideas,” remarked Jimmy. "Oh, maybe I’ve heard so much about this wonderful gadget that I’m not going to believe in its wonderful future. Guess I’m from Missouri, and need to be shown.” There was a notfe of boredom in Maris’ voice as she answered. "Just wait till Rod comes back from Cleveland. Probably the en gine of the train he comes in on will be fying flags. I’ve a hunch he’s going to make good with it all right,” announced Patsy. i: ilowene Quirk was in that morning all dressed up in the wedding gown she is going to wear at the show s hough it’s a darn shame, for rich lusbands can’t be picked up at ev ry crossroads.” "It’s better so,” commented ’atsy, and for a moment Maris elt f: jrious at her. Even if she was! >erfectly content with Jimmy 3oyle and his future, other girls' lad dreams of really raising them-! elves through their marriages to’ mportant men. "Stan Fayson,” remarked Patsy,' 'would probably turn some work-! ng girPs head with his attentions nd wealth, and then she’d find lerself left high and dry when he ;ot tired of her. Well, I guess we’re eady to start. Come on, Jimmy.” "All right, sweetheart,” he an wered as he came into the dining oom and put his arm about Patsy. Maris caught the look of affec ion that passed between them, iomehow it annoyed "her. Patsy was jewel of a girl, but how could she >e satisfied with Jimmy? Yet she eemed to adore him. Somehow that ery fact seemed to make her feel ike throwing .Rod permanently nto the discard. Maris felt with er beauty she should surely do bet er in the marriage market than aarry a man who merely had a ab—even if she loved him. Well, she thought, now, as she "Yes,” echoed Jimmy. "I feel p that way too, although it may take a little while to make adjustments S on it, but when it’s ready for com- t mercializing I guess the shekels will p simply pour in. Say, Maris, you’ve u got a good thing in Rod.” And he f grinned at the girl. v "Maybe that’s what you think,” c she answered^ s After that the conversation r swung into a different channel. No t further mention was made of Rod q or his gadget, and Maris was glad t of it. She would not tell them she t was no longer interested in Rod. c Late that night as Maris stood at her window looking across the roofs r of Manhattan, a remark of Jim- s my’s echoed insistently in her ears, t "Yeah, it’s the rich guys that are t the biggest racketeers in the coun- v try. Fellows like young Fayson oft- p en have tie-ups with folks you’d never dream of. That’s why so t many of these investigations into c rackets suddenly go up in thin air a —the big guys behind them have flung around a bit of cash and ev- I erything’s okay again.” s As Maris watched the lights dis- g appear from window after window t she felt strangely troubled.

The kisses we have in mind follow his next line “and sweet as those , . .”—but stop there. They are, in truth, known more commonly as jusw wiwt yuu wdxic xor uose me ringues. The flow of electric heat into the oven is not only meas ured and accurately maintained, but the fine insulation of the oven keeps the heat in and not on some diligent cook’s brow. Another feature you’ll like about the modern electric range is “cold The low controlled heat of the electric oven insures the perfect baking of delicious and crunchy meringues. meringues. If your mother used to make these delicacies, they are to you, no doubt, as the poet says “dear as remembered kisses . . . and sweet as those”! Perhaps we’d better stop right now to make a distinction between kisses — the kind of which we’re speaking — and meringues. The smaller shapes are those known as kisses. They are very often sprin kled with chopped nuts, grated chocolate or candied fruit and served as tea wafers or confections. The meringues, which are usual ly made larger, are commonly known as meringue rings — you know those hard, crunchy meringue “nests” which are so good when filled with ice cream, fresh fruit or whipped cream. Haven’t you al ways wanted to try them? Well, here are the rules—true and simple. Contrary to many beliefs, me ringues really are easy to make. Low Temperature Required The most important of the steps in making them is in the baking. A very low oven temperature must be maintained throughout the en tire baking period in order to get that tender crunchiness — the ear marks of a good meringue. You’ll find the new automatic electric range just built to satisfy you in this,respect—as well as in many others. Its low controlled heat is f you made any investigations bout him you would surely discov r something pretty damaging about im. But the thought that a fel )w like Fayson should be linked up nth racketeers was staggering, ^hat good would that do him? He ad plenty of money. Why should Stanley risk such lady connections when he would ne day be the head of a big im orttant business? But then, Jimmy did talk a lot. ometimes Maris got bored wth his dking, but going around as he did, | robably he heard a lot. Still it was nthinkable that a man like Stan ayson should wish to link himself 'ith anything of a questionable haracter. Yet Jimmy had saidj >me of these rich men were so loney-mad, that even the big risk ley took in such undertakings was uite d'scounted, when they felt lat more money would be theirs if ley could transact such shady eals. Somehow she felt troubled as she smembered how Jimmy had in sted that he could mention more! ban one well known man who was1 be brains of some racket—men fhose wives, even, would not sus-j ect them of such activities. Of course she would not want! > marry that type man—there ould be no lasting happiness with background of this sort. Surely Jimmy must be mistaken, verything about Stan Fayson :emed to assure her that he was a entleman in the fullest sense of le word. Oh, why should he sug est such things, even hint at them, hen this dark-eyed, debonair oung man might play such an im oven cookery.” This eliminates pre heating of the oven—that bane of every cook’s existence. It is ever so much simpler just to place your meringues in the oven and then set the temperature control and turn on the oven at the same time. One-step baking also improves the product so, you see, there is meth od behind all of this delightfully pleasing “madness.” Meringues 4 egg whites 14 teaspoon vanilla 114 cups powdered sugar or 1 cup fine granulated sugar Beat egg whites until stiff. Add very gradually two-thirds of the su gar and continue beating until the mixture will hold its shape. Add flavoring, then fold in remaining su gar. Shape with spoon or pastry bag and tube cn cookie sheet cov ered with letter paper. (The paper keeps the meringues from sticking to the baking sheet. No, the paper won’t catch fire—not in the electric oven.) Place in cold electric oven on rack just above the center of oven. Set Temperature Control at 250 degrees F. Turn on oven for bak ing.1 Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. When removed from the electric oven the meringues should be very light brown and quite dry. portant part in her life? She tried to banish Jimmy’s words, tried to tell I herself he was "just talking.” But when she’s slipped between the sheets and her hot cheeks press-! ed against the cool pillow, there seemed to be something sinister hov ering about young Stan Fayson. | Then suddenly all her fine theor ies of a girl bettering herself by marrying a rich man, seemed to lose their power. Something within her cried out for Rod. Ffe was straight. He was true. He would never link himself with anything shady. lHad she made a mistake in passing up the love he offered her? But before she had reached a decision, drowsiness stole over her. Jimmy’s; pronouncement lost weight. Ev- jj erything seemed to grow blurred.! Maris had fallen asleep. Next morning when Maris reached the office, she hurried at once to her desk, read the announ cement Stan had given her, and finding nothing in it which she could improve upon, she decided to put it on his desk at once. But as he started down the corridor, j old Mr. Fayson’s door opened, and Stan almost collided with her. i Handing the paper to him, she! said, "There isn’t a thing to be changed as far as I see.” "That’s fine,” he answered j quickly. "Thanks very much.”i But as he turned to speak, Maris felt his eyes look questioningly into hers, and her cheeks grew rosy. Something told her he was aware of her for the first time. With a smile on her lips, she hurried back to her desk to meet the wide-eyed gaze of Milly. Continued next week. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON The Spread of Christianiay.. Lesson for September 27th. Matt. 13:24-33. Golden Text: Acts 14:27. This is a review lesson. We have been studying the birth and early growth of the missionary move ment. Naturally we turn our thoughts to our own day and in quire concerning the spread of Christianity in the twentieth cen tury. Is the missionary enterprise we ask, forging alfead in the spirit of its founders q£ the apostolic age? A full answer is given in "Re Thinking Missions,” the report of the recent laymen’s foreign mis isons inquiry. "If the future way of the mission is to be—as it can be—the exacting way of the best, its welcome abroad will be secure.” There can be no question that Christianity in the future will be increasingly international. Our world is rapidly shrinking. The old barriers of space and time are dis appearing. Think of what the ra dio and aviation are doing to bring the nations closer! All parts of the! world today are in intimate touch; with one another. Therefore -We are compelled to abandon the old-time distinction between home and for eign missions. The field is now one. It is apparent that the mis-, sionary enterprise is one organism, j all parts of it inter-related so that] the witness for Christ in one area! sets in motion forces which damage] for the better spiritual atmos phere in all other areas. But there is a stronger reason for the cultivation of a world view. Not only are we compelled to be world citizens by the revolutionary forces of applied science, but we are forced to think in terms of mankind as a whole by the example of Christ. And let us bear in mind that missions, in all their branches, are well established. There are 52,000 missionaries today, 23,000 Roman Catholic and 29,000 Protestant scattered in all five continents, and in most of the islands of the sea, with about ten million Christians under their charge. The work they are doing is of immense signifi cance.
