BY GEORGE GIBBS Auther of “Youth Triumphant” and Other Successes. . WHO'S WHO IN THE STORY. Cherry Mohup, a typical girl of tie period, inclifed to Sapperism and wholly independent in her bearing and opinions.

That ride had taken “sand,” and to Cherry and” in a man more to be chosen than great riches or any per- sonal qualities that he could possess. for the talk of deeds of valor h been in the very air that she had breathed. She dressed slowly, and then with rush at the end of her toilet went down to greet her guests, who were already arriving. Dinner at the Mo- hun houses had none of the aspects of formality, for Alicia Mohun had discovered that the easiest way to lose desirable acquaintances was to give tedious dinners, and that the path to their hearts jay through their desire not to be bored by unnecessary stodgines: To Alicta Mohun, as indeed to most of the matrons of her set, Sunday was merely a day for soclal specialization. Hence (he wternoon “at home” for the encouragement of laudable artis- tic ambitions. Surely fate was with her In this. And where was the harm In having people in to dinner, provid- ng one foreswore “auction’ The dinner for which Cherry dressed was the first of a series to he given to groups of debutantes who were to be her assoclates in the com- !ing winter campaign. And the merry rowd which filled the large d wing room gave every evidence of sharing Cherry's liveliest propensities. The | friendships of most of them had been inherited from school and college days and they all called one another ¥ their Christlan names. Cherry, meanwhile, was engaged in spirited conversation with Dicky wil- herforce, who was telling her about the new Verville racing plane. and. in her interest in her forthcoming flight, was completely obvious of her sur- roundings. But a reckoning with her brother Bob, who sat In his fathe: H place at the head of the table, awaited ; her, and it came with a suddennes: which surprised her.

This new method of packing brings it to you as fresh, juicy and full-flavored as if just out of a newly-opened nut. The process was worked out by the largest coconut manufac- turer in the world to meet the ever-increasing demand ok coco- nut at its best. Ever since coconuts were first brought to America from the ‘West Indies, the taste for coconut has been growing. In the South- ern cities where it could be got in its fresh state, perhaps sixty r cent of the dessert recipes of every usewife are coconut dishes. And all over the country, where it is generally known only in its dried form, it is in- creasing in popularity. For years the greatest coconut experts have been working to find a way of pack- ing it so that everybody everywhere could have it as moist and tender as the fresh-grated coconut the Southern housewives buy in the market. coconut makes. will never know how Until you have tried this new moist coconut you y good coconut pie can be Baker's Coconut, Southern Style, is the result. Itgives you coconut packed moist —but without the milk—in air-tight tins, like fine fruits. Cakes baked wif fresh for days. The explanation beside the picture of the scaleswill tell you why. Try it in your pies, puddings, cookies, your jello dishes; and on your sliced, canned or stewed fruits. You will be surprised at the difference this' moist it stay *To know why your cake grows stale overnight when made with ordinary dry coconut—make this simple test: Balance any dry shredded coconut with an equal quantity Baker’s Coconut, Southern Seyle, on small hand scales. Place a dish of water under thescale pans. The pan containing the dry coco- nut will gradually sink lower and lower as it absorbs e moisture. It will rob your cake of moisture in the same way. Baker’s Coconu, packed moist in its own juices, never steals moisture from your cake. ISPANIS EDUCATIONAL. SCHOOL OF WASHINGTON Profs. _from d Progress = COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF DRAFTING Roy C.
