I BANDBOX BETTY I Bv MARY KEMPE CHEATHAM misplaced commas, Mr. Humphreys was happy, John seemed happy and Betty was almost happy. Only that was all that ever happened. Never once had John attempted to kiss her or even hold her hand. He was, she concluded finally, a confirmed bachelor. "Just as I," she thought, poking savagely at the typewriter keys, "am a confirmed old maid." It was a Saturday, almost noon quitting time. John had not called, and the future suddenly became a whole series of weary calendar pages, neatly torn off day by day and deposited in the wastebasket As she walked from the building, there was John's convertible parked at the entrance. "Get in," he called, "we're going on a picnic!" It was amazing how his red hair could brighten up the day! Betty was happily in the car before she even noticed his female compan-ion. "Oh!" she gasped. For there, huddled between John and a bulg-ing picnic basket, was a startling apparition a little girl with freckles, wide blue eyes and the same red hair! "Relax," smiled John. "Muggsy i' just my niece. Every year, about thii time, I take her on a picnic." "Oh," said Betty again, uncertain ly. Muggsy gave her a broad grin HEAT shimmered from the pavements. Torrid light fell in bars through the Venetian blinds in Mr. Humphreys' private office, carrying with it a coppery odor, like that of a penny clutched too long in a perspiring palm. It was a hot day all right, and the city lay panting under the noonday sun. "Leave the door open. Miss Bar-clay,", called Mr. Humphreys, as Betty returned from lunch. "Let the air circulate." "Whew," he added, mopping his brow, "we've got to get some air conditioning in this hotbox." Betty smiled, removing her white gloves and her crisp white hat. Mr. Humphreys said the same thing every summer. She laid her gloves and white purse neatly away in the bottom desk drawer and sat down at the typewriter. With her blonde hair sleek and smooth and her pale green dress miraculously unwrin-kle- d, she looked as cool and fresh as an iced limeade. "How do you do it. Miss Barclayl" "Would you," she asked, "have had coverage for THAT?" The card read, "John J. Thomas, Insurance." The young man chuckled, too. "I came here," he remarked, "to talk to Mr. Humphreys about accident Insurance." "Sure, sure," murmured Mr. Hum-phreys, still shaken. "Come right in. Have one of the boys put that thing on a bracket for you," he said to Betty, indicating the fan. When they emerged from Mr. Humphreys' sanctum, John Thomas had a pleased expression on his face and, no doubt, a policy in the bag. "It was really her fault, you know," he remarked to Mr. Hum-phreys, loitering at the door. "She looked so cool, I didn't even see that chair." "Miss Barclay always looks cool In summer," said Mr. Humphreys proudly, "and neat all the year 'round." marveled Mr. Humphreys, entering the cubicle of an outer office where she sat as secretary and receptionist. "You can't be as cool as you lookl Anyhow, let's put this fan out here somewhere to stir up a little breeze." He looked around vaguely, pulled out a chair a few feet from Betty's desk, set the fan on it, plugged in the cord and returned to his own large desk through the open door marked Private. Betty gazed doubtfully at the fan whirring away on the chair before her. She anchored the fluttering pa-pers on her desk with paperweights, and, with a little frown of annoy-ance, smoothed back the tendrils of hair which were beginning to blow loose from the bun at the nape of her neck. She caught Mr. Hum-phreys looking at her and smiled. After all, Mr. Humphreys was the boss. If he wanted to go around putting electric fans on chairs, it was no business of hers. Anyway, i f ,t r w - 1 l ' - Muggsy gave her a broad grin, the more effective for three miss-ing teeth. "You're pretty," she said. "I like you." Mr. Humphreys was nice. Nice, and quite, quite happily married. They were all quite happily mar ried, thought Betty with a sigh, as she began on her transcription. All the really nice members of the of-fice force in the other departments, all the nicest salesmen. That busi-ness of romance in an office was just something you read about in magazines. "Is Mr. Humphreys in?" She looked up as a tall, broad-- shouldered, young man strolled toward her desk and thrust a business card into her hand. Be- - fore she knew ,what was happening, he had pulled up his trouser leg3 slightly, to preserve their meticulous crease, and had begun to assume a sitting position over the whirring fan. "Don't sit down!" Betty shrieked, simultaneously with Mr. Humphreys' shout. The young man catapulted away from the chair as though a bomb suddenly had sprung from the fan blades. Backed against Betty's desk, he stared, then grinned. Mr. Humphreys, flown to the rescue, was mopping his brow again, but not from heat. 'That," he said, shakily, "was a narrow escape." He disconnected the fan and stood, bewilderedly, holding Her composure regained now that catastrophe had been averted, Betty became once more all cool efficiency. She glanced at the card. She chuckled. She could not help It "Like she's just stepped out of a bandbox," John continued. Betty flushed. She had had the expression applied to her before. Since her first days with the com-pany, she knew she had been fa-miliarly referred to by the other employees as "Bandbox Betty," but It was disconcerting to be discussed In this fashion. "The least she can do," he teased, "is give me a dinner date." "That's fair enough," echoed Mr. Humphreys, "if it's all right with Miss Barclay." "Well," conceded Betty, "but I warn you, I have all the insurance I need." Dinner with John Thomas was distinctly pleasant. It was cool in the Orchid room and the table ap-pointments were perfect The floor show was good, the food even better. From cocktail to parfait, the courses were faultless. John himself met every requirement as an escort Betty began to be glad Mr. Hum-phreys had put the fan on a chair. "Not a hair out of place," John commented. "They drill It into you," countered Betty, "at secretarial school. White collars, tidy fingernails, all that" "I'LL BET," John said, suddenly, eyes twinkling, "YOU WOULDN'T EVEN GET MUSSED AT A PIC-NIC!" She had a number of dates with John, their tempo always smooth and pleasant. Her work suffered no the more effective for three missing teeth. "You're pretty," she said. "I like you." She climbed into Betty's lap and settled herself with a com-fortable sigh. "You've got a pretty dress," she added, stroking it with a hand which was just a trifle grimy. Betty looked down at her wrinkled skirt but under the child's weight it could not be straightened. John, busy with getting the convertible out of the Saturday traffic, appeared not to notice. He looked different in wash trousers and sports shirt Muggsy, too, wore a washable print dress. Betty ruefully considered her office apparel but made no comment As they drove, the wind whipped at Betty's hair. She had no net and all she could do was keep pinning the strands back in place. When they reached the picnic spot Muggsy jumped up and down in de-light "C'n I wade, Uncle John, c'n I wade?" she called, casting off shoes and socks and stepping Into the creek. "I'm going to look for crawdads," she declared, peering stealthily under rocks in the shallow stream, now and then letting her dress tail dribble in the water. Betty was gazing into a pocket mirror, trying to smooth her hair. "Come help me," John called, piling twigs in a little rock fireplace. "You unpack the lunch, while I build a fire to make the coffee and broil the steaks." The fire smoked, ashes fell into the coffee, the charred stick forks made smudges. Betty did her best to stay neat but Muggsy was every-where at once, dribbling steak-juic- e, mustard and catsup. A stinging sen-sation crept behind Betty's eyelids as she recalled John's admiring words, "I'LL BET YOU WOULDN'T EVEN GET MUSSED AT A PIC-NIC." She pulled ineffectually at her wrinkled frock, dabbed with a handkerchief at stains, wiped the dust from her shoes. It was unfair of John to put her to such a test The picnic dragged mercilessly on to an amusement park where Muggsy wanted to ride a roller coaster. Betty shuddered. She hated roller coasters, she hated flying turns, but she found herself hurtling through space with John and Muggsy in any number of crazy fashions. When they emerged, her bun was quite gone, the blonde hair , hanging loosely about her shoulders. Her shoes were full of shavings from the amusement park grounds, she had a run in her hose and her face was smudged and devoid of makeup. John stared at her and laughed aloud. "What," he asked, "has be-come of Bandbox Betty?" Someone, she thought should slap his face, but before she could put the impulse into effect he had seized her hands and pulled her close. To her amazement he kissed her fierce-ly, before all the people In the amusement park, with Muggsy gig-gling at them both. Everything seemed to fade away as she kissed back. "That" he breathed, "is more like it" "I couldn't have stood it" he said, "to have you respond with nothing but a neat little peck."

The gardens, orchards, vineyards and berry patches are all at your disposal with their infinite variety. It's really easy to can fruit be-cause there is little to preparing it for canning, and provided you take care to follow directions noth-ing will spoiL Besides, well stocked shelves with a colorful array of fruit will make wintertime meals so much more easy to plan. Fruit may be canned without sugar for dietary reasons but, if you can eat sugar, plan to can fruit with sugar as it gives a better product IF YOU DEPEND upon home-canne- d fruit as a main item for winter, it's a good Idea to make up a canning budget For example, if you serve tomato juice four times a week, one cup a serving, plan to set enough aside for 40 weeks. This requires 40 quarts of tomato juice per person. For a family of five you'll need 200 quarts. Do you plan to serve apples twice a week? At one-ha- lf cup per serv-ing you'll need four quarts for 15 weeks or 20 quarts for a family of five. Peaches, at a half cup a serving twice a week for 40 weeks will amount to 10 quarts per person or 40 quarts for a family of four. If you serve berries twice every three weeks, at one-hal- f cup per serving, you'll need three and one-thir- d quarts per person to last 40 weeks. If you serve pears once every two weeks at one-ha- lf cup per serv-ing youll need two quarts to last one person 32 weeks. This amounts to 10 quarts for a family of five. Do you like to serve fruit Juice at Bartlett pears are good for can-ning but some people prefer the smaller Kieffer variety, which also are good If they are allowed to ripen in a cool place (60 degrees) for a week or two after picking. Any variety of plum may be canned as long as It is well flavored and ripe. HAVE YOU EVER found yourself in the midst of packing fruit Into jars and suddenly discovered that you won't have enough? This means digging Into th storage closet or running to the store for more, and then washing and ster-ilizing them. All this comes at a time when you should be rushing the food into jars as fast as pos-sible. Avoid this by figuring out how many jars you need ahead of time: One-ha- lf bushel of good-size-perfect peaches yields eight quarts. Six pounds of apples yield three to four quarts. One-ha- lf bushel of apricots gives nine to 11 quarts. One-ha- lf bushel of plums will give 10 to 11 quarts. Two and one-ha- lf pounds ot pears yield one quart Five cups (about two pounds) of berries will give one quart Eight to 10 tomatoes (212 to Sl2) pounds give one quart least twice a week? At one cup a serving, one person will need 15 quarts for 30 weeks. A family of five needs 75 quarts. DIFFERENT VARIETIES of fruit come out better in the canning process than others. If you will study these tips and abide by them you'll have fine results. Apples to be canned whole should be bright and red and hold their shape well although cooked. You'll find that Jonathans work out nicely for this method. For applesauce, tart apples like Duchess, Maiden Blush, Greenings or Early Transparent are best be-cause they cook to a mush easily. Use them at the peak of the season. Fully ripe apricots are Ideal for canning. Any good eating variety may be canned. Firm, d peaches make the best canned ones. Select or Hales that are fine tex-tured and delicately flavored. HAVE ALL EQUIPMENT, includ-ing jars with proper lids, ready. Check jars for nicked tops and cracks. Wash in hot soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Do this the day before. Use only fresh fruit and berries for canning. Discard those with badly broken skins, broken or over-ripe specimens. Pack cold or precook according to directions In chart Fill jars to within one and one-ha- lf Inches of top; add syrup to within one-ha- lf Inch of the top. Place Into a boiling water bath (with water coming an Inch or two above the jars.) Count processing time from the time the water starts to boll not when it Is just simmer-ing, unless so specified. If you use a pressure cooker, follow time given in chart After 24 hours cooling period, wash the jars off with a damp cloth, dry and labeL Store In a cool dry place. LYNN SATS: You Need to Enow These Canning Terms Acid foods Include fruits, toma-toes, ripe plmientoes, sauerkraut and green peppers. Non-aci- d foods are vegetables, meats, fish, poultry, game and soup mixtures. Precooking means boiling food a short time until it la thoroughly heated. Head space Is the space left, when filling a jar, at tha top. Boiling water bath, sometimes Qfllled hot water bath, equipment consists of a large vessel such as a wash boiler, lard can or kettle the bottom of which Is fitted with a rack or platform on which to set jars while they are processing. This should come fitted with a cover. Sealing means closing the jars airtight. Cold paek means filling the jars with food in its raw form. Hot pack means filling the jars with hot food from precooking. HUOUSEi5 IrliriTSi Here's a good treatment : scorched linen.
