There was no denying it, girls usually fell for Peter's line. He was smooth. Paul had seen it happen too many times. Fear gripped his heart as he thought it was about to happen again tonight this time to "too nice a girl." Pensively, Paul tugged at the chair under him and moved closer to the table in the El Zebra club. He passed his hand fondly and carressingly over the beaver jacket on the chair beside him. This was Ann a part of Ann the delicately Ann had said: "You don't mind, do you, Paul?" Of course he did! But he couldn't let Ann know, just then. "This is some brother you have." She smiled into Peter's face as they glided away. Some brother, is right! Paul thought. Probably laying it on again. Ann seemed to enjoy it. Paul didn't! Ann was his girl! Ann fitted into Paul's plans for that part of life he desired. A home. A charming wife. His heart melted every time he dared to think of it. He hadn't yet found the cour-age to tell her. Gracious, kind, beautiful Ann. But he had told her all about himself, his early boy- - tf "rt- irtii, irt ijjjAyiW. .ni lift in iiat How did you get in the apartment?" "Quiet, young un," Peter had said. He placed his hand over the mouthpiece of the phone. "Can't you see I'm busy?" "Sorry." "Say, who's Ann?" Peter whis-pered. "ANN!" Paul had almost shouted. "Give me that phone. Quick. Be-fore you wreck my life!" Yes, Ann knew it was his brother . . Peter told her after a few minutes of conversation . . . their voices sounded so much alike . . '. quite a kidder . . . she'd like to meet him. Why not bring him along tonight, on their date? . . . it would be nice . . . he'd probably be lonesome . . . she had said. Lonesome? What a thought to associate with Peter. New York would be just an interlude for him. ". . ; the superintendent let me in. You're looking great, Paul. The phone rang so I answered it. All right? Good. Transferred to Mas-sachusetts. You'll be seein' more of me now. Great town, Boston. Steeped in tradition. Girls conge-nial, too. Wouldn't exactly com-pare with the girls in Texas. But all right. Great." In the apartment Paul wasn't so sure he was doing the right thing taking Peter out on this date, he felt uneasy remembering Peter's technique. He had executed a feeler: "How about making it stag tonight?" "Nothing doing," Peter had said. "Besides, you've already made the date." True, the date was made and Ann did want to meet Peter. Would she be less susceptible to Peter's soft impeachment? Thank goodness this was the last dance. Paul feared the worst. He tried to put the fear from his mind. They were coming back to the table now, both of them laughing, hand-in-han- Paul tried to tell himself he was being foolish and torturing the depths of his heart with pain that never really should be there. The obsession stayed with him as they reached the street and there took on more agitation. Peter said: "Well, I'll leave you two alone now. The night is still young for me. See you later in the apartment, Paul. Good night, Ann." "Good night, Peter," Ann said. "Call me before you go away." TS THIS IT? Paul wondered. Is this the beginning to another brok-en heart? They watched Peter vanish down the dim lit street. He turned at the next corner and waved. In the next instant he was gone and with - him a still, hushed silence came over the empty street. The laughter, the gayety, the radiance left Ann's face. Paul prepared himself bravely for what was to come. Ann was talking: "Peter is fun." Fun? Was that how lasting love was defined? Had fun taken the place of love built on solid, deep-roote- d admiration? The love, the deepest affection that normally leads to marriage? Peter was not ready for that. Someone was bound to be hurt, cruelly; he'd not allow it to happen to Ann. He turned to her, words of protest rushing to his lips then suddenly heard her say: ". . . but of the twins, I like you best, Paul." Paul glowed. Ann somehow un-derstood understood that life with Peter, for any girl, would end so a wave of the hand. His heart beat-ing wildly, there on the walk, Paul took Ann into his arms, held her close and vowed to be himself for the rest of his life. Thank goodness this was the last dance. Paul feared the worst. He tried to put the fear from his mind. perfumed fragrance of the jacket pierced his troubled mind. Baffled and driven, he came to a decision. He resolved, after tonight, to ape and copy his twin brother's every move and loquacious banter. He'd do it and see how far that would get him for a change. Paul's eyes searched the dance floor for Peter and Ann. They had danced together for the fourth con-secutive time. Thank goodness this was to be the last dance, they had agreed to leave upon its completion. hood, he, the younger qf twins, he had even told her about Peter. He wasn't afraid of Peter then, with two thousand miles between them. They'd probably be married before Peter would meet her. Paul was afraid of Peter now. Breezy, garrulous Peter. Back home, Paul had always been re-ferred to as the quiet one, when the twins were the subject of con-versation. The trouble with himself, Paul thought, was that he had always given up too easily to Peter; from childhood up. Peter always did get tha best toys, the best bike, the best clothes, the best of everything. Ann was something Paul wanted more than anything else in his life. She represented the best of every-thing to him. Determination filled his lean, square-jawe- d face. He WAS the quiet one, up until to-night. Long live the new Paul! It would not be easy, Paul re-minded himself. Peter had years of experience along these lines. He regarded life about him with hard-ened indifference, and when Paul sought to reason with him, Peter's face would turn quite blank, his eyes evasive. He never argued, never changed. He'd find love, cul-tivate it to crop, taste of It, and leave It. Now, with the thought of losing Ann racing through his nervous system, Paul vowed his scruples were to undergo a change. Earlier in the evening Peter was In Paul's apartment talking on the phone. "Peterl" Paul said. "What are you doing in New York . . .T t , . - y f ; v ' ' ' ' . . f : , I Crisp Vegetables Serve as Centerpiece (See recipes below) Summer Vegetables ARE YOU MAKING the most of your garden? There are so many ways to serve vegetables, especially if you have your own garden-fres- h variety on hand. Of course, you can prepare them with enchanting sauces, or toss them crisp and icy into salads, but have you ever thought of using them in a centerpiece that can be eaten? There's no disputing the fact that radish roses, celery curls, cucumber wheels and the like are very at-tractive. And that's the thought of many a smart homemaker who whips these fancy, vegetables into a centerpiece for mealtime. Fancy gew-gaw- s that have been centerpiece standbys for too long a time should be retired, as strictly summer-styl- e creations of fresh vegetables put in their place will give the family a combination eye and appetite teaser. Try these tricks: Radish Roses Select firm, rather long radishes with unwilted leaves. Wash thor-oughly and cut tops, leaving about one inch of stem on each. With a thin sharp knife, cut thin slices lengthwise through the radish. Chill in ice water. Cucumber Wheels Peel cucumber; using a four-Une- d fork, score the cucumber lengthwise, then cut in thin slices. Chill in ice water to crisp. Carrot Curls Wash and scrape tender young carrots. Using an apple corer, shave off thin pieces lengthwise. Curl each piece around your finger and drop into ice water. Carrot Straws Wash, scrape tender young car-rots and cut in eighths, then cut in narrow strips about three inches long. Cover with a damp cloth and chill in refrigerator. Cauliflower Flowerets Wash carefully by running under cold water; then separate raw cauli-flower into flowerets. Chill In salted ice water until crisp. Scaliions Wash well, trim green stalks. Peel onion if skin is loose or shrivelled and chill in ice water. Celery Hearts Wash celery carefully. Remove outer stalk and save for salads or use in cooking. Trim root and cut into an oval shape. Cut through In thirds or quarters. Crisp in ice water. HERE ARE WAYS to prepare at-tractive platters of vegetables: Platter I Place cauliflower flowerets in one corner of platter, against this the carrot curls, then radish roses. Around this one corner may be placed in sections, the following vegetables: Carrot strips, cucumber wheels and celery hearts. Platter II Place well chilled ripe olives and green stuffed olives in center of large platter and separate these with carrot strips and celery hearts. Di-vide rest of plate into four sections and in each one place the following: Tomato slices, cucumber wheels, scaliions and radish roses. COOKED VEGETABLES also may be used for pretty platters. Each vegetable should be cooked only until it is tender, and served at once. Here's a lovely platter which may be used as a main dish: LYNN CHAMBERS' MENU Vegetable Centerpiece Sliced Roast Beef and Cheeses Potatoes Au Gratin Toasted Rolls Beverage Raspberry Pie Recipe Given Cauliflower Slivered Green Beans Tomatoes stuffed with Corn Wash cauliflower and let stand in salted water for one-ha- lf hour to remove any insects. Cook in salted water for 25 to 30 minutes. The to-matoes should be firm. Wash and scoop out insides leaving the shell. Fill this with seasoned kernel corn to which has been added some chopped green pepper. These should be baked with just a little water in the bottom of the pan. The green beans should be. washed carefully and picked over for any hard ends, then sliced lengthwise. They will take 30 to 40 minutes to cook. The cauliflower should be placed in the center of the platter, then banked with green beans, and the tomatoes with the corn and green pepper are placed around the green beans. Serve with melted butter. ANOTHER PRETTY SUMMER platter uses entirely different vege-tables but is very colorful: Cabbage with Sliced Carrots Lima Beans Fried Parsnips Parboil a large head of cabbage for 10 minutes. Remove all the in-side .leaves, so that only a few of the larger ones remain, leaving a huge cup. This is filled with carrots which have been sliced, or creamed If preferred, and cooked for 20 min-utes. Sprinkle with parsley. Around this place parsnips which have cooked for seven to 15 minutes, then fried until golden brown and crisp in a buttered skillet Lima beans are shelled and placed around that after cooking for 20 to 30 min-utes In boiling, salted water. Another platter uses a combina-tion of colorful white, green, yellow and red vegetables: Creamed Potatoes Carrot Strips Beets with Peas The potatoes are cooked after peeling, then cubed and creamed. If they are small leave them whole. The carrots are cleaned, cut in strips and cooked just until tender, about 20 minutes. The beets are cooked with skins, which are slipped off in cold water after cooking. Scoop a small hole in the beets and fill with peas. Place the potatoes in the cen-ter of the platter, carrots around those, and the beets and peas around the carrots. IF YOU HAVE a sectioned vegeta-ble dish, you may like to serve a variety of sauces with your vege-tables. Here is a nice variety from which to choose to add mora snap to vegetables: Vinegar-Baco- n Sauce Simmer cup minced onion in cup bacon drip-pings until tender but not brown. Add cup vinegar, one and one-ha- lf teaspoons salt, th teaspoon pepper and th teaspoon sugar. Heat and pour over green beans, brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale or other greens. Cheese Sauce Place one-ha- lf pound of processed cheese in the top of a double boiler and add one-ha- lf cup of milk as soon as cheese melts. This is good with potatoes, cauliflower and broccoli. Released by WNU Future LYNN SAYS: Keep Kitchen Cool During Hot Days It's best to do the main part of the cooking early in the day before it becomes so warm. For example, roast meat or bake meat loaf in the morning and serve cold for evening meal. Au gratin potatoes may be cooked, the cheese melted in a hot sauce, then mixed with potatoes, and the whole dish heated for 15 minutes In the oven. Prepare dinner during the early morning hours so that it will be crisp and cold when served. Cut fruit or vegetables for salads, make dessert and store in refrigerator during the morning. Many casserole dishes can be cooked more quickly if partially prepared on top of the range, thus saving oven time. Use refrigerator desserts, made early in the day, which save time at the last minute and which are re-freshing. I 'FIRST AID jfTl by Roger C. Wltai a fireplace in the house, the smokj odor may come from there. Wii there ever a fire in the house? QUESTION: My walls are co-vered with a very poor quality o! wallboard, which bulges here and there. It is covered with paper; but now shows a few cracks, which developed after the furnace ra started. What is the best thing u do with the walls? The expenses an item ; I'll have to have som-eone do all the work. ANSWER: For a good job i would be better to take off Ik board and replace it with one d better quality, properly put up a-ccording to the manufacturer's i-nstructions; or else nail up (ie boards over the old ones. In meantime, you might consider nailing down the bulges as well a you can, and then covering fc joints with strips of decorative wood moulding, such as QUESTION: The walls of our new home are all pastel-colore- d, rough-finishe- d plaster. Now "five o'clock shadow" is beginning to show around our high-wa- ll reg-isters. Our oil furnace has filters for the blower but, nevertheless, the soot on two walls looks black. How can I remove this grime and prevent a recurrence? ANSWER: To clean the walls, first remove as much loose dirt as you can by light brushing, and follow by cleaning with a wall-paper cleaner. The filters prob-ably are loaded down with dust and may need cleaning, if they are of the cleanable variety. If not, they may need to be replaced. QUESTION : The linoleum in our kitchen has risen up in a certain spot. It is inlaid linoleum over a felt base over plywood. Do you think if we bored a small hole in the linoleum and poured some kind of cement in, it would hold? What kind of cement would you recom-mend for this job? ANSWER: Try this method for flattening the bulge: Cut a slit in the bulge, following a line of the pattern so that it will not show. Then press linoleum cement under each side of the slit, working it well underneath with a spatula, or some similar tool. Wipe off sur-face smears promptly. If you can-not get linoleum cement, use roof-ing cement. Smears of roofing cement should be promptly wiped off with turpentine. Then place weights on top until the cement has dried hard. QUESTION: We bought an elder-ly house, which smells smoky. On wet days in winter the smoke odor is more noticeable. We have a gas burner in a steam furnace. Is the cause of the odor a dirty chimney? If so, would soot remover do any good? ANSWER: The chimney most probably needs a thorough clean-ing. A preparation might help to remove some of the odor in the lower part of the chim-ney; try it and see if it destroys the smell. If not, you had better call in a professional chimney cleaner to give the chimney a thor-ough cleaning. He will know how to do the work. It is an extremely dirty job that I do not think you could handle yourself.

TOOTH SAVER Remember that article in a nation-al magazine about the bad effects of opening your bob- - by pins with your teeth? Well, one of our scouts reports that she is now opening her bobby pins on a wire which she nailed tautly from one side of a wooden box to the other. She keeps her bobby pins in the box and opens them on the wire as she lifts them out. She says it's much easier to get a new piece of wire than it is to get a new set of teeth. She has something there! ALL OVER THE MAP Because so many of you collect pen pals just as you collect photos of Robert Mitchum and telephone calls you'll be interested in an entirely new system of keeping your correspond-ence in order.
