Your Government says that waste paper is
the No. 1 war shortage. There’s your oppor-
tunity!
For waste paper is everywhere. Newspapers,
ma. ...-. , wrappings, conugated paper...
bundie them all in packages about 12 inches
high and turn them in.
The very waste paper you tie up may well
be made into paperboard that packages the
K-rations, ammunition or blood plasma your
fighting man will use.
So enlist the children. Enthuse your neigh-

Although the natural source i
of vitamins is food, many moth-
ers realize that even careful;
cooking often reduces the
strength of these vitamins.
Futhermore, diets and personal
dislikes foi certain foftds cause
many to suffer from a shortage
of one or more vitamins.
Is it any wonder, then, so
many families now supplement
j their three good meals a day!
with a reliable multi-vitamin1
product? The thousands who
1 take Puretest Plenamins every
' day know that these potent vit-
amins capsules provide as many
U.S.P. units of vitamin A as are
provided in 4 1-2 pints of milk,
as many units of vitamin D as
provided in 2 1-4 pounds of but- j
ter and vitamin C equivalent of
2 ounces of orange juice. Plena-'
mins also contain the Vitamin
Bl equivalent of 4 1-4 pounds
of green beans and the Vitamin
G equivalent of 1 2-3 pounds of
beef-steak as well as other fac-
tors essental to human nutri-
tion such as Liver and Iron.
Be "Vitamin safe”—not “de-
ficiency sorry”. Take Purtest
Plemamins every day. They

Matthew’s, somewhat his senior.
I They'd have a long day. Matthew
would play golf. There would be
too much to drink and eat. Monday,
work would begin in earnest.
She said, “Matthew, on Mon-
day—”
“On Monday,” said Matthew
sleepily, “1 announce to a waiting
world that I nm open for business.
You're the drawing card, darling
. . . the prettiest office nurse . . .”
His voice trailed off. Suddenly he
roused himself and said in a brisk,
loud tone, “Wait till a year’s gone
by!”
“Why a year?” ,
But he was sleeping without
sound, his curly head on his arm.
his big bare chest rising and fall-
ing rhythmically.

his socks from unlikely places and
went to put them in the laundry

back cautiously, but he still slept
soundly; she hunted out fresh
socks, clean underwear. She
thought, I really should shine his
shoes. He’ll forget if I tell him
tomorrow to have them shined.
Well, she could in the morning,
when she got up early to get into
the bathroom ahead of him and to
cook breakfast. It will be so com-
fortable to have Nellie here, she
thought. Still, it worried her. Nel-
lie’s wages were higher than they
could afford to pay for a long time
and Mary had carried the burden
for so long, it wasn’t fair to expect
her to carry it now. Nellie, all the
extras which Matthew’s allowance
didn’t cover. And the office as well
—all that expensive equipment.
She thought, drowsing off, well
perhaps he’s right—perhaps in a
year. . . .

Morley. These two, a secretary
and a nurse, while Irene, doubling
in white, performed both duties for
her husband. She thanked heaven
every day of her life for Nellie,
who ran the apartment with the ut-
most efficiency. A cleaning woman
came in for the heavy work and
once a week, on Nellie’s day out,
Irene cooked dinner.
Luncheon was a matter of sand-
wiches and milk, sent in. and shared
with Matthew on his desk, if he
happened to be in the office. If he
was out on calls, he took lunch
Where he found it and his remark-
able digestion survived. During
the first year they often ate out
on Nellie’s day off but this proved
to be too expensive. Sometimes
Kate switched her day off, and they
went to Mary’s but as a rule Irene
managed to get home in time to
cook dinner. Under Nellie’s tuition
she was becoming a much better
cook, Matthew told her.
At the end of the second year the
books showed a profit and Matthew
was able to pay not only the up-
keep of the apartment but Nellie as
well. They couldn’t save, however.
He had to have good clothes, he had
to make an appearance and to
maintain his car. Office equipment
.came high and he* insisted upon the
best and the newest. Sometime ho

Matthew stopped in to see his

SYNOPSIS
M i:y Norman, attractive widow,
lived chiefly for her son. Dr.
Matthew Norman. The income
from her decorating shop had seen
him through college. She was
overjoyed when lovely Judith
Lembert, daughter of an old friend,
dropped in for a visit en route to
Maine for the summer. Mary had
indulged in mental matchmaking
anent Judith and her son . . . For
year., Lynn Mrrtimer, lawyer, has
been in love with Mary, but his
wife, a mental patient, was still
living. Mary was stunned when
Matthew married Irene Murray, a
nurse. Mary found her daughter-
in-law charming. Irene continued
at the hospital until Matthew began
practice and then became his office
nurse. In the fall, Judith Lambert
dined at Mary’s with Irene and
Matthew. At dinner Mary warned
Irene she’d spend the rest of her
life picking up after Matthew. He
teased Judith about being an “ ,J
maid”, but after ■!„. _L,
predicts "someone will snatch her j draped over a chair, one shoe on the
up soon.” Lynn calls with come
books for Mary, two of which
Matthew promptly borrows Be-
fore leaving, Matthew orders his
mother to bed after Lynn had
pointed out how tired she looked.
Irene, too, is worried about Mary’s
health and tells Matthew he should
persuade her to give up the shop.
CHAPTER TWELVE
“Irene,” said Matthew, and his
gray eyes laughed at her, “will you
stop worrying? Can you imagine
: me in a little place? I had enough
| of cramped quarters as an intern.
! Sometimes I felt like throwing bed
and bureau out the window in or-
der to breathe. If you don’t stop 1
think I’ll throw you out the window
—right now.”
He pushed his glass aside, rose,
picked Irene up in his arms, carried
her to their room and dumped her
unceremoniously on her bed. She
lay there, laughing at him. She
couldn’t help it. He sat down and
demanded, “Will you be good?”
Matthew leaned over her, and
kissed her long and hard upon the
mouth. Irene lay still, her heart
pounding. She loved him so much.
She was always passive under his
I tender, savage love-making.
She said, “How about that
tery story?”
“Not yet.”
Later, Irene sat up in her bed,
the pillows behind her, the light
shining on the book, and read
aloud. Matthew lay pillowless, his
head on his crossed arms and lis-
tened, relaxed, .yawning. Now and
between and touched her
