THE EFFECTS OF PAINT The smell of new paint has rather bad effects on some people but a great dealcan be done to minimise these effects if you place a pail of cold water in the room, and then either put a. little hay in the water or two onions sliced as both these will absorb the smell.

‘That night after the broadcast was finished he asked her to wait awhile. ' _

"I would like you to sign an agreement to play as leader in my orchestrafonletussaythe next three years, Miss Huntley," he said as soon as they were alone.

She had expected some sort of offer and was prepared.

“I cannot do tliat," she answered, “although it is tiice of you to ask me.’ _

"You can name you own terms."

But Sheila had made up her mind. Her visit to Garner Oweii‘s had made all the difference, and her bargain with Mario Casini might lead to ‘ uiidreamt-of triumplis. she must not bind iter- sclf down. ,

"I am sorry," she told Max Maurice. “btit I can‘t. Still, I'll play for you as long as possible ant‘ give you ample iiotlce when I want to leave. I'll stay on until Siniinons is well enough to come back, if I can.”

He held the car door open for her and helped her in, seitiiig the rug about her and placing a hassock for her feet to rest upon, and she was as impatient as over over his attentiuis. If only Howard would not fuss and Show so much thought for her.

He offered his cigarette case, lit her ci:arette for her, and then they were away. streaming through the traffic at a governed speed.

Though he talked to her he never took his eyes off the traffic or the road. He seldom cut in, and then only when it was safe and right to do so. '3-Ie chose the less frequented roads. thereby avoiding the main traffic streams.

She studied him critically ob- serving everything. She looked for some fault to find with him, the car or his driving, but could not. she had always found it difficult to find fault with Howard. And yet he was the least conceited of all the men she knew,

He asked her to choose the picnic place, but she would not. Again he chose wisely, running the car into 3 private road on a heath and turning it in amongst the heather and the bushes, helping her to a warm dry place and setting out the luncheon basket, the rugs and the cushions at a spot that overlooked

A cocktail to start with and some choice dry white wine. of which she partook sparingly. Black coffee in ‘a Thermos and her favourite Perfectos cigarettes. Again she could find no fault. “Of course I am." she answered. as she stretched herself out lazily in the sunshine. "How clevely you select all the things I like."

He bent over and looked down on her, leaning on his arm.
