Betsy Bonaparte went slowly down the Erin's sang- jilank at the bustling wharf of Dover. She was used to a far balmier sprins than this English one, and as she shivered she told herself that she wanted only to withdraw to a quiet spot, and regain her strength. British officials, to whom the captain and her brother sent an appeal, had responded promptly; Madame Bonaparte could enter long as she wished. At those words --the first of their kind that she had heard in- a long time--Betsy had come close to tears. Today, as her eyes lifted, she to a quiet spot, an regain her grew aware that the dock was crowded, and before she reached the end of the gangplank she heard several murmurs: "That's comes!" There was no hos- her, all right "Here she tility, but an eager curiosity and a suggestion of admiration.

discovered that a public figure. With that she she had become as a result of English newspaper stories of her marriage and her trip across the ocean, Her brother settled the party in a carriage, and a little later Betsy stood gratefully before an open fire in the room she would share with Mrs. Anderson. They savored the steaming meal already laid- out in a table in a corner of the room, and afterward lost'ho time in seeking the high, soft bed and sinking into it. Betsy heard a few snatches of Mrs.

Anderson's words. "So much has happened today what do you think is going to Betsy's went to Jerome: How was he. and just where? After a moment or two she was asleep. While her brother went back and forth to London, she sat with Mrs. Anderson in the shaded garden, drank milk and soup, and ate the bland dishes prepared by their beaming housekeeper.

Then one day William appeared, with an elegant man of serious mien and his pleasant, bright- eyed wife. "Mr. and Mrs. James Monroe." her brother announced, and Betsy, greatly impressed, bowed to the American diplomat and his wife. "We're ready to help in whatever way we can." James Monroe informed her.

As his manner became less official, more casual, he added in an amused tone, "Let me see, you're about twenty-one, or not quite that.

OH, NO, met than any twenty-one-year-old I'v never heard of?" Delighted by the good intentions of the callers, Betsy smiled. Mrs.

Monroe chatted with her about Paris, the Bonapartes, their London house, and her hope to present Betsy to her friends there. Grateful, the girl wa nevertheless cautious. "Even if I weren't--in my my- condition, it might not be wise for me to go about a great deal in England," she explained, "with the war still on against France." Accepting the situation, Mrs. Monroe promised to talk with her at a future date. As the visit approached an end.

Mr. Monroe assured Betsy, "You can be certain I'll be making 1 any inquiries I can about your situation. Your arrival in Holland caused a flurry among French officials, and Napoleon has sent messages about you to a lot of his agents. Don't lose heart; all over Europe affairs are changing so fast that nearly anything can happen." Encouraged to a degree, Betsy bade the Monroes a warm good- by. Not long afterward, through the diplojnat, she received a much- folded leter from Amsterdam and recongnized the hand-writing of her brother Robert.

In it Robert explained that he had reached Holland with the expectation of joining her and had been met only with official silence and galling frustration. He hoped to greet her soon in England, but meanwhile he was forwarding an enclosure. Seeing the other letter with the words "To Madame d'Albert," her heartbeat quickened. Jerome had penned it in Madrid, as he rode toward Napoleon's headquarters in Italy-. She was overwhelmed by a wave of happiness, the greatest she had known in a long time.

Then she reflected: In the letter he said he expected to be with her between June 1 and 15. The fifteenth had already passed, but by now she was used to delays. Ten days later her hands trem- i bled over a second note, a brief one from Italy, dated May 3, saying that he was about to meet the Emperor. Other weeks followed with no messages, direct or indirect. The baby arrived, a boy, his head covered with thick, wiry black hair.

His resemblance to the Bona- partes should surely help him gain recognition, Betsy thought. Her mind worked far ahead. Some day Jerome Napoleon would take his place as a prince, perhaps something more--a king of one of the governments that Napoleon was creating all over Europe. Her son. His Imperial Highness had someone else used the words in similar circumstances, Betsy Bonaparte might have laughed to herself.

Today she murmured, them proudly. If onlw Jerome were with her, to enjoy their child, to see the Bonaparte in him, and plan for his future. Although she might not have admitted it, another consideration suggested itself: Once he held the tiny Jerome Napoleon, her husband's strength, his will to stand up against the Emperor could only be strengthened. Days later, Betsy became aware of a figure in the doorway--Dr. Gamier, hat in hand, coat over his arm.

Stiffly he advanced. "Madame, have done the service I THIi'LL DO IT IVMY TIMl CHIMERA WORKS LIKE A MORSE KEEPING HOUSE, COOOLW6 HUBBttA PAISING FOUR WILD YOUNG WUAT 6ETS HER GRINDING MER TEETM ISi WHENI MERIN4.AWS VlSJT QUOTE: was asked to perform. If you excuse me, I go back to France." While Betsy had expected Garnier to leave, she had hardly look ed for so precipitate a good-by. "Have you any messages?" he ask ed in a formal voice. Betsy struggled with an impulse to answer: None that she would entrust to a man like him.

Instead she replied, "Yes, tell my husband that his son and I are well, and that we expect to see him soon. Very soon." The inexpressive eyes flickered; Dr. Gamier seemed about to make an observation of his own, but he confined himself to a curt bow. She was still thinking of the in cident when a carriage rolled up and she recognized the trim figure of her brother Robert. She met him at the door, kissed him happily, and drew back.

"It's been so long--more than a ysar Smiling, he shook his head in wonder as he surveyed her. "Betsy, you're as calm as if nothing had ever happened to you." "What did you expect--a broken relic?" she laughed. Nevertheless, waiting for him to hell her what he knew, she felt anything but calm. Mrs. Anderson brought in the baby, and, while Betsy held him up proudly, Robert exclaimed in appreciation.

Afterward when Betsy and her brother sat alone, Robert seemed grave and also hesitant. "There are things I don't understand, that mayn't be settled for months." When her face fell, he paused. "You're sure you're ready to hear to hear this?" "I am, and don't leave anything out." Settling back, Betsy folded her arms in unconscious tension. "I have word about Jerome and from him. indirectly.

He's having a lot of trouble with Napoeon, far more, I suppose, that he really looked for. And I can't find out if Jerome's even seen Napoleon yet. Several people claim that he's holding Jerome at a distance--in the same town but away from him. You know, there's a serious charge against Jerome. In a showdown, Napoleon could order him arrested Hints From By Heloise Cruse HENRY by Carl Anderson SCOTT'S SCRAP BOOK LIQUID, By R.

This started as an easy way to do them on a vacation, and now has become my only mode of doing them. I have a flat sponge la thick one is not as easy to work with) and I squirt a little of my favorite liquid soap on it. I use this to wash off all soil and then hold my dishes under hot, clean, running water. My mother says I use a lot of hot water this way but I do not think it is any more than the old greasy dishpan method because I am not rinsing the dishes first, and 1 always used to do that and let my water run while I rinsed them, anyway. I know I use lots less soap and half the time.

This method is also good for doing up odds and ends of in-between-meal dishes. Phyllis Dunbar Dear Phyllis: Sometimes water is cheaper than energy and expensive soap. I agree whole-heartedly. Heloise From Heloise's Closet: Dear Folks: Do you have a pair of shoes with a worn inner sole? And hate to spend money to have i replaced? Here's my answer: Remove the old worn inner sole from your shoe and place it on top of some adhesive-backed plastic and cut a new one! Any scrap of it you happen to have around the house will do. Remove thin film from back and stick the new inner-sole in shoe.

If you buy some, I suggest you purchase black. It sure looks neat in my shoes! Heloise Dear Heloise: I save much precious time on scrubbing-and-waxing day by using an electric fan to dry my floors. Set a table model electric fan on the floor in the doorway of the floor which you wish to wash and wax (aim it at the floor iuelf. I have the floor and waxed in one-quarter the time it took me to do it the old way of letting it dry by itself. The fan dries the floor so fast and saves so much of your time that you will be amazed.

Dear Heloise: I cook a.lot of stews, soups, and sauces, and I have found it best to use an abestos pad over my gas burner for simmering. My gas stove does not happen to have a simmer cycle so I place a plain round asbestos pad about 8" in diameter on the grate over the burner and simmer for hours. These pads are inexpensive and may be purchased at the dime store. The pads are plain and have a crimped metal edge. Since they have a ring on the edge, they may be hung on a hook out of sight or kept in the storage compartment of your stove.

LDS This could prevent lots of scorching, too, eh? Heloise Letter of Laughter Dear Helose: For youf children, who are nail- biters rub the nails along a cake of bar soap and then rinse them. Just enough soap will remain under the child's nails to make the whole "process" unpleasant and serves as a reminder if the little ones keep on trying to break themselves of the habit! Helen Bolesh Dear Heloise: I smiled to myself when I read about the woman holding a fresh tomato over heat to remove the skin. Well. I have an, easier method! All one has to do is take to tomato in one hand and the paring knife in the other. Take the blunt end of the knife and pretend to peel the entire tomato.

(You are actual! loosening the skin from the tomato itself. Then take the blade and, pierce the bottom of the tomato and peel it. The skin comes right off. There will be no juice running down your fingers, no using hot water or heat, and its a coM tomato that can be nerved at once. MM Tepfenheart Copyright, 1WJ, King Syndkate, Inc.
