In a village tale the old Squire leaves a divided clan to the Manor Farm. Diana Durhams defiant pact with Norman ignites a feud with Richard Durham as quarrymen vow to resist the intruder. Tense loyalties, romance, and looming conflict unfold amid a rugged rural setting.
Diana Hurst rides out to confront Richard Durham the new squire at Idylhurst Hall while the old staff rebels and a covert past with Lilian Rossiter looms. Durham contemplates marriage to Diana as he contends with Norman, Godfrey, and a looming quarry shaft near the sea.

A fashion feature describes a world captivating blouse style with a joined yoke and sleeve pattern creating a long shoulder line.

In early spring a home provider turns to rhubarb recalling childhood days as a writer in Every Lady's Journal notes. A pie can use rhubarb if well made, and the sugar hand should be generous. It is economical, cheap, and cheaper for those who started it six months ago in the garden.
Three heaping cupfuls chopped rhubarb and one cupful raisins are mixed with three plain crackers powdered. Add treacle sugar butter spice and salt to taste to make three pies. Bake in two crusts and serve with a sweet sauce. A favorite with rhubarb lovers.
