I've started doing one of two things.  If the chapters are just numbered i do 
the following:

Chapter 2
blah blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda 
blah blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda 
[body text]

or for chapters with chapter titles:

Chapter 3
The Chapter Title

blah blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda 
blah blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda 
[body text]


So basically what that amounts to is if there is no chapter title i do not skip 
a line between the chapter number and the body text.  If the chapters are 
titled i do not skip a line between chapter number and chapter title but do 
skip a line between chapter title and body text.

I've done this with the last several Trixie Belden novels I've submitted as 
well as some others.  It seems to work.
