looming large among the wonders of
America This ought to cause no sur

with the omnipresent nickelin-the-

sticks of chewing gum in jars and
piles on candy store and drug store
counters. and the jaws almost unani-

large.
Baseball players chew gum to keep
off thirst, children and matinee girls
chew it because it tastes sweet. many
persons chew in the belief that they
are aiding their digestion. but most
people chew because they have got the
habit. Probably finai analysis would
reveal an intimate connection between
nerves and habitual gum chewing.
There have been attempts to estab-
lish gum in Europe The results are
as vet inconsiderable. However. the
demand right here in the United
States calls for the manufacture of
5000 .O0O,0 pieces of gum per year
and gives prosperity to a very healthy
eleven-year-old trust. If one doctor
says gum chewing is harmless, an
other declares that ii overworks the
salivary glands. But to the stranger
within our gates the wonder of the
busy jaws remains.

Millicent's Masquerade

Behind the frowning providence OF
a sudden summer rainstorm, Fate

To be exact the place was that OF

needed work so desperately. also be-
cause the morning had promised so
fairly. she had put on her modest
best-her white linen suit. null
trimmed hat and patent leather ties.
She had been pardonably proud OF
herself as she stepped from the train
at the nearest station. There was
nobody to meet her. and her purse
forbade even suburban cab fare.
Armed with confused directions and
the rash confidence of youth. she had
set out on foot for Overhill. the AL

half aloud. looking herself up and
