Pauline hummed a tune under her
breath as she tied the ribbons of her
little white shoes and reached for her
tennis racket With swing of snowy
linen skirts she tripped down the stairs
and out into the golden California sun
shine.
Playing tennis by oneself Is never
an entertaining pastime. but 1t Is
good exercise, and when one lives with
beautiful but melancholy maiden
aunt on a retired country estate even
daily gymnastics can border on the
widest excitement.
Pauline's method consisted in serv'
ing one or more balls across the net
and then dashlng around into the op-
posite court and returning the serv-

Pauline fitted back and forth with
pink cheeks and shining eyes. Her loos-
ened hair fell in two long braids below
her slender waist, and under her
breath she hummed the happy little
tune broken by painting breath.
Once her strong young arm sent the
ball sailing high over the tall hedge of
Cherokee roses into the grounds of the
adjoining estate, and 1t was returned
to her with such surprising swiftness
that involuntarily she sent 1t back
again with "a cry of triumph.
Again 1t returned. and once more

Pauline's hands flew to her long
braids and wound them in their accus'

really twenty-five.

HOW TO CURE A SOFT CORN.

Usually Effective.

usually eUeotiNe.
A painful thickening of the skin
sometimes occurs on one Of the sew
eral surfaces of the interdigital regionA
of the toes. This Is ordinarily known
as the soft corn.
The development of the lesion ex.
plains the resistance which 1t offers to
topical indictments. In fact, the cpl
dermis, being In an irritated condition
all round the small tumor, gradually
encircles 1t with enlarged horny layers
until 1t is completely covered. The
first thing to be done. therefore, is to
remove this circular epitbelial barrier.
For this purpose the parts must be
carefully washed with soap and wa.
ter and then with alcohol. This suf
fees to render visible a little hollow
covering on the top Of the conical
thickening, forming kind of hood
over the tumor. 1t may be gently re-
moved by means Of the point Of fine
scissors without drawing blood. In
this way the small corn, the source Of
all the trouble, is laid bare.

means of a small wooden rod and to
leave 1t to penetrate the corn. The
natural moisture of the parts favors
the infiltration of the acid.
After few minutes the tumor Is
carefully washed with diluted water,
which quickly soothes the smarting
resulting from the chemical cauteriza'

ton wool Is then placed over 1t. This
should be removed the same evening.
On the following days the part should
be washed with soap and water and q
small roll Of cotton applied. Toward
the third or fourth day the brownish
crust caused by the cauterization Is cut
out with fine scissors, and then small
wound Is laid bare. This Is soon heal.

easily determined by touching the
parts to find whether there is still any
painful hardening, new cauterization
by nitric acid IS practlced, followed by
a similar series Of dressings.
1t Is rare that soft corn OF average
dimensions-that is, Of the size OF a
millet seed or lentil--resists a third
cauterlzation.-New York Herald.

One gloriously beautiful morning
Ruth Greye arose from a sleepless
couch and walked slowly among the
dew drenched roses in her garden.
She stopped now and then to inhaIe
the fragrance of Cloth of Gold rose
or to break tiny cluster of half OPEN

place where the hedge had overgrown
the rustic gate. She stopped abruptly
and looked with startled eyes.
The hedge had been carefully trim

ed from its fastenings. swung idly
with the light breeze. Ruth moved
close to the hedge and buried her face
In the sweet smelling roses.
There was q firm step on the path.
and she looked up quickly TO meet the
glance of Walter Graham on the other
side of the rustic gaze. Her breath
came quickly, and she summoned all
her pride and fortitude to steel her
heart against her former lover.
His hand was on the swinging gate

he said in low tone. did you open

She did not answer She was look
