DR.. Wiley, with some NATURAL,

market, but, unluckily for some Of them

w THO does not remember her, or
w hist is more frequently her
first dish of ice cream? AS
we grow older we are probably less
fond of the delicious rejection than in
our younger days. and yet, if l knew
the name of the inventor of ice cream,
| would try, in this hot weather>to sing
his praise. He, or 1t may have been
she, was a great benefactor. The dog
days must surely have been more terri
BILE when there was no ice cream to
make one forget, for a few delightful
moments that the sun is $1,000 degrees
hot, and capable of pouring on every
foot of sweltering humanity enough
heat to enable an engine to raise
hundred tons mile high!
But ice cream is not an unmixed
blessing, as Dr. Wiley reminds US In his
Good Housekeeping Magazine article
for July 1t is mixed in double sense,
first in that it carries some degree of
danger, If 1t is too rapidly eaten espe-
cially when one is greatly heated; and
secondly. because the universal spirit
of fraud and Justification has seized
upon this summer dish, this delight of
children and youn~ persons and made
1t means of putting more dishonest
money into rapacious pockets.
Fortunately, genuine ice cream, made
of pure materials, in a clearly way, is
nutritious as we'll as cooling in its eff
fects and offers no danger, provided
only, as already remarked, that it Is
taken slowly, and when one is not in an
overheated state. In France a small
dish of ice cream, taken at the end of a
meal is popularity believed to be an aid
to digestion Perhaps doctors would
not subscribe to that particular opin-
ion-I do not know-but, at any rate.

in the sympathy that comes from bear

all know, would be misplaced The
spirit of greed is never ashamed, If it
can do its deeds of darkness in a secret
corner.
The genuine virtue of ice cream re-

from the fat particles of pure fresh

songs on the theme of Loves
Awakening
A subject to attract keener attention
would be Loves First Wound" A
great many of those wounds are re-
ceived before death results, and no one
can tell when the death blow finally
falls. for Love has way of rising up
and winking one eye when it is appar-
emily ready for the tomb.
Daysey Maymes love for the drug
clerk had received it's first wound.
She had seen him with Another! Oh,
woe is me. and as many aliases as the
sympathy of the reader can spare
She began to talk a great deal of A
False Ones Perfidy, and There Is No
one in the World One Can Trust; Is
There, Now? Did You Ever Trust Any
one. and Fail to Find Your Trust Be
trayed, etc, etc.
Then. her love received it's second
wound, gasped, and died and she pre-
pared 1t for the tomb according to the
long established custom.
For two days she let her hair go un-
curled, and ate pickles and sighed, and
gazed with sad eyes at the moon when
ever that luminary of love gave her a
chance.
Then. she took action The first
thing to do was to return his gifts.
She searched the house from parlor
to kitchen, and all she found was a
book advertising cold cream 1t was a
blow, but even the gifts of stingy
man must be treated according to ira
dition.
There was also a note asking her to
go to free church concert and a
faded flower.
Daysey Mayme tied the book adver-
Using cold cream in white tissue paper,
using a pale blue ribbon, which she
spotted carefully with her tears that
being a rule that must never be vio-
lated.
The faded flower she pinned 10 the
note asking her to go to church So
cial and on the note she shed one,
two three big round tears, each leav-
ing a blot large enough for a blind
man to see,
She sent for a messenger boy and
gave him the package, looking after
him as long as he was in sight. with
her vision so blurred by tears that he
seemed to be swimming off. And when
her emotion grew beyond her control
and the tears began to flow it was as
if he were drowning.
When he had gone down in the
waters of her grief q. g., turned the
corner out of sight she returned to
her room and looked around with a
sad sigh, that being also according to
precedent
Then she picked out the very saddest
book she could find and soon forgot her
own sorrow in the greater sorrow OF
the heroine.
That night Daysey May1ne ate more
supper than she had eaten in three
days, and the next morning she was
heard humming a gay little tune as
she curled her hair.
Again love had died and been in
tered according to tradition and Gus
tom. Again her heart was ready for
a new occupant.

time we never spoke to each other,

duced Now. however, he has a
position in another section of the

that | care very much for this
young man, and | would like to
know if il would be proper for
me to start correspondence with
him. " B. S.
Show him the courtesy OF answering
his card An introduction is usually
necessary but it seems to me that a

a good substitute and you will do moth

TO-DAY s INSTALLMENT.

That journey across London in the
fetid interior of the prison van! A hun
dred times in that life which already
seemed so far off Huntington had seen
the BLACK Maria" pass on it's gloomy
journey through the streets, looking like
a great black coffee stall van that al a
moments notice could let down its wood
en- walls and disclose a dismal and mis-
cradle shop within, and had speculated
| idly enough on the human contents, their
crimes and their feelings. Once as he
had passed through a Westminster slum
he had seen the van, driven out smarty
from a police court yard made the OBJ
| ject of a sudden frenzied attack by a
couple of slatternly, aproned, and weep
ing women who had run after it, clingng
to the step, screaming and shrieking, re-
fuslng to be shaken off till one had
tripped and fallen, and had been left be-
hind bleeding and weeping in the mud of
the roadway. He thought of that scene
now as he stood locked into the narrow
| compartment and listened to the talk of
his unseen companions.
Tragedy, grim, incredibly ugly and sor
| did that was what he had always asso-
ciated with the prison van. Instead, here
was laughter, something approaching
mirth-a Rebelaisan wit and a wonderful
amount of the milk of human kindness

with the righteousness of his kind had
called them the most melancholy was
man who had only a six months sentence

knew there was another ''lifer" in the
! van as well as defaulting solicitor who
had got we'll deserved ten years. this
man, urbane, socially successful, accus

was the most cheerful of the lot The
social gift that had been his undoing was
sparkling brilliantly during his last ride
together before the long silence settled
down about him.
Remington, in his compartment, held
his peace and listened. He had no de-
sire to join in this laughter of fools
And as he listened, above the talk which
went on without let or hindrsnce from
/ the warders above the rattle Of the
heavy van-he heard curious, recur
ring sound The man who had got six
months was weeping like a hysterical
woman. He had left a dying wife behind
him in the land of the living men.
Gradually, to Jack Remington, that
sound of weeping grew, drowning all
other commissioned to gather to itself
echoes Of all the women who wept for all
the prisoners in the world.
He longed to put his handcuffed hands
to his ears to shut out the bitter sound
of it.
Then the van had stopped moved on
through courtyard There was clang
and that everlasting rattle Of the keys.
Jack Rimington, waiting knew now that
the Gates of Silence had swung to be-
