CHAPTER II.

Well, we got the poor old doctor
moved back to his room, and had one
of the chambermaids find him there,
and wired to Mrs. Van Alstyne, who
was Mr.. Dicky Carter's sister. and
who was on her honeymoon in South
Carolina. The Van Alstynes came
back at once, in very bad tempers,
and we had the funeral from the
preachers house in Finleyville so as
not to harrow up the sanatorium
people any more than necessary.
After it was all over the relatives
gathered in the sun parlor Of the san
atorium to hear the will-Mr Van AL
styne and his wife and about twenty
more who had come up from the city
for the funeral and stayed over-on
the house.
Well, the old doctor left me the but
tons for his full dress waistcoat and
his favorite copy of "Gray's Anatomy"
couldn't exactly set up housekeeping
with my share of the estate.
They thought that was funny, but
! a few minutes later they weren't SO
cheerful You see the sanatorium was
a mighty fine piece of property with
deer park and golf links. We'd
had plenty of offers to sell it for a
summer hotel, but we'd both been
dead against it. That was one Of the
reasons for the will.
The whole estate was left to Dicky
Carter, who hadn't been able to come
owing to his being laid up with an
attack of mumps. The family sat up
and nodded at one another, or held
up its hands, but when they heard
there was condition they breathed
easier.
! Beginning with one week after the
reading of the willard not day
later-Mr. Dick was to take charge OF
tive months without day off. If al
the end Of that time the place was
being successfully conducted and
could show that 1t hadn't lost money
the entire property became his fol
keeps. If he failed it was to be sold
and the money given to charity.
Well, the family went back to town
in a buzz of indignation, and car
ried my waistcoat buttons and my

had a good cry. There was a mar
named Thoburn who was crazy fol
the property as summer hotel, anG
every time shut my eyes could see
"Thoburn House" over the verands
and children sailing paper boats in the
mineral spring.
Sure enough, the next afternoon Mr.
| Thoburn drove out, from Finleyvillt
with suit case, and before he'd taker
off his overcoat he came out to the
spring-house.

MOST ARTISTIC JET WRAP
Recent Developments Show That Pos
sibiIities in This Line Have
Not Been Exhausted.

When Drecoll brought out his jet
coat last summer, made of white and
black crystals, the majority of persons
thought it was the last word in attrac-
tive beaded wraps, but there are sew
eral new ones introduced today that
are even prettier, because the design
is more artistic and is not confined to
contrasting bands of black and white.
In these new coats the spider web is
quite the most daring and charming
OF them all. It is made in black and
In white, both mounted over flesh
pink chiffon satin, and edged with
deep scallops of panne velvet.
There is another jet wrap which is
a loose coat that hangs from shoul-
ders nearly to hem of skirt, made Of
jet beads loosely sewn to coarse black
net. This is worn without lining,
over white, black or colored gowns, or
it can be lined and worn as an after
noon or evening wrap. 1t is main

BABIES INJURED BY ROCKING
English Mothers Are Being Told That
They Should Stop This Time
Honored Practice.

The hand that rocks the cradle and,
incidentally and metaphorically, rules
the world, Is no longer to enjoy un-
disturbed these notable functions.
The anti-rocking movement has begun
vigorously in London, the opening
declaration of hostilities having been
made in a leaflet addressed to moth
ers by the public health department of
the city of London. This document
most solemnly adjures mothers never
to rock the baby. 1t is here set forth
that rocking the baby to sleep, far
from being the wholesome and al
together admirable performance we
have been taught through centuries
to believe, is one that is rankly
diabolic in possibilities. Rocking the
baby to sleep, it is declared, is likely
to set up various digestive disorders,
it stupefie., the child and may breed
in him or her various bad habits. A
healthy child, it is averred, requires
no rocking to sleep, the rocking being

Worlds Largest Concrete Arches

With the general use of concrete in
construction work, engineers have
been steadily increasing the length of
the huge arch in which this material
is the principal supporting power, says
Engineering News.
For two years the 32S-foot Risorgi-
mento arch across the Tiber at Rome
has been the longest reinforced-con-
crete span in the world, taking the
title from the 320-foot Grafton arch at
Auckland, New Zealand, completed
about a year earlier. Now comes
Switzerland with the latest largest

White CHIFFON Blouse.

There are many new shirt waists in
the shops, but the favorite one is of
white chiffon cloth, the thin transpar.
ent fabric that is about twice as thick
as the ordinary chiffon.
The waist is made simply. 1t has q
broad yoke across the back, to which
the material is gathered, and loosd
sleeves that end in wide, turnover
cuffs at the wrists. The Fronts ara
also gathered and there are no arm
holes.
This new kind of kimono sleeves is
very much in fashion and especially
on everyday blouses.
A new net blouse has two thick
nesses of the material and is fastened
with ordinary pearl buttons as large as
a 25-cent piece. The turnover cuffs
are fastened with two of these buttons
used as links. They are joined by
strands of silk cord.
