Carved sandal wood makes a fan

seem. her loyalty to him was strength

which thrust her back upon herself.
The frivolous veneer in her nature
was being worn away. and the real
Gloria was beginning to appear.

eternal youth, and love.
What Gloria could not understand
was why wright was avoiding ner. In
her ears she could hear him whisper

they had pleasant chat He told her
that he was busy finishing some mag

When Gloria found that the Presby-
terian Mission was in need cs money
in order to extend its work, she sug-
gested to Mrs. Hayes that they go
among their friends, explain the stu
alton and ask money for their charity.
One of the first upon whom they
called was Judge Gilbert. Williams
explained that the judge was busy
for few minutes and asked them to
be seated. He did not know If the
men cared to be bothered with mere
women on such day.
When Williams announced that Miss
Kerr and Mrs. Hayes wished to see
him, Judge Gilbert asked Kerr If he
knew the meaning of the visit.
"They got some sort o. mission
work they're begin for. It's just a
polite shake down."

that seriously. just thought she went

put to scientific tests by DIR. r. Lenn-
hoff, German investigator. Drinks
and solid foods were made Opaque by
the addition of a metallic salt, and
the effect of swallowing these articles
was then watched by means of X
rays.
1t was shown that the simple act of
tract swallowing caused the stomach
to contract by refiexion, thus hasten
ing satiation. When solid food was
swallowed the contraction of the
amount being needed to satisfy the
appetite. The swallowing of liquids
gave less contraction, larger guam
tity of such food being necessary,
and when the liquid was passed into
the stomach through a tube, without
swallowing, twice as much was neces-
sary as before.
1t was concluded that artificial pres
sure on the stomach must have the
same effect as swallowing. Further
experiment confirmed this, and in all
cases persons eating as they pleased
took less when wearing tight belt
around the waist than when without
the belt. When, however. liquid food
was introduced through the tube the
belt had no effect whatever on salts
flying the appetite, SO that swallow
ing evidently plays some part even
when aided by artificial pressure.

COLONIAL oATEPosTs

Perhaps no other feature addstmore
to the seclusion and dignity OF q
house than well-designed entrance
gateposts. The meeting point Of house
and grounds always presents a DIM
cult problem, even in the best SUD-
urban architecture. Shrubbery often
mitigates this unavoidable IN
tersection, but the old-fashsoned
white picket fence. full of interesting
detail and backed up by hedges,
solved the problem most satisfac-
torily. Yet this best solution must
be used with discretion.
On suburban streets, broken up into
MANY small lots, there should be an
agreement on the part of several
neighbors to put up the same sort OF
fence; otherwise the different heights
and shapes of the pickets would be
too disturbing to add any beauty to
the houses. In other words, good
picket fence demands a. certain
amount of continuity to do it justice.
In the gateposts, however. great
variety could be displayed, and where
there is group of little colonial
houses. or even only colonial door
ways, the famous old gateposts of
Salem offer a wealth of suggestion.
