 I tried every device I could think of to go to sleep, but could not lost my self in even a doze. Finally, in despair, I rose cautiously, not to awaken Dicky, and slipping on my hahrobe and fur-rimmed mules, made my way into the dining room.
 Turning on the light, I looked around for something to read until should get sleepy. I had resolved to put all thoughts Of my mother-in- laws proposition out of my head Dicky did not wish it. His mother might make things unpleasant, but did not believe she could force her plans against the opposition of both of us
 What is the matter, Mrs. Graham? Are you ill?"
 Miss sonnot's soft voice sounded Just behind me. As I turned I thought again, as I had many times before, how very attractive the little nurse was. She had on a dark blue negligee of rough cloth, made very simply, but which covered her night attire completely, while her feet. al- $, covered with fur-trimmed slippers of the same color as the negligee. Her abundant hair was braided in two plaits, and hung down to her waist.
 You look like a sleepy little girl,' 1 said, impulsively
 And you like particularly wake ful one," she returned, mischievously. ''I am glad you are not i'll. I feared you were when I heard you snap on the light.'

When her patient be- came convalescent, so that the nurse could sleep at night instead of watch ing, l had arranged a comfortable bed on the couch in the living room for her. It was just outside my r1other-in-law's door, and Miss Son. not could hear every sound her patient made in the night.
 No you did not waken me- Tn fact, l have been awake nearly an hour 1 was just about to come out and rob the larder of a cracker and sip of milk in the hope that I might get to sleep again when I heard you"
 Splendid" I calculated, while Miss Sonnot looked at me wondering ,y. Can your patient hear us out here?"
 If you could hear her snore you would be sure she could not" Miss Sonnot smiled. And I partly closed her door when I left She is safe for hours"

NEW DEFENSE BOARD
 PROPOSED BY HAY
Will Consist of Seven Specialists
 in Their Respective Lines

Washington, May 24-With the tative James Hay, chairman of the military affairs committee, introduced in the house today a military defense bill creating a "council of executive information to further the mobiliza- ton of the country's resources for possible war.
 The council is to be composed of members of cabinet, who shall have as an advisory committee seven per- sons who are recognized as experts in various lines of industry.
 Representative Hay said the bill was an administration measure "upon which the president desires prompt action" It probably will be re- ported without delay by the com mittee on military affairs, and, if ne- cessary, a special rule will be in- voked to expedite it's passage Intro duction of the bill was a surprise to the house.
 Members of the proposed council and their advisors are to be named without confirmation by the senate. The body is to be largely an ad- iunct of the executive office, although it is provided that reports to congress shall be made of investigations con- ducted. Indicating the plans for an immediate formation of the council is the provision that $2oO,o0o for ex- penses shall be immediately avail able.''
 The principal provisions of the Hay bill follow:
 That a council of executive in formation for the coordination Of industries and resources for the na- tional security and welfare is hereby established to consist of the secretary of war, the secretary of the navy, the secretary of the interior, the secre- tary of agriculture, the secretary of commerce, and the secretary of labor.
 "The council shall nominate to the president and the president shall ap point an advisory commission, con- sisting of not more than seven per- sons, each of whom shall have special knowledge of some industry, public utility or the development of some natural resource, or be otherwise specially qualified, in the opinion of the duties hereinafter provided
 "The members of the advisory com- mission shall serve without compen- sation but shall be allowed actual tra7eling expenses and subsistence in attending the meetings of the com

as we tiptoed our way into the kitchen, turned on the light, and searched refrigerator, pantry, bread and cake boxes for food.
 How will we ever manage to grind this coffee without being heard?' asked, sitting down despairingly.
 That's easy" said the litle nurse. "Give me the grinder and two of those kitchen towels"
 She sat down in one of the chairs, and tucked the grinder, wrapped in the towels, between her knees.
 Stand in front of me- she com manded. "Close up. That's right"
 Thus shielded, she ground the coffee, and true to her promise the sound of the grinding was so untitled that no one outside the room could possibly have heard it.
 '"The hot water will be ready in another minute," I announced. The first thing I had done after turning on the kitchen light was to put some water on the gas stove. "Would you mind seeing if the percolator IS all right?"
 "Conditions perfect, general with 9 fetching little military salute.
 "Good' I turned off the gas, and putting the proper proporuon or coffee and hot water into the perco- lator carried it into the dining room and attached it to an electric light socket.
 Now for our plunder," I said, as we rapidly inventoried the eatables we had found Bread, butter, a can of sardines, eggs, sliced bacon and a dish of stewed tomatoes.
 I wish we had some oysters or some cheese; then we could stir up something in the chafing dish,'' said, m ournfully
 Do you know, I believe I have a chaing dish recipe we can use in scrap book I always carry with me-" responded Miss Sonnot. "It is in my suit case at the foot of my couch. I'll be back in a minute.''
 She noiselessly slipped into the living room, and returned almost in stant1y with 8 substantially bound book in her hands. She sat down be- side me at the table and opened the book.
 T couldn't live without this book" she said, extravagantly. 'In it I have all sorts of treasured clippings and lettings. The things I need most I have pasted in The chafng dish receipes are in an envelope. I just happened to have them along"
 She was turning the pages as she spoke. On one page, which she passed by more hurriedIy than the others, were a number of kodak pictures. I caught a flash of one which made my heart beat more quickly. Surely I had a print from the same negative in my trunk.
 The tiny picture was a photograph of Jack Bickett or I was very much mistaken.

 Are you a coffee fend, too?" she exclaimed in delight. "I would rather have a good cup of coffee than anything I know"
 But you have always said you preferred a cup of tea for your mid night lunch when you were watching Mother Graham. That was why I
 "Tea keeps me awake she ex- plained, while coffee puts me to sleep. Isn't it it queer?'

How Did Miss Sonnot Come to Have
 Jack Bickett's Picture?

Jack B1ckettS Picture!
 My mother-in laws proposal that I should go back to teaching while she took charge , of our domestic affairs, troubled me more than would admit even to myself. Long after Dicky was asleep I lay vide eyed and wakeful, turning her proposition over in my mind, looking at it from every angle.
 The first flash of resentment against the idea was spent. l could see that from more than one stand point the proposition was a logical one. My mother-in-law was com pelled to be an inmate Of our home. I had a profession at my finger tips. She was an experienced housekeeper; an inexperienced one. The arrange ment would give her happiness and restore to me the economic freedom l had had before my marriage.
 My own mental attitude in the mat ter was extremely complex. One part of me, the part which had so rejOlced ct the opportunity to earn the money paid by the Lotus Study club, advised the acceptance of the elder Mrs. Graham's plan. From a feminist point of view the proposed arrange ment was the only possible solution of our domestic problem.
 But another part of me, the primi- tive cave woman, resented any at tempt to take away the tending of "her
