And back of them two girls were whis-
pering with a man with sharp, furtve eyes,
who was promising them swell time
that evening.
And say. what's your names and phone
numbers?" he added
1t was an afternoon Of a working day,
but all around me were young men and
women, lolling. sliding low down in the
seats, squeezing one anOther's hands. In
that darkness, with the lazy, sensual music
my friend felt as though she had happened
ON TO one of the devils pet corners in hell.
And it was only a little motion-picture
house, with quite pretty and decent scenes
on the screen.
Oh. girls! do you, can you think what
you are doing? Would you want to see
your mother in the darkness beside a
strange man, permitting him liberties
would you? AND YET YOU WILL BE
MOTHERS SOME DAY! Do you want
your children to shudder as they think of
you?
You may think that It is mo harm"
But in year Of such actions as those l
have mentioned you will have so loosened
your moral fiber that you will no longer
hear the voice of your own soul
As my friend was leaving, after the
lights had been turned up. she looked
around upon those young faces, many of
them flushed, with the greatest sorrow and
grief. one girl, young that she still
wore her long hair in a braid down her
back, appealed to her particularly. She
was with a man much. much older than
she man who kept proprietary arm
about her waist as they moved up the
aisle.
The man left her TO buy candy at the
stand nearby, and my friend spoke to her.
Child" she said, does your mother
know that man? Would she want YOU TO
know him? Would she allow him. or any
other man. to touch you--to hug you-as
that stranger has been dong?"
She tried to brave it out, but in a mo-
ment the sense Of what she had been
doing struck her, and she turned toward
the door, almost running.

OF one OF the patients. She had bag in
her hand Eighty pairs Of eyes looked
after her longlngly. She had ice cream in
that bag for her sick friend, who might
eat It right away. The rest who had no
friends must wait until 3. Every second
somebody coughed. The thermometer that
hung In the doorway Crept up TO eighty,
eighty-two. then stopped outside frelghts

were laden
At last a nurse appeared at the door But
she had no tray filled with delectable little
dishes. She looked at the amazed eyes

1t seemed to her that a band Of fire held

"Oh, well, Saturday" she whispered But
there was a new patient in bed ten when

THE GOOD HEALTH
QUESTION BOX
By DIR. JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG

THE mother should understand the i'm
Il portance of keeping n careful record
OF the weight OF her child, and chart for
this purpose should be part Of the equip
ment when preparing for the coming baby.
The child should be weighed at least every
week for the first six months. After the
first six months, it is sufficient TO weigh
the baby once every two weeks
In case OF Illness, this chart is the ply
sician's best guide and will tell him more
than the mother can possibly explain TO him.
Errors In the feeding of the Child will
quickly cause loss in weight, and as the
illnesses OF the child are usually caused
by incorrect feeding. the weight chart tells
whether or not the food is agreeing with
him. Any marked deviation in weight
should receive attention at once. II the
child Is nursing, the mother should care
fully study and regulate her own diet, and
try to correct the trouble in that way. II
II Is a bottle fed baby, the physician should
be consulted and such change made in the
feeding as he may direct.
The best time to weigh the baby is i'm
wrapped in a dry blanket which has been
previously weighed. 10 the same blanket
is always used the weight of the blanket
can be subtracted and the accurate weight
Of the child easily noted. 1t should be re-
corded at once, as the mothers memory is
fallible, and an accurate record is important.

Gloves are usually carried In the hand
even II they are not worn, but II is more
correct to wear them. silk, Isle or other
washable gloves are now considered as

Strictly speaking. white shoes are not
appropriate for the city streets unless one

tertainment. Black shoes or tan ones are
suitable for morning wear when shopping.

If you want to look your very, very
best (which, of course, means your
prettiest) when you are dressed
for an outing or a game on the
links or court, then you must wear
a "floppy" chapeau. You can have
your "hoppy" hat in either straw
or felt, as your fancy dictates.
You can have it trimmed with
crown band of silk, velvet or satin,
or you can have a small feather
fancy, a quill, one large convention,
allied flower or a touch of wool
embroidery. You can wear any
becoming color with the assurance
that all colors are considered suit
able in the scheme of the sports
chapeau. And, if you desire, you
can have the crown band or trim
ming of black, white or contrasting
shade. Two very effective sports
hats of the "hoppy" type are
shown in today's illustration. The
upper model is of pink velour with
pink panne velvet fange and band
