Jerry's first born.
Hes only month DID," she said,
gently. But he's the reason why /
couldn't ask Jerry to so away and
leave u.s."
1t was little past 10 when Jerry
drove down the road with h load of
wood. When he came to The little
shack he let out his usual call, the
love greeting to his mate, but there
was no answer, and when he entered
the Kitchen he stood amazed. With
one of Elvy's big aprons OF her, his
mother sat before the fire bathing
jerry, Jr., her face radient with con-
tentment. She laughed as she put
UP her face for kiss.
"oh, jerry" she said, isn't he
wonderful"
Jerry knelt beside them both, his
eyes full OF fun. Was this his con.
servative. worldly little mother from
New York? And he had not dared
write her the truth, not even when
the baby came.

his head on her shoulder, II didn't
know you liked babies. / Thought
you'd rebel If you knew even that
you were a grandmother. How did
you even find us?"
Il think 1 was sent, and Elvy won

to. Il came here deliberately, Jerry.
TO try and coax you back north with
me, and then the dear child laid this
laddie in my arms, and what could I
do but love her?"

You know from the first of your
marriage you and Dick have spoken a
different language. You have never
been interested in the same things.
You loved Dick. If the sudden attrac.
ton that comes to us and sweeps us
OF our feet, may be called such. You
may love him now-at least, when he
caresses you, your mind is lulled to
sleep, but Margie. you are not as good
pals as you are with Jim Edie. and his
conversation compared to that of Nal
colin Stuart really seems banal.
Probably Dick thinks, if he thinks
about 1t at all, that you are a high
brow and fussy, but / can see plainly
you still exert the same physical mag
netism over him that you did at first,
You see, Margie, you probably could
make a pretty good stagger at loving

yet think they are the best brand for

all this wonderful insight"

think"
And. Mollie, dear, 1 am not sure
that it is real blessing to woman"

me rather wonderful from a woman

the fire where it's warm?"
Elvy's soft. rich. southern voice
was beautiful. Unconsclously Mrs.
Fallows breathed a sigh OF relief. Jar.
ly surely had good excuse for fall
ing so ridiculously in love, at any
rate. She went into the low, cheer
lul kitchen, and took the rocker by
the big open fireplace, while Elvy set
the pals of water on the bench by
the window.
"JeTy'n be awfully glad to see
you when he comes home" Elvy
kneit to nut on some fresh. dry wood
under the big back log. Hes just
gone up to the wood lot after a-load."
Il am glad he is not here" Mrs.
Fallows sat upright. 1t was not a
pleasant task that had brought her
TO ."e mountains. 81 think you are
the one to decide for him"
~" queried Elvy, sitting down on
the round braided rug in surprise.
"Why?"
You know, of course, Jerry would
never have remained here in this will
derness II he had not met you. He
was sent down by his uncle's lumber
interests to look the ground over and
report on conditions. Later, he was
put in charge of the cutting out of
timber at his own request. The next
we heard was that he was married. /"
Her voice trembled here with emo
ton. He did not see fit to ask my
consent nor his fathers. We simply
received word that he was married. T"
And you never even sent one lit
tie word back to him." said Elvy,
softly. dreamily almost, gain into
the cracking fire, II don't see how
you could have done that to him"
Don't you?" the older woman's
face hardened. after you had rails
ed son, your only one, built all your
hopes and ambitions on his future,
and then at twenty-five, he married

Just mountain girl like me?"
Yes. Could you understand and
forgive him?"
Il guess when you really love, you
can forgive most anything"
Possibly" with bitter little
laugh. II could not. You have been

consent to It,"
Elvy rose slowly. Her face was n
bit white. She passed one hand over
her forehead with an odd quick ges-
ture. Then without word, she went
into the next room. Mrs. Fallows
waited. 1t had been hard, but not as
though Jerry himself had been there
to argue with. The girl was proud,
She would surely let him so. And
then behind her she heard Elyy's
football, and turned her head. Proud
and silent she stood there, a word OF

HEALTH HINTS

Unwashed dishes are not an appe-
t1zing sight. But many people think
nothing Of eating a meal with teeth
to which decaying particles of an
earlier meal are still clinging.
These people will righttuily take
great pains to see that their food is
prepared in a sanitary way, yet every
mouthful of food which they bite into
is contaminated with germs from their
own unclean and decaying teeth.
Literally the teeth should be cleaned
every time that they are used. But
this is rather impractical for most PEG.
pie SO the rule of cleaning them every
morning and night and after each
meal is best.
Mothers can play large part in the
growing OF good teeth in children by
giving attention to the child's diet.
Teeth need. exercise just as much as
the muscles do. A certain amount Of
food which requires lot of chewing
will tend to make the teeth healthy
and strong.
Children who are fed almost exclu.
sively on soft foods" generally have
the poorest teeth.
Many mothers neglect the child's
first set OF teeth, contenting them
selves with the fact that sooner or Ia
ter they will have new set. But the
first set Of teeth needs the care of a
dentist just as much as the second.
An ache in first tooth hurts Just
as much as one In a second. 1t is Just
as hard to properly chew ones food
with a first set of sore, decaying teeth
as 1t Is with seconds in tho same condl.
ton.
Disease germs do not care whether
they find lurking place in the first
or second set Of teeth. If the first set
of teeth offers safe hiding place
