How Madge Said "Good-Bye'' to the
Young Army Officer.

l looked up at the young army off,
Ger who had just uttered whimsical,
OBTAINING please" in my ear with as
constituent that, I'm afraid, was more
feigned than real. I hadn't exactly
expected him to follow me when T
turned away after thanking him for
taking care Of Pete, but there had
been vague impression in my mind
that the incident wasn't quite closed
hope you'll forgive me if I am
presuming too much,' the pleasant
drawing voice went on, but it has
occurred to me that you must have
been going somewhere on that car,
! and / wondered If YOU wouldn't &C
cept a lift from me. I was going in
that direction, anyway, you know, so
1t won inconvenience me in the
least"
If he had made his offer in any
other way than the careless, matter
of-fact method he employed, If he
had lntimated that my acceptance or
declination of his invitation was of
the rem otest interest to him, I should
promptly have given him a decided
negative, thanked him again, and
iioNe gone OH my way,
But 1t was so perfectly natural a
thing for him to do, indeed, could
see from his standpoint, that he
couldn't have preserved his own high
standard Of courtesy otherwise, that
| disliked having him think me
either discourteous or overprudish,
one of which impressions I knew he
must receive from a negative on my
part.
Besides, and I'm afraid this was the
strongest motive underlying my de-
cision, I realized that this was an ex-
ceptional opportunity to escape the
espionage Of the mysterious horse
man who had so annoyed ME This
swift, high-powered motor car would
take mo to the vicinity Of the little
inn at which I wished to lunch even
more quickly than the trolley.
My inbred horror Of unconvention-
ality struggled for a moment with the
newer inclinations to do the practical>
necessary things lying next to me
inclinations which had been born and
nurtured under Lillian's tutelage
Then, with a sudden determine ton to
do the thing graciously or not at all,
[ smiled up into the young officers
face.
An Embarra ssment Avoided.
Thank YOU, ! shall be very glad
indeed to accept your offer" / said
simply. I'm going about five miles
up this road. Are you sure that will
not be farther than you were going?"
There was an inscrutabe look in
the blue eyes with the hint Of steel in
them which smiled down at me.
I'm very sure I'm going as far as
that" he replied whimsically, and T
felt myself unaccountably flushing
again as ] turned with him and
walked to the waiting motor car.
Whether Intentionally or not, he
relieved my embarra ssment by talk
ing to the dog.
Well. Pete, here's one car which
the conductor won't throw YOU out
Of he said geniany, STOPPING and
rubbing tho dogs head. How about
it, old chap? Shall we chase that
conductor and give YOU a chance for
a nip at his heels?"
Pete looked up into his face, cooked
his head to one side and gave one Of
his short, sharp yelps.
Il believe you understand what's
said to you.' the officer exclaimed,
delighted, and the next moment Pete,
with the impetus of the officers hand
on his collar, had scra mbled into the
tonneau.

SIDE TALKS

M RUTH CAMERON

She felt the grippe coming on. One
of her associates gave her some med
i~ine the doctor had given her. The
result was acetanilid poison, from
which she has not recovered. She is
an invalid now. hardly able to sit up,
and can take almost no nourishm ent.
Simple home remedies may not
hurt anyone, but | have known q
ginger tea, taken to ward off a cold,
tc throw a person into a hiCCough
that lasted an alarming time.
Too Much I'romiscuous Doctoring
There is altogether too much
rromiscuous doctoring. If i'll, go to
doctor; it is more economical in
the end
/ emphatically agree with my let
ter friend. Promiscuous doctoring is
dangerous. Nothing is more foolish
t1,an the habit of unfortunately
taking proprietary medicines, or of
handing about physicians prescrip-
tons. There are, however, some
remedies such as simple laxatives,
standard garg1es, etc, which ought to
be perfectly safe if used with intel
lisence and discretion.
1 spoke, the other day, OF the
value Of first aid course for general
household use. This is a good op-
rortunity to tie q warning to THAI,
too.
First Aid Means First Aid.
A little knowledge is dangerous
thing, Don't rely on yourself any
mere than you have to. The idea Of
First Aid is that if should be First
Aid. while you are waiting for the
doctor.
Even as I write I think what a
naockery that must sound to that
large class of people, not poor
enough to go to public dispensaries
and yet Lying on such narrow mar
gin of income that the Doctors bill
IS their worst nightmare,
] hope / shall see the day when
some system of public health in
aurance, such as that advocated by
DR. Richard Cabot, shall make it pos
sib!e for such people to have medi
cal aid whenever they need it with
out mortgaging their futures to get 1t.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

All Suet that comes into the kitchen
should be saved and clarified by
melting.
Celery can be added to eggs in some
dishes and so can cured fish of vari-
Gus kinds.
Poached eggs can be served on toast
with spinach, creamed onions or
creamed celery.
If q metal spoon is left in the
saucepan the contents will not boil
quickly, because the spoon carries off
a great deal of heat.

BAY STATE DEMOCRATS FAIL
 ITO FILE FULL TICKET

Boston, Aug. 2O.-With the excep- ton of the gubernatorial candidates, the democratic party in Massachu- setts for the second successive year failed to file nomination papers for it's candidates on the state ticket. The time for filipg closed tonight. Names can be placed on the ballot at the state election by stickers, however.
 Candidates for governor named were Edward P, Barry and William A. Gaston of Boston and Richard Ii. Long of Birmingham. Former Governor David I. Walsh was the only candi- date for senator.
 Nomination papers for a full state ticket headed by Calvin Coolidge for governor were filed by the republicans The withdrawal of Governor Mccall from the senatorial contest leaves Senator John W. Weeks alone in the republican field
