News For Thedter@0erS and Women Readers

[ can't" But that wasn't Lillian Un- derwood's way.
 "Oh, but you can, and you must!" she said brightly, and there was that in her words which steadied and strengthened me- I braced myself mentally and physically to be worthy of her confidence.
 Would you like to brink a bit be- fore receiving your caller?" Lillian asked mischievously, and I realized gratefully that with her usual tact she had changed the subject without any apparent effort to do so. "Oh, I don't believe William will be critical" I returned as gayly. DO bring him in at once."
 Evidently William was waiting in the hospital corridor, for when Lillian returned from the door he was follow ing in her wake.
 And such a resplendent William! l could hardly control my risible mus cles at the old chaps appearance. Where he had unearthed the different articles which com posed his wardrobe I hadn't the slightest idea. His hat was of the type which William would himself term "opry,' but it was so frayed and dented and shiny, and of so ancient a vintage that I mentally put the performance at which it had made its debut a decade or so before.
 "He Saves Me Bargains
 His coat was glaring plaid, his waistcoat and pleated shirt-both much worn--were of the conventional evening type, while his trousers were of the deadest, heaviest black stuff I'd ever seen. His shoes had once been tan, and the old fellow had evidently had them co1ored in some fashion, for they shone like varnish.
 He took off his ancient hat as he came through the door and bobbed his funny little bow at me, his face filled with pleasure at seeing me, and with pride in his get-up.
 "How do you do, William" I said, shaking the old fellows hand cordial ly. How nice you look.'
 His face absolutely glowed.
 "Howdye, Mis- Gramie," he re- turned. 'This suit haint nuthin'. You should see some of the clothes I've got, but I couldn't get 'em fixed up in time to come today"
 His tone was that of opulent sartorial light, yet I knew that the poor old chaps coins were few. I waited, making no comment, sure that Williams loquacity would betray the secret in another moment or two.
 Would you like to know where I git such swell things, Mis- Gramie?" he asked.
 "Of course, William" I returned.
 Well, there's a feller in Jamaica keeps a secondhand store and pawn shop that I used to work for. He al- ways saves me bargains and lets me work 'em out. I worked pretty near two weeks for these things, hard, too. Of course, he give me my eats an let me sleep on the floor, so wasn't any thing out except my work"
 My heart was hot within me at the rapacity of the secondhand man who had exacted so great a toll for the bizarre clothing. I opened my lips to remonstrate with William, to show him his folly, then a sudden flash of insight closed them effectually.
 Williams clothes made perfect hap piness for him. No price was too great for him to pay when one con- sidered the result to him.

Tt is such a joy to mo to be able to leave mother with the children. always have her over whenever I go off anywhere, or even when I'm out for the evening"
 So a young married friend of mine told me the other day.
 Though the mother of quite a brood of youngsters, she has not been at all subdued by maternity but loves to trot about with her husband. She had just come back from one of the motor trips which they make several times a year, and was all ready plan ming a weekend visit to a friend in the country for the next week.
 Quite Perfect All Around.
 And you know mother is so fond of the children,'' she went on, that I feel it's a treat for her, so it's quite perfect all around.'
 As she beamed with self gratu1a- ton over the pleasantness of her path, a little scene came before my minds eye.
 I had happened to be calling on the mother at the daughters house one day just before the daughter and her husband were to start on weeks gypsying in the motor. They departed in a furry of final instruc- tions from the daughter to see that Robert got his cough medicine and Amy didn't run to school, and of re- assurances and good wishes for the grandmother. As she came back from waving goodbye at the window she said: Tt must be great fun to go off on a, trip like that and never know where you are going to be at night There was the least note of wistfulness in her voice but it van- ished as she went on. I'm so glad

Grandmother Waves Good-Bye
RY pUH OAlGEHOH

Lucy isn't tied down the way we used to be when our children were little." She Didn't Make Any Complaint She didn't say that dearly as she loved the children she would like som etimes to be going too, but the unconscious wistfulness of her voice said it for her.
 She married young, her means were fairly limited and all through her own motherhood she was tied down. She had never known the little luxuries. the dinners and theaters and trips that her daughter had so much of. And now she is a grandmother and plainly it never occurred to her daughter that she might still enjoy a taste of such things
 Why Not q Real Frivolous Junket for
 the Old Folks.
 think it is one of youths greatest mistakes to assume that when people are older they lose all taste for pleasure, to think they should be sat isfied if they have comfortable home enough to eat and can go to church and enjoy the grandchildren. These are the aples of life to be sure but the spice of life is little pleasure now and then.
 The grandmother waving goodbye at the window was typical. Youth is forever going off and waving good bye to age at home. Why not change this onte in a while and take the old folks along for a real frivolous pleasure junket?

HEALTH OF MEN
IN ARMY CAMPS
CONTINUES GOOD

this country continues very good
according to the weekly camp health
report, made public today.
Admissions TO camp hospitals num-

The number OF men incapacitated be-
cause OF slight illness also was higher,
but the death rate remained low.
National guard camps have low sick
and death rates. while the national
army camps have a higher rate. This
is explained by the fact that national
guardsmen have been in camp long
enough To become thoroughly sea
soned. while national army camps
have a number of new men.

SAN DIEGO. Cal, March 21.-An
investigation has disclosed that air
plane goggles used here, manufac-

persons wearing them.

nothing was done until Major Mitchell
