Going 10 France, "

"Tou will pardon me-" I said. but l do not think 1 caught just what you were saying. "You know my ears ever since my accident"
 l left the sentence unfinished pur- posely, salving my coscience with the sophistry that l had not actually said my hearing was temporarily impaired.
 "I knOW," she rejoined sympatheti- cally. Tt is often d temporary effect of shock such as you must have un- dergone. l was speaking of my niece's joy in her prospect of. joining the American hospital service next week"
 She's going to F'rance." ex- claimed, and I was glad. indeed, to sec that my hostess unsuspectingly trans lated the not of relief in my voice into an enthusiastic expression of interest
 Yes, she sails next week." the other Mrs. Graham replied Isn't it wonderful "
 'Tndeed it is!' I returned heartily "I actually envy the women who have the hospial training in these times They have such boundless opportuni- ties for service. Your niece ought to be especially we'll adapted to the war work" I added.
 Tn my thanJlfulness that I was so soon to be relieved of the possibility of meeting Miss Hoyt I felt disposed t6 say everything pleasant concern ing her that l could.
 She is" my hostess confirmed my statement with emphasis Tn the first place, she's a wonderful nurse, and in the second place never saw such discretion as is hers. When she leaves the hospital she seems to forget everything connected with it. She rarely mentions even the name of her

patients, and as for telling me inter- esting or amusing incidents concern ing her work as so many nurses dO and with no harm either, I don't think l have ever heard her say 50 words about any patient she ever had"
 My spirits rose at her words. aI- though I had been practically sure of what she was telling me before she spoke of her patients, and was going to sail for France the next week there would be no need of my abridging my acQualntanceship with her charming aunt because of her fear that I might some day encounter the clear eyes of the woman who, instinctiveIy felt. had looked into chambers of my mind over which I was sure the curtains hadn't been securely drawn.
 T should think she would be glad to forget everything connected with the hospital" l said with d little shiver. "I have the greatest admira- ton, even envy for a successful nurse, but am sure I never could be one"
 An Unexpected Arrival.
 Tt requires an unusual combina- ton of qualities" my hostess assented. NtS of tea? Yours is quite cold
 ''Thank you," 1 returned relinquish- ing my cup to her. Your tea is too delicious for me to refuse. But 1 don't deserve another although it was because l was so interested in what you were saying that l let mine get cold"
 What a delightful compliment" she smiled, looking into her teapot of quaint Chinese ware. Do you know, this pot is entirely too large for just two It's too bad there isn't some body else here to enjoy these other cups"
 A clear thinking ring of the door bell punctuated her sentence She smiled as she rose.
 Perhaps my wish has come true." she said as she left the room.
 A moment later l heard her voice in the hall
 "Why Winifred, my dear, how glad and surprised l am. Come right out to the veranda and have d cup of tea There's some one there you have met before.'

 Now, as l happen to know. Georges business is not at all bad. But my lady wanted money for other things.

 The girl accepted the price. indeed she gave her cousin to understand that she could not possibly pav anv more. But she could buy d much more expensive suit and hat than her hostess could afford, she could spend money quite freely on movies and college ices. and she capped the climax when she told the latter she had found a bargain in silk stock inGs and advised her to get some. They were one dollar and seventy five cents q. pair!

 "Oh, how delightfuI!' she exclaimed. Do tell me about it.
 There really is nothing to tell" I returned mendaciousIy. Her nurse and mine knew each other very well, and I saw her quite frequently. She is a most charming woman, and how closely she resembles you!"
 DO you really think so?" she asked, a pleased infection in her tone, and I drew a. deep breath of satisfaction that the subject had been so success fully skirted.
 For if 1 read Winifred H0yt's clear, honest eyes alright, no word of my ex- perience in the hospital would reach her aunt through her. She might spea k casually of her interesting patient. but of more personal incidents, never. She was of the type of nurse to which my little friend, Katherine Sonnot be- longed, to whom the condolences, the secrets of her sick rooms were a. sacred as if they had been given to d priest.

Grandmother Was The Doctor.

In the early days of our country. grandmother was the druggist, and her drugs consisted mostly of roots and herbs gathered from the fields and forests. There was peppermint for indigestion, mullen for coughs skullcap for nervousness, thorough wort for colds, wormwood for bruises and sprains and so on. They were successful remedies, too. II was from a com bination of such roots and herbs that Mrs. Lydia F. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass, more than forty years ago, originated her now famous Vegetable Compound: and during all these long years no other remedy has ever been discovered to restore health to ailing women so success fully as this good Old-fashioned root and herb medicine.
