They say Paris has not entirely re-
turned to the gay life she once re-
veled in, but IL seems quite gay yet
to me. There is practically no linn

For that reason il is the frockling

of style and luxury, displayed by the
ladies. OF course tho, in my estima-

JUGO-SLAv CHILDREN
ARE MUCH HELPED
BY Big FOOD CLUBS
American Food Clubs Prove A Great
Help to Children Of JugO-Sloyia
Who Are Getting Back
to Schools.

Organization of Food Clubs" by
American relief workers among the
children of -Slovakia is rapidly
solving the problem of getting back to
their schools which, in many districts,
have been closed since the beginning
of the world war.
Last April, representative of the
American Relief Administration saw
the need for supplying the children OF
these districts with a supplementary
ration. The children of families for
tunate enough to have a scant food
supply were underfed, and the large
majority facing actual starvation. No
reorganization of the educational ma
chinery of the country was possible
until the food difficulty was relieved.
Hungry children cannot assimilate
knowledge-and the more immediate
task of the boys and girls everywhere
was to lend khat assistance they could
to theor parents in keeping the family
larder supplied.
With an initial appropriation of 25,-
900 dollars, the American Red Cross
joined with the American Relief Ad-
ministration to bring about an i'm
provement of this situation. The re-
suit has been that today, in the sixty
six towns in Jugi-Slovakia having a
population of over 1000 persons,
school has been resumed-in some
placed on a seven-day basis-and the
children are relatively happy; they are
studying and learning.
This was accomplished through sup
plying the children, in the schools,
with hot, substantial meals each day
This consisted at first Of milk, cocoa
and sugar which when combined in

proper portions and cooked, made a
very nourishing drink. This ration
was supplemented later, when addi-
tional supplies became available, by
bread and rolls.
These activities have won the CRATE

ernmental authorities. President
Shoal, of the new government in Bos-
mia and Herr govina, has conveyed an
official expression of his appreciation
to the relief work.

stormed, already converted to the
shop religion. Customers must not
find the door shut. Run open it at
once. Suppose Mrs. Romilly dropped
In. We'd lose her-unlesS this no
toriety drives ner away" A little
blush of shame flickered in Daphne's
She sighed: 81 suppose Mr., Duane
has stopped that check, too-if he ever
sent it. Oh, dear!"
Then a nurse knocked; brought in
a card growing in large little aza-
lea tree. Daphne scanned it "Mr.
Thomas Varick Duane!' Sne peered
closer at the pencilings and read
aloud: 81 just learned. I'm heart
broken. Isn't there anything can

Daphne felt as if outraged society
had forgiven her.

Mrs. Chivvis begrudged a stingy,

But Daphne had had enough Of evil
appearance. "SeA him here? Never I"
She CARED at loST Mrs. Chivvis with
q rurroof that was excruciating to &C.
cert and ordered her to go down and
meet Mr. Duane and incidentally learn
sbout the check. Business is busi-
aess," she said.
Mrs. Chivvis descended in all the
confusion of a Puritan wife meeting
Cavalier beau. She came back later
to say that Mr.. Duane was really very
mace. and spoke beautifully and had
sent the check and would send an
other If Daphne wished it, and would
make old Mrs Romilly go on with the
order, and would she like some spe-

The Hottest City.

The city Of Hyderabad, on the great
Sind desert Of India, has the reputa-
ton Of being the hottest place In the
world, having shade temperature Of
127 degrees during the summer
months Even the natives find it hot
and that is saying something.
In order to cool their houses as much
as possible. the people make use Of
curious ventilators very much like
those on shipboard, "setting" them so
as to convey a breeze to the dwellers
in the hot rooms below. Every resi-
Dental building has several Of these
queer airshafts leading down to the
principal living rooms, and especially
to the bedrooms. Even so, 1t Is prac
tically impossible, during the terrible
heat Of summer, to get to sleep until
two or three o'clock in the morning,
and then one only gets a couple Of
hours rest, as the rays Of the Indian
sun are specially strong early in the
morning, and soon raise the tempera-
ture again to an unbearable extent.

CHAPTER xxvIi.

In the course of few wretched
days Clay picked up some Of the facts
about Daphne's presence in Wether-
ellis fatal car. He was more furious
at her than ever and more incapable
Of hating her.
He saw Bayard often, but Bayard
knew little and said less. One after
noon he invited Clay to ride with him
to the hospital, whence Leila was to
graduate. He warned Clay not to be-
tray how shocked he would be at Lei
las appearance, which, he said, was
a wonderful improvement on what it
had been.
She was, indeed, a mere shell, and
Clay was not entirely successful with
his compliments.
Leila sighed: "Much obliged for
your good intentions. I'm a mere
sack of bones, but I'm going to get
well. The doctors say that If I take
care of myself every minute and go
to lot of specialists and go to Bar
| Harbor in the hot weather and to
Palm Beach in the cold and spend
about a million dollars I'll be myself
some day. That's not much, but it's
all I've got to work for. Poor Bydie
He didn't know he was endowing a
hospital when he married me-"
"What do I care, honey" Bayard
cried, with perfect chivalry. 1.-THE
money is rolling in and I'd rather
spend it on you than on anybody else. "
"The moneys rolling out just as
fast as 1t rolls in," Leila sighed. "The
Lord seems to provide new expense
for every streak Of luck. And that's
my middle name-Expense."
She had actually learned one lesson.
That was hopeful sign.
Clay sought Daphne in her odious
Ito him) place Of business. She asked
him what she could sell him. He said
he would wait till the shop closed
She raised her eyebrows impudently
and gave him a chair in a corner. He
sat there feeling as out Of place as @

toner talked herself dumb; the last
sewing woman went. Mrs. Chivvis

everything that might be necessary to
