By Mildred Marshall.

II far names should be given
to fair women, Selma is a favorite

of Ireland and Scotland for genera
tion after generation. Finally it
spread over the border into England
and was straiEhtway adopted as a
national Iavorite.
The Bible records a Sclmai. which
may be taken as identical with
Selma, and the name is thus given
a religious significance The Dutch

of selma Otherwise, there is lit

In this country. the South adopt-

association with feminine beauty

A look of anxiety came into his
eyes
Il say, Alison, do look as though
l had much of an edge?"
NO" she answered amusedly,
but you will. if you keep on at this
rate. Run along and dance instead
of going back to that mysterious
locker of Tonys"

hopelessly. You're all dated up"
For Heavens sake. you don't have
TO dance with your wife Just because

Alison. There was a helplessness
about this big, strong. young hus-
band of hers at once appealing and
mirth- provoking. He reminded her
of small child who needed a guild e
ing hand.

She glanced across the room to
where Gwen Parker sat in the full
light of assembled eyes. She had
Just finished a dance with Warren
Bradley, during which the tabbies
had noted every look, every gesture
that passed between them. The
knowledge had heightened the
ruddy glow in her cheeks, but her
superb poise remained unshaken.
Bradley remained beside her. He
was leaning over her evidently urg-
ing her to something. but Gwen
was shaking her head smilingly.
Alison knew intuitively that Brad
ley was trying to entice her out to
the isolation of the tete a tete cor
ners of the veranda
Osborne followed his brides
glance.

SSH" counseled Alison. He was
never engaged to Gwen, I'm sure.
But think she was awfully fond of
him, from what people said She's
never confided in me-"
With the single idea of obeying
instructions permeating his none
too-clear consciousness, Osborne
made his way to the couple under
discussion. The music was Just
starting.
Alison watched until she saw him
deftly extract Gwen from Bradley
and dance off with her, leaving the
other man to gaze after them, tight
tipped, and thoughtful-eyed.
Tony came up to claim his dance.
You sure are cutting a wide
swathe tonight" he told her per-
spiringly as he trundled her off in a
one step. Tony danced after the
fashion of a rubber ball. his face

WHEN TO BATTLE.

There is no one function Of the

determine the temperature of the
water in which he reacts most com
fortably, and that question once
settled, bathing is safe and beneh-
cial at any and all times. 1t is adj
visablc to wait am hour after eat
ing before doing any strenuous en-
crcise and this includes bathing.
Not because of the water but be-
cause of the exercise.
