To Heal a
Scalped Head

One OF the most difficult wounds
to cure is that OF total scalping,
such as occurs when woman's
hair is caught in machinery and as
used to take place when Indians
lifted the scalps OF their enemies.
In the journal de Chirurgie (Paris),
DR.. c. Denorment describes sixty
seven such cases and their results.
The reason for the difficulty is
that the scalp Is nourished by
arteries that have no connection
with those of the skull, and the
size OF the wound Is so great that
any growth of new tissue from the
edges will never extend all over the
bare skull, or only after years of
suppuration.
DR.. Lenorment says that when
the scalping is not total every ef-
fort should be made to save the
flap by sewing IT back in place.
But when II is total he has found
the most successful treatment to
be with flaps OF tissue cut from
other parts of the patients own
body, and grated over the skull.
These flaps should be an inch or
more wide and three or four inches
long, placed close to each other or
even overlapping. He believes in
doing this at once, and says some
cases have entirely healed in
month though others take moro
than a year.

The Fascinating Story of Fine, Wealthy Girl of
Lowly Birth, Who Is Sold in Marriage
Without Her knowledge,
to Blue-Blood

. Eva walked across the garden
with Mrs. Wintsrdick to where ths
car was waiting at the front door
"I am 30 glad to have met your
mother" Mrs. Winterdick said. II
hope we shall be great friends"
But-"An appalling woman! Ap-
palling!" was her thought a. she
drove away. She felt on the verss
of tears; she stared stonily before
her ti0 she reached the Highway
House what q family for Phil to
marry into-poor Phil! But tho
girl After all, she seemed
nice"
She would have been amaxed II
she could have known the thoughts
in Eva's heart as she went slowly
back to rejoin tho others.
"She hated us ALL know she
hated u.s." she was telling herself
passionately. II wish she had
never come"
Kitty rose to go as she rejoined
them. She was toying with rose
she had been wearing; perhaps 1t
was Intentionally that she dropped
it at Peters feet.
He stopped awkwardly and grab
bed 1t up.
Kitty smiled into his embarrassed
face serenely.
"Are you going to see me home,
Mr.. Dennison? Yes, OF course, I shall
be pleased. Good-by. dear"--this
last to Eva. "Good-by, dear Mrs.
Dennison. Good-by, Mr.. winter
dick"
There was a little additional note
of sweetness in her voice as she
looked at Philip.
PHILIP STOPS.
Eva watched her crossing the
lawn with Peter. and her heart
swelled with anger. Had she quar-
led with Philip. and was this her
unworthy revenge-to flirt with q
boy who was too young and unso-
value?
Philip was talking animatedly to
Madge Ackland. He looked very
much the same as usual. she
thought. and a little throb OF hope
went through her.
Perhaps he did not really care for
Kitty; perhaps she had imagined
more than half the devotion she
thought he had shown. She went
over to him.
Are we going to play again."
He answered at once:
or course, we are-I'm only wait
ing for you. Come along, Foster:
don't be lazy" He prodded Foster
with his foot as he lay sprawled on
the grass.
They were halfway through
long when suddenly Winterdick
stopped. He looked at Eva.
"I can't go on--I'm dead beat! Do
you mind II we stop?
He stammered little as he spoke;
his lips pale.
Eva was all concern.
"Of course, we'll stop. dare
say it's the sun. 1t has been hot"
She stopped and began to collect
the balls. She was afraid that he
should see in her eyes how anxious
she was for him. She told Foster
and his partner that II was she who
had given in.

English Drama

Today the drama Is flourishing
in English as 1t has not fourjshed
In at least two centuries. says
Brander Matthew'S writing in the
Century Magazine. On beth sides
of the Atlantic there are now
dramatists OF varied ability who
have mastered the mystery Of play
making. and who are setting before
us on the stage the life OF our own
time, ingeniously. inventively. and
on occasion imaginatively. No long
er do British and American man
ayers pick up the crumbs that fall
from the tables OF the French; they
can set forth a bounteous feast
without being forced to import
canned meats from foreign parts.

How to Save
Mending

A THRIFT-LOVING Englishwom-
- an who makes her meager
living going about among
q circle OF friends doing mending
and renovating. darning and patch
ing. has some suggestions to make
that would reduce the work of
mending and make your clothes last
longer.
She says that II is always wise to
buy two or more pairs of stockings
alike. Nothing is so annoying as to
find one stocking in fair condition
and mend IL nicely, only to find that
the mate has so many runs up the
leg as to make 1t past mending. II
there were only more stockings OF
the same sort the one good stocking
might be used until worn out.
This mending woman has her own
opinion of electric clothes wringers.
wrinsers of any sort for that mat
ter, though she knows. as every
one knows, that 1t is quite possible
to use q wringer without tearing
off 4 button IL the clothes are only
folded with the buttons on the in
side and lifted slightly as they are
fed to the wringer.
On thin material or on clothes
that are going TO get hard wear.
the buttons should always be back
ed with a piece OF heavy material.
II Is worth while to run a strip of
tape behind the buttons the whole
length of the place where there are
buttons. She finds that IL she gives
this attention to new underclothes
there is little work later on in the
way OF sewing on buttons.
Another thing that she finds
worth while is to go over any new
garment when IL comes into the
house. No matter how expensive
IL is. there may be little places
where the threads have not been
properly tied, places where the ma
chine has run off the line. loose
hooks and eyes. buttons or fasten-
'ers. II you attend to all these
matters to begin with you will not
have to do so later, and you will not
be annoyed by the loss Of a button
or fastener.

The scientists have figured that
the average person needs daily but
three ounces of protein, two ounces
OF fat, and twelve ounces OF carbo-
hydartes. This in the case OF a
rather sedentary person. The rest
OF the four pounds is merely water.
OF course II is Impractical for us to
weigh or measure our food daily,
but a safe guess is that we are con-
suming vast quantities more than
we need. A superfuity not only is

When a Girl Marries

With Strange Forebodings
BY Ann Lisle.

A we passed the big settee IN
~ the hall OF Dreamwold. Neal
picked up a heavy cape that
was lying there and exchanged 1t
for the coat that hung over my
shoulders out on the lawn.
"It'll warm you up bit and
keep them from asking embarrass-
ing questions about your going out
for 4 presumably stroll without
even stopping for wrap" he
hastily explained.
/ had just time for q quick
squeeze OF his hand when Phoebe
ran up to join US. felt sure that
Neal knew the handclasp meant
not only thanks but q plea for him
to keep absolutely to his promise
that no word be said of our pur-
suit of the prowler who had escaped
in the waiting limousine.
Anne. dear. cried Phoebe fuss
lily. don't you know better than
to 60 roaming about on a cold
night like this with no hat or rub
bers or anything to protect you
from all the river dampness? You're
all upset Getting Jesnie to be-
have was too much for you"
Just then Virginia appeared on
the scene. Her nonchalance seemed
to indicate that she hadn't heard
Phoebe's last remark.
SILLY child. what were you do
ing out without a warm coat" she
scolded amiably. THAT cape il
nothing. Now. before you take
cold, you must come right into the
dining room and drink a hot lem

then on to bed you CO."
At another time / might have en-
joyed having all this fuss made
over me. But now / was anxious
for but one thing. This was to get
to pursue the course I'd set for
toddy. however. and then submit to
being led up to my room by two
loving sisters-in-law who were
fully determined to tuck me costly
into bed. / persuaded them finally
that the greatest kindness any one.
could show me was to leave me all
to myself. So with goodnight
kiss or two, Jeanie and Phoebe
went of to their rooms in the
other wings of the house.
A PLEASING KINDNESS.
Since Jim's departure Jeanie has
felt 1t kindness to me to put me
as far as possible from the dear
little room Jim and used to occupy.
The advantages of that never ap-
pealed to me so forcibly as now. I
was all alone in the east wing. That
made certain things possible.
set my door ajar and waited for
things to quiet down in the main
corridor. AS soon as / felt that /
was safe from detection l set about
what felt I must do. Over my
shoes I pulled a pair of felt slippers
I'd found in the closet Then
flung around me the cape I'd been
clinging to from the time Neal slip
