Philip Ames Makes a Confession

The day had started badly for
note episode and Inundated by the
careless attitude of Philip Ames.

among the cushions of her chaise
Tongue. her eyes she had covered
with her arm.
"If you haven't anything in par
ticular to do you might take the
car and get some things for me up
town." She had removed her arm.
Her eyes were damp. There's a
list on the desk-some things ]
need"
The car was soon waiting for me
in the drive. AS the door was clos
ing after me l heard someone call.
Just a moment-please, Miss Sor-
ensen!"
Philip Ames was hurrying along
the walk.
Wont you run me uptown, II
you're going?" he said.
Don't you have your IA here.
Mr.. Ames?" 1 knew the question was
rude.
"Yes-it's right there at that curb

carefully toward the side drive, "but

vegetables. fresh fruits and light
cold dishes. Pastries, fats, sugars
and starches should be eaten but
sparingly in hot weather.
Sometimes on a hot night the mere
changing from one room into an
other will break the worry chain
and thereby cause sleep to come.
Sometimes reading an amusing story
for half an hour or so, or drinking a
glass of warm milk will work Won
ders.
Don't get the notion into your
head that hot weather causes in
somnia. Hot weather can't because
there is no such disease as insomnia.
If one can't sleep. or can sleep only
by fits and starts it's merely a signal
or symptom of something else that
is wrong, any n of a hundred or
more possible conditions. the COM
monest of which can be remedied by
some one of the cooling off methods
described above.
In addition. an electric fan will
eelp If it Is placed so that the
draft from it does not blow direct
ly on the sleeper. It's best placed in
front of a window so that it will suck
in fresh air from outside.

,Nardonski, who still had his orches-

and just is annoying as ever, and
Shirley, who had long since forgot
ten her lisp. Media waited until
the others had gone-she was rest
less and irritated, she fairly snapped
at something Shirley said once.
Cant stand that silly little

had gone off and We were alone.
You used to like her-better than
anyone else. Don't you think being
married has improved herr"
"Yes-no. l don't know"
she seems happy enough
though 1 don't think quite as
she isn't. She's trying to get
her family to promise her $4,000 a

She loves a good income better.

most ragged-well, shabby anyway"
What a pessim!st you are!" l ex-
claimed, and tried to laugh.
Media opened a carved wooden
box on the table and took a cigar
cite. She walked restlessly back

on the couch.
II am. It's a rotten sort of life

sleeping on Hot Nights

Sleeping on hot nights is largely
a matter of keeping the mind cool.
BY that it is meant that no matter
how exhausting the day has been,
nor how hot the night. one should
try to Danish worry when one climbs
into bed. Lie back on the pillow
with both mind and muscles relaxed
and sleep will loon steal over you.
Oddly enough. n person who has
worked himself into a mental hys-
terra because of the heat can WOO
sleep successfully by means of a
warm bath-not a cold me-. A pro-
longed arm bath relaXes tense mus
cles, and, although reddening the
skin. has the beneficial effect of
Withdrawing the blood from the CEN
tiers within. 1t generally is followed
by a comfortable feeling of drowsi-
ness-then sound, healthy sleep.
For those tired mentally, as well
as physically, a hot foot bath just
before getting into bed serves to put
one in a sleepy frame of mind by
drawing the blood from the head.
The evaporation process enables
many TO drop off to sleep despite hot
nights. This consists OF taking a
prolonged luke-warm bath. Then
instead of drying oneself with a
towel stretch out, still damp, on the
bed and let the normal current of
air circulating in the bedroom dry
one by evaporation. In this way the
body experiences a delightful feeling
| of GOODNESS hat tends to produce
comfortable sleep.
If these methods fail to make n
sleep there is something radically
wrong with the individual himself.
Generally it can be traced to over
eating or to the eating of the wrong
foods for hot weather. In such cases
the evening meal should be selected
with extreme care, hot, heavy meals
being eliminated in favor of green

I don't suppose l shall ever forget
The picture we made as we sat there,
Colin on the broad stool with the
freight behind him, l on the couch.
Outside there was a steady driZZling
rain, cold and depressing as only a
November rain can be. 1t was long
past twilight, but a faint glow from
the lighted city came through the
big studio windows.
We were sitting in a pool of light
that came from the candles on the
high mantel, and from the fire. 1t
touched up the silver tea service
that stood on a table beside me,
making cleaning high lights on ev-
cry piece, and it threw a soft twi-
light over the big room. 1t made of
Collins figure a dark silhouette
against the red glow of the burnt
lcgs-a queer grotesque outline of a
man with terribly bent shoulders
and hollow chest one arm somehow
hugging his knees, the other raised
so a hand held the cigarette to his
mouth. Colin was profile to me, l
caught all the LONELINESS and none
of h good points of him-except
that only total darkness could ex-
tinguish that great mop of red hair!
He had kissed me, and said he
was not in love with me!
And / believed him in spite of the
contradiction of action and word.
For somehow it was not a lovers
kiss-at least I thought it was not.
Ellen came in for the tea tray,
and switched on some of the lights.
And when she had gone Colin turn
ed to smile at me, that lovely, SYM
pathetic smile that made him beau

suffering from a severe cold.

were held--all a result of the war.
Then, why are not the Irish enti-
tied to this same justice2 England
should give Ireland her freedom,
or at least permit her the same
measure of self-government that
she has allowed to Canada"
The archbishop spoke feelingly
upon this matter, and perhaps lest

Dublin, Jan. 2S.-The announced
resignation of Roger n. Sweetman
from the Irish republican parlia-
ment owing to what he termed rad
ical disagreement with the majority
of his fellow members on vital mat

A prominent Sim Fein leader to-

the resignation meant the final
quashing of the peace movement
in which Mr.. Sweetman and Father
Michael O'Flanagan. acting presi-
dent of the Sim Fein, participated
conspicuously.
Another reason for the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Sweetman was given
in a statement from another source
today. This was to the effect that
there was meeting recently of the
Dali Eireann--the first since
Eamonn de yalera's return to Ire

on the question of peace or a con-
tinuance of the struggle. 1t was

Senator King denounced the
soviet at length and had several
lively clashes with Senator France,
republican of Maryland, author of
the Russian trade resolution.
Mr.. France said he had seen a
contract yesterday, obtained. he
explained, by a reputable New
York merchant for purchase of
100000 worth of American tools
and agricultural implements for
which the central cooperative So
ciety of Russia had agreed to lay
down gold in New York. Because
