ment.

Cissy Flares Up at Me
Chapter 80

Dick and Cissy were not ~particu-
larly good friends after that.
I'm afraid Cissy hasn't the quail

hat Dicks success has quite upset
Cissy. They a he's taken TO

This news distressed me. I didn't

toned at an angle from which ne
could see that my negligee had

terror was excellent acting. he had
not perceived my danger but after
ward he felt that he ought to have
done so.
At any rate, Cissy and Dick ceased
to be friends from that moment. And
it was most unfortunate because the
company was about to go on loca-
ton.
The director had decided to work
exteriors for a couple of months.
The company would spend a week
at a famous falls. then two weeks in
town, and after that would take a
long trip to a mountain wilderness.
On location at the falls, Cissy and

In the north the silver fox pro-
vides trappers with pelts of great
value. Silver fox farming has been
widely advertised as q way to make
money. But this kind of fur farm
ing contains a hazard. The silver
fox is homogeneous. If his mate
dies he can hardly be induced or
persuaded to accept a substitute.
Facts about monogamy in the ami
NAL world caused an inquirer to ask
why loyalty in love seems to be SO
difficult for some men.
Probably few men can answer
that. But most men can say honest
ly that when a man marries his in
tentions toward his wife are inva-
riably of the best. Obviously, no man
asks a girl to wear his name, no mar
promises to devote his energy to the
support of a home and a wife unless
he is at the time sincere.
But when a mar marries his trou-
bles begin-with himself.
They begin because he does not
understand his own nature.
Educated and uneducated lovers
are alike in this ignorance. No

months. Some follow the Freudian

DIPHTHERIA TEST IS
GIVEN At METUCHEN

METUCHEN, Dec. 2:-About
three hundred and fifty children
over the age of two years we're sub
jected to the Schick test yesterday
by DR.. Abraham Zingher. OF the New
York health department. to deter
mine their susceptibility TO diph-
iberia.
Next Wednesday afternoon those
who were treated today will be ex-
amined and those found to be sub
ject to the disease will receive an
incubation, to be followed in weekly
periods by two further NEGOTIATIONS.
About one-third of the school en-
rollment were treated yesterday and
ii is expected that a far greater
number will present themselves fo-
the test next week. In every case
the written consent of the parents IS
required.
Through the interest shown by
the members of the local board of
health in the welfare of the COM
munity. the opportunity is afforded
of examinations without charge.
Metuchen is said to be the only
community in northern New Jersey
where the entire student body of the
schools have had the tests made
available, and as nine out of ten
cases respond to the tests, the pos
sibility of a diphtheria epidemic is
far removed.
The treatment consists of a pune
ture in both arms, as is done in Civ
ing a hypodermic, which very few
of the children seemed to mind.
The tests were made in the
Franklin school during the after
noon. Those assisting DIR. Zingher
were DIR. A. L. Ellis. medical inspec-
tor of the schools; c. p. Hull, secre-
tary of the board of health: T. G.

taken for granted that mere man steps into
a foreign land the moment he crosses the
threshold of the nursery. If by any bold
chance he picks up the child and attempts to
hold it in his arms all of the women in the
vicinity glare at him Indignantly and exclaim
in chorus of protest:

He has, without doubt, broken one or more
of the cardinal rules of baby education. He
is an ignoramus the baby question. All
the women tell him so. And after while he
begins to believe that they are right and he
leaves the baby alone.
Where is the logic in this estimate of the
situation? Every man, just as every woman,
was a baby once himself and knows exactly
how it is. For instance, he recognizes 6
a. m. squall as signal that breakfast will
be acceptable to the infant Immediately. By
the same processes of deduction he appre-
ciates the significance of the early afternoon
hullabaloo. Nine times out of ten the baby
wishes for nothing more than some person in
authority (any sex) to pinch him on the
cheek and murmur: "Oozum- woozzum"
But no, the male is not permitted to cater
to these simple whims In the first place.
even if he could interpret the child's calls
for help, he would be sure to botch the lob
some way.
Most men, through disinterest or natural
love of ease, are quite content to sit back and
concede that they are lacking in the ordinary
intelligence required to care for babies.
Others, with paternal instincts far exceed
ing anything their wives might show in the
maternal line, become confused by the mass of
testimony ranged against them and fall in
with the theory that they should remain aliens
to baby's kingdom
