81 say we have some food" said the
boy after few minutes.
'Yes," said the girl, "for we had
quite an exciting time in the woods
when we found we almost went the
wrong way, and I'm very hungry"
So the boy took his knapsack from
his back and they undid the luncheon.
It was extremely good. There were
delicious sandwiches and some jam
and some good, cool brook water which
had been put in crystal bottle.
There was also some candy.
II hope it isn't magic candy, which
can disappear when it wants to-" said
the boy.
''What horrible thought" said the
girl. "Why did you have to think up
sucf, a terrible thought about the can
dy? It would have been better IL you
had thought 1t about the sandwiches,
though for that matter the sandwiches
are what most want at the moment
I'm 50 extremely hungry"
They sat down and ate their lunch
con and peeked into the basket and
saw three other packages, one with q
card attached which said:
"For supper this evening"" and tho
second package said:
Fer breakfast tomorrow morning"
And there was Z third package
which was marked. Extra goodies for
extra times" This had all been fixed
for the adventures by Mrs. Wood Elf.
"She was nice, was Mrs. Wood Elf,"
said the girl. II am going to be very
careful to like only nice people and
I'm going to make no mistakes, and
I'm going to think Of serious things
and not behave in a foolish way.
"Why, I'm even going to enjoy
things when they're hard, for I'll be
feeling they are doing me great good"
maybe we will find the House Of
Secrets that way sooner" agreed the
boy.
swell, let's be off," said the girl
little later, as she wiped her mouth
with one Of Mrs. Wood Elfs leaf nap
kins. "You are through, aren't you?"
IAN through" said the boy.
Just then they heard q sobbing. It
sounded very near.
They walked along a little way,
looking in the direction from which
the sobbing came.

OUINSY.

Q. Please give all the informa,
ton you can of the disease known
as quinsy. 1t is hard for me to eat on
account of not being able to swal
low any food. 1t seem to me as if
the passage of my throat is closing
up.
In "quinsy" there is an acute in
flammation of the thorax, resulting
in the formation of sac of pus,
usually behind the tonsil This con
dition is readily relieved by opening
the sac and draining out the pus.
This, of course, can only be done by
an experienced physician. From your
letter, however, it is not at all clear
that you are suffering from quinsy,
and would urge you to consult a
physician at once, to find out the
cause of your trouble.

years of age who is very nervous.
Can | help her overcome it in any
way? How often should she be
bathed?
If her nervousness is caused by
any physical defect this should be
corrected. In any case she should
lead quiet, simple life, free from
excitement. Do not permit her to
go. to evening entertainments, but
put her to bed early in a well venti-
lated bedroom. Let her have plenty
of outdoor life and exercise, without
over-pressure in school. A warm
bath with soap before going to bed
at night, and quick cool Cor cold)
sponge in the morning, followed by
brisk rundown, should keep her
skin in excellent condition.

BEAUTY CHATS
By EDNA KENT FORBES.
\ BEAUTY FOOD.

We are long past the season of the year when a blood purifying tonic is needed. If the blood has been too thick during the winter months the skin will show it when the weather changes, and a spring tonic is need ed then. However, iC is an excellent idea to give yourself a special treat nent about once every month to keep the skin clear and the blood in pure healthy condition. I am not talking about cosmetics now. but the far more important topic of internal | cleanliness.
 l erly the skin will be sure to show it. It may be too dry or too oily, or | merely coarse pored-or it may, if l the internal condition is quite bad, be | full of little marks and eruptions. The | skin will clear as soon as the body
 is in heahhy condition again, which
 as I said before, is a matter of | proper elimination.
 The unfortunate part of all this is that we fancy these physical func- tions are going on normally when i they really are not. Whether or not | you suspect this to be the case, you will find that a little extra care every i few, weeks will give you it's reward | in the shape of a clear skin and bet ter health. And the easiest and most pleasant treatment is eating oranges. For a couple of days every month, | or every two weeks if your skin is | bad, G~1 up most of the solid foods | you normally take and eat oranges | instead. Drink the juice of two with your breakfast, have orange salad for | luncheon, drink orange juice in the l afternoon and before going to bed. | Its mild acid will not hurt you if | taken this way every two or four weeks. What it does is to cleanse | the entire system and stimulate the | elininative functions of the body. l Anxious. - The blaclIhead powder | is made by mixing two ounces of corn
 starch, one ounce of almond meal and | one ounce of powdered bOrax. It is
 used in the place of soap.

l have a new bathing suit, one that cannot possibly be mistaken for my last years. It is a radical departure in the matter of color and somewhat of a departure in fabric, at least from those seasons when mo lady, wore anything but silk into the wild waves.
 It is made of wool jersey, very fine and thin, and it is pure white save for the creamy tone that really good white wool always has.
 There is a cape and a cap to match, and all of them are mar rowly bound with black taffeta- The tunic is further adorned with appIiqued petals of black taffeta, while the girdIe is made of strands of white jersey and black taffeta braided together and knottcd.
 The tunic is long enough for reasonable modesty and short enough to give me joy in swim ming, while the trousers are much more like riding brooches than the conventional boomers and pro portionateiy more sensible and comfortable.
 My cap has Q jaunty black bound bow over one ear and may be pulled down so as pretty thor oughly to protect my hair.
 But my cape is the joy of my life, so soft and light and grace full and yet such a thorough pro lection and of such a satisfactory degree of warmth. It has a little soft collar and two short stream CTS with which to tie it in the front, and it is quite as long and as modest as ones street skirts are nowadays

There are times when I think none of US strive hard in working for the high ideals that should actuate every man and woman in whatever walk of life. Certainly when the motion pie ture has achieved so great a place in the world, has become so tremendous a factor in the moulding of public opinion, reaching as it does every class of people, it behoves us all who arc engaged in the work from what ever angle. to devote our energies to the highest attachments within our powers.

 am happy indeed to be associated with an organization that stands for the highest ideals, which devotes tine energy and money to producing pie lures which shall be constructive and uplifting, which must do good in not only bringing about a higher moral standard, but in developing an ap- preciaHon of good literature, acting, art and beauty.

 I would not take anything for the joy I have gained through good books.

As the camera first finds a subject and then develops it mechanically, so the person ill in health first selects Q treatment and then pursues it. Thus it is that the Turkish Bath has been found so efficient for men and women in the development of bodily health.
