to find that a tiny, little buZzing
creature could so annoy our placid

For momest Tony's eyes
locked mine. I wondered II he was
trying TO warn me against this
woman he hadn't even seen.
Then Carlotta burst out in
voice vibrating with the feelings
she hadn't been able to suppress:
I'm not placid. I learned long
ago that for a big woman to buzz
around would be as silly as for
st. Bernard dog to try and sit in
some ones lap: But / criticized
Rose Cordova so cattishly, be-
cause I'd probably like to play the
very tricks she undoubtedly uses
to advantage on most of the men
who come her way"
IT wouldn't say most men,"
broke in Tony dryly. Your de-

II called her a humming bird"
I laughed, adding far more seri-
ously: But wish she weren't So
ing to be at Jeanie's."
We might have her with us. X

suddenly very gentle. Then. as she
developed her idea, a grave eager

CARDS both business and home. He

Now that Carlotta the Great has

Again my eyes met Tony's. This
time there was undisgufsed ad.
miration in his. Even II he
couldn't fully appreciate the dis.
comforts and miseries Of my pres
ent position, he saw the fine chiv-
airy Of Carlotta's offer.

Carlotta,s eyes caught mine and
held them understandingly.
There never was another
woman like. you, .Carlotta Sturges!
You're splendid" I cried.
"Splendid.' echoed Tony.
Carlotta started, leaned across
the table eagerly, her face alight.

KEEP MIND ALERT
DIR. VIM. A. McKeeyer.

My added word is this: All
parents may greatly profit by
such a course. Put away the false
idea that one must have finished
a college course in order to be able
to go on with his intellectual de.
velopment. College graduates are
not scholars. They are not even
educated. They have merely
learned how to study; that is, some
of them. Many college graduates
remain in ignorance because they
do not go on with what was begun
during the course.
But the central idea here Is
enough, as 1t easily mounts to the
status of an ideal. That is, young
parents should early begin a nome
study, home reading course suited
to make them later the intellectual
leaders and inspirers Of their
growing children.
Cheap literature, cheap music.
cheap entertainment, cheap gos-
sip, cheap thinking-these blight
the mind and belittle the soul of
too many young parents +oday.

COLLINS OF
ILL HEALTH
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

T is astonishing how many.
factors Of safety exist in the
= human body. The body Is
by no means fool proof. as the
saying goes, but II win often
stand a great deal Of reckless de-
fiance Of the laws Of health.
which is because there are so
many ingenious devices intended
to safeguard the organism as
whole.
People oftentimes pride them
selves upon the apparent immu-
nifty which they enjoy in these
matters. They do the most out
rageous things from the stand.
point Of health conservation, and
vet nothing terrible happens, so
far as we can see. They some
times repeat these performances
year in and year out, either out
Of sheer bravado or because they
underestimate the peril OF their
actions.
This sort Of thing goes to show
how efficient and faithful some Of
the aforesaid safety factors are.
and reveals no high degree of in.
telligence on the part Of the per.
sons under discussion. Any one
of even ordinary intelligence
would have a reasonable amount
of respect for these factors Of
safety. and certainly would not
abuse them Willingly.
We expect young folks to go to
considerable lengths in the way
Of strenuous activities. bu
healthy youth possesses much re-
serve vigor, engages in such ac-
tivities with a happy spirit, and
reacts in a wholesome manner.
1t is the older folk whom we
/, find acting IN idiotic and indefen-
sible ways from the health stand
point. There is the business man
who is forever immersed in his
commercial affairs, who plays too
little, who smokes too much, who
eats too much and WHO is in gen
eral a hard.boiled proposition, and
then there Is the woman who Is
equally immersed in provincial
matters, drinks too much tea.
does too much drudgery, is too
tense nervously, never smiles and
IL unduly irritated by trifles.
But long continued abuse Of
this sort finally breaks down the
best of safety factors, and the
soblins Of Ill health get their vic.
tins.
