HONA'S PLEA

'tNfother, I would like to say a few words to Miguel before we leave,' said 1lona, as her mother got up to go. 'I have several things of i'm portance that he must hear and may be you and father will wait outside for me a minute or rwo?"
 Mrs, Cameron smiled her willing ness and for an instant allowed her eyes to rest on Miguel appraisingly She found him handsome. It was maybe lucky for Ilona and the fam fly that she had been found. Young girls were impressionable. A turn of a cheek, the cleft in a mans chin, dark eyes, all these could work for destruction to the heart of even the most se1f-composed maiden.
 = Once alone with Miguel, IIona held out her two slim hands to him in gratitude and longing. Her eyes held the light that only he had ever seen and her upper lip quivered ever so slightly as she bade him goodbye.
 Miguel. my chief. is it possible that you and I have come to a parting of the ways?" she asked in a low voice s.Miguei, it doesn't seem possible that I am ito become a gay butterfly, to live a life of ease and comfort, to sleep between real sheets every night. and learn how to be a fine lady, a real truly Golden Girl, my Miguel. instead of just your golden girlr I can't bear to think of it. I don't want to be made lover. Migueli Why don't you say something? Why do you stand there so still? Don't you care E suffer? Miguel, Miguel, Miguel! can't go and leave you. my peopre, fcs. you are my people Miguel, hold n1eabto you. Take me away before it

came fast and furous as I1ona talked She threw her nervous little body against Don Miguers, entreating him as she did so to take her away.
 Through it all. the man stood tall, dark, baffled. Instead of the joy that he had imagined would follow the discovery of I1ona,s parentage there was nothing but tears and tragedy The girl seemed on the verge of col lapse. Yet there was nothing that could be done. She belonged to her people and ito another life.
 Gently he soothed her, shaking. her caressfngly to bring her to her senses and warning her that her father and mother were but a few feet away and could hear what she was saying For their sakes she must be careful They were so overjoyed to have her again and they had suffered so through the years Surely she would remember this and not cause them any unnecessary pain.
 Ilona did come to her senses at his words. She dried her eyes with her long hair and the hem of her danc- ing dress. Then choking down the last sob, she drew herself up and looked into MiguePs unhappy eyes
 of course you are right must remember who I am now. I, uona, a Cameron of Kentucky. of one of its oldest families, a lady, no longer just a happy gypsy. free5to wander at will Miguel, you are quite right to remind me of my new dignity. and thank you. But please do not remember me as anything but Iona. princess, your golden girl and if ever we meet again and you need me, you know that shall be ready to help you.

Answer-It is cruel, disease-pro- ducing. unhygfenic to bare the legs Of
 little children in cold weather. The | skin is chilled, by which process the
 internal organs, the lungs, kidneys
 and so On become congested and subject to disease a long series of diseases-tonsilitls, adenoids, diph- theria. pneumonia and the rest. What, by the way, is fashion. Is it man? Then what is his name? Is it woman; then we would gladly
 print her name if 1t is divulged as being the most powerful potentate in l the cosmos. Fashion is indeed but | an arbitrary dictation from some un- l ackn nowled ged source which controls 1 the ideas of most women, and which is
 responsible today for most "commou co1ds," pneumonias and consump-
 tions, kidney and heart troubles than any other equal factor; which snaps
 its senseless fingers in the face of Fate.

 ed in the fashion," declared Elmer

 fashion hold sway over women old | enough to know what they are going to wear; but do you, good mother, protect your little child, not yet four years old against the wintery eIe- ments and clothe him in comfort and according to the temperature and the common sense, not to the fashion of the season.
