To the best of Lucinda's judg-
ment, however, the greater part of
Mr.. Laughlin's efforts had meant to
Tommy precisely nothing at all. Be-
yond the documentary mechanics o.

something wrong with her own

GO ON WITH THE STORY.

Stage, as the layman understands
that term, there was none; but the
floor space as a whole was rather
deliberately cluttered with what Lu-
cinda was to learn were technically
known as "sets," in various stages
of completion and demolition; a set
being anything set up to be photo
graphed, from a single side" or
FLAT with a simple window or door,
or an "angle" formed Of two such
sides joined TO show the corner Of
room, up to the solid and pretentious
piece of construction which occupied
fully one half of the left and repro
duced the Palm Room at the Ritz
Carlton.
At the far end of the room a sub
Stantial set represented a living
room, good part of it was masked
from Lucinda's view by a number of
massive but portable metal screens
or stands arranged in two converg-
ing ranks, at whose apex stood
heavy tripod supporting small
black box. To these stands lines of
insulated cable wandered over the
floor from every quarter Of the
room.
An atmosphere of apathy pcrvad-
ed the place, as Ii nothing Of mo-
ment was happening or expected to
happen. An effort to which con-
siderable contribution was made by
the lugubrious strains of three
piece orchestra, piano, violin and
cello, stationed to one side of the
lving-roOm set.

sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from
inactive bowels and liver.

in Ohio, perfected a vegetable CON-
pound mixed with olive oil to act on the
liver and bowels, which he gave to his
patients for years.
