By HELEN KENDALL THE GLIDING SWING

The ingenuity and the unceasing activity of the manufacturers is a never-ending marvel to me. Not con- tent with turning out the same old articles to which we are so ac- customed, they are constantly hunt ing out new ways of improving all the furniture and equipment of our homes and making these homes more convenient and comfortable.
 Have yCu ever gotten yourself nicely settled in one of the ordinary porch swings-the kind that hangs by ropes from the ceiling-and got ten all "set" for tranquil hours s reading or nap, and then had some one inadvertently brush against one end of the swing and start 1t, twist ing with a sort of corkscrew, sea- sick motion? There's only one thing tC do then, sit up straight, put your feet on the floor, stop the swing entirely, and then lie cautiously down again to avoid starting one end or the other to swaying.
 And now along comes porch swing that swing in one direction only-back and forth, not endwise also. It is called a glider, and it doesn't hang from the ceiling at all. nor even from an iron framework erected from the ground. It's base rests solidly on the floor, immovable, and the big comfortable couch in side the two fixed ends glides back and forth along groove that per mits no sidewise motion whatever. No wobbly twisting or dzzying screw movement. but a steady. even gliding that is as restful as 1t is easy.
 When lying down in this couch swing, one can start or stop the gliding motion by a mere touch on the stationary end at head or foot. To my mind. it is d great improve ment on the old free hanging swing that moved in all directions at once

house, Cousin Blowgee only uses his hat for business though. and it is really quite convenient. Just wait until you see it!'
 After swalking for five minutes, the Raggedys and the Treemax came to where a large hat stood upon the ground. In the hat was a little door and two little windows. And little stove pipe stuck out of the top.
 Here's where Cousin Blowgee livesi" the TreemaX said.
 The Treennax and the Raggedys walked up to Cousin Blowgee's large hat and the TreemaX knocked upon the door
 How many" a voice inside saked.
 "Three," the Raggedys both said together.
 with, or without mustard?" the voice inside asked.
 Raggedy Ann looked at Raggedy Raggedy Ann for they could not understand what Cousin Blowgee was talking about.
 But they answered, "Without mus tard!" for they knew that they did not have any mustard.
 And while they stood and won dered, little window opened and three hot weeny sandwiches were pushed out to them.
 "Ha, ha, hap the Treemax laughed, "Come on out here. Cousin Blowgee, you have company!
 "Oh," It's Cousin Treemax" the Blowgee cried, T thought you were three customers and he started to take the hot weeny sandwiches away, but Raggedy Andy said, Please do not take the hot weeny sandwiches away, Cousin Blowgee, for Raggedy Ann and I like them very much!" Then they showed the TreemaX how to eat hot weeny sand wiches, for he did not know that they were good to eat, and Raggedy Ann wished for each to have a bottle of ice cold Root Beer to drink as they ate the sandwiches. And that is how the Raggedys became ac- quainted with the Blowgee, cousin to the TreemaX.

 When the waiter had taken the order and departed, Donald asked her another question.
 Are you tired, Winifred?"
 "NC, indeed Do I look sop
 "No-only all of sudden you be- came grave and quiet"
 T was thinking" she said.
 Don't" he urged. Then, as she did not smile. he added softly. of you are worrying or thinking about anything that I am or may be re- sponsible for. please stop 1t. You know things shall be just as you wish"
 A brilliant color flooded her face. Was he fearful lest his change of manner this evening was distress ing her? If only she had not seen Richard. she might let herself go might be happy in this mans new in terest in her!
 Never mind! She would make it all up to Richard lated. She would let him have some of her money to invest in his magazine. She would show him that even if she did go to the theatre and fashionable restau- rant with a rich man, she couldstill be interested in the wonderful work for the poor.
 You believe that I mean that, NlHllTeus
 Muir was speaking again. strange insistence in his manner. You do be- lieve that things shall be just as you wish?"
 Just as she wished! Then-if he meant that-she might do as she liked with some of her money! Here was a chance to strike a blow for Richard and his ideals.
 T hope you mean it, Donald" she said wistfully. For there Is some- thing I am going to ask of you later-after a while-not now nor in this place."
 A slight shadow crossed his face, then disappeared as swiftly as it had come.
 Whenever you like, dear, you may tell me how you want things to be-" he said slowly. And. no matter how hard it may be, I will try to grant your wishes"
 She flashed grateful smile at him. Frank you, dear Donald. And nowA-just listen to that wonder ful music! I have had such good time this evening""
 She leaned back in her chair with happy sigh. Later she would talk to Donald about Richards scheme. Having decided upon this. surely she had d right to enjoy the present to the full.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY
By DR. LILLIAN WHITNEY

A Constant Reader--I am indeed glad that you profit so much from this column. The local swellings of the face you describe so aptly and which cause you so much unhappi- ness are. 1 believe. of nervous origin. My advice is to consult a neurClo- gist or go to a clinic for nervous diseases. I would like to help more.
 Nixie-The need of face powder should not be necessary at your age. Refine your skin with complexion meals, used daily for cleansing pur- poses. Moisten a little of the meal with warm water and rub deeply into the skin with the finger tips. Rinse off with repeated cool waters, then mop on a complexion lotion. Here is good one for your purpose: Borax, 1 dram; camphor water. pint good home remedy for freckles contains: Horseradish root, l ounce; boiling water, l pint. Steep for twenty-four hours, strain, add 2 drams of borax. Apply tC the freckles with absorbent cotton morn ing and night.
 Mrs. E.-It is an accepted fact that pleasurable emotions have happy influence on the process of diges- ton. The old custom of exciting laughter at the table by testers was founded on a true physiological basis. On the contrary. worry, anxiety, fright or extreme excitement of various kinds have depressing effect on digestion, not only in the stomach but also in the intestines There seems to be disturbance, both of the circulatory and nervous sys- tems Nervous dyspepsia and loss of weight often follow prolonged anxiety Highly emotional natures fandpncy 10 wrinkle early. Take care at once to overcome this difficulty. A course of facial treatment would be very beneficial.
 L.-No, you do not require facial massage, nor should you employ powder. Yes, by all means dancer it is a delightful form of exercise, but do not over dc 1t, as you are growing fast and must conserve your strength Weight will come by and by. You require ten hours sleep. Live much in the open. air and confine your diet tC plain, wholesome fare.
 G, G. G.-It is the best to avoid all sweets and pastries if you wish to possess a clear. fine skin. One small broiled steak weekly will not give YOU blood. Take two quarts of milk daily and practice systematic outdoor breathing exercises. Yes. Nu are twenty pounds underweight, and two weeks camping vacation Is an ideal plans I hope you will carry 1t out Go where you will be sure of getting fresh milk, butter and eggs- Nausea and dizziness often spring from indigestion or from derange- ment of the liver. Chew all food tt' a creamy mass before swallowing and avoid such articles in your diet as you know from experience to be harmful.

 In the moment in which he held her hand she saw that he was hand somer than ever His white flannels and dark coat were of the approved cut and were, the girl reflected, just as stylish and fashionable as those worn by the other men in this place. ShI wondered swiftly how he knew just what to wear and how he was able to pay for such clothes. She hoped 1t was because his new ven- ture was succeeding.
 My! I am glad to see you~ she breathed, her eyes shining with de- light. "I was just getting terri ply homesick and bored. When did you come?"
 ''On the train getting here an hour ago. l snatched a bite of dinner, then dressed and came right over here. am staying at a little house nearer the station than this swell joint is."
 The, music was starting again, and Richard held out his hand.
 "A waltz. May have it?"
 A moment later his arm was about her, and she was dancing with him. It had never occurred to her to ask whether he could dance or not. Strange that she had never thought of 1t! Yet she might have known ths- such a lover of the beautiful would dance just in this way. He was always graceful-so, of course, he would waltz gracefully.
 She had he@rd someone speak of the poetry of notion" Surely this was it! The waltz was one of Chop in's, with which she was familiar, She had often danced to 1t at affairs at Miss Halls school.
 But not like this. She closed her eyes and felt as if her feet scarcely touched the ground. The mans strong arm held her clos and she seemed to float with him on the waves of the music. She had never known such ec1tacy of motion.

 This is the most wonderful ex- perience I have had In years. I feel as if ! had stepped into Paradise. Things have been going badly in town. Some money 1 put into some thing has been slow in returns, through my trusting a friend too much. I came here to forget 1t all. And I found you--and beauty-and- this" with gesture toward the star lit garden.

 Suddenly he leaned toward her. That dance has moved me to say what has been in my heart for weeks, Winifred," he began.
 He stopped abruptly a hotel page came out upon the veranda.
