Or one may offer cold meat. cut
into thin pieces not more than an

Don't forget onions and garlic-Just
enough to give the right flavor.
One Of the best salads consists of
sliced tomatoes, sliced young onious
and French dressing with tiny
pieces OF picked pears.
For the best potato salad the po-
tatoes should be cooked in the r
jackets and cooled before peeling.
Then they should be thinly sliced

piece of potato shine. Cool, and in
serving, add a little more oil, vim

Hard boiled eggs, cooked dressing

QUICK relief FROM
CONSTIPATION
Get DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That is the joyful cry of thousands
since DIR. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets. the substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards, a practicing physician
for II years and calomel's old-time
enemy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No gripping is the "keynote " of these
little suear-coated. olive-colored tab
lets. They cause the bowels and liver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.
Ifyou have a dark brown mouth -
bad breath--a dull. tired feeling--sick

you'll find quick. sure and pleasant re-

The Slow Walking Baby

Flora writes:
I have been reading with interest
your articles or the care and feed
ing Of babies and would like to ask
few questions about some things
Ct which l am ignorant. What is
2 formula suitable to the new born
child who is partly breast fed
what would it be II it were all
bottle fed?
Ny baby is seventeen months old
and can't walk, lat pushes chairs
and stands alone. He perspires
easily. lie is fed whole milk and
other nourishing food such as po-
tatoes, eggs, a little meat and por-
ridge. He does net seem to make
any effort to walk alone. I have
tried giving him ccd liver Oil but
can't get him to take it. oc-
casionally give orange juice.
What can l do to strengthen him
SO that he can walk alone? Could
you give a list of names that would
be appropriate for girls or boys? I
think this would be interesting to
all mothers.
Answer
The formula tried with most in
fants is three-fourths boiled water
and onefourih whole milk, I-l0
ounce of sugar for each pound of
weight. Children this age should
be under the care OF q physician
who can judge il the formula is
suited to them.
This boy needs attention. Also his
die is not sufficient. Too
much carbohydrate and not enough
fruit and vegetables, which very
plainly ne needs.
Feed him this way, and by the
way, see that he has cod liver oil,
whether or no. Don't let him rule
you when it is a matter as vital as
his good health.

read: Miss Patty Printemps, the
popular star, who has been in the
West Indies for the last six weeks,
returns tomorrow morning on the
Vestris."
For a few minutes David sat
there, too furious to speak-he did
not like to be made a fool Of
then slowly the lines of wrath
smoothed themselves away, and.
David leaned back in his chair
and laughed, long and heartily.
A little later the telephone bell
rang. A strange voice told him
that Patty could not keep her
dinner engagement, she was too
busy. David smiled as he hung
up.
About half-past ten the next
morning at the height Of David's
busiest period, two very excited
middle-aged women pushed past
the office-boy into his private
office.

waving newspaper excitedly,

She, smiled, fumbled among the
photos and handed him one,
That's she and-I!"
David's mouth formed a big
circle, while he stared frankly at
the picture and then at the pref
ty girl at the tea table. II can't
believe it," he. gasped.
"Oh, pictures are so deceiving,"
she laughed lightly. Now have
another cup of tea and forget
Patty Printemps, the star, and
talk to Patty, the girl"
In the days that followed, David
felt sure he would wake up and
find it all a dream. Chupming
with Patty Printemps! Days of
joy flew into weeks of such bliss
that could terminate only in one
thing-an engagement. He took
Patty to the big Harris home to
meet his delighted mother, and
intensely impressed Aunt Flo, and
his cup Of JOY overlooked.
1t was just the day after this
visit when David, humming little
tune. carelessly glanced over the
newspaper. suddenly sat very
erect, his eyes bullying. when he

''Come on, let's hurry" he said
energetically. ''Now listen-I'm
the only one who's going to see
her, understand? You two must

he planned to bring Patty around
to the Harris home in the eve-
ming and explain everything.
In the hospital a nurse led him
up to Miss Printemps' room,
opened a door and motioned him
to enter. A bower of flowers,
little Dempsey on a chair. then
he looked fearfully toward the
bed, two long, black braids hung
over the pillow, two tremendously
astonished. very cold, black eyes.
David fled.
Out in the corridor, he Wiped
the streaming perspiration from
his face; his knees shook. Thank
goodness, that was over. He
started Tor the stairs.
"Oh, one moment" the nurse
blushed; Its this room. I made
a mistake" And fairly pushed
him in through the opened door.
Also ablaze with flowers, but all
he saw was russell curls on a
white pillow and two clear blue
eyes smiling up at him. =

IN AVID had been sure he was
impervious to pretty girls
~ he was just recovering
from a sad experience that made
him sure he was an established
womanshater. But this girl with
the clear skin of the country,
twinkling blue eyes and saucy,
russell curls, was different. What
his nice smart roadster as long
as that ball of fluff, yelping, was
safely back in her arms?
David, having apologized pro-
fusely for nearly running over
her dog, now waited patiently for
the girl to be aware of his pres
ence. He looked her over-a
rough tweed skirt, boots a bit
muddy. TN have my car out in
q minute-will you come for a
ride. them" he asked hopefully.
She glanced up In some sur
prise, looked him over and then
smilingly shook her head.
''Then let me take you to din"

She laughed with great amuse-
ment. THANK you so much for
saving little Dempsey-goodbye."
But David refused to part that
way. Finally he worrned an invi-
tation from her to call the follow"
ing afternoon. She indicated a
nearby driveway-it led to the
house.
David expected a neat, done
over farmhouse, a beaming moth
err and lots of doughnuts, and
was rather taken aback by a love-
ly country home. No mother in
sight-and the girl very beauti-
full and grown-up in an old blue
silk dress.

CHAPTER III.

It was the theater hour, the
hour when the city flutters with
solemn excitement like a bird
fluttering in it's bath. In that
valley of light known as Broad
way motor cars and taxicabs hum
med and throbbed and circled up
to brightly-lighted foyers and were
off again, like hungry trout in
search of dusk's most glittering
flies. Electric sky-signs flashed
and shimmered in every color of
the rainbow, street crowds moved
and gathered and moved again,
lines Of traffic pulsed intermit-
tently along the side streets, and
over all hung that vague and
misty aura of light which could
crown even canyons of concrete
with wayward sense of beauty.
Kestner leaned forward in his
taxi seat, drinking it in with
hungrily unhappy eyes. They had
already explored Fifth avenue to
the lonelier reaches of the upper
city, and had swung sadly down
through the wooded siIences of
Central Park, and had wandered
by way of Seventy street
oyer to Riverside drive, and had
stopped to stare pensively up at
Grants tomb, and had swung
down Broadway again, bewildered
by the changes which had crept
over a city altering with every
altering season. And now, made
doubly melancholy by the hilarity
which beleagured them from every
side, they were making their way
back to Fifth avenue and their
helated dinner at Delmonico's.
THE HAND OF PERIL.

the cross-section of suspended
traffic which the same imperious

from an opened sluice-gate.
Then, in passing car, he caught
one fleeing glimpse of a .woman's
face. Her beauty may have seem

hundred faces he had already
passed. Yet there was a sudden
