These infections generally begin
by the Judgment of lot of germs

burning sensation in the throat,
heat with swelling within the
nostrils, tender lump felt when
swallowing, are the usual signs
that the enemy has arrived.
A sneeze is a spasmodic effort

When taking cold" a sneeze Is

effective and the assault fails. If
it were not for our sneezes we
would have thousands Of infections

But when the sneeze fails, as
It often does, the invaders become
established on the surface of the
mucous membrane. They tend to
keep up the invasion Of the surface

The idea evidently originated

What the cold of the atmos-

Of germ activity that underlies all

Going to the telephone she
called up Western Union and die

ing him to be at her apartment
at three tomorrow afternoon. to
go for a drive and to stay for
dinner.
She was glad she had thought
to get from Richard the address
of the lodging house in which he
had q room.
That Richard Rankin should
accept Winifred's invitation for
Sunday was a foregone conclu-
sion. She had taken that for
granted.
What she had not taken TOR
granted was the sudden change in
the weather. In place Of the bril-
liant skies that had reigned during
the first days Of October, clouds
hung low and threatening.
On her way home from church
at noon, Winifred shivered, This
afternoon, she would don her heav-
lest motorcoat-the one that had
come home only yesterday. Even
SO. she would be chilly.

car to replace fathers limousine

Elected. '"Then Richard and
could have enjoyed our jaunt. Buc
Donald is so deadly economical
with other peoples money"
She repeated the statement to
Richard by way Of apology for the
open touring car in which they
drove up to Van Cortland Park
that afternoon.

cold" she remarked.
He glanced at her laughingly.
THAT is a reflection upon my new

very swell. but I attributed it to
you, not to the coat" she laughed
back. Now I observe that you

made possible by that same money
Of which spoke to you the other

did a bit Of facy diving. Some
