The

A NEW ROMANCE
CHAPTER LIZ

The fathers declaration was al
most defiant. He was not society
man. and found it hard to hide the
revulsion of feeling caused by Bea-
trice Lang's words.
He, Samuel Grant. had mentally
made an ass of himself, he reflected
angrily. He had let his thought
wander SO far as to imagine that
perhaps his girl might love and ac-
cept a man with whom he believed
she would be safe. And all at once
the mother OF that man had referred
to her sons love affair with an
other girl.
The old-fashioned father felt as If
he had been guilty Of a lack Of gal
lantry to his daughter. He would
show this woman that her son was
not the only man In the world
would make her understand that
Ruth would not accept him even If
he offered himself.

girl. I know" with a little laugh,
that my son-used as he is to women
of the world, and devoted as he is
to a stunning society girl-admires
your Ruth. He has admitted as
much to me. He thinks her very
pleasing
"Pleasing!" The word added fuel to
the paternal resentment.
He Speaks BIuntly
"Ife hardly knows Ruth" the man
retorted. But men who do know
her-men like the pastor OF our
church, and Nat Smith-and others
who have watched her from baby
hood, as you might say, would do
anything to make her happy. They
are devoted to her.. They think that
she is all that any girl could be. Yes
she has many admirers"

DETECTING A DRAWN CARD

Previously separate a pack of cards
into two parts, placing all the red
cards in one pile and all the black
cards in the other.
Conceal one of these packs in your

JOHN-A-DREAMS

DREAM BATH

DNhShUh IA -
will tell you today what It means
to dream of baths and bathing. At
first blush. such dreams seem trivial.
But they are not They foreteil much
and foretell it with certainty.
You dream, then, that You are cool
ing your limbs in delicious bath,
somewhere in the open, not swim
ming, mind you, but just bathing. =.
Untrarnmeled by clothing, I'M
trammeled by fear.
The splash of the water the only
sound near,
And the surface unruffled. and
limpid and clear
and you may know that solace will
come to all your cares, satisfaction
to your wishes, an answer to all your
prayers. If you look downward and
see your own reflection in the water,
you will soon be attired in fine raj
ment and there will be plenty for you
wherever you may turn. If you gain
Impressions similar to these while in
your own home, or in a tub or pool
in a place you know well, domestic
happiness of the most serene kind
will be your lot.
If you find the bath too cold &.
She shrank in fear, who was so bold.
His touch was firm and hard and
cold
you will soon discover that the man
of whom you thought over-much was
not worthy of your love and that his
designs were selfish and, perhaps
even despcable. If you find the bath
tepid, particularly if the sensation is
one of unpleasant disappointment.
you must be prepared for annoyances
which, while of a minor sort, will
make you miserable for while.
If you undress for a bath without
going into the water, you are about
to take an ill-advised. rash step
which you may deeply regret and L
would warn you to guard your &C
tons carefully for the next fortnight.
To merely see bath, is a sign OF
unfulfilled wishes, of deep longings.
To be bathing with one other,
whether in a tub, pool, river or surf,
is hint of clandestine meetings to
come, but to be in bathing with many
characters.
If the water wherein you battle is
muddy, you have bad deed or at
least. "a bad thought, on your con-
science. If the water has a red or
yellow tinge. guard well against
danger from fire, but il the hue is
leep blue or green, you will be
showered with honors and distinc-
ton. To be compelled to battle is
an omen of prison sentence. i'm
posed either upon you or upon some
one whose fate is near to your heart
To battle and feel as though the
water was thick and sluggish, means
that some one will make unreason-
able demands upon you and you Will
struggle against the imposition. III
You manage to leave the bath after
a short spell, you will win out; II
you remain for some length OF time
you will be powerless to resist the
pressure.

CITY SWEPT BY
INFLUENZA WAVE
Quick Changes of Weather
Blamed for Colds.

With approximately 10000 cases of
respiratory diseases reported to the
city board of health, the worst wave
Of influenza, tonsilitis, colds and
other respiratory troubles in several
years is sweeping over the city. DR..
Herman G. Morgan, secretary Of the
board, said today.
AS yet the peak has not been
reached, according to DR.. Morgan. 1t
is expected that the number of cases
will increase for several weeks.
No unusual cause is given by DR..
Morgan for the large number Of cases.
''They probably are due" he said, ''to
the quick changes of weather and
the damp, rainy days of last week.
"It is not dangerous, but the wave
will not be broken until persons who
have contracted the infection decide
to go to bed and take care of them
selves until they are well. 1t cannot
be checked any other way"
