METUCHEN, Sept. 14:-The sew

During the period of time that the

have been expended in preparing the

which has beef used by the propo-.

and Majorie were so eager for the
event. Tactfully presented to
Mrs. Jones, that Manufactured
lady's approval was ultimately won;
and although consistently main
tanning an attitude of unwilling
consent, everyone knew she was
secretly pleased. Constance pro-
posed that she herself should
move into her mothers room, so
that Philip and Majorie might
have the one the sisters shared.
Philip could pay Mrs. Jones
fifty dollars a month for their
lodging and board. The scheme
had the double advantage of
providing a welcome addition to
the mothers income and of keep
ing the family together. When
Philip discussed their marriage
with Marjorie he had always
pictured little flat somewhere,
in which they could begin house
keeping together, furnished with
only the bare necessities at first,
adding thereto from year to
year. But outweighting all other
considerations was his desire to
be married as soon as possible,
and he therefore embraced Con-
stances proposal. Mrs. Jones
positively refused to consider any
earlier date than June, and with
this Philip had to content him.
self.
The early months of spring
were tediously long. He found
his work in the insurance office
combining, and excessively firing
after an active life on the
ranch. He had never known any
other form of existence than one
of daily exercise and physical ex.
ertion. Even in college he had
had his football. His duties now
were entirely clerical, and al
though he had thrown himself
into them with enthusiasm, anx.
ious to have the devotion and
conscientiousness early recognized,
he found them far more irksome
than he anticipated. Every evening
he spent with Marjorie in the
Jones crowded front parlor, but
as this room was Mrs. Grotenberg's
sleeping apartment it was neces-
sary for him to leave at an
early hour. Marjorie would walk
with him to the corner, and in
The Washington times., 1923-07-11

for three or four days. Philips
associates enjoyed gambling in
any form, but he usually watched
them matching nickels or rolling
dice; his mind was upon his ap-
preaching wedding and he pre-
ferred to save his money. But
these were congenia1 friends, and
! he enjoyed their company.
April came IN wet and cold;
the rain hung on until late in
May. Then abruptly the sun
flooded the streets, the sky turned
clear and blue, a lazy warmth en-
veloped the city, and Philip awoke
one day to realize his wedding
was less than three weeks away
The days commenced to fly at
last.
I'VE don't want nobody just
family" announced Mrs. Jones
in discussing plans for the affair.
IT can sit fifteen in the dinin'
room but no more! There's five
of us and four of his, and the
minister, n I've got to ask Mrs.
Phipps and her daughter, Lizzie,
she's helped out so nice with the
SEWN and all. Then there's your
fathers brother, Sim, who'll most
likely send somethin' handsome.
There's room for two more
and I guess Margie'll want Vir-
GINA Parsons. S there anyone
special you'd like to ask, PHILIP"
He hazarded Wilbur Lansing
and Mrs. Jones snapped her jaws
shut with finality.
Every well. That's fifteen an
not another SOUL"
But as the days shortened, 1t
became evident that the Judge,
with Philips mother and sister
could not come down from Vaca-
Vile. The old man had had a
sharp attack of sciatica. and was
in great pain and in bed; Mrs.
Baldwin could not leave him, and
Lucy did not want to come.
Philips brother, Harry, however,
arrived two days before the
eventful date and brought check
for 500 from Philips parents
with their wish it should be used
for his honeymoon expenses.
There was a great deal of talk
between the young couple as to
where they should go. Philip had
secured the promise of a weeks
vacation to the Russian river,
where there would be swimming,
boating and excellent fishing, but
Mrs. Jones vetoed this plan, de-
claring Del Monte to be the only
logical and proper place for a
bride.
my-Dear-Phil" she al
ways addressed him so, when she
The Washington times., 1923-07-11

wished to impress him-"there's
the clothes the child's got. It's
only natural baby-girl should want
to show 'em off. She's never been
to Del Monte, and it is not likely
she'll get the chance again for a
long time. Brides and grooms
always go to Del Monte"
Marjorie agreed with her mother
and Phil gave way, although he
had no dress suit, and feared he
would feel i'll at ease and con-
spicious at this fashionable resort.
The night before the wedding
Wilbur Lansing arranged bache-
lor's dinner for Philip. Jimmy
Spears, Bert Cadogan, Harry Bald
win and himself played hosts.
They dined festively at Zinkand's,
and Philip tasted champaign for
the first time in his life. There
was a musical extravaganza, at
the Baldwin theater which they
found amusing, and upon it's ter
mination they trooped across the
street to the Louvre, and sat at
one of the round tables, drinking
a great deal of beer. Jimmy
Spears became intoxicated and i'll,
and Lansing and Harry Baldwin
grew EXCEPTIONALLY boisterous.
Philip had observed on one Of two
other occasions that the@effect of
liquor upon his brother was to
make him quarrelsome. Harry
had seen much less of the city life
than Philip and the excitement of
the brilliant cafe, the lights and
music, together with the beer,
proved too much for his rustic
nature. An admonition from the
ober-kellner relative to unneces-
sary noise, provided the spark to
Harry's ready anger. A flash Of
fists followed, a table was over
turned, considerable glassware
was broken, and the party was
elected vigorously from the place.
His Wedding Morn. ;
Philip awoke on his wedding
morning with a violent headache.
Lansing could not be aroused, so
his roommate dressed himself
painfully. and sought his brother
at his hotel. Harry was too i'll to
lift his head from his pillow, so
Phillip faced the possibility Of
having neither relative nor friend
beside him when he was being
married. The wedding was to be
at noon; already it was after nine.
He decided Harry's condition to
be hopeless, and in despair re-
turned home, to find Lansing
making an effort to dress. His
friend declared that after a couple
of "bracers" he would be able to

disease simply because Of our neg.
lect' which does not suggest great
sincerity in our protestations of
regard for the little ones.
All of the diseases in question
are conveyed from one child to
another through the secretions of
the nose and throat. Since in
their early stages they may act
like colds, it is easy to see the
advisability of isolating all SUP
posed colds until their true ma.
ture is certain.
They may all be considered as
contagious SO long as the child
is ill or subject to active secre.
ton.
1t was once thought by every.
body that it was we'll for young
children to have all these dis.
eases. This notion still persists
on the part of benighted minor.
lty. A child should be aided in
every possible way to escape these
infections.
The time elapsing between ex.
posture and the appearance of earIv
symptoms is called the period of
incubation. In measles this aver.
ages twelve days; in scarlet fever.
two to six days; in whooping

In chicken pox, about twelve days;
in mumps, no definite time.
Since SO much depends upon iso.
lation. it is well to lay down safe
rules regarding the length of time
that little patients suffering from
these highly communicable infec.
tons should be kept apart from
their fellows. In measles, two
weeks; in scarlet fever, thirty davs.
In whooping cough, two months:
In chicken pox, two weeks; in

would whisper their final good

Philip liked the men at the
office. Wakely, the cashier, was
a tired-looking man who chewed
tobacco and constantly expec-
torated. Mr.. Burrows, the office
manager, had round jowl,
bulging neck, and a face so fat
that when he laughed his eyes
were no more than two Sits in
his jovial face. There were
several other young fellows be.
sides himself and Wilbur Lansing.
