a great drain on the nervous

Now, using the eyes great deal

Never use your eyes except in

be overemphasized. A Pickering,

We need soft, clear, steady light,
whether 1t be artificial or daylight,
in order to use our eyes steadily

In case you employ your eyes at

Winifred Scott had forgotten to

evening. Therefore she must
ring the bell of her front door to
gain admittance.
This would mean that Mrs.
Bates would let her in. The
housekeeper would not allow a
maid to sit up until this hour
waiting for the young mistress of
the house. And Winifred remem.
bered, with a sudden sense of dis
may that she had not told Mrs.
Bates that she was going to the
theater. The excitement of the
evening had driven from the girls
mind all thoughts save those con-
nected with Richard and herself.
She told her companion of her
omission when they stepped from
the elevator outside her own

made no demands upon him; his
pleasure, his comfort, his wishes
were always hers.
He had never travelled. The

ticket office trace in black pencil
across the map in the center Of
the timetable the route he and
Mrs. Grotenberg would take to
Chicago. He purchased a ward
robe trunk for himself and one
for Mrs. Grotenberg, and had
them delivered to the little cabin
In Berkeley; their shiny black
surfaces and bright brass fittings
fascinated him; he liked to touch
them, open and close them, and
play with their patented contrap-
lions and ingenious conveniences.
He was enthusiastic over the
rough grey Scotch coat Mrs. Gro

her excursion into Oakland, and
over the grey tweed hat with the
brown feather and black jet buc-
