BEATRTCE SUMMERS SCENARIO
 SENT TO SALLY ATHERTON

From now on, my dear, you may read my scenario, although 1t is Mrs. Selwin's life story.
 When this man and woman found that they were growing old. natural ly they went about to fight this awful foe in their own way.
 The woman, poor thing. trying to preserve her youth, begins to haunt the beauty parlors.
 She even has her hair. which was beginning to show strands of gray, touched up. She spends more money thau conscience on new dresses that are too youthful to be becoming, for she has been seen with what avidity her husbands eyes rest on younger women.
 She has not yet learned that by calling attention to ones lack of youth, by wearing that which is only the complement of youth, she de- feats the very rsults she wishes to attain.
 So engrossed is she in trying to cheat time that for a month or so she does not realize that she is be- ing left more and more alone-that her prettiest gowns and up-to-the minute hats do not evoke quiver of the eyelid, let alone the brighten Ing of the eye of her lord and mas ter.

Do you think you will be able 10 spare me for the trip to New York tomorrow to meet Lillian, or would you prefer me to stay here with you? l fancy Edith would be glad to escort Marion in, if you need me here"
 The ruse succeeded wonderfully, I bit my lips to hide a smile as my mother-inlaw raised herself in bed and demanded truculently:
 What do you fancy I am, a baby in swaddling clothes, or a person at deaths door? If it wasn't for that fool nurse. I'd be walking around downstairs this minute, instead of being put to bed like a youngster. I'll he able to spare you all right. Don't make any mistake about that, and l want you to stay long enough in New York with Mrs. Underwood, so that you can tell her about the performance we went through this morning. She has a little sense left, if you haven't. Younl see she'll ad- wise you to listen 10 everything I have to say right away. instead of shutting me up like clam"
 She stopped only because she was out of breath, and l lodged her adroitly worded effort to change my mind. T shall tell her every thing l can remember" I promised and reflected whimscally. that when I had unburdened not only Mother Graham's problem but my own con- corning Hugh Grantland, my friend would feel that she had exchanged the frying pan of professional prob lems for the hot fire of personal ones

Raggcdy Ann tied the rope which held the witch to the tail of the wooden hobby horse and the hobby horse pulled the witch to the castle of the giants. Raggedy Andy and Raggedy Ann and mama, daddy and Jimmy Giant walked behind and gave the witch a push when ever she pulled back too hard.
 "I have Selfish Samuel locked h a large tfunk in the castle" Rag gedy Andy said.

Then We shall see how We wish 0 punish the mean old witch and Selfish Samuel"
 So when they all came to the castle of the giants, Raggcdy Andy said, Now I will use some of the magic powder on the giants so that they will grow large again" And he got out the little box Mir. Fixit had loaned to him.
 Wait minute, Raggedy Andy." RaGgedy Ann said. How do you know that the magic powder will mak" tho giants large again"
 Hmm" Raggedy Andy replied. "of course, really do not know for sure! l just thought 1t would"
 Then you mustn't use it on the nico g'auts until you know for sure. Haggedy Andy" Raggedy Ann said.
 "May5e it would be d good plan to try il on the mean old witch." Raggedy Andy said. She and Sel- fish Samuel have caused all the trouble, so it Is only fair that we ny the magic powder upon the witch,"
 The witch did not like this at all. but everyone said that it was only fair, so Raggedy Andy puffed some Of the magic powder upon the mean old Witch.
 The witch howled very loud, but it did not hurt her even a speck. but she organ 10 shrink and shrink until she wag no larcCt than Rpu gcdy Ann

-FABLEs ON HEALTH HOW THE BODY EATS

Every man, woman and child should have, strong muscles, firm bones, solid teeth, steady nerves and good red blood, Mrs. Mann learned in her first lesson on foods for health.
 Fortunately nature brings most children into the world with the power to digest foods, with veins and arteries to carry this food to parts of the body, after it is digested.
 And the various parts of the body have the power to select the foods needed. Teeth select calcium, mus

 Anyway" the mama giant said, Tt was quite unhandy being a giant, l guess I would much rather be just as large as ] am now,,"
 "So would r." the daddy giant said, For when I was so large, I always scuffed my stockings on the forest trees"
 And the giant boy said he would much rather be small too.
 "Only, we cannot live in our great big castle" the mama giant said. Cause, how can We reach up 10 open the doors? Or how can I cook on the great stove?"
 Of course. then. there was only one thing 10 do, and RaggeIy Andy thought of it right away.

 And, when they looked in the trunk, they found that Selfish sam uel had shrunk too So Raggedy Andy took him and the witch to the front door and said, Now you two mean old creatures run home, and if you dare 10 return to bother the giants. will puff some more magi. cal powder upon you and you will shrink 10 nothing" And you can just bet, the two mean creatures did not have to be told twice.

 The tugs went ahead. Girls waved handkerchiefs and hats.
 The ship moved out into the roll ing river. The tug snorted power fully on her way. Heavy headed men dragged wearily at wet haws- CTS, coiling them to dry on the fore hatch. And Captain Stevens, proud as a peacock in his new command, paced his poopdeck and secretly watched the blue eyes without suspicion of the existence of the black.

Mother Graham Becomes Herself
 Again and Talks

The nurse bending over Mother Graham shot me a quick, apprais- Ing glance at my question, then nodded her head satished}y.
 There's nothing to do now, cN- cept watch her" she murmured in the lowest .oF tones turning her face away from the halr-unconsclous womGH on the couch. Shell open her eyes in a minute, and she'd bet Ter not see mo the first thing. Keep her quiet here a half hour at least, before you move her, I'll come back before then"
 She slipped ort Of the room, and realized that she comprehendcd unresentngly Mother Graham's dis like of her, and flushed shame facedly at my own pique against her. My only consolation was the reflection that I had concealed it. Then Mother Graham's cyelids fut- tered open, and l bent over her apXiously.
 "I -- must have faintcd," she said, her eyes taking in the room where she lay, Oh" struggling up on one elbow. there wasn't any eommotion, was there? Leila wasn't disturbed" ?"
 No, indeed" I replied soothing ly, putting her back against the pillows. "No one is disturbed at all, except possibly Katie" I smiled at the girl who stood. wide-eyed and terrified, at the head of the couch.
 "How Can You Be Surc?"
 The corners Of my mother-in- laws mouth twitched weakly, for Katie's inevitable excitement in times of stress is a never failing source of amusement In our fam- fly. The little gleam of mirth glad dened me, for 1t gave me the prom ise that her swoon had not affected her as seriously as the one of a few days before. It proved a promise fulfilled later, for by the time the nurse returned. my mother-in-law was quite herself again. AS was characteristic, she rebeled against the nurses dictum of the rest of the day in bed.
 I held her to the regime religious ", however. After we had assisted her to her room, and she and I were alone. she began falteringly her explanation of the tramp. Steve" and his supposed relation ship to her.

 'Let-fall yer lower-topsls Sheet homc!" roared the mate. A still younger second mate leaped among the soreheaded sailors, full of splendid and young manhood, full of pride. too; for his promotion had been as unexpected as that of mate and master.
 CHAPTER VI
 The StOWaway
 Drake lay snug on a heap Of can vas in the sail locker. Right op- poSite was the halfdeck. The eve ming was calm and serene. The ship made no more fuss than a musical tinkling of running seas and cheery chirrup and rattle of gear aloft. 1t was the dogwatch, when sailors re- lax; but the first watches of the Orontes had not been set yet; men were too sore to do anything but sprawl and curse, waiting for the mates to choose their gangs.
 Me son, when you've been 10 sea as long as l have. you can smoke" a bold, deeply Drowned lad Of eighteen was saying to an awe struck grecnhorn who had dared to produce cigarct. Drake enjoyed that. He remembered hearing the same thing on his first voyage years ago. Those were good old stock maxims of the halfdeck that ma ture apprentice of eighteen was laying down. Get the mast-color off your legs, m'lad; grow hair on your chest: learn to roar like Bar ney's Bull and spit solid; then youll be by way Of making a sailor, If l catch you blowing the weed before that, I'll have to put the strop to you. Savvee?"
 The lad came out on deck 10 pom der over that warning. Drake was going to step out of his refuge. The mere sight of a smoking pipe set him craving. He had not missed his briar pipe before in the excitement of the day; but now, he felt he would dare all for just one pipeful of strong plug. He cautiously opened the door. He knew the boy would know nothing about shipboard ways yet; would see nothing queer about sailor emerging from the sail locker. With his hand on the handle ring he thrust out his head; he drew 1t back so swiftly that he al- most cracked it upon the steel jamb. The two mates were at the poop rail right above his head.
 If we carried lady passengers all the time, there would be no get fling q berth in sail" said MT. Adams. "The steward done himself proud tonight Did you try the kid ncy stew, sir?"
 Drake suddenly felt hungry. It was not a pipe he craved. but kid noy stew. He was sure now.

 "Is Miss Mary coming home with us, too?" pursued MT. Adams. He did not suspect that he had such q kecnly eager audience just out or sight. Hope she is Shes jolly sort.
