 I wish If possible you would read it over carefully and let me know nS soon as possible what you think of fl, for the Orthopcdic Hospital is giving q bazaar next week, and as you will read, tho plan includes Eiy- ing them a part of the jewels to dis pose of for the benefit of the bazaar.
 Mother Hamilton mt Paula Per fer the other day and thinking that she might buy som" Of them from the bazaar, told her what I was in tending 10 do iC I could get your consent. Miss rcricr was very cn. thusiastic and said sh" would like to buy two of in" bracelets and the big solitaire pearl ring.

 Sometimes an insect crawls into the ear. In such cases the actual physical danger is tess than the mental horror for the insect soon dies. A little drop of sweet oil drop ped into the car may cause the in sect to come out, but here again you should exercise caution. If an Ob- jeCt gets into the car 1t is sometimes more dangerous to try to remove it than to leave 1t alone until doctor can be consulted. No one other than q surgeon should ever attempt to remove an object from the ear by inserting an instrument.
 Another source of ear trouble Is sometimes an undue aCCrotion of ear wax. Sometimes cold weather, the entrance of cold water into the ear causes the ear wax to harden. Ear wax is q necessary secretion found in the healthy ear and is not an ab- normal condition.
 Under ordinary conditions wax does not accumulate unduly. The glands produce quantity of wax just sufficient to protect the inner car from dirt and dust. Parents who are scrupulously clean may be overzealous in the matter of scrap l ing every particle of car wax from their Children's ears, It Is easy to start an irritation in the ear that will produce an increased secretion of car wax as well as other ear trou- hles,

 Barbara came into the editorial room one stormy afternoon to find McDermott waiting for her. Come into my office, Miss Hawley," he said. His desk was covered with Christmas posters and clippings

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
By DIR. HUGH $. CUMMING Surgeon General, L. s. Public

 Some authorities estimate that at least Onr-third of all adults are part ly deaf in one CT both ears. A Cer- tain percentage of this affliction is the result of processes arising out side of the ear itself. AdcnOids that develop slowly and that enlarge ton sillar tissue above tho palate, and colds are more often causes of deaf ness than any disease of the ear it. self.
 To avoid ear trouble it is import ant that the nose he kept in q healthy condition. Few people real ize the important part played by the nose in the preservation Of good hearing
 Nearly all of our ear troubles de- vclop not in the outer ear but in the middle ear and the custodian tube which opens from if. This tube serves as a drainage canal and helps to maintain an equality of air pres sure on both sides of the ear drum. When you are in healthy cOndi- ton this pressure is kept equalized because whenever you swallow or yawn air is admitted into the eusta- chian tube, When you suffer from persistent colds or catarrh the nasal passages became cloggcd and the custodian tube frequently is block ed. When this happens the air pressure Is not capitalized and the drum Is sometimes pushed out of shape. Inflammation of the ear and other serious diseases of the ear are thus begun.
 It frequently happens also that a nasal douche is used with pressure which forces water into the custa- chian tnhn or into the middle ear When this happens. trouble Is sure to start. Authorities are generally agreed that the indiscriminatc use Of nasal washes Is unwisc,
 Another procedure which is 10 be condemned Is the dropping of oil or commercial car drops or laudanum into the ear for the purpose of re- lievlng earache. Earachc, ringing noises in the head, discharges and other disturbances of the hearing apparatus arc much too serious fol any treatment except that which you can obtain from the best specialist
 Sound medical advice on the relici Of ear troubles is not to be obtained from the advertisements Of ear drop' or from those who may sell these advertised preparations.

Lillian and MadGc Discuss tn,
 Amazing Scene in the Garden

stared at Lillian with a panlcky little feeling as she put the question to me concerning Hugh Grantlanl's $ mentality. What had she seen ot my tempestuous meeting with the man We were seeking? How had she known--my checks suddenly felt as if furnace door had been opened on them. Then lillian's cool capable hands were laid over mine, and she grippcd them tightly for a comforting comprehcnding second or two before she spoke again.
 No. I'm not clairyoyant," she said, nor yet have l been snooping, as Mother Graham so elegantly terms Katie's pet peccadillo. But this is no time for evasions or fa'ee modesty or beating about the bush, l know as well us you do that Hugh Grantland has loved you hopelessly for years. Bless me if l haven't felt sometimes like taking the Dicky- bird by his tuttering winds and set ting him flying toward Parie while l handed you over to Hugh, Now, don't mount your high horse" as l stiffened indignantly, "of course don't mean any such thing-you and the Dicky-bird are too sincerely in love with each other-for all your difficulties-for any such solution. But that's neither here nor yet there. Here are the facts I'm dealing with"
 She stopped, drew 8 deep breath and hurried on.
 When Hugh Grantland rushed into the rectory as we drew up to the curb. 1t was a cinch that he didn't go very far, perhaps outdoors there's an angle of the house just beyond that side of the veranda where we were standing. where a man could conceal himself from ob- servation, and yet hear everything that was going on.
 Suppose He Were Crazed."
 "Of course, Hugh in his norma condition of mind would not be guilty of eavesdropping. but you know by now" this significantly that he is far from normal. I was very sure that he had heard youl voice, but whether or not he had recognized 1t, puzzled me. However l reasoned that If he had heard and known 1t, he would seize the first opportunity to try to see you. I had to send you with that telegram, bu, after you had gone began to worry Suppose he were entirely cra2ed and should try to kill you--I thought of everything in the category, Sc when l heard the sedan come back I slipped out this side door intend. ing to join you and come into the house with you.

It is true. Life is made up more or less of Appointments. Very often they are Il good thing, a fine thing for HIS. But usually we do not md that out until attcrward.
 Peter Rabbit, snug and safe in a hollow log over where Paddy the Beaver and his family were cutting their supply of food for the winter, was wondering where Rcddy Fox was. It was Reddy's scent that had sent Peter scurrying to that old log, and now. because he didn't know just where Reddy was, Peter didn't dare come out. He hoped that Red dy didn't know he was over there. but Of this he held little hope for he knew that if he could smell Red dy the latter must have heard him thump q warning just before he ran for that hollow log.
 Peter knew that the Beavers had , needed his warning for he had heard them plunge into the water. He felt , proud of the way in which he had proved himself a good watchman. 1t wasn't until some time had passed that he heard the Beavers at work again. He was just getting ready 10 , join them 10 keep watch again when he overheard Paddy saying some thing about lost time all because of q false alarm, Not until then did Peter recall that Reddy Fox was not one Of those of whom Paddy and l his family were afraid. Instead oi saving those Beavers, that alarm had delayed their work and had i quite upset Paddy's temper. So Peter decided to keep out of sight. It was just as well, for presently he heard Reddy Fox and knew that Reddy was still about.
 The truth Is Reddy was as inter- ested as Peter had been in watching the Beaver family at work. He ad. mired those great cutting teeth ot Paddy's as they shipped off & half. inch limb at single bite. He admir-, ed the way in which Paddy trimmed the limbs from that tree, all but tn, small ones at the top, and he won dered what Paddy would do wtl that long trunk. But he didn't hay, 10 wonder long.

The truth is. ReIdy was as interest ed as Peter had been in watching
 the Beaver family work

Mrs. Paddy and the other young Beaver start off, each with a log. He wanted to see what they would do with those logs. He wanted to know if they were to go down to the old pond and the food pile there, or if a new food pile was to be started in this pond in the deep water near the dam. There were several things he wanted 10 know, and he didn't dare go. Instead of being thankful that he had discov- cred Reddy Fox in time Peter was so disappointed that he quite for got he had anything to be thank full for. Disappointed folk are apt 10 be just that way.
