II you're buying shoes in a store
for the first time. have your feet
measured. You may wear one size

Young women often demand the

grown, that lasts may have changed
and that their present shoes may feel
all right simply because they are old.
Wear the kind of stockings to a fit-

the new shoes. OFTEN Winter shoes
will be wider than Summer shoes

about lunch. I'll have something
downtown"
Some impulse made Martha rise to
her feet and go across the room to
him. She caught the lapels of his
coat in both hands and lifted her face
to his.
He laughed shortly.
What's the matter with you to-
day."
She felt the tears hot against her
eyelids, and then. remembering tha I

forced herself TO speak lightly.

He stopped and touched her lightly
with his lips, as though he felt II an
effective way to get rid of her. Then
without replying to her remark, he
turned on his heel and left the room.
Martin went over to the window
and looked down into the rain-swept
streets. The apartment, rather un.
usual one of nine rooms and three
baths. was on the fifth floor. Most of
the Dennisons friends had similar
apartments at high rentals. and Martha
was ordinarily proud of her home.
Today, however, it seemed like a
prison. she felt walled up in it. and
she thought of the long hours. stretch
ing ahead of her with Shudder of
distaste. She felt restless, as though
she must be doing something active,
and yet there was nothing to do. There
were women of her acqua intance who
could spend days at a time following
serial stories in magazines, or reading
novel after novel. but Martha was not
like that. She did certain amount of
rea aiding, of course. but too much of 1t
invariably bored her.

The Next Morning.

The next day was Saturday, and as
Martha entered the dining room John
was already seated AT the table, COM
pletely hidden behind a newspaper.
His grapefruit. half eaten. was before
him. and he did not speak or look
up for A full minute.
Then. as Hilda came in with the
coffee, he put down his paper. glanced
across at Martha and said. Good
morning.
Across her coffee cup Martha stared
out of the window opposite. 1t was
raining heavily. the drops daShinc
against the pane with kissing sound.
Martha sighed This morning her life
seemed a. dreary as the day. as un-
eventful as though she could see her
tombstone at the other end of life's
long way.
She tried to shake herself out of her
mood She told herself that at lea st
she had plenty of money. But 1t
wasn't money that she wanted. She
wanted more than anything else an
interest in life. She wanted to be
radiant. glowing, happy. She wanted
to be loved.
AS she reached this point in her
thoughts she looked across at her

Long-Lived Seeds.

Seeds range in vitality from some
that can live only a few DAYS 10
others that retain their power Of

But there is no truth in the wild tales
of Mummy wheat that spring up every

The bearded lady. the giant tho fat

and stupid ones are all blamed on

The fact of the matter is. you are

attention was paid 10 the transplant
ing OF glands to give persons back
their coveted youth. There Is much
fiction in all the accounts which have
been made public. but there is also
much Of real scientific truth.
The greatest i'll which has ruled
against the transplantinE of glands
il that il is too much like putting
a brand new, high powered motor into
an old car where the wheels are wob-
bly, and ready To fall off.
The glands of the body were not
always known. 1t is only within the
last few years that something was
learned about them. There are differ
ent kinds OF glands. Those which seem
responsible for size and peculiar be-
havior are the "ductless glands, "
which do not seem to have any outlet
for the fluids which they contain.
How do the fluids escape. then?"
