s.SHALL we confer?" asked Billy
~ grimly Ii they reached the
second floor.
"Oh. what's the user" cried Con-
stance with a tragic gesture. I'D
fly out of the window, IL I could! But
we're in for 1t. We might have
known something awful would hap
pen. We ought to have been firm
and refused to have a party. But
what a we do? He's gone and in

simply got to receive them. Hustle

Billy. and don't spend half an hour

upstairs again for further sartorial
attentions. 1t was long past seven

the main floor. She was Just in time
to see the front door close on a
couple in evening dress. They were
going out.
Constance paused In the hall at the
foot of the staircase. She was a ra-
dtant figure. but she did not feel ra-
diant. She felt that the elevator was
dropping again.
A gurgling noise close beside her
caused her to turn sharply, and she
beheld a young mar with a handker.

lent paroxysm of coughing. It was
Tommy Treadwell.
"Hel-hello, C-Connie," he gasped.

He strangled again.
Why, Tom, what in the world is
the matter?" demanded Constance in
genuine alarm.
"Ex-excuse me. l."
Once more a spasm took charge of
him. and Constance began to pound
him energeticaily on the back. After
a minute. Tommy Treadwell regained
a MEASURE Of control and wiped his
streaming eyes.
Better now?" asked Constance
anxiously.
'Yes-thanks. Sorry to be such a
nuisance. but"
You shouldn't have thought of
coming out with such a cold she
chided.
Cold? I haven't got a cold"
Then whatever is the matter?"
Tommy pointed toward the library
and whispered hoarsely:
Been sprayed
Sprayed"
"Uh-huh. Nose. throat, tonsils-the
whole works"
Constance stared at him in unbe-
lief.

over the top in raising or exceeding

as an overseas chest for relief and
reconstruction work among the Jew
1sh communities of Eastern Europe.
The banner States of the South,

in from other parts of the country of
successful local drives, he said.

campaign for $150000 a few weeks
ago, is reported with more than two
thirds of that amount raised, and Salt

breaking drive last Spring and other

an official during the Christmas rush
