was a hopeless cripIe.
 My brother and l are twins" she said. ''I am about an hour older, l have been told, and everybody was delighted when I was born, because l was what you would call "a splen- did baby" John - we were named Joan and John by my mother is a cripple. He lives the year around in his camp in the Adirondacks."
 Yes" interrupted Jerry. "I have heard about your million dollar camp up there, but I had no idea that it was home for your broth CT"
 My mother was very sensitive about my brothers infirmities and she started to build the camp just after he was born. She spared noth- ing that money could buy to make it a most luxurious home for her son. to whom she had imparted the same sensitiveness abut himself that she had had about him. He never wants to see anyone, especially woman"
 "I have tried many times to make him come out into the world, and l have always spent two months of every year with him. Really I have seen many people who were worse cripples than he who seemed un- consciousness that they were ob- jects of pity and were very happy.
 John has a wonderful mind, and of course he has had the hest tutors and companions that money could buy for him, but they have all been men with the exception of his old nurse, who adores him. Besides she and myself not another woman has ever been at the camp. He has had all sorts of athletic training and with the exception of one leg; which is shorter than the other and a wither- ed arm, he is perhaps the most splendid looking boy l have ever seen."

Satin Day Frock

To allow wardrobe to grow dingy, day by day, during the long summer months is obviously the very height of folly. Wise women prevent this calamity by adding. from time to time, fresh new frocks which will not only end the season, but will serve tp begin another.
 Sketched today is an unusually smart street frock-an ideal model to wear for days shopping in tow. The material is soft, crepe- back satin, very light in weight and delightfully."- supple. This latter quality is important, as the skirt Is wide circular model, necessitating an exceptionally soft fabric.
 When trimming occurs on frock of this character, it should be simple and slightly tailored in ap- pearance. In this instance the orna- ment consists of narrow bands of the same material as the dress, but used on the reverse side for a note of contrast.
 The F-shaped neck-line, and long. tight sleeves, are finished with a narrow collar and cuffs of green and rose embroidery.
 The waist-line is indicated by two bands of the material, ending in bows in front.

 I did not wait for Dicks answer to my query as to why l should have told him of my projected new work with Philip Veritzen. but went on steadily with an indictment the words of which had been close to my lips for many weary months I almost wrote years"
 Was there any good reason for telling you?" l reiterated. If I had mentioned it, would would have so ridiculed the idea that I never should have had courage to go on with it. Ever since we were mar ried you have implied, if you have not said outright, that any attempt Of mine to earn money would be joke. You sneered at my talks to those clubwomen; you objected to my year of teaching at Bayyiew; you nearly laughed in my face when I suggested doing something few weeks ago. asking me if l meant to start beauty parlor. You cap the climax by sulking because l do not Ldht d Subiliildltu OlllCE Elll D lpb in your office, and then you are astonished because l do not confide in you. No, no, Dicky, I decided some time ago that things could not go on as they were. l was fast be- coming a nonentity. From now on I must shape my own life-work- without considering your wishes. shall give you just the measure of confidence which you give me, not a jot more. As for Junior, Katherine first year of my contract with MT. Veritzen."
 I stopped. literally for want of breath, and he laughed, unpleasant ly.
 Why put in the word 'work'?" he asked. "Why not simply say what you mean, that from now on you intend to shape your life with out considering me? Well, old dear, you have my blessing. Go as far as you like, only remember Veritzen's reputation. Working with him is a good deal like experimenting with dynamite"
 He turned away abruptly, and Lil- Han snapped the patent tension of the moment with one of her ab- surdities. She sprang forward, her arm stretched upward and her eyes rolling in aparent fine frenzy.
 T pr-romise you. Richard Gra- ham, that Madge never shall for-r- get she is your wife and the moth- err of your che-e-ild!" she dis claimed melodramatically but Dicks answering laugh was dis ttnctly forced.

of you,' he said with wry grin, as he took his hat and coat and made a nasty departure.
 Don't wait dinner for me-" he threw back over his shoulder. q shall be terribly busy at the office and will get a snack when I can"
 Did you get that delicious mar tyr note in his voice?" Lillian de- manded. laughing, as the closing of the street door heralded his exit from the building. He wants you to understand that while you are an ticipating fame, fortune and excite ment, he is facing worry and extra labor because of your refusal to help out in the office"
 Perhaps" l began worriedly, but Lillian crossed quickly to my side, and gripping me by the shoulders, looked eteadily, grimly into my eyes, with no hint of the mirth which just had filled her own.
 If you dare let that Puritan con- science of yours out of its kennel" she threatened, I'm 'offen you for life. You little idiot! Don't you know that Dicky will be bursting with pride about this when he stops to think what it really means? AL ready, before he left, I could see him readjusting his perspective. But of course, he'll be careful about in- c asing you hat size by telling you all he's thinking"
 T don't believe some sof his thoughts just now would inflata my egotism to any appreciable extent" l retorted.
 A gleam of her irrepressible mis- chief leaped up in her eyes.
 I'm not so sure about that she said. Depend up it that just now all the Dick-bird's feathers are fluttering over just one thing. I'll wager he'd give a good deal now not to have uttered one particular speech. He never meant to refer to Phil VeritZei as the handsomest and most fascinating man in town, and then ask you to remember his repu- tation. He's versed enough in femi- nine psychology to know that is the surest way to arouse any specula- tive vanity you may possess. But as for me, I'm dee-lighted with the way things have turned out, and I depend on you to keep the game in- teresting.
 ''The Dicky- birds had a jolt he won't forget for some time. From now on, old dear, if you play your cards right, your time of worrying over Dicky has ceased, and his time of trying to keep pace with you has begun"

Jimmy's eye twinkled. "Just wish ing that one of these fellows would open just long enough for me to scoop him out" said he.
 Reddy looked all about curiously What fellows?" he demanded. "I don't see anything that could open around here"
 Jimmy put a paw on one of the rough pieces of the queer looking rock. "One of these" said he,
 That's nothing but piece of rock" said Reddy
 Jimmy's eyes twinkled more than ever Guess again" said he. This isn't a rock. It's an oyster"
 What's an oyster?" grunted Red dy.
 An oyster" replied Jimmy, lis an appetizer. You eat one and it gives you an appetite"
 "Huh!' sniffed Reddy. q don't have to eat any oysters to give me an appetite. But how do you eat a thing like that?" a
 "You don't the way 1t is, replied Jimmy "any more than you eat a clam with the shells closed. This fellow is just like a clam and has two halves to its shell. If you are lucky enough to find one open and can scoop the oyster out before it can close the shell. you've got some thing better than clam. But there isn't a chance when the oysters are shup up the way these are. You see. all these oysters became attached to this stone when they were tiny and they've grown up together in bunch. They do that sometimes. l supose that storm washed them up here. It's tantalizing. That's what il Is, tantalizing.
 Reddy poked the oysters over. He certainly couldn't imagine anybody in opening those shells. 'I suppose" said he, that those oysters are just about as safe as anybody could be. I don't suppose that they have any enemies that they need fear at all. Look at that queer thing down there In the water, Jimmy"
 Jimmy looked Just beyond, and where they could look right down Into it. was pool of water. On tho bottom lay two or three oysters. A big starfish was close 10 one of these oysters. The starfish was the queer thing Rcddy had seen.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DR. HUGH s. CUMMING Surgeon General, United States
 Public Health Service

There are so many things that may bring on asthma, and the dis ease attacks in so many ways, that 1t cannot be classed as a definite condition resulting from a definite cause.
 A larges proportion of the cases of asthma is no doubt brought. on by over-sensitiveness 10 certain proteins. Thus, individuals who have asthma when they are near horses are sen sitive to a protein discharged from the horse.
 SenSitiyeneSS
 People may be sensitive to pro teins from many other sources emanations from cats and dogs, very often from feathers. There are cer- tain food proteins which cause asth- ma when they are eaten. The more ocmmon ones are rye, corn, wheat rice, potatoes, eggs, milk, fish, beef and chicken.
 A few asthmatics are sensitive to fruits, such as strawberries, apples and peaches. Others are sensitive to pollens, particularly that of timothy and rag-weed; still others to bac- terial proteins. Some cases of asth- ma are secondary manifestations Of another disease.
 Mental Excitement
 In some cases, attacks Of asthma begin without warning; in others there is a feeling of discomfort and restlessness. Great mental excite ment sometimes is the warning of an approaching attack. Loss ot ap- petite may be a symptom.
 Usually the attack begins at night and. if chronic, at a certain hour. Mild attacks of bronchial asthma may be difficult to distinguish from acute bronchsis. Despite the severity and suffering of asthmatic a. acks. the disease is not generally believed to shorten life.
 As to the cure, or relief. II must be remembered that of tho many causes of asthma, all that Is neces- sary is to find which one is causing yours. The amount of dust in the at has nothing or little 10 do with your attack; it is the kind of dust that counts. E
 Examination by physician may disclose the fact that all you need to do is cut certain weeds around your house, or remove certain plants. or possibly avoid feather pillows.

heavy storm day or two before and many things had been washed up an the beach. Reddy discovered that Jimmy Skunk was before him. Jimmy was poking about something black at the waters edge and Reddy went over to see what it was. He looked at 1t curlously. It appeared to him to be nothing but a queer rock. Part of it was smooth and attached 10 this, and as he supposed, a part of 1t, were a number of queer pro- jections. Some were small and some were nearly as bie as a mans hand. They were very rough.

CONDITION - A waistline that measures too many inches.
 DIAGNOSIS-You should eat less and exercise more. Flesh around the waistline should be fought vigorous ly, since that is where superf1uous tissue first appears.
 TREATMENT - Stretching will convince the growing waistline of the error of it's ways. Stand erect with heels together, hands on hips. Pivot the upper part of the body as above, describing a circle with the shoulders. Do this only few times at first being careful not to strain the unaccustomed muscles. Another exercise: bend from the waist, with out moving the legs, as far as you can from one side to another.
