temperamental objections he might stage.
 But I pretended not to hear her and looked around for a place to lay the roses.
 That tablet" l said, indicating the largest one in the room. and Lillian promptly removed every thing from it, while Katherine dashed to the linen closet returning with a heavy sheet which she laid folded over the polished surface. Then l put my lovely, fragrant burden down and began to separate the blossoms.
 These pink ones for Mary's rose room, of course" l said, lifting cluster up for inspection.
 "Perfect!' Katherine breathed, and Lillian echoed her verdict.
 If Phil Veritzen has taken sample of those hangings and gone shopping he couldn't have match ed the tint of that room any bet ter" she added with a mischievous grin, but I ignored both words and grimace.
 This other shade of pink for you, Kathie," l said affectionately to my little kinswoman, whose pre- ferences in tints l know as well as my own.
 She took the flowers in her arms as tenderly as if they had been an ailing child confided to her care, and Lillian made the comment which had sprung into my own mind.
 I'd like a photograph of you with those" she said, then turned to me with the light in her eyes which Dicky always calls her interior decorating look"
 Those creamy yellow ones and the deeper-toned ones of the same color were made for this room," she said.
 T know it." I returned, just as , these crimson ones must go only to you"
 You dear" she said, and I knew she was remembering the wonder full crimson-and-c cream living room which had been hers in the old fashioned city house in which she had lived when I first knew her, and which had never been without red roses, even if it were but one single perfect blossom.
 But" Katherine protested, you have left nothing for your own room"

 I laughed. "You are a coward, aren't you?" I said. Your mind is more deformed that your body and I really think your soul is warped" '"
 This had the desired effect. John Meredith, I expect for the first time in his life, forgot that he was crip- pie. He suddenly arose to his feet in blind rage and limped across the room and punched the bell. Then he turned his back on me. The man answered his ring and told him that Miss Meredith had gone out.
 What do you know about your sister," l asked.
 He looked at me, startled.
 "Why-why-why," he stammer- ed. T think she is one Of the pret- tiest girls I ever saw and probably one of the most fortunate beings on earth. She can have her every wish"
 DO you think so?" I asked.
 What do you mean?" he queried.
 What if I should tell you that your sister has never been very hap py?"
 Again he spoke in a softer voice.
 What do you mean by that?"
 q mean that Joan has been left entirely to strangers. She never has had love. which, of course, is the one thing she has wanted. You should feel great sympathy for her because this is the one thing you have always wanted"
 How do you know that?" he asked.
 Because you have deliberately avoided all human contact, except that which you have bought and paid for. Because you have thought only of yourself and left your sister to outsiders
 q thought she was happy" he apologized.
 You had no business to think so. Do you know that a girl in her po- sition is one of the most unfor- tunate in the world? ?'
 He smiled derisively.
 That's absolutely true. A girl that has so much money that she has everything done for her, only has to do what you, yourself, have been doing-think of herself. Joan has become bored to death with everybody and everything, until a fei months ago, when she fell in love with a dancing man, one who haunted public dance halls"

one seemed to be keeping guard outside. Why" demanded Reddy. did you say that Mir. Stickleback is the owner of that nest? Isn't it just as much Mrs. Stickleback's as his?"
 No" declared Graywing, it is his. It is all his. He built it, every bit of it. Mrs. Stickleback didn't have anything to do about it. and what is more, she won't have any, thing to do about it after she has laid her eggs there. That is MT. Stickleback's nest, and he is mighty proud of it. When you hear any body giving all the credit for bring ing up family to the mother of the family, just you tell them about Pa Stickleback,"
 What is he called Stickleback for?" inquired Reddy.
 Look at him." retorted Gray wing. Look at his back! How would you like to bite down right on that back of his?"
 Redy loked more closely than he had looked before. Right in the middle of his back two spines that looked sharp pointed and as if they might hurt, stood upright. Just in front Of the back fin was a third, shorter and smaller "Oh!" said Reddy when he saw these. T guess I know now why he is called Stickleback. l guess that any bigger fish that tried to swallow him would find him rather uncomfort- able. Do you mean to tell me that he really built that nest all himself? What makes it stick together?"
 Certainly, he built it all him self" replied Graywing. Do you think I would have told you so if it wasn't so? He has some kind of sticky stuff which he uses to bind those bits of grass, weed and other green stuff together. I've seen a good many nests of Stickleback' s. Sometimes they have one doorway, and sometimes they have two. ] think this one has two.'
 Graywing walked around where he could look across to the back. Then he returned to where Reddy was standing. Yes" said he, this one has two doors. If you want to see a good father, and learn some- thing about fathering, you come over here every day for a few days and watch Pa Suckleback.

Checked and plain fabrics are prominent in the fall sports mode. The two-piece suit intended for country wear is frequently in these materials, as well as a more novel costume consisting of a plaid skirt and a plain jacket of kasha or vel veteen. Or the over blouse may be of a patterned woolen in combina- ton with a. plain skirt-a fashion much favored by Channel.
 Smarter than either of these yer- sons is the combination of a plain and figured material in the same costume. The sketch today shows tailleur of this type = a smart two-piece affair of beige and blue shocked woolen, trimmed with 8 band of plain silk rep in beige color. This material makes a deep border on the straight, hiplength jacket, bands the cuffs, and trims the straight skirt on one side.
 This suit, because of it's comfort able lines and practical material, is an excellent model for travelling, motoring or general country wear, It is accompanied by a small hat of beige colored suede. A beige scarf completes a youthful and very dur able outfit.
 The sports model sketched illus trates the vogue of the straight-line silhouette. It is of blue and beige tweed trimmed with bands of plain silk rep.

 Shell be back again in a few weeks" Jimmy remarked acidly, as she watched their big car back out of the driveway. "They may have enough money to buy the Statue of Liberty. but they aren't half as happy as we are, are they, Der rick?"
 She appealed to her husband, who answered that they weren't a tenth as happy, and went on bundling the twins into their white duck coats.
 A half hour later Mons and Merry were alone in the house once more and it seemed deathly quiet after the hub-bub of the past week.
 It was so quiet that the sudden ringing of the telephone in the hall made Merry jump.
 With her heart beating wildly, she turned to answer it. Perhaps it was Tony, calling her up at last!

 But it was only Lillie Dale who wanted 10 know if Moms' headache was better.
 Maybe she'd like me to come over and massage her head, and then could stay for dinner" said Lillie, who evidently missed the satisfying and delicious meals that Mons cooked.
 When she had hung up, Merry stood at the telephone. Her fingers still held the receiver light, and her lips silent repeated a telephone number that her heart had never forgotten-the number of the Gaines house on Cabot street.
 She lifted the receiver to give it.
 Merry" a voice said behind her. Before she turned to see the man who was standing beyond the screen door that led to the porch, she knew whose voice that was.
 "Tony!' she answered.
 And then. because we say and do | the most ofdinary things when we are most excited, she walked over to the screen door and added: q i was just going to call you up. l thought you were going to go away without coming to see me-" ! For all the surprise or gladness that was in her voice. she might have seen hims only yesterday.

Lillian's Yelled Hints to Madge
 About Dicky's Jealousy

There was a serious note In Iu- lian's gibing comments upon the magnificent roses which Philip Veritzen had sent to me, ostensibly to welcome Mary Harrison to her new home and work. It did not tend to quiet the uncomfortable uualms which I already felt con- cerning the flamboyant gift. For secretly I knew, and acquitted my self of vanity in the knowledge, that Lillian and Katherine were right in their quick, shrewd surmise concern ing the flambouant gift. For secret ly I knew, and acquitted myself of vanity in the knowledge, that Lll- lian and Katherine were right In their quick, shrewd surmise con corning Philip Veritzen's real pur- pose in sending the flowers. Ills plausibly worded note did not de- ceive me, but it did disturb me, for it confirme the vague impression I had received before that the great producer might stress the personal note in our work together.
 But l must give no hint of my own conviction to the friends whose eyes, kindly but keen, knew were watching me. With a strenuous ef- fort to appear nonchalant, l bent to the box and lifted the fragrant mass out.
 I'm not concerned with MT. yeritzen's motives or his descre- tion," told Lillian, laughing. But his taste is impeccable-"
 That's what Katherine and think" Lillian retorted dryly, and Katherine's quiet chuckle brought the hot blood to my cheeks so quickly that I barely had time to hide 1t by burying my face in the roses upon the pretense of enjoying their fragrance.
 If you two don't stop trying to pretend you're comic strips" I said sternly a second later from behind the shelter of the roses, I'll not give you any of these"
 "We'll be good" they chorused quickly, but Lillian could not for bear another comment.
 That's a good idea, dividing them. That way the full effect of them won't hit the Dicky-bird all at once"
 It was the second time she had mentioned Dicky's possible reaction to this spectacular gift from MT. veritzen, and I realized that she wished me to be prepared for any

 Reddy looked down in the water and, sure enough. he saw a fish coming straight toward that nest. It was a very small fish, hardly three inches long. Reddy would have said it was a minnow. It loked to him like a minnow. Then he saw that there was a second fish. ~I suppose" said he, that one of those is Mrs. Stickleback."
 Graywing bobbed bis head. "Of course,' said he. Those arc MT. and Mrs. Stickleback. 1hat one go- ing into the nest now is Mrs. Stickleback."

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
MODERN INDUSTRY KNOWS IMPORTANCE OF FIRST AID
 BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal of the American
 Medical Association and of

Editor Journal of the American
 Medical Association and of
 Hygeia the Health Magazine
 Since the World war, increasing attention has been given by the Red Cross, by public health educators and by industries to the training of a considerable number of persons in the elements of first-aid
 Such work is particularly impor- tant in industries that spread over much territory: for example, in mines, where an employe may be seriously injured at a point far removed from medical assistance.
 Many industrial plants now .have regular classes for instruction in first-aid methods, under the direc- tion of the plant physicians or in- structors provided by the Red Cros. Interest in the work is stim- ulatcd by the holding of competi- tive first-aid exhibitions, and by the advancement of employees showing special aptitude for the work to positions as safety engineer or social worker in the industry.
 Methods Simple
 The conditions which occur most frequently in industrial work and which require prompt first-aid, properly carried out are hemorr- haze as result of any cutting or mutilating accident, shock as the result of a fall or electric pheno- mena, and burns.
 It is, therefore, obvious that first instructions are first concerned with proper methods of preparing and transporting persons suffering from fractures or from shock. which prevent their walking to a place for treatment.
 Persons unconscious from cleo tric shock. from drowning, or from inhaling fumes of gases have to be resuscitated. The method is essen- tially simple and 9 easily compre- hended by any employe who is will ing to take the time to learn. The method must, however, be taught | by an experienced worker in the first instance. .- Realize Importance Burns are mutiating and many secondary complications of serious nature occur, unless the first-aid | treatment that is given is prompt and accurate. This involves the i cleansing of the wound and the use of simple antiseptic substances, by the covering of the wound with melted paraffin and sterlized gauge. ! All sorts of first Laid cabinets 1 have been prepared for use in in dustrial plants. Some of them re- ! semble miniature drug stores In 1 their completeness.
 | In general, the first-aid equip ment requires hardly more than eight or ten simple articles, such as gauge, scissors, simple antiseptics, tourniquet and assorted bandages. I With these, all necessary first-aid treatment may be applied and the i patient kept safe and comfortable until first-class medical treatment | becomes available.

With the cream of tomato soup and crisp croutons the diet is ideal,

The issuance of the injunction
against the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers brings forward again
the need for independent working
class political action. Injunctions are
being employed by the bosses on an
ever-increasing scale. The right to
strike and picket is life and death
necessity for the maintenance OF union
organization.
The purpose of injunctions is TO
deal death blow to the right to
strike and picket. Workers must ex-
ert their maximum effort in order to
defeat the use of such methods In
tended to establish the open shop in
industry.
Present Assembly Anti.Labor.
The New York state assembly has
In the last year engaged in an orgy
of reactionary legislation. It has
turned down the very simple demands
for labor legislation presented by the
New York State Federation of Labor.
1t has defeated bills aimed at re
lieving the exploitation of women and
children. On the other hand, reac-
tionary measures in the interests of
the manufacturers and trusts of New
York state have been favored by the
legislature.
Employers Seek More Power.
The proposals for the reorganization
of the government, tho heralded as a
plan for simpliflcation of the govern
ment, means that more injunctions
and greater police power are put in
the hands of employers interested in
destroying unions and reducing the
living standards of the workers.
The workers in this election must
demonstrate their readiness to sup
port proposals aimed at uniting their
power, of bringing nearer the day
when a labor party based upon the
strength of organized labor can be
established.
~ sgp5art the Workers. Party.
They must support the campaign
conducted by the Workers Party, for
improving the standards of life Of the
workers against militarism and war,
against injunctions and measures to
stifie the voice of labor, for the recog-
milton of the Soviet Union, for social
equality to the Negro and for all meas
ures that will build up the power of
the working class.
