"a fish, just as I said I would"
 I'm always ready to be shown, ' replied Reddy, and trotted along the beach, keeping his eyes on Graywing the Gull, who flew ahead of him. Graywing flew over the sand dunes toward tie marsh. Reddy trotted along over the sand dunes. He saw Graywing alighting by q tidepool on 1 the marsh beyond the dunes. It was pool that the water never ran out of. Rather gingerly Reddy picked his way through the wet marsh grasses over to where Graywing was waiting | for him. He didn't like getting his feet wet that morning.
 "How are your eyes?" demanded Graywing as Reddy came up.
 Just as good as they were when you asked me that a little while ago" replied Reddy.
 "All right" said Graywing. Look down in the water where those grass stems are coming up out of it. If your eyes are really good, you will see fastened to those stems little round ball"
 Reddy leaned over and looked down into the water. T see it." said he.
 well, that is the nest of fish" " replied Graywing.
 Reddy stared very hard. Attached to the grass was a little round soft looking mass about the size of q big glass marble. It seemed to be made of tiny bits of plant growth fastened together in some way that Reddy couldn't understand. There was a round doorway. II did look like lit file nest, but it was hard work for Reddy to believe that it was the nest of fish, for he saw no fish about.
 "Ill admit that it looks like a nest" said Reddy. "but you haven't proved to me yet that it is the nest of a fish"
 Be patient" retorted Graywlng. You have been out in the Great World long enough 10 know trat 10 see things one must be patient. If you haven't any important en- cagement, suggest you watch here little while. I think you'll sec something that will surprise you and will convince you that this is the nest of fish. Huh! you won't aaye to have patience. Here comes the owner of that nest now. II is Mir. Stckleback." Copyright, 1926, by T. w. Burgess)

But Cassie asked the question for her. How do you know he's not?' Merry found her voice then "When-did he tell-you that?" she asked haltingly.
 "'S afternoon" ,inny replied, mot more than an hour ago, while | had the twins out for ride in their bug 'gy. I hurried home to tell you about it, Merry"
 Merry blinked at her like a sleep walker who is suddenly awakened.

 Cassie laughed, You would" she sneered, with your manners!"
 Jimmy blushed under her freckles. She turned her back on Cassie.
 'I had long talk with him, Mer- ry," she said. He asked me all about you, and I told him every thing he wanted to know"
 What did he want to know?" asked Merry.

 q want at least s25O,OoO to begin with"
 That will not be hard to get" an- swered MT. Robinson. T think I can raise half the face value Of my note, which with Joan's consent I will pay to John. I am sure that he will be able to make up the rest"
 Thank you, dad" said John.
 "Oh, that's all right. When are you leaving"
 "As soon as l can get away. With in the month at the very latest. Symington tells me that we can get ready within that time, and you know how I hate civilization"
 Joan was told that she had plenty of money at her disposal to make her trip abroad, but she seemed to have changed her mind.
 q do not think I shall go for a month or two now. ] want to stay here until Bud goes away. You'll come out here, John, and stay at the house until you are ready to go,"
 Her brother hesitated. He knew that the house and everything it contained had been left to Joan ac- cording to the will but he also knew that he would be less conspicuous there than at an hotel, even though he was sure I was going to live with his sister. I caught him looking at me rather dubiously.
 I smiled at him openly and said: Do come and stay with Joan, MT. Meredith, for I am going to be there and I want to hear all about your trip. It looks to me as though it were going to be very interesting
 The color came into his cheeks.
 If you can find a place for sym ington, Sis, l think I'll come over and sleep, but I'm afraid you won't see very much of me-"

I drew back from the florists box which Mrs. Peters held out to me in astonishment unaccountably tinged with uneasiness.
 There must be some mistake" l said, for the very appearance of the box with the long rose stems extend- ing from it spelled lavishness of expenditure which no one in my circle of friends could afford.
 Your name is Mrs. Richard Gra- ham isn't it?" she asked, a trifle tartly, and l tool the heavy box from her arms. That's on the en- velope as well s his address. Even the second f.oored is marked. There isn't any mistake"
 I'm glad there isn't" Katherine commented. That box looks most interesting
 ''Do you want a knife or some thing to cut the cord 2" Mrs. Peters contributed hopefully, and I knew that she was naturally curious to see the flowers, but some instinct made me decide to let no eyes but my own and Katherines rest upon the con- tents of the box.
 sI'm as curious as Mrs. Peters"
 'No, thank you, I have something in the kitchen. Thank you so much for bringing it up."
 She took the hint and her depart ure promptly, and the door had no sooner closed behind her than hath- crime stared for the Eitchenette.
 "I'n get the knife while you open that envelope. I'm as curious as Mrs. Peters"
 tore open the envelope, to find only conventional blank card with the inscription "inclosure in box" When Katherine returned I handed 1t to her and, taking the knife from her hand, cut the cords fastening the box, and lifting the lid, disclosed a fragrant mass of magnificent roses ranging in color from the loveliest deep cream through the different shades of pink to glowing scarlet.
 "They cannot be for me-" I re- peated stupidly, but Katherine caupght up a small envelope lying upon the DloSSOlis anu tHIust IL IHlo my hand.
 If you don't read that, shall" she threatened, and drew out a card closely written above and be- low the engraved name it bore.
 Your niece has just wired me that she will be in New York today" the card said. Will you not permit me to have share in welcoming her to her new homer"
 The heavy engraving of the name stared up at me.

In the lower sketch today is a small hat of hunters green velvet featuring novel trimming, consist ing of rows of cross-stitching in red and darker green. It is street shape with a high, crushed crown and brim that turns up in back and down in front.
 Green also is the sports model shown above, but in this case the fabric is velours. Here the crown is also high and creased in three places across the top. The brim is turned up sharply on one side and held in place with a fiat bow of green and black striped grosgrain ribbon.
 On the high crown of a green velvet street shape is an interesting trimming of cross-stitch embroidery. Green and black striped grosgrain ribbon trims the green velouns sport shape below.

of the gift troubled me. | Philip Veritzen!" Katherine re- peated, with curious look at me, and I hastily Leld out the card to her.
 They're not for me-" l said. | They're for Mary"
 There was a lighttap on the door. Lillian's knock, and l remembered with a start that she had said she was coming up with something for Mary's room. When I opened it l almost laughed aloud with a ner- yousness that was almost hysteria. for she bore in her arms a small iardiniere holding a lovely but ex- ceedingly modest rosebush, which she put down hastily in the nearest chair as she caught sight of the box Of roses.
 My sainted great grandmother" she exclaimed, what big butter-and- egg-man has succumbed. to your wiles, Madge? Or is Katherine the lucky lady?"
 "Neither of us," l said, holding out the card. MT. Veritzen sent them to Mary as q welcome home.
 What's that?" she demanded sharply, but she was already deep in the perusal of the card and did not repeat my statement. But when she put down the card she looked over at Katherine with a significant smile.
 Have you read this?" she asked.
 Katherine nodded with an answer ing amused quirk of her lips.
 And you share Madge's modest opinion that these are intended for Nary"
 "The card says so," Katherine an- swered demurely.
 "Perhaps the card is right"
 "Well!" Lillian fixed me with eyes brimfull of laughter and a bit of harmless malice. Perhaps the card is right, but want to be around when Dicky first lamps these posies and receives the in- genious explanation that they were sent to welcome Mary home.
 "It's the sort of thing he loves to do," she said, suddenly turning serious, "when his stars make their first appearances, and on birthday anniversaries and things like that. But I never heard of his greeting a novice in this way. Take my advice and don't let Mary speak of it over at the offices. There's a lot of jealousy around there, and an at tention like this is likely to get her her in bad. Drat the man anyway! I admire his taste and his ingenuity in providing a plausible excuse for sending roses to you. Madge, but l can't throw any fits of rapture over his discretion"

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of tho American Medical Association and of Hygeia,
 the Health Magazine

When there is an infection of the nose or throat the bacteria some times get into the ear behind the ear drum through the custodian tubes, the passages leading from the mouth and nose cavities into the ear. Therefore many infections of the ear may be prevented by properly cleansing infected noses and throats with mildly antiseptlc and alkaline sprays and washes.
 Emphasis must be placed on the word properly" because such wash es as generally applied force fluid, pus and bacteria into the ear. These nasal douches should never be taken with any but the most gentle pres sure, perhaps slightly snuffIing the warm, alkaline fluid into the nose.
 Diagnose Early
 The early diagnosis of infection of the ear is important if inflammation of the mastoid bone, behind the ear and contiguous 10 the brain is to be prevented. The ears should always
 
 fever. The baby may not complain of pain in the ear but in the abdo- men or elsewhere, yet when the physician examines the ear drum II is found to be bulging and tender.
 The presence of fever a bulging drum and the symptoms mentioned Is sufficient reason for the physician to incise the ear drum to save the hearing of the child and to prevent borrowing of the infected pus into the mastoid region.
 When the diagnosis and the prop CT treatment of an infected ear are delayed, the results are likely to be extremly serious. In a period of six and one-half years, 500 persons with mastoditis were operated on /in the infirmary at Leeds, England.
 Death Rate High
 In one hundred and forty-seven of these cases there were such com- plications as abscess of the brain, inflammation of the coverings of the brain or meningitis, and severe ab- scesses of the bone around the mas told cell. When these complications ocur the death rate is high because treatment is most difficult. Here as in all other medical conditions early diagnosis and prevention are far better than attempts at cure.
 The advantages accruing through prevention of infection of the ear, through early release of pus when infection occurs, through early op- eration on the mastoid before the complications mentioned have inter- vened, are so obvious, that littlesdis- cussion seems necessary. But human beings are careless and inclined to procrastinate.
 The British authorities insist that the need for education to an appre- ciation of the danger signal in chronic infection of the middle ear Is equal to the amount of education now being given 10 the importance of early diagnosis in inflammation of the appendix or in cancer

That is just Old Mother Natures way of saying that not always can you believe what you see. There is an old saying that seeing is believ- ing" but there is nothing that can be fooled more easily than eyes. So, even though you see a thing, it is sometimes wise to be slow in believ- ing.
