AUDREY MORTON, and n New York stage girl named MONA. each is deeply In love with Audreys guardian, HARRY MORTON.
 Morton, immensely attractive to women, unmarried, middle-aged and rich, maintains an expensive home in New Britain and an apartment in New York, between which he divides his time.
 Trying to avert Audrey from her love for him. he directs his secre- tary, JOHN PARRISH to be her companion whenever possible. Au- drey treats Parrish with di3dain, Seeing that Morton is much in the company of actresses, Audrey her self decides 10 go on the stage, and sine and Mona form q dancing team. At the end of the last chapter, ABE SUNSHINE, producer of re- vues. has just come into the room where Audrey and Mona arc rehears- ing, and says that an angry woman has been on the telephone. asking for Audrey.

"Well, you know the girl who dances with him is very much attached 10 him, The chances are that ho has told her that we abused him, and she planes the whole thing on Audrey"
 He laughed as he turned to the girl. You WOULD go on the stage, would you?"
 Mona breathed long sigh, Well, the poor fish," She was indignant, Ran right to the girl, to tell his troubles. And now she's jealous be- cause Audwrey was his dancing part ner for three days."

TEN WORRIES

Worrying won't gain a thing,
 But will only misery bring.
 Peter Rabbit.
 Peter Rabbit is like that. I don't know of any one who does less worrying than Peter Rabbit. He is happy lucky and leaves the wor- rying for othcrS-fOr little Mrs Peter, for instance. But mothers are born worriers. l suspect that some of them wouldn't be happy if they couldn't worry. Of course, the moro children they have. the more opportunity they have 10 worry, Mrs, Grouse had ten worries and while she was awake she spent most of her time worrying.
 IL is some job to watch ten lively worries with only one pair of eyes, and these little Grouse certainly were lively. They began to run all most as soon as they had picked their way out of their shells. It was surprising how fast their little legs could move. They were darlings. Even Peter Rabbit had to admit that. Not in all the Green Forest were there any cutter babies. But, oh dear, such care as they were.
 Some people seem 10 think that all little babies are alike. but they are not. Even when they are very little they differ greatly. Before those ten little worries Of hers were whole day old Mrs. Grouse found that one of them had a very strong

Morton stopped the music with a crash.
 You've still got it, Nona," he said, She bowed to him, as If she were accepting applause from n crowded theater.
 Absolutely, you're great danc- er," said Abe, with sincere convic- ton. How come you're only doing little parts. and tcaming up in caba. ret shows?"
 Nona shrugged her shoulders. Things don't always break right, you know" she said,
 She sat down beside Audrey, and the younger girl put her arm about Nona's waist. You're lovely as as"

 They are," l decided, taking the hem between my thumb and fore finger, "A very good <ade of flannel. l don't know whether like them or not. Do you?"
 She took up the part of the cloth extending upon her side of the table and critically inspected the big dark brown and light tan checks which patterned the cloth.

 Ills dancing eyes robbed his words of their apparent captousncss, and Harriet and l, smiling at his non- sense, settled back in our chairs to watch the other diners, always an expressing occupation to most wom- en. When our waiter came back we both requested Dicky to order for us Hearing 1t, l recognized his 1 own fayorite menu tripled. | Grab meat cocktails, consomme. grilled English mutton chops, baked l potatoes, new peas, tomato and let tuce salad, a bit of cheese and black coffee."

respect. The older he grew the more hvadstrong he became. When Mrs. Grouse told them to hide he always waited to see why he should hide; and as a result once he was all but caught by Redtail the Hawk. Yes, sir, he was almost caught.
 But 1t was not just their enemies that Mother Grouse had to worry about. She worried about the wealth. CT. l suppose most mothers do worry over the weather more or less. But this spring was rather wet. Baby Grouse cannot stand very much wet weather. They are apt to sicken and die if the weather | is wet too much at a time. So ! Mother Grouse always had the weather on her mind. She doesn't mind it for herself. Any kind of weather suits her. But for those babies she wanted sunshine and dry weather. Every time she saw cloud growing darker and darker she would gather the children to- gether and get them under her to protect them. Or she would lead them under the very thickcst hem. locks where the rain had hard work 10 get through. And every time one of those babies started to run out in the rain she would chuck and call it back. She certainly did keep q watchful eye on them during the wet weather.
 Now, for such hardy, vigorous parents. baby Grouse arc apt 10 be
 rather delicate. Not all their en- emies are wearers of fur or feathers
 Some of their worst enemies are cer- tain insects. It would have been bad
 enough with just two or three chil-
 dren. but with ten of them, it is a
 wonder that Mrs. Grouse didn't turn gray with worry She didn't even
 sleep good. She was continually
 waking up 10 make sure that her
 ten worries were all with her. Of
 course. NJ. Grouse was very proud
 of that family, but he didn't have n
 great deal 10 do with 1t and he did
 no worrying over those babies. He
 left all that for Mrs. Grouse. But
 somehow the babies managed to es-
 cape all the dangers, and pretty soon they began to show real feathers and

ha. Audrey" he said. Tets be Nona's angel, and get her starred!"
 Before she could answer, Morton turned to Abe.
 Twill Audrey be all right? You saw her dance"
 The producer pondered. "Well, she won't be any Pavlowa, exactly, but shell do all right in this show we're putting on. But Mona, she's a dancer"
 His black eyes shone. Personally, I'd like to mix into it, if somebody could get her real engagement"
 Morton arose. Maybe you can mix into it." he replied.
 Mona had been listening to the conversation, gravcly. She rose to her feet, now, and extending her hand to Audrey, said: Come on. We'll have to work"
 For two hours the girls labored, Mona patiently leading, Audrey fol- lowing the orders she received. Both we're llI'u W lltll Nlul lOll llDdlly tcll them to quit. Mir. Sunshine long since had gone back to his own desk.
 Morton waited while the girls changed their clothes again, behind the curtain, and accompanied them as they passed through Abc's office. Mr. Sunshine held Morton q moment, Miss Morton won't stay on the stage" he said. Shes the marry ing kind"
 Sage words from an expert, | laughed Morton.
 Audrey bowed her head in confu. ! sion and hurried on, but Mona paused.
 We're all the marrying kind" she said. but We don't always get tho i right chance"

 Morton poked at the boys good naturedly with his cane.

 They entered the car, and MQrtol told the driver to go to the office.
 "I'll get Parrish" he said. 'an, we'll all take dinner together"
 Audrey objected. why do W have to have him tagging along"
 Mona watched the younger girl face. her eyes half closed. What wrong with him?" she asked.
 Morton answered the question "Nothing. really. except that he ha undertaken to give orders to Audrey That is always q mistake in dcalin with young women"
 There was a change in his voic that attracted the attention of bot girls. His tone had dropped, as in dejection. He bowed his hea' and stared moodily at the floor.

 Quarantine
 Failure 10 enforced quarantine measures during the early period of measles and failure to quarantine or unreported cases greatly increases the opportunity for measles to spread. An extension of school inspection with the eXciu- sion from school of children who have colds or fever, or who are otherwise indisposed, would remove from contact with other children many beginning cases of measles.
 Infantile paralysis or poliomycltis is another deadly disease. Forum atcly, it is not as prevalent as measles or whooping cough, but it is sufficiently common 10 strike ter TOT into the hears of parents,

 Abe shook his head. "She wouldn't leave any name, She said sne wss sure you were here, or were going to be here. l suppose she'll drop in."
 "I think I know" said Morton. You remember the young gentle man we had on the grill here this morning?"
 Abe and Audrey nodded. Mona looked at them in inquiry. Briefly,
