 She smiled a1fccrionatcly at me, twisted her arm from my clasp. and went 10 the rear room, where Katie was at work. l knew that her smil- ing lightness of demeanor did not mean any doubt in her mind that my news was serious, hut that it was simply part Of the perfectly oiled machinery of her profession.

You probably will have a chance, my dear. ''replied Mother Muskrat. But l warn you right now to keep out Of sight. l am afraid that Billy Mink might be tempted 10 try tender young M',skrat for dinner He is a wonderful swimmer, but there is another swimmer who is better"
 'Who?" cried all the little Musk rats together
 Mother Muskrat opened her mouth and suddenly closed it again without saying anything. She made a sign for them 10 keep perfectly still, which they all did. Out of the Laughing Brook into the Smiling Pool came a round, brown head. moving swiftly Suddenly if disap- pcarcl All the little Muskrats held thnir breath. Then out in the mid dla of the Smiling Pool appeared that head again and in the mouth yr1s fish. Straight 10 the Big Rock swam the fisherman and climod out on it.
 The seven little Muskrats. with their little eyes seeming 10 pop right out of their little heads. stared at lhis brown coated fisherman Never had they seen any one like him. His Lody was long. his legs were short and his tail was of good length, tapcrin2 and covered with hair They noticed this right away. because, you know. their own tails are almost bare.
 Breathlesslv the little Muskrats watched the brown fisherman as he sat on the Big Rock eating the best portions of that fish. He didn't eat the whole fish, but only the very Lest part Then he diyed into the "atar smoothly an3 easily and shot across Smiling Pool and down the Laughing Brook where it leaves the smiling Pool on its way to the Big River.
 ''Who was it." inquired all the little Muskrats together.
 "It was the greatest swimmer; if FaF Little Joe Otter" replied Mother 1iusjrat. fife can swim faster than a fish. A NUskrat is slow beside him. When you Ste him, just keep ont of his way"
 "Yes'm." said all the little Musk nfs.

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

Milk is the one food of childhood which cannot be replaced by other foods. Every child should have from one to two ptnts Of milk daily.
 About one ot every five children in the country is undernourished. Most of these undernourished chil- dren are below weight. some as much as % per cent. Their flesh is fabby their resistance to disease low, The only way to help them is through diet and proper nutrition.
 Regular Meals
 The child should have regular meals. He should be given a cereal in the morning. Green vegetables are an essential part of his diet.
 Fried meats should be forbidden to children between teh age ot 3 and 6 years The meat for child of this age should be rare and given not more than once d day. Roast beef, lamb chops, broiled tendcrIoin, minced white meat of chicken (well cooked) and broiled or boiled fresh 'lr7iA hA v EDC4 iOA IIlill- AFlNF HUI crisp bacon, and soft boiled or poachcd eggs
 Fruit Desserts
 Desserts for young children should consist mainly of fruits. Here are few that will help: Apple sauce. baked apple. cup custard. orange juice, stewed prunes. rice tapioca, Jello or sirup on bread.
 A diet composed only Of meat potatoes, bread and cereal does not promote children's health and growth. Vegetables and soup arc parts Of his diet.
 Every child needs at least 10 hours sleep every night. This is es- sential to growth. He needs fresh air night and day. and a moderate of outdoor play.

Madge Prepares to Break the News
 to Katherine.

IL is not easy to tell a friend that you have been meddling in her af- fairs, even though you have been actuated by an overwhelming anN- iety for her. For this reason, my re- luctance to face Katherine. coupled with the eedie premonilion Of some thing sinister and menacing in our immediate future, made my progress up the stairs slow and halting. anu kept me outside the door for sev- eral tense seconds before l could summon my courage To enter.
 Katherine was sitting by the win dow menaing torn blouse of Juniors who, l surmised, must still be asleep after the romp we had shared with him before I lett the apartment. The tight Of her dear familiar head bent over work for my boy, and the remembrance Of the many acts Of tenderness and care which We all had received from my little kinsWOman, made me suddenly glad, with a fierce little feeling of protectiveness, that 1 had intervened to save her from the dangerous task Of nursing Lucia Meredith.
 She looked up brightly as I en- tered. then as the afternoon light from the windows fronting the Hud- son fell upon my face, she sprang To her feet with 9 dismayed solicitous cry.
 "I'n Change My Prescription"
 "Madge, Are you ill? You are positively ghastly. Sit down here quickly"
 She had drawn forward an arm chair as she spoke, and the next in stant she had put me into it, and with quick. dett fingers was rcmoy- ing my hat. l caught her arm as she moved away from me. for the purpose, I guessed, Of bringing me some restorative.
 "I don't need thing" I said. I'm not at all i'll. I've just heard some

A charming frock for afternoon wear is made of mist gray chiffon over graz satin. sThe slip If satin is hemstitched in a geometric design In silver. The chiffon over-slIirt is finely pleated and stitched at inter- yals in silver. The long slender waist is plain and sleeveless. It has a V-shaped neck and wide berthe- like collar pleated and stitched in silver, as the skirt is.
 Gray ribbon encircles the neck and ties in a bow. Gray and silver ribbon bind the waist and tie in B bow in front
 Smart slippers for this delicate frock may be of gray satin or gray calfslSin and crocodile leather com- bned. The combination of feathers and satin is extremely smart and en- hances the beauty of a frock when chosen with discrimination.

-Old Mother Nature.
 Knowledge is made up of q great many observations, the observations of q great many people. If people didn't observe, which, you know means to see things with understand ing, there would bc very little lnowl- edge. Much of the training of the little people of the Green Meadows and the Green Forest. the Laughing Brook and the Smiling Pool is through observation Of father and mother and what they do. and Of other things.
 Jerry Muskrat's children took 10 swimming as naturally as most lit tie people take 10 walking They didn't have to learn how to swim. This is 10 say. they didn't have to learn to get about in the water. They did have 10 learn by practice how 10 swim well. Mother Muskrat was very particular about this swim ming. Many times when they thought they were just swimming about for fun they really were being traiped how to swim rapidly and well.
 "Watch your father swim across the Smiling Pool" Moth,r Musk rat would say. Then Jerry Muellrat would dive from tho Big Rock and swim clear across the Smiling Pool under water while fhc seven little Mu4krats looked on admiringIy.
 ''T suppose Father is inc best swimmer in all tha Great World,' said ono of tha little AIuskrats
 Mother Nushra' shook hrr head. "No-o," said she slowly. "he is very good swimmer hu' he isn't the best swimmer in aIl the Great World"
 "Whn is better Swtmmur2" de- mu3ol another Gula Muskrat.
 "WeI, ] think that probably EIy Mink is a better swimmer. though ! am sure your father is better diycr,' declared Ms. Muskrat.

love with him. as she pretended to be.
 He knew that she was in love | with Fanny Phelps. Too many women in their time had tried to marry Peter, for any woman to pull the wool over his eyes, now. He knew all their pretty tactics and all their little wiles and shams. He was as clever as veter- an foXa was Peter.
 He opened. the door of Sylyia's lit- tie white and blue kitchen, and stepped inside. Let me help you with those sandwiches" he said 10 l her.
 She shook her head al him. her face dead white. She was looking down at her fingers, all blood where she had cut them with the bread knife she still held in her rigf hand.
 He reached in his pocket for clean handkerchief and began bind it around the bleeding han
 It was at hat precise second thu.' Babe Dclano pushed open the door and looked in. She took a long look. Without a sound she closed the door, and tiptoed back to the living room, where Fanny sat staring into the erate fire as he smoked The smile on her face was most un- beautiful.
 My beau and your wife are hold ing hands out ill the kitchen," was all she said but Il was enough.
 Fanny got mp, put down his pipe slowly and carefully, and walked out lot the room. He was so blind with his own sudden rage that he didn't see that Peter was bandaging Syl- via's hand. All he saw was that the two of them were standing very .clo~e together beside the kitchen table.
 Get out" he said to Peter with a low groWl like thunder in the distance. Get out of my house!"
 Peter looked ID at him in blank punishment.
 "Wcn. just wait until I finish with Sylvia's hand.' he said very quietly.
 And then Fanny saw that they were not holding hands. after all,
 Huh, I beg your pardon, I thought you were fussing Sylvia he said grimly and went out of the room
 But the seed of suspicion had been sown in his sol,l, 'ust the same.
 The next morning Sarah Wilk telcphoned for. Sylvia.
 Eve got 10 tai 10 you. and I'm lGid up with rheumatism. or I'd come over thcrc," she groaned over the phone. "I went keep you but ten minutes.'
 Sylvia left Fanny and Babs over their late breakfast and took cab to Sarah's house.
 She found her, smelling of arnica and Wintcrgroen oil, and grooming
 with her pain. "I feel like a cid focl sending for you this way Syl- w." she said. when Sylvia kissed her pink fat check, but I've got to talk 10 you about Peter. You must leave him alone-you mustn't keep bothering him. Last night he came home and walked the floor for one solid hour after he'd been at your house."
 Sylvia looked at her with unhap- py eyes.
 "What do you mean? That he still likes me-" she asked, and went on without rafting for an answer. "Oh Sarah, what am I going to do?-Tt would be foolish never 10 see Peter just because he once asked me to marry him. That was ages ago."
 The chances were that she'd not sec him again for a long time, any way.
