he had his doubts about it. DO you think she cares for me, or for the money I'm able to give her?
 Tine money I'm not able to give her, I should say" he corrected himself before Margret had time to answer his question. We've been married five months and already we've spent more money than I earn at the Mills in whole year-and she knows I'm down there on a workman's salary"
 Margret shook her smooth brown head. She could scarcely believe what he said.
 T asked her not to spend any more money for while, and the first thing she did was to buy that pink dress she has on tonight. Jacks low deep voice ran on. "lf she cared a hang about me, would she have done that? But the money isn't the worst of 1t ws aren't happy together"
 Margret stared at him. Why. only the other day Honey Lou had told her that she was 50 happy that she was almost afraid to breathe for fear something might happen to spoil 1t all.
 At least, I'm not happy. "Jack said. and there was good deal of bitterness in his sudden boyish smile. T never see Honey Lou. She's asleep when leave for tho mills in the morning, and at night i' we don't go out, she goes to sleep right before my eyes. She's worn out with her card playing and her shopping and her tea. drinking all day long. She doesn't even eat dinner with me some times. Just sits at the table and yawns.'
 Margret did not answer him for moment. She seemed to be thinking of what he had said. When she finally did speak, she asked him single question:
 Did you ever stop to think that it's your own fault, Jack?"
 What do you mean?"
 Well" Margret explained her self slowly. You're fine ex- ample Of the great American hus- | band, Jack the husband who spells his wife completely. Gives her everything she wants-more than she wants. Takes away her job by giving her a servant to wash the dishes and make the beds. Tells her he wants her to have clothes just as good as" She broke off her sentence in the middle. as she looked up and saw Honey Lou and Daisy coming down the long flight. arm in arm.
 Their flushed young faces looked sulky above the extravagant eve- ming coats, and each of them was smoking gold-tipped cigaret in a long colored holder.

 She had come to know Jack Wal lack well in the month she had worked for his father and to like and understand him. But she shrank from saying tho thing she was going to say to him now.
 Don't be hard on Honey Lou. will you?" she pleadel. If she's seen that Donegal man two or three times since she's been mar ried, I'm sure 1t doesn't mean anything. Honey Lou cares so much for you that she'd never look twice at another man."
 Jack looked at her steadily. Do you think so?" he asked, and 1t was perfectly plain to Margret that

 "It's too bad Tim drinks the way he does" she said presently, and watched Jack from under the long curling lashes to see how he would take 1t. That was one Of Honey Louis failings-that she just had to talk about the thing If she knew she ought not to mention it.
 Jack scowled down at his news paper. and then across the table at her.

 I looked at Katherine gratefully when she made the comment that Jack Leslie was probably discour- aged in his pursuit of Mary Har- rison's acquaintance by the protect ing guard of our companionship which we had thrown around her.
 DO you really think so?" I ask cd hopefully.
 "Yes, I do." she answered with decision. T don't mean that we shouldn't keep up our apparently casual joining of our excursions all though believe she's what she would call hep to us, don't you?"
 I nodded, for I too had fancied that I saw in Mary's bright eyes a mrthfu comprehension Of our ruse.
 But I think we safely can taper off a bit" Katherine went on. That will give Mary doubt whether our journeyings with her are due to desire for her company or for in- formation. And it will not give Jack Leslie any better opportunity to see her, for he probably has had 1t borne in upon him by now that he never will know when we are like ly to appear in the offing with all sails set"

Frocks that shine In the night!
 Filmy affairs of fragile tulle dot ted here and there with bits of gleaming light. A satin sheath ablaze with jewelled embroidery. a clinglng velvet gown lighted by brilliants! Such gleaming notes, added to a variety of sumptuous fabrics, are the significant features of the luxurious mode.
 A lovely combination of flutter- ing grace and sophisticated orna- ment Is the dance rock sketched today. In addition to the gleam- ing trimming on the waist and the youthful bouffant silhouette, there Is the interest of two materials. The skirt, with Its ripping tiers. is fold upon fold of soft tulle. Delicate lace embroidered in bril- liants makes that close-fitting bodice section. Naturally the me dium Is black, as this color is the smartest note in both the day and evening mode.
 Frocks of this type are used for formal occasions as well as for the small. intimate dinner in ones own home. The decolletage Is usually shallow oval in front and a deep oval of V in back.
 The bodice if this bouffant eve- ming gown is black lace finished with band of tulle at the top, The fluffy skirt is black net. Copyright, 1926 (EFS)

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

the Health Magazine
 For centuries smallpox was the great scourge of man. In 1752. as reported by the American Associa- ton for Medicinal Progress, Bos- ton had almost 5000 cases of this disease ip a total population Of 15.6S4.
 There was a time when the hu- man being seldom was seen without the scars of smallpox on his face. Today, the man with the scars of this disease Is living evidence of ignorance or carelessness on the part of his parents, who failed to avail themselves of the properties Of smallpox vaccination.
 The number of cases reported from 4s states and the District of Columbia in 1921 was 1os,135 and there were 7s4 deaths. Since that time there has been rapid de- crease. so that the number of cases has varied between 30,O0o and 60,0oo each year. The number of deaths varied from the low mark of 1ss In 1923 to 7oe deaths in 1925. Ss3 In 1922, and S94 deaths in 1924.
 Vaccine
 The experiences of many nations have shown that smallpox can be prevented by vaccination. Almost everyone knows that the vaccina- ton itself Is a simple matter, in volving mere scratching of the skin and the inoculation of material whose purity and safety have been attested to by the government.
 Successful vaccination generally protects for five to seven years, and the second vaccination usually protects against smallpox for life.
 There Is not the slightest evidence to indicate that vaccination can do harm. The only deaths that occur are the result of lack of care after vaccination, whereby the scar itself becomes infected secondarily with bacteria. Vaccination properly done and properly cared for is as safe as any procedure related to the human body.
 Millions Of persons are vaccinated every year. and the amount of sec ondary illness is so small as hardly to merit mention,
 Cites Figures
 The proof of the protection at- forded by vaccination lies In the following figures, also assembled hy the American Association for Medical Progress:
 In 1925, there were 12,S5S cases of smallpox in IS states, Of the persons concerned, 9.66o had never been vaccinated; 751 persons had been vaccinated more than seven years previously: 2224 persons were unahle to say whether they had ever been vaccinated.
 The evidence is clear that vacci- nation protects.

and clung to the wall for support.
 Honey Lou stared at him. pale and so frightened that her eyes were like saucers. Some instinct told her what he was going to say.
 And he did say just what she expected him to!
 He thinks I never see you any more." The words came from his lips in little jerks He never 'magines we play cards every now and then, together, does he? Good joke on him!"
 Everybody in the hallway laughed except three people. Honey Lou and Margret and Jack.
 Then Tim staggered foolishly back into the living room and the crowd broke up into twos and threes and followed him. Present ly only Honey Lou and the man and woman on the seat under the stairs were left in the hall.
 Honey Lou walked over to them. Jack" she said, T hope you don't think I've been seeing Donegal alone. Angela and I have played cards with him just once, and no more-Isn't that true, Angeia?"
 Margret could not see whether Angela nodded or shook her head. But after a minute Jacks voice came up the staircase to her.
 Better get on your things and we'll go home" he said harshly, and Honey Lou came running up the stairs.
 Margret hurried on before her, and she was waiting for her in Angela's silk-hung room. where they had left their wraps.
 "Oh. Jacks so angry" Honey Lou gasped. You just should have heard the way he spoke to me a minute ago."
 "I did," Margret answered quiet ly. T heard something else. too. I heard your dear friend Angela telling him that she tried to stop you from buying that dress you have on!"
 Honey Lou looked down at the pink shiny folds of the garment in round eyed amazement
 This dress?" she asked. "Why, Angela didn't tell me not to buy it! She wanted me to get 1t. It was such a bargain, and--well, I just wonder what made her say a thing ike thatr'
 She stood puzzling over 1t for second. Then she picked up her black velvet cape from the bed and threw it around her bare, graceful shoulders
 Well, I can't stop to figure It out now" she said with gulp. 'l'--e got to fly! Jack'll be angrier than ever If I keep him waiting. Oh Margret don't you ever marry 6 jealous man. Think of Jack being jealous of a little shrimp like Tim Donegal. Isn't 1t just too silly for words? But I just know we're going to have terrible TOW over it when we get home!"
 She turned to go. But before she reached the door of the big, luxurious room, Daisy Deane came running in.
 "Oh, my dear!" she cried. and Margret saw that she was halfway between tears and laughter, Her clear. reedy voice was tense with strain, and she caught hold of Honey Lou's shoulders with ner- vous, clutching hands. We're going home too. Sam Langdon IS SO cross with me because I danced with Tim! As If it were my fault! Why does everybody keep asking Tim to parties when we all know he's all ways pie eyed ?"

Peter Rabbit is just like a great many people; he is happy-gol lucky never worries about anything, and in many ways is needless and , thoughtless. But he is always ready to do a good turn for others when ha can or when he thinks of 1t. So Peter has many friends.
 While all the Squirrel cousins were busy hunting for food to fill their storehouses, while Jerry Musk rat was mending the roof of his house to make 1t ready for winter, while Paddy the Beaver was cutting food logs that he and his family might not go hungry when the ice should come, while Johnny Chuck was stuffing himself to make sure z that he had a thick coat of fat un- ' derneath his fur coat before going to sleep for the winter, Peter Rab- bit was wandering about trying to find some one to play with.
 There was frost in the air. just enough to make Peter feel good. Ii was splendid weather to go frisking a bout. So it was that Peter did q lot of roaming. He spent most Of his time over in the Green Forest, and there one day he discovered in g place he had seldom visited a hickory tree that seemed to have been overlooked. Any way, there were a lot of fine hickory nuts on the ground. and although Peter hung around for some time. he could not see one of the Squirrel family.
 This Is funny" thought Peter. TT wonder how 1t happens that no one seems 10 know about these nick cry nuts I'll go and look up Happy Jack. He ought to know about these. They are no good to me, but they certainly ought to make Happy Jack feel good"
 So Peter went 10 look for Happy Jack. It didn't take him great while to find Happy Jack. Just as usual, those Squirrel cousins were quarreling and their unpleasant voices rang through the Green ( Forest. Peter began to understand why 1t was that that lone hickory tree had not heen found. "They are SO busy trying to keep each other from getting what they have found, they haven't the time to look any where else" thought Peter. And this was exactly the case.
 Peter found q comfortable place to sit and watch. He could afford 10 be patient. He knew that sooner or later Happy Jack the Gray SQuir- rel would come his way. Finally Happy Jack did. In fact he buried a nut under the leaves just back Of Peter. Don't you tell" said he to Peter
 q won't" replied Peter. q won't tell anybody But don't you think l. is foolish to try to hide a nut so close to the tree?"
 "I haven't time to carry 1t away any further" replied Happy Jack. Five hidden lot around here un- dor the leaves. By and by, when there Is no one to see me, I will dig them up and carry them away" He rushed off. Hardly wns he out o' sight when Rusty the Fox Squirrel came running mp and dug I'D that nut that Happy Jack had hidden. He carried 1t a little way off and in his turn hid 1t. Then he, too, hurried away. Hardly was he out Of sight when Chatterer the Red Squirrel came along. and his sharp nose soon found that very nut He, too. carried it off Ii short distarce and Itd it. Peter anl,at laughed aloud, He watched this foolish game for some time. A last H1pry lack once moro came near enough for Peter 10 speak to him. T know where there are many

 Why, what do you mean?" Honey Lous was aghast. "oD you mean to say that I can't have An- gela and Donegal in to play cards if I want them?" Exactly that"
 He got up from the table and walked out of the room. In an- other minute Honey Lou heard the front door close behind him.
