Quicksands of Love
 Adele Garrison's New Phase of -Repelotions Of q Wife

Have you written to Philip Verit- zen that you would take up his work" she demanded.
 Seeing that il was only a few minutes ago when I was assured by Katherine that she would take up mine. I must answer in the nega- tive"
 Katherine moved quietly toward the door,
 "Ill find your pocketbook, Lil," she said, Tt would be cruelty to in animate objects to let you go rum maging through those rooms up stairs"
 five Found YoNr Purse!"
 Lillian looked after her as the lit. tie nurse fitted out of the room.
 She's brutal 10 me-" she com plained. but she's also the most tactful rson I know. Now pay attention 10 your grandmothers counsel You mustn't delay writing to Veritzen. He's most pealous of his dignity and if lie thought you were treating his offer any less lightly than you would an appoint ment as ambassador 10 England he's just touchy enough to withdraw 1t. "
 "I'u write it tonight" I promised
 "If l run up tomorrow morning would you mind letting me give the first draft the once oTer?"
 "Of course not" I agreed, "but which do you fear-my procrastina- ton or my competition n?"
 Both" she retorted with a grin, and then Katherine made a pur- posely noisy entrance, rattling the door and calling out: I've found your purse!" before she fairly had opened the door.
 Lillian took the purse and her de- parture with parting injunction to me to be ready for her the next morning. and when she was gone Katherine came over 10 me and took my hands in hers.
 "Madge," she said earnestly while l believe all this stuff today was imaginary yet l know that il will trouble you. So I'm going to promise you that Junior never again shall be left in the apartment alone for a single minute"
 I thanked her with a great relief at my heart. for. though my brain agreed with her verdict, I could moi help filing away for future refer ence the incidents of the mysterious noise. the Jumps Of sugar on Juniors coverlst and the unlocked stairway door

from its hole in the sand. Always it lis very tempting and Greywing many times has yielded 10 tenn pta- ton and darted at one of these clans in the hope of catching it. But
 at the first move, down it goes, and Greywing has nothing but an ex- Iasperating hole in the sand to look at.
 Now, the surprising thing is that | this clam can go down into the sand | faster than you can dig down with i a spade. Yet he has no feet, he has 10 hands, he has no claws; to look
 at him you wouldn't think he had q thing to dig with.
 l have said this clam has no feet l This is true. But it has what is call ed a foot. It isn't like the foot Of q
 bird. or an animal or any one else
 you know of. It isn't shaped like any foot. It looks like merely a long Ifleshy part pushing out from the lower end of the she'll But it is with this that this clam can burrow so fast in the sand. This queer so-call- ed foot pushes out until it is a point With this it pushes right down in the sand. Then through the other end Ithe clam draws in water and forces this water right down into the foot
 so that the foot swells out and pushes away the sand around it. Then that point becomes a little disk that clings to the bottom and the clam pulls its shell right down. Then does it all over again, so that it goas,down in the sand very fast
 This clam is also considered very nice eating by others than Grey pEing the Gun, but it is so clever in getting out of sight in the sand that
 1t is not often obtained as food. While this particular clam is an exceedingly good digger, there is another little clam which is a good
 swimmer Wouldn't Danny Meadow
 Mouse have been surprised If he
 could have seen q clam swimming? You know. q clam doesn't look bit as if he could swim. Most of then
 cannot But this particular littlF
 clam. which is only about tbree quarters of an inch in length, can
 swim for quite dishnce without
 once touching bottom, There is still
 another clam called the Sandha'
 Clam, which comes 10 the surface o'
 the water and sIips along by means Of its powerful foot and the flappine motion of the valves of the shell,

 But there is another member of the clam family quite as delicious eating, which Greywing is seldom smart enough 10 get. Often he sees this clam but usually that is all. This clam is lopg, quite six inches long, and marrow. and shaped very much like the handle of an o!d-fashiened razor.

Menus for he Family
By SISTER MARY

Breakfast Chilled cantaloupe, e. real, thin cream. crisp broiled ha- con, soft cooked eggs, whole wheat toast, milk. coffee,
 Luncheon: Potato salad, rye bread, fruit jelly with whipped cream. plain cake, milk, tea.
 Dinner; Planked ham. stuffed baked tomatoes. nodded Swiss chard salad. red raspberry short cake, graham bread, milk, coffee.
 The tomatoes are stuffed with macaroni and cheese. The maca- roni makes it unnecessary to serN e another vegetable which simplities both the cooking and the dish washing.
 This potato salad suggested in the luncheon menu is. quite out of the ordinary and is more attractive 10 serve than the usual variety.
 Potato Salad
 Two large potatoes, 1 scant tea spoon mustard, 1 1-2 tablespoons salt 2 tablespoons olive oil, table spoon tarragon vinegar, 3 hard cooked eggs, few drops onion juice. tablespoon anchovy sauce, pickled beets.
 Wash potatoes and boil until tender. Peel and put through a ricer. Season with mustard and salt Put eggs through ricer. Add 10 potatoes and heat in oil. vinegar onion juice and anchovy sauce. Beat well and let stand until cool. Shape into small balls and chill. Place each ball on q slice of pick led beet and serve on bed of let tunc with French dressing.
 Melted butter can be used in place Of oil in the salad In this event use less salt l teuspoonfuI will be enough A mild boiled dressing can be used in place of the French dressing if preferred.

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

Pain may be defined as peculiar, particular sensation occurring in an animal body. Sudduth says Pain is mental state, an element 'of consciousness, due 10 the perccp- tion of an injury 10 the body or 10 the sensual feelings"
 It gives rise to hunger. stiaety. nausea, thirst, physical or mental depression or exhilaration. If also produces the feeling of fatigue and exhaustion.
 For Preservation
 Its opposite is pleasure which is also a mental state ana represents q natural tendency of our energies to seek that which brings satisfaction, Both pain and pleasure are special sensations provided by nature for the preservation of the individual and the race.
 Many interesting facts are dis closed when we begin to interpret classes of pain. One is spoken of as objective, being caused by obvious injury, disease or deranged function.
 The other is subjective, having no porceptible organic basis for it's presence. Due consideration must always be given to the mental state, to the degree Of health of the suf- ferer and 10 the physical findings.
 The pains of indigestion are caused by the use of improper food and the practice of hurried eating Occasionally such pains,are forebod- ings of more serious maladies.
 Nature Protests
 Whcn proper food habits fail to relieve such pains promptly. skilled examination and treatment arc necessary. Self drugging affords only temporary relief. and may lead to serious consequences.
 Headaches are often protests against over-indulgences in food and drink. In some cases they may in dicate grave and serious condition for eXdmple-brain tumor, optic nerve disease, pernicious anaemia and other diseases,
 Even the pain of sunburn. 9 $ com paratfvcIy trivial as it may seem, is a warning against foo sudden and prolonged exposure of the skin ts strong sunlight.

 Have You Written Veritzen?"
 "I'll tell Chicago and points West they are" Katherine said lightly. and I saw at last the morbid shadow of Lucia Meredith's suicide had left her sensitive spirit and she was nearly her own self again. But not quite. It would be long time be- fore the effects of that terrible trag- edy so nearly touching her would be wholly worn off. And, I could under stand that it was the reaftion from the almost superstitious attitude that had been hers toward Lucia's death which now made her the scoffing materialist in this matter of the apartment

White Chiffon Dance Frocks Are Enriched With Decorative Jew

 The dance frock of the mem en is a sophisticated affair of cheffen complicated in the matter of GU and extremely decorative in the wa.. of trimming. The skirt is dis tinguished by fold upon fold O. material, so cut as to insure ' straight slender silhouette at rest and an undulating line when in mo ton. Hem lines are uneven, al this effect is more graceful than z hard, straight edge. The bodice sec tion is close-fitting for the mos, part, and when trimming does ap pear. it is most frequently In thi. portion.
 A stunning example of the cur rent evening mode is the gow4 sketched today, a model unusuallI smart in both line and trimming The skirt Is mass of circulaI folds due to godets across ths front while an extra drapery hansl ing from the center of the girdlt adds further to the fluttering effeca
 I have used white chiffon as background for the delicate rhine stone trimming on both the bodics and girdle.
 A feature of this white chiffet evening frock is the Egyptian drarl ing of the jeweled girdle.
