CHAPTER XIV

While the confab was going on
in the Heath studio, Mrs. Prentiss
was sitting at her window, wondering
whether to go over to the Heaths'
house or not.
Her curiosity was as strong as
usual and her inclination was to 60,
but strange sense of caution held
her back.
She felt. intuitively. that she could
do no good over there and might do
harm. Moreover, she could have

her nephew and her guest reap

waiting and thinking.
The telephone rang, and Mrs.
Prentiss answered it herself. This
was her custom, for her quick Curl

A mans voice said, MAY speak

Saving Sight.

The Health Gnome, who is unoffi-
cially connected with the State De-
partment of Health, is a collector of
rhymes. He uses them as a minister
does his text, as sort of peg on
which he hangs his sermon. The
other day, from his favorite perch on
the directors desk, he began to talk
about eyes.
eve hear about drinking milk, eat
ing green vegetables, taking care of
our teeth and about all sorts of other
things that will help to keep us well
and strong-and they are very neces-
sary-but we rarely hear about the
eyes and the care they need. Now,
I'd like to pass on to the children
and the grown-ups, too, some good ad-
vice that l found in a news letter
from the Junior Committee for the
Prevention of Blindness. Part of it is
in rhyme and all of it breaches saw
ing sight Here are some of the
lines:
IS is for sad little Sadie,
Who never took care Of her eyes,
So she hasn't the sight to read and
write
And she sits in the corner and
cries.
81 is for intelligent ida,
Whose glasses are shining and
bright,
And she keeps them on straight
Iar both early and late,
So she always has very good
sight.
sc is for gay little Georgia,
Who thinks that to read is great
fun,
But he cleverly tries to take care of
his eyes,
So he won't hold his book in the
sun.
II is fer happy young Harry,
Who knows that it is foolish to
wait
If your eyes need good care, to the
doctor repair,
Or you'll find it will soon be too
late.
ST tells about troublesome Tommy,
who reads books late at night and ru-
ined his sight. Finally the letter sums
up the advice in plain prose in this
way:
Read with a good light falling from
ABOVE your left shoulder.
Hold your book about fourteen
inches from your eyes.
Always read with your head up.
Keep your book clean; soiled page
is hard to read.
Avoid books printed in small type
or on glossy paper.
Rest your eyes frequently.
If your eyes ache, or if you have
trouble in seeing things distinctly,
have your eyes examined by doctor
who has had special training in the
care. of the eyes.
"Now, l think that all of that is
worth putting into practice. SO long"
and he was gone again.

and August, when there is decided
deartll Of color about the home, Grape
myrtle makes a very valuable addi-
ton to the lawn or garden paintings.
Although occurring in pink, white
and purple lowered forms, the pink
is generally conceded the most at
tractive. The handsome, glossy foil
age appears much later than that Of
other shrubs, due undoubtedly to the
plants southern origin. The flowers
are borne on the outer portions Of the
new shoots and are very enduring, so
that the plants remain an object of
beauty for several weeks. "A very at
tractive characteristic of Grape myrtle
Is its tendency 10 start blooming the
very first season after coming from
the nursery. Because Of the habit of
blossoming on new wood. Grape myrtle
should be pruned in the spring after
all danger of winter injury is past.
Unless strenuously pruned the plant
has tendency to lose its shrub form
