 You vait," she said, "I be back"
 She hurried out Of the door, and l had no strength 10 protest her going, A minute later l heard the slow voice Of Mrs, Peters, the house keeper, upon the stairs.
 "T haven't got one" she said, land Mrs, Bascom, the woman down stairs has gone out Of the city for a couple of days, 1T she were home she'd let you have anything she had in the house. she's awful nice. And there isn't soul in the house they've all gone towork, except yes--Mrs. Baker, on the fourth floor, may have one She's awful queer. but I guess I can get 1t off her If it's for sickness
 "Katie!" I called again, but this lime my little maid did not hear me and I heard her voice chattoring an accompaniment 10 that of Mrs. Peters as the two women ascendcd 1 the stairs
 Madge Is Worried
 The colloquy had not helped my nervous trcmors any. for it was not hard 10 deduce that Mrs. Baker, the only person left in the house above us, must be the mysterious woman. who had established so embarrassing an espionage upon me. She it was, had no doubt, who had stealthily opened my door upon my first visit to the apartment; who had watched me from the fourth floor front win dow: who had crossed the Drive and tried 10 find out my movements in the park; and who only q little whil" before had pretenied to be looking for dropped coins when my sudden opening Of the door had disclosed her on her knees at the keyhole. If she were the ordinary harmless curiosity-ridden woman, it would be embarrassing to be under any obli- gation 10 her that would give her Q foothold of acquaintance, and If she were something more-my imagin- Iation vas ranging far afield now. caught myself up scornfully as heard voices coming downstairs again. Katie's, that of Mrs. Peters and yes-there was q third feminine voice with the gutteral accents had heard once before on this eventful day.

many deaths from tuberculosis in 1924 as in 1900.
 Diphtheria is disease which the doctors and health officers have learned how to control, provided the people will cooperate. but not otherwise. Based on the rates for 35 states from which reports have hCcn received, it is estimated that thoria in the United States during 1924. But if the 1900 rate had pro vailed. we would have had nearly 50,o0U deaths. If parents woulf have their children Shick tested and have the doctor give the toxin anti toxin treatment to those who are susceptible to the disease, th"r" would not be very much diphtheria let. You may write 10 the surgeon general for literature on diphtheria.

no doubt. It was a voice, but it was one that Peter did not recognize. Never had he heard it before. In l way it reminded him of the rooster up in Farmer Browns hen yard. Could it be that this was the voice of one of those strangers?
 There it was again. Whoever it was, was growing. There was no question about that. Tt must be one of those strangers" cried Peter. Tt must be, because l do not know of any one else who crows. "Tll hur- ny right over there." Away he start ed, lippcrty-lipperty-lip.
 But Peter didn't go far. That voice had been heard by others. Reddy Fox was one. Just in time Peter saw Reddy and squatted down behind a little bunch of grass. Reddy was standing motionless, looking toward the Old Pasture. his black ears cooked forward. Again Peter heard the voice. At once Reddy Fox be- gan to move rapidly toward the Old Pasture, Peter knew just what Red. .dy was thinking. He knew that Reddy was thinking that any one who could crow like that must be good eating. Peter sighed. He would be crazy to go over there now, and he knew it. And he did so want to see and meet those strangers. Peter sat up 10 watch Reddy Fox.
 Again came that growing voice. "Huhi" said Peter. That fellow hasn't any sense. He may be very proud of himself, but he hasn't any sense. No one with any real sense would crow like that and so tell everybody just where he is. I wonder if Reddy Fox will get him. hope Reddy won't until 1 have had a chance 10 see him"
 R. this time Reddy was so far away that he was only red spot. He was no longer moving fast. By this Peter knew that Reddy was near the growing stranger. or, at least, thought he was He listened eagerly for the stranger 10 crow again, but the stranger didn't. Reddy disap- peared in inc Old Pasture. Peter i waited and waited. The voice Of the stranger was not heard again. | Did Rcddy Fox catch him. or didn't 1 he? It seemed to Peter that he would go crazy if he didn't find out.

 You have been quite frank with me-" Morton said. May I be quite as frank with you"" He removed his feet from the table. and leaned to- ward Parrish, on his elbows. Parrish waited.
 May I remark, In passing, that you're an egotistical young ass?"
 There was no heat in Morton's voice. Parrish squirmed in his chair, but did not reply.
 q think you're even bit of a iblockhead." Morton continued, com~ fortahly. "Just how do you expect to improve Miss Morton's condition by quitting my service? Do I under stand that you think highly of Miss Morton?"
 "Of course I do," said Parrish, clearing his throat.
 Then hasn't it occurred to you that so virtuous a young man as yourself should remain near her, to protect her from any contamination that she might receive from me?" Mortons words were icy but his eyes were twinkling q little. Parrish moved restlessly. Morton went on: Tn your story books, did the saintly young knights run away from the dragon, or did they stay and rescue the maiden?" Parrish was one of those men who blush easily, and now his face was brick red. He gulped once or twice, but produced no reply.
 As a matter of fact, Parrish, |" Morton went on, with quiver of Q smile at the corners of his mouth. You really did not want to quit your position at all. You simply wanted to do what little boys do--throw a rock. l and then run away. Isn't that so?"
 Parrish found his voice. "Why- well-maybe that's so. I guess it IS so. l didn't wanJ to quit. but want ed 10 tell you what thought, and ] l didn't think you'd keep me-"

 He swung around in his chair again, and once mere elevated his feet 10 the table. "And you say the people in New Britain were much in- tterested in my young lady friend 2" i Parish was very earnest in his answer Indeed they were. Mr. 1 Morton. They all said it was terrible that you should bring a woman like that 10 New Britain, when Miss Morton lives there. and all." How do they know she was a woman like that'?" asked Morton. People do like to be plaintiff, judge, Jury and executioner, all at the same time, don't they? You tried it your self, Parrish. It must be nice. isn't it.?
 The young man confusedly arose, took his hat and briefcase, and stood uncertainty at the door. Was there anything you wanted me to do?"

 After Parrish had gone, Morton

Hat StNIPS

A famous architect once wrote q ponderous tome upon the rela- iion of q nations hats and a na- tion's homes. He pointed out that the very word hat" evolved from the word hut" which they first rrsemblod. The Hawaiian hat is like Hawaii's grass huts, The tur- bans of eastern church dignitaries like the mosque domes of the east.
 And by the same token, the compact, tiny. cose-titting little turbans Of America, 1926, are modelled after the compact eff ciency suites with every jot and title Of space considered and con served.

Katie often is troublesome problem to me, but on the other hand, in illness or emergency she is a strong buttress against which I often have rested securely. When my jumping nerves began torturing me, after the departure of Lillian with Dicky's niece from tho River side Drive apartment, l realized with a joyous, thankful thrill that my little maid was In the next room.
 I walked to the big doors sepa- rating the two rooms. and found that the effort of opening thom was too much for my twisting nerves.

 But among other American char aceristics, Katie has acquired a really remarkable capacity for bluff. and after her involuntary frightened glance. she went on serenely:
 "Und feex you electric pad or hot water bottle right away, den you go sleep und you be all right ven you wake oop."
 Where she meant to get the ar- pliances she had named, I had no idea, and at the moment was too i'll to care, although under ordinary circumstances l should have antic- ipated and forbidden her impulsiye procedure.

 Sometimes I think that It is all the bunk 10 try 10 keep straight.

 Besides all that might be almost ready for grand opera instead of without hope of ever taking another voice lcsson.'

It was clear 10 Peter that BlaCky the Crow really had seen them. How ever, he couldn't quite believe all that Blacky had said about them; and he still didn't know who they were or where they had come from. Now, Peter Rabbit is possessed of great curiosity, as you all know. To know a little and not know more was more than Peter could stand.
