 Craving made quick turn and came over to where he could look down on Reddy and what Reddy was Joking at. He seemed actually to stand still in the air right over Red- div. Well" said he, what is it?"
 "That's what I want to know. What is it?" retorted Reddy.
 "That? Why, that's nothing but a Horseshoe Crab, sometimes called a King Crab, though what for l haven't the slightest idea" replied Graywing.
 "Crab!" exclaimed Reddy. "That thing crab? Why, there's nothing to it but shell and legs. Where it's body?"

 Well, it's there, just the same, whether you can see 1t or not" re- piled Graywing. Seeing that it's so hard for you to believe things, l suppose it is a waste of breath for me to tell you that these crabs dig holes in the sand in which to lay their eggs"
 "No," said Reddy, "it isn't a waste of breath. I'm getting now where could almost believe a fish could build nest"
 Graywing chuckled at that "All right, Reddy," said he, I'm glad to hear you say it."
 Reddy looked at Graywing sus- piciously. "Why?" he demanded.
 "Because," replied Graywing, "there is a fish that builds nest" Copyright, 1926, by T. w. Burgess)

 Luncheon - Open cream cheese sandwich, jelly roll cake, maple fluff.
 Dinner-Roast leg of lamb, mint jelly potato marbles in parsley but ter creamed carrots, cucumber sal ad, whole wheat bread, peach mousse, plain cake, milk, coffee.
 This is 8 delicious company din- ner for summer and with the ex- ception of the salad the youngest member of the family who comes to the table may partake of all the dishes. This is worth considering when for children additional work and confusion is the result.
 Maple fluff is a delicious, nourish- ing beverage for a particularly hot and busy noon.

Fighting Hay Fever

keep their windows closed while asleep to keep out as much of the pollen as possible.
 Naturally persons with hay fever suffer unusually severely with nasal conditions and are anxious to avoid colds. This they should do by seeing that they are kept properly warm and dry, and not too greatly exposed to the weather. Over-exer- else with precipitation and rapid cooling may make the condition much more severe.
 Hot, dry, or sultry days should not necessarily affect hay fever symptoms, but if the tissues of the nose are dried out, reactions seem more severe.
 Following a rain. patients some times feel better. usually due to the fact that pollcns have been brought down to the ground so that they do not fly in the air, and also by elimi- nation of dust which acts as an added irritant.

Consider the Decorative Possibili- ties of Fringe When Planning
 Fall Street Ensemble.

If you are puzzled about a trim 1 ming for your new street ensemble, consider the ornamental possibilities of narrow rows Of matching fringe. In addition to providing a smart decorative note, this type of trim ming is useful in giving motion 10 the silhouette.
 It has been used with unusually good results on the three piece street costume sketched today Here rows of matching fringe trim the lower portion of the coat and sleeves, as well as the skirt section of the tunic dress. Additional effect is gained by using the fringe diag- onally in place of the stereotyped horizontal placing.
 This practical costume is made of Titan brown faille crepe combined with silk, in a light copper color The long, straight coat is made of the darker material, and the dress Of the lighter shade. For additional ornament on the bodice 1 have used row, of gold ball buttons down the center front.
 Although the lines of the coat are straight, there is an appearance of flare and flutter owing to the sway ing rows of fringe.
 Faille crepe in two shades of brown makes this early fall street ensemble. Both coat and dress are trimmed with narrow rows of fringe.

Madge Gives Katherine a Tip on
 Dr, Meredith,

had the eerie feeling that I was watching something sentient in its final death thross, as I saw the lovs-letter Hal Meredith had writ ten to Katherine twisting and black ening in the flame to which my lit- tie kinswoman had given 1t.
 For it was a love-letter. despite its carefully phrased sentences in which no endearing word, no revel- ation which could embarrass Rather inc was given. But when I read it, I received so vivid an impression of a mans poignant heart anguish that l felt as if I had been peering unlawfully into a momentarily un- guarded sanctuary.
 Katherine's voice, strained, al- most raucous, brought me back to reality.
 Will you give him the message he asks for, that I have received this?"
 "Of course" I said, trying to make my tone as matter of fact as possible. for I saw that Katherine was perilously near the breaking point. Indeed the next moment she gave way to a vehement outburst so unlike her that l stared in amaze ment at her working face and twisted hands.
 How dare hei" she exclaimed. "You can see what he means no matter how cleverly he disguises it. He might just as we'll say-I am soing away for the conventional year of mourning for Lucia, so that there will never be any breath of scandal concerning Ills. Then I am coming back determined that if you are not already divorced, l shall see that you get a divorce and marry mel" You cannot imagine how humiliated and degraded I feel. What have ever done that he should be so confident I would leave my husband for him?"
 .eYou are morbid about this"
 was sure that knew the real reason for this tempestuous out burst, certain that it was rooted in the secret knowledge that though her loyalty still bound her to her husband, she was being swayed re- luctantly but surely by the devotion which Hal Meredith had poured out upon her. But the tragedy Of Lucia's death had intensified her natural Puritan horror of such an emotional tangle.

 AS has been shown, hay fever in various parts of the United States is due to the plants polinating in those portions and may be relieved by de- termination of the specific plant, and in some instances by desensitization of the patient.
 In many large cities attempts are now being made to relieve hay fever by systematically cleaning out all vacant lots in which there are weeds that pollinate.
 A survey was made in Chicago and New Orleans as to the vacant lots and the weeds present upon them. The cleaning out of such weeds re- suited in the elimination of much hay fever.
 Persons with hay fever and asthma will probably do well to

You never did or said anything which could be construed into disloyalty to Jack, and Hal Meredith certainly never owed any iot of loyalty to Lucia-yes, know she's dead, but that does not alter the kind of wom- an she was. To my mind, there's only one thing for you to do. Lock the whole episode away from you for a long time, until you can look at it naturally, something which you assuredlv are not doing just now"
 "You're Right, Nadge." |.
 She strengthened herself involun- tariIy, and I knew that l had struck the right note. I knew also that she welcomed the postpone ment of the decision which some time she would have to make.
 You're right, Madge," she said, and I noted that her voice had lost its tense harshness. You're always right, and I'm going to follow your advice to the letter. Only-don't tell me anything about the message you send to Hal or - mention his name again to me-"
 You can count on that" I as- sured her heartily, and then as she turned hesitatipgly toward the door, I spoke imperatively, for I knew nothing was worse for her than re- turning to the breeding introspec- ton which had been hers.
 Did I tell you that had letter from Mary Harrison?" I asked, knowing had mentioned 1t, but that she had been too preoccupied to mo- tice my words.

Each seemed to be chiefly shell-at least, it seemed like a sort of shell. And on the rounded tops were some rather sharp points, like little spikes.
 But the thing that puzzled Jimmy and Reddy was that when they turn ed one over on it's back there didn't seem to be anything inside that shell except legs. Yes. sir, 1t seemed to them that it was simply shell walking around on seven pairs Of legs. Those legs were something like the legs of the crab.
