' 'T wish you would, Mir. Gull" said Jimmy. T wish you would. I should like to see the fellow"
 "All right" replied Graywing. You wait few minutes and I think I can find one for you" Graywing flew along the beach just at the edge of the water. Back and forth he flew, all the time look ling down with those wonderful eyes of his There Is little missed by IGraywings eyes. Presently he alight- ed on the beach close to the waters edge, and called in that harsh voice of his to Jimmy Skunk. Come over here, if you want to see one of those Ehole-makers at york; said he.
 For once, Jimmy Skunk actually hurried. When he got there, Gray wing showed him a clam, and on the shell of the clam was what Jimmy called a small snail.
 There you are!" said Graywing. "There's one of those hole-makers. I have an idea that he has drilled his hole and is living on that clam now"
 Jimmy just simply stared at Gray wing, You see, he thought that Graywing must be telling him a story. But Graywing didn't seem to be joking. "Why. that's nothing but snail!' Jimmy exclaimed.
 Certainly it's snail. Who said it wasn't?" retorted Graywing.
 But snails cant make holes In anything so hard as a clam shell or an oyster she'll" declared Jimmy.
 "Oh, cant they?" exclaimed Gray wing. Well, perhaps the snails you're acquainted with can't, but this one can" He reached over and picked up the little snail. Sure enough, right whylc the snail had been was a little round hole in the clam shell. As matter of fact, this little snail Is called "The Oyster Drill" And all the oystermen hate it, for next to the starfish, it is the oysters greate.,, enemy It has a queer little tongue covered with tiny. sharp, horny teeth; and with this tongue it drills the holes. Then 1t sucks up the oyster or the clam from inside the shell.

Chiffon.

The rather sombre-looking all- black dinner gown has been replaced by more youthful type of dress featuring the use of brilliant bead trimming. or the combination of one or more contrasting colors. Frocks Of this kind are every bit as prac- tical as an all-black affair and vast ly more effective on account of the contrast of both color and texture.
 A model both practical and chic is sketched today-a very wearable little frock of black chiffon featur- ing deep oval-shaped yoke in flesh color. This light tone in the bodice portion relieves the dress of all appearance of sombreness. It is also more generally flattering than costume in entire black. In this in- stance the light yoke is accentuated by an outline of silver stitching.
 Another most engaging feature is the graceful skirt composed of two tiers of godets. Fluttering also is the bodice portion with it's bolero effect and it's graceful wide sleeves.
 A soft girdle fastened with dia- mond ornaments confines the hips.
 Black lace or chiffon evening gowns are frequently enlivened with touches of flesh color. The black frock sketched today has 8 flesh colored yoke.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. NJ. METZENBAUM

Thousands of cases of contagi- ous disease every summer are di- rectly traceable to infections &C., quired at public bathing beaches and swimming pools,
 These beaches and pools become polluted, sometimes by sewage or stagnant waste that is not washed away, sometimes by persons who are carriers of disease. Such persons may not realize that they are carry ing germs; others are simply care less of the welfare of other bathers.
 Much can be accomplished by cities in the purification of the swimming places. Adequate circula- tion of water should be provided to prevent stagnation. Fathers can be forced to follow a few simple rules. When analysis shows water to be dangerous to health, beaches should be closed.
 Head Above Water
 The individual can do much to protect himself. A safe thing to do in a crowded or public bathing beach is not to dive under water and, as far as possible, to avoid even getting water into the eyes and outer ear canals. It is especially important not to take water into the mouth or have it enter the nose.
 Should the water enter the nose, then don't blow your nose with all might and main, for this might force the polluted water, along with the mucous of the nose up into the sinuses or up into the eustation or ear tubes into the middle ears, re- sulting in an infection of the sin uses of the ears or even causing a mastoid.
 If persons suffering from contagi- ous infection were educated to the dangers to which they are exposing others, many of them would stay away from public pools and beaches.
 Dangerous Then
 Again, these same persons may be suffering no longer from their own recent infection but fall victim to another. They have very little re- sistance to this new germ, and what they would call a relapse. In real ity, however, this is a new infection implanted upon their old one. and these cases usually run a very se- were course,
 The natural question is - should one use an antiseptic wash in his nose after bathing at a public place? The logical answer is-- nev- CT put any liquids into the nose for fear of forcing germs up into the sinuses or into the ear tubes

grant 1t, but l command it. You are new to this work as yet. We must break you in gradually" Again his smile flashed out, illum- mating his dark face so that l agreed with Dicky's estimate of him. as the handsomest, most fascinating man in the city" Then he tapped my sheaf of papers again.
 You have copies of these at home?" he asked.
 Not of the script which you gave me-" I answered, but l have copies of al my own notes."
 q Will Send a Messenger
 He pushed a button upon his desk, and almost immediately there en- tered a slender girl with a face like a Madonna. She had dusky un- ibobbed hair parted in the middle and drawn down over her ears into a classic knot at the nape of her neck. I remembered a gossipy newspaper article I once had read stating that Philip Veritzen, adoring beauty and hating ugliness, would not permit anyone in his immediate entourage who did not possess personal pull .chritude to a marked degree, and re- flected that the appearance of this girl, evidently an under-secretary. bore out the statement,
 Will you please get me copy Of .Bladners Charlemagne script?" he asked. The girl, without speaking. went noiselessly out of the room, re- turning almost immediately with a copy of the scri It from which l had worked. She laid it dpon the table, waited perhaps a second for any further order, then went out again as unobtrusively as she had come. The procedure was typical, l sur missed, of the perfectly oiled ma- chinery which served Philip Ferit- zen, and I felt Ii He thrill of pride that I now held place, temporarily, at least, important, in the famous organization.
 He held out both copies of the script to me.
 "Take these home" he directed, "and copy upon the unmarked one, the numbers you wrote on the one you gave me. That should take you less than an hour. and will be the only thing I shall require of you for a week. I will send a messenger to your home for it tomorrow. Now to the next thing. Can you draw?"

of smile she had given Muriel Kauf- man that afternoon half-pity- ing smile.
 Does Muriel know about all the times you've taken me driving7" she asked him.
 He looked puzzled. He was be- ginning to wonder what she was getting at.
 "Why, no, of course not" he re- piled. q don't let her know about every little thing I pull off. I'm not married to her - yeti"
 But you're going to marry her, aren't you?'
 q guess so," Cabby admitted when I get ready to settle down. But if I want to have a little fun with you in the meantime, it's my business, isn't it?"
 He could not understand why Merry suddenly got up, and laid his orchids down on the table. Good night" she said, I'm going"
 He got up, too. Where are you going. What on earth's the matter Inow?" he demanded. 'Sit down. Sit down till I pay the check, and I'll go with you! Please! Everybody's looking at us"
 Merry sat down and waited until the waiter came with his bill. | Cabby thrust a greenback into his hands and rose. Keep the change" lie said hurriedly, and followed Mer- ry out of the dining room. He had the orchids in his hands, and when he and Merry were out in them to her. But she shook her head.
 NO, I don't want them," she said, with that queer baffling smile on her lips II want you 10 take me home, please"
 In silence they walked back to the parking place.
 ''I'd give a farm to know what ails you" SC said suddenly as they got into the car. When they were almost back to Chester street, Merry told him what Jailed" her.
 "Cabby," she said to him. "1'm just what Muriel said I was - to you, at any rate! And I'll never go anywhere with you again." | He did not answer. You tell me you're going to marry Muriel," she went on, but in the meantime .ou're perfectly will ing to have a little fun with me- as you call it. We'll, you may think you are. but you aren't! I'll never go any place with you again, unless you're willing to let Muriel Kaufman and all the rest of the town know it."
 Her shoulders sagged under her new spring coat as she went up the front steps and let herself into the dark house that was no longer home.
 Long after she was in bed, Muriels words came back to her, and rang in her ears: This is the kind of thing you've been doing all your life - sneaking around on the sly with some fellow who wouldn't be seen dead with you if his own crowd were around not even an old grand daddy like Bill Erskine would have you on a bet!"
 That was what she had said. And Mery hadn't believed it. But now she knew 1t was true. Absolutely true.
 She lay there in the darkness, too | heartsick to even cry. ITO RE CONTTNTTFD1 Merry makes an extraordinary discovery in the next chapter, some- thing that sends her to Cassie in rage.

 was grateful that Philip Veritzen had turned away from me to lay the sheaf of papers on the table when he had voiced the flattering but embarrassing comment upon my appearance. It enabled me to pull myself together, but it was query which I put to him in my scrambled haste to prete,-d that had not heard his encomium.
 "What do you wish me to under take next, Mir. Ver'tzen?" l heard myself asking in a thin far-away voice.
 He turned and surveyed me smil- ingly.
 Nothing for a week" he said while I mentally banished to the limbo of falsehoods the comments l had heard as to his being a merci- less taskmaster. Rest and do any thing you like" he went on. There Is internal evidence here"-he tap ped the shesf of papers-"that you have not adhered strictly to union hours, and you will be in far better shape for your next task If you rest now"
 Nadge Gets & Holiday
 There was that in his smile which fold me that this man who never spared himself, and who was reput- ed to hold all who served him to the same relentless regime, understood and appreciated the whole-hearted aplication I had given to my task. It was an understanding and appre- citation for which I cared far more than for the prospect of a weeks s rest although my tired nerves made that prospect a most welcome one.
 "Of course, you understand" MT. yerftzen went on. and subtly his tone no longer was invested with the personal tone, but held his for mer brisk authority, that if we were in the throes of an immediate pro- duction, I could not accord you this week. Then we all work not till we drop, for no one does that, "-sud- denly I glimpsed the contempt Of the man for anything short Of hls own iron will and nerves-"but until the task is fully done and we have cared our rest. This pet production of mine, however, for which l have planned so long, is to be leisurely thing. I am rewarding myself with it, and I do not intend to hurry it. Therefore. you can take your week with a clear conscience. I not only
