some sandwiches and ice cream, or something. She said you'd know what to order.
 Does she want me to order the food?" asked Sally: scalding the tea cups. Because I don't know what she wants, or how many people she's | going to have. :. .. ..' I'd better call her up." .,..
 No. you don't have to. She won't have more than ten. She said so," Beau assured her. ''I don't see why she doesn't have them at her own place-but she always says you know how to do everything 50 we'll"
 This was perfectly true. Mabel was always telling Sally what a good housekeeper she was, and how nice ly she did things.
 "Oh. how sweet your table looks!" she would twitter sometimes when she came to Sunday dinner and found fresh flowers on the clean table with its shining glass and sil- yer. Or "Oh, what perfectly darling cushions you've made for your porch chairs! Sally Jerome, you smart thing." t.-.....,.
 And Sally, like most of us human things, was not flattery-proof.
 So now she. said: All right, Beau. I'll get some kind of lunch ready tomorrow night. Only I can't be here. I've a heavy date to go danc- ing with Teddy"
 A swift look of relief passed over Beau's handsome face, but Sally did not see it.
 "How about fruit punch instead of ice-cream?" she asked. and he said that would be "the cats whiskers."
 Beau was always calling things "the cats whiskers" or ''the cats pajamas" or "the cats bathing suit" He would use slang phrase until 1t was worn thin and thread bare-until everybody else in the world had forgotten it. But he al- ways said 1t as if 1t was something brand d-ncw-scmething that had just popped into his brain.
 Mabel who was as sharp as a needle. called him "Beautiful-but- dumb" to his face.
 You're simp and a cuckoo. but I love you anyway" she would say to him. And I'm going to marry you even If l have to keep on work ing to pay the grocery bills!"
 At midnight Millie came home with her hair wind-blown. her eyes misty and dreamy, and a large bunch of common white-and- yellow daisies pinned on her breast.
 Picked these in a field along the road" she said sweetly to Sally, who was still awake and reading in bed. Johnny Davidson took me driving for millions of miles to roadhouse called The Red Mill Ever been there?"
 Sally shook her head. She b..ely heard what her sister was saying.
 How pretty she is!" she was thinking. particularly when she's been out in the air, and the wind has blown some of that rouge and powder off her face. John Nye is sure to fall in love with her. Sure to! Sure as fate"
 Aloud she said: "Millie, I know where there's a good job that you can have if you want it."
 She began to tell her about John Nye and the position Tn John Yves office.

 T have not dare to ask you be- fore" he said. flor you were not eating and feared you were indis- posed, but now that you appear to have recovered your appetite, may we not have the story of your queer new Transvanian neighbors?"
 What keenness his eye possessed! I had flattered myself that I had managed to conceal my neglect of the first courses of the dinner. But he evidently had been watching me more closely than I had dreamed. To cover my confusion I plunged at once into description of the Lin- coins, who had leased The Larches for the season.
 It did not take me long to realize that Philip Neritzen had a curi- ously intense interest ih my story wholly unwarranted by the simple tale of the oddities of my new neigh bors. Lillian was frankly intrigued by the tale, but her face held no ~ ployer who frequently interrupted me to ask for a repetition of some detail of description which I had given
 Oddly enough, 1t was not the de- scription of Eleanor Lincoln, the young chatelaine of The Larches, which had appeared to interest him most. although he had listened most attentively to my account of her, and had asked me to repeat two or three details of her appearance. I knew that he had a very definite picture of the young girl in his mind by the time I had finished. But he paid most meticulous atten- tion to my account of the visit to the farm of the arrogant. ill-man- nered uncle of Eleanor Lincoln, and then when I said that the girls aunt was i'll and could not be seen, he surprisingly said, as If to him. self:

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
(BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN)

(BY DR. MORRIS F1SHBEIN) (Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy-
 geia, the Health Magazine)
 During a period from 1917-1924, about 800 operations were done in New York hospital for the relief of bunions. In this work some 25 sur geons co-operated and one of them has recently reviewed the results of 200 operations performed on 10S pa tients. Ninety per cent of the pa tients were women. Pain was the chief reason for operation in more than half the cases. but one-fourth of them had the operation because the foot was badly reformed by the bunions. Indeed, one of the pa tients had had bunions for S5 years and five of them had had them for more than 20 years.
 Most of these patients had tried wearing broad shoes, arch supports and other devices, fitted by none too competent chiropodists, before they finally decided to have the bunion removed by an operation.
 While the operation is simple, 1t is necessary for the patient to stay in the hospital in bed for from 1o to IS days in order to permit good recovery before an attempt is made to walk on the foot. In most in stances the operation consists in the removal of part of the overgrown bone that is responsible for the pain and the deformity. After the operation patients were able to move the great toe freely in most in- stances, and were free from pain.
 In many instances the bunion may be associated with chronic inflam- nation of the joints that has local ized to a certain extent in the great toe. When this is the case, opera tive removal of the bone does not always insure complete elimination of the condition. A physician who is thoroughly infoymed as to the general condition of the patient is therefore able to decide whether or not the operation may be indicated in any case. The proper selection of the operative procedure in each individual case Is conceived by the New York investigators to be of the greatest importance.

 At Lillian's murmured assertion that there was trouble ahead for me with Philip Veritzen without go- ing out of my way to meet it, l whirled abruptly, facing her.
 "What do you mean?" I asked, forgetting to lower my voice. She put up a quickly warning hand, with a lifting of her eyebrows to- ward the maid at the other end of the room.
 "I'll tell you after we get back to my dear little home nest" she said with a wry grimace at the mocking reference to the small suite of hotel rooms in which she was marking time until her daugh- ter came home from school. But run some whale-bone through your upper lip until then"
 She brushed a powder puff light. ly over her cheek. gave her reflec- ton in the mirror final critical glance and tucked her hand inside my elbow for the walk back to the balcony.

But her cryptic warnings concerning my en- ployer effectually robbed me of ap- petite during the first courses of the most marvellous dinner I ever had been served.
 Gradually. however, I fought my self back to common sense and by the time the fish course, delicately drowned mountain trout, appeared, ! was able to do justice to what Mir. veritzen patently considered one of the triumphs of his feast.
 How do you manage 1t, Phil?" Lillian asked.

Little Miss Curiosity. the runaway little Chuck. had run away straight into . new home. She was up in the kitchen of Farmer Browns house. Yes, hr, that was just where she was. Wouldn't Johnny Chuck and Polly Church. her father and moth- q. have been surprised had they known 1t? There she was all curled 0p in . box behind the stove, paying no attention to Mother Brown, who vas busy about her work. In fact, Little Miss Curiosity was fast Asleep.
 Farmer Browns Boy had gone tack to work in the cornfield. ''Watch out for Black Pussy" he had warned Mother Brown. Don't let her hurt that little Chuck"
 Mother Brown had replied that she wouldn't let Black Pussy hurt the Little Chuck. and Farmer Browns Boy had gone his way. Busy about her work, Mother Brown forgot all about Black Pussy. Per- 1aps I should say. she forgot all about the little Chuck, for later that morning, When Black Pussy asked to come in. Mother Brown opened the door.
 Now 1t happened that at just that time Little Miss Curiosity had awakened Right away she thought of that delicious food she had had before her nap. You will remember 1t was a molasses cookie. She de- cided she would like more of them. So she had just scrambled out of the box in which she had been sleeping, when Black Pussy start ed to so back of the stove. Black Pussy was thinking of a nap.
 Such surprised look as there was on the face of Black Pussy! Then her tail began 10 twitch. My, my. how it did twitch! Into her yellow eyes came a savage look

 It was just then that Little Miss Curiosity discovered Black Pussy. I have told you that she was epunky little Chuck. She had never seen Black Pussy. but somehow she knew instantly that Black Pussy was an enemy. Do you think that little Chuck turned to run away? Not at all. She chattered her teeth. as only a little Chuck can. Then what do you think she dido She made a little rush straight at Black Pussy. Yes, sir. she did so. She ran right straight at Black Pussy, chat tering her teeth and snarling.
 It was all so sudden that Black Pussy didn't have time to think. If she had had time to think things might have ended differently, But she didn't have time to think. She was used 10 having those she tried to catch run away. This little Chuck was running in the wrong direc- ton. All of Little Miss Curiosity's hair was standing right up. which made her look much bigger than che really was. Black Pussy snarl- ed and spit and backed up. Yes, sir.
