Nan stared at him. In all her life
she had never had any one speak to
her like this. A brief word flashed
across her mind. Wedlocked. Closed
into marriage with a man she didn't
iove
And then she remembered some
thing. Her eyes suddenly kindled.
Finishing her cordial, she put the
glass on the tray and lighted a
cigarette She did this deliberately,
too. knowing quite well that Martin
did not like it. He would have pre-
ferred her to wait while he kindted
the match and held it for her. The
women in his set We're like that.
She inhaled deeply and then faced
him deliberately.

thing to do with Martins present
mood. 1t annoyed him to be reminded
of her
He thought of her as a silly little
fool who didn't know her own mind.
During their interview that evening
he had almost told her so and he had
refused to take her case unless she
did exactly as he told her.
But Mans reference to client of
his, even though that client had done
such an unconventional thing as come
here to the apartment, angered him
still more.
1t wasn't as if she didn't know that
he loved her. She had married him
knowing that. And he had done
everything for her and for the child.
She could have no reason for doubt
ing him.
But knowing that she did not care
for him. and having her go here and
there without him, particularly with
attractive men. was a different thing.
If he had been sure Of her love-yes.
In that case he could fling defiance at
the world.
But she didn't love him and was
bored with his friends. He couldn't
lose her. not il he had to hold her
by force.

which resembles a fit of delirium? II
after our union he should cease to
love me, will he not reproach me with
what he will have sacrificed for my
sake"
The ardent lover to whom Josephine
referred was the young Corsican
Napoleon Bonaparte-then 2s years
old-who had asked her to be his wife
Josephine's first husband had been
executed during the French RevOlu
ton. She herself had been in prison
but the day before the time set fOr
her execution new revolution had
occurred, and Robespierre, who haG
caused Josephine's imprisonment, had
himself been guillotined. SO Josephine
was freed and, indolent aristocrat
though she was, endured with her
children the hardest sort of poverty
Later she sent her son, Eugene, tC
Napoleon, then in command of troops
in Paris, to ask him to see that his
fathers sword should be returned tC
him. The sword was returned. and
the beautiful Josephine went to Ma
poIeon to thank him for this favor.
The young man was apparently
drawn to her from the first. After q
short courtsihp they simply presented
themselves before a magistrate and
then announced their union. Josephine
is described at this time as possessing
a rather dark complexion. She was
rather faded, as who can wonder after
all she had been through. but art had

A little while ago I endeavored to
bring to your attention the sad status
lof the title Professor" This title,

smile now at the fellow who has the

morous nickname, because In recent
years so many merchants, mendicants
and mountebanks have appropriated
the title that no one knows what 1t
stands for and it's Original significance
Is now lost. No longer can stranger

this art may be concerned. and as for
doctors of divinity. law or philosophy.
| why. nowadays they seem reluctant
to use the title. and even in the medical
profession there is a growing sentl-

who SO highly prize 1t.
1t is a curious thing. or SO 1t seems
to me. that the very charlatans who
so loudly insist, when threatened with

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Change of Feeding Schedule.

Mrs. r. NJ. NJ. writes: when my
boy is Is months I am expecting an
other baby and l would like to put
the older one on three-meal-a-d day
schedule. SO tha it will be easier for
my mother when l so to the hospital.
How shall l so about this?'
Answer: Your boy is now getting
only milk at s o'clock and is getting
his cereal at 10. Combine these two
meals. giving cereal and milk at the
s o'clock breakfast. Give orange
juice some time during the morning.
Then at noon give coddled egg, or
small piece of meat; sieved vegeta-
bles. or vegetable soup: custard and
glass of milk, or fruit sauce and
glass of milk. This gets in all his
necessities in three meals, with the
fourth meal only glass of milk.
Mrs. d. w. B.: Your baby has
made an adequate gain in weight,
considering that it was premature
baby and much under average
weight. This September it would be
wise to begin weaving, and if she
will take milk from a cup, start feed
ing her milk that way and don't
insist on the bottle. The main disad.
vantage of cup feedlng Tor young
babies is that they seldom will take
all the milk they should have when
they have to drink from a cup. For
baby under l year Of age a bottle
is comfort and a convenience.
1 suppose baby who wakens
easily at every sound is possibly
more nervous than the sound sleep
er, though this ability carries
through to adulthood and all light
sleepers are not nervous. Keep the
baby cool. A lightweight band,
diaper and thin slip are enough
when the weather is so hot. Add
moro clothes when the temperature
sinks.
Mrs. M. H.: You are using an
excessive amount of sirup with the
boys feeding formula. Perhaps
maltose, Az tablespoonful a day,
would be more laxative. Use the
number which is prescribed for con-
stipation. Don't think of starting
castor oil or any other medicine.
These only encourage constipation.
The habit of giving laxatives to chill
dren on general principles is re-
sponsible for lot of unnecessary
constipation.

CHAPTER Nj.
The Quarrel.

Deliberately she took another sif
N her creme de menthe.
Nan was proud. She hated being
h,,estioned as though she had done
something wrong. He had tried tc
make his question sound casual. but
h1st the same there had been an edge
10 his voice. 1t gave her a smother
ing sensation as If she couldn't escape
from him. Martin and his money
finged her all about. She would
break away from him even now If II
weren't for Muriel
Martins fury mounted still higher
He felt that she was defying him.
He had an impulse to so over and
take the glass from her hand TO make
her meet his eyes. to force the truth
from her as he so often had from
persons on the witness stand.
But he controlled himself and a
moment later he was glad he had.
Nan met his eyes frankly. She had
nothing 10 hide.
"I went TO a tea at the Grays."
"Those people we met the other
night?"
Yes"
did you so alone"
As Martin spoke Nan felt like a
witness being probed for testimony.
It made her resentful. Martin had
no right TO speak 10 her in that cold,
calculating voice. She had done no
harm.
He watched her small chin lift
proudly and hes lips draw into a
straight line. Her nostrils quivered
slightly. She was angry.
'No. didn't go alone. stephen and
Willis Dean dropped by for me and
Willis brought me home, 1 used to
pose for him in the old days"
She spoke the words simply and he
knew she was telling the truth. But
the emotional outburst between them
earlier in the evening had unnerved
Martin. Not only that, but he was
remembering his feeling the other
night at the st. Clairs'.
These people of the artistic world
liked Nan, but they resented him. He
had felt it the other night and now he
was sure OF ii, because he hadn't been
included in the invitation to the
Greys'.'s
Not that he cared. Why should he
care? But he didn't intend to have
Nan accept invitations where he was
not included. Furthermore, he did
not intend to have any more men

How casually she said. 81 used to

tin had never resented Mans old call
ing as he had this minute. It seemed
cheap and tawdry.
He finished his brandy and poured
himself another. Then he spoke. His
voice was very smooth.
"I see."
Nan answered him impulsively.
mo, you don't, Martin. You don't
bee at all. You're angry with me-"
"I'm angry at the idea of having
strange men call for you and bring
you home-you. I'm angry at your
wish to attend affairs where am not
included"
His voice was like steel. In that
moment she almost hated him.
Nan stared at him. She could
hardly believe that he was serious.
But there was no doubt that he was.
She had never seen his face wear such
an expression.
After a moment she spoke.
you really mean that I am not to
have any friends unless they are your
friends, too?"
II do; but, most Of all, / mean that
I won't tolerate this loose business of
playing around here and there with

A new system of grouping exhibits
will mark the industrial exposition oil

1t has been decided by the execu.
tive committee of the chamber, which
is in charge of plans for the third
annual event to be held from March
8 to 10 at the Washington Audi.
forum, that the interests of both the
exhibitors and the public will be
served better by placing kindred ex'
hibits together.
The scheme would be instanced by
makers and distributors of various
items of Office equipment being placed
together rather than have a type
writer concern between booths of,
perhaps, domestic appeal, Those in
charge believe that the exhibitor will
better be able TO display his products
to advantage under this system. while
those who visit the annual survey of
commerce and industry in the Ma.
tional Capital will find the things in
which they are most interested
grouped where they can he viewed
with a saving Of time and effort.
Following this idea Of grouping ex.
hibitors, it was stated at exposition
headquarters that associations com.
prising those engaged in various lines
of business have been invited en- masse
to participate. Instead of touching
merely phases of an industry or com.
mercial line, 1t is hoped to arrange
displays that will sketch the whole
field of various departments Of indus.

I'VE hope TO be able to offer for
public inspection exhibits that will be
more comprehensive than in any
previous exposition through combin.
ing them according to group plan, u
said President Leese in announcing
the new scheme that will prevail
1T should be more satisfactory for
all concerned, and offers opportunity
for planning exhibits that formerly
were not possible. Through grouping
exhibitors and their products, we will
be able to set UP many displays that
will have distinct educational values,
in that they will sketch rather clearly
processes and phases of industrial or
commercial concerns that are not gen
orally known"
