Investigators in the department of medicine of Western Reserve University in Cleveland deter mined to make a special study of this factor in relation to the dis. eases mentioned. In tho experi- ment persons were asked to breathe through . jar of calcium extracting moisture from the air.
 The physicians found an in- crease in the vital capacity of the lungs after breathing dry air in A per cent of the patients. show. ing definitely the value of this procedure. Patients with asthma varied in their response to the method, but persons with decom- pensated hearts were quite defi- nitely improved.
 The investigators were con- vinced that the breathing of dry air extracts enough moisture to increase the vital capacity, to de. crease the volume of the lung, and to produce a sense of subjective relief. The test used by the in- vestigators served to differentiate between persons with asthma whose difficulty in breathing was due to moisture in the lung and those whose difficulty lay in more permanent changes.
 According to this test 1t Is pos- sible to tell the patient with asthma whether or not he is of the type that would tend to im- prove in a higher and drier cli- mate.

I saw that even before mad finished my apparently guile les little assurance to Eleanor Lin- coin that I would urge Philip Verit- zen to come down to the east end of the island, and then would en- gineer . meeting for her with the famous theatrical producer. My husband was not able to avoid con ,racting his bro~s in . sudden black frown. even though a second later his face apparently was de- void of any emotion save pleased assent to what l was saying. But ] had seen that sudden anger. and ] thrilled with the gratified malice of an artistic bit Of revenge. For I was convinced by now that Dicky's offer to Miss Lincoln of my serv- ices as an Intermediary between her ambitions and Philip Neritzen's well-known determination to inter view no theatrical aspirants, was gratuitous slap at me. malicious whi,nsy. inspired by his dislike of Mir. veritzen, and his rancor at me on account of my work with the great theatrical producer.
 But there was no consciousness of any tension in Eleanor Lincoln's retoinder to my proposition.
 That will be most-wonderful." she said enthusiastically "How can I ever thank you? Will It be very long before he comes down?"
 That I cannot tell you" I said. smiling "Mr. Neritzen is q very tusy man and rather an cratic one. But I imagine it will not be very long. perhaps q week of two. You are going to be here some time, are you not?"

 Really? You amaze me-" she re- turned, and then with an apparent sudden thought added. Would you like to stroll through the grounds 2"
 "Very much. indeed" I replied, and rose with her. With punctilious courtesy. she kept close to me and Dicky ranged himself upon her other side. leaving Noel and Mary to follow behind us. an arrangement which fancied our imperious young hostess did not relish, but which of course. she was powerless to change for the moment.
 We sauntered around the veranda which ran almost around the house. until We came to flight of steps leading down into what once had been sunken garden. and in which there were still brave old fashioned hardy plants and rose bushes, giving mute evidence of the beauty which once had been there.
 l caught my breath as l saw what lay beyond the garden, and said quietly:
 May we not stand here a sec ond. This is exquisite"
 She shrugged her shoulders ever so slightly. and I saw that the view which so filled me with ad- miration, held little attraction for her. But my eyes travelled over the sweep of dark evergreens extend- ing from the corner of the house to the edge of tiny lake. then curv- ing around it so tha; the sparkling water and the rare lilies in bloom upon it's surface were framed in dark green.
