 T suppose I ought to be proper and send them all back" she told herself, and she set them on the glass shelf in the bathroom. But I'm not going to-"
 It represented about $50-that shelf-when she had put all the things upon it.
 T hope Pat won't notice all of them" she thought. If he docs he's sure to scold me for being so ex- travagant-"
 But Pat did not notice them. He was working harder these days than he ever had before. and he seemed to be too busy and too tired to notice much of anything or any body.
 He gave Lily quick, careless seeming kisses when he left the flat In the morning, and he returned late at night to fall asleep over tho sports pages of the evening paper. Not even Gene Tunneys articles kept him awake. This" said Lily to herself. some times. watching him from the other side of the room, lis the joy of be- ing married!

 Slowly she was getting herself into a highly dangerous mood-a mood of discontent and disgust And in the midst of 1t. one windy, wet October morning, came letter from Staley Drummond, asking her to meet him the next afternoon!
 It had no beginning and ho end. t was simply a paragraph typed upon a plain white sheet of office paper.
 II am wondering how you are," 1t read, "and what you are doing-and if you would like to see me one tenth as much as I would like to see you tomorrow afternoon at five o'clock in the place where you met me couple of weeks ago. Did the manicure scissors and the cold cream do any good?"
 That was all. But 1t set Lily's heart to beating as it never had raced before for Staley Drummond. In the gray level of unevent- full days this was wildly exciting.

BEAUTY How and Why
KEEPING THE HANDS IMMACULATE
 By Ann Alyeig

No hand that is stained or srimy may make any pretension to beau- ty, no matter how well shaped 1t may be. But no matter how poorly shaped, If the hand is immediately clean, the texture of the skin good. the nails we'll shaped and in good condition, it may be adjudged beau- tiful.
 Use hot water. toilet soap of good quality, and a good hristle brush as your first step toward this scrupulous cleansing. Do not economize on soap, for poor soap will intensity any skin trouble you may. have or may start such trou. ble by roughening the skin and no preparing the way for unfriendly germs.
 If deep-seated grinle remains. apply cream with an oily base. That is, the solvent should be in the nature of a cold cream and not of cleansing the hands. 1t ts not necessary to buy an expensive cream. Vaseline. or an oil such as liquid petrolatum. cotton seed. or olive, will serve the purpose just as we'll.

 In the back wall of the nasal pas sages is lymphatic tissue usually called adenoids.
 When the adenoids become in- fected and swollen they block breathing by the nose. the mouth ts kept open and the person afflict- ed not infrequently has as re- suit a stupid expression.
 AS result of continuous mouth breathing. the face is likely 10 de- velop an unusual appearance. the upper lip shortened and turned out, the lips thickened. and a line formed between the cheeks and the lips.
 May Cause Ear Infection
 Because of an infection ill the adenoids, germs pass up the tubes that connect the throat to the ear and there is likely to be an infec- ton of the internal and middle ear cavities.
 Since the nose is blocked, the speech of child with adenoids is nasal in tone: the child is restless at night and not infrequently snores, gasps and losses about be- cause of the difficulty in breathing. Difficulty in breathing. further more. may interfere with the de- velopment of the chest cavity which becomes narrow and flat. There is no fancy cure for the prevention or treatment of infected and swollen adenoids. A compe- tent physician can remove these by minor operation and the im- rrovement that follows removal seems to the average parent almost miraculous.

But, though he travelled fast. he continually used that splendid little nose of his. He had no intention of overlooking any meal on the way. So at last he came to the edge of the Green Forest and to the old stone- wall that runs along one side of the Old Orchard. He bounded up on the old wall and for a moment sat up in the same way that Happy Jack the Squirrel sits up.

tention of closing the stations at Syl-
