into the city and stay awhile?"
 Il surely must" he told her. and I saw that against his cooler judg- ment he was believing what he wanted to believe-that Lillian was accepting the telegram without question.
 "When do yoI have to start?"
 T ought to get out tomorrow"
 Count me in on that. my cab bage," Dicky struck in. ''l ought to SO up to town tomorrow for g week anyway. I'll drive you up in my old bus. want to lay 1t up in the service station for . general over hauling
 The mercury in my mental ther- mometer suddenly rose from the zero mark to which 1t had dropped at Dicky's announcement of his de- parture. If he were going to lay his car up he could not be planning the drives with Edith Fairfax, the vision of which had so tormented me.

 "How long will you be gone?"
 "I haven't the slightest idea" her husband told her. But you may count on one thing. I'll sneak time enough away from Benny to get back here and drive you and Marion down to her school. But I'll talk to you about that and about your driving the new car when I come back. Come on. Dicky-bird. flap your wings in the direction of the car. want to get down to that telegraph office"
 Lillian looked after the retreating car with amused but tender eyes.
 'The darling old liar" she ssid, But love him for it, Madge."
 And there was that in her voice which set my doubts at rest con- cerning the depth Of the affection Lillian Underwood bore her hus- band.

Too
 Like Clothes
Headquarters Seems the
 Center of Style.

New York, Oct. 12 R-Women this year. more than ever before perhaps, have entered wholehearted- ly into a national political campaign working side by side with husbands, brothers and sons, and working hard and long. But they're still women and still love beautiful clothes.
 Sometimes about democratic na- tional headquarters one will see a slim, fastidious-iooking little person who is generally conceded-by wo- men ''tn the know"-to be one of the best dressed women politicians in the country. She is Mrs. Daniel O'Day. vice chairman and for few weeks during the summer chairman of the democratic state committee.
 It isn't that Mrs. O'Day has to many changes of costume. but what Combintions of black and white she wears mostly and she always carries fan in her purse. While another woman might smoke or toy with a handkerchief. Mrs. O'Day sits and fans herself.
 Another well-dressed woman is Mrs. Caspar Whitney, chairman Of the national committee of women working for the election of Cover nor Smith. Mrs. Whitney appeared at democratic headquarters on her return from a trip to the Pacific coast in decidedly smart black flat crepe gown, with silver fox scarf thrown carelessIy about her shoui- ders.
 Miss Gertrude Ely of Bryn Mawr, Pa, affects sports clothes--tailored tweeds. with bright scarfs, becoming 10 her slimness and her flashing dark eyes.
 But we'll dressed though they may be. one seldom hears these women talking about clothes. They're too busy for that in the women's section of democratic headquarters these days.

Health Hints

BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN Editor Journal Of tha American
 Medical Association and of Hy-
 geia. the Health Magazine
 When it was discovered that ethylene gas used in industry for aiding the rapid ripening of fruits and vegetables had anesthetic prop critics, it became one of the most popular anesthetics used in Ameri. can surgery. replacing to con- siderable extent the use of ether, chloroform and nitrous oxide oxygen or laughing gas.
 The attention given to this sub- stance caused doubts in the minds of some investigators as to whether or not the rapid ripening of fruits and vegetables by this artificial means would not interfere seriously with the content of vitamtns. It seemed reasonable that the develop ment of the vitamin might be . gradual process associated perhaps with exposure to sunlight or other agencies available in natural ripeu- ing.
 Tests With Celery
 Following this suggestion work CTS in the University of Maine un- dertook experiments with ethylent in the ripening of celery. Dr. M. F. Babb tested the celery ripened by ethylene as compared with cel- cry ripened in the natural manner. The methods of the modern in- vestigator are of interest. Young rats of the same litter which weighed about the same amount were put on diet free from vita- min B. It is known that under such a diet the animals tend to de- velop symptoms which are definite evidence Of vitamin B starvation. , These animals were then fed with ethylene ripened celery and with that ripened in the natural manner. The results indicated that artificial ripening with the gas is not injurious to the vitamin B con- tent of the celery.
 Other Vegetables
 l As in all other scientific experi- ments the results with celery can- i not be taken as a generalization to be applied 10 the effects Of ethylene on all other fruits and vegetables. 4 Tomatoes are also being artificially ! ripcned by ethylcne and oranges are 1 being given a rapid cultivation by I exposure to this gas.
 It will he worth while to discov ! CT whether cthylenc ripened toma toes can compare with sun ripcned i tomatoes in Hitamn content, and whether or not tho oranges gre in- iured in any way ny the artificial method. Such experiments will have 10 be made on living animals.

Harry L Certain That Lillian

 q the Schwartsman Telegram
 I saw Harry Underwood glance sharply at his wife as she told him of the telegram messengers appar- ent stupidity. knew that there was but one question sounding insistent- ly in hts brain. Had he succeeded in making the telegram plausible, or did Lillian suspect the ruse he had employed to leave Marion and her self together during the remainder of the young girls vacation?
 He knew-no one better-the keen perceptions and resourceful- ness Of his wife. He also knew her power of dissimulation. and l guess ed that it was pad quarter of d minute instead of an hour he was putting in, as he stood drowning down at the telegram in his hand.
 Anything I can do. old man?' Dicky stuck in. in apparent ignor- ance of the whole episode. But was sure that the telegram and it's reply had been concocted while the two men were absent upon their un to the village in the forenoon.
 No, thank you" MT. Underwood replied, ''unless you want to come down and stand by me while l wreck that telegraph office. That other telegram l sent was an inn portant one-Government business. Lil," he tosesd the words casually in his wife's direction-"andI l suppose they've got the answer confused with this. and think they've deliver ed the right one. The devil only knows what they'll do with the other answer which will be in code"
 He was . magnificent Ananias, told myself, but trifle weak in his explanation of the procedure in tele- graph offices. However, nobody cared. If only he could be convinced that Lillian believed his fiction.
 Then you'd better go down and check up on 1t immediately" Lillian said calmly. Tell me first, is this telegram from Schwartzman as im- perative as it sounds? Must you so

(BY ROSA PONSELLE)
 There sometimes is very great mistake made by the young singer which spoils her songs success. and that is singing Q song in key un- suited to her voice. If 8 song ts even a half tone too low or too high for her the difference it makes is as the difference between day and night.
 Of course. every song chosen by . singer should lie comfortably in her voice, that is, we'll within tho range she sings at ease. But se- lecting . song in the right key above all others. calls for the very best tones in her voice. Conse- quently, she is heard at best advan- tage.
 There is not an experienced prima donna before the public but pays heed to this fact: when she has a cold or does not feel in the best of voice. she takes a slightly lower key: if in brilliant condition she takes higher one. The chief consideration ts that the song should be given as well as she can give 1t in the circumstances
 There also is another safeguard to be considered by the young singer in choosing the key of her song. Until she is thoroughly ex- perienced in appearing in public. the top notes which she barely reaches in private will prove unre- liable when singing to an audience.
 In the latter case, with so much to distract her attention at the moment, she should not attempt all. but less than she can do. She may, indeed. take risks and get through by chance. but she is more apt to make unfortunate tones that will be unhappily remembered by her and by her listeners.
 In this case the song fails to Ego" because of nervousness failure of the accompanist to support her or anxiety coming on her suddenly about those tones Of which she is not sure. One such experience should put her on her guard in the future, but she does not want that experience even once.
 We hear a lot about "hitching your wagon to & sar." l think there Is a better way of getting ahead than that. Set your limit. but not so high one that few can reach it. When you have attained that limit. set higher one, and so on.
 There is a tremendous satisfaction in going ahead lise that. did not take up singing because I wanted face, but because I wantetd to sing
