powdered her face and neck

The trip to Nevada stuck In
her mind always as one long
bridge party.
Morning, noon and night she
and Steve played bridge with
Sheila and Joe Rocciter in
Sheila's drawing room. At half
past eleven or twelve the four
Of them would start the day
with some kind of a drink

called them.
At one or two o'clock they
would have lunch. Then they

Forbes snorted with indigna-

Gordon didn't know just. what

to see that even Dulcy was
Speechless.

He stepped iNto the drawing
room, closed the door behind
him and took her in his arms.
He kissed her long and ardently.
IF you only knew how I'VE
worried about getting you on

he let her go at last. IF you
only knew how I've. held my

They went into the next car,

Then she was gone, leaving

Df the tiny green-plush room,
looking at the mirrors and the
wash-bowl and the stack of new
magazines.
All at once she was fright

Patterson seemed unwilling to

Forbes grew suspicious, his mind
racing ahead with ideas Of bust
ness enemies plotting to ruin
him.
Must be something pretty
important for Van Dyke to send
for you to come down here at

termined to know the worst. He
was convinced now that Patter-
son had come down to draw

tween Van Dyke and Gordon.
Until this moment Forbes had
not admitted, even to himself,
how much he had counted on
taking the young man into bust
ness with him.
Forbes saw a faint chance of
forestalling their business deal
when Van Dyke astrolled casu-

Measles
Measles in a very mild form seem
to be prevalent among the children
of this place and vicinity. Boys and
girls who have been attacked seem
only to remain in the house only
day or so at the least.
The writer remembers when he
was a boy that measles in those
days were something to be reckoned
with. You were sent to bed and
there put between blankets and,
drinking all the hot water you pos
sibly could, to produce a sweat
which they said would bring the
measles to the surface.
1t is a great wonder that many
who were afflicted with the disease
did not die, not from the measles,
but from the treatment which doc
tors in those days prescribed. Today
how different nOw-yOu are al

can drink, and as consequence the
disease soon comes to the surface

The lesson of Sunday was entitled
Jesus Acclaimed AS King" This
was a description of the triumphant
entry of Christ into Jerusalem a few
days before His crucifixion. Seated
as the Master was on this occasion
on colt, His very bearing was of
such an exalted nature that the null
titude spread their garments in the
way and cut branches from the
trees which theyalso placed in the
way, and exclaimed as in one voice
HOsanna to the Son of David. Bles-
sed is he that cOmeth in the name
OF Lord. Thus was Jesus proclaimed
King by the great crowds which fol-
lowed Him into the city. Was He
really King? Yes and more. He
was King of thTOngs and Lord of
Lords 4Le classes seemed to catch
the drift of the lesson and it brought
out much discussion, but the general
Oninion was that Christ was really
King, as He said, but perhaps not
the kind of a King which the people
in those days expected.
The class meeting which followed
the session of the church school
was a season of great enjoyment
for those present. The leaders topic
was Mother" He tried to picture
and bring out the old fashioned mo-
ther of long ago and the old fash
ioned way she had in the care and
bringing up the young under her
care, which if, pursued in this day,
would be better for the world at

Another thing, the Minter type has

is a type which even Mary Pickford

asset to warrant such move.
He is a Hollywood playboy. And his
wife went East to visit her family. He
had some high times in her absence.
There were parties at the Spanish home
with the rustling banana palms in the
moonlight.
There were parties, as I said. But
there was very light housekeeping af-
terward. Bottles accumulated. And
other signs of gayety. The playboy set
tied his fancy on little dancer. Oh,
there were very high times.
Then wife telegraphed she was home
ward bound, the lad took an entire day,
and, with an army of Orientals, re-
stored the ancestral castle to its shining
splendor. They made a good job of it.
He met his wife at the station Es-
corted her to perfect abode, kissed
her on the brow and departed for the
studio.
Perfect" he conf1ded to friends who
had shared some of the high times and
who were bit timorous as to results of
the wife's Homecoming. "Perfect-if I
do say so, I'm diplomat"
But the next day his downcast coun-
tenance moved them to few inquiries
How come" said they, this flock of

I to know the first thing she'd do would
be to dump the vacuum cleaner bag
and find it full of blond hair?"
