COLDS
 By far the most common of hu- man ailments is the common cold.
 And bcc&uGr it is so widespread it would seem that we ought to know q great deal about it. We do-in q certain @cnSc-and yet as to it's cause there are many opinions, few of which are backed by convincing sci entiric proof.
 Perhaps the difficulty is that there is no single cause.
 Tho common cold has many caus- cs. In fact, q cold is not disease in the restricted ccnae of the word. Rather, what We commonly call q | cold is a group of symptoms, associ- atcd with number of diseases. SrccZing, coughing, watering eyes and a running nose are the body's response to aa irr;;&nt. But the irri- tant may b. pepper, or dust, or your i first ci~arct. or again, some danger | ous germs fighting to invade your | body.

HOLDING THE FLOOR By Alice JudSOn Pealc

 At the grand tea room lunch table J

| care Of me any more, if you kne% about it. He was all funny looking white around his nose and mouth. i l thought he was goin' to die or something. He said I'd never heard him say anything like that before. and that I'd never hear him say 1t again, and ne made me promise wouldn't remember it and never ould say it, But 1 couldn't keep Junior explained naivcly, "becau, e the words were so queer and so mad-like But l never did say it till today, and now I've broken my promise to Jerry"
 I saw that the tears were very near the surface. and l did not want their complication in the problem before me.
 Put you won't break it again, I'm sure,' I said soothingly. Bot tell me. d,d you say little while ago that Jerry asked you not to tell ma about his saying the words?"
 "Yr:'" Junior answered, winking rapidly, but past the emotional danger point. He said it wouldn't do anybody any good to tell, if l never said the words again. But ae said if l ever forgot and said the words and you asked me where ] got 'cn, then l was to tell you. And ! then he said It would be time for him to pull up stakes and run away, for you'd never let me see him again. That isn't true is it Mother?
 Trying Not to Cry
 His face was twisting with the ef- 1 fort not to cry and l answered him promptly.
 ! No dear, we won't say anything | to Jerry about this It shall be your secret and mine and Roderick's- unless-did anybody else, Grandpa or anybody near you say the words?"

 "Yes Junior" I said. q know thc rest, but before l say anything moro to you about 1t, want to bring Roderick in here. I've talked to hiG1 and I don't think he is angry no" any more than you are"

others; avoid excess fatigue, over work and physical exhaustion; do not allow yourself to become chilled: dress according to the weather; and keep your feet dry.
 If you should. despite these pre- cautions, develop a cold, remember two guiding principles: The best place to fight cold is in bed and do not drug yourself.
 When you are really in need of medicines, you need more than that, you need medical attention. When a cold fails to yield to rest in bed, hot baths and light fluid diet, it is good sense and better economy to call a doctor.

Brussels, Jan. "A trousseau fit for a princess" has been the dream of every bride since time immemorial.
 Marie-Jose, little princess of Bel gium, more than realizes the most extravagant of those dreams in her lavish rousseau. for not only are her innumcrable things regal 1T, their sumptuous beauty, but every thread of the multitudinous lace trimmings, every stitch of her doz- ems of costumes, hats, shoes, wraps, accessories and household linens, have been put in with loving care and great skill of devoted Belgians who adore their princess.

 Mirthful curiosity was my Chici emotion as I put my ear down tc Juniors lips at his request to hCaI the "nawful name" which he ha; said he had applied to RodcricB during their quarrel.

 "Oh. no. No!

Up stairs. in the rose-and- gold bah room, the
rest of the town was dancing, or that small
part which Aunt Agnes favored with her script.
engraved invitations. But Harry did not return
And, II he never returned Cissy was thinking,
how little would it matter to her. She unused
pleasantly on this theme: Useless young men,
all alike, all equally unimportant good for
nothing except to fetch ices for youngs ladies.
Hello! said voice.
She looked up to see a strange young man
with red hair bending over her.
I'VE were introduced" said the young man.
I'm Dugald Stuart"
"Oh, yes" said Cissy sweetly vague.
Lets go somewhere" He frowned around
him. Isn't there little room somewhere?
without any satin chairs?'
Cissy laughed. Uncle Rufus has We old
fashioned den"
That's it." said Dugald. "Come on!'
CisSy rose led the way to- Uncle Rufus den
at the back of the hall. 1t was an horrendous
room, papered in chocolate brown, spread with
red Turkish rugs, tiled around the fireplace
in green and black, hung with antlers, cramnaed
with black walnut draped with Navajo blankets.
but it had suited Uncle Rufus in 1894, and
apparently suited young Mr.. Stuart now
This said he, rs something like. Will yUu
have the morris chair or the die-van?"
'T1l have the die-van, )" said Cissy.
Mr.. Stuart leaned back comfortably
I'm no good at balls" said he.

If you have money, you spend it, especially your
women spend it. And he had it, and Cissy
spent 1t, and she was lazy and extravagant

that CisSy-and Tommy-could carve their

Toms fathers lumber yard had had very little
to do with Toms own millions made in soft
metal castings and real estate.
{ CERTAINLY the youngest Narcissa Wilson
had never suspected once in all her 81
years that her father was anything but highly
pleased with her. Indeed, Cissy's nature was so
bhthe and unquestioning that she thought the
whole world was pleased with her, as she was
with the whole world
Cissy's chief charm was perhaps just that
delight that she took in her every waking mo-
nlent. In her own words, she had grand time
all the time. And, If 1t ever turned out that
she found herself not having a grand time
Cissy's remedy was simple: she merely went
on and did something else. Consequently she
was never bored or rather she did not remain
bored II young man bored her-and few did
-Cissy showed him the door sweetly and firm
ly. If play did not interest her, she went to
sleep. If a book did not amuse her, she put it
down. II she bought froek she did not like.
she gave 1t away. If 1t rained when she wanted
to play golf, she got bridge game. II she
could not get the required four for bridge, she
curled up on>the chaise Tongue and read. If
what she read proved dull, she went to the
kitchen shooed out the cook, made fudge, and
ate it until it was all gone Incidentally q

NarciSsa, too CisSy had inherited her long,
legged body-the wilson's had all been tall
but her eyes were her mothers, gray and
laughing and her broad, frank, gamin grin
was nobody's except her own.
Cissy was shopping. Nothing did CiSsy en-
joy more than a good old-fashioned shopping
bout. And on this bright Autumn morning she
was stepping happily in and out of shops, look
ing, admiring, buying ordering. She wore a
gay coat of fur the color of cafe au lait. A
little helmet of felt in precisely the same shade
capped her ears. Her shoes were lizard. Her
stockings were fine-meshed and thin. She
carried a lizard-skin purse crammed with bills
In her right hand was bright green leash,
at the end of which trotted Quirk freshly
washed and enormously mournful Sealyham.
1t was O'Clock when Cissy got home. Home
was a gray stone house on the upper boulevard.
She was slightly tired. 1t had been a long day.
But she had accomplished so much. And Incl
dentally in that accomplishment, she had spent
just 81, 1880. n
She stretched out on the chaise Tongue and,
slipping green tea, considered what she would
wear that evening. Lydia's aunt-Lydia was her
best friend-was giving ball. one of the old
fashioned balls that dowager was so famous
for Something decorous, of course.
