CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
MARK TRAVERS threw down
1Vl his coat and loosened his tie
impatiently.
I'm all in," he said, yawning.
TITS too late TO talk about anything
now. Got to be up early to meet
those fellows at the club house"
"But, Mark, this is-it's impor-
tant.''
He had disposed of the necktie,
was fuInbling with shirt buttons.
Mark did not even glance toward
Norma.
"NothingIs SO important tonight
it can't wait. I tell you I'm dog
tired!"
The girl had not moved from
where she stood. She seemed about
to speak, then her lips frightened.
Automatically she folded and un-
folded an end Of ribbon on her
dress.
Suddenly, inpetuously she rushed
to Mark and put hand on each Of
his arms.
ooh, Mark" she cried. do you
really love me? I mean more than
any one else? Do you love me so
much nothing will ever make any
difference? If anything should hap
pen-do you love me so much you're
sure nothing could ever make you
change? Do you?"
"W by, sweetheart" Travers
laughed and patted her cheek. $50
that's what's been worrying you
that's what's so terribly important,
is it? Of course I love you. Now,
will you climb into your pajamas
and get ready for bed? Honestly,
I'm awfully sleepy!"
A ong-drawn-out yawn clinched
the argument. Obediently Norma
turned away and began undressing.
CHE was not awake when he left
~ next morning. Accustomed to
sleeping late since their arrival in
Blue Springs, it was after 10
o'clock before Norma sat up in bed
and rubbed her eyes.
Rumpled pillows beside her told
their story. Mark had gone to keep
his appointment at the golf course.
The girl arose and dressed slowly.
She did not even bother to go
downstairs to breakfast.
Just before noon there was a tele-
phone call. Marks voice came over
the wire, saying he would meet her
for lunch at l. Yes. they'd been
around the course but it was going
to take a while to clean up and get
back to the inn.
Norma was looking very attrac-
tive and very sweet when she met
him in the lobby. She wore her gray
travelling suit with gray pumps and
the Saucy, tip fitting hat that come
from Fanchon'S.
With Mark was Clint Halloran,
one of the members of the four
some. Until two days before Mark
never had seen Halloran. Now ap-
parently they were the best Of
friends.
Mark introduced his bride and
the three went in to luncheon to-
gether At the table the talk was
all of golf. Halloran was amazed
to hear Norma did not play.
you'll have to have lessons" he
assured her. "It's a great game.
Nothing like it! Golf keeps you

"That, so Norma had noticed, was
the favorite argument of devotees
of half a dozen sports. Men and
women told her they played tennis,

To keep fit for what? she might
have asked, since none of them
seemed to have any occupation
other than their endless games.

MRS. ]. F. FAHEY TALKS
AT CIVIC CLUB MEETING
Regular Session of Organization
Held Tuesday Afternoon

The regular meeting of the Oak
land Civic club was held Tuesday,
January 81, at the home of Mrs. WV.
Grant. The usual business of the
club was transacted and the reports
of several committees given.
Miss Jane Robinson rendered two
vocal solos, and Mrs. D. E. Offutt
gave several readings.
Mrs. j. F. Fahey discussed the rela-
ton of rural public health nursing
and social service work, stressing the
Importance of a constructive and cor
receive program, the effort being to
assure to every one his birthright of
a sound mind in sound body.
Extracts from Governor Ritchie's
message to the General Assembly of
1881 regarding the activities of the
State department of health were read
as follows:
"The work of the Health Depart
ment has been accompanied by sig
nificant decrease in the general death
rate and in the number of cases of
communicable diseases.
The State should give continued
support to the work of the Depart
ment with particular reference to the
development of the laboratory servi-
ces to furnish competent assistance to
the physicians of the State in the
diagnosis and treatment of communi-
cable diseases.
Support should also be given to a
reasonable extension of the system of
full time county health departments
in response to local demand. At
present fourteen of the twenty-three
counties of the State have full time
county health service and all of this
development has taken place since
1920. All counties of the State should
have the benefit of this service.
There should be an amendment to
the Sanitary District Law providing
for the creation of twenty-three sani-
tary districts instead of ten. This is
to provide the administrative machin-
cry for full time county health de-
partments in all the counties. A bill
embodying this recommendation will
be submitted to the Legislature.
The increase in the appropriations
are, with a few exceptions, granted
for the purpose of making effective
the above recommendations.
Maintenance appropriation 1880,
$473,5S4; 1882, $496,484; 1888, $780,
