W co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER SEVEN

Nf1AE IER SEVEN
IRENE was, indeed, eager to tell
4 Tommy her good news, but he
did not give her an opportunity at
once. The instant they were out
side the house he plunged into his
plea for an early marriage and
Irene was so pleased with the hum
Die tone he took that she let him
talk on until they had come within
a block Of her home.
The harder he pleaded, the more
effective her refusal would be, she
telt. Her big news would be even
bigger when balanced against his
contrition for being unable to rush
to her that morning as she had ex-
pected he would.
Won't you?" he said finally, and
waited for aa answer. Irene smiled,
in a mysterious, Sinking fashion.
It's too late, she said dramati-
cally. The decision is taken out
Of my hands
Tommy stared at her, somewhat
taken aback. "Huh?" he said stu
pidly.
Il mean that while you were
spending your time with Beryl and
neglecting me my big opportunity
cane-and thank heavens I was
home to hear when it knocked on
the door
Think Of It'll" she seemed carried
away with the immensely of the
thought eff I'd gone with you last
night, Tommy, I'd have missed the
first real chance I've had in my
career"
Tommy was still unenlightened.
Think Of what?" he asked.
Irene regarded him supercilious-
~. "Of course you wouldn't know, +"
she said loftily. well, to be explicit,
my voice teacher telephoned this
morning, and I'm to have an audi
ton at RKG tomorrow afternoon.
"Radio!" Tommy exclaimed.
What a clever guess, Irene jibed.
why, that's great" Tommy said
with genuine enthusiasm. I'm
really glad, Irene. I knew you'd get
a break SOME day.
But listen, we always planned
on it. Why should it interfere with
our marriage noW?"
"Interfere" Irene repeated ex-
plosively. There's no question of
my career interfering with any
thing. It's the other way round.
Nothing is going to interfere with
It'll"
But you don't understand" Tom
may said despairingly, Il may need
lot Of time before fall to fix things
up with Aunt En-. Otherwise I
might not go back to college"
IRENE shrugged, very Frenchily
j. she thought. That's your al
fair" she said unsympathetically
"Oh. have heart" Tommy
begged.
"Yes2" Irene Knocked. "Well, you
needn't be a dog in the manger.
Tommy Wilson. There's no reason
why 7 should put your interests be-
fore mine after the way you've
treated me in the last twenty-four
hours"
IT know Tommy admitted rue
fully. But I couldn't help it. I
didn't do it purposely."
That's no excuse"
''Then you won't do it? You won't
even consider it?"
mot now. My mind must be en-
tirely free to think of my future
And if you don't mind, Tommy,
I'd rather you didn't come In. This
has been a terribly strenuous day
and I'm exhausted. I must rest and
save my voice"
YES Tommy agreed. "I sup
pose you must. Well, goodby,
Irene. You're sure you don't want
me to come in?"
I'm quite sure. Good-by. I'll let
you know about the contract as
soon as T get home"
What contract2" Tommy asked
foolishly.

DIET AND HEALTH -

Perhaps some of your friends
will sniff at the coat of tan you
will so laboriously acquire this
summer.
Let them sniff. Keep right on
getting it. Let me assure you,
on the best medical authority,
that it is quite healthy.
Let all the children get one,
too. Put them out on the beach
in the sun if you're lucky
enough to be near a beach. If
not, let them run in the yard
in their bathing suits and get a
good burn.
There is no better insurance
against some of the diseases of
the winter than plenty of ex-
posure to the sun during
the summer. Therefore, take
advantage of the weeks of sun
shine to get some more insur-
ance on next winters health.
The Suns AcatiOn
What the sun does to the
body through the medium Of
the skin is remarkable. We do
not know all of it. But we know
some interesting side-lights.
For instance, it was shown a
few years ago that the disease,
ricketts,, which occurs only in
children, can be prevented as
well as cured by giving them
cod liver oil. Then it was shown

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
Dancing School Romance

D&UCAuS SC4OOA UGO4usSACO
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Please advise me what to
do about a boy I like very
much, but meet only once a
week at dancing school? He al
most always asks me to dance
with him, and naturally we
talk together. But he walks
home with another girl, and
they both live near each other,
whereas I live in another town.
How shall make myself more
interesting, so I will know him
better? If we don't see each
other for six months, I'm afraid
he'll forget me, and dancing
school will soon close for the
summer. What had I better
do2 PATIENCE.
I imagine that the other town
where the boy lives is not too
far or you would not all be
going to the same dancing
school. Why not ask your
mother if you can't have little
party, or picnic, or hike and
invite this boy? That will put
your acquaintance on a more
solid foundation than meeting
casually at dancing school.

"Come along. Be as boyish

THE YEAR AHEAD
For Those Whose Birthday Is

For Those Whose Birthday Is
May IL
If May II Is your birthday,
the coming year may bring
changes-many conditions are
favorable, but there is a need
to safeguard your finances and
to investigate carefully any
propositions for speculation or
any matter that could affect
you legally. Important dates:

September IA to 16, September
80 to October 2, December 20

Trajectory dates show two op-
posing influences.
A child born May II will be
determined, ambitious and re-
sourceful. He will be interest
ed in accumulating a substan.
tial income and will be aided
by those in Superior positions.
He should be taught tolerance
and respect for the opinions Of
others.
May 1S
If May 18 is your birthday,
the coming year may not be
very eventful-everything Will

you to make difinite progress.

home a war millionaire might
have erected out Of an over

Truth Of the matter was
and bitterly he knew it-Hen-
rietta had been deep in an af-
fair with the architect who
designed it.
Toms sop to his sense of the
ironic was to be unfaithful to
his wife, on every possible occa-
sion, in his house, which lad
turned into a montrosity be-
cause she had insisted upon
giving carte blanche to her
lover, the nincompoop young
architect on dancing legs, who
had created. it.
"a Pretty Lot"
"We're a pretty lot" Leslie
Edgerton had once said to her
father, who, when in his cups,
could laugh uproariously at a
remark he would slap her clear,
heart haped face for when
sober. Were a pretty lot, Dad.
The only thing virgin around
here is the soil. III"
Jennifer and Berry tilted into
the three-mile driveway Of that
virgin soil on two wheels at a
60-mile clip. They had driven
out in Berry's underslung, boat
shaped roadster. Jennifer at
first had demonstrated, holding
out against cramming herself,
in her slim sheaf Of baby .ermine
gown, into a crouched position
in the natty sports car.

His quick, close kiss went
against the second dart of pink.
"You sweet Sweet" he said,
out Of it's long endurance.
She pushed him back, her
face suddenly smeared with the
pallor of excitement.

that if children are exposed to
sunlight this also will prevent
and cure ricketts,. It does not
make any difference whether
you give the child cod liver
oil or expose it to sunlight,
one will cure ricketts, just as
well as the other.
Sunlight and Milk
Why is this? While the sci
entific world was puzzling it's
head over this question, an
other curious fact was discov-
