But Sarah didn't give Ted . chance to talk to her. She knew that he wanted to get things strengthened out. to understand just why she had talked in rhyming rid dles, to have her comfortably fixed in his mind again, as very good friend, not puzzling girl. And that was the very thing she
 didn't want. If he accepted her in that calm fashion she wouldn't be a disturbing factor. He would moi think about her again.

Marie was slave to custom and convention. Her god was: What will they say?" What are they doing?' She wore what fashion writers said they were wearing, She read what they were reading, saw the plays they were seeing Even in her home she followed that mythical person-"they."
 Nancy was not surprised when Marie said to her: T am thinking of doing my dining room over. Can you tell me. Nancy, what they arc doing now for pictures. Are they putting them on walls?"
 Nancy's answer summed up most of the good decorators rules: "If you like pictures why don't you put them up? Granting that there is not too much pattern in rug, wall- paper and hangings, and granting that YOU like to look at pictures you should hang them where you want them" @

The way to avoid all ingrown toe nails and other foot trouble Is to begin right with baby's feet, cut the nails straight across, instead of rounding them. and put shoes on them that are built to give the cor-' rect support and adequate toe room.
 Alas, it is just 8 little late for most of us to talk about preventing foot trouble by wearing the right kind of baby shoes!
 The second best thing to do is to take care of your feet the minute you realize you are not 100 per cent comfortable on the hoof. l honestly suggest a good pedicure. One costs from s1.5O to $3. depending on the town you live in. A good one is worth topnotch prices for the relief you get.
 If you want to care for your own feet. start right in and do the thing correctly. First, ingrown toenails are usually caused by short, tight shoes. Length is even more import ant than width. in shoes. If you have any trouble whatsoever. perhaps you need longer shoe and haven't realized you do.
 To treat ingrown toenails. always cut your nails straight across the top, not rounding. If your nails have a tendency to turn inward, ] scApe the back of the naalA aQ tnax

10 minutes they drew up beside a farm house. Gibson walked to the door and knocked. A moment later someone answered. He waved, sig naling the others to go on, and en- tered the house.
 Gypsy's foot was throbbing. At every jerk and jolt as the car moved along she clenched her fists and tried to keep from crying out Tears came into her eyes and she did not bother to brush them away, Sometimes the pain was so great she could not help moaning.
 As they neared the city limits Mason turned. "Where do you want me to take you, Mrs Walalce?"
 "Id like to go to my own home" she said, and gave him the address.
 Don't you think you'd better stop at doctors office?"
 "No, thank you. All I want is to get home!' She leaned back and closed her eyes. If only this would prove to be a nightmare! If only she coulud open her eyes and find that the hideous afternoon had been a dream!
 It was not dream. The pain in her foot told her that. She looked out and discovered that the rain had stopped. Dusk was gathering. It must be nearly six o'clock.
 "This the placer" Mason asked, slowing the car before a brick dwelling.
 "No. The next house. There's a driveway leading in.'
 A moment later the car halted. Mason got out but before he had reached the porch the front door opened. Jim Wallace appeared.
 "Who is it you wanted to sec? 2" Jim asked. He looked at the car. "Gypsy-!' he exclaimed excitedly. What's happened? Whats the mat ter?" 't -
 'Mrs Wallace was in an acci- dent" Mason explained. "I came along a few minutes later and she asked me to bring her here. I'm afraid one of her ankles may be broken or badly sprained. You'd better call a doctor"
 Jim Wallace rushed past him. "Tell me what happened, Gypsy" he demanded.
 "It's-nothing, Jim. I'll be all right" D,
 He helped her from the car, his arm around her. For an instant she steadied herself against him, look ing up into his face.

With the advent of spring comes the bicycle. And with the bicycle comes healthy exercise and whole world of fun. But watch them! They can cause a lot of trouble if they are not used right!
 So many children ride bicycles with their shoulders hunched up. knees perpetually bent, panting up and otherwise injuring and straining their young bodies, that I feel I can put in word here to remind par ents who have turned all bicycle re- sponsibility over to the youngsters that they should have look out for such things.
 In the first place. no saddle that is only a ridge of leather should ever
 be used. It should be level and fiat, real support for the body. Boys like to tilt their saddles sometimes ! until they more greatly resemble
 Mother Goose's broom than thing
 to sit on. That's very bad.
 Then they get the handle bars
 stuck into the shaft up to the chin.
 and that's bad too. All handle bars
 are adjustable, made with nice long
 necks to keep pace with the length l
 riders. They should be adjusted oft en enough to keep the chest muscles
 of fast-growing children from being compressed. A child should sit near ly upright on his wheel. This goes
 for the little folks tricycles too.
 Put Saddle at Right Height
 Saddles are also adjustable. They have long shanks that should be
 raised as often as is necessary. | When a child is riding his knees
 should be straight when the pedal is
 down, only the ball of the foot | touching. If the saddle is too low and the knee bent constantly, the l whole body is strained. He will get very tired and not know what is the mater. @1
 If the handle bars and saddle both are up as far as they will go and he still stoops and has to keep his knees bent, the wheel. is too small. Don't allow children te ride up long exhausting hills. And don't all | low them to ride too fast or too far at a time. I know just how exhaus- tive a bicycle can, be and l know too that children will wear them-
 selves out repeatedly unless they are restrained.
 wish every child could have a
 bicycle. They are really splendid things. But needless to say, l shouldn't allow the children to ride them in the middle of streets where there are cars; the bicycle is becom- ing quite a. problem especially where city jaws do not allow them on side walks. Another complication each of us, has to work out for himself.

her that way. She wished he wouldn't say such things. It was more Gibson's tone than the words to which she objected.
 But she tried to answer lightly. "Oh, do you think need to worry?"
 "I'll say don't! Not you" They were on the Somerset road. It was narrow ribbon of highway winding a circuitous route on grad ually rising ground. The rain poured down steadily. As the coupe swung around the curve the wheels skidded.
 It was all over after breathless instant. Gibson had control of. the car. They were moving along smoothly again. <
 Gypsy, who had seen it all in one terrorized moment, drew deep sigh. "Oh," she said, flor moment I thought-!"
 "so did T." Gibson said sharply. Well, l won't let that happen again, assure you!" r They drove silently for a few mos ments. Gypsy was thinking that if the young man had been watching the road instead of looking at her the near-accident would not have occurred. Probably he knew how to drive all right when he kept his mind on driving.
 Do you notice how much cooler it is out here?" he asked presently. Much cooler" she agreed. "I wonder if the rain is going to last all evening. The sky doesn't seem any lighter" %.a &e. "You can't tell about these "sum- mer storms. Anyhow, the longer it lasts the more pleased some people will be-
 Our garden needs it." Gypsy began and then she stopped. She wished she had not come for this foolish drive. She should have waited until the storm was over or taken a taxi. Now she was doing the very thing for which she had

 When you are suffering from an ingrown toenail that actually Is sunk into the flesh, it will be so painful you can hardly bare to touch It.. But, this is the procedure. Soak thoroughly and gently but persistent ly, and when the nail is soft from soaking, pry the nail out, little by little, with an orange stick. Holding the nail out, no matter how much 1t hurts you, push a small piece of car bolized cotton between 1t and the sore flesh.
 Repeat every night until your toe gets less unframed and finally well enough to allow you to trim 1t straight across. Keeping your toe nails clear, cut and the cuticle pushed back and cleaned out is fully as important as doing the same thing with your fingernails. As a matter of fact. for comfort, your feet are even more important than your hands. Few women realize this!

 Dr. Pigg's claim was approved in the administration of the estate before Judge Charles Sey in the local United States Commissioner Court. Heirs of Lee Pulver, who was the legatee of the estate, dis puted the claim.
 They appealed from the decision in the Commissioners Court to the District Court. The case was heard before Judge Harding without a jury early this month.
