IDLE WORDS

Sue reflected that it had been a long time since she had met Jack at an office, as she crossed the street, walked block to the north and a block. to the east, and took the elevator to the law firm with which he was affiliated. The gilded letters on the door hurt her a little. Jacks name wasn't tn- cluded in the name of the firm. He wasn't a junior partner of this organization. He was one of half a dozen tyounger attorneys who dreamed of the day when they might be.
 Across the street loomed the office building where Jacks father practiced. Sue could see it through window in the corridor of the building. Jacks name had been displayed so proudly over there. But now = She strengthened her slim shoulders. raised her head. winked back a rebellious tear, and opened the door into the general waiting room. It was large. Much lafger than she had expected that it would be. But there was no one in 1t.
 Sue sat down. She decided that the receptionist had probably gone down the corridor to deliver a message to one of the men in his private office. She would return in a minute. But the hands of the clock moved on and nearly five minutes had passed when Sue be- gan to wonder if she weren't com ing. -,,, al, and wait for him." she told her self, reaching for & magazine.

 "Just talk to him. You can rely on Tat. It's true he is in bad hu- nor. But just talk to him. Tell him about your invention. It's sure to interest him"

 Suddenly the pajamas were Sent flying into corner, and Martins feelings exploded without the least warning. May was astonished to find herself caught in an embrace that took her breath and her sens es. The furious endearments that followed each other on tide or tenderness and anger, hope and despair, were utterly incomprehen. sible. She had only confused sense mixed with a certain happiness or having several bones broken, of be- ing devoured ana swallowed by a giant who was made of iron.
 What is the matter with you, you foolish boy?" she stammered when she recovered her breath.
 Shall I tell him this? Shall l tell him how madly, how crazily, how utterly [ love you? Shall I tell him that I must have you for my own though the world goes to bits.

Learn the Art of Using Perfume
 No matter how tangled the air may be with honeysuckle and rain- wet lilacs and rose petals, if you don't have a drop or two of some fragrance that is peculiarly your own, you aren't living up to all the features of the beauty program.
 There are three important steps in choosing perfume. Choose one that is pleasing. Make sure that it will finger with you. And learn how to apply it.
 There are some women who re- mind others of the hand-maidens of Pharoah who grew up along the Nile. They call for exotic fra grances. There are others that have the gingham-gowned ingenue charm that the summer Is reviving. Old-fashioned fragrances that be- long to somebody's garden where the flowers grew in nice even rows should cling to such girls.
 Some women need sophisticated

guess, but not the type that would raise mans temperature enough to make him dangerous. Nice enough if you like 'em safe."
 "Uh-huh. I get you. Her hus- bands a knockout, though. I could go for him in big way"
 ''Sure you could. So could any other girls. But he isn't looking around. He's all wrapped up irf her. She was the secretary in his fathers office-Thornton, Curtis, and Thornton. Jack was the junior partner. Now the second Thorn ton has been dropped from the name. She was engaged to Harry Becker first but her kid sister took him away from her. But 1t seemed she really wanted Jack Thornton anyawy, so she didn't mind win- ming the consolation prize. And neither would anybody else. Ready to leave?"
 Sue realized that the girls were in a small rest room which opened into the hall on which the waiting room was located. They had left the door open and their voices had carried along the quiet room.
 She wondered what they would say when they saw her. Then she decided to leave and make another appearance.

perfumes. Others don't. However, in summer, as a rule, light fra- grance is better. It is cooler, clean CT, and more restful.
 When you have decided on the type of perfume that you should use, test it out. One famous per- fume manufacturer places 8 drop at a time, of various fragrances. on the wrist of customers. After awhile, all will have disappeared but one. The one that fingers, he explains, is best suited to the per- sonality and skin of the user, and should be her choice.
 Do not put perfume on your clothing. It reacts differently on silk, wools and furs. You may not care for it's effect at all when you have touched it to frock.
 Place a drop back of each ear. When your dance partner bends to say some ridiculous thing to you he will note the subtle appeal the perfume possesses. Put a portion of a drop into the hollow of your neck. And see that your lips have the rest of that drop.
 Never make the perfume stand out. Make 1t slowly grow on the people around you. Don't startle them with it. Perfume, to be en- chanting, must be subtle. A lilac fragrance, just a whiff as though cool breeze blew over a row of bushes that were trembling in the rain, exercises ever so much more appeal than the sudden mad rush of wild peoples which leaps at you and suffocates. There are propor- tions to everything-even the use of perfume.

YOUR TEETH Their Relation to Your
 General Health
By Me Educational Committee of tke
 AmericGn Dental Association
A LESSON FROM FOLKLORE

A LESSON FROM FOLKLORE
 From the worlds folklore the enlightened modern world may learn lesson in dental hygiene, according to pr Alfred Walker, chairman of the educational conn mittee of the American Dental as- sociation.
 Despite the great strides taken forward by modern scientific re- search. Dr Walker says, thou sands of persons believe today that you can cure a -toothache by run- ming three times around church without thinking of a fox.
 That is. just one of hundreds of strange cures recommended by folklore. If it doesn't work, you can try what Dr Walker considers the prize of them all, which speci- fies that you fill your mouth with water and sit on a stove until the water boils. This is guaranteed to eliminate toothache entirely.
 Carolina negroes believe in teaching tooth charms to the young. They put dogs tooth in bag and tie the bag around a baby's neck. This is supposed to save the child trouble while teeth ing and assures healthy teeth when the child grows up.
 German peasants, who recom- mend the walk around the church as @ solution of your teeth trou- bles, also think that you can cure a toothache by kissing a donkey. Some Bavarians believe that cam phor wrapped in cotton and placed in the ear will cure bad teeth, while others offer this prescrip- ton: Open a hens egg, remove the white cuticle surrounding the yoll, wrap it around the little fin ger of each hand, and leave 1t there until it dries. Pain will disap- pear promptly.
 Commenting on the folklore findings, Dr Walker says that moderns, with the tools of science at their command, may take 8 les- son from the humble folk who de- vised the strange formulas.
 "The German peasants who use the fox 'cure' at least indicate that they are giving some thought to their dental health." Dr Walker says, land that is more than you can say for most of us modern Americans.
 "We can well take page from the folklore of simple people tho world over and learn that we should place more importance on the condition of our teeth as they affect our general health"
 Think Of your teeth when they do not ache. and they will not ache and make you think Of thom. T

Paris = GU. P.) The first chamber of the Paris civil tribun- al has just decided that a mistress has the right to the family tomb of her lover, following the render ing of judgment in a rather pecu- liar case. The dead man left a will, naming as sole executor his daughter by legitimate marriage. ordering her to pay an allowance to the mistress. A second clause set a part in the burial vault for the body of the mistress. The legiti- mate wife was overruled in her request to make the second clause of the will invalid.

 Jack Egan of stage renown has the leading male role. The sign- ing of him for the principal mas culine role was the result of thor ough search.
 Dozens of tests were made. But the requirements of the role - youth, good looks and special danc- ing and singing ability, made it difficult to fill.
 Scores of young song and dance men presented themselves and seemed at first glance to offer promising material, but when they were put through the paces all fell short, until young Egan ap- peared.

east of the Mississippi river where cotton is grown have come reports of heavy weevil infestation. Heavy rains have caused grass to grow rapidly and aided the spread of the weevils.
 County farm agents in South Alabama report boil weevils very active and ready ta attack in squares as soon as they are large enough In Dallas County, which led the state in cotton production prior to weevil infestations, the pests are, 50 per cent more active than a year ago.
 Spread in Ten Days
 Spartanburg County, South Car olina, reported a 300 per cent in crease in weevil infestation in a period of ten days.
 Union County, South Carolina, sent reports of as high as 500 weevils per acre, which is an ex- traordinary heavy infestation.
 J. c. Holton, commissioner of agriculture in Mississippi said the weevil infestation in that state is very heavy and will greatly de- crease production.
 "If the heavy weevil infesta- ton continues" Holton added, the farmers must soon decide whether to sacrifice the feed crops and fight the weevils, or to cultivate the feed crops and intensity cotton ef- fort to smaller and favored areas. J
 New Appearance
 The ping boil weevil worm has made its appearance in Florida, and fear that it may spread its activities into South Georgia cot ton fields has put 'Georgia's agri- cultural authorities on the alert for a fight against the new pest
 The boil weevil is active in Georgia, but no unusual infesta- |tions have been reported to date
 Farm experts attribute the heavy weevil infestation this year to the mild months of the past winter which prevented them from being frozen out in their hiding places
 No estimate of the extent oi weevil damage has been made.
