 T did a little work for him on his book. He was fatherly, or something, that's all." She an- swered aware that her cheeks were flushing. She didn't know why they were doing that. There was no reason for it.
 He likes you, though. Not TO- mantically. of course. but he's fond of you. I've known him SO long l know his symptoms. I saw him yesterday a chance meet ing in ten shop. Be kind to him. He needs it." Then she started to talk of other things.

 This little incident and others like 1t have given me the key. A man who had been head cob bier in a big shoe firm that broke up found himself out of work. For months they starved. Then one day he put up Q sign to the effect that he would repair shoes for thirty cents. He had a hard time getting leather, but he found a wholesale place that sold him synthetic soles very cheap. He was soon deluged with a neighborhood business that ket him too busy to think. He did not make much but 1t did buy food.

Water alone is useless. since ivy poison is not soluble in plain water, which indeed may do more harm than good by spreading the poison to unaffected parts. But a strong solution of Mrs John- sons laundry soap applied not with a brush but with plenty of cotton pads would have dissolved most of 1t If not all of 1t, and Bill would not have had to visit me at all.
 A remedy that might have ap- peaied more to Bill. since he is such Q keen photographer. is a ten per cent solution of hyposulphite of soda such as Bill uses to fix" his pictures. This, applied as Q wete dressing. is soothing and ben- eficial. Cooking soda or borax. can be used in the same way.

 As he was leaving I asked Bill if Mary and Claire and Robert knew just what poison ivy looked like. Since Mary is going to camp and the others will be taking trips into the country they ought all to know the pesky little plant with the three shiy leaves and the yellow ish white berries. Bill said he thought Mary knew 1t all right but that he would make sure before she went off to camp, and as for the others. he's going to take them both on a special trip to the near est woods and not let them come back until they can pass an exam ination on Poison Ivy!
 Fortunately Bill came to me be- fore any serious effects had ap- peared, so. he probably won't have to suffer more than few days. He'll be quite recovered by the time he leaves for camp early next month.

 "Thefe are people who have no villa and no motorcar. Some of them can't go to a dance because they have only the one wretched blue suit that the very walters laugh at. And one pair of brown shoes.

 You can imagine that such peo- pie have got to be angry in order to keep up their spirits. or their strength--or whatever you like to call 1t. Otherwise they would go to the wall. They have to work for years at an idea. When a man is schooled in poverty he puts up with a devilish lot. He sets himself to a problem and doesn't give in till he has solved 1t.

PICNICs AND POIsON IVY


 Oh dear, what a come-down for Bill Johnson! The rest of the fam fly is laughing at him. but it's really no laughing matter. Bill, the seasoned camper, the com plete woodsmen. went for q picnic last Saturday and came back with ivy poisoning!
 I was never so surprised in my life as when Bill turned up at my office on Wednesday with his hands all blistered and swoolen and a very shame-faced look. He de- clared that 1t couldn't be poison ivy because he knew how to rccog- nize 1t and was quite sure he had never touched the wretched stuff. But Mrs Johnson, when she saw the blisters, had wisely insisted on his coming to me, for she knew that unless properly treated Bilps hands might become infected and then there would be serious trou- ble.
 While I was dressing his hands I asked Bill if he had walked through trailing sprays of poison | ivy during the picnic or pushed his way past stumps covered with 1t. He admitetd that he had, but in- sisted that he had been careful not to touch it with his hands. That was wise. Bill," said. but what about your boots and clothes?' What about them, doctor?" re- piled Bill; surely the poison can't reach you through thick leather soles---and besides it isn't my feet that got it." No. and you're lucky 1t wasn't" And then l explained how the poisonous sap may cling tot boots or stockings or clothes when the leaves or stems of the plant are crushed, and naturally. when the boots or clothes are pulled off. some of the poison may easily be transferred to the hands and the damage done. Probably that's what happened to Bill. If Bill had realized the situa- tion earlier he could have pre- vented much of the inflammation and discomfort by washing his
