Plan Protects Crops.
A new system of farming. which
promises the elimination of one of the
most serious insect problems, was pro-
posed by DR.. S. Marcovititch of the
University Of Tennessee.
This was termed strip farming"
and consists merely in planting crops
susceptible to plant lice in strips
among corn, cotton and other plants.
Such strips, it was found, were prac-
tically free of the insects, while plots
only 100 yards away were totally de-
stroyed. On the other hand, strips Of
such plants as tobacco or petunia,
planted near cantaloupe or orkra
vines. bring about the destruction Of
the latter, because their gummy sur
faces trap the beneficial parasites that
normally prey on the lice.

Patron Saint of Lawyers

The American Bar association says
that st. Ives was Helroy Ivo or we,
born at Kermartin, Brittany, 18th of
October, 1888. He studied at Paris
and practiced law at Rennes and Ire
quier. Later he studied for the priest
hood, and after his ordination in 1884
he was parish priest at Tedrez and
Torrance. He was known as the bish-
ops Judge, interesting himself greatly
in ecclesiastical legal matters He
was also the lawyer Of the poor, strict
ly just and honorable, and, what was
a marvel at that time, strictly inacces-
sible to bribery. He became in his la
ter life so full of solicitude for the poor
and helpless that he turned his own
home into an orphanage. He died
March 10, 1908, at Kermartin. His
relics in the Cathedral Of Irequier
were respected and saved in the
French revolution. He was canonized
by Clement vi In 1347, and he was

Celia, and is impressed by her love-
Illness. He continues to regard JAMIE
as, as he expresses 1t, a good little

admiration as her due, just one more
in her train of admirers. Tom Meal

Part Two
CHAPTER I

The wheels Of the train made a
singing sound against the icy rails.
JAMIE tucked her feet up under the
edge Of her coat. buried her chin in
the soft fur collar and wondered If
she would ever again be warm.
1t was the inside cold that was
hardest to bear, the icy cold of fear.
She had not been able to believe it.
The telegram had slipped away from
her hand. Nudge, her roommate, had
read it, fat little Nudge "Fa-
Their is i'll. Come at once" Nudge
had cold in her head. It made the
words sound queer. Funny to think
of thing like that. Father was LII
and all that jamie had thought of was
Nudge with a cold in her head.
Father had never been Ill. In all
her life jamie could not remember
when Father had ever been i'll. A
dreadful thing couldn't happen SO
quickly as this. Two days ago she
had received letter from Father, a
jolly letter, full Of plans for Christ
mas when jamie would be at home.
Now she was going home, a day ahead
of time. Nudge had read the mes
sage "Father is i'll Come at
once"
She couldn't believe 1t. The tele-
gram was in her pocket-book. She
unfolded the creased yellow sheet and
read the message again. Hugh had
sent 1t. Hughl She tried to see Hugh
in her mind; his copper-gold head, his
wide laughing mouth, his eyes that
were the color Of sherry wine.
She looked at her hand where Hugh
had kissed 1t that last lonely night at
home. It was just Janie's hand, the
pink Of the palm traced with faint IN
even lines. If she could remember
how she had felt that night maybe
then she could cry. But she couldn't
remember how she had felt. She
couldn't cry or make it seem real that
JAMES, father was Ill
Christmas! They had made such
beautiful plans. Hugh had written to
her about it and Father and Mother
and Celia. At first she had dreaded
going back home. But the worst Of
the feeling had gone. Celia seemed to
be happy being engaged to Hugh.
She wrote jamie affectionate letters.
Because she was human and not q
saint, jamie couldn't exactly rejoice.
But she could not mind quite so much
If Celia loved Hugh and both of them
were happy.

Bows Feature Of
Purse and Muf
Home Worker May Make
Her Own Decorations,
If She Desires.

Bows and muffs are both featured
this season in unusual models and
styles. For example, hand bags have
bows for ornaments, purses are COM
bined with muffs, or muffs have bows
as trimming. Occasionally, all three
features are found In single Access
sorry, the muff purse or the purse
muff, whichever you prefer to call it.
In the previous vogue of muffs, some
years ago, purses were not infre-
quently let into muffs in a convent
ent way. No fumbling about in a
bag or pocket was necessary to pro-
duce the purse, for it was on the out
side of the muff, generally so well hid
den in the fur that it was scarcely
discernible. In the present combina-
ton the purse is sometimes the chief
item, with finger-tip muff portions in
triguingly introduced. The convent
ence is as satisfying as formerly.
Favorite materials for purses with
bows, and muffs, are satin, silk, vel
vet, soft suede, or it's imitation in
fabric-suede. 1t is easy to see why
these are chosen, since the materials
are so soft and flexible that they lend
themselves admirably to gathers and
folds Of bows. 1t is of interest to
the home worker to know of these
materials, since she can fashion her
own purse in one of these latest mod
els if she so chooses.
A length of one of these textiles
six inches in width or more can be
interlined, and then lined with satin,
and have little inside pockets made
of gathered or fiat satin sewed to lin
ing. The strip is then folded twice.
The outside fold is shorter than the
other two parts, and forms the flap.
The sides of the folded edges be-
meath are sewed together for the bag
portion of the envelope purse. 1t is
advisable to fit the outside flap with
snap fasteners for security.
1t is the trimming of the bag which
supplies the novel feature. On the
flap is sewed as smart q bow of the
material as the worker can fashion.
Or she can match the color Of the
bag in heavy ribbon and get the sales
person at the ribbon counter to make
4 the bow, which the woman can, her.
self, sew to the flap.
A bag that is minus a bow can be
made in latest style by sewing bow
on the outside. 1t is not always that
by such slight addition last years
bag can be brought up to the latest
vogue.

For Hard Coughs or
Colds That Worry You

Creomulsion is made to give SUI
preme help for coughs or colds.
1t combines z helps in one-the
best helps known to science. 1t is
for quick relief, for safety.
But careful people, more and
more, use it for every cough that
starts. No one knows where a
cough may lead. No one can tell
which factor will do most. That
depends on the type of cold.
Creomulsion costs a little more
than lesser helps. But it means
the utmost help. And it costs you
nothing if it fails to bring the
quick relief you seek. Your drug
gist guarantees it. Use it for
safety's sake. (adv)

That was Hugh! jamie, curled up
in the window seat of her own small
room, was GREATNESS and very still.
She couldn't talk to Hugh tonight.
The happy sound of his voice was
more than she could bear.
jamie, DEAR" Hugh was calling.
''Have you gone to bed?"
JAMIE said nothing at all.
'Tm coming in anyway" He opened
the door. JAMIE saw the happy shine
in his eyes. She turned her head.
"Why are you sitting up here
alone" he asked with crinkly smile.
Tin thinking"
They're making fuss downstairs"
He sat beside her on the window seat.
He was obliged to sit very close. But
you weren't there"
did you miss me, Hugh"
"Of course I missed you," he said
softly. "I've been searching all over
the house. Why did you run away?
Aren't you glad I'm to be your
brother?"
jamie nodded. In the place where
her heart should have been there was
nothing at all but an ache.
He told her how happy he was. He
said lovely things about Celia. He
didn't remember that he had invited
her to have supper with him. He
didn't think that her slippers had
wanted to dance. He didn't know that
the moon had been waiting all day to
shine for JAMIE and Hugh. She didn't
tell him. She just looked down from
the window at the blurred yellow
lights in the Square. Hugh was look

fully, Celia"
Celia's lips trembled. jamie thought
very quickly.

Lucy'sY" she suggested.
"Ill call her." Celia felt almost
grateful to JAMIE.
They heard her talking at the tele-
phone in the hall IF it wouldn't
be too much trouble" The silver harp
strings were singing. ''Thank you,
Aunt Lucy! That's simply darling Of
you +. :"
She was smiling when she returned
to the living room.
"rl run you out" Hugh offered.
"No, thank you" Celia's smile was
not for Hugh. Aunt Lucy is sending
William in with the sedan"
"Hugh." Mother stood in the living
room door. Her expression was wor-
ried and anxious.
"Yes, Mrs. Ballard" Hugh looked
up from the chess board. jamie halted
the victorious march of the ivory
knight.
Celia seems terribly upset" Moth
er's hand trembled against the dull
blue portiere. "And the Doctor is out.
Will you fix her something to make
her sleep?"
A few minutes later Hugh knocked
gently ct Celias door.
"Come in," faint voice called.
Celia lay propped up against a heap
of fluffy pillows in the lilac and ivory
bed. Her face was wan and wistful.
"What is it, Cellar" Hugh drew a
chair beside the bed.
''Pm utterly wretched." Her lips
quivered. Her eyes were misted with
tears. II can't go to Sleep"
Drink this" He lifted her head
from the pillows, tingling at the touch
Of her hair and the petal smoothness
Of her skin.
She drank the mixture like an obedi-
ent child, her misty eyes lifting above
the rim Of the glass.
Tell me what happened, Cellar"
Hugh settled the pillows behind her
head. you'll feel better if you talk

She heard less distinctly the clamor
of fear in her heart.
Through the hall, through the living
room, out on the porch, back again
to the hall. The clock on the land
ing struck seven. We're they together,
Celia and Hugh? ..

was talking at the phone. 1--WE called

shouldn't she be? She didn't know
that jamie was being hurt. A small

a border of flowers stitched in colors
around the hem. Small kid slippers

They came as the clock was striking

in through the wide front door. Celia
was radiant. Hugh had q shine In his
eyes.

cried. "Where in the world have you
been?
"Mother!" Celia flung herself into
Mothers arms with pretty radiant
gesture. ooh, Mother! What do you
think?'
"We've been getting engaged" Hugh
said in a voice that was solemn and
happy and hushed. "That is, If you
have no objections"
jamie said nothing at all. She sat
silent and still, her fingers twisting to-
gether.
Cecilia darling!" Mother was laugh
ing and crying, too. "Well, Hugh, this
is a surprised"
jamie slipped out into the kitchen.
The slippers that had wanted to dance
tripped and stumbled climbing the
dark back stairs.
