of pleased expectancy died out of it. He had to work? oh. that was too bad! She had been mentally freshening up her best black frock, doing her hair.
 Tom was sorry. he said. There was big new account in the office. He hated leaving her alone but honestly he had to work on this stuff. She was a good sport! It was all right, then?
 Gypsy put the telephone down with a sensation of disappointment and defeat. The long evening stretched out before her with a lonely and solitary dinner to boot. Well, it was too bad, but 1t could mt be helped.
 She got David ready for the night, a lovely, laughing scrap of babyhood in his ribbed nightgOwn. But after he had been tucked away in his crib, the light turned out and the windows opened, a feeling of deep forlornness swept over her. She stood at the kitchen window, her forehead against the cool pane, gazing down at the lighted streets below. Far to the west she could see the lights of the gay street, Broadway. An advertising sign twinkled on and off, red and yell How, red and yellow, half a block away. Night sounds, sounds of the city throwing off it's daytime mood of seriousness, making ready for play, came to her faintly. The hooting of taxis, the scrape of brakes. A radio. blared out across the way. Dinner music. Some where down in the city men and girls were dancing to the strains of that music, were dining and smoking and laughing.
 TT feel like Cinderella" Gypsy said to herself, trying to smile. But tears pricked at her eyclids. She swallowed hard. Why, she was being just baby! She'd had to eat her dinner alone, before this. What was the matter with her?
 The chop and the baked potato and the spinach all tasted like dust and ashes to her. She picked up a magazine and tried to read but the type all swam together. The stories were trite and uninterest- ing. What was she doing, in this strange little apartment, high up above the uncaring city, alone? She needed laughter and good talk and the kind faces of friends.
 She piled the dishes in the sink, resolving to wash them later. Slip ping quietly past the bedroom in which David slept, she washed and powdered and donned her black frock. If she had to be alone, at least she could make herself fresh and presenta ble. Nothing would happen nothing ever hap pened to her any more. Her life was at q standstill.
 The doorbell rang resoundingly, as if in answer to this thought. Flashing to answer it. she cried in amazement. why, Hunt! Where on earth did you drop from?"

CONVALESCENCE

Last Tuesday afternoon I stop ped in at the Johnson's to return a book MT Johnson had lent me over the week end. Young Robert was playing in the garden, so I called to him, intending to give him the book to take in to his mother, but Mrs Johnson must have seen me, for she opened the door and asked me to come in. Mrs Young is here, doctor" she explained, "and she needs some advice about Johnny"
 Johnny Young has been patient of mine for some weeks, ever since he developed pneumonia. 50 of course I was only too glad to give his mother any relp that I could

He wants me to be with him and talk or read to him all the time, but I've got my work to do." We've been trying to think up some way he could entertain himself. doc tor" said Mrs Johnson; have you any suggestions?"
 "A six-year-old convalescent is rather a problem" I agreed, but we ought to be able to think UT something. The important thing. ot ] course. is not to let Johnny tire himself. Let's see-I said he might begin to sit up this week. didn't I?" Mrs Young nodded. and Mri Johnson again broke in.

STYLE CHATS
WITH ALMA ARCHER

Costumes for woman and man presumably originated in a veget- able fiber cord tied about the waist, to which the man hung his stone knife, the aca1ps of gentlemen gathered in among the days loot, Q few shipped teeth, etc. This cord increased in size until 1t became girdle, then a garment. The best belts were flor the strongest" so woman made her first dress from the scraps which were left from her hunter husbands costume. This cast-off regime to. fhich woman was subjected for thousands of years toughened her so well against cold that she gained forever her faculty of living in semi-nudeity, according to Edmond Hara- courts Dash, the First Man" A fapper of those fine old carly settler days, decked herself out in goat skins, with a slight trim of vegetable fibers-maybe a bit of broccoli-and bejeweled herself with sticks. stones, teeth. claws and other trinkets which appealed to her and which she hung around her hips or through her nose and ears.

You'll find other things to amuse him, once you get started" I went on. What about some quick growing seeds. such as peas or beans? You can plant them on wet flannel in saucer, and Johnny can watch them grow from day to lay" I'm going right along to the 10 cent store," announced Mrs Young, ''to buy seeds and crayons and paper and we'll have Johnny as busy as bee the next time yoi come, doctor" And off she hustled.
 I couldn't help smiling at her enthusiasm, once she got the idea. But I must make a point of keep ing careful eye on young Johnny, to see that his mother does not let him over-do his amusement. Anything that will keep sick child relaxed and happy is good, but fatugue will only set his LLck.

TAKE NOUR1SHMENT FOR EXAMPLE

Whenever I see Bette Davis, the actress laboriously drag herself across the scene wonder how long it will be before the poor deluded child Is taken to the san. A good many misguided young women have been bitten by the Hollywood diet bug and have ended their ca reers in a tuberculosis sanatorium.
 A moderate reduction diet intel- ligently followed is rather benef- cial to the health of the overweight individual of mature age. But a young person who has not yet at- tained complete adult develop ment cannot safely restrict diet in any way, unless under the person. al direction and observation of her own physician.
 Children in their teens need as much or in some instances more nourishment than their sedentary parents need, for the young ones are not only more active physical ly, as a rule, but invariably require a fair amount of energy for growth and development, and if their diet is unintelligently restricted in any way they simply do not get the | they suffer grave consequences, among which the lighting up of that smouldering or latent tuber- culosis which most of us have is but one manifestation.

 YOURSELF
MORE MAKEUP TIPS
 FOR MASQUERADES
By Alicis Hart
3I9N N sy Nsa sEsz!sE !NS

The correct use of the eyebrow pencil is probably the most im- portant step in effecting and au- thentic Oriental makeup.
 Regardless of the color of your eyes and hair, use black eyebrow pencil and black mascara.
 Beginning almost at the inside corner of an eye, make thin line underneath the lashes and the low CT lid and above the lashes on the upper lid. Use small hand mir TOT and watch carefully to see | that you aren't touching your lids above the little line. The pencil should be held in scuh Q way as to be almost in cantact with the roots of the lashes while you are outlining them. Extend the lines beyond the outer corner and turn them. not too abruptly, upward as you finish and join them together.
 If you have made the lines turn upward at just the right angle. oyur eyes will have that fascir. ating Oriental upward slant.
 Then take the eyebrow pencil and line your eyebrows. If your brows are unusually heavy, draw line only through the centers Of them.
 When you have finished with the eyebrow pencil, you are ready for face powder. Use dark yellow powder. Dip a cotton pad in the, powder and put lavish coat Of it on your face and neck. Leave all of it on for ten minutes and then brush off the excess.

"Who'S boss ?" Children get queer notions into their heads. One is that nobody on earth has a right to interfere with them except their parents.
 That old crank!" scoffs Jimmy when the grocery man roars after him for hooking an apple. Mrs Blank Is Ia mean old lady" be- cause she came out and told Jack he must not chalk her pavement for hop-scotch. Even Louise de- clares that "the Smith woman down at the corner is always hol- lering when we cut across her old dead grass"
 The grocer, Mrs Blank and Mrs Smith are perhaps thirty. The ladies are pretty, amiable and | sweet hammered. Very likely they , have stood up for their rights as politely as they could. But they are "old" and "cranks," the lot of them. Anyone in authority is old to a child. especially when he isn't getting his own way.
 When Children "Show OH' Is it any wonder then that the fleighbors develop a certain amount of antagonism toward children of an age?
 As matter of fact they don't resent small trespassers who wear paths. or marauders who mark up the premises as much as they do the. reactions of the cu1prits to re- mindcrs. Even a gentle admoni- tion. or a civil request not to do 1t again is met by sort of reprisal spirit that too often seeks oppor- tunity to get even.
 A lady had just cleared up her lawn and walk. Along came some girls with candy bars. They stood to wait for a companion. Three sets of wrappers futtered to the ground.

ories. U. s. army rations yield about 5000 calories, and a soldier doesn't grow fat on that. U. $.
 navy rations are 400 or 500 call ories more than the army rations. There are no satisfactory tables
 or figures to show how many call
 ories Q person burns off by walking a mile, by dancing, or by other
 forms of work play or exercise. But here are a few scientific data of interest:
 Walking 2 miles per hour in- creases metabolism (oxidation or combustion rate) to three times the resting rate; walking miles
 per hour increases it to five times that you burn up the excess fuel or tissue that much faster. From three to six miles of oxygen on the hoof every day is a fine rem edy, either preventative or cura- tive, for overweight.
 Finnish physiologists. in the Hell singfors Physiology institute found that dancing is fine way to speed
 up metabolism. The waltz, shimmy, fox-trot increase metabolism four fold, and the polka and mazurka
 increase it ten-fold! They found
 that gentle waltzing uses up twice as many calories as ordinary gym nastic exercises do. The mazurka
 used up more calories than does

 exercises such as many follow to
 keep fit" are fine for the purpose,
 However, better than an effort in in that way than a constant loaf.

She even urged Tom to go by him. self or with the Matsons another young couple who lived on the same floor.
 At first Tom protested. No. he'd rather stay at home. But Gypsy was sometimes too weary to talk. She to bed early. Small wonder that Tom dropped into the habit of go- ing out without her.
 Sometimes she was frightened at her own weariness and dull ness and her absorption in the l baby. Tom would tire of her, she would tell herself wildly glancing at her image In the mirror. She had nothing to talk about these days. The young mothers she met in the park were deep in the mys- teries of formulas and purecd car rots and orange juice. How could she, after an afternoon of this con- versation. be bright and amusing for her husband? And wasn't David worth any self-sacrifice?

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Like a Thousand Units of Antitoxin


 A thousand thanks for "The Constipation Habit" It has helped me wonderfully. I shall always be as your instructions, said and 1t worked out fine. (Mrs. G. W. P) Answer-Constipation is only a bad habit. Wrong psychology. The booklet "The Constipation Habit" costs a dime and a stamped enve- lope bearing your address-but think of the saving in the cost of physic for the rest of your life. One thank is as good as a thou sand.
 Histamin for Ithcing
 A 12-year old boy to whom I administered tetanus antitoxin had q terrific urticarial reaction. He was rolling about on the floor with the intense itching. I tried adre- nalin, ephedrin, amytal, even nor phin, with out effects, and finally bethought myself of histamin, and gave him two doses of 3 minims each, hypodermicall of course, and this brought immediate and last ing relief. I have used histamin in several cases of intractable pru- ritus with happy results. GA. M. J., M. D.)
 Answer-Thank you, Doctor. The suggestion will probably bring relief to a lot of sufferers.
 What, Hay Fever in Winter?
 Do you think going to Florida would help sufferer from hay fever or asthma? GA. V. B., West Virginia.)
