 You what?" His frank little face was as inocent as a babes. She knew he was sincere when he repudiated the other possibilities of his truancy, but thought II legitimate to sand on a rainy cor ner watching the drama of exca- vation. How did small mnids work anyway? They felt justified about such funny things-the most im- possible ones sometimes.
 But she seemed to understand. She knew the gripping power or interest, especially when. that in- terest is thrust under a young nose, so to speak.
 "A1l right, Eddie. suppose I understand. I'll try anyway. It takes experience to teach us les- sons, I guess"
 But Edgar hadn't heard much she said. He was half asleep and thinking that mothers were awful funny.

leaned out to ask welcome ques- ton, Want to ride?"
 "Yes!" called Ruth gladly, and clim bed in.
 We're going to Cleveland" the woman said. Are you going that far, or just to the college?"
 Ruth felt gratitied that she had been mistaken for college stu dent. She told them, I'm going to Cleveland, too. I'd certainly appreciate it if you'd let me ride with you. It's hard to get a ride with the right sort of people"
 The couple evidently were pleased to be called "the right sort of people" by this pretty, well-mannered girl, and conversa- tion developed without effort. Ruth soon knew q great deal about MT. and Mrs. Segwick, as they were named. A year after ward she was not to be able to recall their plain. undistinguished faces or the infections of their crude, honest voices, but she was never to forget their kindness to her in this hour of need.

white blood In the family. Of course that is nonsense. Nobody knows the cause of the complete disap- pearance of pigment from the spots of skin. We do know, however between Negro blood and white blood--no scientific test can deter mine whether blood is from a Me- gro or from a white person. The only difference between a Negro and a white person is in the amount of pigment in the skin.
 The areas of skin are milky white in leukoderma, not natural white or flesh color. They are sur rounded usually by border of in- creased pigmentation, 50 that the white patches stand out by con- trast. This ring of increased pig mentation. around the non-pig- mented area suggests that nature is trying to deposit the normal pig ment but something prevents the pigment from reaching the spot. so 1t Is left at the border. The white patch may be single small one. or several small spots. or one large irregular area. The face or any part of the body may be affected. There is no other change than the mere absence of the normal pig ment.
 The cause of leukoderma is up- known.
 A paint which temporarily con ceals the white patches is made by ' mixing from one to four drams 01 gl;cerine with 1-2 ounces of zinc oxide and 1 1-2 ounces of calamir in a pint of water, then adding drop by drop, till the desired tint is obtained, ichthyol. From 10 .c 60 drops of ichthyol may be re. quired to give tint resembling the normal skin. Of course this paint is merely cosmetic to GOV. CT the white patches, and has nc remedial effect.

Last week the skin on my daughters face broke out in strange, water-like blisters that stayed on for two days," writes a woman in Brooklyn.
 "She didn't go to bed for hours and what with running back and forth through the house, te!e- phoning, the entire family got very little sleep. The more she irri- tated her face with various prep arations, the more the blemishes showed.
 "Finally she had to see a doctor. Fortunately, nothing was seriously wrong and the blemishes disap- peared as suddenly as they had appeared. If she'd been calm and had known what to do in the be- ginning, they probably would have been gone in the morning. do wish you'd write something about first aid treatments"
 This mother has the right idea, of course. It certainly is difficult to be cool and calm when your face breaks out in a rash, but if you get all excited about the sit uation, rub on dozen prepara- tions and lose hours of sleep, you'll only make matters worse.
 If you notice spots or rash on your face, remove all makeup i'm wash with soap and water, rinse carefully and go to sleep for at least eight hours. If your digestive organs haven't been properly, a laxative may be indicated. If the blem- ishes are no better in the morning, see your doctor at once.
 Remember, of course, that cos metics shouldn't be used to cover that look at all serious. You may want to hide them, but it's better to allow them to show for a couple of days than to run the risk of irritation.
 To keep skin smooth, don't for get to drink eight glasses of water each day, get eight hours sleep q night, eat sensibly and make sure that your digestive system Is doing the work it is supposed to do.

kepeer- maid by Mrs. Jones and urged to report for duty at once. Mrs. Segwick agreed to take Ruth room and install her there before the children should arrive home from school.
 Ruth found that the ordeal of meeting Maude and Oracle Louise was a trivial one. The chil- dren were so accustomed to the coming and going of housekeepers that when they arrived home to find a perfectly strange young woman baking cookies for them they took it as a matter of course.
 I'm Miss Woodson," Ruth told them. "I've come to keep house for you. Your mother told me to ask you if you'd rather have white bread or brown for supper"
 White" they replied in concert. After staring at Ruth boldly for a few moments they went up to the small rear room of the box-like It, tie house to inspect her possessions. No doubt the meagerness of Ruth s wardrobe caused them to lose in- terest in her, for they soon went out to play with neighbor children next door, not even botherlng to ask the questions Ruth had dreaded.
 When she called them in to get ready for supper she asked, Do you drink plain milk or do you have cocoa in the evening""
 Neither one" answered Oracle Louise, the elder. Tea"
 That's a lie,' stated Maude. We're supposed to have milk" Their voices rose to shrill cre- scendo of argument which Ruth in- terrupted to call them to supper. When they sat down at the table she noticed that they slumped un- tidily and spilled their water as they drank.
 Ruth said, feeling her new re- responsibilities keenly, I'd like you to sit straight as I'm doing. First unfold your napkin this way. do you see? Then break your break before you butter 1t. Your mother asked me to be careful about your manners"
 "Oh, rats!" remarked Oracle Louise rudely. Ruth saw that she was wearing lipstick. It came off on her napkin, along with the but ter on her bread. Ruth. remember ing Oracle Louise's 12 tender years, was a little mortified. She asked mildly, Docs your mother know you wear Iipstick, dearT'
 "sure,' replied Oracle Louise.
 That's. Q lie," said Maude. "She stole 1t out of Mom's box"
 Ruth sighed and fell silent. She was humbly grateful for this work, this shelter which had so unexpect- edly fallen to her lot. But she knew there was dullness and un- congeniality and Loneliness ahead. (TO Bc COntinued)

A year later the patients fac was comp:tely free from any sign of the disease and the patches on the thighs and belly were improved but still lacking in normal pigment.

Edgar .had been warned to come straight home from school as his cough was stubborn and the doctor had advised care.
 But today 1t was five o'clock be- fore he slammed the front door against the cold driZzle outside. "Woof, wool, bark, whoop" was the first thing his mother heard. And then a sneeze.
 "Where have you been, child ?" she demanded with a worried frown.
 Here, let me feel your feet. Wet as water-your stockings, too. Edgar, you've not obeyed me. You can't tell me you stopped at anybody's house."
 The boy had heard enough talk ing about doctors bills and the need of his keeping warm and dry to know that what he'd done to- day, was serious business. He had not meant to stop and watch the steam shovel, but as he and Earl had passed the excavation, it was trying to get foothold on steep muddy bank and kept sliding back. Men were shouting and lay ing rocks behind it, and 1t seemed as though the whole city was jam med about the fence watching the maneuvers.
 Interest of the Moment
 Two interested urchins forgot all about the world of home and school and stayed until the big machine went over the top like a machine with thunderous grunt went over the top like war tank.
 Not until then did Edgar re- member his orders. Now at home with his mother stripping off damp clothes and hunting for the flannel and rubbing oil, it all seemed different.
 "Now tell me where you were," she admonished when he was tucked into bed with a water bot tie burning into his back. 1T was with Earl" he temporiz- cd That's all. Just with Earl. /
