Wc have become nationally sum conscious regarding babies and little children. Those who live in the southern half of the United States cannot realize what g. prob lcm this presents to the northern parent.
 -liver-oll has to pinch-hit for Sol during the winter and makes a good enough substitute In It's way. but the mother of a baby or an under-par child watches the sky and thermometer impatiently in April to see when she can be- gin those sun baths, strip the chil- dren and put them out to ripen like tomatoes.
 We know now that certain vit- amins are absolutely essential to health and therefore life.
 First of all, unless she has had experience (and even then l urge 1t Is best for the mother to talk the matter over with the doctor), the duration of the exposure should not be n matter of guess work. because sunlight is danger ous if overdone.
 The first sun bath should be very brief, as little as five minutes. In- crease in periods should be very, very slow. If 1t is cool outside, or windy, the baby can have his bed wheeled up to an open sunny win dow. Glass stops the beneficial rays. But I would not give the first bath on either n very cool or windy day, even though tho room Is heated. Better to choose favor- able all-round weather conditions
 Keep Eyes Away From Sun
 The buggy or play-yard on q protected porch is usually most convenient. Always keep q small baby's eyes away from the sun. Face him away from 1t, but let him lie right in a patch of sum light.
 It won't be long until our heav- enly vltamin-dispenscr will overdo his job, especially at midday. When that happens the best thnc to curb his too-solicitous fondling is before eleven and after three.
 On boiling days just keep baby in the shade. Our business then is not to cook him but to cool him. When a baby or little child once gets used to the sun. he can stand more, but the altogether" sum bath is seldom given over an hour at most. If tho doctor rec ommends 1t, 1t can be given twice a day.

that heavy weight. There was, of course. n chance that some crlls- ing cab would stop by and pick her up as soon as she gained the sidewalk, but there was n far greater chance that Richard Gen. try would over:ake her at the curb if he didn't catch her in the lobby.
 There was no time to balance the probabilities. She had to think and act fast. A window opened onto the fire escape and she flung the suitcase over the sill down to the stel-barred platform and fol- lowed 1t, almost before the suit case had thudded to the steel grat- ing.
 She had barely gained the plat form and adjusted her skirts about her ankles when she heard the sound of feet thudding down the staircase. She turned toward the corridor and saw Richard Gentry dashing past, running rapidly.
 He shot past the window and she heard the bang of his feet on the lower stairway as he ran down to- ward the lobby.
 Millicent looked below her and saw an alleyway, shaded and gloomy, piled with garbage cans, boxes, barrels, broken packing cases. and other bits of rubbish. She felt certain that, while per- haps an occasional truck might rumble through the alley-way, there would be but little traffic through it and few pedestrians.
 With any sort of reasonable luck she seemed safe enough for the moment. It was getting out of the building which presented the real difficulty. She dared not return to the third floor, nor did she dare to descend to the lobby. She was trapped between the floors and would have to wait there until some opportunity for escape pre- sented itself.
 She turned the suitcase over on it's side. used it as n seat, crossed her ankles, tucked her skirt about them, placed her elbows on her knees, and waited.
 After some minutes she heard the thud of feet as two men la- boriously climbed the stairs. One of them was talking and. while she could not catch what was said, She recognized Dick Gentry's voice. and could tell that he was both angry and frightened.
 The pair climbed up the stairs to the third floor. She waited anxiously. but did not hear them return. The shadows heightened, coolness filled the air. Millicent felt cramped and weary.
 Had the two men remained in the apartment on the third floor or had they returned by way of the elevator? She had no means of Knowing, and realized that she never could know without exposing herself to danger.
 She picked up the suitcase, pushed it through the window to the corridor, stood listening for a moment, but heard nothing except the distant rumble of traffic and the pounding of her own pulse in her ears.
 Carrying the suitcase. she de- scended the stairs. The lobby was deserted. She crossed to the door, tugged 1t open and her heart gave wild leap as a cruising cab

And now fla nous Hollywood actress says that daily milk facial keeps her com plexion soft and smooth.

The professions and upper business classes together consti- tute about 20 per cent of the pop. ulation but furnish nearly ninety per cent of the leaders.

DARIS-The ever-increasing diversity of blouses and their now definitely estab- lished place for every hour of the day in the smart woman's wardrobe makes it almost im- possible to say whether two-piece dress shouud still be called dress or whether it should be placed in the blouse and skirt category.
 On the other hand label ''taleur de cock tair' a formal afternoon ensemble which boasts a bodice blouse with daring transparency effects, because 1t is with hat which places it in the class of daytime clothes.

let us avail ourselves of the day light saving time of youth and beauty, which is the preservation of all that is beautiful and young in our ideals, in our habits. in OUT quest of love and belief in our selves.
 What do we mean Dy our quest of love? TO be charitable to others certainly: to spread happi- ness and encourage the love of ou: associates. And of greHter im- portance, to the young bride, to keep ever before her, the tender obligation, never to lose sight (: the exquisite yet elusive romance in her love. Why, oh why, do we hear so many women, after mar riage, refer to love lightly; what was to them privilege before the wedding, suddenly is regard cd as Il duty. This was not the original scheme of life. So many women wonder why their husbands seem indifferent; in many moro cases than we care to admit, 1t is due to this cool attitude of wives toward their husbands. They take them for granted. As a matter of fact men are really more romantic than women, though they prefer to hide this fact behind n brusqhe exterior. This is necessary, as they come in daily contact with the business world.

SYNOPSIS

SYNOPSIS
 MELLlCENT GRAVES, secre. tary tO GEORGE DRIMGOLD, finds hcr employer in his 0fIice dead. JARVIS HAPI', a stranger offer to help her. He sends her to a beauty shop where she Is transformed into . brunei, then takes her home, introducing her as hls secretary. She meets Happ's sou, NORMAN; his step- son ROBERT CAISE; MRS HAPP; DICK GENTRY, Happ's partner; and VERA DUCHENE, Mrs Happ's maid.
 In Happ's home Miliiccnt secs the mysterious woman in black crmiBe whom she believes has some connection with DrimgOld's death.
 The chauffeur is found dead. Later Happ IS Kidnapped.
 MilIiccnt and Norman learn the car driven by the woman in crmine belongs to PHYLLIS FACLCONER and go tO her apartment. While they are there someone tries to enter, then leaves. Norman follows to find out who 1t Is. MiIlicent, alone, discovers the missing suitcase containing Happ's business ace counts. She steps into the corri. dor, carrying the suitcase, secs . man coming toward her.
 CHAPTER XXXVI
 Millicent stared at the man walking down the corridor, her eyes wide with startled compre- mansion as she. recognized him.
 For several seconds she did not realize that the unequal illumina- tion of the corridor made 1t virtu- ally impossible for him to see her. Only when he paused before the doorway of the apartment she had just left did Millicent fully appre- ciate that Richard Gentry was coming to the apartment upon some errand In connection with those stolen books of account.
 Gentry paused at the door, start ed to fit a key into 1t, then ap- parently changing his mind, he raised his right hand, knocked twice, paused, knocked twice more, repeated these two knocks after an interval, and then gave one last knock.
 Millicent, watching, saw that he did not wait for an answer but, following the knock, immediately fitted key to the door and en- tered the apartment.
 It was at that moment that Milli- cent suddenly realized her predica- ment. Gentry was undoubtedly go- ing after those books. He would discover that they were missing and it would be but q matter Of seconds until he dashed out to the corridor, aware of the theft of the suitcase containing those precious books. Perhaps he would make for the elevator but 1t was far more likely that, in his haste to descend, he would dash. down the corridor toward the stairs.
 Millicent snatched up the suit case and such was her excitement that she was entirely unconscious of It's weight as she sped down the last flight leading to the lover floor when she suddenly realized that she would be trapped between the lobby of the apartment house and the sidewalk, held back by the weight of the suitcase.
 It would be impossible for her to walk as much as a block with

I speak, getting their interest or at- tention so we could influence their
 habits and perhaps prevent fur | ther loss of health. But from the
 first, believe it or not. or Doc Brady has had q conscience, aud accordingly symptoms h ave not
 had much of q play here. By "any social disease" the read- CT who submits the query means syphilis. This is the only "social"
 disease likely to be 'inherited".
 In truth syphilis is not inherited. though too often it is congenital- that is, present at the birth of the child. It may be stated emphatic ally that while we know that syph- ilis may be transmitted directly from parent to child, there is no ground for the common notion that this disease may be transmitted unto the third and fourth genera tion". I am speaking now of the specie disease which we recognize today as syphilis, and not of any consequences or concomitants or this or other serious disease. So child cannot inherit" syph- ills. Unless the child has syphilis when born, it will not develop any manifestations of the disease later on.
 Tho infection of the child by syphilis is contact infection, from the mother. Usually the father has the disease, infects the mother, and she in turn transmits the dis- ease to the unborn baby. The spir- ochetcs or causative organisms of the disease in the mothers blood pass into the blood of the develop ing child. Formerly 1t was the belief of physicians that in some instances a syphilitic father might transmit the disease to his child without infection of the mother. but We know now that this was an error of observation, as proved by the Wasserman blood test which shows that the mother in such in- stance has syphilis which is latent, not active for the time being.
 For the enlightenment of people who may be the victims of vicious gossip, l wish to point out tho in- significance of any symptoms or signs which purport to indicate that child or an adult has syph- ilis. Only a physician can give a reasonably fair opinion as to the significance of any such symptoms or signs and his opinion requires . check with the blood test to make it good enough to go on. So the
 busybodies and the neighborhood gosslps only betray their malice
 when they start whispering this scandal about any child .3f This disease is decidedly iftfec-
 tious through vehereal or through ordinary conact in the first two or
 three years, but persons with old syphilitic lesions, that is, of more
 than three years standing. are no | longer menace to those who come in ordinary contact with
 them. Of course the late tertiary
 internal lesions are never comnu-
 nicablc.

"Postponement of marriage sets up an emotional tension which may create q severe strain on the personality. Since the motive Of life is to function and functioning means doing the things one IS fitted to do, 1t is important to fund ways of mating as soon after physiological maturity as is con sistent with fupctioning of the personality as whole" Dr Hart finds, therefore, the. prospects of married happiness are best when the bride is between 23 and 80 and the groom between 24 and 30.
