boat?" asked Tubby. perching on
the edge of the bed until the springs
sagged dangerously.
'Tubby. you're the grandest sight
I've seen in days." cried 10. But
how'd you hear about the acct
dent?"
Say, when Peter Fragonet goes
out in a speedboat-that's newsl"
At JOS startled look, Tubby laughed
and added. Don't worry. The pa
per didn't say who the girl was. 1
didn't know until 1 got here that
it was you. But when they told me
downstairs that you'd been injured
in a ssilboat accident I multiplied
four by the day of the month, sub
tracted the age of my little brother
and got 10 Darien! Now tell me
all about it. How did it happen?"
I'd rather not talk about it,
really, Tubby. You're going to stay
a while, aren't you?"
I'm going to stay until my money
runs out" Tubby assured her You
don't know how exclusive this place
is. I practically had to present ref
erences."
10 gave a relieved sigh. I'm aw-
fully glad you're going to be here
a while, Tubby. And 1 can tell you
all about it little later"
Sure" said her former room
mate, the thing for you to do now
is get out of this bed"
"The nurse says l can be up in
two or three days"
III bet Bret will be glad to see
you again." Tubby said.
Bret? Why, what do you mean.
Tubby?"
L mean Bret. Want me to spell
it? said I'd bet he would be glad
TO see you up and around again"
But I plan to stay here at Crest
Lake, Tubby That is, if Mr. Marsh
lsn't-isnt too disguised with my
awkwardnesS."
IT was Tubby's turn to look as
Il tonished. DO you mean to tell
me you didn't know Bret Paul was
here?"
For a moment 10 could not speak
Then with an effort she asked slow
ly, rs Bret really here, Tubby?"

them. Before we know it, then,
feeling ourselves perhaps fooled and
cheated by life, we grow intolerant
and rude, refusing to listen to an
others opinion, and are quite likely
to become very unpleasant compan-
ions.
All our bad qualities seem to pre-
dominate. If we are stingy in our
youth, we become misers in age. If
we are inconsiderate, we become
mean; if we are anti-social, we grow
Grabbed and cranky.
Keeping ones face and body young
is feat which is not really to be
accomplished over any great length
of time. But it is possible for us
TO keep our dispositions young, by
dint OF constant wdtchfulnesS and
a periodic check-up of ourselves.
When you go to your doctor for a
physical animation, which should
be a yearly occurrence, it would be
good idea to go also to some
member of the family or trusted
friend and have her make a dag
nosis Of your temper.

The other nodded. Il met him
not 10 minutes ago down near the
lake, and I supposed he'd been
here most of the summer. He must
have come while you were laid up
but it's certainly strange he didn't
send word to you" Suddenly Tub
by's face fell. He probably planned
to surprise you and now I've let
the cat out of the bag"
10 was silent, staring duly from
the window, and Tubby added, You
don't seem very glad about it."
I'VE quarreled, Tubby, just before
I came down here. He didn't want
me to come, and he said if I did
come we were all through. You
were right. Babs Montgomery had
let him know that l went dancing
that night with Marsh"
She would" said Tubby feelinglys
"Babs is here, too. with her par
entS."
We'll, doesn't that make every
thing lovely" Tubby stood up and
her eyes blazed with fierce loyalty.
Il suppose she's been making it
as unpleasant as she could"
10 smiled. She hasn't been aw-
fully cordial, but then 1 don't
mind that, 1t was BabS who told
Marsh that Bret and ! were very
much in love- She told him he'd
be doing a nice thing if he gave
Bret a job as life guard down here
for the summer"
Il begin to get it," said Tubby,
nodding wisely. She was afraid
maybe you we're going to cop off
this millionaire, and that would
burn her plenty"
Now, Tubby," 10 laughed, you're
always looking for a good row!" But
her laughter stopped as quickly as
it had begun, and she dropped her
gaze Soberly to the coverlet. "Tubby
I wish Bret hadn't come. Every
things all mixed up, and-and I
don't know which way to turn"
Turn to me-" Tubby said. L
have a bunch you haven't told me
everything that's happened down
here"

NO we grow more loVaole, KIND
~ and unselflsh as we grow old?
All of us would like to think so,
I believe, although 1 am assured by
the matron of an old peoples home
that such is not the case.
THE really sweet, benevolent, old
lady" she writes "at least as have
known her in institutions of this
kind, is a rare individual"
We must not forget she is look
ing on the darkest side of the pic
ture. but it would hardly be sensible
to discredit the opinion of one who
has spent the most of her life with
the aged. The average commonta-
tor, without such experience, is in
clined to glorify old age.
Our experience in watching peo-
pie become middle-aged is enough
to diSillusion us. For as our years
increase our idiocyncrasies become
more pronounced our prejudiceS
harden and set" our imperfections
are more obvious because we make
les effort to conceal or overcome

CAPE Collar Dress
by ELLEN WORTH

Here's darling little dress-and
so unbelievably simple to sew.
Well, it could almost be run up
before breakfast.
Two ways to make! Smart either
way-with or without the remov-
able cape collar.
For playtime you'll prabably
choose from the very practical cot
tons as crinkly crepe prints, percale
prints, broadcloths, ginghams, ETC.,
and trim with contrasting bias
binds.
For daintier wear, it is just as
pretty as can be of sheer cottons as
dimity, batiste, dotted swiss, organ
die, etc.
Style No. 524 is designed for sizes
2, 4 and 6 years. Size requires two
yards of 39-inch material with one
and one-half yards of 1-inch rib
bon for dress with collar and one
and one-half yards of 35-inch ma
terial for dress without collar.
Summer fashion book contains
many more smart, cool vacation
clothes Price, 10 cents.

Storm RACES
Will Stewart, New York,
Among Passengers
Getting Thrill.
BY HELEN W0RDEN
Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, July 29.-The Sc
L ' ries Of summer showers that
are sweeping the city also have
touched Watch Hill.
A particularly violent storm broke
over the Rhode Island resort. The
wind howled The lightning flashed
and the thunder doomed. Above the
roar Of the storm the people OF
Watch Hill could hear the zOom of
an airpane A sudden blaze Of
lightning revealed big hydroplane
swoOping rapidly down to the sea.
A minute later the flying machine
was taxing across the water to the
beach. Gently nOsing into the sand.
1t came 70 a stop. Out climbed what
was left Of Harrison Williams
house party.
Among the guests was William
Rhinelander Stewart. 1T was pref
~ exciting" he said. The storm
came up about half an hour after
We took off from Martha's Vineyard.
We didn't know exactly where We
were. But il turned out all right.
The people at Watch Hill were very
nice. and we had delicious din
ner at the beach hotel"

Chief of Air Service.
Scripps- Howard Junior Aviator

A N outstanding feature of the
IA recent National Air Races vat
Cleveland was the fact that they
were completed without a single
fatal or serious accident on the fly
ing field.
The case of Cecil Allen, who was
killed shortly after the take-off
from Burbank, Cal, for the Bendix
Trophy Race, was the one exception
in an otherwise perfect record.
Crashing in rebuilt Gee-Bee racer,
Aliens accident practically accounts
for the last Of the Gee-Bee speed
ships. Every one that had been
built has cracked up and washed
out.
The absence of fatalities at the
races is worthy of comment because
of the fact that competing ships and
engines were pushed to the limits
of power and endurance For IN
stance, the Bendix racing planes
we're highly supercharged, requir-
ing that they be operated at high
attitudes.
When I asked Bonnie Howard,
winner of the BendiX, how high he
had to fly to avoid the horrible
weather, he casually replied that he
topped one bad storm at about
81 900 feet. In other words, while
ground people walk around in
muddy spots in the road, aviators
climb over them.
And that's all storms are to the
airman-just muddy spots in his
flight.
The BendiX race has developed
into high-altitude affair because
the boys can get more power cut
of their "souped-up" engines at high
