them and an invitation to visit.
Not that there was any open an
tagonism. BY no means! The
neighbors, and especially Mrs. Jarrow
and Mrs. Walker, In their normally
effusive manner, were always too
delighted" to see her and were al
ways quite willing to accept an in
vitation to tea.
Mrs. Jarrow, with her peculiar gift
of unearthing facts concerning her
neighbors. was not the kind to keep
her information idle. She supplied
the groups Of ladies' organizations
with her choicest tidbits Of scandal
and favored them with an amazingly
logical set Of conjectures. She usually
preluded. her talks, bending over
bridge table, with the confidential
remark: you know, Of course, my
dears. that this mustn't 60 an inch
farther than this table,"
nNE morning Mrs. Jarrow called
~ Mrs. Walker. The exultant ring
in her voice told Mrs. Walker that
something was afoot.
Stella" said Mrs. Jarrow. you'll
never know who Just drove in"
Stella, who was always obliging,
hazarded the names Of several dis
tant relatives of Mrs. Jarrow.
Way OF my dear. It's Nancy
Wade. You remember her. She's
been living the last four years in
Reno"
The magic name took its effect.
There's loads too much to tell
you over the phone, Stella. Got your
shopping done? Good! Well,
meet us at the grocer's In 10 minutes.
Good-by."
Mrs. Jarrow, with Nancy, arrived
at the store and eyed the shining
sport roadster belonging to Mrs. Mel
vim parked in front, with a trace Of
resentment fully concealed as she
greeted Stella and Mrs. Melvin inside.
Introduction followed and Mrs. Jar
row and Stella. with satisfaction, ac-
cepted an afternoon invitation to
tea for their guest.
Al MRS. MELVIN drove away with
friendly good-by Nancy turned
to Mrs. Jarrow, Marie, darling. that
Melvin woman was living in Reno
three years ago."
Too hopeful to be convincing in her
words, Mrs. Jarrow replied. Why,
Nancy, you must be mistaken!"
With pleasure Nancy noticed the
Mortified gasp Of Stella. Impossible,
my dear. I'm positive. She estab-
lished residence prior to a divorce"
Stella looked at Mrs. Jarrow. A
mutual light cleaned in their glance.
I'll bet Mr.. Melvin doesn't know!"
"Nonsense-but it'd be strange If
he didn't" Mrs. Jarrow mused.
Stella hesitated a bit at . new
thought. Marie, don't you think
it is our absolute duty to tell him if
he doesnt?"
The ladies awaited the visit in

| couple, Mr.. Melvin. So congenial and
happy" Mrs. Jarrow beamed.
"Yes, indeed, Mrs. Jarrow." said
Melvin. "Helen and are quite salts
fed here in your attractive town.
OF course, we have been living in
large city, but we are essentially
q small-town couple"
He turned to Nancy. IT suppose you
sense the peacefulness here after
Reno, don't you, Mrs. Wade?"
"Oh. dear, yes," said Nancy with Q
little preoccupied laugh. The de-
making demands on her attention.
But love to travel. Do you travel
much, Mrs. Melvin?"
VERY little, I'm afraid. I've seen
the few usual places. Niagara, yell
lowstone. Chicago and very little else.
7 lived West for Q while"
THE two neighbors exchanged an
= imperceptible nod. She was
walking right into it. Nancy, with
q premeditated start, sat up. "Now
I know where I've seen you before.
Mrs. Melvin"
Nancy shot the words out with
their implications. IN Reno, wasn't
it? Three years ago?"
Mr.. Melvin looked at his wife and
then at the three guests with an
amused glance. Gosh, Helen, we're
caught up with. Well, 1t really isn't
any secret. You see, several years
ago we let some meddlesome old
women with talents for shopping that
rivaled q herd of old sows, come
between us and part US.
They were Just scandalmongers
bent on separating us for some un-
movable reason. Jealousy, maybe;
their husbands must have mistreated
them dreadfully-or Just total in
capacity to mind their own business.
They succeeded for time. Mrs. Mel
win got a divorce; but We had sense
enough to see our mistake. So we
remarked"
THE ladies smiled benignly and
very shortly found urgent for
gotten duties at home that needed
attention.
After their departure. Helen looked

cup Harry" she said.
"Yes, dear"
'It's true. you know. I was In Reno"
Her voice threatened tears.
II know, dear"
"You know!"
"Yes, found out recently. I'd have
told you, but you evidently didn't want
me to know and so it's your secret as
far as I'm concerned, and after all, 1t
doesn't matter Nothing matters but
us. No old fool meddlers are going to
change that. Did you see the face
on that Wade woman" He threw
his head back and laughed, but Nancy
was more serious.

cases of this disenss follow nn at- tack of common cold. the bulletin said. Among other dangerous com pIications are sinusitis, rnastodltis, meningitis and middle ear infec- tions. The cold is frequently fol- lowed by a "f1are-lp" of an old tuberculosis infection.
 The cold is a communicable ois- ease, which may be caused by one of several germs which enter the body by way of the nose or mouth. The incubation period is short and the onset may come a few hours after exposure. Germs present in the secretions of the nose and throat are transferred to other per- sons by coughing, sneezing, kissing shaking hands, or handling objects with which persons come into con- tact. The person with cold should be made to understand that he or she is a potential menace to those with whom contact is made.
 The rules given in the bulletin are as follows:
 1. Avoid crowds and persons who are i'll during the "cold" season.
 2. Avoid over-heated rooms, too much clothing and sudden changes
