BLACK-DRAUGHT
For Clean System Helps
To Prevent Sickness

One of the advantages of Black.
Draught is that, if it is taken at the
first disagreeable feeling Of consti.
patton, one or two doses USUALLY
bring relief. Prompt relief, such as
that, is well worth while. Constipa-
ton is too dangerous to be neglected.
"a clean system for health" plan
has saved thousands of people much
useless sickness. They keep a pack
age of Black-Draught in the family
medicine cabinet and take this pure
ly vegetable laxative at the first sign
of constipation. They say the relief
it brings is mighty hard to beat.
Find out, by trying it, why 50
many people prefer Black-Draught
when it comes to buying laxative.

CHAPTER II

ALX PUT her foot on the run
ming board Of John Sayre's road
ster when she discovered him in
front of her apartment, leaned her
elbow on the door and propped up
one cheek with her appraised hand.
From this position she regarded
him with well assumed exaspera-
ton.
Didn't you know" she said
widening her eyes, that I've been
avoiding you? Hadn't you noticed
that I'm always busy when you ask
me to dine with you?"
He sat back comfortably as
though they were going to engage
in a long and pleasant conversa-
ton right there on 55th street
where the icy breezes from the
river assaulted them with shafts as
sharp as knives.
$50 you have! Was it really be-
cause you wished to avoid me?
Come, come, my girl. what's the
matter with me-"
Nothing" she said and gave
him back a smile as one-sided as
his own.
There's got to be. You don't
make sense. When you avoid a
man, there's a reason for it. I'm
not a wife deserter, I'm kind, con-
siderate :"
e. tall, dark and handsome,
young and rich"
II sound like a fascinating fell
low, don't II"
"Yes," she said it sadly, but
there was a twinkle in her eye.
You are. That's the trouble"
"Alix, it's too cold for you to
stand here"
She laughed resignedly. "All
right, come along up if you like"
She found the electric light
switch and pushed button.
Sayre strobe into her living room
and made it seem smaller. He
looked at her books, her prints, his
eye swept every detail of the room
with an eager, interested gaze.
II like it," he said.
I'm so glad you do" There was
just the right note Of asperity in
Alix's voice. Not that she really
meant it, she was glad he like the
room and knew he did.
"Now, them" he said expansive
ly taking off his great coat, what
about dinner"
Look" she said patiently and,

adults assume when they are 60

he said unexpectedly. 1T puts us
both at disadvantage, doesn't it
But why should it? I'm not going
back and broadcast the informa-
ton that I think you are a charm
ing, intelligent girl and I enjoy
your company. I'm not going to
embarrass you by any familiarity
either here or at the office. And
I'm sure you're not the kind Of a
girl who would take advantage Of
such a situation. You aren't likely
to perch on my desk, are you"
"No, I don't perch we'll" Alix
wanted to be gay but she didn't
feel gay. It wasn't only the bar
rier raised by their work that
stood between her and the pleasant
thing it would be to know John
Sayre. She didn't fear that as
much as she feared her own emo
tons, But she couldn't tell him
that.
'"There is. Of course, the posi-
bility that you don't like me-"
"But I dol" she said. "And I
have some agency matters want
to talk about so perhaps I had bet
ter dine with you. I want to ask
you if you think I should take the
bonus from the Warner company
for one thing"
The bonus had come direct from
Bill Warner himself with letter
telling her that he could always
use her in his company. She &C.
copied the bonus check and de-
clined the offer gracefully.
Alix and John ate that Thanks

leveled off as their companionship
grew. Oh, yes, it grew. One night
he called her after nine and asked
her to see a late movie with him.
Another night he took her to hear
"Bohene"; another to see the BAL
let Russo.
The Sunday afternoon before
Christmas he telephoned her at
four and asked her if she would
have tea with him at the Clare
mont far up on Riverside drive. It
was the day of the first snowfall.
The snow had stopped falling
above four and the ground was
covered with a soft, white blanket.
Silver hung from. the trees.
She asked him to pick her up at
Kathleen's apartment. She wanted
Kathleen to meet him. They didn't
go to the Claremont that day.
Kathleen kept them for tea and
talked to John for nearly an hour
II like him." she said to Alix
II seem to like all your men.
like Bill Boyd, too. Very much"
She hoped Alix would tell her
which man of these three-there
were three with Kinn-she liked
best. t'' 100 F
"7e looks like Clark Gable"
Alix laughed. (which one?
Bill or John?"
John, silly, as though you didn't

Alix told her nothing.

+ Kim who fingered near AK, whose
devotion was obvious to John.
Under cover Of his conversation
with his hostess, John watched
Alix's reaction to that devotion,
saw the intimacy of the two. This
girl, so much younger than him
self, and the handsome boy her
own age.
Christmas morning he sent her
a box Of long-stemmed roses, great
red roses that filed her apartment
with a rich fragrance. Before she
left for Kathleen's house where
she was to dine, she wrote him a
little note to thank him.
She thought perhaps he might
ask her to spend New Years Eve
with him. She had no reason to
think he would. She saw him fire.
quently but she had no reason to
believe he would single her out.
Yet she hoped, even when she ac-
cepted an invitation to join some
friends at the Montclair Golf club
party.
Alix had dined with him two
days before but he didn't mention
the holiday. She hadn't the least
idea what he was going to do and
he didn't tell her.
He wanted to be with her, that
she knew. But being a woman,
she had to be analytical about it.
What was he thinking? How did
he feel about her? Was she just
good companion or did he have any
feeling of-'affection' was the
word she used-for her?
He f1attered her. He flirted with
her but he never made love to her.
That kiss in the country might
never have been. There had been
times when she thought he was
going to kiss her again. Times
when her perfumed hair was close
to him, when she could smell the
scent Of tobacco and a clean
smelling masculine fragrance in his
coat so close to her shoulder.
If he had made love to her, she
would have stopped him. Because
he didn't, ideas began to shape in
her mind. Questions. Wondering
why?
Was he as conscious as she Of
the gulf that divided them? IF she
had been a girl in his own set,
would he have shown her so much
devotion without explaining his
feelings? Was this going to be
another working of the pattern Of
Observation-Disclosures? Light
love ending in unhappiness
Not if she could help it.
Then he told her he was giving
a small dinner for 20 at his apart
ment and wanted her to be there.
She bought herself a dinner
gown of rich wine velvet with a
great, heavy girdle Of gold.
Garcia Cushing was his hostess
at the dinner table. Alix, with a
familiar sickening feeling, was
placed between two strangers. And
no matter where she looked or
what she said or what was said to
her, was conscious only of the
beautiful, sure Carola-statuesqu
in black-at the end of the table.
Carola's voice dimmed everything,
else. IL
Garcia saying to John Sayre,
John, darling, may borrow your
town car, tomorrow"
And John saying, Certainly" as
though it were absurd for Garcia
to ask for anything that was his.

 Paris (UP)-The little jacket has become a great fashion feature. It is seen in hundreds of varying styles, and as many materials, and 1t does wonders in making a new outfit form last years skirt or in putting new life into an old eve- ming gown.
 Since almost all jackets are more or less tailored this season, the for mality of the costume depends chiefly on the cloth of the jacket. Woolens. tweeds, linens, chintz and pique are seen for daytime wear, while taffeta, broacade, lame and cire satin are used for evening wear
 Reversible weaves are popular for this type of garment, one side of the material being used for the outside of the jacket and the other side of the cloth making a lining and rcveres and cuffs.
 Black crepe patterned in small figures of white stage coaches drawn by galloping horses is used for a fitted jacket that could do for either afternoon or dinner wear. The wide reveres and the lining of the jacket show the reverse side of the material with black stage coaches and horses on white back ground.
 Another good pattern for @ jacket shows enormous leg-o- mutton sleeves, small turned-over collar and fiaring back peplum. Tn black taffeta, 1t is formal enough for eve- ming wear, in plain dark wool over a plaid or checked skirt, 1t makes street outfit.
 The short loose coat with fulness coming from square shoulder yoke is made with 6 high plain neckline and with lss1g sleeves which puff above the elbow and stand up absve the normal shoulder lire. In black crepe 1t Is appropriate as a summer evening wrap in wool 1t can be worn over crerc dress.

Your Baby's Health
Mothers Should Seek Proper Medical
 Aid For Successful Childbirth

know when to call for medical as- sistance.
 A midwife may be able to recog- nize the presence of excessive bleeding, convulsions, swelling, and similar complications, but not many can recognize unfavorable physical conditions and wrong position of the child sufficiently early to en- able the mother to get the kind of help necessary.
 Whether a midwife, 8 general practitioner, or a specialist should have charge of the childbirth is wholly up to the mother. There are few places in the country where there is adequate control of midwives. The attention of @ spec ialist in obstetrics in the best hos pital is rather more expensive than that of a general practitioner.
 Furthermore, there are hardly enough obstetric specialists in the United States today to take care of all women in childbirth. General practitioners, therefore, handle most of the childbirths which oc- cur.
 Tn uncomplicated cases, most general practitioners can secure ex- cclIent results. There is always the possibility, however. that they will not be able to give as many hours of time to the individual case as can be given by specialists.
 The work of the general prac- titioner takes him into all kinds of cases, and he may occasionally have to pass from an infected per- son to the woman in childbirth. All these considerations should be carefully weighed by the woman who is going to have baby.

Reducing, says a bulletin distri- buted by food interests, cannot be accomplished without injury unless 1t is done under the guidance of a skillful physician.
 Hooey.
 I reduced thirty pounds recently and had only the guidance of or Doc Brady.
 I made bad start in my reduc- ton program. began taking a certain chemical (better not even mention 1t now) which had just been introduced by some good phy- sicians. This chemical has the ef- feet of speeding up metabolism. It literally burns off excess fat. But alas 1t soon developed that the won- derful new medicine had some pretty serious side effects, notably q tendency to cause cataract, and two or three persons who took too much of 1t died of the toxic effects. I had lost six pounds in three weeks when these alarming observations were made. I decided I'd rather be corpulent than corpse. My only re- gret is that I permitted my en- thusiasn to get the better of my judgment and recommend the chemical in this coleumn. When I recommended 1t I warned that it could be safely given only under the personal supervision of a phy- sician; compared 1t with insulin in that respect.
 This chemical had been intro duced to the profession in the columns of the Jour. American Medical Association, than which no other authoritative medium pur- ports to be more reliable. Later the Journal warned its readers as promptly as waned mine about the danger.
 A few months after that experi- ment, when was still trying to make up my mind whether to be- come resigned to a shortened life, as one must if one takes on excess weight after thirty, or whether to give up murder stories altogether and the buttered popcorn that goes with them--I couldn't enjoy the one without the other--a medical friend found the solution of my problem and. I believe, of the cause, pre- vention and cure of nutritional obesity. This is my opinion two years afterward. I am more firmly con- vinccd of it now than l was when I first applied my colleagues sug- gestion and reduced to normal weight comfortable and readily.
