climate it preferred. Menlo Park

down the peninsula from San Fran

ideal place, and they had bought
the Tracy house, right next door to

the week when Madeleine Hardisty
was a year old.
The Hardistys' old-fashioned plase
was spacious. plain, comfortable.

cent, and yet there was a charm
ing little halt in Serenas s words
now and then, a slight clinging and
lingering that marked her as not
all English-born.

Il have. And they make it hard
for me ever to get away"
But do come and see me. Ex-

and face. Il am quite strange in
California.
I'VE were in school in Paris to-
gtther, Serena and l, but | didn't
know they were here until last
week." Phyllis explained.
If you know Phyllis you know
everybody; she's the special min
lister between Europe and Amer
ica," Victoria said. I'VE were in
the Assumption in Rome together,
too, but we had known each other
before that"
You were at the Assumption?
How / hated it," Serena said, m

the three laughed together. Then
Phyllis went away, and Victoria
could study at her ease the extraor-
dinary beauty Of the flower like face
in the clear shadow of the parasol.
Exquisite womanhood; those were
the two words that Serena suggest
ed.
There was a silence filled with
faint distant sounds and the click of
balls. The club gardens blazed with
flowers; there were stretches of
green lawn beneath the trees; the
sun shone warmly.
There, who's that?" Serena sud-
denly asked, with the first sign of
animation in voice and manner that
Vicky had seen her.
Which one?"

Spa or water resort
treatment now find that the drinking
Of sulphur and salt or saline wa
ters is not considered as important
as the application of heat in the
various forms now available at
these resorts.
DR.. c. w. Buckley, in the Journal
of State Medicine, London, says:
1.-THE effect Of course of min
eral water drinking may be due to
purgation or purging, cleansing the
bowel or intestine, and so remov-
ing toxins or poisons: this will be
the effect of strong sulphur and sa-
line waters; and to flushing of
the kidneys and the tissues gener-
ally. In most rheumatic conditions,
however, the external use of water
in the form of baths, douches, and
other methods is generally consid-
cred to be more important than the
drinking Of the waters"
What are the effects of the use Of
these hot baths, douches, and other
heat methods?
Dr. Buckley states that the effects
are due to heat, mechanical, and
chemical action that takes place in
the body tissues. The heat effects
will be the same whatever the char
acter of the water employed and
will influence rheumatic conditions
by improving the flow of blood es-
pecially in the skin and outer It's
sues.

hedge that separated the two gar
dens, crossing the Hardistys' old
tennis court and. skirting the berry
patch. threading her way under the
oaks and over the lawn, and finally
discovering what she later had de-
Scribed to her nurse as the most
fascinating family she had ever
met: a mother who was fixing the
puppy's hurt head with rags and
water and medicines, and boys
named Kenty and Dicky and Bobs.
and girls named Gwen and Sue, and
a baby that could walk.
The adult members of the family
did not meet so simply. 1t was at
a country-club lunch that Victoria
first noticed the straw-haired woman
and identified her as the beauty
Quentin had noticed more than a
year earlier. Everyone was MOTTO
ing Serena that day and asking
about her; it was her first social
appearance since the long-ago night
at the opera, although she had been
in her new house for almost a
month.
Quentin and some of the other
men had been playing golf since
breakfast time; Victoria had come
later to the club to carry her hus-
band home for lunch. With Gwen
and her two older children she was
watching the tennis when she saw
Mrs. Morrison for the first time;
presently Phyllis Tichnor came up
with the newcomer in tow.
Vic, you know Mrs. Morrison?"
Il don't" Vic said. smiling. I'm
so glad to! l remember seeing Mrs.
Morrison at the opera last year,
and l think our children know each
other?"
Our children?" echoed the beau
tiful Mrs Morrison, raising the del
icate dark line of her eyebrows.
Isn't your small girl Gita Stew
art?"
You ought to know each other"
said Phyllis. You live right near.
Is there a place between you and
the Tracy house or aren't you right
next door?"
''Oh, of course we are" Serena
said slowly, with no change of ex-
preston beyond a hint of languid
curiosity. IT'S your children Gita
talks to Amah about?"
II am not a very formal person.
You can't be, when you have six
children" Vicky explained, when
they were comfortably seated,
watching the tennis. But l do
mean to come and see you one Of
these days."
You have six children" The
beautiful voice could not be said to
