diseased tonsils. Often the only
thins was an operation, so oper-
ate you did. That meant you
were doctor, nurse, anesthetist.
You had to administer the an
esthetic and sterilize instru-
mentS as well as operate. At
times you would operate on
three or four members of a
family in one morning.
From choice, the farm kitchen
was usually the operating room.
For one thing it was scrubbed
clean, and there was more SUM-
shine. The alternative was the
parlor. That was the room re-
served for the parsons visit or
for when someone in the family
died. 1t was dark, dismal and
dusty. So the kitchen got the
call.

Parents Suspicious
OF Operations

When these clinics first began,
many parents refused to let
their children be operated on.
They had grown up suspicious
of operations, and if little John
or Mary wasn't actually Ill, they
saw no reason why anything
should be done about them. But
after a few years these parents
saw other children who had
been operated on outstrip their
own at school. They developed
faster because they no longer
had chronic colds. Their SyS-
TENS had ceased to absorb
poisons from diseased tonsils.
And so today it is rare indeed,
up in this country, for parents
to refuse to have their children
operated on.

NeUer Lost
A Patient

Those we're the days when we
used to worry about hemor-
rhages. I can tell you that
when I was out in the country
operating under those conditions
and I would run up against a
bleeder, it just scared the day
lights out of me. Yet I don't
think that in 26 years of prac-
tice I ever lost a patient whose
tonSilS I had removed.
In recent times the lot of the
doctor in this north country has
been greatly lightened by the
Red Cross Society. Once year
that great society brings the
pick of the cities surgeons
through the north. Clinics are
held, and I have seen as many
as rs children operated on in
one morning.
Before the day Of the clinic,
nurses go from school to school
and pick out the worst cases.
These are brought before the
great city surgeons who operate
without charge whatever, while
we country physicians stand
about and marvel at their skill
and wonder how we ever got
along as well as we did. The
mountain, in truth, has come
to Mahomet.

to the feminine pedestrians
varied "get-ups." Some days
the style scene is very, very
good; some days it's very,
very bad. Yesterday it was
neither. 1t was just plain
eccentric.
All Seemed
OUerdresSed
We don't mean, however, that
the girls were badly dressed.
Far from it! They were just
ferociously "over-dreSSed."
We passed at least half a
dozen young ladies who looked
as if they'd read 20 fashion
magazines this last month and
not only had taken every fash
ion tip in every magazine seri-
ously, but also had tried to pile
on everything new at one fell
swoop.
There was the pretty brunette
on the corner of Fifty-SeVenth
Street and Fifth Avenue, for
instance, who certainly took
this sudden color craze for
purple right to heart. Which
is all right in itself, as purple
is the" color this Season-but
with moderation.
Our Fifth Avenue friend chose
the most vibrant tone of this
color for her jacket suit which
fitted perfectly and would have
been smart as the dickens on its
own.
Entire Effect
Was Too Awful
But by the time the wearer
added a high-necked, purple
jersey suit; a purple felt fedora
Swathed with ten yards OF
purple yelling, and Sported
black suede brogues with purple
platform Soles. the whole effect
was awful.
Her huge black antelope bag
was a knockout but by some
strange device, she attached it
to a purple walking stick which
she swung jauntily as she
Sauntered down the avenue.
Again we repeat, she was a
very nice looking girl, and obvi-
ouSly had spent a small fortune
for this costume, but she was
the best walking ad we've ever
seen for the right and wrong
way of sponsoring a new
fashion.
A few blocks down this famous
thoroughfare we came face to
face with the girl who took this
business of the return of fragile
femininity much, much too seri-
ously. Her hair, pulled high,
was topped by a rakiSh little
pillbox of mauve "a lovely COLOR
but she tied her veil in a bow
on top of the hat, behind her
head, and finally in a big loop
at the front of her neck.
Tiny black velvet bows went
to her eartips for ornaments,
and bows went to the toes of her
pumps. She Sheathed her
shapely stems with goSSamer
black net stockings and, to the
lapel of her stunning mink coat,
she pinned a huge mauve flower
attached to a black velvet bow.

In previous letter, later clari-

NAACP stating its change Of policy

The law to which the Metropolitan

it unlawful for any insurance COM

How to Be Happy

a IL desire to be happy. But

happiness. One who Ii selfish can

happiness.
What is the nature of Love, and
how can we learn 90 express 1T? God
is Love. Since God Is Spirit, Prin-
