Maru Brown Buns B|ouseS

asking permission, he began to invest
her head with an aureole of curlicues,
the like of which, though familiar
enough on those waXen effigies ex-
plotting the cunning of the hairdress-
er,s art; seemed scarcely credible on
tan face powder she was moved to
buy and sample then and there, quite
UNI lipstick.
"Madamoiselle is too-too charming"
gushed the overdone lady at the cash
desk.
Mary Brown thought so herself, as
she demolished hundred franc note
without blinking. She gave the artist
who had managed all this, 10 francs
for himself. and agreed that it would
be pity to put on her hat.
1t would be a pity, too, to board
bus straightaway and go back to Nice
before it was really necessary. Just
across from the bus-stop was the en-
trancing Cafe de Paris where all the
world was at this moment taking aft
ernoon refreshment according to its
varying national tastes.
An empty table was not easy to
come by. but Mary Brown still chung
wilfully to the tatters of her timidity
and could not bring herself to take
a seat at one already occupied.
Perhaps it wasn't the custom here,
anyway, as in the popular teashops
at home. But as she was looking around
some people got up and she pounced
on the table they were vacating, Sc
curing it only lick ahead of French
family, no less determined than she
was, but less fluid owing to the weight
Of numbers.
She pumped down, secretly elated,
but streSSing innocence with a bland
expression that was almost instantly
changed to one of CONSERVATION. The
frustrated family, muttering, moved
on, but not in solid formation, until
young man with a game leg. pro-
pelling himself with the help of two
walking sticks, had disentangled him
self from their midst.
Yes, the same young man who, with
out doubt, had been on the point of
speaking to Mary Brown in the Boule-
yard DIES Moulins. And now. indeed,
he did speak, and his grin was a trifle
more lopsided and impudent than be-
fore.
THAT was pretty slick teamwork"
he said, and dropped into one of the
empty chairs. Il hope you noticed how

She blushed through her newly ac-
CURED suntan and made hastily as If
to rise.
"oh, sister. have a heart, don't go.
It's your table and I'll go, if you
say I've got to-but if only you knew
how lonely am, you wouldn't. Look
see that?" he thrust out his muffled
foot, making a hasty bid for sympathy.

her other and less expensive blouses.
Failing those, he offered bed jackets,
nightgowns, -panties- everything in the
window, in fact.
Finally. the tragic truth came out,
and, of course, he had known all along.
That blouse she wanted at almost any
price. now, would not fit Mary Brown.
1t was too narrow across the shoulders
and too short in the sleeves, so, of
course, nothing could be done about it.
She was but family relieved and so
disappointed that she could have wept.
The coveted symbol of this enchanting
experience was to slip from her after
all. Her eyes were wet as she began
to move towards the door. And then,
miraculously the paunchy little shop
keeper broke into English and some
/ thing like enthusiasm.
The idea seemed not to occur to
him before that he could copy this
very same material, the exact buttons

"Mais, je roster in Nice" she in
formed him anxiously, land I'm leaving

hands to let him count her fingers
and thumbs.
Apparently that presented no OBJ
stacle to the now fully inspired mer-
chant. If she would give him the adj
dress Of her pension he could promise
finished and reach her in plenty OF
time. Only, of course, made to meas
ure, it would cost trifle more. Fifty
francs more, in fact.
Did she want it as much as all that,
and could she truly trust this man
thing just a trifle fishy about him
even when he was warmed up.
The matter was settled by a ravaged
female accessory who appeared as by
magic all of her own accord, armed
with tape measure and grubby
notebook.
Five minutes later Mary Brown
walked out of the shop with the change
from the thousand franc note Mr. Nc
Oregon, had so kindly given her to
enjoy herself with; and nothing else
had left 450 francs behind her together
with her name and address.
1t wasn't because she was trusting
by nature. In the furry and excite
ment of the moment she simply forgot
to ask for receipt. In London one
would have been offered a paper, of
pins, but the thrifty foreigner had
of the tax stamp which must come
out OF his own pocket.
No, at the moment Mary Brown was
in mood of too great exhilaration, as
sometimes happens when one has gone
the limit to think of anything but

Wong Suns Chinese Herbs, which I
did. Now. after taking the herbs for
only few weeks, I am feeling much
better. My back and shoulders do not
ache any more, and the swelling is
completely gone from my hands and

Hippocrates Was Right on the Theory
Of Going to Bed for Treatment of Cold

After 2, 400 years of preoccupation
with the common cold, the medical
profession, as represented by the
technicians of the Stillman infirmary
at Harvard university, has decided
that the best treatment for this uni
versal malady is to 60 to bed. AS
this was the treatment favored by
hippocrates, the results of all the
scientific experiments which have
been conducted since it was first
promulgated can be represented by
a single zero, comments a st. Louis
Dispatch editorial writer.
In the circumstances, afflicted hui
manly would be acting reasonably
if it classified the cold as one of the
unacceptable phenomena of life and
behaved accordingly. After all,
though bed is not the universal
refuge it once was, it is not bad
place. Even when the concurrent
dreams are troubled, they are no
worse than the realities with which
the conscious mind has to grapple.
Unfortunately, no such easy es-
cape is possible to civilization
which has placed its faith in science.
