Treatment
of Sites

What treatment is used for s:fesy
Sites are small boils forming
around the hair follicles Of the eye
lashes. They tend to occur when
there is astigmatism or lifting
glasses. Why, is hard to explain,
but it is probably because the eye
lids itch then, and rubbing with the
fingers brings infection to the edges
Of the eyelids. Rubbing of any kind
on sites is bad business, SO that let's
the ancient practice of rubbing with
the wedding ring out. Application
of cold or heat, until the sly comes
to a head, is best. Recurrent sites
are usually caused by rubbing. Pre-
vention of recurrent sites is to paint
lightly, with camel's llair brush, a
10 per cent solution of alcohol along
the edge Of the eyelids.

means of which an official health
agency can protect its citiZenry
against the hazards of certain COM
municable diseases. Other essen
tials are employees free from di-
sease, and sanitary environment
for their endeavors."
The inspectors do not have to use
meteorological apparatus to de-
termine the efficiency with which
glasses are cleaned. They use swabs,
soap, chemicals and occasionally a
microscope. A sanitary environment
for the employee is a self-evident
necessity since the dirty, ill-kept
establishment encourages slovenly
practices in the employee. A we'll
kept, scrupulously-clean eating or
drinking place not only stimulates
employees to good food-handling
practice, but also encourages pat
rOnage.
Mechanical devices and chemical
products, however, are not substi-
tutes for the common sense appli-
cation of long-known principles Of
cleansing procedures, such as a3e-
quate and safe hot and cold W .er
SUI plies, ample detergents and a

Fabienne said, "Nicky-"
Slowly her aunt shook her head
Defantly, Fabienne said, "Nicky

he'd make something Of himself
do you mean that you want him
to go to work?
Fabienne nodded.
II don't know about Nicky. He
might, but I would say that he
wouldn't do it unless he had to
work to make someone love him.
Another girl, perhaps, could do it.
But if he'd been going to do it for
you, he'd have done it long ago."
"You don't know Nicky, Aunt

had told her when she left, but she
went to a hotel.
When she had unpacked, she tele-
phoned Ellen. At her apartment,
then at Willoughby house. Miss
Chapman is not in" she was told 1T
both places.
She dressed leisurely, putting on
the black velvet dress with it's fire
lace at neck and wrists, the
wrapped turban Of black and green
and gold from which her soft, silk
hair r1owed like a page boys. She
touched perfume to fer throat and
the tips of her ears, selected snowy
gloves. She dressed as carefully as
if she were attending an opening
night of Broadway's most exciting
play-all for a bunch of little
Italian, Irish, Chinese kids in a set
| Element house!
The play was to begin at eight.
1t was just quarter to when Fa-
bienne's taxi drew up before Will
loughby house. Fabienne gave a bill
to the driver and said, Keep the
change"
Her legs felt watery as she
climbed the familiar steps and went
through the corridor to the hall
that led to backstage. She parted
the curtains and whoop Of well
come went up!
Miss Seymour! Hey, kids!
She's here"
1t was very satisfying. They

She was ringed around with
funny little faces that were gro-
tesque with makeup. Little faces
that shone with delight. THEY
LIKED HER!
She said reproachfully, and
trifle shakily, "You didn't think I'd
refuse your invitation, did you?
And do you all know your parts?

She said, very sternly, Nov, run

weeks and you're going to do It
perfectly for me-yes ?"
A chorus of young voices, 1--WE

Fabienne had to turn her face
away. Silly girl, she had tears in
her eyes. She had to turn away to
where no one would see her. She
turned to the left, Bill Mallory
caught her with both hands to keep
her from running into him.

Now, I'd better see Molly about

Small bag?" he called after her.
"Oh. very. I shall only stay day

For a stay of only day or two,

over a black velvet frock.
He did, my dear. We miss you

The girl dropped the dress and
came over to her aunt to lay her
cheek against Edna's for a mo-
ment. She loved Uncle Mark and
Aunt Edna so much today. She

She was filled with good humor
