FIRE SPREADS

FIRE SPREADS
Suddenly Eva jumped and
cried: ouch" They gaped
in horror at their feet.
Clarissa had dropped a match
in a finder dry pile of needles
and leaves.
The fuse fizzled out, but the
real fire did well, leaping
along with steady, sinister
cracking. The girls fell on
it, stamping, beating with
futile sticks.
They didn't hear the police
whistle from the rock where
the boys sat, nor the fire
wagon changing up from the
village.
ClariSsa crashed through
the underbrush, careless of
scratches and of feet scorched
through thin slippers. Eva
stumbled after her, into the
sanctuary of rock pile.
Fudge and Bud &c fell
valiantly on the fire. And
then a spark touched off a
golden flower pot. 1t burst
merilly into bloom.
Bulge leaped in the air as
a giant cracker exploded
under his feet. Red snakes
sizzled through the pine
needles; a blue rocket made
an eerie brilliance.
ROCKETS GO OFF
The volunteer fire depart
ment, en- masse, reached the
spot just as the rest of the
rockets and the crackers went
into action.
The firemen were followed
closely by the rest of the
Summer colony, in various
stages of hasty dressing and
all excited. The fire chief
took in the scene. He turned
on Fudge and Bulge.

Somebody else, sir"
There was a real fire. We
put that out"
Pudge's and Budge's wild
protests carried clearly to
Eva and Clarissa, above the
booming and banging of
fathers fireworks.
And of that large crowd,
they alone believed the
denials. As more people
arrived, the firemen explained:
Nothing to get scared
about. Just a couple of crazy
kids"
Fudge and Bulge skunk

of the patriotic finale piece

But thee attention of Eva
and Clarissa now wandered to
another sight. Their retreat
gave them a clear view of
Mrs. Garett's porch.

shock and watching the enter

TREMOR OF MUSCLES

TREMOR OF MUSCLES
The most annoying of the
symptoms of hardened arteries
in the brain is the trembling
and tremor of the muscles.
These are often noticed only
when a voluntary action is in7
tended. l can tell the age OF
many of my correspondents by
the handwriting. More amazing
is the tremor that persists even
when the individual is quiet.
Some new remedies have been
suggested for this condition
which give it a better outlook
than was once the case, but in
the elderly, remedies do not al
ways work so well as in the
young.
This brings up the subject OF
the action of stimulating and
depressing drugs in the elederly.
Alcoholic beverages may act
very peculiarly here. Many an
aging gaffer who has been used
to his dram before supper, finds
it makes him so confused he
has to give it UP. Remedies in
tended to produce sleep may
cause wild excitement in these
subjects.
The digestion is not always up
to par in them either, in spite OF
the persistence of appetite, and
they may not absorb all the
elements of a Balanced diet even
if they eat a well balanced diet.
So nutritional deficiencies may
cause mental confusion and
neuralgias and peculiar sensa-
tons of the skin, and require
reinforcements with the Vita
Minis.

Checks for Summer

The success Of black and white
checks in crisp taffeta weaves for
evening and dinner clothes, which
has been reported from Southern
resorts and especially used In COM
bination. Is notable. Increased pop
ularity is reported from the shep-
herd checks In black and white. or

with one added color, such as bright
red: and fine novelty checks. these

Advice TO Escorts

Were I the escort Of some silly
girl who calmly combed her hair at
the table. then left the comb beside
her plate. as Is the usual practice.
I'd walk out on her and find me
some gal who had combed her hair
before she left home. or at least had
the good manners to adjourn to the
powder room to repair any damage
done.
I've digressed from my original
subject. but at least unburdened
myself Of a pet peeve, besides which

copy cat habit girls have developed.
Let's stop doing things just because
someone else does. II you want to
be different. 1t will take more than
combing your hair in public to
make you 20. You might try brush
ing your teeth. or applying cold
cream between courses. Who knows.

copy-cats doing It.

The waters Of Hot Springs. Ark
ansas. are also laxative and have
received great praise in the cure Of
eertain skin diseases. but the mud
baths and certain drugs which are
dissolved In the water probably
provide the source Of most Of the
beneflt.

very low v necks. AS q matter Of
fact, they are q bit sensational.
especially in the shirt-waist dresses
seen about SO much in the evening.
In blouses. as in practically
everything else, variety Is the word.
There are trim mannish shirts.

to be called peekaboo. blouses.
There are also many jabots. lacy

blouse for every mood II you've the

they range all the way from mems
wear shirtings and the most mex
pensive cottons to the costliest
lingerie models and all manner OF
silks and synthetics.
One Of the most charming ideas
Of the moment Is the so-called
nude blouse. which term applies. of
course. to its delicate tint. Worn
with any one Of the many dress
maker and slightly frivolous suits
that are the vogue. the nude blouse
adds just the right touch Of fem
ininity. And speaking Of nude
tones. have you noticed how many
women are wearing gloves In these
delicate shades?
But to return to the inexhaust-
ible subject Of blouses. there's lot
Of pick-me-up In q white blouse
trimmed In red. or fo- that matter
in the new barber pole blouseS.
and at least one shop has gone
quite gaga over blouses inspired by
those worn by the Pilgrims and the

Navajo. Dinay also spoke nothing
else.
Charley Is q handsome old man.
His wrinkled copper skin Is q beau

was held In place with Q flaming
orange neckerchief: he wore white
pants. soft high moccasins and
gorgeous turquoise and silver jew

audibly 1t the sight Of It.
The two medicine men were sift-
