person who does not get enough
rest?
Answer: Loss of tone of the
facial muscles from fatigue.
A. R.:-What is a diet for those
whose gallbladders have been re-
moved?
Answer: No special diet should
be necessary. Sometimes when
there appears to be spasm with
collie, a high fat meal will be neces-
sary to give relief.
J. P.:-What animal has or
gans that most closely conform to
mans? | had an argument with a
person who said it was a guinea
pig and | said it was an ordinary
pig.
Answer: You are not likely to
get a very satisfactory answer to
that question. The animals with
organs most nearly resembling
man are the gorilla and CHM
panzee. The guinea pig, being a
vegetarian, has an enormous large
intestine where u appendix is.
But the ordinary pig does not
have the same muscular or nerv-
ous structure a mar

NOW I've got a genuine old south
ern nanny to keep house for me
and care for Dick, and everything
seems to be running smoothly" He
buttered a roll. Nanny almost
had a fit when l told her Dick would
stay with Miss Minerva while l was
away, and that she could have a va

Helen found her heart warming
more and more to the man. She
could even picture him of an eve
mng, sitting in a big chair beside
an open fire, his son curled up be-
side him-listening to stories, ask
ing questions.
And then she remembered that
her time was limited.
I've got to finish nv dessert

I'd known you a lot longer than it's

Helen. And I've not had a picture

They fingered for a few moments
over their coffee. Then they walked
to the elevator.

Don't think you're going &c
ditch me for good When we reach
Aggie," Philip said. i've only got
a few days-and I'm counting on
seeing you on each Of them"
I'm afraid my days are pretty
well taken up" said Helen, with
the business of earning a living"
How about your evenings"
THAT" Helen replied with a
smile, lis a different matter"
Don't you ever have a day off ,"
Philip asked.
"Yes-SaturdayS."
"Finei Save me this coming Sat
urdav. I'd like to have YOU 80 out

came to a stop. "Aagie's right over

Aggie saw them, and called:

"Aggie," Helen said, there's a
desperate father in search Of cov-

"You've brought him to the right

Helen.

pa toast, anu found herself won
uerlng just how much Aunt Miner
va mad told Philip Brownell about
her-and her hasty retreat from
~Lakevllle. Suddenly she wanted
very much to know the truth. Like
her Aunt Minerva, she wanted to
get everything cleared up, out in
the open.
DID Aunt Minerva tell you MY
story" she asked finally.
Philip looked at her, his eyes
deep with understanding.
You mean-the Paul Went
worth episode ~ he said.
That" said Helen, "is what 1
NEAR. So she did tell you?"
YES" said Philip. "She seems to
feel that everything turned out for
the best in that case also"
Helen forced a smile. Il told O
she was the worlds worst optimist,
didn't II"
Aunt Minerva also feels that we
have quite a bit in common" Philip
added.
Yes, so she told me-" said Helen.
How do you feel about it 2"
Philip wanted to know. II mean,
do you think it has all turned out
for the best?
I'm not quite sure-yet."
Not sure-after two years or
more?"
NO" said Helen. She felt a
strange urge to be perfectly honest
with the man there facing her.
Having a wife walk out on you in
order to go on with a career is n
t~hinG-having a man walk out on
you, so that he a elope with
someone else, is something else
again"
II reckon it was pretty hard to
take" said Philip.
"IGspecially hard in a town
where everyone knows you" said
Helen. She leaned forward a little
and talked softly. "Of course, look
ing back, I can see now that it was
a bit on the-the melodramatic
side. Girl down at church figuring
how much white cheesecloth she
would need to tack down the aisles
a Negro boy finding her there and
delivering a note saying that the
groom-elect was running off to
marry someone else"
Pant u-hyr ~, tho lo,;l a. kl,o
man send a note to you therein
the church," Philip asked.
Helen managed a smile. "A very
sensible question:" she said. THE
boy had been told to deliver the
note right away-and he finally
found me at the church-making
plans - dreaming dreams - wide
eyed maiden, all set to march up
an aisle trailing a train and a veil"
Philip reached across the table
and laid a hand over one of Helen's.
Helen" he said. you're sweet
darned sweet"
"Thanks," said Helen. But don't
feel that you must hand me a line
just to soothe my broken heart"
Il don't believe it's broken"
Philip retorted. And when you
take into consideration the fact
that Wentworth showed extreme
bad Judgment, it"
MAYBE he didn't" Helen inter-
rupted.
LAT least I think So" Philip re-
torted. I've seer the present MRS.
Wentworth"
"Whether or not you're handing
me a line" said Helen. you are
good for my ego" She released her
hand and patted the back of Phil
ip's. Pm beginning to think that
Diana showed pretty bad judgment
leaving you and Dick for the
stage"
Thanks" said Philip. "Whether
she showed bad judgment or not,
there Was the matter Of duty-a
husband, a son, q home"
Aunt Minerva says you've made
a very fine job Of bringing up your

BRITISH DRAMATIST
WANTS SIMPLE FORM
OF ALPHABET SET UP

LONDON, Dec. 27-P-George
Bernard Shaw appealed today to
the British government to appoint
a committee to draft new Eng
fish alphabet with which every
sound in our speech can be writ
ten with the grarhic and easily
written symbol without even
crosses or dots"
Shaw, who has campaigned be-
fore for simplification Of the alpha,
bet. said in letter to The Times,
that adoption of his proposals
would soon pay the cost of the war
in time saved.
Using the word ''bomb" as an
example, Shaw said the final 'B''
was entirely senseless" and rep
resented San absurd mispronun-
citation, as if the word gum were
to be spelt 'gung'."
II can scribble the word bomb
barely legibly 10 times in one
minute" Shaw said, land bonn
"a times, saving of Is per cent. y
The result, he argued, is stag
gering enough to justify priority
for a new alphabet, mo matter
