a second knock. l opened the door,

rugged dependable face, flung it
wide open.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting
I said. "but l had to give some in

In No Hurry
"I'm in no hurry" he said, with
a slow grin, "but l guess your hus-

l stepped out, closing the self
locking door after me, and walked
Winters to the elevator, which he
evidently had brought up.
Have you any idea what's up?"
l asked in muted tones when we
were safely inside.
"No, except that they've trapped
some sort of wild cat up in your

would not repeat my question, what

indiscretion in making it.

He stopped the elevator at the
top of the building, looked around
carefully as he opened the door, and
l noticed that his right hand was

revolver as he guided my footsteps

At his knock, Dicky's voice

breath of relief at the sound.
Dicky was all right, anyway. Then
his hasty footsteps came across the
floor, and he threw open the door.
His coat was off, his shirt sleeves

his left arm, l could not repress a
terrified little exclamation.
"Dickyw | said. Your arm!

He sent contemptuous glance
to heap on the floor which Adams
was holding down, evidently by
main force, and from which l could
see a pair of black eyes, blazing
with venom.
"Come on I'M" Dicky invited.

TINE was when fragility was
considered an important feminine
grace. One was supposed to be
poor, weak woman, ready to faint
at the sight of a mouse, ready to
burst into tears at the point of
finger. What bore life must have
been those days! Now millions
of women are out bringing home
the bacon, competing with men,
making good in trades, arts and
professions.
Note the change in women's
hands. Or maybe you can't, unless
you're one of the old girls. They
were supposed to be small and dim
pied, were crammed into gloves
much too tight, just as ladies' shoes
were too full Of feet. Now, fine
looking hands are the capable,
strong ones. They have character.
They are useds with grace, but
never take on the frivolous, flut-
terry note. They do not have to have
the poetic, pussy-willow softness
to make the grade, but must be
smooth and white, with well cared
for finger nails.
Graceful Gestures
In the theatrical world, graceful
hand gestures are appreciated, care
fully cultivated. The matinee-goer
should keep her eyes open, see with
what skill the stars use their hands,
pose their fingers, move their arms.
By observing, one can learn.
The anatomical perfection or i'm
perfection Of the stage beauty's
hand is on fairly even par with
the hand o.. the average woman,

Tiresome Chore
Made Easier
By ELEANOR ROSS

VENETIAN blinds add much to
a room, but, as is the case with all
home furnishings, they only look AZ
good as the care they receive. It's
true, Of course, that the blinds are
at the window and 50 receive first
cut of all the dust, CRIME and SCOT
that flies in. But, by the same token,
a dusty, grimy blind is as bad as
dirty curtains or soiled drapes.
The blinds must be busted reg
ularly, and there are all sorts Of
gadgets to make this chore as easy
yet as efficient as possible. Then, at
least once every season the Venetian
blinds should be treated to a good
washing to prevent them from be.

don't use too much water. Dip .
sponge or a soft cloth in soap-suds
solution and wiring it almost dry.
Even If it feels dry to the touch,
sufficient suds for washing purposes
will have adhered to the cloth.
Wash Both Sides

Stat by Stat. Don't forget to rinse
and resuds the cloth or sponge often
Dry the stats with 4 clean cloth and

you can wash the blinds in the bath.

full Of warm sudsy water. Lift the
blinds in and out Of the suds until
they are clean. While they are dry.l

blinds to keep the shape or tape,
from shrinking.
Should the blinds be very soiled
you may need to unstring the stats
which is a real penalty for neglect!
Be sure to-lay them In order as YOU

UNDER a generally sinister,
treacherous and intriguing sidereal
rule it might take more than GUS
tomary precaution, alertness, sa-
gacity and sound principle in order
to safely and profitably navigate
the shoals. From every angle, bust
ness and personal, there is danger
from fraud, duplicity and subtle
snares with danger Of entangle-
ments with those in authority, as
well as in social, cultural and affec-
tional relations. It might be as well
to postpone major decisions, or to
act upon the'highest tenets Of prin-
ciple and honor, during this menace.

If Tot Is Inclined to Shout
Speak to Him in Soft Voice

speaks in the family, his parents are
inclined to shout angrily at him to
speak more softly, causing him to
speak more shrilly later. Any par
ent, indeed, tends to speak rasp-
ingly and loud when annoyed at any
thing.
Subdued Voice
The first step, then, in dealing
with the child inclined to shout as
he speaks is to work on ourselves as
parents, making sure our voices are
subdued no matter how we feel; and
when the child's voice is loudest and
shrillest, ours should be the quietest
and softest. Long and frequent ex-
posture to the raucous radio may in
duce loud and high-pitched voices in
every member of the family. There
fore, silent radio or one turned low
and only for soft and lovely music
may be very desirable, especially
when there is any conversation in
the family, and more especially at
mealtime, when leisurely atmos-
phere is at a premium.
You can be almost sure that the
youngster who often shrieks as he
talks is very high-strung, very
nervous" Once you are sure the
parents have provided serene and
happy family atmosphere, look into
his further experiences. How happy
does he feel toward his playmates?
If there are other children in the
family, does he feel as worthy and
as much loved as they are? Has he
had normal play experiences with
other children Of his age? Does he
have ample creative fun indoors and
outdoors? Does he grow over-weary
and play vigorously too long at a
stretch? Has he good bedtime hab-
its? Does he get enough sleep and
periods of rest and quiet? Has he
been carefully checked by the physi-
clan? Related bulletins of mine are !:

The secret lies in the flexible
wrist. Unless the wrist has easy
motions, the movements of the hand
are likely to be awkward. Move
your hands about and note if the
wrist is stiff or muscle bound. If

A Case That
Needs Doctors
Immediate Care
By HERMAN N. BUNDEsEN, MD.

CONCLUSIONS in a child repre-
sent frightening and serious stu
alton and one which demands that
the physician be called at once. Not
only is emergency treatment neces-
sary but an immediate study to de-
termine the cause of the convulsion
is needed. Only when this is es-
tablished can steps be taken to pre-
vent occurrences.
There are three main causes of
commissions in childhood. These are
infections, epilepsy, and injury to
the brain at the time of birth. There
are also number of less frequent
causes.
Commissions Occur
In about one case out of fifteen
the commissions occur in the first
month of life. These, for the most
part, are due to brain injury, bleed
ing into the brain, or swelling of
the brain tissues due to the collec-
ton of fluid, known as edema.
In about one case out of eight,
the commissions occur during the
next five months of life. These, for
the most part, are due to infections,
to disorder resulting from a lack
Of vitamin D and calcium, known
as tetany, or from brain damage.
Acute Infection
In about half the cases, the con-
vulsions occur between the ages of
six months and three years. Most
OF these are due to an acute infec-
ton, epilepsy or brain injury.
In about one case out of four,
commissions occur between three
and ten years of age and are gen.
orally due to epilepsy or infections.
Commissions occurring after ten
years of age are, in practically all
cases, due to epilepsy.
Thus, when a convulsion occurs,
the age of the patient may help the
doctor to determine the cause of
the disturbance. A careful physical
examination, together with a his
tory Of the symptoms, also helps to
arrive at the cause Of the convul-
sive attack.
Careful Study
The character Of the commissions
should be carefully studied. If there
is twitching Of the face muscles
stiffness Of the muscles throughout
the body, and irritability, tetany is
the likely cause Of the difficulty.
X-rays Of the skull may also b.
helpful in making a diagnosis. The
child who has repeated commissions
should have . tracing of the brair
waves made. This is known as ar
electroencephslogram. Not only i.
