'HEN Hermit Crab opened his eyes and found himself in world of strangers, at first he didn't know which way to turn. Everything: seemed so ver big and lonesome to him, he wanted to cry. Fishes and strange looking creatures bumped him on every side and Hermit Crab didn't know which way to turn.

Now it happened that a queer- looking, flowei-like creature, with great long stringy lines floating out from her, happened to pass him and one of her lines touched his body. It stung and smarted so much that Hermit Crab cried out in pain. "Please don't hurt me, I'm only a poor little Hermit Crab, all alone In the world. I haven't any home." "Gracious me! Why Con't you find a home like the rest of your relatives do'?" suggested Miss Anemone. "They find a shell house and eat the owner up, then move in themselves.

I'm so sorry I hurt you with my stingers. Tou see I have no eyes so I didn't see you." "No eyes!" exclaimed Hermit Crab. "How dreadful. And no legs either, have you? Poor thing. How in the do you get through the waters?" "Trust to luck," laughed Miss Anemone.

"Generally I float on the Waves unless some kind Hermit Crab offers me home on his shell back." "Then you wait right here until I find a shell house. Here comes Just the thing," and Hermit Crab eneaked out on a strang-e-lookins creature dragging a shell.

ILLIAN'S astonishing statement jerked me to my feet as if I were a puppet and her words a wire attached to me. 4.11 my vague doubts concerning the sincerity of the mysterious Chinese which 1 had thought effectually si- cnced, came rushing: back overwhelmingly, and it was in a voice strange to my own ears that I "His name was not Chow?" "No, distinctly not," Lillian answered. "Let me think--I haven't your photographic memory, you enow--it was 'Ah or something like that." "Can you describe him?" 1 asked tensely.

Slowly, painstakingly, she outlined the description of a man as dissimilar in appearance to Lee Cho-w as could well be imagined. 'How often did you see him, and when?" I quizzed, my pulses chillitog at the possibility that Lee Chow was an impostor, with dangerous oppor- imities for potential mischief. "Almost every day for weeks," she rejoined, "durins an investigation in which Hugh and I were associated." I played my last card. "Did he have any nickname, do ou know? What did Major Grant- and call him?" "His name, of course, "Ah she returned, a bit impatiently. 'What did you expect Hugh to call him.

I hesitated, "but I have leard Major Grantlaud refor to a Ihinese servant of his as 'Old and I wondered, If perhaps--" 'But That Proves Nothing." "No," Lillian returned decisively. 'Nothing like that at all. But that proves nothing either way. You must however, that the appearance of this Chinese here, ooks fishy. Do you object to my iaving a look at this Lee Chow? I'm going to, whether you object or not," she added, her lips quirking into a smile.

But the eyes above were anxious, and the contagion of ner uneasiness began to affect me. "Object!" I repeated. "It is the one thing I have been wanting since I first saw the man, although," I added, with a reminiscent twinge of conscience, "I am afraid I gave him the impression that I would mention his mission to no one." "You know the proverb with vhlch Mrs. Ticer would answer that, don't you?" Lillian demanded with a grin. For that worthy woman's propensity to drag in an old adage apon every occasion was a delightful ioke.

"I suppose the Sage observation concerning the bad promise," I re- with an answering smile. "Exactly," Lillian returned. "So, you have any idea where to find this enigmatic Oriental, please produce him as soon as possible." "There's just one place from which can sond a message to him," I said slowly. "Tho local Chinese laundry, 1 sup- 3ose." Lillian a-s I paused. I nodded an assent.

"I'll get the car out and run over right awav."

Who doesn't love to hear the cry of the flower vendors, with their colorful trays of lovely blooms. But fairer than Mother Earth's children are the lovely human flowers who stop in passing to exclaim over the beauteous colors and buy the fragrant blossoms to enhance their already wonderful loveliness. Especially when Love has enrolled them as his subjects-for then each knows that 1 her fairness will be all the more wonderful to the eyes of her beloved, when she shyly glances at him over a bunch of violets that are no more bluer than her own eyes. YOUR HEALTH Why a Common Cup Should Be Put In Quarantine By ROYAL S.

COPELAND, M. United States Senator from New York. Former Commissioner of Health, New Yorfc City. I is good news to learn that a campaign will be to do with the common drinking cup. It has taken society a long- time to realize the dangers of using a cup which is the common property of all the neighbors.

When I was a boy in school it was not unusual for one of the pupils to raise his hand and say, "Teach- I er, please, may I pass the water? The wooden I bucket and tin dipper were passed from desk to desk and all who wanted to would drink from the cup. 1 was on a train years ago and between stations, i COPELAND when the brakeman had nothing else to do, he "passed the just as they did in school. Everything a child haa la hands gravitates to his mouth. This is the ultimate destination of pencil, ruler, eraser and fingers. A few days aero I had a letter from a reader, asking if it la dangerous to persons who come in contact -with them for the nurse and parent to leave a house where there is contagious or infectious disease.

The prevailing idea is that it is dangerous. Even the atmosphere about the sick person is popularly thought to be contaminated. You will hardly believe me when I say that science has discarded these old-fashioned ideas of ours. The experts say, "disease is not carried by things." That is, the clothing, books, furniture, and other objects in the room do not become the lodging place of the germs of the disease. The moist secretions, especially or the nose and mouth, are the dangerous substances.

In these teem the vital, aggressive, disease-producing germs. It is plain as day why the common drinking cup should be eliminated. If somebody uses it who has influenza, measles, scarlet fever, infantile paralysis, typhoid fever, cancer or some other contagious disease, you, can see that the saliva of the diseased person may cling to your way perfectly clear to get out again." I knew better than to express aloud, my sense of the utter absurdity of this caution, but that Lillian caught my mental skepticism I was soon -made aware. "Perhaps I am getting into my dotage," she said a bit tartly, although her smile held no trace of rancor. "Nevertheless, you exercise the caution with which I have asked you- to endow urself, if for no other reason than to please me.

This stunt has more ramifications than you think, and more than your own safety may depend upon your not rushing headlong into possible dangers. I suppose I am right in thinking you wish to do everything in your power to serve Hugh Grantland in this bitter hour of his?" A Significant Remark. "Of course, you are correct in that surmise," I returned quickly, and it was not until I was at the door that the significant phrasing of her last words struck me. "If he be alive to have a bitter hour," I said tentatively, watching her face closely. "That, of course, is yet to be determined," she rejoined, but I had seen the tiny lines around her mouth suddenly etch themselves more deeply.

I knew suddenly that she wa? possessed of some information concerning Hugh a a which sho was not yet ready to give me. MimibJo Mould Your Exercise to Fit the Season and Your Wishes By LUCREZIA BORI Famous Spanish Prima WHERE EVERY STRANGER IS HOSPITABLY WELCOMED. I Dobiuja, one of the hours.

all know a person who is really active rarely stout. That is why I often doubt the woman who assures me a she gets plenty of cise. She may think she does, but if shej did really get what LUCREZIA BORI I consider plenty of exercise she surely would not be so stout. This is why I beg you to stop and think clearly before you decide that you really exercise enough. It may he that you have a nice slim figure whether you exercise or not, hut cases like this are really rare enough.

The woman who is slim despite the fact that she does not indulge in much exercise is slim by the grace of the gods, and not through any effort of her own. And here is the which really tells, she may be slim in almost every respect, but there may be some special inclination to fat which she could avoid if sho would. For instance, if you happen to find that your stomach and abdomen do not give the flat, firm silhouette tint you would like, do not delay, but start at once to correct this. I ou dozens of exercises for spec lalized cases, and if you will but apply thc-m, you can correct these deviations from true beauty before it is too late. You must realize that the woman who exercises is the woman who young.

Truly, there is all the difference in the world between a woman of forty who has indulged in lots of exercise all her life, and the of forty who has indulged in laziness and inactivity. Remember, that for surplus weight about the abdomen and hips you need only take two or three floor exercises every day for a few months and you are quite sure to be in better shape. Also remember that if you can arrange to take some outdoor exercise in season, you gain much enjoyment as benefit. well as much beauty For many centuries, before the i tion cjf irrigation, water was rare something to he i care and prayer, the ground The Dohrujans are a colorful people ai they about their work of Each season has its special outdoor sporta for those who are able to indulge in them. The "Winter season, which provides ice skating for some of us, is over now, but the Spring season brings its delightful ov tdoor occupations which help us to draw the fresh air into our lungs.

With some, a garden or simply a few plants on the front lawn furnishes an infinite source of exercise and interest. Keeping the plants in trim, cutting the grass and paint- 'ing the fence to keep it in step -with the fresh Spring season--all of these things furnish interest and timely exercise. The thing I want to teach you is that exercise need not be at'all laborious. You can exercise at some outdoor sport at which you hope to excel, you can exercise at some outdoor labor which really is necessary anel he I but which furnishes you with good air and good action just the same. Keep these things in mind, and mould your exercise to suit your personal need and the season of the year as well.

You will grow in wisdom as you grow in beauty. THE HOME KITCHEN By JBANNETTE VOUNG NORTON Authority OB Homa Cookie Some Economies in Cooking which Cut Expenses. OT boiled chicken is a very acceptable meat dish and one we seldom have, perhaps because people think it is not hearty enough, or it is more expensive, or for some other reason, though it is really an ecorymicrl dish if it iV well cooked." Select a young chicken, short, plump and deep breasted, weighing around four pounds. Singe, draw the sinews from the legs, clean, wash, truss and place it in a kettle with cold water, a halved onion, a few stalks of celery, a half bay leaf and four cloves. Add pepper and a little salt, bring slowly to boiling point, then cook gently until the meat is tender.

When done, let the chicken stand in the broth for twenty minutes or until the broth is cool. Then lift it, strain tho broth and set it to cool. Serve tho chicken with hot vegetables and precede it with a good pea soup. The next day strip all the meat from the bones and cut it into convenient pieces and put away in a covered bowl. Skim the grease from the broth.

Take a cupful of the broth and a half cupful of cream, and when hot season, add a heaping teaspoonful of cornstarch, dissolved in a little bit of milk or cream, and thicken the broth. Then add the chicken, a. minced hard-boiled egg and a cupful of mushrooms that have been peeled, sliced and sauted in butter for five minutes. Have ready four individual deep pie rame- i and line them with crust. Fill with the chicken, add the top crusts, having vents in them, and bake until the crusts are done.

Serve the soup, followed by the pies, four of them, garnished with sprays of celery. The next day strain the remainder of the soup, heat it and also heat an equal quantity of milk.

"When the milk is hot add a saltspoonful of bicarbonate of soda and turn it into the soup. Thicken with a little roux that should be all ready at hand and serve at once. Toast squares may be served with the soup. Boning rib lamb chops roay sound a bit extravagant until you hear the reason for so doing-. Instead of having the chops "Frenched," simply have the butcher, with a sharp knife, skin the chops, then cut out the bones.

Then the chop ends may be rolled and pinned with a wooden toothpick and broiled daintily. Now the bones are each cracked and brought home and put on in a quart of cold water to cook with a small can of tomatoes, a minced onion, some chopped celery, a half bay leaf and a whole pared carrot. Any steak or other bones left may be added with any bits of meat or poultry that happen to be on hand. Cover and cook gently until the bones are all clean, and then strain, cool and remove the grease. Return to the fire, dice the carrot, and add a quarter cupful of barley and cook until the barley is tender and Season, and the soup is ready to serve.

The bones of eight or ten chops make a fine, rich seasoning, and this soup, served ahead of the chops, makes an excellent dinner with no waste. A good-sized leg of lamb weighing around seven pounds is economical to buy for a small family if well managed. The first day it Is eaten hot after roasting; the second davit may be sliced cold or reheated in a. rich brown gravy; then all the fine meat should be carefully cut from the bones and chopped for croquettes. Tt is surprising how much is yielded by the careful cutter.

Then the bones are fine for soup. An eight or ten pound turkey is another good buy for a small family if the cook understands how to make the most of it.
