I should simply smother with it over my head. But if Mrs. Durkee can put up with the couch I should be very glad to have her come in with me. Then you can take her place In the other drawing room." Mother Graham Decides. For a moment I saw red.

I knew that I was by far the most fatigued of any member of the party, and knew also that as the mother of a small child my comfort should be safeguarded. But here in order to gratify the whim of one woman, the selfishness of another, I was to be shut away from my baby and shunted from one place to another like the piece of machinery I had become, I told myself bitterly. But the thought of gentle Leila Fairfax made me pull myself together and present a smiling, unconcerned face to the women who were watching me. They were waiting, I knew, to see what I meant to do. I knew that Leila must infinitely dread the arrival of Rita Erown, and I admired the sterling conscientiousness which had insisted upon the invitation being sent the city girl, 'it was as little as I could do to help her, Secrets of Health and Happiness Are You Sore From Your Ribs Down? Look to Your Feet By DR.

LEONARD KEENE HIRSHBERG A. M. M. D. (Johns Hopkins University) HAT fun for those who love fishing to feel a tug at the line and with a deft Jerk of the rod to behold the quarry landed.

It's fun, even for the maid with the stoniest heart, there comes a time when she feels a pang of pity for her wriggling victim and then it's all over for hearts some maids think. But with her. For pity is a-kin to love, you know. course I saw clearly what little I 1 Mrs. Durkee's request, or rather demand, meant.

The only way In which Dicky could change the reservations so that Rita Brown would not be compelled to occupy an outside berth while the other women of the wedding party were ensconced in drawing rooms something unthinkable from the hospitable standard of the Fairfax sisters-was for him to give either Miss Brown or Mrs. Durkee quarters in the drawing room which had been provided for Mother Graham, the baby and me. The men of the party, Alfred Durkee, MaJ. Grantland, my father and Dicky had berths in the two adjoining cars which held the drawing rooms, and therefore could not aid in solving the unexpected problem presented by little Mrs. Durkee's prejudice.

That the problem was distinctly "up to me" Instead of Dicky was another thing that I did not need a magnifying glass to discover. There were no more drawing rooms to be had, and the in vitation to either my little neighbor or the girl Phe disliked so heartily must come from my mother-in-law or from me. That Mother Graham did not mean to give It I could see by her pureed lips and disapproving eyes. But little Mrs. Durkee expected it, and I braced hyself for the conflict which I feared was Inevitable.

Mrs. Durkee Protests. "Dicky can't do anything," I began my explanation apologetically, "for you see those were the last staterooms to be had-" "Fiddlesticks!" My mother-in-law's Interruption was short and pithy. "There's always a last minute drawing room to be had if one knows how to go about it." "You don't mean," my little neighbor's voice rose excitedly, "that Rita Brown would have a stateroom all to herself! Think of the cost, just the same for-One as for two. And she'd take it as an honor especially planned for her." "I think we can arrange it without that trouble," I said, inwardly quaking, looks.

There was something wrong with him. especially as I guessed little Mrs. Durkee had not made things especially pleasant for Leila since the elder woman had been told of Rita Brown's invitation. "That seems to me to be a delightful solution of the whole matter," I said "I shall feel quite irresponsible, quite like a girl again, to be sharing a stateroom with three other young women, one a prospective bride." "You probably won't feel quite so skittish when I send for you to take care of Richard Second," my mother-in-law observed grimly.

"I have engaged to take care of him at night, but I do not propose to play nursemaid all day, I shall expect you to relieve me as soon as ha wakes in the morning."

HERE is a charming cape for little daughter. It is made of a fine but light weight quality of navy blue serge. The puffed collar is cut from a piece of taffeta silk of the same shade as the serge. The tie strings by which it Is fastened are of heavy gros-grain ribbon, also navy blue. However, 3hould the child wish, she need not fasten her cloak tightly about her neck.

Firmly attached at the back of the collar are two straps of navy blue serge. These she may cross over in front and fasten in the rear, so that on warm days her cape may swing free.

Matters were very serious till one day a dear friend who had once ft robin tilted on a swaying bough and trilled merrily.

"Pretty little fellow!" mused Betty out loud- "There he swings singing when he knows it's going to storm in a few minutes. He must like rainy weather." "Not exactly!" laughed a merry voice, end Happy Giggles, the elfin from Make-believe Land, tumbled out of the branches down at Betty's feet, "Just because you don't like rainy weather is tio reason to have a gloomy face," he laughed. "Oh, Happy Giggles!" laughed Betty, "Is my face gloomy?" "Not now," replied the little elfin, "but If you could have seen it few seconds ago it was a sight! Really and truly It was darker than those clouds yonder." "Oh, dear! Was It as bad as that?" laughed Betty. "But, honest, Happy Giggles, I should think instead of making the birds happy, a coming storm would make them sad. Why, I should think they'd get all wet.

Maybe they really and truly like wet weather. Is that what Robin Redbreast's singing about?" Happy Giggles waved his magic feather on his little pointed cap and Robin Redbreast glided down through the green leaves to his side. "Hello there, Robin!" laughed the little elfin, shaking Robin Redbreast's claw. "Meet my friend, Betty." "Well, Betty," chirped Robin Redbreast, "I'm certainly glad to know you. I've been watching you all morning wondering how long It would take ie to banish the frown from your face." Eetty shook Robin Redbreast's claw and exclaimed.

"I'm Certainly Glad to Know You." "Oh, so you saw the frown, too, did she laughed. "I just hate cloudy weather; and I guess I'm always cross on gloomy days. I was Just wondering if you reaBy and truly enjoy wet weather as much as you seem to." "Of course, rainy weather makes things grow." laughed Robin Redbreast. "That's one thing in its favor. But Happy Giggles will tell you that of all the birds of birddom, Robins have the most dreadful time during a storm.

I'll confess that we robins can sing better than build. We're not much on house building, and almost every storm brings down some of our homes. "If we wanted to we could just sit around and mope and whine, but what good would it do us? The rain would go on Just the same. How much better to laugh and sing away your cares. Any one can fret and cry.

The really worth while person is the one who can laugh end sing when things don't go to suit him." With a merry twitter Robin Redbreast shook out his wings, smoothed the feathers on hla red vest and sailed away. "Robin Redbreast is right," laughed the elfin. "Frowns never help you. They only show others how unhappy you really are." (And before Betty could blink her eyes Happy Giggles disappeared and the rain began to patter on the sidewalk.

His mother is delighted but she is sad, too, for she doesn't understand why her nervous, high-strung, emotional son can get along better with ordinary, everyday people than he could with his nervous, high-strung, emotional mother, who watched him and nagged him, and loved him too much, and was afraid of him and worried herself and him into something like a very dangerous state of mind and body.

bv N'pwnna ECONOMIES I HAVE just received a letter from, one of my readers in which she Bays that her complexion is losing its clearness, and little blotches frequently appear on her face. Now as I have so often emphasized, your complexion is Just the mirror of your health. One reason LUCREZIA BORI why so many women lose their beauty early is because they're careless about their food. While 1 know that many things can be done to retain a good complexion, the first things I recommend are simple fare and plenty of exercise. At this time of the year one should eat generously of fresh, vegetables, and eliminate heavy foods.

Indeed, many women are forsaking meat entirely because a famous, English beauty has announced that her lovely complexion was attained by a purely vegetable diet. Whether that is the real reason or not you can do much to improve your complexion by avoiding rich pastries, fried foods, hot breads and a too liberal indulgence in candy. Another splendid aid to the complexion is plenty of exercise. Even women who are quite systematic about such things get rather weary in the spring. But this is no time to let down on exercise.

A very good plan, especially for those who may have been rather closely conjlned to the house or office during the winter months, is to walk. One. can readily get to the suburbs or even to the woods. So, if you are Bomewhat discouraged about the appearance of your complex try to go for a long walk at least once a week. Then when you come home look in your mirror.

Your cheeks will have a sparkle of color, your eyes will be shining, and despite a little weariness you will feel wonderfully refreshed. And you must not forget that walking in wide spaces is apt to change your viewpoint and to freshen up your ideas.
