I think it's a beautiful spot. And didn't the car run well, Guardian? I'm certainly proud of our choice. “Yours, you mean. You steered me | onto it, you know." Jessica was moving toward the car now, and he followed. Wiith an ex- pert movement, she swung open the door and was aboutto jump in, when Mark said, evenly: “We're not going«back.” She stared at him. Then she laugh- @d uncertainly. “What are you talking about, Guar- @lan? Have you suddenly taken leave ©f your senses?"” “Never was more sane in my life. 1 stated a simple fact. We're not go- ing back, at least not tonight. It's too bad to have to play a trick on you, Jessica, but I'm afraid that's just what has happened. For the present fyou're going to staysright here.” She colored hetly,.and for a mo- ment he thought she was going to I‘il:"!ht into tears. Then anger flared up er, s “But that's too absurd! You can't get away with such a thing. What do you expect to gain by it? I'm not a weak-minded fool, you know. I'll find some way out. Besides, when I don’t return, they’ll come after me.- I told Ray I was coming up here with ryou today. Do you think he’ll stand Yor anything lke this? If you. do, ygu're crazy.” “Mark shrugged. The worst was over mow that Jessica knew the truth and fhe was felling less uncomfortable. “I'm afraid Ray won't find it very easy to reach you. I have an idea that you were fairly casual {n your description, and inasmuch as this cabin hasn’t been used for years, no one wil remember it. Besides, we're The Crac L BySHIRLEY RODMAN YOU." 20 miles away from the nearest person.” “But earnest. by it?” “I -expect you:to come to your senses, I expect you to use your brain for something else besides the silly, vapid conversations carried on by the morons in your set. I gave vou your chance. 1 asked you to wait ‘a ‘year and,_you called me a flowery orator. Raymond Townley is a Totten cad and a fortune hunter. A year from now you wouldn't look at him.” She broke then and the tears came, “How dare you speak that way of him?" she sobbed. “You're unspeak- able! - I hate you! I love Ray and I understand him. I'll marry. him no matter how long you keep us apart. You'll see!” She turned and walked up toward the house. Mark followed at & short distance. He had no intention of allowing her to run off into the wilderness that surrounded them. He was not going to tramp throu the brush all night in search of her. She had almost reached the house when she turned slightly and saw him following her. At first she had had a wild impulse to bolt for it, but she hated to make herself ridiculous. After all, where could she run? And besides, Mark knew this countery bet- ter than she did. Ultimately he ‘would bring her back in ignominiou: defeat. ‘At the porch steps ne caught up with her. “Why not make the best of this, Jessica? I'll try my best to give you a good time, and I don’t see any reason why we can't be friends. I'm suppose you. really are in What do you expect to gain for being friends, I despise you.

SUB ROSA BY MIML The business of getting a good husband is a hard job. A girl has to watch out for so many things—has to check up so carefully on his good qualities and bad ones—that it's no cinch to select just the ideal mate. And there are so many times when the hesitating maiden nust make an | important decision—when she must decide for herself whether some quality in her man is a praiseworthy or_a blameworthy one. It happens often that she finds, to Jher dismay, there is a grave fault in the man she loves which she has been regarding as a virtue. Or perhaps she discovers too late that some flaw in him which has an- noyed and bothered her is really evi- dence of his character and worth. One of the tricky points m.ny girls | have to take up with themselves is | the question of whether their own pa | ticular hero is engaged in the praise- worthy business of “saving” or whether he's just getting the detest- able haibit of tightening up. Bernice was pleased and full of ap- proving ion when Fred an- nounced: that he was tired of carry- ing dishonorable debts; that he meant to make a new start in life, save his pennies, give up ldle squanderin, and try to bulld up a nice bank account. She helped him enthusiastically— was willing ¢o give up expensive the- ater tickets and high-priced night clubs for the sake of the fuutre. Even when he cut down on flowers and candy she understocd and with a trusting smile walted for the day when he should zelieve himself of the old debts and start out with a fresh sheet of paper. But that day when it came wasn't the happy event she expected it to be. Fred stlll looked worried and drawn, although free of debts and ‘with & good income, he hadn't much fipancially to worry about. ut he worried. And after a while e bothered Bernice. She found that Fred was getting into the habit of arguing with everybody about prices. He couldn’t buy a dinner without quarreling with the waiter about the check. His tips were insignificant. His presents to the lady of his heart took on the nature of remembrances. He explained all these strange economies by saying that now he'd learned to save, he hated to go back to the old gay, foolish spending, ‘which had placed him in debt. Bernice foolishly accepted his words as bits of infinite wisdom and stuck up for him valiantly in the face of all criticism. continued to help him “save™” and he continued to “tighten-up”— that is, to -grow stingier and more . His poor sweetheart de- herself with the vain hope that his new habit was a good one. A wiser girl would have known that it wes a danger signal for the future and would have put a stop to it one way or another. On the other hand, had Fred really been in earnest about saving, with no thought save of Bernice's future, she would have no right to accuse him of tightening up, however drastic his economies. ‘The wise malden watches carefully and learnes to distinguish between these two forms of economy. ‘When she finds that her man is past the necessity of being economi- cal and still scrimps and saves just for sheer love of money-getting, she must call a halt in the proceedings.

K. writes: “I address you as ‘Mrs.’ because 1 am sure you must have children of your own to give such competent advice. My baby s nearly 9 months old and was a pre- mature baby, having been in an in- cubator for five weeks after birth. He now welghs 17 pounds and has no teeth. Is this bad? He seems very strong and full of pep. His dfet consists of whole milk, 30 ounces, 10 ounces of cream of wheat (this added to the milk), two and one-half table- spoons corn sirup. He gets 8 ounces of this in five feedings. He has orange juice and vegetables every day and egg yolk about every third day. He likes peas better than any other vegetable. Is there any danger of giving him too much ef these? I tried glving cod liver ofl, ‘but it did not give the promised results. What do you think about this?"” Answer—You are quite right in as- suming that I have children, three of them, 50 my theorfes get active prac- tice dally. The baby is doing splen- didly. There is nothing to change. But I do not understand how you could decide that cod liver oil did not give the desired resuits. It has no outward manifestation of fts effi- clency. A baby should become used to all kinds of vegetables, so offer dif- ferent varieties and don’t notice his disposition to spit them out. -Simply keep offering them and if he spits them out too oftem, hold his nase and make him swallow them. If you do this in a matter-offact way, with- out anger or meanness, the baby will come to know that you mean busi- ness. Mrs. J. R. G—When the baby has a cold keep him quiet and in bed, ip a well aired room. Personally I dou't belleve that wrapping s baby in flannel and swabbing stuff on his chest and covering it with flannel will do much except make it more sensitive to the cold. Rubbing the chest until red, using some-oil to lubricate the fingers, will: help the circulation, and then keep the baby dressed as usual, Drop warm ofl in the nostrils and swab them as clean as you can with a bit of cotton. This will make the baby comfortable. If there are medicines to be given consult your doctor and not yeur neighbor. ‘I am strongly against amateur dosing with medicines. ‘Won't you write, sending & self- addressed and stamped envelope, for tho leaflets on feeding and constipa- tion?

EAT AND BE HEALTHY Dinah Day’s Daily Talks on Diet The Right Food Is Food Groups. In order to know what elements 00ds yleld, it is simplest tq put them into groups or classes. Group I Includes milk, eggs, cheese of various kinds, meat (except the fattest), fish and also two of the legumes, namely soy beans and pea- nuts. These are complete proteins. The protein in the foods of this group can be used with speclal advantages by the body. These are the foods which especially make and repair body tissues. Group II—Cereals and cereal prep- arations form one of the carbo- hydrate or energy cl of foods. That is, they furnish fuel to keep the body ‘working. ‘Though cereal products contain a very large amount of starch, which puts them in the carbohydrate group or energy contributors, they also con- tain large amounts of protein, and un- less the outer coatings of the grains and the germ have been removed by milling, they also furnish vitamins and considerable amounts of mineral substances—particularly phosphorus as wel as 1ime and iron. Group ITI includes sugar and sugary foods, namely sugar, sirup, molasses, honey, preserves, jellies, jams, marma- lades and candy. These foods are the second part of the carbohydrate or energy class. They are fuel foods. BY WILLIAM That Spastie Colon. Next to the neurotic correspondent who has had an X-ray picture of his insides taken and discovered that his stomach has “dropped” — which dis- covery is enough to make any of us feel sick, if we cherish the quaint old anatomical chart notion about the proper position of the stomach—there is none I can do less for, even in the way .of sympathy, than the one who has been presented with a spastic colon, mucous colitis or some sfmflar obsession. People who have a well established conviction that their colon is spastic are generally in a serlous condition (of mind) and it is extremely difficult to do anything with them, even when a doctor personally attends them. When it comes to offering them any suggestions or advice by malil or through the newspaper routs, one is almost certain to be about 20 years be- hindband with one’s advice. Qrdinary econstipation is just a habit. ~ Spastic constipation is rather a vice to which the victim ‘is addicted. Most persons with the constipation habit are just plain dumb — they be- lieve all the pill monger’s propaganda. But persons'addicted to the spastic va- riety are usually very wise — they know a’lot of things which ain’t so. In thus voicing my views of the subject I do not mean to be mean, nor Just to give vent to sarcasm—if this is sarcasm—but I sincerely hope to make an addict or.two crack a smile at his own plight. Smiling, or better chuekling, is one of the most ef- fective remedles for the relief and pre- vention of spasm of the colon. It works . through reflex action, some- thing like. a mustard foot bath for earache or toothache. This is one good antidote for anhe- donia: Laugh and forget your colon. Anhedonia _goes with spastic colon. Here {s. Dr. Webster's description of anhedonia: - Insensitiveness to pleas- ure, or incapacity for happiness. Curious suggestion in the word hy- pochondria. It comes “from Greek words meaning under the cartiiage of the breastbone+and right there is where your-colon really ought to be. The anclents must have had a few cases of spastic colon in their midst. Perhape that was what afled Socrates ‘when he.passed up a chance to duck the hemlock. And herd is oné notion which per- sists through all my study of mucous 20litls, spastic comstipation, spasm of the colon or mucous colic—the more one studies this condition the leas one thinks he knmows about it—namely, that the too popular pills, teas, tab- lets and herbal or ‘‘purely vegetable" physics are a common cause, and in many cases probably the sole cause, of this trouble.

Brown sugar, molasses, maple sugar and sirup have some protein and some mineral salts in ad- ditfon to their energy value. Group I'V—Fats and fat foods—but- ter and other table fats, cream, lard, suet and other cooking fats; oil, bacon, salt, pork, pork sausage; chocolate, fat nuts such as walnuts; and, in general, al foods in which at Jeast five-sixths of the total is fat, and the other one- sixth made of protein, starch and sugar. Some of these also contain mineral'salts and vitamins, and some do not. Group ° V—Vegetables and fruits. ‘These are very rich in the mineral malts and vitamins and they also fur- nish cellulose or fiber. Fruits pre- served with a large amount of sugar, or jams, jellies, marmalades and pre- serves, would not come under this head, as they are more important as sources of fuel because of the sugar they contain than for their mineral matter and bulk. Hence they would be grouped under the sugar foods. Vegetables and fruits differ con siderably in the proportion of water and cellulose they contain and, of course, for that reason, their protein or carbohydrate value differs. They are the great sources of the necessary fiber, mineral salts and vitamins. re desiring answers to thei ona ‘should Send self-addresend. stamped envelope to Dinah Day, eare of The Star. BRADY, M.

New York newspaper woman and magazine writer, suggested that we | collaborate upon a book called | “Jazz,” 1 refused at first. I have “had a hate” on ‘“success stories” ever since I was a kid. They are so pompous and conoceited. They never appear to take mccount of luck and tate, Furthermore, I'm enly 36, and who am I to set myself up as advifer to_the young? However, we wrote the book, and | now I'm at it I mean. Oniy time I don't mind 8o much, because maybe, after all, I can save some youngster, as cocky now as I was once, a few hard knocks. So here are a few things I've learned about life: First. Never fall % pay attention to your crities. No matter how ab- surd their words sound, listen. Then examine yourself through the big end of the opera-glass. . You'll see somebody who looks smaller than you ever thought you could look, But it will do you good There is hardly ever smoke with- out fire, and if the world, or any part of it, finds you unkind, con- ceited, priggish or dishonest, be sure there is a flaw in your precious self somewhere, and the sooner you mend it, the better for you! Your faults will never hurt any one else as much as they do you. I remember the first time a kind friend told me some home truths about myself. “Everybody says you're getting the ain— advice-giving, |\ :{l night, when I couldn't sleep, I got to mulling it over and found I was beginning to think pretty well of myself. Then 1 was up against a res puzzie. Just why did I think I was smarter than my fellows” T've never answered that question to this day because there fsnt any answer! The result is that I don't have many re- ocurrences of that particular trouble. On the other hand, never pay much attention to the praise you get. Remember it usually comes from the overpartial or those who have something to gain by flatter) Discount {t Another thing T've learned is that you can never afford be un friendly. You ought to have a gen uinely friendly attitude toward the world; if you haven't, you will de well to simulate one. The anclent truism that you never know when you are going to need a friend holds And neither do you know whp will prove 10 be that friend. It may be a day laborer and it may be a bank president. All the same, you can’t get by o pretense, If you try to feel friend) you'll succeed, and then you will make real friends. It's great sport once you get into ft. For the rest, choose the work you really like, whether it's ditch-digging or leading an orchestra. You wili thus come nearer to catching that phantom we are all chasing—happ! ness! (Copyright. 1097.)
