Jessica’s restlessness, her to sleep, brought her finally to a state of consciousness where she listened for svery sound outside and inside of the house.” It wasn't surprising then that she heard a car stop outside. 'his. fact brought her to a sitting posture, and she pushed off the rose satin'com- fortable with petulant hands. Footsteps on the porch made her seramble for her slippers and neglige. Her hands shook and she couldn't find the light at the top of the bed. 'or some strange reason she was unwar- rantably excited. She tiptoed to the door, and heard Aunt Maude run down the steps. Then she heard ascending footsteps .and Mark’s voice. He was actually here then. Had he brought Irene with him? But no, there were just two Mark use volces' extinguished at last by the| closing of Aunt Maude's door. Buny longed ‘to eavesdrop. She wanted to tiptoe out into the hall and listen.

But she was too | excited. | And then quite unexpectedly she | found herself crying. It was the ex-| citement, of course. It was absurd to | behave this way; she must stop it. Of course, Mark was telling Aunt Maude how impossible she was, but what did she care what he thought of her? What difference did it make? O, but she did care—it made a big difference what he thought. He thought of her 2s a child, but she wasn't a child! She was a woman!

Is it ususl for the members of the Methodist, Presbyterian or Congre- zational Churches when attending service in the Episcopal Church to iake cemmunion with the regular inembers of that church? What is the attitude of the Eyucopnuan cler- gy in pegard thereto? 1 understand that the Episcopal clergymen do not desire to give com- munion to those who have not been confirmed in their church. Answer—Conditions of membership in th® Anglican Church require that a communicant shall have received the rite of confirmation before par- taking of the eucharist. But fn practice the clergy of that church usually “open” the Lord's table to members of other churches desiring to worship there. If there are excep- tions to this practice I am not aware of them.

Can you advise me about it and also about the great Christians who have been converted? Answer—Conversion is the spiritual trgnsformation which takes place in penitent and believing souls who are made aware that God for Swwn s forgiven their trespasses and recelved them into His favo The experience it denotes is best ex pressed by the word regeneration, but no term can adeguately set forth the Joyful deyotion of the spirit thus emancipated. The converted person is inwardly Christ’s 1 which she might suddenly dominate the situation. People had always told her that she had inventive ability. And then an idea occurred to her. A foolish idea, but rather a lovely one. She rushed over to her chiffonfer and began to scramble among the things that crowded the different drawers. They were her trousseau things, lovely garments of silk-and lace and sheerest georgette. But she was careless of them in her eagerness to find what she wanted, and when at last she did. she snapped on all the lights in her room and proceeded to array herself. Mark emerging from Aunt Maude's room some time later, found himself very tired. He had decided to remain at the house and return to the city on the following day. Tonight he hated life, the zest for enjoyment of any kind. had died in him. Jessica had ruined everything. Foolish, spoiled chil@ that she was, she had come betweem him and Irene. But somechow he didn't care any longer. Tomorrow he would have to take up his life again and see what he could do with the raveled threads. Tonight it didn’t mattes, nothing did. He opened the door of the room that had been his, and his eyebrows lifted in amazement. Every light in the room was turned on full blaze, and in the center a tiny figure pirouetted gayly. Beneath her small black satin mask, her mouth was wide and generous, with flashing white teeth. Under her left eye she wore a crescent of black court plaster. It showed very slightly beneath the mask. Her short bouffant skirts billowed out around her, and as he stood in the doorway, she laughed at him mockingly. : He closed the door and stood with his back against it. “What does this mean?” He was remembering the night he had arrived at this house. Jessica had worp the same costume that evening. She had laughed and drifted from one man's arms into another’s. And al- ways, relentlessly pursuing her, had been a gay Harlequin in brilllant col- ers. His face, too, had been covered by a mask, but his mouth had not been generous. The lips were thin and Mark had felt at the time that even | as he smiled, the eyes, if visible, would | be cold. 'Later he had discovered that | they were set too closely together. | The fact had not surprised him. (Covyright. 1027.» (Continued in Tomorrow’s Star).

Most of us are famillar with the very important nutrition work being | carried on with laboratory animals. | This work is carefully supervised, and | the animals used are those whose di- gestive processes are sufficiently like the human to make results obtained of the utmost value. Many an advance in feeding delicate children owes fits inception of work with white rats and guinea pigs. It 18 possible, however, that not so many of us realize that there is still another way in which animal feeding may help us in our own study of hu- man nutrition. Besldes the work al- ready noted, there are other experi- ments that are yndertaken chiefly fov the purpose of ascertaining nutritional values as they exist in foods to be given to animals, with no thought of later work in human nutrition. ‘While such studies of the feeding of animals are not to be taken as final in apy. senge, so far as human diets are concerned, the intelligent house .wife will be interested to learn all she can, and will like to know some of the results and their possible relation to ber own diet problems. The nutritive value, as some one points out, of any feeding depends largely upon the digestibility of its various parts. This s as true for ani- male as for humans. When we read that orange pulp contains 78 per cent total digestible nutrients, we can see why by products such as dried orange pulp make valuable feeding stuffs for ani; Does It not give us a new light on the orange as a human food? Dried beet pulp is found to contain 71.6 per cent of total digestible nutri- en ifln pulp contains a lower percentage and we find that the dried pulp of either beets or oranges or bar- jley glves the highest proportion of | actual food values, ‘When we remember that these dried fruit and vegetable pulps are being studied as foods for dairy cattle, it is easy to see the relation to human nu- ‘The food of the dairy cow Is | important to the young calves, but equally important to bottle-fed babies. Al} of which is the same roundabout way of calling attention to the fact that if we keep our eyes open we shall learn new and interesting facts daily in regard to nutrition! Some- times what is called a reading know)l- edge of a subject {s almost as important as detailed information which we put to literal use. In this case the mother who learns about the care with which dairy cattle are fed can scarcely fall to have a more l(ltelllwent idea as to how she may best' study the problems tnvolved In feeding her own children.

BURGESS Don't know some real signs, Striped "Chipmunk?” But Striped Chipmunk was a little provoked that Peter should doubt him, so he turned his back on Peter and would have nothing more to say. Pretty soon he disappeared in the Old Stone Wall again and Peter was left alone. He sat there for a while and then decided he would run over t the Green Forest and look around. Per haps he might find a sign of some tind, though what sort of a sign to ook for he hadn’t the slightest idea. When Peter reached the Green For- st he sat down under an old maple It was a big maple tree. It was is known as a sugar maple. Peter didn’t pay any attention to it. He just sat down there to try to make 1 his mind, where to go next. You see, he hadn’t started for any place n particular, and now that he was over in the Green Forest he didn't inow which way to turn. As he sat here something hit him right spang n the end of that funny little wobbly nose of his. It was a drop—something “Huh!"” exclaimed Peter, “it nust be raining!”” Then he looked up hrough the branches of the tree and liscovered blue sky. There wasn't ven a cloud to be seen. “Huh!" said Peter again, and there was a funny, puzzled look on his face as he sat here staring up at the blue, blue sky. Spang! Another drop of something aet hit him right on that funny wob- bly little nose of his. Peter blinked. “Huh!" said he again, and just then | a drop hit him right smack in the eve. Peter shifted his position, and if ever there was a puzzled rabbit it was Peter. He continued to stare up at the blue, blue sky as he waited to see if another drop would hit him. But no more drops hit him. ‘‘Huh!" said he again. “Now, what did that mean? There must have been some snow up on one of those branches that had melted and that was what hit me. I wonder it I can see any up there.” He went back to where he had been sitting before and stared stralght up, Spang! came another drop. This time Peter happened to have his mouth open and it dropped right inside. It tasted just a wee bit sweet. Yes, sir, it tastéd a wee bit sweet. Peter was thinking how queer this was when he saw something twinkle and shine high above his head. He looked at it very hard. It was on the end of 8 twig. “It's a drop of water,” said Peter, and just then it fell right spang in his mouth again. And then Peter noticed that that twig it had fallen from had been cut. Suddenly he jumped right straight up in the air and kicked his long heels together. Yes, sir, he did so! “It's sap!” he cried. “That's what it is, sap! The sap is running in the maples and that's a sure sign that | Spring is almost here, | | Mistress Hurrah!" (Copyright. 1927.)
