The Quarrel. Deliberately she took another sip her creme de menthe. NN-m was proud. She hated being Ruestioned as though she had done something wrong. He had tried to make his question sound casual, but Just the same there had been an edge to his voice. It gave her a smother- Ing sensation as if she couldn't escape from him. Mar and* money’ ringed her all about. She would break away from him even now if it weren't for Muriel. Martin’s fury mounted still higher. He felt that she was defying him. He had an impulse to go over and take the glass from her hand to make | her meet his eyes, to force the truth from her as he so often had from persons on the witness stand. But he controlled himself and a moment later he was glad he had. Nan met his eyes frankly. She had hothing to hide. “I went to a tea at the Grays'. “Those people we met the other might “Yes.' “Did you go alone As Martin spoke Nan 1 like a witness being probed for testimony. | ntful.

But the emotional outburst between them earlier in the evening had unnerved Martin. Not only that, but he w: remembering his feeling the other pight at the St. Clairs’. These people of the artistic world liked Nan, but they resented him. He had felt it the other night and now he ‘was sure of it, because he hadn't been Included in the invitation to the Greys'. " * Not that he cared. Why should he care? But he didn't intend to have Nan accept invitations where he was not included. Furthermore, he did not intend to have any more men call for her and bring her home from anything she attended unless it was himself. How casually she said, “I used to pose for him in the old days.” Mar- tin had never resented Nan's old call- ing as He had this minute. It seemed cheap and tawdry. 2 He finished his brandy and poured bimself another. Then he spoke. His _val;e was very smooth. “T see.” Nan answered him impulsively. *No, you don’t, Martin. You d ee at all. You're angry with me. . “I'm angry at the idea of having #trange men call for you and bring you home—you, I'm angry at your ‘wish to attend affairs where I am not included.” His voice was like steel. In that moment she almost hated him. Nan stared -at him, She could bardly believe that he was serious. But there was no doubt that he was. She had never seen his face wear such an expression. After a moment she spoke. “You really mean that I am not to have any friends unless they are your friends, too?” “I do; but, most of all, I mean that, I won't tolerate this loose business of playing around here and there with *other men.

During their interview that evening he had almost told her so and he had efused to take her case unless she | did exactly as he told her. | But Nan's reference to a client of his, even though that client had done uch an unconventional thing as come | here to the apartment, angered him | still more. It wasn't as if she didn’t know that | he loved her. She had marrfed him knowing that. And he had done everything for her and for the child. She could have no reason for doubt- ing him. But knowing that she did not care for him, and having her go here and there without him, particularly with attractive men, was a different thing. If he had been sure of her love—yes. In that case he could fling defiance at the world. But she didn't love him and was bored with his friends. He couldn't | {lose her, not it he had to hold her by force. “I refuse to discus: you,” he said curtly. “You know my feelings where you are concerned, therefore you have no cause to ques- tion me. But I forbid you to go out alone again with any man. _You are no longer living in the Bohemian world and in mine such things aren't done.” Nan was inwardly furious.

M. writes: “When my boy is 18 months I am expecting an- other haby and I would like to put the older one on a three-meal-a-day schedule, so tha it will be easier for my mother when 1 go to the hospital. How shall T go about this?” Answer: Your boy is now getting only milk at & o'clock and is getting his cereal at 10. Combine these two meals, giving cereal and milk at the 8 o'clock breakfast. Give orange juice some time during the morning. Then at noon give coddled egg. or small piece of meat; sieved vegeta- bles, or vegetable soup: custard and glass of milk, or fruit sauce and glass of milk. This gets in all+his necessities in three meals, with the fourth meal only a glass of milk, Mrs. D. W. Your baby has made an adequate gain in weight, considering that it was a premature baby and much under ‘average weight. This September it would be wise to begin weaning, and if she will take milk from a cup, start feed- ing her milk that way and don't insist on the bottle. The main disad- vantage of cup feeding for young babies is that they seldom will take all the milk they should have when they have to drink from a cup. For a baby under 1 vear of age a bottle is a comfort and a convenience. I suppose a baby who wakens easily at every sound is possibly more nervous than the sound sleep- er, though this ability carries through to adulthood and all light sleepers are not nervous. Keep the baby cool. A light-weight band, dlaper and thin slip are enough when the weather is so hot. Add mors clothes when the temperature M. H.: You are using an sive amount of sirup with the boy's feeding formula. Perhaps maltose, 4% tablespoonfuls a day, would be more laxative. Use the number which is prescribed for con- stipation. Don't think of starting castor oil or any other medicine. These only encourage constipation. The habit of giving laxatives to chil- dren on general principles is re- sponsible for a lot of unnecessary constipation. —— 4 More money is being spent this season in England on golf than on all other games combined, including the popular cricket and foot ball. “One Sniff—~DEAD” Bucs BreatHe Brack FLag—and die!
