Three hearts beat with un- worted eagerness that night, and for three entirely different Teasons. To Anne the evening marked the last chapter of her impersonal relationship with Richard. Soon now, perhaps this very evening, she would conirive an emotional climax between them. To Richard the evening meant his meeting the dancer who had so stirred his imagination. Nor was he entirely Iblind to the significance of his play- ing host at Anne's party. But he pushed this problem back in his mind. He was not at all sure he cared for Anne, and even less sure she cared for him. To Yvonne the evening meant a chance of seeing Richard, her husband; of testing the power of her disguise, of watching her rival at work, of assur- ing herself that Richard did or did not care deeply for Anne. Anne was wearing a new dinner frock of red chiffon. Erilliants in her ears, a band of them about her hair and bracelets on cither wrist completed her costume. Silver slippers twinkled on her feet. She looked every inch the sirable womanhood. Yvonne had decided to go in eve- ning dre She would t and if the spirit moved dance for the company. She a dress of shell pink taffeta, made with a tight bodice and full skirt scalloped around the edge. She wore no jewels Around her neck was a thin platinum chain, the end of which was hidden in her bodice. On it hung her wedding ring. To offset the simplicity of her frock she wore an elaborate evening cape of black velvet, lined with shell- pink crepe and collared with ermine. At the last moment she put a chaplet of tiny rosebuds around her head. She was enchantingly youthful. Pausing | before her mirror, she made up her mouth artfully. The result was startling. Bewitch- ing youth was caught in her dress, her small silver shoes, the rosebuds on her hair. Worldly wisdom and hard-won knowledge were painted on her mouth. vonne nodded at herself. “I am stun- ning,” she told herself without egotism. “I am stunning and I am different Anne welcomed her guests tor din- ner with the easy grace of an experi- enced hostess. This was a side of her Richard had not seen. Her dignity sat well on her. Quite suddenly she had grown up, and for a brief mo- ment he saw her, mistress of his house, gracious and lovely. At dinner there was much talk of the dancer whose coming laie in the evening kept the party at a high pitch of expectancy. Anne did not tell them of her surprise in finding Mademoisclle to be a young girl. That she would leave for them to discover. All she would say when pressed to tell what Mademoiselle was really like off the stage was, “Wait—you’'ll be surprised!” It was a little after 11 when Yvonne arrived. Couples were dancing in the great living room on the first floor. In the sun room bridge tables were in session. In the small music room, which opened from the living room, a talented girl was playing, and Richard ing and waiting for Anne to be free to dance with him.

That—that was surely—no, he was mad. But for all that it was Yvonne's voice. He could swear it. He listened more intently. The new voice was speaking English, perfect English, with | only a hint of accent. It was saying | the correct things. There was the sound of heels tapping up the stair. Richard sat limply in his chair. He wondered what his wife was doing— working at the Spring planting prob- ably, going to ecarly mass, waiting on the old grandparents. He felt a sudden repugnance for what he was doing. Yvonne sweel and lovely and good. Perhaps he ought, as a man of honor, to chuck all this and go to her. For there had been in Anne’s demeanor that cvening a sweetly proprietory air that had both thrilled and alarmed him. To the observer he knew she would suggest some hidden understanding, as of a secret shared by Richard and herself, which they would soon declare to the world. The dancer was coming down the stairs. He heard her remark on the beauty of the long living room, listened while she acknowledged the introduc- tion. He got to his feet. Through the doorway Yvonne him.

She saw sudden fear in Richard’s eyes. Fear replaced by ad- miration and interest. “He is thinking of his wife whom he belleves in France,” thought Yvonne. ‘The thought gave her courage. She smiled at him.

But the moment passed and she was one of a chattering crowd. Richard was being desperately as- sailed by his conscience. The dancer looked like his wife. Each glance at her brought back Yvonne's pure face. But as he grew more accustomed to these resemblances he found they both- ered him less. How lightly she an- swered his chaff of the conversation when it was tossed her way. How she smiled at the men who were present. How easy and sure her manner was. She was worldly with all the assur- ance of a French woman of the world, fair sport for the men who were flat- tering her. Still, she had given him a nasty turn, making him think of his wife that way. He would show her that there was one man who was not fascinated by her. He went to Anne’s side and more openly than ever before signaled her out for his attention. He did not know how Yvonne watched him. Nor could he have any idea of the stab she felt when she saw Anne turn a seductive face up to his, lay her hand intimately in his arm, show in a dozen ways that she regarded Richard as her own. Outwardly Yvonne was smiling, talk- ing, flirting when the chance offered. Inwardly she was making her last great decision. Was she to leave the fleld | free to Anne? Or was she to fight for her own? She was belng asked to dance. Thinking_only of Richard, she con- sented. It was when she stood before the long mirror, gazing at herself, ready to descend and dance that she took her resolution. She would not give her husband to another woman's arms without a struggle. Richard be- longed to her, Yvonne! She went lightly down the long stair- way, conscious of eyes turned up to living room, a puzzled expression on his ace. Yvonne could not know that Anne had overplayed her hand while the guests were waiting for Mademoiselle to change. She had taken Richard to the porch on some pretext. There she had quite frankly drawn close to him, saying, “Isn’t it wonderful, Dick—to be able to like the same things and people as we do?” Automatically he clasped her hand. In a moment she was in his arms, her head on his shoulder, whispering, “Dick, you do love me—tell me s0.” “But Anne—" he protested. He | was horribly embarrassed. This, to follow so scon the pricking of his conscience about Yvonne, made him de- cidedly uncomfortable. “But Anne— there is Yvonne, you know.” Anne withdrew, drying her eyes. She | knew her mistake at once. She raged within. This puritan! For &« moment she hated him. Then she said sweetly, “Forgive me, Richard. Let us go in.” Richard was relieved. There was not | to be a scene then. He felt grateful | to Anne, but at the same time a little resentful that things were moving so fast. He resolved to see far less of Anne for a few weeks. It was at the moment of the making of this resolution that Yvonne tripped | down the stairway. With her draperies | flung about her she seemed to float | rather than step. A space was cleared in the living room. The musiclan who | had been playing when Yvonno arrived struck a few chords. ‘Yvonne began to dance. She was | dancing for Richard. She put her| whole soul, all her lenging into that | dance, abandoning herself to the grip of her love for him. There was a little silence when she had finished—a frac- | tion of a sccond before the applause that told Yvonne how deeply her art had snared these blase men and women. | watch her graceful progress.

Her heart expanded. “Play again,” she commanded, “merrily.” No fairy flinging herself from rose to rose ever stepped more daintily than Yvonne as she danced this encore. All the faces were smiling broadly as she finished. Kissing her hands to them she vanished up the stairs. When she came down she was wrapped in her velvet cape. Richard was standing with the others clustered about the foot of the stairs. ‘There was a clamor of praise and thanks for her performance. She was standing near Richard at last. She gave him her hand and smiled up into his _eyes. “Will you not come to see me?” she asked. Richard bowed, “I should love to.

This form of “‘flu’" is rather mild in most cases where prompt medical attention is given. But if neglected, it can, and has in many cases, developed into more scrious trouble. Everyone remembers the last visita- tion of this dread discase in 1918. For your safety let us tell you bricfly what was done to stop it. For a year there had been rumors of an cpidemic of influenza in Asia and Europe. But it was not until September 1918 that the first case in this country broke out. The case was on the United States Receiving Ship stationed at East Boston, Mass. In an incredibly short time many recruits were down with the “flu”, and the ship's sick bay was full to over- flowing. Realizing the scriousness of the situation, and the inadequate quar- ters on board the ship, the Massa- chusetts State Guard Medical Authori- ties volunteered their services in order that the paticnts might be removed to hospitals. This work was undertaken under the direction of the late Surgeon-Gen- eral, Dr. Wm. A. Brooks. A tent hos- pital was established on Corey Hill, outside of Boston, a corps of doctors and nurses assembled, and a detach- ment of the State Guard ordered out on duty to police the camp and' gener- ally aid in the treatment of the sick. The sailors from the ship in East . 79 Boston were rapidly transferred to this hospital camp, g Meanwhile, however, influenza had spread to the citizens. Deaths occurred to an alarming degree. Every prepara- tion known to medical science was used to fight the “flu”, but still the ““flu’" gained. The public became panic- stricken. By Saturday of the first week the haspital ar Corey Hill was full and the epidemic was spreading at a rapid and fatal rate. AND THEN— At this point let us go back some years so that you may understand more fully what happened later. About 1860 an important scientific discovery had been made, known as Salicylic Acid. This preparation was found to possess remarkable medicinal virtues. Used internally it stopped pain promptly. In addition, it acted as a germicide in the blood. It was the first germicide discovered that could be safely fused in this way in largs amounts. However, salicylic acid in its crude form was highly irritating to the stomach and therefore could be given in very small doses. So chemists and physicians undertook to find some way of controlling its good qualitics and eliminating its harmful ones. Soon many salicylic acid prepara- tions were introduced to the medical world. Each one showed some advance- ment over its Frcdccessor, but none were capable of being given in large enough quantities to accomplish really big results. In 1900 some German chemists thought they had successfully solved the problem. They produced an acetic- acid-ester of salicylic acid or, more specifically, a "mono—ac::iq-acid'es!er of salicylicacid”". Thisthey introduced under the trade name of aspirin. While aspirin marked a slight im- provement over the preceding salicyl- ates, the maximal dose that could be givenin24hours to the normal paticnt without causing gastric distress was 4o grains. That is less than onc third of what is actually required to suffi- ciently change the blood stream. In the winter of 1917 and 1918 cer- tain Boston chemists after long experi- menting, devised & salicylate which, “Flu” nurses at work in open air during the epidemic. if required, could be given in almost unlimited quantities without producing disturbing after-cffects. They calle this new preparation Salicon. But as were very busy, during that busy wartime period, with other important work, they took no steps towards marketing Salicon. That was the situation when the “flu’" epidemic hit Boston. At the close of the first week of the epidemic the doctors were almost at their wits’ end. It scemed impossible to make progress. The cases were mul- tiplying. The death rate was terrify- ing. It was at this moment that in some way the United States surgeons card of the preparation which those Boston chemists had been experiment- ing with—something that was germi- cidal,yet harmless, and*‘might work". It was late on Saturday afternoon that they got in touch with the presi- dent of the company that devised Salicon. He was at his home. They ordered a large supply to be delivered immediately. An hour or two later this order was duplicated by the Mas- sachusetts State Medical Officers. The new preparation was supplied as soon as possible. To the umazement of all concerned, its administration began to control the fearful epidemic. At last the long sought secret had been found! For Salicon, instead of being limited, like the old-time preparations, to doscs of 8 tablets, cuulfh: given inamounts of 24 tablets and even more in 24 hours. And these large doses brought about a prompe lessening of the fever, with- out disturbing either stomach or heart, and started patients towards re- covery. Besides “flu”” cascs, many cases of pncumonia yiclded to trcatment witE Salicon. This was truly remark- able, for the forms of pneumonia which developed during that ““flu’* epidemic were unusually difficult to overcome. The methods and medication adopted by the State Guard Medical Officers In a Boston hospital all the nurses except one took the new formula as a preveniive. None but she contracted “flu”. at the various state camps were soi effective that commissions from the states of Illinois and Ohio were sent to Boston for consultation. To illustrate how successful these methods really were, here is a single instance. On a certain island in Bostoa Harbor 66 out of 93 inhabitants were ill with the influenza at one time. B, direction of the Surgeon-General, Sali= con was given to all of them. Every one recovered. This happened at a time whea one out of every 200 persons in Boston was dying! These are examples which show the wonderful efficiency of Salicon under extreme conditions. It is a most re- markable remedy for overcoming s cold. Two tablets taken at the begin- ning of a cold will quickly check it. Salicon acts just as pmm}xly in stopping headaches and other forms of pain, and is much to be preferred to most of the older forms of medicine which, when taken in doses large enough to be really efficient, almost] always upsct the stomach or affecs the heart.
