Fo man or woman who eats meat larly can make a mistake by hing the kidneys occasionally, says ell-known authority. Meat forms acid which excites the kidney: become overworked from waste and poisons from the blood, bn we get sick. Nearly all rheuma- i , headaches, liver trouble, ner- sness, dizziness, sleeplessness and inary disorders come from sluggish fneys. ['ie moment you feel a dull ache in le kidneys or your back hurts or if e urine is cloudy, offensive, full of | diment, irregular of passage or at- ded by a sensation of scalding, p cating meat and get about four hnees of Jad Salts from any phar- acy; take a tablespoonful in a glass water before breakfast and in a few s your kidnevs will act fine.

Instead of ‘these things we had found the place in the hands of a caretaker. Dicky had asked to go through the house on the etense of wishing to rent it. { "I haven’t a bit of a grouch.” T tried to speak as cheerfully as I could, for 1 dreaded Dicky's anger when I told him my feelings upon ‘the subject of going over the house under false pre- tenses. “But I don't think it is right for us to go through the rooms. The | woman wouldn’'t have let us come in | if you hadn’t said we wished to rent | it. It's deception, and T wish you wouldn’t insist upon my going any further. I can’t enjoy seeing the 100ms at all.” Dicky stared at me for a moment as if T were some specimen of humanity ine had never seen before. Then he exploded. “Another one of your scruples, eh? By Jove, I wonder where you keep them all. You're always ready to trot one out just in time to spoil any little thing I'm trying to do for your pleas- ure or mine.” “Please hush, Dicky,” I pleaded, I vas afraid the woman in the next room would hear him, he spoke in such loud tones. “I'll hush when I get good ready.” I longed to shake him, tone and words were so much those of a spoiled child. But lowered his tone nevertheless, and stood for a minute or two in sulky silence before the empty fireplace. “Well! come along.” he said at last, “I'm sure there is no pleasure to me in looking over this place. I've seen it often enough when old Forsman had it fllleda with colonial junk, and served the best meals to be found on i.ong Island. It’s like a coffin monw to me. But I thought you might like to look it over as you had never seen it. Fut for heaven’s sake let us respect yvour scruples.” I knew better than to make any answer. I wished above everything else to have this day end happily, this whole day to ourselves in the country, upon which I had counted so much. I feared thit Dicky would be angry enough to return to the city, as he had threatened to do when he found the inn closed. So it was with rauch relief that after we had gone tack into the other room I heard him | aking the care taker if there were some place in the neighborhood where we could obtain a meal. “Do you know where the Shakes- re House 1s?” she asked. “Never heard of it,” Dicky an- swered, “although I've been around here quite a bit, too.” Got a and his like he y such as I had not | creature, turned from the street down which we were thoroughfare labelled steps trying to think of some slight prrchase I could make before asking the courtesy of a telephone. Once in- sidé I forgot for a minute to ask any- thing so charmed was I by the 50- year-old atmosphere the little store breathed. Barrels of salt pork and potatoes stood in the middle of the room. Cans of corn and tomatoes rested next to hoxes of writing paper, and of soap on the shelves. There a small glass case of candies, en since T was a tiny child on a visit to the country. But the thing that attracted me most was a display of calicoes which lay spread out upon the counter. I gave one glance at the vivid pinks and greens, and knew what my purchase weuld be. A Familiar Name. 1 had seen the same thing in quilts she was a young girl. I had heard her lament that nowhere could she find such calicoes any more. An old iriend of hers, a gentle, frail, old lived near the boarding house where my mother had spent her last days with me. I know that she delighted in the old-fashioned patchwork, and that she, too, 110urned the absence of the old-time | materials. “How much is this a yvard ” I laid my, hand upon the calico, and lifted | my eyves to the man behind the coun- ter. I had hardly observed him in my survey, of the store. Now I saw that he completed the picture. Old, yet rosy of cheek and bright of eve, his white beard and old-fashioned spectacles made him just the right central figure. I flashed a glance at Dicky, had followed me in, but he did not see it. I saw he was absorbed in Pplanning some way of putting this in- terior on canvas or in an illustration. “Eight cents a vard.” The gentle old voice of the storekeeper brought me back to my errand. “I will take three yards of the pink and ‘three yards of the green,” I said, laying down the money. ‘“‘Have you a telephone?” “No, we are not so modern as that,” He smiled as he said it, and I had a sudden glimpse of a quaint old spirit that resented modern innovations and clung to the ways of his fathers. “Isn’t he a wonder?” Dicky asked us we left the store and walked on down the road. “I hope he lives until summer time. 1 want to get him in a drawing if I can.” “Don’t speak that way, Dicky, about his living until summer time. 1t sounds so callous.” “Don't speak that way, Madge,” Dicky mimicked me so perfectly I was almost sure I had repeated my own words. ; “It sounds so preachy.” I did not speak again until we had who walking into a winding “Shore Road.” vwhich my mother had pieced when | “It's about six blocks further down toward the bay,” she said, still in the same colorless tone she had used from the first. It’s on Shore Toad, Shore road. The Gormans own 3 Mr., Gorman, he’s a builder, and he built an old house over into a copy of Shakespeare’s house in England. Mrs. Gorman is English. She serves tea there on the porch in the summer and I've heard she will serve a meal to anybody that happens along any time of the ‘year, although she doesn’t keep a regular restaurant. That's the only place I know of any- where near. Of course, down on the bay there’'s the Marvin Harbor Hotel. You can get a pretty good meal there.” The Country Store. “Thank you, very much’ said Dicky, laying a dollar bill down on the table near us. I had a sudden flush of understanding. Dicky meant all the time to recompense the woman in this way for allowing us to see the house. But the principle of the thing remained the same. Why could he not have told her frankly that he wished to 100k at the house and given her the dollar in the beginning? I did not ask the question, however, | even after we had left the old man- sion and were walking down the road. 1 felt like adopting the old motto, and leaving well enough alone. “I hope we don't have to go clear to the Harbor before we eat,” grumbled Dicky as we trudged along. I echoed his wish silently but heartily. The sun was just as bright. the winter | landscape just as beautiful as it had | been an hour or two before, but “our eves were holden” in the ancient phrase. We could think of nothing but the savory meal of which we had been Tobbed by finding Putnam Manor closed. “Perhaps they had a telephone,” T suggested. “If we pass any store or place that has a "phone we could find out whether or not this woman at the Shakespeare House could serve us.” Dicky stopped, and putting up an imaginary monocle, surveyed me from head to foot. “Sometimes you have a gleam of 2lmost human intelligence,” he com- mented gravely. “Thank you very kindly,” I re- turned in the same spirit of railler: glad to have his good humor re- stored. Dicky, good-natured, is a de- lightful companion. Dicky, sulky, is about as companionable as the tra- Gitional bear with the sore head. ‘“Wa'al, by heck here’s about what we're looking fer,” drawled Dicky Then a thought which had come to me during our walk demanded utter- ance. “Dicky,” I said quietly, “Wasn't Gorman the name of the woman of Whom the station master ‘told vou, and didn’t she live on Shore Road?” Dicky stopped short as if he had been struck. “Of course it was,' he almost shouted. “What a ninny I was not to remember it. She's the sister of that stunning girl we saw in the train. Isn't this luck? I may be able to get that girl to pose for me without much trouble.” But I did not echo his sentiments. Secretly I hoped the girl would not be at her sister’s home. NOTED PLAYS COMING TO PARSONS’ THEATER 1 Mrs. Patrick Campbell’s appearance in “Pygmalion,” a most unique com- edy by G. Bernard Shaw in which she will be seen at the Parsons Theater on Friday and Saturday and Saturday matinee, is the result, as usual, of Mr. Shaw’s careful systematic methods of work. As a dramatic critic, Mr. Shaw has been admiring Mrs. Patrick Campbell’s art for many years. Shaw's | brilliantly scathing criticisms of the English plays and players are well known. “Those who think the things I say severe or even malicious should see things I do not say,” he retorted. But Mr. Shaw’s criticisms of Mrs. Patrick Campbell have been as no- ticeably kind as clever. Her grace of movement and personal charm and striking beauty have always drawn from him the highest ptaise. | of a cupful of sugar, add two Manager A. H. Woods has spared no expense in providing his star, Julian Eltinge, with a suitable vehicle this season. He enlisted the services of Charles Klein to write the play and the manuscript of “‘Cousin Lucy" was delivered to Eltinge in New York a few days before the author started back to England on the ill-fated Lusi- tania. Jerome Kern was called upon to provide the music. Kern’s tunes are known, whistled and sung wher- ever musical comedy is played. Tn the matter of production, Mr. Woods gave the scenic artist carte blanche, and the luxuriousness of the fittings and decorations has called forth the highest praise from all who have seen them. Then Mr. Woods set about to engage a cast of players to sup- with an intonation he fondly imagined to be a successful imitation of a coun- tryman’s voice. ‘“Look at this joint, will you?” “This joint” was a country store, which evidently had been the old- fachioned ‘‘parlors’” of an immense farmhouse. I went slowly up the port Eltinge with the result that the program shows the company is prac- tically one of stars. Among these might be menioned Dallas Welford, Jane Oaker, and Mrs. Suart Robson, Juliarn Eltinge and “Cousin Lucy” will appear at the Parsons Theater on Christmas Day for two performances.
