Mother Graham turned herself in (4 " my arms and answered , Katherine . with a docility and /meekness so sur- " prising that 1 cast a furtive glance At her to see if the fright over Junior's attack of croup had not tem- porarily affected her brain, “Thank you, Mrs. Beckett,” she gaid. “That is very good of you to #iy that, and it comforts me. And 1 will do what you wish. 1 think we will need a cup of coffee.” | She walked heavily to the bed and lay down upon it, ‘her face, however, turned watchfully toward Junior's erib. Katherine and 1 hurried jout- side, and when we were securely out of earshot in the dining room, looked in ‘amazement at each other. “8he didn't even insist upon mak- ing the coffee,” I said at last. | “She's pretty nearly all in,”” Kath- erine commented. *“And although 1 thought it wise to relieve her mind by telling her the truth, that eroup attack might have come any- way, I wouldn't emphasize her com- plete freedom from blame any far- ther. Her obstinacy might easily | attacked | which Katie had prepared in abun- | sides, the |, She was as good as her word, The tray, covered with a snowy nap- kin, which she bore upstairs a few inutes later, was calculated to temnt the appetite of g pampered cinena queen, and when she had gone, Kath- erine and I, with ravenous appetites, the coffer and sandwiches dance. “We won't hurry,” Katherine de- cided when we had finished. “Your room isn't nearly warm enough for your mother-in-law, and the rest il by herself will be good for her, Be- sides, we need a bit of relaxing. We'll have to watch Junior the rest of the night, turn about, you know."” “Why can't you sleep and ict e watch him?"” I protested. ‘“You have weeks, perhaps, ahead of you nyrsing Mra, Durkee.” “But not for several nights to come,” Katherine countered, ‘Re. you have been under douols strain. You happen to be Juntors meiher, you know.” There was something In her eyes as she spoke which haunted me even after we had gone upstairs again; something which puzzied me,* al- | though 1 felt that the meaning must have sent that child into pneumoni if he were less vigorous than he is.” “Isn't there danger now? Ought I to go back to the city?" T asked. “1 think all danger is over,” she returned reassuringly, “This isn't| . pneumonia weather, thank goodness! And with the lesson she has had s will be the best nurse for him this. Those women of the older gen- eration understand croup thoroughly | of is because they had so much it to| deal with. While Junior conval- escing from this she’ll keep him from drafts and playing on the floor, with an assiduity that neither one of us could hepe to equal. 1f he's all right tomorro u'll be perfectly safe in going bac! But-—as soon as you can arrange matters yvou ought to have Junior with you.” “Surely That's Coffee.” “I know it," 1 answered, and then, with a sudden decision, "and I'm going to manage it! -Just how, I don’'t know, for I don’t want him in | the city, but somehow- ‘“Above all things, donv take him tp the city,” she warned, and then ‘we both sniffed as might war horses smelling .battie. 1 | “My prophetic nose !" Katherine | exclaimed. “Surely that's coffee.” “Katie understands this family answered as we made our way to the kitchen, and found my little maid | busily preparing a large tray. “We were just coming down to ask you to make coffee, Katie,” I said. She gave an airy little shrug and | chuckled. | “Ven dees fam-i-lee no vant coffee _any hour day or night, den I know day all in dere graves mit two tons of tombstones on top,” she replied, and Katherine and I, with our first relaxation from the grip of anxiety of Junior, laughed heartily. “We'll take ours down here, Katie,” I maid, “but I wish you'd prepare a | dainty tray for Mother Graham and ! take it up to her. Re very careful you don’t wake Junior.” Katie Helps Out “I guess I know better dan vake | dot ba-bee,” she retorted bridling. “Didn’'t 1 stand right dere mit you efery meenit I not doing somethings, | and ven he go asleep, 1 bet you no know ven.1 coom down here, I go so soft.”" She was right. her, and 1 hastened ruffied plumage. “I know you're most Katie,” I said, apologetically, I'm so nervous about Jjunior. “I know dot,” Katie granted largely. “Und I be shoost so still as Jeetle mouse.

This excludes tailored blouses of course. All other summer blouses have'just a drooping neckline or the fall af a ruffie, or the width of a collar be- tween them with round or square col- lars of Irish lace or are finished wit fagotting. ¢ New, too, is the jabot blouse, to be worn with jackets and sweaters. The jobot may be pleated or shirred and may be placed anywhere that is most convenient to the wearer. It is an attractive mede which will probab- Iy be carried over into the fall and winter styles, « So1F Ry Dr. C. C. Robinson Fellow, American College of Surgeons Scarlet Tever Parents, in the good old times, were disappointed if whooping cough, measles, mumps and scarlet fever were not “over with” quite early in life, us they expressed it. Now we are all trying every known prevention of the dread diseases. We are growing to feel that having to en- dure these child destroyers is nonsense and keeping rid of them is our chief congcern, Scarlet fever perhaps the worst of these dread visitors, not only in it- self, but also in the terrible and dis- abling after effects in the eyes, ears, heart and kidneys of its little victims. The catching period or time of in- cubation is from one to six or seven days. It comes on quickly and no warning is given until the first symp- toms appear. Catching FPeriod It is now agreed that this early stage, and not the period of peeling, is the real -dangerous time of ‘catch- ing.” Tarly isolation of the patient is the only safe means of preventing further, spreading. The beginning fever is usua'y high, running well above 100 degrees the first day—in extreme cases as high as 105 degrees. The face is flushed, hot and painful. Vomiting is the other beginning symptom. The mouth and throat are dry and sore, accompanied by swollen tonsils. - The mucous mem brane and the tongue are red, rough and swollen. The rash, or real symptom, then appears, first showing on the lower neck and chest. It does not last long- er than four or five days. The redness and itching gradually disappear in from eight to 12 days in most cases. Precautions The result is a rough, dry and al- most lifeless skin which, soon after the fever is gone, begins to peel or flake off. This desquamation or peel- ing process may last:two or three weeks, Bo careful to isolate the patient for a month at least. Do not attempt to treat any «case of scarlet fever with home remedies—a physician and care- tul nursing must he maintained at all times, The so-called scarletina or secarlet fever is dangerous. 1t should he iso- lated and most caréfully treated to avold a severe case. —— During the fiscal year recently end- ed the government collected approxi- | mately $152,000,000 taxes on éigarets. BY BSISTER MARY VEGETABLE HASH To make a little meat go . a long way, try mixing it with vegetables in a sort of aristocratic hash, Many men object to “made"” dishes and insist that “'plain meat and pota- toes is good enough.” But while vegetables are in season and plentiful, they are cheap and absolutely neces- sary to health, and if half a pound of meat can be "fixed up” to serve four persons and at the same time furnish a more wholesome diet, why not be firm but kind with the men folk and serve the cheaper and ideal summer food?
