You have several hours yet."” “And several dozen things to do in them,” 1 rétorted. “However, I can , It you'd rather ‘Do it Now' Every wife knows the effectiveness of this weapon, if delivered in a.tone which has no hint of rancor, Dicky got to his feet with a reluctant grin which just escaped being a grimace. “Where Do They Find 'Em?” “Oh, I'll toddle,” he said, “I'm the ‘Perfect Housewife's Delight’ today, or the ‘Housewife's Perfect Delight,’ suit yourself to the title, Ready? All right, let's go. We ascended the stairs to the apartment duplicating ours on the next floor, which T had secured for Dicky's sgister and her famous sur- geon husPand. Dicky gave it one searching, critical look and turned to me with a Gaelic shrug of his shoul- ders. “Where do they find 'em?" he said. “I thought ours was bad, put this is the holy outside limit. Har- riet will'never put up with this"” T bit\ back the irritated retort that it was distinctly a Hobson's choice with his fastidious sister. “Just wait,” I sald confidently. “Tt was what Mrs, Ticer would call the ‘spittin’ image’ of ours, but I've frilled up things a bit downstairs as I'm going to do here. And Harriet's chief requisite is a clean, handy, isolated place where she can cook the dishes Edwin requires. That she will have here, and the beds are as comfortable as those of most hotels. Those are the only things that really matter.” A Startled Recognition “1 trust Harriet shares your op- timism,” he said with an inflection that made my‘palms fairly itch for forcible contact with his ears. But when, with his aid, I had pulled the stiffly placed furniture around to more homelike angles, covered the scarred table with a colorful piece of Chinese embroidery, put a dainty, white dresser-scarf over the bureau and some gay cushions upen the ! davenport, fastened another piece of Oriental embroidery over the mantel Letter From Leslie Prescott to Leslie Prescott, Continued. T never will be able to understand, dear little Marquise, what malignant fairy made me tell Mr. Cocoran that Karl had given me the pearls. The moment the words were out I would have given anything If I could have taken them back. But, alas, words once spoken are of the few things in this world that cannof be taken back or changed or made over. They must stand and we must stand by them. 1 could hardly confess to Mr. Cocoran that I had told him a lie especially as seemingly I had no ex- cuse for doing it, and having told A desive to atone to | thoughts | [they'd like? |fered from it through infection from him the lie I, of course, had to bring| many other uniruths to bolster it up.

It is well, however, for thé layman to be informed in regard to it, as some workers, such as wool sorters, tanners and other handlers of wool and h are sometimes victims of this disease, either through slight wounds on the surface of the skin or through inhalation. ANTHRAX During recent months much interest has heen aroused by an international fight against the infection of anthrax. There is a desire to find some way of disinfecting wool and hair infected with anthrax germs. These ship- ments are a menace to the persons who handle them, sometimes causing death. | The anthrax bacillus, under favor- able conditions, will retain its vitality for yeare. Animals dying infected by bacillus anthracis, transmit in their hides, hair and wool the germs of an- thrax to human beings. ®'he anthrax bacillus has a strong affinity for the oxygen of the human blood. _TIts chief action is to so affect the red corpuscles that they are unable to sustain the Jite stream of blood in a healthy normal state, The strange thing about the whole story of anthrax is that, although it has becn known since ancient times, no particular efforts have heen made to stay its inroads until compara- tively modern times. In 1877, Louis Pasteur, the great Frenchman, dis- covered that he could use the organ- isms from the hleod of sheep or swine, dead of anthrax, and prepare from it an attenuated virus which he used as a vaccine with remarkable success on sheep. The real cause of the latest inter- est in anthrax arises from the charge that certain shaving brushes, which have not beén properly sterilized be- fore importation, were dangerous and might cause infection. Some actual cases have been reported. There i8 no great cause for alarf, T have always used a shaving hrunh‘ and up to date hdve escaped anthrax. I have never known anyone who guf- Gossip’s Corner Girdle of Leaves A hlack velvet frock is effectively trimmed with appliqued green.velvet leaves applied on the hips in a girdle effect.

Mr. Cocoran, however, seemed to think if mother approved it was all right. He said no more, but gave me a note to a friend of his who was a jewel broker and I got out of his office as soon as possible, When 1 told the man my husiness and showed him my pearls, it seemed to me he was greatly astonished.

HUMAN WRECKAGE, AT LY M Those who saw Human Wreckage at the Lyceum last night and this af- ternoon are unanimous in declaring it to be one of the most dramatically entertaining pletures they ever saw, and at the same time putting over a moral lesson that cannot be over- looked. Mrs. Wallace Reid has onc of the principal -roles and James Kirkwood has the part of a brilliant lawyer who has to fight himself back from the brink of eternity when he unwittingly * becomes a dope fiend, Bessle Love has the part of a young mother who is a drug addict. This picture had a long run in New York, where it was declared to be one of the most crashing, smashing pro- ductions of the year. On the same program today, to- morrow and Wednesday is the usual news reel, which brings the latest world events before the eyes of the spectator, and the second episode of that popular series Fighting blood.

The | characters are sympathetic and viv- idly portrayed; photography by John Mescall s everywhere satisfactory and in many instances touches the highest pictorial beauty.
