What Has Brought Back the Joy in Lillian's Eyes? Lillian met my glance with one in which tender comprehension of my very natural curlosity was mingled with the joy I already had noticed in her eyes. “Wait until we are safe kitchen,” sh all about {t."” But when the kitchen door had closed behind us, I prompthy fore- stalled her revelation of the thdings which Dicky had brought her, and which I, of course, deduced to be the reason for her jubilance.

MMine can't,”” and thereupan gave heg Dr. Meredith's message to me. 8% put her hand upon & chair back as she listened, and I guecssed that she felt the need of support which the grip gave her. “Lee Chow in the hospital, hurt?" she said. "Of course, he was track- ing that girl. 1 wonder it it wa really an accident or if in some way she managed fo hit him, A man would never catch him off guard, but, like most men, he underesti- mates the mentality of women, “We shall soon kmow, I suppose, I said, going to the closet and ta ing out the coffee percolator, Lil- lan lifted the stova 1ld and peered in. “It's & eplendid fir “You won't have o bother with the electric gri!l.

If the former, cease thy girlish dissembling; if the latter, leave the Dicky-bird to me. A little worry won't hurt him." There was a vicious little click of her teeth as she finished, which sent me into worried speculation as to her meaning. I had heard her speak'in that fashlon before invariably it had meant that ehe had some knowledge of my Peter Pan's philanderings which made her feel that, in her own parlance, I ought to “give the Dicky-bird a taste of his own special lettuce leat.” She gave me no chance for medi- tation over her meaning, however, but spoke briskly. “Of course you're going back with Dr. Meredith, aren't you?" “To see Les Chow?” 1 doubtfully. “Then you—" I stopped short, knowing that she must not take the journey, yet wondering | that her usually rash spirit did not ineist upon the attempt. “Couldn’t think of it, she re- turned briskly., “There's no use of my risking a setback just when 1 am most needed. And you can listen as well as I can, while your memory is better. I'll give you a message for him before you go.” “But don’t you think I would bet- ter take my own car? The other arrangement will mean that Dr. Meredith willhave to bring me back again, and that— “I don't imagine it will great hardship to him,” she sald dryly, Besides you must not risk driving after the experience you have just had. It's bad enough for you to have to go out at all.” I said uo more. Tt was useless to combat her, and I saw that for some reason of her own she wished o to make the journey to the hos- pital and back agaln in Dr. Mere- dith's company.

Constance knew that she was poor ~—=very poor. “I—1 shall go about In tatters" 1 |she sald brokenly, “I shall wear my old hat!™ The efficiency man looked at the old hat and liked it. The thought occurred to him that Constance and the hat had been created for each other. There was a beautiful har- mony that appealed to him, which wag testimony to the fact that art |was not wholly dead within him. Nevertheless he did not care to be looked upon wholly as a person who pinched pennies and bit nickels. Ef- ficlency was more than mere saving. |Nor did he think it right for Con- stance to go In tatters, although he |could easily believe that she would probably ornament them.

You are going to get a new hat." “Wait, please.” “But—"" He seized the telephone and called & number, “Is this the Luxembourg shop? Very well. This is the residence of Mr. John W. Brooke.

He was going to buy an economical hat —and he had telcphoned to Luxem- bourg! She whistled softly and wrinkled her forehead in perplexity. Oh, well, there was nothing to do but wait. But she was intensely curious. Half an hour later H. Hedge sum- |moned her to the library. There were many hat boxes there, under the chaperonage of two young wo- men whose own hats {dentified them as eminently qualified for their duties. “We are ready to examine hats 1o |ne said briskly, pushing aside his |work and nddoing at the hat cus- 1) an ha is | se, | Peter Says Good-By to Slowpoke By THORNTON W.

Every case of a communicable disease in a city threatens the wel= fare of every citizen, Did you ever stop to think that every case of tuberculosis, every caso of typhold fever, is to some degree a menace to every uninfected person? Modern civilization in its develop- ment has become more and more complex and as a result of the many requirements of social and commercial {intercourse we are brought more frequently in contact with our fellowman and his life. Today & number of cities require that no person afflicted with any communicable disease shall he Em- ployed in a bake shop, restaurant, confectionery, etc, and general in- formation regarding the spread of communleable disease {s dissems- inated among the people. We may be exposed to disease in insanitary barber shops. Many peo- ple are exposed to diseases of serv- ants, not only their diseases but to the diseases in famliliés and houses from whence the servants came. Unless proper precautions are taken we may bs exposed to the diseases of those who send their clothes to the eame washer woman, So it goes through a long lst of contacts which modern civlization has produced. Many People Handle Milk Instead of one family handling the milk as in the old days, now there may bs hundreds and if the milk from any one family is in- fected with typhoid, diphtheria, sore throat or ecarlet fever germa all the milk may become contam- inated when it is mixed in the vat of the city distributor and hun- ! of famlics may thus be ex- to infection This {3 uot a statement concerna ing an fmaginary br possible cogdi- tion, it is a circumstance of all too frequent occurrence. Epidemics of typhold fever due to infected millc have been frequent. Epldemics in which there have been hundreds of cases of the above named diseases have been caused by milk. In Washington, several years ago, more than twenty cases of typhoid fever developed among people who had attended a church supper. The cause of this infection, according to the local health authorities, was traced to unpasteurized milk used by.one family in preparation . of some of the food. Tuberculosis has often been conveyed by milk.
