uicksands of Love Adele Garrison’ s New Phase of Revelations of a Wife—— Badge Relieves Hugh's Mind But Gives Him a Setback At my decisive assertion that I had no intention whatever of leaving my husband, there flashed across Hugh Gratland's face an expression of distinct relief which at first thought appeared to give the lic di- rect to the impassioned declaration of his love for me to which, without my own volition, I just had listened. The next instant 1 understood it. He did not fear Dicky as he did Philip Veritzen, and besides there was in his Quixotic soul a respect for my husband’s claim on me which tempered his jealousy. If he could have been assured of my continued happin ith my husband, he would have gone through the rest of his life without uttering one word of his love for me. But his imagined discovery that another man, one of the most fascinating personalities in the great city, was trying to win me had smashed through his defehses, and loosened his tempestous jealous protests. My assurance of my con- tinued loyalty to my husband, the sincerity of which I knew he did not question, had vanished this fear at the same time that it had stripped him of any excuse for the diatribe to which he had just subjected me. It was Dick's place, not his, to object to my friendship with Philip Ver- itzen or to take me to task for my magined undue interest in the fam- ous and fascinating figure of the dramatic world who was my emplo er. The consclousness of all sounded In his voice and showed in his face as he answered my ass tion that he surely did not expect me to dignify with a denial his ac- cusation that T was romantically interested in Philip Veritzen.

MORRIS FISHBEIN | Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine For many years the term “rheu- matism” has been misused both by physicians and the public to describe all sorts of inflammations and dis- turbances of the Jjoints, whether caused by infections, nervous dis- | turbances, or polsonings. It has been used as a common term for backache or lumbago, for deficiencies of tendons, muscles or bones, and has been a sort of catch- | all into which every type of pain | could be thrown.

Prof Elwell is an artist. He has a five-year-old son Jim. Prof and Mollie take the stranger in and, late that night, twin girls are born to the woman, who dles a few out leaving a trace of her identity. She had men- tioned the name Jack and babbled of leaving a husband who un- true. Her attire had indicated her to be a person of wealth and cul- ture. The story then moves June of 1916.

Who is the dusky bird in red tights kowtowing to the old geezer with the whiskers? You tell us, Betty, you know your Shakespeare.” ! Betty studied the picture with a great pretense of puzzled awe, purs- ing her pretty lips and signifsing by claborate grimaces that she was con- centrating very deeply. “I never could guess, Jim,” she made answer finally with an un- ruffled sweetness—she who hud read the story of Desdemona many times and who knew perfectly well what the picture represented. Jim eyed her with keen approval. “You're gettin’ on great,” h ed with comradely familarity, ‘As a y little liar I've got to hand it to vou. Youre learning fast.
