If you want to do any sewing you might get busy on these!” She had opened one of Millie's dresser drawers, and was flinging pair after pair of holey stockings at her. “Mend those, if you're so full of pep, and want some work to do!" “Children! Children!” came Mrs. Jerome's voice from the open door- way. *‘Birds in their little nests agree'!"” Every now and then she seemed to forget that her children were grown, and talked to them as if they still were the tiny things they had been years before.

Her sister nodded. “It's as new as it ever was," she answered dryly. “‘And it was pretty new once upon a Sally went back to the living room with a troubling question in - her mind. . .

Another question which agitates the modern woman particularly is the effects of bobbing on the growth of the hair. It is the conviction of many skin disease speclalists who have been giving attention to this matter since bobbing became popu- lar, that this procedure does not have any permanent effect on the hair growth. It does not make the hair coarse or cause it to grow bet- ter or worse. Mechanical damage to the hair by burning or breaking, such as may occur during artificial curling and permanent maving, will injure the individual hair concerned, but will not have a permanent had effect on the growth of the hair.: Now Is the Time This hot weather is the time when UNITED MILK safety precautions mean the most.

(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) P CHAPTER X Sally saw that the only thing was to stay there and listen to what Ted Sloan had to say to her. She had known it for a long time. For months she had seen that this moment was hound to come sooner or later. This moment when Ted would set their friendship aside and msist upon making love to her. “Making a perfect fool of himself” was the way Sally put it to her. Now that the moment was actus ly upon her, she was nervous and uncertain, “Well, what do you want?” she asked him sharply. “Tell me what's on your mind, only make it snappy.

And I thought you could keep} on working for a while after we were married—and look after the house nights and mornings, like you be so hard.” No, it wouldn't be so hard, said | sally to herself, her eyes on the dark roofs of the houses on the next | .

Getting together a nice “I mind having your hands on my | shoulders,” she told him again, and she shook them off with a sudden twist of her whole body. She leaned back against the rail- ing and looked up at him, waiting for him to begin. After a minute or two he did. “You make it mighty hard for me, Sally,” he sald - dolefully. “I was going to ask you to marry me, and ' you tell me you hate to have my hands on your shoulders.” His voice sounded hurt, and she was sorry for him all at once. . . After all, he was a nice boy, even if she didn't want to marry him. She didn't want to marry anyone. She started to say and changed her mind. body touch me,” she said steadily. “It's not because I don't like you, Teddy, because I do. Don't do that!" Tor he had put his arms around her him of his with the strong pressure | hands on Ler waist. “Dont do that!” she cried out again, and tried to push him away from her. She put her hands up against his face as it came down close to her own. It seemed like the face of a stranger—an enemy—in the starry darkness. And he was go- ing to kiss her! This stranger. “Don't—please—" said- Sally, and something of her confused agony must have been in her voice, for the man suddenly let her go. She sank back against the porch railing, with her hand up to her mouth as if he actually had kissed it. “I'm sorry,” Ted apologized after | cold enough to buy a cloth dres “I didn't know you felt the winter. | a second about me, . .

That was Sally's idea of marriage, and it had no part-time office job in it. . . . Why getting married to Ted and working at two jobs would be | almost like life as it was now. | Never enough time to do anything well. Never enough money to do anything as it should be done. | “But even that wouldn't be soi bad if I loved him,” thought Sally. | She turned and put her strong, | could play one tune on it, and that | capable little hands on his shoulders | for just an instant. | “Ted, we're such very good friends | —can't we stay friends and forget all this love stuff?” she asked him.

She movement meant, and while she was wondering he turned and went pad- dling down the steps to the porch time—" And, as he did, she started | below. i “Oh, you poor paluka!” Sally call- | ed after him cheerfully. She felt more cheerful, somehow, now that he was going. “Oh, your poor paluka, why don't you let well enough alone?” o e In the little bedroom with its two beds set close to each other, Millic was waiting for her. She was sitting beside the open window, letting the warm night breeze blow in upon her half-dry hair, and she was peacefully ripping up Sally’s black satin dress with an old safety-razor blade. “Christopher Colombo! What are you doing to my dress?” asked Sally, | her eyes wide. Millie lifted her head. “Can’t you see, Dumb Dolly?"” she asked in her | slow, slippery little voice. “Rippin’ up this dress you threw away.” | “I threw away! Why, I never did ny such thing!” declared Sally. ‘And you know it! I told you it sn't any good the way it was, and | vou said you were through broke in Millie. She plac- idly ripped a few more inches of seam with her blade, “I'm goin' to make a bathing suit out of it,”” she added. “It's no good for anything else. You can have what's left for your scrap bag—" “I can have whats' left for my scrap bag! Well, that's good, isn't it?” asked Sally. She was scarlet with indignation. She had been counting on wearing that dress for another two months—until it w; or nd rol She rushed across the room we've been dacing together, going to ! her sister’s hands, rolled it up and | shows—" laid it at the foot of her bed. when Millie moved quickly was when she thought one of her ‘“sweeties” might be calling her. “He-e-ello!" she said now, in the honey-sweet drawl that made men think what a nice, good-natured lit- tle thing she was. “0-0-0h, it's you, Mr. Davidson? 0-o0-oh, I'm just fi-fn-ine—" Sally set her lips and shook her head in honest wrath, “Look at that!"” she said to her mother in a low intense tone. “Cut up the only between seasons dress I own to make a bathing suit out of ! Ever hear of such a thing? Now I've got to sew it all together ain!" When Millie came back to the bed- room she had evidently decided not to be on speaking terms with her sistr. She pretended not to hear when Sally spoke to her. She dried her own hair, and Sally let her do it. In silence they got ready for bed. In silence they lay down and went to sleep a few feet away from each other. Sisters. PR The next night Beau came home with the new guitar that he had craved. And not only with guitar, but with a new able sports sweater that resembled Joseph’s coat of many colors. “l can play it, too,” he said. “The sweater?” asked Sally, wick- edl “No, the guitar, you simp,” an- swered Beau, who had sense of humor, He could play it too. That is, he was an old called Shore.” It was a lovely, lilting sort of tune, however, and the sound of it brought Sully from the Kitchen, one, “Miami supper. “Play it in double time and I'll I made up,” she said, her night-blue cyes dancing. “Play it in double to dance. To see Sally dance was a joy. For she loved to dance, and anyone who looked at her could see that she loved it. She frolicked like a happy child on a breezy day. She whirled lightly as a leaf in the wind. Dane- ers are born, not made, and Sally s a born dancer, ‘Atta girl!” she heard a deep | voice behind her say, and she stop- | ped dead in the middle of the living room floor. Against the shadowy background of the hall stood a man she never had seen before. A good- looking blond man in a gray suit and a necktie striped like a candy cane. The kind of man who knows everything there is to know about some things. A 'man about town is what we usually call such a man, be Millie’s Mr. Dav- v, all out of breath. S| aw that Ted had come up the s—drawn by the sound of music and dancing feet, no doubt—and was standing just be- aind him, “Come in, both of you,” she sald, and left Beau to introduce them. She rushed back to the bedroom where Millie was making herselt beautiful before the mirror. “Your Mr. Duavidson's here!” she told her. “And oh, isn't he good looking!™ It was the first time Mil- lie and she had spoken in a whole day. Millie shrugged her shoulders and looked bored. “He's not half so good looking as that John Nye man,” she remarked in a matter of fact way. And then | “And I can hardly wait until I start working for him. This Davidson fis just a once-in-a-while for me."” Sally felt as if a sudden wind had chilled her to the marrow. “Go on in there and talk to him,” Millie went on peevishly. “If you the | and remark- | very little | How to Keep It— Causes of Iliness BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN There are all sorts of views as to whether or not baldness is the re- sult of exposure of the hair to sun- light, or the opposite—that sun- light is good for the growth of the hair. There are also a variety of views on ths statement that bald- ness occurs because civilized man has kept his head covered for sev- eral hundreds of years and that the tightness of the hat band has intcr- fered with the circulation of the scalp. Some speciallsts {n diseases of the skin are convinced that extreme exposure of the hair and scalp to | sunlight is bad for the hair, others believe that it is good for the hair. Apparently one man's opiulon is as 500d as that of another. Certain persons who are promot- |ing the use of devices for the giv- ing of artificlal sun rays or so- called ultraviolet rays, state that | the use of this machine will cause a new growth of hair even on a scalp as shiny and as smooth as a billiard ball, but they have not yet offered convincing evidence in any considerable number of cases that a new growth of hair s produced under such conditions. Indeed, it seems likely that the death of the | cell which houses the root of the hair is sufficicnt to make impossible |the growth of new hirsutage. The evidence that a pood blood supply to the scalp will cause fail- |ure of hair growth is more con- vincing. For this reason, special- | ists in diseases of the skin recom- | mend persistnt massage done by the individual himself as a means in controlling premarture baldness. They suggest that the scalp be rub- bed back and forth with the fingers, until it feels a little bit tender, each day.
