" Love’s Embers Adele Garrison’s Absorbing Sequel to “Revelations of a Wife” Beginning a New Ser Mary and Marion to Become Chums After Al There is no approach more sooth. ing to a mother's heart than praise given to her child. I knew that poised and self-sufficient as was Lildan Underwood, I could wicld no more trenchant weapon for Mary than the slungy but heartfelt tribute which Dicky's tempestuous young niece had given Lillian’s daughter. T saw the rather set expression of her face relax and her eyes soften as I told her of Mary's assertion that Marion ‘“couldn’t do thimg mean to save her life,” and that “it must be pretty soft to have things tngging the right way inside your soul instead of the wrong way.” “Poor child!” she exclaimed. “T did not know she had that feeling for Marion. And you think she is sincere in her realization of | the soul struggle she has before her if she wishes to conquer the traits that early mistraining fostered?” “I know she is” I return promptly, feeling much as If T were doing battle for Mary upon a slip- pery fleld. “But surely, Lillian, you ean sce that the child sorely needs helpful and kind companionship.” She nodded thoughtfully, then flashed a swift smile at me. “I think she bas that—in vyou she said, “but it isn't fair that you should bear all the burden of re- habilitating her soul. I can see your point when you said a little while | ago that she needs Marion, hut— can't you see mine when I can't help but remember Mary's experi- ence with Jack Leslie and in that cabaret, and feel reluctant to throw Marion into her company?” ° 1 stirred impatiently, for T felt that Lilllans’ perceptions had blinded by her overweening anx to keep her young daughter from all doubtful assoclations. “Before we go any further into this thing,” I said, “let me assure you of something which should be | night needless between us. If Mary Har- rison were my own daughter, and T thought assoclation with her would injure Marion, do you think ¥ What Sammy Saw By Thornton W. Burgess You'll find that he the most will see, ‘Who can himself well hidden be. —Sammy Jay Sammy Jay, sitting in the top of & maple tres in Farmer Brown's dooryard, was chuckling. In the first place, he had made a great discovs ery. He had discovered the lost member of the Chuck family. That would be news to spread all over the Green Meadows, It would be great fun to tell Johnny Chuck and Polly Chuck where their lost little Chuck was. He could imagine how their eyes would open and how they wouldn't know what to do about it. So just thinking of this made S8ammy chuckle. Then he had seen where that lit- tle Chuck had gone to and that tic- kled him. As a matter of fact, that little Chuck had gone into the house that belonged to Bowser the Hound. Yes, sir, it was in Bowser's little house that Little Miss Curi- osity had disappeared. “If she doesn’t come out of there before Bowser returns,” thought Sammy. “something is going to hap- pen. I wonder where Bowser is, T am going to atay right here until that little Chuck comes out or Bow- ser comes home. I feel sort of sorry for that little Chuck if she doesn't come out before Bowser gets here. Hello, there he is coming across the Green Meadows now and he 100l Jjust as he always looks when he been chasing some one and hasn't caught him. He won’t have t%e best temper that ever was, that's sure.” Meanwhile Little Miss Curiosity had curled up in the straw in a far corner of the little house that he- longed to Bowser the Hound. *‘This is the nicest place I've found for a long time,” said she to herself sleepily. “I'm just going to live here. It's comfortable and warm and 1 like it. I do so.” Two minutes later Little Curiosity was fast asleep. Meanwhile Bowser the Hound was slowly trotting home, his head hanging, and his tail hung low.

As a matter of fact, that little Chuck had gone into the house that belonged to Bowser the Hound By and by Bowser lified hi head. He had heard Farmer Rrown Boy approaching. Immediately he got to his feet and crept into his little house. He just didn’t want to be seen there by Farmer Drown's Boy, although there was no reason why he shouldn't be seen. But, as T said before, he seems ‘to think that it is his fault that Old Man Coyote or Reddy Fox escapes. Now Little Miss Curiosity was so sound asleep that she didn't hear Bowser when he came in, and Bowser was so occupied with his own affairs that he didn't notice that there Was anybody in the cor- ner of his house.

CHAPTER XVII Aunt Emily had no use, for young Ted Sloan. He was, she said, her idea of just nobody at all Her sharp eyes went over him now, taking him in point by point from his red hair slicked down with grease until it looked like tan leather, to his too-loud ncektie and his too-wide trousers. “All dressed up and no place 2o, arven’t you?” she snapped him.

She's so afraid that T will,” Sally was be- ginning when he cut her short. “Well, will you?" he asked, turn- ing on her sharply. “It's all up to you—If you'll say the word, I'll tear these checks up tais minute! He held them between his fingers, and she saw that he meant what he sald. She looked him straight and shook her head. No,” she said quietly, “Beau would be the last person on earth to want me to do such a thing. He'd rather take his medicine.” Ted laughed a nasty laugh. “He would, would he?

But she shook him off, glared at him with two great angry eyes, and started out of the dance hall alone. Then suddenly she turned on one of her light heels, and swung back to him for a second. She flung one sentence at him. “I'll see that Beau glves you that tonight. if T have to go out s hand | (TO B Your Health How to Keep It— Causes of [liness BESES BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy- geia, the Health Magazine. A writer in industrial and engin- ering chemistry calls attention to a posible hazard to human life involv- in the industrial method by which silks are given additional weight. Among the substitutes used for Lead costs approximately one-tenth as | much as tin, and this has apparent- Iy been a factor in the adoptior of the method of weighting silk with tin-lead phosphate instead of tin tetra-chloride. Tt seems, moreover, that silk weighted with lead salts seems to deterjorate more slowly than silk weighted with tin. From the stand- point of health, it seems possible that lead-weighted silk, used partic- ularly in underwear, by coming into contact with the various secretions lof the skin, may bring about some absorption of lead. Lead is a cumu- lative poison, and many people will remember the difficulties involved in the possibillty of lead poisoning from ethy! gasoline. However, the view is theoretical, since poisoning from this source has not been re- ported. In addition to the possibility of injury to health, lead may be ex- tracted in benzine baths used by dry-cleaners so that an occasional white suit will turn gray when wool which contains sulphur fis brought into contact with the silk which contains lead. Lead weight- ed fabrics also tend to turn darker on exposure to air in which there may be small amounts of sulphur. The editor of Industrial and En- gineering Chemistry says that he would prefer a tin shirt to a lead In any event, the purchaser, material purchased contains danger- ous chemicals, and there would seem to be reason for research as to the exact extent of the hazard. He handed her the pink slip.
