Love’s Embers Adele Garrison’s Al “Revelations of a Wife” Beginning a New Serial—————————/ Preparing to Entertain the Great | Philip Veritzen T had no time for investigation of Eleanor Lincoln or consideration of the problem she presented in the | days immediately following my re- | turn from my conference with Phil- ip Veritzen. When I told my moth- er-in-law that Lillian and Marion were expected to arrive upon the coming Saturday, she immediately | insugurated one of the whirlwind | sessions of housecleaning with which she precedes any prospective arrival of guests at the house. With Katle, harassed, but as interested as lierself, dutifully following in her wake, she went through the house as might the captain of a clipper, making sure that no speck of dust, | no luckless finger marks were in | evidence. Prudently, I omitted to mention that Philip Veritzen was escorting Lilllan and Marion in his own lux- | urfous car and that the primary dics tates of hospitality demanded that | we offer him dinner with the other travelers when he arrived. But I put a secret word of warning in Katie's ear when, one day while my mother-in-lJaw was busy upstairs, I sat down with my little maid to plan the welcoming first meal for | the travelers. “I want the very nicest dinner vou ever cooked, Katie” I began, hating myself for the hesitation which followed my declaration. Katie cast a quick, shrewd glance | at me. “Who cooming so special?” asked. “You nefer make fuss be- fore ven DMissis Underwood she feex bang-up din- ner, but you always say she shoost v.

Then I squared my shoulders with a sudden deter- mination to put the great producer out of my plans. We would have the dinner which was Marion's fa- vorite and which I knew her healthy young appetite was already antici- pating. If Philip Veritzen craved more sophisticated fare he would ave to go elsewhere for it. “That is exactly the dinner Katie,” T said cheerfully. all except the cucumbers in the salad. T certainly cannot be responsible for including those fin the menu with all those other dish- s with cream in them.” “Dey mot hurt Marion,” Katie said with conviction. “She and dot Mary dey could eat nails.” “Nevertheless, we will omit the aid firmy, “And 1 want you to prepare enough food so that if Mrs. Underwood should happen to bring another guest or two with her we will have enough of everything.” “I caught another quick, observ- ir® glance from Katie's keen eyes. “I suppose you vant very best china and silver und linen, too, not 507" she queried. right, 1927 I Nelwspaper rvice, Inec. The News Gets About By Thornton W. Burgess Among the things that travel fast You'll find bad news is never last. —Mother West Wind. My, my my, it is astonishing how fast news travels among the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows! In almost | no time at all everybody for a long distance around knew that one of | Buster Bear’s clubs was in trouble in the Old Pasture. To begin with, the sharp eves of Blacky the Crow | discovered that something unusual | was going on over there. Being Dlessed with a fair share of curiosity Blacky promptly flew over, and of course he saw right away that that little cub was caught by one foot. Like Mother Bear, he supposed the little cub was caught in a trap. Right away he began to yell the rews at the top of his lungs. Of course that brought all his relatives and Sammy Jay and a lot of other feathered folk. Old Man Coyote Teard the racket, and after liste for a few moments, started in that | direction. “Come along, my dear,” | said he to Mrs. Coyote, “and see | what is going on. I suspect one of | those young Bears fs in trouble.” | “If he's in trouble, I hope he'll stay in trouble,” said Mrs. Coyot: crossly. “Yes, sir, T hope just that! And T am not in the least interest- d in seeing him. T'll stay right here, thank you.” 014 Man Coyote chuckled to him- self and started off. He had gone only a little way when he ran across the fresh scent of Reddy Fox | and Mrs. Reddy. They. too, were going to see what all the fuss was | about.

WER MAN” *HONEY LOU* Sallys Shoulders/.s&/t: by READ THIS FIRST: Sally Jerome, pretty and clever, is the mainstay of her family in the absence of her father, who has not lived with her mother for years. The family consists of Mrs. Jerome, the twins, Beau and Millie, and Sally herself. Mrs. Jerome enjoys poor health, so Sally does the housework for her mornings and office work for Mr. Peevey afternoons. In the flat below the Jeromes lives Ted Sloan, who wants Sally to marry him and keep on work- ing. But the only man who inter- ests her is John Nye, whose real estate office is across the hall from Mr. Peevey's in the Nye building. Nye hires Millie secretary and becomes blindly fatuated with her. Millte likes him tut admits that she prefers a bond salesman named Davidson, and she tries to get him a job with Ny Davidson is smitten with Sally, who persuades him to keep away from the office. Beau and Millie give so little to- wards the upkeep of the house that Sally often has to borrow from her Aunt Emily Jerome, who wants her to go into the restaurant busi- ness with her when she turns her country house into a wayside inn. Beau gets some money from Ted Sloan by bad checks, and Sally bor- rows the money to pay him from Mr. Peevey. Beau uses it to elope with Mabel Wilmot, and Sally starts paying off the debts. He and Mabel use Mrs. Jerome's wedding present of some money to buy a second- hand car and rent a furnished flat. Millie moves into Beau's old room to prevent his ever coming home following an appendicitis hospital Beau and Mabel return operation, !to the flat because they can't sup- port a home of their own. Mr. J rome comes home because of M lie's illness, but'does not stay long, and leaves just as Beau and Mclel move in. Sally, who is working for John Nye part time, during Millle’ illness, predicts that there will be fireworks when Millie discovers that they are living at home again, and have put her things out of her room to have it themselves. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXVIII Millie came home from the hos- pital on the first Sunday in No- vember, It was a chilly day, full of high winds and driving rain. At 10 o'clock John Nve telephon- ed that he was going to bring her home in his closed car and wanted to know it Mrs. Jerome would like to drive with him to the hospital. “T surely would love to go, Mr. Nye!" twittered Mrs. Jerome, smil- ing and nodding into the telephone as it he could see her face from his end of the wire. “I'll go and get dressed right away!” She lumbered into her bedroom. “I'll say she's getting dressed declared Mabel, the disrespectfu! one, ten minutes later. “She’s put on a hug-me-tight and a silk muf- flor and a short coat and a long coat over her dress! She looks like a tramp out for a hike. What do you call the ones who carry their whole wardrobe on their backs — bundle stiffs? Well, she looks just like a bundle stift!"” She began to giggle, and Beau laughed with her from the daven- port where he was stretched out reading and smoking. “Mother suffers from the Mabel,” Sally said quietly, put another shovelful of cannel coal | in the grate. “I wouldn't try to be funny at mother's expense if I were you.” Mabel let out another wild giggle. “That's where the old girl's got it on all of us! She's funny without trying to be!” Sally set her lips and went on ing up the ashes around the glowing mrate. She was very tired Mabel around the house. sick to death, she told herself, of the sound of Mabel's silly little laugh. Disgusted with Mabel because of the way she made fun of M Jerome. Tired of picking up after Mabel, who seemed to think that Sally was her body-servant just be- cause she was living in the.same flat with her. Mabel had a nasty little way of ordering her about. “Come lere, Sally, and hook up my dress!” she would call; or, “Sally, it'’s § o'clock. Put my coffee on the table!™ “But 1 can stand all that, if only she and Beau pay their board,” ¢ had been telling herself all of having And now it was Sunday—and the board money, which should have heen paid into her hand the night before, had not been paid.

So Sally was worried, as she went from room to room,” dusting ma- hogany surfaces, watering the plants, setting the dining room table. “Put on an extra plate today, Sally. I'll ask Mr. Nye to have din- ner with us when he brings Millie home,” Mrs. Jerome said breathless- ly as she passed through the room when John Nye came for her. Standing at the front bay-window, hidden by the curtains, Sally watch- ed him help her mother into his big closed automobile. “I'll never care for any man but him,” she told herself as she stood there, plaiting the thin starched | muslin between her small fingers. And yet, she reasoned, women did forget their first disappointment in love. They married and were | happy. You saw it happening every da A penny for vour thoughts, 8im- ple Sis!" burst out the irrepressible Mabel from behind her, and Sally jumped. “What are you doing—still living in Dream street?” She was standing {between the curtains in the doorway and as Sally turned around from the win- dow, she began to beckon to her with a crooked finger. “I want to show you something,” she mouth- ed, making no sound with her lips, and Sally followed her out to ler bedroom. “Take a look at this!” she cried when she had locked the door and pulled a large pastboard box from under the bed. “But don't say a word about it. T haven't told Beau | T bought it, and he'll raise the roof when he finds out about it! He doesn't want me to have a thing!” She pulled a coat of soft golden- brown fur from the tissue paper | wrappings in the box. A short coat | with a great puffy collar and great | fluffy cuffs and a lining of almond- green, satin. “I paid $25 down on it vester- | day,” she whispered, “and I'm going | to pay 10 bucks a week for ten | weeks more. Then it'll be mine. | Tsn't it slick?” Sally admitted that it was. She 1looked at the coat with eyes full of longing. She twould have loved to own a coat just like it. “You're a dumb cluck not to get | some decent-looking clothes your- self,” said Mabel with vigor. “If you wore something snappy for once you'd have me and Millie looking like Queen Mary's hat. What do you do with the money you make, anyway? Stow it away in the bank? Sally smiled. “No, T don't put it | in the bank, Mabsy,"” she replicd | quietly. “And now that we're on the question of money. Who's going to pay your board? You or Beau? Because I should have had it last night. You two will have to p it on the dof, Mahsy. You both meke 200d monc Mabel laid the fur coat back into | its snowy wrappings. laughed. “Sure, we make gcod money, but we don't make cnough of it!” she | explained. “You'd better go to| Beau about the hoard bill. Tve made up my mind to keep what make for my clothes from now on. {I'm tired of looking like something | out of a museum.” Sally went straight to Beau, who had a story ef his own. “I forgot | to go to the cashier for my pay en- | terday,” he told her. “I| And for another fact, | lieved him! | “rn have to have it [ Bean,” she said. “Th | have been paid a weck scemed to Sally that she v trying to get the rent together.

Her blue eyes were wide and bright with sceming ad- { miration. Then she turned them upon Beau and Mabel. “Hew nice to sce you | here!” she said in her very sweetest, | seftest way. She was always on her best behavior when John any other man, was around. “I think maybe you'd better help me to my room," she remarked, looking back at him. “I'm pretty | | tired after the ride, and I'd better lie down and fest for a while.” / It was then that little Mabel spoke up. “You know, Beau and 1 are in_your old room, Millie, We're { her lit doesn't make much difference to T living here,” she said quickly. And GIRLY? ETC. she blushed a bit, guiltily, for she knew that Millie did not know it. “You're in your old room with Sally again, darling.” . The darling did not look much like a darling then. She went white to the lips, and her eyes seemed to grow fairly black with anger. “You've taken my room, you lit- she blazed out at her “You've moved my things back into Sally's room with- out even telling me about it! Well, you're a fine lot! All of you!" Her glaring eyes went from her mother to Sally and on to Beau. She stamped her foot and opened lips to tell them what rhe thought of them. And then, all at cnce, she stopped and glanced at John Nye, as it she had just re- membered that he was there. In the twinkling of an eye she had changed completely. All the tury went out of her face, and she sank weakly against the pillows of the couch. “It's all right, I suppose,” she sald, closing her eyes. “After all, me where I sleep. Johnny's office is the only place that really is home to me, anyway." She smiled up at him and begged him to stay dinner with them. 3ut there was no keeping John Nye that day. He said he was ex- pecting friends 1o have dinner with him at home, and ran down the stairs as if he were very glad to get away abel looked pleased as Punch as the sound of his departing car died away out in the rainy street. “Well, that's the time that he saw Millie with her horns and hoofs!" she said with great satisfaction. “I'll het she's cooked her goose forever, as far as he's concerned. No man would want to marry a fish-wife | temper like that, if you ask me!" But Millle did not seem to have “cooked her goose” with John Nye. A week later she went back to work, and for three nights running she had dinner with him down town. On the last of these nights she came into the bedroom:at night scenting the air with the leathery white gardenias that were pinned on her shoulder. & Johnny buys me everything she sighed happily. “He has more dollars than Rockefeller has oil cans, and he sure does know how to spend them! Sometimes I think I like him better than I did Davy Davidson, after all.” Then for three nights she came home carly and went to bed. adorably to have Tt was on Saturday night that Sally woke up with a feeling that somebody had called her. She listened. The flat was wrapped in silence and in darkness. Outside the neighborhood seemed to bee wrapped in darkness and si- lence, too. . . . It must be very late, she reasoned. Then, gll at once, a faint ray of light flashed across the wall of the hall outside her door. It faded and vas gone. By this time Sall was bare feet and moving wards the epen door. The light flashed out upon the darkness before her once more, and she saw that it came from the room where Beau and Mabel were sleeping. She tiptoed down the hall, mak- ing no sound, scarcely breathing. At the door she paused and cau- iously peered into the room. A small flash-light lay on the floor heside the big double bed, and by its light Beau knelt, packing a suitcase!

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the Amcrican Medical Association and of Hy- gela, the Health Magazine In a volume issued under the au- spices of the American Institute of Economics, established by Carnegle corporation, Robert Morse Wood- bury considers some of important factors with relation to accidents among workmen as well as to the matter of workers’ health. The total working time lost an- nually on account of occupational accidents is estimated at 247,000,000 working days. The annual total wage loss from such accidents, as- suming an average wage of $4 per day, is estimated roughly at $988,000,000. The time lost and wages lost because of {ll health among 30,000,000 industrial work- ers is approximately 210,000,000 working days or the equivalent of 700,000 working years. Assuming wages to average $4 per day, the wage 1oss from sickness causing absence from work is estimated at $840,000,000. At an average of $1 a day for medical, hospital and nursing expenses, the amount spent per year for this purpose is about $245,000,000. The total economic loss from sickness and premature death among wage earners is esti- raated at $1,500,000,000 annually. These figures are significant be- cause of their tremendous total, and because most of the vast amount of industrial accidents and industrial sickness is preventable.
