He was angry clear through because Black Pursy prevented him from poking his nose into a certain hole in the stonewall.

Pat goes to work in Roy's garage, and later in the machine op where he intends to make the plston ring. He works all day and late at night, and Lily finds life very dull, living with Pat's parents and his sister, Florence, next door to their little grocery store. Finally | she quarrels with Pat's mother and insists that they leave the house. 8o they rent a ttle furnished flat, where Lily leafns to keep house in a hit-or-miss fashion, seeing neither Pat’s family nor her own. Then one day she meets her for- mer chum, Sue Cain, down town, and Sue invites her to a card party. Lily charges $300 worth of clothes at Angouleme’s smart shop to wear to the party, and when she cannot pay for them, telcphones Staley Drummond and he makes out a check to pay for them. Later Lily learns that Florence is bookkeeper Love Author at the shop and wonders if she has en Staley's checks and knows that e pald for the clothes. Pat sces the expensive garments and wonders where and how Lily got them. She tells him that she got them from Angouleme's on approval and must pay them $75 cash. Pat gives it to her, although he can't af« ford to, and with it Lily pays her debts at the neighborhood delica- tessen and starts to trade at Pat's father's store. The France family, cager to be friendly, send along & wedding present of a washing ma. chine, which is far from Lily's idea of an {deal gift. However, she learns to use it. One day she has a letter | from Btaley, meets him, and he tells {her he has decided she is not happy or she would not have come to him in her trouble about the clothes. He sends her flowers one day after he {has told her he means to have her eventually, and Roy Jetterson's wife, Sadye, coming to the flat, sces them. She picks up Staley's card too, (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) D CHAPTER XXXIX Staley Stanwood Drum. said Badye, reading from the card in high triumph. “What an | aristocratic name, Lil!"

And it always set her nerves on edge to hear Badye call her “Lil Coming from Sadye's lips, “Lil" sounded so common somehow or other.

Your Health How To Keep It— Causes of Nliness (BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN) Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy- gela, the Health Magasine In the annual report eof Bir George Newman, chief medical officer of the hoard of education of Great Britain, the statement is made that from one-fourth to one-third of all children entering achool need medical attention, Most frequently this attention ‘is required not for some specific ' de- fect, but for @ general application to the entire body. In other words, the child’s body is like a delicate engine that requires certain necessary ad- justments in view of the fact that greater stress is to be put upon it . Faults The general terms for describing such a conditioin are malnourish- ment, debility, delicate condition, nervousness, and 8o forth. The figures vary in various communities, depending upon the severity of the examinatien. It is possible that much of this condition is dependent on hegedity and that even the best of scientific attention may not be able to modify greatly the percentage of physically defective children, On the other hand, such disturb- ances as errors of vision, decaying teeth, and difficulties of hearing dno to secondary infettion may certaioly be corrected to'the advantage of the child. Classifying Types More and more the attentiop of i physicians is being turned to a clas- sification of human beings according to constitutional types. Sir George Newman recognizes two main types, one of which he describes as catar- rhal and the other as neuropathic, A catarrhal child has a tendency toward infection of the tonsils, the adenoids ,and of the lymph glands. It also is likely to suffer frequently with colds and to show aigns of eczema and similar complaints. Neuropathic children are usually pale and thin, listless and apathetic in appearance, but exeltable and liable to habit spasms, headaches and unexplainable fevers. As has been mentioned, not only the specific disturbances of the body may be concerned, but also such diificulties as are concerned with the |child’s heredity, the manner In 1which it is fed ,and the fact that it lives unhygichically . without suffi- cient sleep or nurture, Farly Years Important The earliest years of life, preced- ing sghool life, are largely respon- sible for fixing the child's character and thereby its future, As has been pointed out by the London Lancet, medical officers who have carried out continuous super- vision of children from prenatal ex- istence to school age all agree that the incidence of defects in such su- pervised children ig far less than in those who have not had continuous supervision.
