s Y N e Love's Awakening ... llunflhq mw By Adele Garrison “l don't belleve I'd do that just now,"” I said slowly, when Katherine said that she meant to frighten Marion about her mother's nerves and health. ‘The little nurse looked at me at- tentively. “Why not?” “Because Marion’s too transpar- ent—apd—tempestupus—and Lillian too shrewd. The child couldn’t hide | her grief and remorse and terror— oh! she's experienced all three—and Lilllan would guess we'd been talk- ing to her.” “And she resents criticism of Marion more than anything else,” Katherine assented. “All right, Miss- is Owl, I see, and I'll shut up. But I don’t think you ought to, aito- gether, Couldn’t you just drop a hint to Marion, something that wouldn't alarm her too much, and yet would set her thinking “I think I can manage that much,” I agreed, “and I'll tackle Harry tomorrow,” I added reluctant- ly. Katherine laughed suddenly, I looked at her astonished. “Poor old Lady Atlas with the weight of the world on her shoul- ders!” she sald. “You have the worst jobs thrust on you. Let's see! You have to warn Marion delicately that her mother isn't well and to go slow, You have to tackle Harry a trifle less delicately and tell him to go slower. You have to get your fa- ther on the job about the Brixton visit, and you have to find out what Mary's up to. When you get through you ought to send in your applica- tion for a Cabinet position.” Her affectionate raillery kept echoing in my ears as I went to my | own room and prepared for bed. I| felt like & conspirator, a meddlesome Matty and a spy, and called myselt those names vigarously before 1 went to sleep. Fortunately I was too tired physically to let anything keep me awake very long, and when I awoke the next morning, although I | had the sensation of something un- and pleasant hanging over me, I was able to see that the tasks before me were justified and necessary. ‘We were all at breakfast except Lillian. “8he has one of her headaches,” Harry reported, “says she doesn't want a thing, But I'll take her up some tea and toast if Katie can | make it “‘Oh! surely,” I said mechanically, and glanced furtively at Marion. The girl's head had lifted and she was gazing resentfully at him. “Mother never teuches anything when she has & headache,” she maid defiantly. “I know, she always had that fool idea,” Mr. Underwood declared with the incomprehension of {llness seo often exhibited by men poasessing magnificent physical health. “But some tea and toast will do her good T'll see that she eats jt.”" Marion’s eyes were blazing new. but before she could speak Kath- erine’s cool quiet tones issued an ultimatum. “I beg that you will take her nothing.” she said in her very best professional manner. “I was with her last night until T got her to sleep and I know that food or drink of any kind now will only aggravate the nervous Indigestion from which she is suffering. Later in the day— yes, but now—nothing but absolute quiet. T would prefer that no one but myself go to her room for sev. eral hours.” When Katherine wishes she can throw a stockade of words and man. | ner around a patient of hers which |it would take a hardy adventurer to scale. Harry Underwood capitulated promptly and good-naturedly. “My hands are high above my head, Missis Katherine,” he said, laughing. “Take all my money, but please don't bump me off.

There were all sorts of won- derful places for the nest of a Wood Mouse and there was plenty of ma- terial to build it of. | In the little sugar house was a bunk and on that bunk was zn old mattress. Whitefoot thought it would be wonderful to make a hole in that and make their nest inside, but Mra, Whitefoot sald no. She couldn’t give & real good reason for | not making a nest there, but she ‘was opposed te it. “All right, my dear,” said White- foot, “just s you say. There's a nice dark corner underneath. How will that do?" “It won't do at ull,” replied Mrs. ‘Whitefoot, and went on running about. ‘Then, up on a shelf Whitefoot dis- covered a box with a little opening in it. “I've got it!” he cried. “This is just the place for it.” Mra, Whitefoot scrambled up and looked it over. Perhups if she had discovered it first it would have suited her. But she hadn't discov- ered it—Whitefoot had discovered | it—s0 Mrs. Whitefoot promptly paid | it wouldn’t do. But she failed to give any good reason why it wouldn't do. It just wouldn’t, that was all. Whitefoot was beginning to lose interest. He had been very enthusi- | astic but all his suggestions had been 80 prompty turned down that he decided that he would leave the wirole matter to Mrs. Whitefoot. Of course he should have known enough to do that in the first place. He sat on the edge of a shelf, | combed .his fur, made his toilet and | watched Mrs, Whitefoot running about this way and that way, quite as if she didn’t know what she was about. Finally she disappeared. | Whitefoot hadn’t been watching and | he didn’t know where she went to. ! It was a little later that he heard hee squeaky little voice. “Come here, Whitefoot:" called Mrs. Whitefoot. | ‘Whitefoot couldn’t tell where her voice came from. He climhed down from the shelf and ran around look- | ing for her. | “Come here squeaked Mrs, | Whitefoot again, and there was a| most impatent sound in her voice. “Where are you. my dear? Whera are you?" cried Whitefoot, and his voice was just as squeaky as hers. | Suddenly Mre. Whitefoot ponped cut right in front of him. “Here T am.” said she rather crossly, “Now you follow me."” Whitefoot immediately followed her. Where do von think she led 1im?

The first attempt to transfer blood from one to another goes back cen- turies. In the modern method the blood veln of one person and injected in- to the vein of the arm of the per- son who necds the blood. 1t is impossible to inject with ad- vantage the blood of an animal into man, because there are differences which make results scrious. The rerum of fluid matter taken from the blood of animals may be in- jected under proper conditions with comparative safety. Blood Types It has heen found that human be- ings differ in the organization of blood, so that the fluid matter of the blood of one person may act on the red blood cells of another per- {er Such clumping is obviously seri- son, causing them to clump togeth- ous, since it will block up the blood vessels and produce death. Therefore, tests have been worked out whereby samples of blood may be tried one against the other on a slide under a micro- scope before blood transfusions is done. People can be classifed into var- ious groups according 10 the way in which the blood reacts against the blood of another, and it is now known that transfusion can be con- ducted safely only in certain groups. In addition to the direct trans- for of blood from the vein of one person into ‘the vein of another, it is possible to withdraw the blood in a syringe and inject in that man- ner: also to inject the hlood under the skin or into the muscles.

Menus of the Family BY SISTER MARY Breakfast — Cantaloupe, cereal cooked with figs, coddled eggs, toast, milk, coffee, Luncheon—Corn fritters, cauli- flower salad, stufted peaches, milk, tea. Dinner — Jellied bouillon, lima bean puff, tomatoes stuffed with rice and cheese, cress und apple salad, chilled watermelon, milk, coffee, Thin slices of crisp raw caull- flower are deliclous served in com- bination with sliced tomatoes, minc- cd green pepper and crisp lettuce, A Yrench dressing, mayonnalse or a well seasoned cooked salad dressing can be used. Stuffed Peaches Four fine peaches, 4 rounds of cake, 1-2 cup orange marmalade or any kind of jam, about 2-3 cup chopped pecan or English walnut meats, 1-2 cup whipping cream, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, 1-4 tea- spoon vanilla, Choose perfectly ripe peaches, chill, peel and cut in halves to re- move stones. Combine marmalade or jam and nuts and fill cavities of peaches with mixture. Press firm. ly together and put each peach on a round of cake.

London Fur Sales Set World Prices Late Summer Is Height of Season for Buyers, London, Bcpt. 8 (M—Late summer | which means tennis rackets, iced | lemonade and one-.piece bathing suits to a large portion of the world, is the height of the fur season in London, center of the world's fur markets, ispecially during August and September are the work rooms of the city's wholesale fur district busy making up all varieties and qualities of pelts into winter coats and neck- pieces, Buyers crowd the showrooms to choose their winter stocks. London leads the world in the fur trade and buyers from every country gather here for the big auc- tion sales held twice annually in>the Queen strect auction rooms, They bid even for pelts which have been sent to London from their own countrics, such as America, Canada, and Australia, fixing prices of furs for the scason, The total value of furs sold in London in a year often exceeds $50,000,000, Judging by recent bidding, the most popular furs wonmen will wear this year are mink, marmot, mar- ten, red fox, cross fox, silver fox and Persian lamb. French buyers especially were eager for Persian lamb, which is expected to be the craze in Paris, rivaled only by silver fox. English buyers sought sable ermine, skunk, opossum and hare. Furriers say the vogue for dyeing furs to match coats and dresses will be continued this winter, especially in white fox and ermine, which take the more delicate pastel shades, Rabbit dyes equally well, however, 80 that womeg of moderate means may follow the fashion as well as their more wealthy sisters.

Washinfton deblitantes will uyset staid social precedent in the capital this year, They have discarded the in for colers. traditional white frocks and will go They also will schedule their coming out parties in advance of the formal opening of the social season and will hold affairs on Christmas eve and Christmas day. Miss Peggy Twer (left) and Teresa Carmalt are among the most beautiful 1928 Washhigton debs, By SUE McNAMARA (Associated Press Feature Writer) ‘Washington, (#—All the colors of the rainbow will appear in the gowns of the Washington debutante this season, instead of the heretofore conservative and traditional white, Uncle 8am's own particular debbies will knock another pet precedent in- to a cocked hat by having their com- ing out parties on Christmas Day and Christmas eve. Alice Davis, daughter of the secre- tary of war, started the colon craze last Year when she made her debut in a gown of flaming red. Prior to that white had been regarded as correct for debs as it was for brides. But when Miss Alice was glimpsed, looking so striking with her dark hair and red dress, other girls who were anticipating coming out this season began to make their plans, And color figured largel Long before the formal social sea- son actually gets under way, charm- ing young girls of the diplomatic and soclety sets will have made their bows at tea dances and evening balls. They will be arrayed in pink, blue, green, orchid, yellow and many other tints. Their names, a perusal of the list of debutantes announced so far shows, are as colorful as their frocks will be. For what could be more natural for Celeste, Rael, Phyllis, Adair, Mignon, or Teresa than floating chiffon, ruffies, flounc- es and frills? More fanciful names seema to have supplanted the plainer Bettys, Annes and Marions of a few sea- sons ago just as long hair and more feminine dress is taking the place of bobs and tailored attire. However, there will be quite a few boyish bohs shining above the long, uneven transparent skirts of the coming out gowns this season. Upsetting the old Washington Christmas tradition that the day is sacred to family gatherings is not the only thing the debs are doing this year. Not only are they scheduling tea dances and balls for Christmas eve and Christmas day, but they are hurling themselves into the social sea in advance of the formal open- ing of the season around Dec. 1. Quite a number of coming out parties have been announced for the middle and-the latter part of No- vember. The Willard Hotel will start things going with a lapge ball for debutantes on the evening of Nov. 12. Prominent among the list of debu- tantes is Marian Jardine, the blonde young daughter of the secretary of agriculture. Peggy Tyner, daughter of Mrs. Alonzo Tyner of Washing- ton, who is to make her official bow to society Nov, 15 at the Mayflower Hotel, is rated one of the most beau- tiful birls in the capital. Miss Teresa Carmalt, another striking beauty, is the daughter.of Joseph C. Carmalt, ‘Washington lawyer. Fall Clothes Have More Ornate Sleeves Paris,/Sept. 6 M—Haute conture, which means the two dosen biggest dressmakers of Paris, is talking about “sleeve interest” in fall clothes. They mean that aleeves, after long subjection to the rest of the garment, have suddenly blossomed into things of importance, some- times carrying almost the entire weight of decoration or novelty. There are pouch sleeves, bell sleeves, sleeves of the moyen age, cuffless sleeves, slit sleeves and gaunlet sleeves in the new collec- tions, The pouch variety is most used for afternoon coats, evening wraps and house Jjackets, Paris’ new name for negligees. Bell sleeves, sometimes elbow deep with fur, ar a favorite coat form for winter, especially for the elaborate lame evening wraps which are shown by many houses. The most conspicuous form of n eve- ning wraps of velvet, whdre they are accentuated by heavy strass embroidery, nearty elbow high.

Buy Ouly Best Of Llly Bulbs These Should Be Planted In the Fall, American gardeyers are just awakening to the fact that lilles are good garden subpcts, Cultyral methods are becomiig better known and the lily is taking {its rightful place in the hardy bader. They are not ditficult to grow if you unders stand them, but therehave been few gardeners in the past that have known of their needs. Now we have many good books on the lily and anyone may grow them it he only will take the trouble tc find out how. I will just mention two Varieties that should be in every gyrdsn. Thd “Regal Lily,” one of E. K. Wilson's introductions China, Ina take en the front raflk in the (reatest class. It likes an average, loany soil, must have good drainage andshould be planted about ten inches dep. It resents manure and in good sdl will thrive without feeding at all. Good soil, dug deeply, and planting it the right depth are the most impetant things to p in mind. The other variety is the “Majone na Lily,” or “Ascension Lily,” ‘Lile fum Candidum). This is the Uk of antiquity and is finding great pope ularity today. This lily has to bd planted very differently from ‘hé “Regal.” Plant it in an ordiniry garden soil and not ever two {nelog deep. In cultivating near it, go vey, areful, for the roots are elese tq the surface and they resent any @he turbance. In purchasing Iilies, buy the bed bulbs obtainable and plant th carefully. Study their needs and you will succeed with them. Fall is the best season to plant them, though spring planting is recommended in sections where the winters are very severe, Regular bushing of the gums ag well as the teeth is easential for s ' healthy mouth.
