Love's Awakening By Adele Katle's Unusual Request to “Get Off” Arouses Madge's Curiosity Katie was flying about her Kitch- en like mad when 1 entered it, and her eyes wer curiously bright when she turned toward me at my en- trance. That she was tremendously excited about something, I promptly guessed, for long experience with my little maid has accustomed me to her vagaries, and I was not sur- prised when she rushed into impetu- o peech. 'Oh, Missis Graham,” she said. “I so glad you coom. I shoost going oopstairs to ask you sometings. 1 vant have loonch half-past twelve today und pile oop my dishes till 1 coom back decs afternoon. Me, 1 shoost got vord I haf to go over by dot onz\:e carly dees aiternoon, but 1 coom back qveeck. 1 not stay long.” “Why! Has the mail asked, vaguely puzzled by some- | thing in her manner and in- stinctively sparring for time at her unusual request, Katie never changes the time of the family meals, and strongly resents anyone else doing so She hcsitated oddly, her face clouding, then it as si€denly clear- ed again. “No, it come?” 1 no coom, but telegram coom ven Missis Underwood get hers. 1 no tell you den, you hurry off 50 quecck to her room.” She was drawing vividly on her imagination, I was sure of that, but there was nothing for me to do save humor her. Katie's request for indulgence are so few and her faithful service so exceptional that 1 would have acceeded to a far greater upsetting of my household routine than luncheon a half hour carlier. “Of course, Katie,” T said heartily, noting that my belated assent was just in time to dispel the storm clouds T saw gathering in her al- ways expressive face. “I'll go and tell the family of the change.” She beamed again. “Tank you, tank you,” she said. “I know you feex eet for me. But you not going s0 qveeck? You vant ml!nnfln sumw Wo-n Garrison sometings ven you coom in shoost now ?** “1 wnated to talk over something with you,” 1 said truthfully, “but there won't be time now, and it will do just as well this afternoon, when you come hack, or even tomorrow, if you are late.” “Me, I no late,” Katie returned, “dot ces—" she amended hastily— “eef vomans vot 1 going see meets me. Maybe I miss her vunce und haf hunt for her. But I not tink so. I tink 1 come back by tree o'clock.” 1 mentally dubbed her an opti- mist as 1 went upstairs to notify the family of the change In the lunch- con hour. Quogue is a good twenty miles away, and the ramshackle old car which is the pride of Katie and Jim is limited in its speed possibili- ties. If she took any time at alj for the errand which was of enough im- portance to make her change the family luncheon hour, she would not be back at three—or four. But T had something else on my mind besides Katie's vagaries as 1 tapped on my mother-in-law’s door. 1 knew that to all the rest of the houschold the mere announcement of luncheon a half hour earlier would be sufficient. For myself, 1 was distinetly glad, as it would give me plenty of time to reach East- hampton before Mary's announced appearance there. But my doughty mother-in-law abhors any change in routine, and she is especially resent- ful of any deviation from household rules upon Katie's part. I expected an uncomfortable session with her, and my expectations were not dis- appointed. “I never heard of anything so ridiculous in my life,”" she stormed when I had told her of Katie's re- quest and my assent to it. “Turn- ing a whole house upside down be- use a hired girl wants to go traipsing over the country In that ridiculous car of hers, 1 don’t be- lieve she's ever had a telegram at all.

Burgess ‘en the independent find Trouble never far behind. —Jimmy Skunk It isn't often that Jimmy Skunk! finds himself in trouble. But trouble conies to everybody and once in a while Jimmy gets in trouble through hia very independence. Jimmy was in trouble now. In his independence he had been careless and Hooty the Owl had all but caught him, Now Jim#y had burrowed into a corn- schock and he was nursing a sore leg. His coat had been torn just ove his hip and Hooty's long, sharp claw had gone way through that coat into the flesh. Jimmy was safe for the time be- ing, however, and that was the maln thing. “I'll stay here the rest of the night,” said Jimmy to himself. “I don’t dare try to go any farther while it is dark. I know Hooty will be watching until it Is broad day- light. My goodness, he pretty nearly got me that time! I hope I am not §oing to be lame after this.” 80 the long night passed and by and by jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun began his daily climb up in the blue, iue sky. Jimmy poked his head out from his hiding place. There was nothfng now to fear from Hooty the Owl, There was nothing to fear from anybody. Everybody but Hooty has too much respect for Jimmy's little scent-gun to bother him much. “Ooch!” exclaimed Jimmy as he dragged himself out. “Ooc “What's the matter with you, Jimmy Skunk?” inquired Sammy Jay, who happened along just them. “I met with an accident,” re- plied Jimmy, who was ashamed of having been so carcless as to give Hooty the Owl a chance, and so didn't want any one to know it. Sammy Jay was interested right away. “What kind of an accident?” he demanded. “Oh, just an Jimmy. “Ooch!” Jimmy now w accident,” said s out in full view and Sammy J. bright eyes saw the tear in Jimmy's coat. Those eyes of Bammy's opened very wide at that. He just stared. He knew that that tear had heen made by a claw and this was news.. To think | that somebody had dared to attack Jimmy Skunk! Right away Sammy's curiosity was aroused. “Who did it, Jimmy? Who it?” cried Sammy Jimmy paid no att started to move along. Then it was that he found he was v lame.

MORRIS FISHBEIN dJournal of the American Medical Association and of Hy- gcia, the Health Magazine Considered formerly & discase largely limited to the southern parts of the United States, Leen found in Minnesota and in Tllinois, and indeed in all parts of the world. In 1915 more than 10,000 died of this discase in the United States, and it s reported that in 11917 and 1918 at least people in the southern portion og the United States suffered from it. Rarc in Winter Pellagra usually occurs in the spring and new cases rarely occur in the fall and winter. It has heen suggest=d that its cause might be an organism distributed by the bite of some ins-ct, since many in- sects appear in the spring and dis- appear before fall. However, mors recent views in- )clino to the belief that pellagra is due to a deficiency of certain sub- stances in the diet, because it oc- curs largely among people who de- cs to raising cotton d buy their food from the gro- cery store. The first signs of pellagra are soreness of the mouth and tongre, disturbance of the bowels, a bronzing of the skin and later scvere symptoms associated witn the nervous system. In Ttaly the peasants who suffer from pellagra live chiefly on corn- meal mush. In the United States people who suffer from this dis- ease live largely on highly refined cornmeal, wheat flour, rice, sugar, molasses and pork. Doctors who have made signifi- cant studies of the problem say that the diet of the person with pellagra contains three m's — meat, meal and molasses, Dictry Remedy The cure of pellagra has been reported in many people by add- ing to their dicts yeast, lean meats, fresh vegetahles, eggs and milk.

The one at the left, tris od with ostrich feathers, Is worn by the celcbrated ¥ leanor Ambrose, The tulle model shown at the righ is one he created for an American (By Jean Patou) Paris, Oct. 22.—It has never en- tered my mind to undertake to create theatrical costumes. I feel no inclination whatever to do so. There is, however, a type of dress destined to be worn and exhibited to the public which, while not coming un- der the heading of costume, is dis- cernible by being a shade more ex- travagant and conveying a hint of eccentricity non-existent in an ordi- nary gown. I am now speaking of the type of dress usually worn by the profes- sional “ballroom dancer.” An essen- tial condition of such a dress is that it must not by any means look the- atrical. Yet it should have a dis tinctive dressiness about it that would be out of place for a non- professional. For the ballroom dancer's gown is an entirely differ- ent one from the ordinary evening gown, In color, cut, decorative or- namentation and even in such things as decolletage and length, it makes its own rules. It is considered 2n tention, which of cou.ce I8 never the rule followed in choosing . evening gowns for non-professional wear., Must Be Supple But the correct gown for the ball- room dancer should entirely avoid a stagy look. What T dislike in any stage costume, howoever beautiful its coloring may be, Is its lack of sup- pleness. This, of course, docs not apply to character dancers. The qualitics I seek most to achieve when creating such a dress and which are absent in all other stage costumes are those of grace, movement and undulation. thing likely to hinder movement and the rhythm of the dance factors of such danscuses—is not only to be avoided but accentuated. Every movement the dancer is liable to make should be emphasized by a fluttering of material. ated have been conceived on these general lines and therefore arc al- ways made of chiffon or tulle. Satins lor any such other materials, through their very opaque qualities, cannot of airy grace which dancers always endeavor to convey. They are com- pelled to resort to a movement of the hands in order to make their !dresses undulate around the body— efective, but never should be @ necessity. Feathers or Tulle Always with his idea of convey- ing a sense of fluffines a trimming medium for these danc- ing dresses, on one condition though, and that is the very care- fully thoughtout way in which it is used. This idea of fluffiness is also the reason why tulle dancing dregses are shaded from light to dark and why more thickness of tulle are used at the waistline than at the hem. All these technicalities in the actual creation of the dress, aided also by stage lighting, contribute to the gen- erally attractive appearance of the danseuse. All effects or trimmings of a dancing dress, called upon to move with the wearer, must nccessarily be used in moderation as it is of the utmost importance they should con- vey the impression of the perform- er's lithe body. Another feature 1 like to accentuate in this type of dress is a distinct waistline, en- hanced by a glittering waistbelt. Tt has no other object ‘but that of out- lining the slim grace of the artiste. But this, after all, is one of her ab- solutely essential requisites.
