Lillian asked with a grin as | she came out on the veranda where Katherine and I were enjoying the view of rolling farmlands and mead- ows dipping down to the ocean-girt | village miles back. “She's scuttling back and forth from the Kitchen to the window In the dining room which commands a view of the front gate, with the fear of burning written on her expressive countenance. And ever and anon, also -occasionally, she is casting the most reproachful glances you, Madge. Haint you done right by her?” “All I've done is to keep out of her way since she came home from | the mysterious errand for which she asked to have luncheon set ahead,” 1 returned moros: “She's very anxious to talk to me, T gather from her manner, and—' “Then you certainly can be haul- ed before a court for inflicting iel and unusual punishment'—isn’t tha ll the way the Constitution rea Lillan retorted. “I can't ima any more fiendish torture for Kate than being obliged to keep her mouth shut when she wants to spill something.

Rut he 't a bit more proud of it than wus Mrs. Muskrat, To hear her talk it, you might have thought that that house was her idea and that she had done most of the work. The truth is, it was Jerry's idea and ne had done nearly all the work. Dut he was so tickled to have Mrs Muskrat approve of it that he w «quite willing she should take to her- welf all the credit for it Little Joe Otter had passed along that way and had nodded his ap- proval of the new house. Spotty the Turtle had several times climbed up on the root and he approved of that house. Grandfather Frog swam over and declared that it was the best house he had seen wince he lived in the 8miling Pool. Rattles the Kingfisher said that on his ly journcys he had a chance to :ec many Muskrat houses, but this one was beyond all question the best ever, All this was very flattering and Jerry Muskrat enjoved it. And then carly one evening came Billy Mink It was a long time since BGilly had been around. As a matter ol Billy had been taking one of hi nual journeys. Billy has the wan- dering foot.

He climbed up on the roof and made himself comfortable, “Where have you been?' in quired Jerry politely “All over,” replicd Billy, whieh really Aldn't give Jerry much in formation. “Did you go up the L ing Brook ”" inquircd Mrs, \ “I've heen up the Laughi nd down the Laughing r boen up the Big River and down River.

With voice cautiously lowered, Katherine told her of Katie's trip to Quoguc, accompanied by the suit- caga bulging _ with flamboyaut mourning garments, of Mother Gra- ham’s tantrum at Katie's request to have luncheon a half hour earlier tor our little maid’s convenlence, and of Mary's telephoned request to | Prince Georges that he take her to | Basthampton, which had made me | drive hastily to that charming relic | of old Colonial life oy Long Island. | “But though Madge quartered the streets of the village and the roads leading out of it, not a Bign of the young people did we see,” Katherine | finished. “No wonder she's grouchy with a whole afiernoon wasted.” “I wouldn't call it wasted,” Lillian sald, as she changed her indolent attitude to an alert attentive one, pretty conclusively | that Mary didn’t go to Easthampton.

Sister Mary Quot;es Delightful Recipe, (BY SISTER MARY) ,That our grandmothers and great grandmothers were interested in politics and perhaps in gently in- fluencing the voting members of their families and friends is evident In their clever naming and baking of a special cake. The traditional “election cake” is dark, rich, spicy and fruity, a com- bination that no man ever could re- sist from the Hamilton and Jeffer- son days on down. Bo if modern women feel inclined to carry on after the fashion of yesterday they must bake an election cake at least a week before the great day. Here's the way to do it: One yeast cake, 1 cup lukewarm water, 1 tablespoon granulated su- gar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon lard, 4 cups flour, 2 cups brown su- gar, 3 eggs, 1 cup seeded raisins, 1 cup shredded citron, 1 teasposn nut. meg, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 1 tea- spoon clove, 2 tablespoon lemon Juice, | 1-2 teaspoons soda, 1 cup butter. Dissolve yeast cake in lukewarm water. Add lard, sugar, and salt and 2 cups of flour. Mix thoroughly and Jet stand in a warm place over night, or six to eight hours. Then cream butter and slowly beat In bréwn sugar, beating until creamy. Ada one-half cup flour, and mix thoroughly. Ad1 eggs well beat. Add raisins, citron and lemon juice. Add sponge or yeast mixture to cake mixture. Dissolve soda in a little warm water and beat into batter. Mix and sift remaining flour with spices and stir into mixture. Mix thoroughly and turn into buttered and floured deep cake pans. Cover with a cloth and let stand in a warm place until double in bulk. Bake one hour mm a moderate oven. The cake can be frosted if de- red, but the fruit makes a frost- ing unnecessary. Health Hints BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Jourmal of the American Maodical Association and of Hy- geia, the Health Magazine The word “bexzoars” is generally applied to a collection of material found in the stomach and intestines of animals. Moat frequently it con- sists of hair and s called & tricho- bezoar. Such hair balls are found fre- quently in the cow, the horse and the cat, especially during the hair shedding season. The material tends to bs passed from the body or vomited and in general dees but little harm. Hair balls have been found in the stomacha of human beings as a result of pulling hairs and chew- ing them, and in the case of one man from chewing his beard. At least 116 cases of hair balls in the human stomach have been report- ed in medical literature. Probably there were hundreds of additional cases not reported because new in- formation not provided to medical scienc The Jurgest hair ball reported weighed 8% pounds. Until the hair ball hecomes 80 large as to block the passage of food, it is not likely to disturb the patient. Eventually, however, it results in &eneral obstruction and, in some cases, death. In addition to this type of sub- stance, permanent masses are found on occasion in the stomach and intestines made up of In- digestible material, such as the fibrous portions of fruit and vege- tubles; persimmon, prune, raisin skins, and seeds, and celery. When these things are insufficiently chewed, or when they are taken in large amounts, they may form a mass in the stomach which Is acted on with difficulty by the gastric juice and eliminated only with the greatest of trouble. Modern gcicatific medical diag- nosis discovers these cases with- cut great difficulty by the use of the X-ray. The superstitious savages of the past used to attach great value to hair balls and Lezoars, using them in voodooism and in magic.

Modemism Made Restful By Simplicity Of Design JULIA I\l.\\\fl ARD New York, Oct. 27.—Modern art bas angled and circled its way suo- cessfully into the very dreams of contemporary America. For, in all the interiors done In the modern manner with geomet- ric designs, nothing is more hap- plly executed than modern bed- rooms, Especially Is this true in bedrooms for the American boy or for the American man, Simpllcity of line, inherent strength, comfort and a charming blending of colors to give life and yet subdued beauty to the scheme —these are some of the qualities of modern bedrooms for men. Now Design Our Own Ameriean now fashions its own modern furniture, without relving upon Europe for design, materials or color schemes. From the cate new modern wall-paper, pets and rugs, through the house down to the least candle stick used at dinner or the after dinner coffee spoon, one can have a 100 per cent American home, | done in the modern manner. And in fashioning its own things in contemporary manner, American manufacturers take into consideration the characteristics of those who will use the various things. Furniture and furnish- ings for men's rooms, for instance, reflect the comfort, practicality and interesting design Americans tike as background for their per- sonalities. Decorative schemes employ the soft nuances that to- day produces, but use colors that avold any suggestion of effemi- nacy. car- whole Geometric Figures Prowns, tans, soft greys and sil- vers ure the favorite backgrounds for men’s bedrooms. Of course there are lively touches, red, ycl- low, blue or green. Angles, cir- eles and other geometric designs are the starting vlace in most dec- oration on modern things. But ingenuity in design produces -some very interesting figures that scem remote from a asimple angle or cir- cle. In a bachelor's room, stance, the entire motif of derign Is some geometric figure.

(UP)—The number of imports that were done in tulle and taffeta goes a long way to weaken the conviction that slinky lines alone express the con- temporary dress silhouette — even in its most sophisticated form. It is inevitable that one should refer to Chanel's black tulle of last year henever mention of tulle trocks is made, so that now, when in large and featured series in nearly every re. presentative smart collection, the reference fairly shriks for express sion. Tailoring, so characteristic of Chanel is prescrved and, while it is this very quality that does away with any hint of fussiness, the frou-frou that tulle usually person- tfics. Minarets, self pompous and ruches of crisp transparent tex- ture are now in good standing. With the taffetas and erect pile velvet (Lyoss) there is a different feeling in silfiouette. Instead of the tiers and minarets of the tullesy which thouga outstanding and wide, by their shgerness go no further than producing a kind of penumbra that envelopt the very slim founda- tion of the scirt, the sturdier of these crisp skks, taffeta, moire and velvet go in for huge poufs or ir- regularly shaped tunics. In the same breath that one remarks these exag< gerations of tie silhouette, usuaily at the hip as Cieruit does them, one dares to poiut sut, too, that there in still something slim about such & silhouctte. This impression is Iarge- ly the result of the long fitted bo- dice and the narow hemline that is always seen in such skirts. It is worth while to compare the cure rent interpretatior of the crisp sil+ houette, made up as it is of equal parts of slimness and bouffancy, with the cla ribe de style that had always been he formuia of taffeta for eveniag wear, and which, in many eirdes, still holds. The introduction «f Lyons velvet is one of the most significant ges- tures of upproval stown silks that upon distented, piquant lines for costume devdgpment.
