‘l..fivé’s Awakening mu-nsuq By Adele Garrisen Madge and Lilllan Refuse Veritzew's Iavitation to Lunch, But Make a Dinner Engagement My ll;ul to Lillian to give 2a negative answer to any proposal of Philip Veritzen's was just in time, for hardly had the laughter left his lips at her quip concerning the “tepth wave” than he broached the subject of our lunching with him. “There is no possible reason why you shouldn't,” he said when he had given invitation in the slightly formal manner which always invests his proffers of entertainment. “No less an authority than Mr. Graham just now assured me that your pleas of being extra busy today were— ‘shall we be crude and say ‘the bunk’?—and that you could very well spare the time to save me from a lonely luncheon.” That Lillian was surprised at the news of our encounter with Dicky I was certain, but her poker face held no hint that she had not hersell »hnned the meeting. ‘Isn’t that iike the Dicky-bird?” she demanded crossly of me. “Or of any man, for that matter. Your idea of moving is either to stand in the middle of the floor and toss some cigars and magazines into a bag, letting some patient sufferci like a wife or valet attend to getting your tooth brushes and pajamas along with you. You seem to thi that getting & family from one hal tation to another is simply a mattei of waving the hands gracefully and crooning ‘abracadabra’ in a turtle dove sort of voice. Oh, all of you trousered humans give a lumbago in the vertebrae at the back of my throat—I’'m putting violets on the slang for your benefit, Phil—with your conceptions of what feminine tasks are.” Otto is Amused Mr. Veritzen laughed heartily, us he always does at Lillian's tirad, and a swift furtive glance at Ott) standing so respectfully at the side of the limousine, showed that usual- ly imperturbable attendant with twitching lips. “] suppose all this cruel invective is. only camouflage for a refusal of my invitation,” Mr. Veritzen began, “but I—." ***But me not buts,’ old dear,” she interrupted ruthlessly. “You can go to the head of the class and get a blue merit card for your correct an- swer to the problem. There's about as much chance of your entertaining us at luncheon today as there is of a 8cotch joke being pulled about something else than thrift. Nay, also, no, old darling. We can't get DIPPER INTRODUCES MRS, GREBE By Thornton W. Burgess In other folk's affairs go slow: Their secrets you've no right to know. —Old Mother Nature Peter Rabbit couldn't Keep away from the 8miling Pool. Ever since he had seen Dipper the Grebe there, he had taken every opportunity to 80 visit the Smiling Pool. For sev- eral visits he was disappointed. He saw nothing of Dipper. Grandfather Frog wasn’t in the best of spirits and refused to tell Peter whether or not Dipper had been there. “It's none of my business and it's none of your business, Peter Rab- bit,” sald Grandfather Frog gruffly. | “You are altogether too. fond of poking that wabbly little nose of yours into other people’s busine: “I am not poking it into body’s businesg” declared Peter. certainly am doing no one any harm by coming over to visit Dipper th: Grebe.” Grandfather Frog chuckled. “Your visiting doesn't seem to be much of & succeas,” said he. But there came a day when Peter did not call at the Smiling Pool in vain. Hardly had he peeked over the bank when he discovered Dip- | per swimming near the upper side of the 8miling Pool. This was where the Laughing RBrook entered the 8miling Pool. The alders grow there and it is somewhat swampy. It iy back there among these alders that Longbiil the Woodcock and Mrs, Woodcock like to make their home. If Dipper saw Peter, he made no sign. 8o Peter sat down on the bank in plain sight and. waited patiently. Peter Rabbit is an excellent sitter. When he has nothing else to do he sits, and it happens that he has spe- cial ability in finding nothing else to do. Bome people are that way. At last his patience was reward- ed. Dipper came swimming over to that side of the Smiling Pool. “Good morning.” said Peter. “Good morning. Peter,” Dipper. “It is a nice spring morn- ing, isn't it>" “It certuinly is’"* replied Peter, . |got to get away to lunch with you teday. Our husbands may let us, but our final packing won't."” Mr. Veritzen turned to me with a slight shrug of his shoulders. “That is your verdict, too?" ke queried. “I am afraid it is" I returned demurely. “But we are terribly disappointed, aren’t we, Lillian?” Her reply was as prompt and ap- parently as spontaneous as if she had not just sent me a secret signal to ‘“spread the salve.,” one of her frequent injunctions when we were dealing with a vain fended person. “Desolated,” she said, and walk- ing over to my stately employer, she |grasped him by the lapels of nis coat and shook him slightly. “Don’t you dare be grouchy about this,” she admonished. ou know well enough that your luncheon parties are not to be.sneezed at and both Madge and I would givea fin- ger joint or two to be present at one of them. And if you don’t ask us some other time when we can go, 1 personally shall see that you are subjected to the most ingenious tor- tures I can order for you. But to- day it is impossible. So kiss us sweetly goodbye, little boy. I a sume Madge has told you all you |wish to know about the situation at the farmhouse—and come to see us, say day after tomorrow at the hotel.” Another Invitation “If it weren't for Otto,” Mr. Ver- |itzen said mischievously, but using the same low tone Lillian had em- ployed. “I should take you up on that goodbye proposition. But 1 shall keep your permission 1n | mind.” “That's a splendid place to keep [it,” Lillian assured him. *Just sec |that it stays there.

And when we had taken leave of Mr. Veritzen and were apeeding back toward the farmhouse my brain was still whirling with the question: How would Dicky react to Phillip Veritzen's presence as a din- ner guest?

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine A bad breath has been considerel unpleasant since the beginning of time, The ancient Greek poets wrote much upon the subject and the epi- grams of Martial and of Catullus refer not infrequently to halitosis, | such as although the ancients were not o finicky about the name they gavs to this. disorder. It is rather difficult to find ovt just when the understanding arose that a bad breath could be bene- fited by drinking milk or eating parsley. Milk is a white fluid asso- ciated invariably with purity andl, no doubt, was taken with the idea that its whiteness would counteract the evil of ‘bad breath., Parasley is a- bitter substance associated with the idea of cleansing and the purity of herbs and it also was conceived to have special virtues in attacking a bad breath, Not infrequently . bad. breath is due to poor digestion. In such cases eating anything or drinking anything will cause the material in the stomach to pass on and in that way temporarily relieve the condition. There are other methods of masking a bad breath; for example, the eating of cloves to remove th: odor of liquor, a method popular for many years. This may be com- pared to the sprinkling of perfume over garbage, or ‘the placing of re- ceptacles containing pine .tar in public comfort stations, Halitosis or bad breath is not a ; oy S ever, when it 1s inadvisable to eat onfons. The man about to call on the lady of his choice, the apeaker about to address s woman's club, or the young lady who antici- pates a proposal will do much better on the particllar ‘occasion with some other flavoring vehicle. TOO MUCH TALK By Alice Judson Peale Mothers often complain that their children do not listen to what is said to them, that they turn a deaf ear both to commands and explanations. Yet a normal childis not usually inattentive, He naturally pays very close attention to what is going on around him and tries very hard to understand. Babes are especially sensitive to sounds of all sorts. If two and three year olds often ‘are distressingly inattentive to their disease with a single cause, but a symptom. resulting from many pos- sible causes. Infected teeth, tonsils filled with infectious matter or even with decaying particles of food, in- fections.in the nose with crusting, and particularly in the spaces hind the nose afe prominent causes of this symptom. When the causc is discovered, the symptom may be relieved by removal of the cause, Gargles - are sometimes effective in washing the mouth and throat. Infected tonsils should be re- moved. The nose and threat may be washed with simple solutions, a teaspoonful of common salt in a glass of warm water. A careful inspection by a physician and an occsional washing with antiseptic solutions may help to clear up such conditions perma- nently.
