my breath in dismay at statement that It limousine and chauffeur teo our royal gueats, for whose safety we were 8o concerned. At once 1 had ssen what a boon the effer ‘of his commodious car and chauffeur would be to us. I knew that Harry Underwood had planned to hire _another large and . speedy car which, with his own, would take care of all of our party. But that invelved the bringing in of jers Into”our plarw, semething which he wished to avoid if possible. That Lillian's husband weuid ac- cept Nir. Veritsen's'offer 1 did not doubt, but I was not prepared to say that he would welcome the addi- tion of the great man himself to the party. Yet it seemed the height of churl- ishness to accept the car and bar the owner. Mentally I called down anathema on Dicky's head. If he had called Lillian to the telephons instead of me I would not have been compelled to appear ungracious, the only course which seemed open to me. Finally I mustered up courage to say the thing which I mdst. “But it is net mine to tell you that,” I said. “All our plans are in Mr, Underwood's hands, and he has made it plain that no ene—no one must come to the farmhouse before we leave. Yet ] am sure he will bg delighted and relieved at the offer of your cer, “but whether he will wish you te accompany us—frankly I canmot tell you that. “Well, it he doesn’t I can go in by train,” Mr. Veritzen said, but with g distinctly offended note in his voice, which 1 mentally admitted was jus- tifiable, Complications Ret In “May I not haye Mr. Underwood call you up or run over teo ses 1 1 asked. s you wish,” my employer said, his dignity increasing with every second, “But one thing 1 must teil you — I may not accompany your party ts the city, but I am going to engage a suite at the same hotel and stay there while the present emergency exists. That is at least within my rights.’ stant, for the pomible consequences of his announced action appalled me. I could think of nothing so calculated to “throw a meukey wrench inte the machinery,” as Lil- lian had quoted, than Philip Ve sen’s presence—and watchfulness— in the hotel which was to house the members of our “international ro- mance” and to be the “tiger trap” which Harry Underwood meant to bait with Prince Georges. “I trust you agree with me,” my employer went on icily, when I did not answer him, “that I have the right to go to the hotel if T wish. “'Oh, of course, of course,” I said hastily. “And I'll have Mr. Under- wood get In touch with you as soon as possible.” Plans for the Journey “Thank you so much,” he said perfunctorily, and then I had turned away from the telephone wonduring whether Dicky was still within hear ing. But he had disappeared, . and I went in search of Lillian, with the lively tear that this intrusion of Philip Veritzen into our preblems would complicate matters sorely, Rut to my surprise and relief Lil- lian was not at all disturbed when I found her and told her my news. Instead she laughed gleefully. “The darling old billy goat,” she said. “Harry'll give him a vote of Harry's is \n wonderful condition and he has had it gone over with a fine tooth comb in especial prep— aration for this journey. And, course, Otto keeps Phil's car readiness for a Presidentia] Inuu.- uration ride at any instant. I think Harry will tell Phil to come along, too. Let's see how will that work out in passengers?” , Bhe considered for a long mhmu- elbows on knees, chin cupped palms, in the attitude so famil -r to mo. Then she relaxed chuckled mischievously. “Above all things, our Philip hates to be crowded,” she said “but it he wisl to toddle along on this party he’ll have to bear his share of discomfort. Heow's this arrange- ment? In Harry's car. which he will drive, there will be Dicky, Georges, Mary and me. Phil's will house himself, you, Noel, Princesa Olina.” (Continued Tomorrow) * Copyright, 1929, Newsanaper and and 1 could not answer him for an in- mmmm By Thoraton W :g Never think you know it ;e You'll_find you're riding for a fall. —Old Mother Nature Peter Rabbit visited the Bmiling Pool every day, hoping that he would gee the babies of Dipper the Grebe agair ‘He had just a glimpse of them leaving the nest.

Then that little head, reappeared and in & moment two others appear- ed. These babies were riding on their mother's back. They were very finy babies.

Tong before such knowledge developed, man thought that epidemics were due to pestilential conditions of the air. Indeed, it was believed that swamps and lowlands generated noxious vapors which spread to neighboring communities and woiled the air. The very word “malaria” means bad air. After great wars there were un- buried men and animaly lying nbout and it was supposed that these generated gas through decay and decomposition. Hence these localitics were shunned especially as unfit. It was thought that the fetid animals hnd the spirits of dead poliuted the air and that spirits were abroad, 1rticu. nizht. For this reason, the f hreathing night air became universal. Of course, the facts that night air is just about as good as day air so far as any effects on the human body are concerned and that it i= only the unintelliscnt who sleep with closed windows sealed away from enough oxygen and cool :arry on satisfactory respira- "or such conditions as tuber- culesie the modern physician sug- gests sleeping in the open air. However, associated with sleep- ing in the open air there are other menaces against which mankind must protect himself, particularly in countries where there are in- fectious diseas arried by insects. The ancient Romans suspected that insects could carry diseases and as carly as 1887 John Crawford of Baltimore attempted to prove Hm' malarfa was nsmitted by cts. It remained, however, for Nii nson in India to formulate the scientific conception of infections in malaria by the mosquite and for the famous Driiish, physician, Ronald Ross, to demonstrate that the mosquito transmits the disezse. His work was still further elab. orated hy the famous Talians, Grassl and LBastianelli. These men proved dAcfinitely that a certain genus of mosquito, the anopheles, the larly fear well n are is not only the insect that carries malaria, but the only method by which the disease is transmitted from man fo man. Hence the per- eon who sleeps in the open air in malarial districts must protect himself from the mosquito if he will escape the dicease. Fortunately for civilized man, it has beer shown that the mosquito tends te bregd in imarshes and.in swamps and the propagation of this insect in the south has been prevented by drainage of the areas in. which -the %mlqu!ln existed, Today malaria an /infrequent: condition in the temperate sone, hut the ignorant still fear the night air, close the windows tightly and believe that thereby they are pro- tecting themseives agdinat ‘malaria. “‘CRAYONS AND PAPERS By Alice Judson Peale Crayons and paper are good play materiels for little children. But more than any other material they tend to be misused 'by both adults and children. It crayons are placed among the child’s pother playthings they are likely to be put to all sorta of uses besides the one for which they were designed. The young child is apt to treat them as he does other small ohjects, simply as things to be car- ried about from place to place, to be put into boxes and baskets and taken out again. They hecome broken and stepped on and finally are scorned as are raost things that have been subject. ed to misuse. The difficulty can he overcome by keeping crayons ai paper out of reach and by bringing them out only when they are asked for by the child. If, when he makes this re- quest, we put the crayons befors him on the table, he will use them for the legitimate purpese of mark. ing the paper. As moon as ‘he fis through we should put them away, Crayons and paper are, however, £hiee denh by AN Sie by or offer- 1f that is a dog, he ought to have a tail” “Why don't you use hlue? Blue would look nice with the green.” We should suggest to little chil- dren neither subject matter mnor technique, nor should we ask them for explanations of their scribbles, When we demand an interpretation from the child we are, in fact, re- questing a justification for what he has done. Usually he responds by telling us that his scrawl is a pic- ture of the first thing that comes to his mind.

It teok a man and a maid to reach the decision to get married. To- gether théy decided the approxi- mate date, But the maid plays a lene hand from them on in making plans. Convention lets her set the hour, choose formal eor informal ceremony, plan the reception, hreak- fast or tea following and wheather the wedding take place at church or home. Conventions help her out, how- ever, in making her decisions. There Tare rather strict rules of etiquet for Iweddlnn which secm to have per- sisted, in spite of modern infor- mality. Throe Smartest Hours When, for: instance, are smart weddings held nowagay! Noog. 4 and 8 p. 'm. —smartest In the order given, invitatiohs are issued from a fort- night to three weeks before & formal ceremony and no reply is necesmry to » thurch wedding but written or verbal Invitations to home weddings und to all wedding ‘breakfasts, re- ceptions or' high téas should be answered promptly. Presents are not inevitable upon receipt of an in- vitation but moat folks send them, Announcements are sent out & few days after the ceremony and need not be sent to those invited to the wedding. No anzwers are neces- sary and ne presents required. The statienery, script and wording of in- vitations and announéements is a personal matter, and good stationers, usually have experts to advise on current styles, Acceptances to in- titations should be written in much the wording of the invitation. Allotment of Expenses The bride's family bears the brunt of wedding expenses. They pay for the following: Her wedding gown, bridesmaid’s gifts, often their flow- ers and sometimes their frocks and hats. They pay, too, for the church decorations, the gexton’s fee and music; for refreshyuents, decorations and entertainment afterwards; for; nvitations, announcements, convey- ances of guests and bridal party. The bridegroom buys the bride's hougquet and may buy the . brides- maldx’, pay for the license. the clergyman, gifts for boutonnieres for uslers, gift for the ushers. gift for the bride and the heneymoon ex- penmes. Fees for the clergyman may be anything from $5 for a small town eNurch or home wedding to $25. $50, or even up to $1,000 in a million- aire's cathedral. AN Depends on Wedding A bride may have one sister or friend stand up with her or she may have a formal procession of a maid or matron of honor and cizht brides- maids, & ring bearcr and flower girl. 1ishers correspond in number. A bride may wear a million dollar white outfit with trailing lace veil at church, or she may be married in her silk ensemble and hat that she has bought for traveling or in & simple summer frock, Noon and evening church weddings are formal, In church the bridegroom’s family is meated in the frent row on the right, the bride’s on the left. The bride’s family is the last to enter the church before the wedding proces. sion begins. No one should be sit at the bride's table at big wed- ding feasts. She cuts the firat alice of cake, shares it with the bride- groom and the waiters or ‘guests cut the rest. Only the bridal party gets the bride's cake. Others get small souvenir hoxes, at formal weddings. At home weddings all guests sit at other fables or are served informally of the bride's cake. At big wedding parties the pare ents of the bride and groom, the minister and other distinguished guests sit at a second special table. At a high noon wedding the wed- ding breakfast may have a de luxe ham and egg main dish, pattics or any other luncheon menu, without salad. Four a’clock weddings may have sandwiches, salads, cofice and desserts or a hot course. - Tiveninga have somewhat the same. as four v'clock ones, with “imare ' clabarete canapes, n.nlwium het dishes snd salads.
