A .fortnight after Barbara returns to New York, she receives a letter from Pauline that she and Dennis are coming .to New York for a little vacation. Upon their arrival a'. round of gay entertainment gets under way —throwing Dennis and Pauline much into each " other's company. Dennis is in love with Barbara.

She had not moved her eyes from hien.-=-she knew it plight be the last time she would ever see him and she wanted to re- member hien faithfully — the obstin- ate chin and sensitive mouth — be- hind him and that was all. Then presently she found herself kneeling by the fire and wondering hopelessly why she could not cry, She could have kept him, but she had let him go. Why? "Because I'm a damned fool," she told herself With shaking lips. But she knew it was not; she knew it was because of a child she had once held in her arms for a little while that she had not found it possible to injure a child of Pauline's. Mellish came to the door, "Pid you call me?" she asked. "Bring me some brandy, will you? I'm .so cold." "There's a nice - fir`e, too," Mrs, Mellish said. "Yes," Barbara agreed, "Bring the brandy to my bedroom, please. I'm going out." "Ghastly! Ghastly!" -•she thought, and hunted for rouge. Mrs. Mellish brought the brandy. The honest eyes — the brown hair, and the broad shoulders against which her head had rested for the only happy moments she had ever known. Barbara smiled a little and held out her hark. Although she knew it was all over she felt that she must make one last appeal to him—an, appeal which she knew would be disregarded. "In spite of everything — I'm the same woman I was last night, Den, nis," she said. Afterward she wondered if he had really heard—or if she really spoke. She heard him across the little hall, open, the front door, and shut it again. "I'm all right. I shan't be in to lunch." Out in the street she hailed a taxi- cab and gavethe address of a.flat, off Park Avenue. "If only I didn't have' to : go on living," Barbara thought; then she laughed as she wondered! whether Pauline would ask her to be god- mother to Dennis's son. The taxi stopped, and she ,got,;out and paid the fare; then, without hes- itating, she walked into the entrance of the flats. A porter came forward. "Can you tell me which flat is Mr. Stark's?" Barbara asked. "The second floor, madam I'll take you up in the lift, "Thank you. I'll walk. I'm not in a hurry." She went slowly up the stone stairs. Douglas would be surprised to see her, or wouldn't he? It didn't matter much, either way probably he wouldn't be up, She rang the bell and waited. Af- ter a moment' her husband's manser- vant came to ; the door. Barbara said, "Good -morning, Ri- chards is Mr. Stark/ in?" "Yes, ;madam—just going out." "I'll go in. You need not announce me." She walked across the hall with un- faltering step and into the sitting room. It smelled of spirits and cigar smoke and was overheated. A man stood by the sideboard emptying a tumbler. Barbara said, "Good -morning, Douglas." "God Almighty!" Douglas Stark was a good-looking man, a little puffy under the eyes,, and a little red in the complexion. "What do you Want?" he demand- ed gruffly, to hide his emotion. "Only to say that—if you—if you like—I'll conte back -no, no—" as he moved toward her. "Wait. It's on condition that we go abroad -at once,. and travel—for as long as you like- months -years! I'm sick of New York, Sick to death. Well—will you go?" "Will I --hell!" He made a sort of excited lunge toward her, but she deftly avoided him.

Many illnesses are arbitrarily dated. back to a chilling of the body. "Be: careful of the draught"; "Wrap your- self up warmly"; are familiar injunc- tions given in every household. How- ever, exposure to a lower tempera- ture is tot the sole cause of illnesses, for, in communicable disease, the specific germ must be present if the disease is to develop. A few things are necessary to off- set, as far as is humanly possible, the development of an infection. The in- dividual should avoid chilling', secure abundant rest and sleep, and establish himself ' on a' good dietary regime. The avoidance of contact with any communicable disease is a necessary precaution.
