SYNOPSIS
One bleak November day .Joyce
Ashton, poor stenographer, was in a
skidding taxicab in Chicago. Next
thing she remembered was two years
later when she woke one morning in
California,, with a wedding ring on
hand, and a pleasant young man, ad-
dressing her as Frills, telling her to
be careful after her, fall from her
horse of the day before. Her hus-
band was Neil Packard, rich fruit
packer. Confused and troubled, she
tried to find out more about herself
and from letters in her desk found
that she had been a heartless, frivol-
ous young woman and had become
involved in a serious .affair with a
man : named Maitland. Later, when
he came to see her, he was hurt and
surprised when she tried to repulse.
him, but he finally left her.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Before the stranger reached ,her
she had time to see that he was a
thin, unimpressive
type with reddish
face and tiny sandy mustache, neatly
clipped. His features were small and
his blue eyes twinkled. His plain
gray business suit, wlich lacked all
trace of style, was in need of press-
ing and his wide commonsense shoes
were dusty and scratched.
"Well, Frills, how's the beautiful
bean feeling today? Golly you women
are lucky, the way you can get
thrown around and not get hurt- Now
a pian, who has to use his head,
would have been just the fellow to
get a crack that would put him out
of business completely,"
you ever taken my advice, • yotmg
He stared at her with such a and -
den keen searching look in his blue
eyes that Joyce blushed deeper than
ever,
"Advice comes natural to a doctor,
Frills," he went on. "If you are go-
ing to take advice, I wish you'd take
some I've given you long ago. ,Quit
this excessive 'smoking! Look at the
way you fidget"
"But I haven't smoked since day
before yesterday," retorted. Joyce tri-
umphantly, "so it can't be that."
"It can't?. Whew! No wonder you
are nervous! Dont'. you know you
can't cut it out all at once? :Not, a
girl with your highly strung nervous
system, who's been smoking at the
terrific rate you have! Use a little
commonsense. Here take this. If you
want to out out smoking, do it grad-
ually." He handed her a cigarette
with a decisive gesture which made
refusal impossible. •
Joyce took it, her hand shaking.
But before she had even raised it to
her mouth, they were interrupted by
the arrival of Roxie. "Dr. Elison, the
Gates Hospital wants to speak to you
sir."
The doctor jumped to his feet.
"Thanks, Roxie, just tell them I'll be
right there. Good-bye, • Frills, 1,11
drop in again later," and he was off
without a backward glance.
Joyce drew a breath of relief. "An-
other one killed off! That message.
was sheer luck. I couldn't have light-
ed this cigarette with him looking on,
she murmured.
'Packard was irrimacuilately well dress-
ed and well groomed,
'If she afffl;ected Frills one-half as
unpleasantly as she does rne,";thought
Joyce, "she wouldn't be on' speaking
terms with me now, or ielse` at least
Frills would have put the fear` of God
into her,"
"You escaped a very serious'injury,
went on the visitor. "Have you had
Dr. Ellison make 'a thorough exam-
ination?"
"No, I haven't," replied Joyce: Her
welcoming smile faded oat, and sit-
ting down again, she; puffed at her
cigarette, waiting in defensive silence.
If this was Laurine, deliver her from
any more in-laws! '
"Well, I should ,certainly think he
would have done it , , , I do wish ydu
would consluthini. I feel certain he
would think a thorough infernal ex-
amination the -only safe thing to do
after such an accident as yours. .
A stitch in time saves
Joyce:wanted to ad'd, "And an a -
p
ple a day keeps the doctor away,",
but she kept quiet, wondering how
Much longer: Laurine would stick to
this particular subject.
Laurine changed the subject. "Del-
plune sent her love to you and hopes
you're feeling recovered from the .ac-
cident, and Paul said to tell you he'd
probably -run in sometime
today. He'e
having lunch , at the club with Otis
Clark ,and a business friends from the
city, and, they're going to play golf
all afternoon, with Art Belmain to
make up a foursome."
It was nearly an hour later when
Mrs. Paul Packard • rose from the
marble bench. • She had touched on a
multitude of subjects, ranging from
the newest cold cream and its 'won-
derful effects, to the details of the
recent confinement of: a Mrs. Well-
man.
The effect of this call on Joyce was
a wearily annoyed feeling that she
had suffered more than the net results
in the way of enlightening facts were
worth.
"By the way, Delphine told me she
saw Arthur Maitland one night hav-
ing dinner at the Palace with what
she called a 'jazz baby' in a vermilion
evening dress: And I heard from
someone else, though I won't repeat
the name because if there's one thing
I pride myself on it's not spreading
scandal or gossip—but it's a woman
who spends a lot of her time in the;
city, and you know her almost as
well as I do,—that Maitland has two
separate `,apartments in the city, not
ust the one where the men have their
stag parties. I think you ought to
know those things because you're so
careless about appearances and it's a
crying shame the way you run around
with a man like Arthur Maitland."
In the midst ofthe resentful fury
that seized Joyce at the nerve of the
woman' for mixing into her private
affairs she could not help. feeling ad-
miration for Laurine's courage, She
had thought of Frills as, a dynamic
being who would not for. a moment
have tolerated the rebuke or advice
of midle-aged conventionalities. She
herself was speechless, unprepared,
and no match for Laurine's methods
of attack. It occurred to her, how-
ever, that this information of the se-
cond apartment might be used later
in, her handling of Maitland, and she
could not help • being a little grateful
to Laurine for furnishing her with
any weapon.
Laurine, not waiting for the scar-
let -faced Joyce to reply, went on
calmly, "When your'e a little older,
my dear, and have had as much ex-
perience as I have of the world, you
will realize it's foolish to put any
trust in a man who is so lacking in
Maitland has two separate apartments in the city, not just the one
where the men have their stag parties.
Joyce smiled up at him easily. This
man was not in love with them, she
knew instinctively. He was friendly
enough, but impersonal.
"Oh, is that so?" she retorted.
"Well, •the Lord must have thought
women's brains more important than
men's, if he protected them so much
better."
'Ha! Well, I haven't time for any
arguments on the equality of the sex-
es now, just dropped in to see what
you looked like so I can send Neil a
wire that everything is 0. IS"
Of course! This was the doctor!
"Well, ;I'm all right," she replied,.
and then it occurred to her that she
had better not be too well if she wish-
ed to stave off the hordes of friends
who were tryingto"
drawher back
into their activities. "But it shook
me up and I'm going: to cut out some
of the jazz for this week anyhow . .
You might te1l people it's '•byY our,
orders."
"Hal You don't expect d o
an.bto

orders of mine, do you? When have
She successfully lighted the :cigar-
ette and puffed at it daintily. After
a few moments, however, her atten-
tion was suddenly distracted ..by the
approach of a woman. In her renew-
ed agitation, Joyce swallowed a whole
mouthful of smoke, which to' -her sur-
prise she found herself expelling thru
her nostrils and mouth without any,
sensation of strangeness. Automati-
cally her breathing apparatus was
performing a familiar operatieonl
Fortified to meet another, visitor,.
she rose to her feet and smiled greet-
ing at the newcomer.
"Well, my dear Frills, what a •for-

Her caller, who seated herself with-
out, waiting for an invitation, was a
woman
about forty years old with a
delicate skin still fine in texture. She
had large pale blue eyes, a straight
little nose, and a thin-lipped mouth
whose corners drooped with a petu-
lent, complaining expression. Her
feet were shod in beautifullyfitting

g- RATIONS FOR
sto, WORK HORSES
If a teamster is to get a profitable
return from the work of his horses,
anti to keep them in good condition
for their work, care must be taken
in preparing and feeding a suitable
(ration, Many mixtures and rates of
feeding have been tried and compare
ed at the Dominion Experimental
Farm, and it has been found that a
grain mixture of five parts of whole
oats and two parts bran, fed at the
rate of one pound per one hundred
cl poundsof live weight in the horse
h is a safe grain ration for horses at
• moderate wort,:. As 'fodder either
o clean : timothy or mixed timothy and
- clover should be fed, at a rate of
a1 about one pound per one hundred
pounds of Shue weight. During sea -
e sons of heavy l work the; proportion
g of bran relay safely be reduced to one
e half, and. the_ ration, increased to one
and one-quarter
pounds of the ,ilii -
e tore per one hundred pounds, of live
t weight.
The feeding : practice followed atm
- the Central Experimental Faris to.
feed three-eighths :of the day's grain
mixture and one-quarter of the day's
hay in the early morning.; and again
at tnid 'day. For the evening meal
the ration given is one-quarter of the
total grain mixture and one-half of
the day's hay:' When this plan is
followed the horses go to work com-
fortable and with little danger of ,di-
gestive trouble owing to distended
stomachs while at work. On days
that the horses are idle the grain ra-
tion : is reduced one-half, and bran
mashes are given. on Saturday night,
and; on nights pervious to occasional
idle days: '
In the feeding of .driving horses:
the same general precaution' may; be
safely followed, with the' exception
that the' hay shoud be fed more spar-
ingly.
In the •bulletin 'issued recently by
the Department of Agriculture at Ot-
tawa' the feeding, of roots is recom-
mended when other green feed can-
not be procured. While carrots are
perhaps most desirable, sugar beets,
turnips and mangels are relished . and
useful. From three to:six pounds of
roots ` per' day for horses at light
work and less quantities,' or none at
all, while heavy work is being per-
formed is recommended in the bull-
etin. Watering has been found to
be best done before feeding, with,.
if 'necessary, a moderate drink before
going to work. Copious drinking, if
the horse is over -heated' is a danger-
ous. practice, liable to cause perman-
ent
erman
en. t injury in foundering.
She picked up the letters again an
re -read the ,ones from, "Sophie" wit
a growing longing to see the baby
Fired by this feeling, she went int
the 'house to hunt. for Sophie's aI.
dress. ,.But there was iso Sophie i
the little pigskin book.
She had wenclered out ontd th
sunny sleeping porch still ponderin
Laurine's conversation, when . sh
heard the rattle ,w of a machine Bich
sounded like a Ford driving. into th
grounds. She ran downstairs, en
across- the terrace and around to the
garage. Yes, there was Sam just get
ting Clown from the machine,;and in
his arms was a little black and white
dog, "Here you are, Mrs. Packard
the Marches were glad to get a home
for. Dickie," and he set the wriggling
bunch down: on the ground, and
laughed as it strained at its.leash.
"Oh, thank you, Sam, he's a darl-
ing!" exclaimed Joyce, stooping to -
pat the chunky little square heacl.
Dickie wriggled` as Sam released
him from the leash and ; 'responded
amiably to her patting but after
moment he looked about ekcitedly,
dashing away from her a few feet, and
barking sharply, then returning
again. "What does hewant, do you
suppose, Sam?" asked Joyce, Mystif-
ied by his behavior:
"He's looking for .a stick," explain-
ed Sam, "That's what you want, isn't
it, Dickie?"
Sam picked up- a smooth round
piece of wood, showed it to Dickie
who 'jumped, frantically for it, and
1
then threw it as far as he could.
Dickie dashed after it tumultuously.
Then he came romping back to Sam,
who commanded, "Go take it to Mrs.
Packard, Dickie, that's your lady
now. Go .on, ,give it to Mrs. Pack-
ard."
Dickie, his wide pink -lipped mouth
clamped tightly over his precious
stick, rolled his expressive brown
eyes up at Sam in a speculative sort
of
way. • Then he turned and trotted
over to Joyce.
"There, that's enough stick for a
while. You're all out of breath. Come
with me, darling, and get acquainted
with your new home," said Joyce fin-
ally, "thank you, Sani, I'm ever so
grateful to you for getting me such a
perfectly sweet .dog • as' :Dickie."
There was a look of puzzled- sur-
prise in Sam's face as he answered,
"Oh, that's all right. I'm sure glad
you like him, Mrs. Packard."
When Joyce sat down in a com-
fortable lounge chair on the terrace,
Dickie came' to her side and, resting
his blunt chin with his queer, soft
drooping lips on the edge of it, look-
ed up at her pleadingly. She was de-
lighted that he adopted her so quick-
ly-, and her spirits rose when she
thought of having his companionship.
She felt less alone in an incredible
world. With Dickie she need' never
pretend. to be Frills Packard.
When Roxie came to find her and
announce that her luncheon was
ready, Joyce was amused to see the
distrust with which she eyed the
sleeping Dickie. She did. not • look
Surprised, and Joyce knew she had

Health, particularly mental health,
is dependent upon reasonable secur-

life, such as sickness and death. Lack
of economic security leads to worry,

piness and which is, in many cases,.
the basis of serious physical and.
mental disabilities. The campaign of

well as a financial significance.
The idea of mutual aid goes back:`
many centuries, and we' find nitmer-
aus' records in history of way in:
which people have united to help each:
1 I
other in time of need. It was real
ized that there was greater strength
and security in the group than in the
individual.
Our whole modern civilization of-
fers many examples of this principle
of mutual aid. We have any number
of organizations which include, am-
ong their objectives, the assistance of
members or other individuals who are
in need. This spirit of service may
be said to be the driving -force in all
worth -while organizations.
At the present time, the need for
mutual aid is more evident than ever.
In the field of public liealth, we see
that concerted action has secured a
large measure of health protection'
for those living in areas which have
joined together for that purpose. -'In
such areas, taxpayers agree to con-
tribute. through their : taxes, to the
maintenance of an adequate health
department, and so, individualy and
collectively, they secure health ser-
vice through mutual aid.
The maintenance of health depart-
ments is. a form of insurance. Insur-
ance is a form of mutual aid. A
group agree to make certain fixed
regular payments so that each'one of
them, individually,
may secure econ-
omic protection in the event of " cer-
tain happenings. Because of the un-
certainty of accidents, .sickness and
death, the only way in which most
people can make provision against
such .eventsis on the basis .of group
action or mutual aid.
Lack of security drives the work-
er too hard in his effort to be pre-
pared against such happenings. He
worries •because he feels insecure as
regards himself and his family, and,
from his overwork and his , worry,.
certain ills may spring. By sharing
theedangers which threaten him, that
is, by taking advantage of the mutual
aid idea of insurance, he ran, in large
measure, free 'himself of worry , and
not be such a, slave to work. Relax-
ation should not have_to wait for the
later years of life. The wholeof life'
should have time for a healthy mix-
ture of work and play. Too much of
neither is undesirable! it is the fair
mixture of both which" provides for
the healthiest and: happiest life.
