SINGER SEWING MACHINES Needles and Repairs A. ,� Walker ra�rniture and Underrtaking 0 ,SYNOPSIS Joyce Ashton, poor stenographer, suffered a loss of memory in a skid- ding taxicab cab. accident in Chicago. One morning two years later she' woke, after a fall' from her horse, her memory restored, to find herself as Frills, the wife of Neil Packard, rich California fruit packer. She de- termined to tell nobody : of her pre- dicament but' set about learning what she could of her life in the interval. From the conversation of . her friends and letters in'her desk she gathered that she had been a heartless, pleas- ure -loving young woman. One let- ter that troubled her was from a wo- man signing herself Sophie, blaming. Frills for not giving a home to a baby Sophie ' was caring for. Could it be her baby, Frills wondered:! She also found herself involved in an af- fair with a man named Maitland. In San Francisco, where she went while her husband was away on business, she met Robert Ainsworth, a poet whose work she had always admired. When Joyce returned home, she.de- cided' to be pleasanter to Neil than Frills had been. But this line was dangerous, too, for Neil was pathet- ically anxious to win back Frills' love NOW GO ON WITH THE' STORY At last they were all gone, and Packard, closing the front door, came back to the living room and began to put out the lights., He yawned widely. "Gee, I'm sleepy. Got to be dressing table where she sat down and lighted another cigarette, If he would only go to his own rooms and let her alone! But Pack- ard lingered taking off his tie and unbuttoning his shirt while he talked, Neil was now taking off his shirt, ancl Joyce, catching sight in her mir- ror of the white top of his sleeveless underwear felt a wave of •color burn her ,face and she sat rooted to the spot. To her great relief, however, he went off to finish his undressing else- where and , she jumped up and hur- ried to t1,e closet. Just as she had stripped her last garment off and was readhing for a kimono she heard'him again in the bathroom. She'had left the door of thee closet just a. trifle ajar so that she could keep track of his ;move- ments and the bathroom door stood' wide open. "Shall I run a hot bath for you?" called Packard; "or are you going to take a shower?" Joyce hastily called out, "No tub, thanks. I'll take a` shower when you get through." "You needn't wait. I'm not using the shower," he called back cheer- fully. heer fully. "I •want a real soak after be- ing on the,•train two nights l" She sat huddled on, a chair in the closet and listened tensely to the process of his bath. He splashed and whistled artd to poor Joyce it seemed as if he would never finish. Suddenly the whistle stopped ab- ruptly' and she heard him ejaculate, "Damn! There goes the soap!" Then f�) ' Oh, sweetheart, won't you love me a little?" he whispered. up early tomorrow, too. Going' to bed now, Frills?" he asked, pausing withehis hand at the last Iight. "Yes, °I am," replied Joyce. She couldn't get the words out which she meant to say casually. Turning, she went upstairs, closely followed by Packard, who switched on the: bed- room light for her. "I sure have missed that sleeping porch. Seems'as if I never had any real air in those hotel rooms." re- marked Packard when they were in the bedroom.' "Once you get used to sleeping out. anything else seems stuffy." This hardly seemed an appropriate time to announce that she had decid- ed to sleep in the house hereafter and Joyce, in an agony of embarrassment. and indecision wandered over to her' A. R. & F. E.

I dropped it out and it skidded way over into the bed- room!" Joyce was petrified by this simple request.' .She was so startled that she even failed to take refuge in what had been her salvation in other awk- ward moments, the conveniently tem- peramental disposition of . Frills. "Well, wait a minuate, II'll ..•. I'll get it," she returned, and holding her silk Coolie coat tightly about her she Demerged from the closet, found the cake of soap innocently lying on the Blue carpet, picked it 'up, and enter- ing ntering the bathroom, hastily thrust it in- to Packard's wet outstretched hated.

Presently she heard him rubbing himself vigorously and a few minutes later e he appeared. 1d PA in the bed -room in blue pajamas and slippers, his hair sticking up in damp rumpled confus- ion. How funny a man looked ith- w cut a collar, she thought, and the pa- jamas seemed to loose and baggy - Lowering her eyes .she went past hint into the bathroom. She shut the door after her and very quietly and care- fully turned the little catch that lock- ed °it. When she opened the door again she found the bedroom empty,but from the porch Packard implored .her - "Say, Frills, bring nee a glass of wa- ter, like an angel, will you?" Joyce wanted.to retort crossly but her naturally obliging. disposition au- tomatically asserted itself and getting the water she went to the sleeping s n g porch which lay in the shadow. The moon made it' light enough, however, to, see Packard's face vaguely. He sat up in bed. and took the glass which she handed him. As he did so she said hastily, "Good night! I'm ... I'm going to sleep inside for a while." She turned away as she 1 spoke, but she scarcely finishedthe'r sentence before Padkard put down the glass and, jumped .out of bed. He h stopped her at the door and drew n her into his arms, not roughly, but 1 with a gently firm movement which she could not evade. b "Oh, say, sweetheart,' 'he protest- 'h ed,!

"I wonder if he'd get too tired to go along with rne if I go out to ride on Rosita. What do you think?" ask- ed Joyce as she began her breakfast. "Well, I wouldn't take him if you're going more than a short ride. I doubt if he's used to long runs," "By the way, I heard that Malt has a new horse," remarked Packard toward. the end of the meal: "What sort of a cayuse is it? Did he get it from MacBready?," Joyce's heart thumped. Now was her chance, and she `determined to, take it. She spoke casually, though the knowledge she was changing col- or disconcerted her •, slightly. "I'm sure I don't know," she replied, "I. haven't seen Malt for nearly, two weeks." When she. raised her eyes from her Y plate she encountered a i9ok on Packard's face which filled her with sudden anger. It had always infuri- ated Joyce to realize that her word was doubted. Suddenly her pleasure in the day was spoiled. A hurt feeling of re- sentment against him for ruining her happy mood seized her. She forgot his side of the affair and the things which Frills had done to snake this reaction so natural, She said nothing until they had eft the table and, were in the' living oom. ,Then suddenly she faced him and •with flaming:, face said, "Look ere,, I want you to know that I was of lying just now when I_ said I iadn't seen Mait for two weeks." Packard stared at her 'He looked ewildered. An expression of eager opefulness dawned in his face, but t was the cautious hope of one who as been hurt and disappointed too many times. After fully'five minutes' silence Packard said dully, "God knows I want to believe you, Frills, but after ... that New Year's thing .: ." He hesitated as if he were ,referring to some painful incident he could' scar- cely bear to mention. Joyce was quivering' all over. It' seemed to her -that nothing was more important than' to make him believe her. She groped desperately for the right words to convince him. "But I'm telling the truth," she insisted, "you can ask Clarice . . -;or. ask Mait himself if you won't believe you, dear." Packard bent his head quickly and kissed her eagerly, not once but sev- eral times, then drew' her clbser still and kissed the hollow of her neck several times. "Oh, sweetheart, won't you love me a little?" he. whispered, his 'cheek laid against hers. "Won't you love me? Somehow to -night you were so sweet, going out with me alone that way and I got to hoping you might -Oh, Frills, what can I do to make you come back to me?" "Oh, let's not talk tonight," she exclaimed impatiently, "I'm dead tir- ed, I tell .you." To her relief he did not'folidw her, but she heard his deep sigh as she went on into the other room and shut the door, her knees trembling a little. Once in bed with the door locked, she lay and thought over what had happened. This victory was hers, but she did not feel quite the satis- faction in it that she had felt in cir- cumventing Maitland. Waking the next morning at her. usual hour of seven o'clock she heard Packard whistling as he dressed and she . debated whether to get up and have breakfast with him or to let him go away without seeing her. She got out of bed and listened. It was so quiet that she concluded. Neil had gone downstairs. She had just taken a dress from a hanger and had come out to put it on in front of the long mirror when she was start- led by, Packard appearing. "Good mdrning, wife!" he exclaimed, "how's the 'world. "Oh! . . Good morning," she re- sponded, hastily pulling the dress on and watching him apprehensively in the mirror as he fastened his collar and tie. to as "I wish he'd hurry," she , fumed be with a sigh of relief that that awk- ward moment was over, though her in heart still thumped violently, "I'm ed tired. If that' shower didn't have a "G bi Sh "Gee, this• is great. Are you going eat breakfast this morning?" he ked, leaning against the foot of the d. "We'll give Roxie a surprise, eat- g breakfast together," she remark- as they entered the dining room, nod morning, Roxie, `where's my essed Dickie?" "Out with Sani," responded Roxie. e too smiled, but there :was a puz- glass door I'd go and take a bath now. I simply can't do it, though," She sat down again and listened an - me." Neil still looked as if he dared not believe and Joyce, exasperated at his obviously' unconvinced manner, ex- claimed, "Perhaps I . was mistaken, perhaps you you don't really care what I do—" But at this Packard suddenly woke up. His face . went, white underthe and taking a step forward he : gripped her shoulders with his hands and said, with an intensity of restrained voice that frightened.; her, "By God, Frills, I' won't stand for that! When have you ever cared what I thought?When have you ever done anything but gibe me the most 'careless sort of res- ponse? You've lied to me before. Yo.i know it and'I know it. How can 1. help. doubting you? I've done every- thing I could to make you happy. I've given you every bit of freedom and fun I could just so you might have. a good time. I've protected you more than you knew against open, scandal. I've stood so` damn' much from you that I sometimes wonder what kind of a weak tool I am. But I can't help loving you in spite of it all. I've stood forthis business with Maitland . I've stood for all sorts of things —for your sake, and partly for my mother's. And when . when you've been a little nice to me, what has it ever meant? Some' devilish scheme of you! to put something over on me. I don't know what your game is now, but even you can't tell me I. don't really care what you do." Joyce, listening fascinated to this • Thwrsday, �V ay 25th,. � 33 explosion, recalled the words in "Jerry's' letter: ". , Just remember t that a span like Neil won't stand pushing too far.". , (Continued Next Week.)

She stopped ' her car at Young's gas pump a And� said "Fillthe tank. up But Jim says "Letme see some cash" Says she "It's in the bank." Her next call was at Billy Cole's, For cigarettes she asked, And tried to beat him down in price, But could not do the task. She seemed to have her. nerve with her And, not a bit afraid, She gaily tripped across the street To call, on Clarence Wade, The clerk in there was rather cool And seented to put' a damper On her attempts to purchase goods And Clarence said "Now, scamper" So out she went into the street, The darling started crying, And askedto get a ride to Blyth From handsome Alex. Bryan. But Alex., taken by surprise, Dared not to make a show; But politely put his hand up And answered "No, no, no.." The people in the town were scared , And Tommy hustled home To 'help• his wife to hold the fort In - case the maid should come. But things got quieted at last' She started south from town To tell some fortunes down at Blyth And thereby win renown. She stopped at farmer Gordon's place And had a pleasant call, And asked if Gordon's pretty wife Agway wore blue overalls. This was a question out of range, The answer was quite short, She said good-bye and travelled on Till she reached Blyth, her port. She came back home about twelve o'clock And went up to the dance, Oh, you. should have seen the boys smile, - She ?had dances spoken for in ad- vance. ` And some young " men they danced with her, •While others they kept talking, And one young man showed his wil- lingness To go with her ` a -walking.

This change begins in the mouth, where the food is' mixed with saliva, and the process of digestion starts. with certain changes in the starchy- foods.

In addition, the saliva keeps - the mouth clean and lubricates the parts, A dry mouth is uncomfortable ,. and interferes with speech. ' Passing down the gullet, the food reaches the stomach. The stomach also waters at the sight and smell of food,. and as a result of the taste' of food in the mouth. Gastric juice is therefore ready in the stomach to continue the' process of digestion.
