But now, rushing through the cold night air, she was more criti- cal of her action, "How far are we from London, Jack?" she asked. "Oh, about forty miles, dear," Mer- rington answered with a laugh.

"Don't you think you had better stop the night there?" said Ruth, after a pause. '"I will go on to Felice - 4425. Foulard is here portrayed with girdle and bindings of satin in a contrasting color.

It a was learned some years rs ago by the examination of several thousand school, children in `one of "our large cities that 66 per cent. of them had de- fective vision of such a degree as to warrant the wearing of glasses. Quite recently the examination of more than ten thousand employees in factories and commercial houses show- ed that 53 per cent. had uncorrected faulty vision, 18 per cent. had defects which were corrected, making 60'per cent, with defective eyes. These two surveys were made under different auspices several years apart. The figures are startling.
