fet for a month's visit in. New
York. Lois meets her at the train
and on the way to the Carrttths'
Park Avenue penthouse warns her
to call her aunt Evelyn, not Aunt
Evelyn. Katha is interested of
course in Kemp Loring as Lois had
told her she'd better not look at
Kemp twice or Evelyn's daughter
Millicent would have her claws

CHAPTER. XIX
Richard looked immensely re-
Iieved as he greeted Lois and Ka-
tha. "Phe poor child has a broken
leg and a broken arm. But there
are no internal injuries." He let
out his breath and said. "Thank
Clod." Then. "Thisehas been a bad
day. You kids had batter get some
sleep. It's very late."
During the days that followed,
Kathy divided her time between
Kemp and visits to the hospital
with Lois to see, Patsy Floyd.
A tlistraugizt and highly nervous
Evelyn kept to her room. Eric
telephoned, wrote notes. sent flow-
ers. Everyone had been marvelous-
ly kind. But how to tell Richard
she wanted to be free -- how to
make the words be heard — that
her negligence had caused a child
to be hurt and to suffer tormented
her. But oven" and over she said
to herself, "This is my life. I want
to live it. I mustn't get old."
Lois and Katha went to her room
one morning. Lois said, "They're
taking Patsy home today, Mother."
Evelyn looked at her wearily. "I
suppose I should go to see bee —
although I don't know why. Rich-
ard has done everything. Her
mother will probably insult me
again."
"She won't," Lois said, smiling.
"She's happy."
Visit to the Floyds
The next day Lois and Ketha
went with her to the narrow, ugly
street where the Floyds lived.
When the sleek black car stopped
before the hone", dirty little elite
dren with bright, oyes and red
cheeks jumped on the running -
board and peered through the win-
dmvr.
'Tell thein to go away," Evelyn
said sharply. :,They make me nerv-
ous—staring. . ."
The Floyds lived in two small
rooms on the third floor. The stairs
treaked as Katha and I.nis and
Evelyn walked up. It was Teethe
who knocked.
• Blonde Iittle Dorothy Finyd op-
ened the door end smiled at them.
The rooms were poorly furnished
Int tidy. Patsy lay on a day -bed
surrounded by new toys a:td bunks.
Covered by a groen blanket, only
her round little face teed yellow
pig -tails were visible.
She grinned. "Hello. Nene —
Lois." But her blonde brows clime
together in a deep frown when she
saw Evelyn. "You --you go away!
You're bad! Yon. .:'
Evelyn thought, "I can't: bear
this! I can't bear for a child to
hate me. Why must I be torment-
ed like this?"
Dorothy went to Patty. "You
mustn't talk like that darling. Mr.
and Mrs. Carruth have been very
good to us. Didn't Mr. Carruth
bring you all the toys and books?"
She grinned again. "Yes, and he
said he was going to got the n many,
too."
"Everything's Set"
There were footsteps on the
creaking stairs. the door opened,
and lanky Bob Floyd came in, He
smiled at his guests, kissed his wife
and Patsy, and pulled Patsy's pig-
tails gently.
To Evelyn Ile :: ,; leeef°1•e just been
l; e our husband. Everything is
set."
"Is it?" Dorothy cried. "Oh, I'm
so glad."
"Set?" Evelyn asked.
"ror us to go to your place in
Maryland." He looked at his wife,
"I found out about the house. It's
white and la's just boon painted.
There's a big yard for Patsy 'to play
in and there's a school bus that
picks up the vhilclren." He smiled.
"Gee, it's lucky for us we were
both raised on a farm."
There were tears in Dorothy's
eyes, -".Ne Inee paYeUereile and ter-
image• beet. le Plenlelee, and 1eiribla
hold In winter. No more looking for
work; Bob. And Patsy will get
fresh air and sunshine and the right
rood." Slue looked at Evelyn. "Oh,
bow Oen we thank yon enough! Pat-
ry.bad to ."gett-btlrt so that we could
live again. You don't know how
bad it's been With us.»
Evelyn asked, "You want to go
down there? You --you really want
to ",
"Want to?" Dorothy Floyd laugh-
ed. 'Why, it's heaven! When do
we start?" Then. seriously,- "Mr.
Cerruti' talked a long while to us
one night. He told us how it was
with you and him when you were
first remarried. Your girl was little
then, too. He said you didn't have
an easy time but that he couldn't
have stuck it out if it hadn't been
for you. He said you were wonder-
ful."
A Haven of Rest
Evelyn felt very tired. Tired and
—old. Why, it had been more than
twenty years •since she and Rich-
ard had struggled so hard and
Millicent had been a little girl with
golden curls. She had almost for-
gotten those days. That was a long
time—more than twenty years ago.
Lois had not been born, Kathie
was a baby, and Dorothy and Bob
Floyd were mere children. And she
was a woman then with a child,—
She
hild. , - ,
She thought, "I am gelling old.
That's why l'mn so tired and irrit-
able. If I could just rest for a long
time - . , If people would just let
me alone . .. If I eot:ld have some
peace in my mind:..."
Peace. Suddenly she thought of
file Maryland farm not as a prison
but a haven. Acres and acres of
land yielding wheat and corn and
tobacco.... and the big, brick col-
oniaT house . . older than any-
one knew. Down there the days
were long and unhurried. No ap-
pointments with the dressmaker or
the hairdresser. No parties that
lasted until dawn. No guest lists to
look ever, fearing she had forgotten
to include an imrortant name and
included an insignificant one. No
strain on her poor, overstrained
nerves, no noise. No lies, no plots,
no scheme to see Eric. She was
so desperately tired of lying . .
And she could eat what slme wished
and as much as she wished. She
was nearly always hungry.
She saw her reflection in tite
small, cracked mirror and thought,
"Why, I don't look like that!" The
mirrors in her lovely room flattered
lzer. The lights were soft there,
But here she saw herself in the
cruel daylight glare and site look-
ed—ghastly! Iler face was white
and pinched, her cheeks hollow;
there were lines around her mouth
and eyes. She was frightened. "I
look like this—to other people? To
—to ..Erie? Why, ..Learzam t look •e
fully old td grog." Eric was so
straight and tall and young.. , ,
She bit hack tears of self-pity,
thinking, "Oil, I don't care, really,
how I look! I'm so tired and worn
out and sick of everything—so torn
inside. I want peace."
Dorothy, young and pretty, want-
ed to go to the farm in. Maryland.
And Dorothy had never known any-
thing but poverty. She, Evelyn,
had had everything ---wealth, beau-
tiful clothes, jewels, travel. And
love—Richard's love. She thought,
"Silo. everybody must be talking
about Eric and me. They ran see
I'm years older Ilion he. But I'm
not old to Richard. I'll never be.
'Why. Erie must be embarrassed—
I'm a fool! I'nm a middle-aged wom-
an with a daughter of twenty
three!"
A Grandmother, Perhaps
She realized now that Katha was
talking to Patsy, and Lois to Dor-
othy and Bob, and that slie had not
said anything for a long time. Fun-
ny—sitting here in this shabby
flat she had come to the sharp re-
alization that it wasn't Erir., she
wanted most of all. Divorce Rich-
ard, estrange herself from Millic-
ent and Lois. go off to Europe with
Eric, entertain and be entertained,
and look beautiful always for a
young man—and cringe with jeal-
ousy when he looked at young
girls? The pace, the strain, the
wear and tear on her.... It wasn't
worth it!! Why hadn't this occurred
to her before? And money. .
Sime Was helpless without Richard's
money. And it was that money
that Eric wanted more than he
wanted her. She thought, "I — I
never thought of it before became
I never had time to �teelel•;'abont it
before. Theirs eneteirways so much
to c .s,(;•"•many places to go, people
to see.... I never haul limo!"
She looked at Patsy, who was•
chattering to Eaten, and thought,
"The day of the accident I forgot
Eric completely. I know wliy 1101x.
That day I was a woman who had
had a little, girl once. That day I
was a. mother."
Finally she said wearily, "I think
we'd better be going. Patsy should
take a. nap, don't you think?" Ris-
ing slowly, she went to Patsy and
looked down at her,
Patsy dimpled. "1 ttou't think
you're bad any more, 'I'm sorry.

Evelyn said, "Yes," and smiled
faintly. She thought. "I ant old
enough to he 'Patsy's grandmother."
Grandmother, , , But she dideet
wince at the thought, .and the ion
er she looked at Patsy the more she
approved of the idea of being a

At the door Dorothy andsBob

Evelyn said, "Give Mr. Carruth
your thanks --your gratitude. I don't
deserve them. But I do hope you
will be very happy down there."
Outside she said to.Eatha and
Lois, "You go back In the ear. I'll
get a taxi,"
When she left, Lois, "She is go-
ing to Eric."
But Evelyn went to Richard's of

When he looked over his' large
desk and saw her, he laughed,
"Well, what a pleasant surprise!" •
"I've just been to see Patsy -and

"Those kids need a break' and I
needed people who would take an:

A Mind Made Up
When she began to cry and cove
eyed her face with her hands, he
went to her and put his arms
around her.
"Darling, you're upset," Richard
said soothingly. "Tho accident was
a terrible shock to you. Little girls
have always been a weakness of
yours." •
"No, it's not that . . . it's

the word thrilled her and comfort-
ed her, To Imim she was and would

had bought him things, had tried

Richard said, giving her his hand -

OFFSETTING WINTER'S
RAVAGES;
Winter can play havoc with our
looks, and an ounce of precaution
is better than suffering a red nose,
blue lips and coarse, chapped
hands!
Many winter worries are due to
a poor circulation. If you suffer
from this complaint, get down to a
daily routine of exercise. After
your bath, sprinkle eau -de -Cologne
on your hands and rub yourself
down vigorously.
Here is a special morning "bath"
which will give you a good send-off
for the day. Stand in a foot or so
of hot water and give yourself a
quick sponge -down with water as
hot as you can stand it. Next, still
standing in the hot Haler, rub
yourself down with a cold sponge.
It takes some courage, but is well
worth it! Scrub yourself with a
turkish towel, then finish off with
a rough linen towel.
Hands are a sore point in cold
weather. Wash them in lukewarm
water; never hot nor cold. If your
hands roughen easily, add a few
drops of glycerine to the water. To
avoid chapping, rub vaseline over
them before going out, and if they
are already chapped, instead of
washing the hands with soap, use

Types Of Fatness
nd Their Causes
When Glands Function Below
Normal -- Non -Balance Be-
tween Food intake and Boby
Utilization.
There are several kinds of
obesity, etch associated with a
particular cause. The type can be
determined by observation of how
the fat is distributed on the body.
There are three types caused by
dysfunction of the endocrine gland
and in each case the glands are
functioning below the normal
Ievel. When the cause is in the
pituiti,ry gland there are heavy
deposits of fat around the
shoulders and pelvic girdles, the
upper arms and legs will be heavily
padded but the wrists and ankles
will retain their trim outline.
When the thyroid is at fault the
fat is uniformly distributed all
over the body, the wrists and
.ankles becoming thick. In hypo -
gonad `obesity the fat is concen-
trated fromn the waist .iso, -the
knees, the ankles and tlie upper
part of the body retaining their
slimness.
Gland Extracts Diet Control
Dr. A. A. Werner and Dr., D. C.
Weir, of the St. Louis University
School of-itledicine, report in
"The Journal of the Missouri
Medical Association" on the treat-
ment of seventy-six obese women
in the Endocrine Clinic of the St.
Louis City Hospital, in which
2,333 pounds of fat were removed
in four and half months by
treatment with gland extracts and
diet control. The causes of
obesity were divided into two
phases: food intake and body utili-
zation.
