And tell Marcia to have anything at all, it doesn't matter what —just so that I don't have to decide myself." She went out immediately into the garden and made her way around the dining -room wing of the house in the direction of the garage, sniffing de- lightedly at the exotic fragrance of the orange blossoms. She was aroused to notice a head dodge back behind the yellow cur- tains as she passed the kitchen. "I just know they're wondering what can have 'happened to. Frills," she thoughts,. smiling. "Well, they'll have to keep right on wondering. I hope at least that they won't find the change too unpleasant. Now, let's see—Oh, there's somebody!

"Sure, I'll bring her out," and Sam disappeared into the stable where she heard him speaking in low clucking tones with a soothing note in his voice. Sam was a nice young man, but she fancied he had looked a little disappointed at the quiet -way she re- ceived •the news of losing Fire Queen. Sam came out leading a daintily - stepping chesnut mare, with a white star on her mild forehead. She muz- zled against Sam's shoulder with her soft nose, while he explained to Joyce, "Rosita's always been a pet at MacBready's and she used to being made much over, aren't you, baby?" He stroked her findly; pushing her off when she plafully nipped his sleeve, "Here, get out, girl, pick on some one your own size.• Isn't she a beauty? Look at her lines, she has- n't got a fault anywhere." "She is a beauty," agreed Joyce, enthusiasm, coming closer and pat- ting the horse's neck timidly, "She looks as gentle as can be" went on Joyce, wondering whether Frills wouldn't have been disgusted with, "Nothing -e- except that it's all wrong," retorted Joce, continuing to msile.

"Well, I don't know exactly what I do want," said Joyce uncomfortably, wishing she had given the matter more thought . before getting into it this way. "Why don't you go to Allen Ken- nels and pick out something you like?" suggested Sam after a moment. "Oh, I don't want to be bothered," she replied, hoping this would sound enough like the .capricious Frills to pass. "Can't you get me one some- where around here, so I can have it today?" "Well, I know a dog I think I' could get you," exclaimed Sam sud- denly, "it's th cutest little white and reit that you are probably not the black Boston bull you ever saw, about most suitable person to bring up a two years old and smart as a whip. child, still I cannot understand how Belongs to people named March. you can possibly feel that the sort of They're going to China and don't pleasures which fill your life are more important, more satisfying, than the care and bringing up of this dear it- tie baby.

Spellbound, Joyce read this letter, which flowed along without, a single. paragraph to break its smooth stilted sentences. The significance of its contents came as such an unexpected blow that she felt weakand shaken. "A baby! It can't be true! . . I never even heard of that . Could Frills have had a baby in that time?

COMPANIES �JL_�` `✓. IN CANADA BATHS The bath -tub as we know it, is a comparatively modern invention, but the ancient Greeks and Romans were quite familiar with baths. In those days, -there were public and private baths which were important social centres. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, recommended . the use of cold baths. A clean skin is desirable. A dirty skim is apt to be offensive to others. Cleanliness of the skin enables it to function better, and so contributes- to the well-being of the body of which it is the outer covering. The application of cold to any part lessens the circulation in that part, but after the effects of the cold have worn off, there is a rush of blood back into that part. The shock of cold water causes rapid, irregular breathing for 'a short time, and in- creases the force of the heart beat. Obviously, cold baths are not suited to the very young, the very old, or those with hardened arteries The young and, healthy individual who finds that he reacts wells to the brisk rub after a cold bath may en- joy this form of bathing. There is no reason to think that cold baths make for health and resistance to. disease. The cold bath should be avoided by those who do not react well to it and by those who suffer from any physical disorders. If the temperature of the bath is practically the same as the temper- ature of the body, very little effect is produced on'the body. Raising the temperature of the water causes the blood -vessels to dilate, the blood pressure falls, the heart beats with greater rapidity, and the breathing becomes more frequent, It appears' that, for the majority of persons, a bath slightly warmer than the temperature of the body is the most desirable. Such a bath does not throw any strain upon weakened or- gans, or disturb the smooth running of the body. The application of cold or heat sin one form_ or another' to the whole or to a part of the body is a recognized and valuable form of treatment, The long -continued bath at body temper- ature is used to overcome the rest- lessness and excitability of those who arc suffering from' certain mental dis- eases. The hot bath increase perspiration and so produces a temporary loss of weight. There is nothing which can be added to baths which will bring about a real reduction in weight. Weight lost from the hot bath is re- gained as soon as fluids are taken. That the use of baths is desirable from a standpoint 'of health, cleanli- ness -and social relations is a reason- able conclusion.
