She looked anything but settled. the public eye, he still believed in a bathing, as pictures taken at Palm i Beach testified to interested mill- too self-conscious. But he would probably see nothing of her; he cared very little if he did or not. He would take an office, in a high tower, for a year or two, and enjoy himself. Then, well, then he could go out again, for good. John had been in the city all summer, going out to Greenbough for a week at a time, but always back again to his little office. He had no sign on his door, had no special business. He lived at the philosophy outmoded. The Rantoul divorce case was photographed and exploited during a semester of pub lic attention. The papers, in defense of Jose phine, her many poses supplying them with first-class circulation in terest, raked up the past of Gerrit Rantoul. He had no idea this would be done. Josephine, on the other hand, testified, under exam ination by her attorney, Maximilian Schweitzer, that her husband had always been true. Numerous corespondents were named by Rantoul. John Breen was named, in a long. ‘Gilbert would have liked to hear Engineers’ Club, was pointed out, at that.” Judge Kelly looked at her thoughtfully. “And so would John Breen. He’s Coming back to New York.” Josephine went to the piano, ran her fingers over the keys, her head thrown back, with a saucy toss. “Spring is coming to town,” she laughed. The new apartment at the Du Barry was cozy. “I hope he’s more civilized, nov/.” Judge Kelly looked out of the window. What a town it was! But a woman times, as the John Breen. It was in the fall that John Breen first met Josephine, quite by accident, as simple a meeting as life ever arranges for us after its most elaborate maneuvers. John was becoming more and more con cerned with the tenements the slums, if you will. He came upon Josephine in Rivington Street. A settlement near by had enlist ed her enthusiasm. “Well, John ” She held out her on Fifth Avenue. Judge Kelly had mentioned that John would be leav ing the Engineers’ Club at two. He passed Josephine on the Avenue, turned and walked with her for a few blocks. “I’m going in to do some shopping, dreadful nuisance, John, but just have to.” He left her entering a shop displaying things in silk. She looked even more beautiful than before. Noth ing whatever had been said except that she was back again in the old house. “It’s very comfortable, John. So much better than a flat.” And then one day John heard that Almon Strauss was back. “Almon Strauss.” John caught the name above a jumble of voices in one of those intermittent calms when - earnest face-to-face talkers pause almost as one. The long assembly room made free to every cult and clique that cared for the privilege, was the scene of a meeting and catholic discussion on the evils of the time. It seemed that The Lemma, a soc iety of eager intellectuals, was as sembled there for no other pur pose than to talk. Professor Aud rey Fessenden of the Bouge School was expected to speak on Trends! The room was crowded. Harboard pulled John by the arm into an alcove offering an exit tow ard the door while groups continu ally blocked the way. “For the love of Mike, Harboard, let us get some air.” John was fuming—the women put him out of tune; the snatches of this and that roiled and goaded him; the smoke and breaths were oppressive. (CONTINUED NEXT WEEK) X Gives Short Cut In Preparing Meal Housewives are looking for ways to reduce work in meal preparation. So Inez S. Willson, home eco nomist- of the National Live Stock and Meat Board, suggests a short cut which she finds valuable. She calls it a “two in one” so far as meal preparation is concerned. It is this: Roast a large enough piece of meat for two meals. It takes no more effort to roast a large piece of meat than a small one- then the second meal may be pre pared in a minute. The roast may be served cold or it may be reheat ed, in one of the many sauces that are delicious with meat, for ex ample: Horseradish Cream 3 tablespoons grated horse radish. 1 tablespoon flour. 1 tablespoon butter. 1-2 tablespoon sugar. Few drops onion juice. Paprika. 1-2 cup cream. 1-4 cup meat stock or water. Blend flour and butter but do not brown. Season with paprika, sugar and onion juice and add to the meat stock or water to thor oughly moisten. Cook slowly. Add the cream gradually, stirring to prevent lumping. When thicken ed add the horseradish and con tinue cooking about 5 minutes. Parsley Sauce 2 tablespoons butter. 2 tablespoons flour. 1 cup milk or broth. 1 tablespoon minced parsley. . 1-2 lemon. Salt and pepper. Melt the butter, to this add the flour, and cook for 2 or 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the liquid and cook until thickened. Sea son with salt and just before serv ing add the juice of 1-2 lemon and the parsley. jUTAPPY little girl, just bursting with pep, and she has never tasted a “tonic!” Every child’s stomach, liver, and bowels need stimulating at times, but give children something you know all about.

The fall season—ragweeds—damp weather—asthmatics know and dread its meaning for them. Hence this talk. Asthmatics can inhale; the trouble is in expelling the air from the lungs. A spasm of the small bronchioles prevents. That’s your way of telling if it’s real asthma. To stop the spasm is to relieve tempor arily. Anything that will stop the spasm. When a confirmed asthmatic consults me, I first make sure of the diagnosis. Some inhale “asthma powder.” It may relieve, but does not cure —but relief is worth something, even by smoking the spasm away. • Then I have the patient make a list of his regular foods; then I re quire him to abandon every item of it, and eat something else, even if he doesn’t like it. It is quite possible that he has been eating something that starts the spasmodic attack. Physicians call it “allergy,” that is, the re action of the individual to certain proteins. Others may eat it with no harm following. Antispasmodic agents—medicines—must be selected by your doctor. He no doubt, has something that has served him well, and his judg ment is infinitely better than yours. The use of opiates is taboo— don’t ask him for a shot of morphine with atropine. I have found a whiff of chloroform effectual in stopping the spasm,—but be sure that it is genuine, spasmodic asthma. Don’t guess. “Asthma” may come from heart, kidneys, or actual disease of the lung. That is not pure and simple asthma. Treat the cause always. Let your doctor determine. But try changing your diet; that is a safe plan always. And, watch for underlying causes of the trouble. Asthma is one of the most treacherous diseases, ferer from this dreadful complaint. I wish I could cure every suf-
