Ami his tenderness toward her? Hi
hand over hers, sitting there in th
twilight? What was that, then?
Deborah got up and went into he
bedroom. She stood before her mirror
and Jr'ted iter eyes to the girl in th.
glass. The faded gingham dress, thj
braided hair . . . she looked liki
some forlorn little orphan youngste
who needed someone to love her. I?ryi
was kind, lie was sorry for her. Tin
feeling he had for her was . . . pity
She pressed her lips together firmly
to stop their trembling. She went int<
her bathroom and bathed her eyes ii
cold water.
Aral, just at that moment, she heart
the sound of Joe's horn, far down tin
mountain. Three long blasts and tw<
short ones ... a pause . . . threi
long notes and two short ones. Deb
orah's heart sprang up Into her throat
She tore open her door and race*
down the stairs to Grandmother am
Madeline, out on the veranda. At the
foot of the stairs she caught the sounc
of Madeline's voice, going steadily or
with "Shadows on the Rock." Peboral
stopped at the sound of that caln
voice, and hop?.!f Thon
tip, she walked out serenely and smile,
at Grandmother. She dropped dowr
on the step, and sat there, waiting.
A low humming sound made itsel1
felt on the air. It rose to a whine . .
the shining top of a motor car ap
peared sliding along outside the wall
It slowed abruptly, and swung In to
ward the gates. Gary started dowr
the drive.
"It looks as H we had guests.'
Grandmother said, interrupting Made
line. "I wonder who it can he?"
"It's probably another plumber,'
Madeline said languidly.
Gary had reached the gates. II*
opened them, and passed through. Hill
then, after a moment's colloquy witl
the driver of the car, whom Dcboral
could not see, he came back to tlu
gates again, and swung them wide
and the long blue car jolted a litth
ami came on through. Deborah put *
slow hand to her throat.
Hut it was not Stuart Graham driving;
it was a woman ... a girl . . .
In a bright red silk beret, and a ret
jacket. Gary plodded along behfnthe
ear. after he had shut the gate?
and locked them. The car came slowlj
up the drive, and stopped opposite tlu
end of tlie veranda. The girl got out

and Deborah knew her. She was ta!
and very slim, with a long oval fac
and a very red mouth. Her eyes wer
black, and sleepy, like a cat's, with slo\
black lashes drooping over thein. Del
orah rose, and found Madeline at he
Side. They went down the steps.
"It's Pilar," Madeline said under he
breath, and Deborah nodded.
"Ah, Madeline!" Pilar said, in
voice that made a tune. She move
forward, and let her hand rest lightl
on Madeline's elbow, holding her, a
she looked down at Deborah. "An
this," she went on caressingly, "tbi
will be little Deborah. My child, yo
are adorable."
"Thank you," Deborah said sweetl;
and put out her hand In welcome. '
am so glad you have come. I am sui
you must be Pilar. 1 have heard t
much about you."
Pilar looked a little starred, bi
she lost not a whit of her poise. St
looked at Madeline. "And aren't yc
glau to see me, too, Madeline?"
"Oh, rather," Madeline said cool!,

and turned back toward the verandi
"We must take you to Grandinotli
er." Deborah explained, as Pilar's eye
] lifted to the delicate old face turuei
toward her.
"Lovely," Pilar said. In an audibl
r whisper. "Oil, lovely."
"Grandmother." Deborah murmured
"this is Miss D'Avillo. She is anothe
'* friend of Sally's and Madeline's."
"I'm so happy to welcome you. m;
r dear," Grandmother said warmly. "W<
1 are having such a pleasant time an<
I am very glad you have come to joh
us."
"Oh, thank you." Pilar murmured
' and held Grandmother's hand quite un
i necessarily long. She straightened.
Simon and Tubby and Bryn, all si
1 lent, came around the end of the ver
anda. Bryn's face, as he glanced a
> Deborah, was very queer and stiff
Tubby was white. Simon looked de
tnched. as usual, but his eyes went a
once to Pilar. And she stood there
I for a moment, beside Grandmother, be
i side Deborah. She put her hand light
!y on Deborah's shoulder, before sh<
I moved, and Bryn looked at them to
i gether. so, Pilar beautiful and soplds
i ticated and perfect down to the las
i gleaming finger-nail shining In the sun
i Deborah small and insignificant in hei

i Pilar smiled. She went forward am
held out both hands. "My dear Bryn,'
r she said affectionately. "But how wel
you look, and how happy! Allow nn
to congratulate you; ! think she 1:
the loveliest thing I have ever seen."
Grandmother looked up swiftly a
i Deborah; and Deborah, calm now, wit!
something cold and frozen where liei
heart had begun some short time ag'
- to ache, smiled gently and contentedly
back.

The rain, which had threatened fm
twenty-four hours, came at last 01
f Tuesday night. Dehorah lay awakt
and listened to the soft steady fall 01
i the balcony floor outside her bedroon
window. She found herself wishlnt
: ardently tnat It might rain hard an.
% long, so that the road might be tin
i passable to Smart lira ham, so tlia
nothing further should break in upoi
the peace and loveliness of the sum
nier days. 1 tut that was a useless
1 wish, she knew. Tiie peace and love
1 liness were already gone.
5 Pilar was very beautiful, but tin
most troubling tiling about her was th<
so obvious fact that she belonged t<
j Kryn's world. Ids real world, that sh<
was part of his own life and always
had been, and not just a chance passer
by whose path had happened to mee
his and for a time followed along closi
beside it. Madeline and Sally and SI
mon and Tubby were out of Rryn's life
too, but somehow before Pilar came
Deborah hadn't realized what a dif
ferent life it was from her own, hov
far away and impossible. Pilar wa
very kind, and she did her best to drav
Deborah into the conversations, and al

c
i familiar or strange to Deborah, in a [
i- way that Sally and Madeline never ^
s had thought of doing. But IMIar'g very g
J kindness and thought fulness seemed to
emphasize Deborah's unfnmlliarity
e with the world, Bryn's world, and its
customs.
I. All the time she had felt lost and
r forlorn and alone, because this was
Bryn's world and Bryn's life, a modi
ern sophisticated pageant in which she
i? had no part; and because it made her
1 see how drab and dull and uninteresti
ing her own life of cucumber frames
and brook trout and made-over clothes
, must be to him.
And all his talk about knitting, ffnd |
winter evenings by the hearth, and the
kittens he would get for her ... all j
- his interest in that simple sort of thing ! ?
t was pretended for her sake. Bryn was ;
; a gentleman, and he lived up to his f
bargains to the last pencil stroke. Not ^
t by word or suggestion would lie let her t
. discover bow bored and dull he was ^
going to And the rest of his year here ?
on the mountain, nor with what di3i- ! }
? culty he was going to earn the money c
- she would pay him.
Deborah slept very little that night. c
r Life, that only yesterday had seemed s
so beautiful and serene, was hecom- 1
r Ing complicated and unhappy. There i
didn't seem to be anything ahead but (
1 more difficulties and a lonely unhappy f
time. Because Bryn would go back (
1 to Pilar when the year was up, ai^l $
* when he did, there wouldn't he any- j ?
s body at all. Nobody could ever be like <
Bryn, even if he were only pretending, c
t But there would have to be a way to c
i make him stop pretending, Dehorah i
t knew, because If he went on like this, c
1 even though the look in his eyes was 1
r only the tenderness one feels for a \
child, or a lost puppy, she wasn't going
to he able to bear it when at the <
r end of the year he drove out of the (
i big gates to leave her forever. t
The morning was cold and grey, nl- s
i though the rain bad stopped at dawn. ^
i Deborah bad them lay a fire in the <
' small sitting room downstairs, so thftt c
1 Grandmother might not feel a chill. j
There, when breakfast was over. Pilar
i and Madeline and Sally and Grand- 1
i mother and herself were sitting. The ?
three men were outside. *
5 Pilar, in a beautiful dress of some ^
very fine woollen material in a dark j
crimson color, sat beside the doorway .
i with her foot out on a low stool and i
i a long cigarette holder between her
> fingers. She could ?ee up into the j
e orchard, too, and Deborah noticed that \
s her eyes went to Bryn frequently, al- j
though she gave no sign. Grandmother
t was in a low chair beside the fire, lis- j .
? toning to Pilar with the same fasci- ! j
nated interest she had shown last j i
>. night, watching her, taking In every |
, perfect detail of her grooming. j
"I hope you don't mind my coming
v here uninvited like this, Mrs. Larned."
s she was saying in her low voice. "I
v found myself completely deserted and j
!- lonely and I couldn't stand it any '
- longer."

Romans Used "X" Chairs
3 The simple construction of
n chairs is of great antiquity and their
use was known in Europe at a very
early date. They somewhat resemble
* an X if you give your imagination free ]
e rein and gracefully curve this letter
of the alphabet and place it on its
k side. It is reputed that Henry VIII
introduced this type of chair Into his j
Palace of Nonesuch when he brought
n over continental craftsmen. Some of
r. these chairs were essentially Italian in
e design, but were undoubtedly made in
England, possibly under the direction
il of Italian craftsmen. A large variety
of "X" chairs belong to the Tudor pels
riod though they show evidence of '
lt strong foreign influence. 1

Ttllc, About ^
Underweight Children.
IN AN examination of a numbc
* of children in the public 01 gran
nar schools it was found that tb
lumber of underweights was ri
iuced by supplying milk at tl
school at least once a day. In th
ligh schools where no milk was su]
ilied the gain in weight ior heigt
ind age was not so satisfactory.
While this habit of supplying e:
trn milk for scho<
children is exceller

onsils, a nose that is blocked ar
preventing proper breathing, roun
ihoulders, and other physical di
ects all prevent proper growth an
levelopment.
Dr. W. R. P. Emerson ir "A.

lontials for good nutrition and no
rial physical and mental develo]
nent are: (1) freedom from phys
:al defects, (2) adequate fcad, (!

5) proper rest. From a survey <

The Family Physician.
There was a time when the "ou
standing" doctor of a communil
vas supposed to be very silent, vei
;ruff. having no patience with tt
patient who wanted to tell him a
about his sickn ,ss. It was felt th:
ic knew so much that just a giant

pulse and temperature was all th;
re needed to know what was wroni
Fortunately the real family phys
:ian was not of this type, but a re
ill-round friend of the family wl
tad all the affairs of the family <
lis mind.
And then came the "hospital
type of physician who took sampli
if blood, urine, sputum, used tl
X-ray and other types of examin
tion possible in the hospital, ar
after waiting the hours and da;
lecessary for'these examinations
je completed, told the patient ar
the patient's family exactly wh.
was wrong.
Now it is only good sense for tl
ioctor to get all the help possib
from the hospital's laboratories, b
cause this will be of help to tl
patient; but the up-to-date docto
Che successful physician now ret

Humanism Is Needed.
Dr. Oscar KJotz in addressing tl
roronto Academy ol Medicii
states: "In the practice ot mec
cine the physician is called upon
use his every effort and equipmei
to learn the cause of the ailment ar
its treatment. He is often calh
upon to strain the last resourci
known to science to attain a sati

all these scientific endeavors, aid<
by all the available skill, there
need of a very commonplace a

Df your fellow man. There is ne(
of a sympathetic understandii
which serves to support the couraj
of the patient, an appreciation
the mental and spiiitual reactioi
oi the sick, often determined I
their surroundings, and made wor:
by the poverty and distress of oth
members of the .a nily. The ft
understanding of 'humanism'
medicine is acquired through var
ing circumstances of life and is t
tained in greatest measure by tl
