" Susan smiled as she took his order. Dr. Markley had been send ing Janey violets on special occa sions ever since the florist shop had moved uptown. It was about moirio/? the crirl Sue re- ' lliuc lie mo?nv- o ? I fleeted, though then his orders would cease. They always did! "And orchids for Mrs. Throck morton Prince. Sunset avenue," he added. "Would ten dollars buy a corsage ? nothing showy?" peeling a dollar bill and two fives from a rather slim roll. He would like to write the cards himself. What a long time it took him! Susan, clipping the ends of day break pinks, eyed him speculative ly. She had known both Janey Smallwood and Dr. Judson Markley since high school days. Was it eight or nine years that Janey had been waiting? "Your change, Doctor.". She handed him a quarter. "From the violets." He pocketed it eager ly, handing her the tiny white en velopes. "H'm," thought Susan. "H'm! The wealthy Mrs. Prince is a widow. Poor Janey!" Dr. Markley hustled from his hos pital rounds to the measling Brown children and thence to a tonsil case and an expectant mother. Between stops his mind was in a turmoil. He'd got to come to a decision to day; that Philippine offer couldn't wait any longer: Either he must ac cept it right away or lose it for ever. It was a pretty good opening, he knew, for a struggling young physician. By taking it he could marry Janey. He grew tender as he thought of Janey. Then he steeled his heart and considered what marriage with Mrs. Prince would mean for him: a clientele among her rich friends, a beauti ful suite of offices with assistants, a jump over those first wretched years when a young doctor is get ting his foothold; in fact, escape from poverty. He was so tired of being poor. He had, he felt, paved the way rather neatly with flowers. "The violets will soften the blow for Janey," he sighed, realizing that already in his heart he had suc cumbed to temptation. Of course he could reneg on what he'd writ ten on the card. Janey always un derstood everything. Screwing up his courage, Dr. Markley ascended the stone steps to the Prince mansion and rang the bell. He'd get rid of her three chins if he had to starve her! And no kittenish baby-talk after they were married, if he had to strangle her! She'd accept him all right. Hadn't she chased him till it nause ated every fiber? "Mrs. Prince is not at home, sir." "But I have an appointment," the doctor told the butler, "She's ex pecting me." "Mrs. Prince's orders, sir. Sorry, sir." ?Til wait." The butler's sardonic mask mad dened him. "Not at home. Especially to you, sir." The massive door was closing in his lace! After a stunned moment, Dr. Markley drove to the Smallwoods'. Janey greeted him with shining eyes. She was taking it like a thor oughbred, he thought, with a stab at his heart. There would be no heroics with Janey. "I've just dropped in for a moment, Jane. I felt I owed you some further ex planation." "Oh, you needn't say a word, darling! That was the most original offer of marriage any girl ever re ceived." (She was in his arms now.) "And the answer is yes, yes, yes ? any time you say!" Over her shoulder two delicate orchids flaunted themselves saucily from a glass bowl. There was noth ing he could do but hold her tighter and kiss her. Nothing he wanted to do, he realized now, half so much. "I'll be so glad to leave the stupid old law officf," Janey admitted lat er. "That tiresome Mrs. Prince was haggling all the afternoon to see if there wasn't some way to break her husband's will. You know she will lose every cent if she ever marries again. I shouldn't talk shop, but it isn't anything that mat ters to you ? " "No, it doesn't matter to me! To blazes with Mrs. Prince!" His mind was racing. What had he written ? to go with the violets? "Perhaps it will be better if we meet only casu ally, as I am about to be married." A week to a day he again en tered the florist shop. "Violets for Janey?" piped Su san, pencil poised. "No, bridal bouquet," grinned the doctor. A Wooden Wedding Every member of a bridal party at Bellingen, New South Wales, was named Wood. The bride was Dulcie Wood, the bridegroom James Wood. Her sister, Marion Wood, appeared in the role of bridesmaid; the bride's brother, also James Wood, was best man. Rev. Gordon Wood conducted the marriage service, while his wife played the wedding march. Other Woods attended as singers at the wedding reception and feast following the ceremony. What made the ceremony more re markable was that the members of three unrelated families, all bear ing the name of Wood, were among the guests. Household % ?

Stains may be removed from a marble mantelpiece in the follow ing way: First of all, wash with soap and water, then wipe dry, and apply a paste made of finely powdered bathbrick or carbonate of soda, and lemon juice. Rub this well into the discolored parts and rinse off in clean, cold water. ? ? ? For white sauce, melt two and a half tablespoonfuls of buter in saucepan.

Quickest Way to Ease a COLD 1 Take 2 Bayer Aapirin tablets with a full gla m ol water. 2 If throat is Km . also, gargle with 8 Bayer tablets in ,, H gUas of water. The modern way to ease a cold is this: Two Bayer Aspirin tablets the moment you feel a cold coming on. Repeat, if necessary, in two hours. If you also have a sore throat as a result of the cold, dissolve 3 Bayer tablets in H glass of water and gargle with this twice. The Bayer Aspirin you take internally will act to combat fever, aches, pains which usually accompany a cold. The gargle will provide almost instant relief from soreness and raw ness of your throat. Your doctor, we feel sure, will approve this modem way. Ask your druggist for genuine Bayer Aspirin by its full name ? not by the name "aspirin" alone. 1 FULL DOZEN FOR 2Sc Virtually lc ?
