KAY AND Jake were married in
Yuma David canceled the plan ■
res rvatians and drove tlown Willi
tlit in Kay had insisted on his go
lii,; He had said, 'I'll just Ik- in the
way."
"As though you ever could.
David !t s a funny way to do
thins*. ui as long as Jake has to
drive Nick's car back, I'd like to
go with him So we 11 have to be
married nut here." They were hav
ing breakfast in the hotel dining
room Jake hadn't come down yet.
"Of course. Anyway, what differ
ence does it make where you pet
married." Kay knew he was think
ing, "It's the getting married that
counts."
"David. I'm really sorry It's all
worked out the way it has." She
was aware of the awkwardness of
her words, but she had to say
something to show David that she
hadn't hurt him Intentionally.
"You don't mean that. You
mean you're sorry for me. and so
am I." He smiled at her kindly. "I
was almost convinced that you'd
made up your mind to marry me."
Kay buttered a piece of toast.
"Possibly. I'm not sure," she fal
tered a little.
"It's been Jake for quite a while
now, hasn't It?"
She looked up at him In sur
prise
"That night at Tony's made me
suspicions," j,e said, nnniscd at her
expression.
' I hadn't realized you knew 1 left
with Jake."
"I wasn't the only one left In the
lurch. Jake had some girl with him.
Pat something or other; a cute lit
tle trick with blond curls. She got
worried about Jake and went In
March »f him Just as you two were
disappearing down the back stairs."
Their conversation was Inter
rupted by Jake's arrival, and that
Was the iast time Kay kiw David
iloiii. But it was a relief to her
that David had taken the whole
'"ink no well Her Job meant more
•o her than ever now.
They had a hilarious wedding
"eakfast after the ceremony. aAd
en Jake and Kay drove David out j
* Uw airport. Kay klued mail
goodby, promised to bo back at the
store in two weeks.
"Why two weeks?" Jake asked,
as the plane rolled swiftly down the
runway and ascended in a lovely
curve.
"Too much or too little?"
"Too little, of course," lie said,
! taking her hand and swinging it
; lightly to and fro as they walked
toward tile car. He had taken oil
his tie, opened iiis shirt at the neck
He looked lean and strong and boy
ish. Her In-art gave a painful turn
"It's too good to last," she thought
"You haven't, by any chance,
forgotten that I'm a wirking gill
have you?" she asked »
"No, my love, I haven't. Anil
that brings up a lot of questions
I hat are going to pop up when we
get home. Hut there's lime for all
that. Now we've got hundreds of
places to see, roads to explore,
mountains to climb. Don't let's
hurry," lie pleaded. "Wire David
that you'll want a month."
"It isn't quite that simple. We
just can't have an argument, not
today of nil days." She-held his
hand hard. "We'll go on our travels
again, often. When I've planned for
it. Hut this time I must be bark
' when I said I would be." She
j smiled when she said it, but her
tone was firm.
"Well, come on then, Mrs Kerr
We haven't any time to lose. We
have a lot of ground to cover In the
next two weeks." They slid into the
smooth leather car seals, Jake
kissed her once lightly, and they
were off.
Two weeks later they drove up
to Kay's apartment, about 8 o'clock
in the evening. The most hectically

John. the doorman, didn't recog
nize her. Jake never rode with the
top up. so she was burned bv tnc
sun and wind. The clothes she had
taken out with her weren't suitable
for all-day driving. She had needed
something right away, and the
choice in Arizona was limited. So
the bride wore n faded blue seer
sucker dress which she had washed
out the night before in an automo
bile cabin. Her legs were bare. Her
head was wrapped in a handker
chief.
"Good evening, Miss," John said
formally, as he opened the carl
door.
"Onod evening. John," Kay said
primly. *
"Why. It's Miss Stevens." He was
embarrassed. "I'm sorry, miss. I—"
"Oh, it's all right. John," she as.
sured him. "I don't believe even
Anna will know who I am. Only
It's not Miss Stevens any longer j

"Congratulations. sir." John's
dignity prewnU'd li'.m from saving
anything more. But lii.s eyes wore
bright and kind in iiis seamed,
weather toughened face. He
watched them walk toward the ele
vator with an approving glance. A
handsome couple.
Tin v had wired Anna l»>ut when
to expect them, and she had the
door open when the «-Iev:tt->r came
to Kay's lloor. ".She must have sec
ond sight." .lake whispered to Kay.
Anna's staid figure, impeccably
neat and quietly composed. looked
homelike and comforting to Kay.
She ran across the hall and threw
iher arms mound Anna.
"It's good to see you," she said
with tears m her eyes
"It's about time you g"t home,"
I Anna retorted. "Ktiniiii'g off hke
! that and getting maiiu- i. nobody
knowing a thing about, it. not even
i poor Miss I let."
"Now, Anna, don't scold inc." Kay
s lid affectionately. She gave Anna
another hug. then turned to Jake.
He w.-ys watching the whole per
formance with obvious amusement.
"Hello. Anna, I'm glad .someone
knows how to keep my wife in her
place; You'll have to give me some
It ssons." He beamed ,it Anna, and
to Kay's amazement Anna smiled
back.
The elevator boy brought the
bags in. Kay's smart airplane lug
gage and Jake's battered old brown
leather suitcase.
"Where shall I put tliciit. Mrs.
Keir?" he asked.
She couldn't bring herself to say
casually, "in the bedroom."
"J ist leave them in the hall for
now," she told him.
She hadn't realized being home
was going to be quite like this,
with Jake seeming very male in
her decidedly feminine surround
ings. She fussed aiou .'l the living
room for a few minutes, delaying
the moment when Jake would fol
low her into her chaste room, with
its pale blue walls, voluminous or
gandy rutiles and li.ni l-painted,
flower-decorate.I furniture.
"(Jot something good for u*.

Uses of Vitamins as
Medicine Increasing
By LOUAN CLENDKN1NG, M. D.
ORIGINALLY tlic vitamins
were used in medical treatment as
a part of diet. It was found that
sonic persons were eating largely
processed foods, such as candy and
crackers and canned goods, "from
which in tlie course of manu
Dr. Clendening will answer
questions of general interest
only, and then only through
his column.
fncture the vitamins had been re
moved. Consequently these pa
tients showed symptoms of neu
ritis or scruffy skin or sore tongue
or dropsy, and the natural form of
treatment was to give oranges and
yeast and oatmeal and fresh meat
iind tomatoes so that general
health would lie improved. It was
replacement therapy. It is still
used.
Then the question arose whether
a given individual was getting,
not vitamins, but enough vitamins.
He had minor symptoms of vita
min deficiency, either because he
had indigestion or diarrhea, and
wasn't absorbing his due quantity
of vitamins even il' they were in
the food. Then began the era of
concentrated vitamin; in pill form.
You could K<-*t one single vita
min or you could get the whole
catalogue just to make sure. And
that is still goin^ on. In fact,
there are more vitamins sold in
the United States today than
there are cathartics.
New Development
What I am talking about is an
entirely new development. It is
the idea that vitamins may act not
alone like foods, but like drugs.
They may exert actions on special
tissues that will cause the tissue
to change in a certain process—
say degeneration—and reverse the
process and regenerate.
The most famous example and
the best for illustration was the
nervous disease named amyotro
phic lateral sclerosis. It is the di
sease Lou Gehrig had. Now no one
in the highest flight of imagina
tion ever supposed he didn't tret
the ripht kind of food. If he didn't,
why didn't all the other members
at the training table get the same
disease?
They all ate the most scientific
diet possible to devise. So it oc
curred to Dr. Wcchsler, of Now
York, since one part of vitamin E
— tocopherol •m- tyis powerful ac
tion on nerve tissue, it might work
in this otherwise incurable di
sease. It did not work in Lou
GehrigV case, as we know. But
the general principle of treatment
might still have some virtue.
Action of Vitamin I)
Vitamin D, as we know, hns
powerful action on bones. So it is
natural that it should be used in
arthritis. The main action of vi
tamin D is to increase the utiliza
tion of calcium and phosphorus.
One form of arthritis is notable
for the lack of calcium and phos
phorus in the bones. Hence the
logic of its use, at least theoreti
cally. Farley reports good prac
tical results.
In senile patients, also, who
have poor digestion and absorb
ability, concentrated vitamin ex
tracts have been used with some
success. They did not, naturally,
stop the process of the senile
changes, but it was possible to im
prove some senile changes that
appeared prematurely and to halt
the progress of mental, heart and
muscular deterioration.
In the nervous changes that oc
cur in anemia, vitamin B has been
used 011 account of its special ac
tion on nervous tissue.
QUESTIONS AM) ANSWERS *
L. M. R.: Just what is riboflavin '
and is there any danger of taking
too much of it? I have some
halivcr oil capsules from last win
ter and I am wondering if they <
will be all right to take.
Answer: Riboflavin is vitamin
B;. It is beneficial in cases of
cracked lips and sore tongue and
probably there is no harm in tak
ing practically any amount of it.
I believe that the haliver oil will
keep if kept in an ice box.
