"And for pity's sake be ready on time," Warren had said as he left that morning:. Their machine had been repaired and Warren hud suggested a trip up through the Berksliires. "We had better start before it gets too cold," he had said when he had announced to Helen that the car was finished. "I have been planning a trip all Fall." "llow nice, dear: the hills must be beautiful now," Helen had said en thusiastically, with never a remark about the car, and never a sugges tion that she remembered all that had happened. Whether Warren did or not remains to be seen, but suffice it to say he kissed her rather more tenderly than usual when he left —in the man's calendar of right and wrong a sure panacea for wounded souls. They were to start that afternoon and at noon Helen had the two bags all packed and was ready to take her bath and dress. This time she was determined that nothing would Jiappen to delay Warren a minute. The door bell rang and she went herself to open it. It was Warren. "Have you seen anything of those tubes?" he inquired crossly. "What tubes, dear?" "Those lnper tubes." Warren was rummaging meanwhile in the hall closet and emerged a few minutes Jater with two dirty tubes in his hand. "Will you be home to lunch, War ren ?" called Helen from her bed room. "No, I just came back for these. 1 guess there won't be any lunch for me to-day. Too many things to think of." "I'll keep something for you, shall I?" "No, don't bother, I won't have lime to eat anything," and the door slammed. Helen went on with her dressing and at. 12 o'clock called Winifred and went in to lunch. After lunch she dressed leisurely, and was ready to leave when ihe telephone rang. Warren's Mother lis Suddenly Taken 111. "Hello, who Is it?" she said going to the telephone. "Is this you, Helen?" "Yes; who Is this, Carrie?" Helen's heart sank and she swallowed ner vously. Carrie never called up un less something disagreeable was siliout to happen. "Is anything wrong?" she contin ued as naturally as possible. "Warren's mother is very sick, Helen. You'd better tell him to come up right away." Helen was shocked at the news. Much as she detested old Mrs. Cur tis, she felt dreadfully for Warren in a case of this kind. "Oh, what is it, Carrie? It must be very sudden." "Yes, it is sudden; she has had a cold and was taken with a fever last night. The doctor pronounced it pneumonia, and she is very weak." "I'll call up Warren right away, Carrie, and we will both be up as soon as we can get there." Helen hung up the receiver and then called Warren's number. Mr. Curtis was not at his office, said the new stenographer. He had gone out to the garage, about an hour ago. Yes, Mrs. Curtis might be able to get him there.

He had gone out somewhere for lunch. Yes, the boy would tell him as soon as he re turned. Helen sat down and tried to think normally. What would be the best thing to do under the circum stances? Of course the trip was out of the question. If only she could get hold of Warren. Well, he ought not to be long coining now. Helen busied herself taking out some of the things she had packed for the trip, replacing them with practical things for a trip up to Carrie's. She had just finished when she heard the click of Warren's key In the lock. She had taken off her hat to work, and now looked as though she were dressed for an aft ernoon in the house. "I knew you wouldn't be ready," said Warren testily. "After all your vows not to be late. The car's outside, and here you are still in that house drees." "I am going to wear this dress dear, under my long coat. But lis ten, Warren, something lias hap pened; we can't go on the trip, dear." "Can't go on the trip? What are you" talking about, some fool non sense I suppose. What's the mat ter? Has Mary given notice, or has the eat died, or what is it? Out with it; we haven't much time to spare." Helen was hurt at Warren's cal eolusness. but she gave no sign of this as she went up to him. Warren is Shocked at the Bad News, "Dear, your mother is very ill." "Mother ill? How do you know? What's the matter?" "Carrie just telephoned, she has pneumonia. Now don't worry, dear, everything is ready. We can start immediately." "Start!" said Warren vaguely. "Oh, yes start. We can go up there in the car, you mean." "Of course, dear, it's a bless ing we have it. There isn't a sin gle thing to do. 1 have all your things packed." Warren, who genuinely loved his mother, seemed dazed, and he watched Helen pin on her veil and snap the traveling bag shut with out speaking. "I thought one bag would be enough," she said calmly. "So I took your things out of the big tan one, dear, and packed what you would need in mine." "Thanks." muttered Warjfan, ab sently. Then suddenly. "Carrie thinks she's bad, does she?" "They don't know just how bad, Warren, but your mother is old and hasn't much strength, otherwise she would weather It beautifully." Hel en seemed to have brains for both of them and with a hasty kiss for Winifred .and a few instructions to Mary, she went out to the elevator followed by Warren, who seemed hardly able to comprehend tile news. "Don't worry, dear, just put your mind on getting us there as soon as possible," Helen counselled as they started. "It may not be us bad as they think." But somehow Helen did not feel as cheery as she pre tended and shuddered and drew her furs more closely about her as they flew along.

Every variation of the yoke skirt Is smart, but this one is especially attract ive for the reason that it includes panels which can be extended for full, length or cut off at the edge of the yoke as found more becoming. When cut full length, the panels give an effect of height ana slenderness which often is desirable and women who prefer a complete yoke will find it easy to accomplish the change. There are only four pieces in the skirt; the full sides are joined to the yoke, while the full length panels are arranged over it and the shorter panels are joined to the lower edge. Since the pattern is a new one, with both the seams and the basting line, there is really no labor worth considering re quired for the cutting and the making. I n the picture, the yoke is braided with soutache and that treatment is much liked, but as a matter of course, it could be trimmed in any other way or be left plain, or, the yoke could be made of a different material from the skirt. For the medium size will be needed 7 3 4 yds. of material 27 in. wide, 4% yds. 36, 4 yds. 44; the width at the lower edge is yds. The May Manton pattern No. 8894 is cut in sizes from 24 to 30 in. waist measure. It will be mailed to any ad dress by the Fashion Department of thia paper, on receipt of ten cents. AGENCY, BESSIE E.

Suppose you were in a house that was filled with smoke, boys," said Uncle Harry, "and in every room you visited you found the smoke even blacker and heaver than in the room you had just left, what would you wish for most?" "To get into a room where there wasn't any smoke," said Jimmy. "Or better still to get out of the house and into the street, where there was plenty of fresh air and sunshine," said Joe. "Your answer, Jimmy, is fair, but your's Joe, gets a 100 mark," said Uncle Harry, "and boys, that's just the way [ felt the other day when I read in the newspapers about a certain man who has come back to the United States from Europe. Tlie whole world Is praising him and every boy and girl and every man and woman in our country ouglti to be proud of him, for he Is a real hero." "Was he a soldier and did he hold a trench against a whole company of other soldiers?" asked Jimmy. "Boys, this man hasn't killed or even wounded a single person," said Uncle Harry. "He hasn't led any charges and he hasn't been decorated with any medals, but he has shown himself to be a genuine, full-sized man; kind hearted and strong, and capable of working and helping thousands of men, women and children who have suffered as few people have suffered since the beginning of the world." "Who is this man?" asked Joe. "He is Brand Whitlock, United States Minister to Belgium," said Uncle Harry. "He has come back to this country for a short vacation and rest, for he has been working so hard since the begin ning of the war, that his health has been very much weakened. He will call on President Wilson, and then visit his mother, and later go to his home city of Toledo, Ohio, where he was elected mayor time after time, because the peo ple of that city knew, just as the whole world now knows, that he was the kind of a man most needed in public work." "Is Mr. Wliitlock going back to Bel gium?" asked Jimmy. "He expects to, soon after Christmas," said Uncle Hnrry. "But there's something I don't un derstand," said Joe. "What is it?" said Uncle Harry. "Tell me and maybe I can explain it to you." "Belgium isn't really a Belgian coun try any more, is it?" asked Joe. "Oh, I see what you mean," said Uncle Harry. "The country—that is, the cities and the farms and those of the people who haven't been killed or who are not in the army, and every thing of that sort—is still there, but the German army now occupies and controls all of Belgium except a tiny part of the territory in the western corner." "Well then if Belgium is controlled by Germany how can the United State's have a minister to Belgium?" said Jim my. "Right now Belgium is a German pos session," said Uncle Harry "Whether it will remain a part of Germany will probably depend on whether Germany wins or loses the war. But even if Ger many wins, or peace is agreed upon before either side is completely crushed, Belgium may be restored to the Belgian people, for the Allies have captured BABY TURNS OUT TO BE THREE Father I .earns of Triplets' Birth by Arithmetical Progression Hempstead, L. T., Dec. lti.—Herman Pels, superintendent of the Belmont Park racetrack, was gazing sadly at. the snow-covered oval yesterday and thinking of the woes of a racetrack man in the winter, when the eldest of his four children bounced over to him and chortled: "Papa, I've got a little sister." Pels came out of his gloom and beamed and started for the houso on the run. When he got half way there another of his young hopefuls trotted up and murmured: "Papa, we've got two little sisters." Pels ran faster, but before he got in the door it opened and the nurse met him with a smile and the words: "Mr. Pels, there are three, and the last is a son." Mr. Pels is very happy. Not even the snow bothers htm now. WIMD WEB ST. P\UIJ GIRL Reading, Pa., Dec. 16.—Announce ment is made here of the engagement of John E. Barbey. son of John Bar bey, Reading's millionaire brewer, and Miss Mary Glyde Griggs, daugh ter of C. Milton Griggs of St. Paul, Minn. Mr. Barbey is a graduate of Yale and is vice-president and gen eral manager of the Berkshire Silk Mills here. practically all of Germany's colonies in Africa and Germany may be glad to give back Belgium tor some of these colonies. "But the point about Minister Whit lock is that he was (lie United States representative at Brussels, the capital of Belgium, when the German army invaded and captured the country. You can see that under these peculiar cir cumstances he had to be very careful how he acted. But lie has been so suc cessful in looking after American inter ests in Belgium, and in helping in the work of giving relief—food and cloth ing—to tlie Belgium families whose homes were destroyed in the war, that he has won the praise and respect of the Belgian people, the Belgian King, and the officers and soldiers of the German army. In fact, every nation in Europe, including all the lighting countries, look upon Mr. Wliitlock as one of their best friends. "Why only a few days ago I read in one ol' the newspapers a statement from a man who has been in Belgium almost, since the beginning of the war, to the effect that Mr. Wliitlock had undoubt edly saved the city of Brussels from de struction, When the German army en tered Belgium several of the cities re sisted and taefore tho attacks were over those cities had been all but completely destroyed. As the German army drew near t<> Brussels the Belgian officials wanted to tight. This man that I speak of, says that Minister Whitlock. know ing" the strength of the invading German army, and wishing to save the lives and me line buildings that would un doubtedly be destroyed, persuaded the Belgian officials not to attempt to re sist the Germans. So the Belgian army marched in, and the lives of all the peo ple in Brussels and their homes and buildings were saved. The King of the Belgians knew that his people and country would have lost more than they could have gained from trying to de fend Brussels and so he thanked Mr. Whitlock for Ills advice. "This was only one of the many, many things that Mr. Whitlock has done to help people and save lives since the be ginning of the war. He has worked hard every day and night. He is the 'fresh air and sunshine' that I spoke of when 1 began talking to you, and all the other war news of the millions of men who have been killed and wounded and the cities and homes that have been destroyed are the 'rooms filled with black smoke.' " Uncle Harry was getting ready to go home when he turned to the boys and said: "1 can't really speak of anything in Mr. Whitlock s experience as being 'funny' and yet I smile whenever I think of liim. You know, boys, Mr. Whit lock used to be a newspaper reporter before he was a lawyer and Mayor of Toledo, and he has written many short DECEMBER 16, 19T5.

Treat the cause —heal the inflamed membranes. Here is a home made remedy that gets right at the cause and will make an obstinate cough vanish more quickly than you ever thought pos sible. Put 2',2 ounces of Pinex (50 cents worth.) in a pint hottle and fill the bottle with plain granulated sugar svrup.

Another remarkable thinK has happened which will again startle the people of Harrisburg and which will prove all the stronger the marvel ous powers of that greatest of all remedies. A young married woman of this city who just four weeks ago became the happy mother of a beautiful boy baby, was horrified last Friday to realize that she was afflicted with a tapeworm. She knew it because she had seen a piece of the worm, which had accidently passed from her. She as well as her loving husband became much worried. She summoned medical advice and was told that it would not be safe to take treatment while she was nursing the child. I-.ast Saturday she wns told to come and have a talk with the health teacher at Keller's drug store. She did so. He assured her that the Quaker treatment would expel the worm complete without danger to herself or child. When she asked: "Will T have to starve baby?" she was told to nurse the child, then take the medicine and by the time the baby was again hungry the worm will have passed, and the infant could be appeased. She did as she was directed. Sunday morning she nursed the baby at 8 o'clock, took the Quaker treutment, and at 8.45 she expelled the worm complete and fifteen minutes later again had the child at her breast. I Tuesday she brought the worm to the drug store. She is happy, baby was not even Inconvenienced and "Quaker" again done what was claimed could never be done. It you suffer from rheumatism, catarrh, stomach trouble or worms call on the health teacher at once and learn all about the Quaker reme dies. lie can be seen at Keller's drug store daily from 9a. m. to 9 p. m.
