Growing pains in most instances is a term used to cover flashes of pain that occur in children be- cause of, the presence of rheumatic conditions. This should not be taken to indicate that every child who suffers these pains is in dan- ger of developing either inflam- mation of the joints or any seri- ous condition affecting the heart. The pain, like all pains, should be considered a warning of the neces- sity for an investigation. Growing pains, according to a British investigator, are usually found in children who are ill, weak, undernourished, unhappy, work too hard, or walk too far to school. The Children who have these pains usually suffer fre- quently from colds and occasional- ly also have bad posture.

The Goose Woman by REX BEACH SYNOPSIS â€"• Amos Ethridge is found murdered in a country lane with a crude cross of twigs on his breast and a scented sheet of note paper in his pocket. He was the richest man in the state with power and influence enough to make him- self candidate for Governor. With his death came hints of an unsav- ory private life, of wronged women and betrayed husbands and fathers who had reason to wish him dead. There was also a powerful secret political organization opposed to him . . . Mary Holmes, called “the goose woman” by newspaper reporters, lives nearest the scene of the crime on a small chicken farm where she ekes out a poor living and tries to find in drink the forgetfulness of past glories when she was Maria di Nardi, world-re- nowned opera singer . . . Ger- ald Holmes, a talented young ar- tist is hated and loved by his moth- er who is embittered because his birth caused the loss of her voice and wrecked her operatic career. He has been ebfriended by the murdered Ethridge, and is engaged to another of Amos Ethridge’s pro- teges . . . Hazel Woods, lovely and brilliant young actress, has been helped to success by Ethridge. She lives in a small cottage owned by Ethridge . . , Jacob Riggs, eccentric old-time actor, now a doorman at the theater where Ha- zel Woods plays, has appointed himself her guardian and lives in a room over her garage. CHAPTER XVII On Monday came the news that Mary Holmes was ill, completely prostrated by her son’s arrest and by the frightful realization of what she had done. This too, was tasty. People enjoy sympathizing with the innocent. Mrs. Holmes was indeed ill, not, however, by reason of what she had sworn to, but by reason of what she had drunk. That bellboy’s choice of liquor had not been wise and Vogel had been summoned early Sunday morning to learn that his principal witness was suffering from “non-alcoholic” poisoning. Re- alizing that , the truth regarding her reliability as a witness if lie sent her to a hospital, he insisted that She remain where she was, mean- , while receiving, of course, the best medical attention. He it was who gave out the story of her, collapse. The Greater Tragedy Gerald, very naturally, had no reason to question the cause of his mother’s illness, It seemed to him that his plight was enough to pros- trate her, but it destroyed his im- mediate hopes of disproving the charges against him. He was al- lowed to read the papers, but what he read appalled him. It was coli- ceivable, of,course, that his mother had actually witnessed the killing, as she maintained, and had told him nothing about itâ€"she was ec- centric; there was no telling what she might do or how she was like- ly to behave under the influence of liquorâ€"but he strongly doubted this and clung to the conviction that she would confess to a wild, and imaginative romance or that somebody would prove her story to be, in part, at least, the fanciful creation of an alcoholic brain. But would she confess? How could she bring herself to do so? Granting that she now realized where the truth of her story ended and imag- ination began, an assumption which by the way, was not likely, was her Jove for him sufficient to warrant humiliation? Moreover, could she. undo the wrong she had done, even if she tried? These were questions Gerald could not answer. As a mat- ter of fact, he did not try very hard to answer them, for something more important than his own welfare weighed him down and rendered him apatheticâ€"it was the misfor- tune that had befallen Hazel. From what he read in the newspapers it seemed to him that he was the only person in the world who be- lieved in her. The poor girl must be suffering more keenly than he. Hers was the greater tragedy. Gerald was surprised on Monday REMEMBER to gel your copy ef ibis week’s Toronto Star Weekly while in town. to receive a visit from two lawyers, members of the leading local firm, and to learn that they had been re- tained as his counsel. He assumed, of course, that his mother had sent them and he took cheer from that fact, but he gained little comfort out of talking with them aside from the realization that some one stood beside him. He had expected some word, some communication from Haze] ; but none came and at last her sil- ence convinced him that she, too, believed in his guilt. It was a bit- ter pill to swallow, but, after all, why should she doubt his own mother’s word? Sufficient Trial Some people are possessed of such self-confidence, and such high regard for their own importance, that they assume others must share that faith. It is a form of conceit, and no doubt it is a blessing to the possessor, but .Terry was not con- ceited. He was a humble-minded, modest young man and he consid- ered himself of very little conse- quence indeed. Upon considera- tion it seemed quite natural that Hazel should wish to be assured of his innocence before yielding to her impulses. Had lie not tried her sufficiently without putting her love to this test? He told himself that he had. For several days Mary Holmes remained a very sick woman. In- stead of enjoying her unparalleled publicity she lay abed weak, nause- ated, suffering wretchedly.

Front SI, )'., Toronto daily papers and a complete ac- count of all that had happened since she was stricken, but not until she was strong enough to sit up did the doctor permit her curiosity to be gratified. Then he told her guard- edly that the “man in the robe” had been arrested and that the Eth- ridge caée had been solved. He did not tell her who that man was, but he prepared her for a shock. She listened incredulously, in a daze. He gave her the papers finally and left her alone to read them. He returned to the , sick room after a while to find his patient staring blankly at the wall. “I thought you might feel the need of a stimulant,” he said. Mrs.; Holmes, did not hear him. “Didâ€"Jerry do it?” she inquired, stupidly. “You ought to know. You saw him.” “But they can’tâ€"they can’t do anything to him on evidence like mine, can they?” “Why not? It’s hard to get a conviction on purely circumstantial evidence, but yours is direct.” There was a moment of silence. “The reporters are calling up every few hours. They want to interview you as soon as you’re able to talk to them. Everybody is curious to know what you’ll have to say. Yes, and the Woods girl has been here half a dozen times.” “I won’t see them, nor her, ei- ther. Why does she want to talk to me? Hasn’t she done enough? I shouldn’t think she’d dare show her face on the street after causing all this and after everybody knows what she is." Mrs. Holmes found the doctor staring curiously at her; in irritation she flared out: “Why are you looking at me like that? What’s the matter with you?” “You’re a queer creature. I was wondering how it feels for a mother â€"But you can’t he much of a mother.” The speaker shrugged. “How dare you?" Mrs, Holmes cried, shrilly. “The idea of your talking to me like that! I’m kick. I’m in no condition toâ€"Why, even the newspapers blackguard me! But hpw did I know? What could I do?

When cane, cord, whalebone, or straw, fastened together with tapes ap- peared, to augment milady's hipline in the 18th Century, however, the French chuckled “poultry baskets,” and “panier,’’ meaning a hamper or poultry basket, because the accept- ed term of fashion for hoops. A dome-like structure made the first hoop forms in the 1700’s, but as the century advanced, hoops, or paniers, were flattened front and back until a dressed hip measured 18 feet. A Hard Time Walking The enormous hoops created a locomotion problem that was solv- ed by walking sideways through the narrow passages, by doubling the flexible hoops together in the front, or later, by folding the hing- ed metal frame upward from the hips. Writers, preachers, orators de- nounced the style, but it: was the theatres that accomplished what moralists could not, and when the actresses found the extravagant mode incompatible with freedom of movement, the hoop fell into dis- use, except for Court occasions.

Wrinkles are easy to acquire, but overcoming them is not nearly so simple, as many of us know to our dismay! Prevention is infinitely a lot better than cure, and early at- tention to the face and neck will be an insurance against wrinkles later on. Wrinkles are more often to be found on dry skins than on oily skins, and therefore the first re- quisite is to lubricate the skin, and the underlying tissues, using a, cream with a rich base. This cream must be applied to the surface of the skin with light friction, using the fingers only. The massage is important; keep the tips of the fingers flat on the skin, and, using both hands, smooth the skin iu the direction opposite to which the wrinkles go. You must NOT stretch the skin. Here are hints for specific wrinkles: on forehead, start in the middle and work out towards the temples. For the eyes, commence the movement at the side nearest the nose, and work your fingers outwards and right around the top of your eyes. Don’t just massage to the outer edge of the eyes, and stop there, for that is where lines are so apt to appear.
