The fact that infants sleep nearly all the time is Nature‘s method of preserving the energy for growth aud development. The kicking and squirming of infants for the short time they are awake seems to give them all the exercise they need. Scale of Required Sleep Just how long should children sleep? The Ontario Department of Health in one of their series for mental clinics gives theso figures: Birth to 6 months â€" 18 to 20 hrs, 6 months to 2 years â€" 16 hours. 2 years to 6 years â€" 12 hours. 10 years to 14 years â€" 104 hrs. 14 years to 18 years â€" 10 hours.

One of the tenants in the St. Ann, across the way, was sitâ€" ting at the window just at that moâ€" ment." "Couldn‘t she identify the man?" "Hardly, It was quite dark, you remember, and she saw him only for an instant, as one of the ship‘s searchlights passed over the roof." Harry shook his head wonderâ€" ingly and sighed. "It‘s a tough case, all right," he admitted. _ "Poor Amy!" at all!" he ly thought . "I read in last night‘s paper that someone actually saw it bhappen." Cilly hesitated to reply. For some inexplicable reason she resented his questioning. It wasn‘t as if he had been genuinely fond of Amy; his interest now was merely morâ€" bid curiosity, and she determined not to satisfy it. "Do you know," he said with a studied carelessness, "there‘s someâ€" thing back of all this." "You think so?"

She groped for a hasty excuse, then gave up the idea. Why bother to make excusâ€" es? Why not let him know once and for all that she did not want any association with him? "I really planned to dine at home this evenâ€" ing â€" alone," she finished, with special emphasis on the last word, As soon as the words were out she felt a liitle ashamed of her rudeness, but Harry was complete ly unruffled. "Well, now that‘s too bad," he remarked. "You know, I‘d enjoy dining with you, Priscilla, You are a delightful person â€"â€" a charming and intelligent woman. That‘s a combination a fellow doesn‘t often meat these days." Too bad I haven‘t Gloria Harâ€" mon‘s money, too, Cilly thought sourly. His flattery left her cold. Any New Developments Lowering his voice, he asked in a more gentle tone: "Any new de velopments in solving our unforâ€" tunate affair?" "I suppose you‘re trying to tell me that Jim Kerrigan was the se cret trouble in her life?" Cilly flarâ€" ed, with biting sarcasm. She was white with anger, not so much beâ€" cause of Hutchins‘ insistent quesâ€" tioning, but rather because he had come so close to the truth, What right did he have to dig into Jim‘s past?

"Goodby," Cilly corrected icily. She stood there for a moment after he had left, her brows knit toâ€" gether in puzzled consideration.

At the same moment, the outside front doorâ€" bell rang. Cilly made a move to answer it. A Suitor Rejected i "Don‘t bother!" Hutchins told her. "I believe that‘s the taxi for me.
