It wac as if It required an inU-nse mental effort to bring himself to â- tale that the affair was a "frarae- Bp." Once he had delivered himself of this word he made a continual â- tupid reiteration of it that caused Mr. Perkln to glance at Adam wlUi an almost comical expression of hope- lessness.

To break In on his solitude required considerable termerity for he possess- ed a biting tongue when annoyed by the least hint of an Impertinence, When Adam arrived at the tea- room his man was already seated, waiting patiently for his meal and staring short-slgbtedly at the pages of a scientific periodical. Adam went boldly up to the table. It possessed three oJiairs of which, of course, two only were vacant. He put bis bag on one and sealed himself on the other. The man of science cild not so muciii as look up, though an im- mediate and ominous silence fell over the whole room at the sight of this unprecedented liberty. Adam politely said, 'Good even- ing."

There was a renmrkable short lec- ture at the institiito that evening, and laboratory work started a full quarter of an hour before the sched- uled time. Ti'ie students obediently bu.Kied theniselves with microscopes and Hunsi'ii burners, and the I'rofe.s- sor signalled surroptioiisly to Adam with bis eyebrows aand went out. A few minutes later they were unpack- ing the apparatus together in the Professor's private room. ".N'i'edn't have bothered to bring all this," grumbled the old fellow. "Plenty of apparatus here to t^oose from." "l thoiiglu I'd hetti'i bring the lot. .â- <ir, Just as I used It.

"I don't seem to experience anything out of the ordinary so far," he said In tonea f a resigned irony. Completely abashed, Adam turned the shield so that the slit came Jiiuiid to i>ils ov^n side. He too felt none of the mysterious excitement. The e.v.periiiKnl was a tiasco. He felt bltl*:rly ashamed, "It liHjkH to me as if you have not been sutflclently careful lo eliminate outside causes for your allegiul phe- nomena.

"You are in too much of a hurry always. You never stop to verity Oh, I.K)rd, Oh, Lord!" His face had gone a nasty grey. His mouth dropped open to display an Infamous set of artificial teeth. His hands went shoulder high, the thin old fingers stiffening as if with cramp. Then he staggered. Adam awltchod off and ran round to support him. "Good Ivord above!" he murmured distractedly. Tottering to a chair. Starling sat down, or rather slumped, Adam at first seriously alarmed for him, w"as relieved lo find the recov- ery as rapid as the attack had been. In a few minutes he was sitting up and talking rationally once more. "This is a very remarkable pheno- menon, Meriston," he said. "Very remarkable, I presume you had made a bad connection." (To be Continued) Health Goes Long Way Toward Beauty Being healthy doesn't necessarily indicate that you are beautiful but it does mean that you have a certain verve and dash about you that is akin to beauty. Fortunately, mod- erns judge a girl by her charm and personality more than by her look-s and the one sure way to a more pleasing per.-onality is phy.sical vell- beinj;. Kemeinber that regularity is the password to health. Try to sleep the same number of hours each night, eat your meals at the .same times every day and take a reasonable amount of exercise. Omitting exer- cise all week and then playing sev- eral sets of tonnis on Saturday isn't nearly as good as walking half a mile each day. Remember, too, that a Iioalthy person is likely to have a pleasant dispo.-ition and an amiable person- ality â€" both of wliich are real a.sset.-; in the beauty came. A bad (H.'^posi- tion puts wrinkles acro.i.s your fore- head and around your eyes and make.s the corners of the mouth turn down in.stead of up. No one mind.s laugh lines but there is nothing to be said in favor of frown lines. Re- sides, peojilp who h.tve unpleasant, sour di.spo.sition.s generally have equally obnoxious personalities. Not that you have to be a veritable Polly- anna and go around making every effort to bo sweet. That's tiresome, too. But you can refrain from out- bursts of temper aiul "sulking" spells and jn their place substitute tolerance and graciou.=ness.

Italian Women Replaced by Men This Coincides willi Musso- lini's Plan For More Mar- riages and Babies. The 40-hour week is in operation in industry in Italy. Women grad- ually are being replaced by men which coincides with Mussolini's plan for more marriages and babies. "Social Justice" was the new slog- an of Mussolini's program for his 13th year of power. I'ractical application of "Social Justice" »akes the form in agree- ments made between the Employer.? and Employes Confederation with the sole aim of increasing employ- ment in all branches of industry, banking and insurance by means of abolition of overtime, restriction' to the 40-hour week and gradual elim- ination of women workers. OVERTIME Overtime can only be authorized on special occasions when both parties (employers and employes) agree that it is necessary within specified reasonableness. Under no condition inust it become habitual. If work in any branch be developed so as to demand overtime being pro- longed or habitual an increase in the number of workers must be instigat- ed instead. With the introduction of the 40 hour week wages based on daily, weekly, or longer period scales, will be reduced proportionately to the reduced working schedule. Collective wage agreements in which the number of workers determines wage scale will not be affected by the increase of workers. Insurance and banking confederation employes who receive 600 lire a month in officers' and employes' positions, and 400 lire a month in subordinate positions, will be cut off the payroll. No one person can hold two jobs. WOMEN IN INDUSTRY Of 21,000,000 women in lUly, of which 4,000,000 are over 10, nearly 4,000,000 are engaged in gainful occupation including the one and a half million in agriculture. In the past decade a marked in- crease of women in industry over agriculture can be observed in tlie comparison of statistic table. Com- panies having more than 20 employes must not exceed 12 per cent, of their number in women in banks and other similar institutions, and IB per cent, in women in insurance; in cases where this does not exist yet, actual replacement must take place within the period specified ac cording to individual agreements. Bridal Dress Of Two Hundred Years Ago Given Museum A bridal dress of nearly 200 years ago has been presented to the Victoria and Albert Museum, Lon- don. The bride treasured the dress, which has been handed down through her family, until it came into the possession of Licut.-Colonel Robert E. Key. Over the yellow silk dress, with its billowing flounces and "sack" back, was worn a bright red cloak. The wide-brimmed hat has a foundation of plaited straw, and it is believed to be one of the earliest surviving products of the industry, which was well-established in Bed- fordshire in the 18th century. The dress still retains its charm and freshness. I/icut.-Col. Key said he had pre- sented the dress to the mu.seum be- cause they had been searching for a long time for a perfect example of that [leriod. The bride for whom it was made was Mary Horner, of .Sunderland- wick, Yorkshire. Her husband was William Reyard, of Hob Green. Yorkshire, and hi.' family still live in the district.

It is a well-known saying that "all the world loves a lover," and it is equally true that all the world loves a bride. Also most of us love all the delightful customs and ac- cessorias which make a modern wed- ding such an enjoyable affair, al- though few of us know the source from which these customs are de- rived. â- Wliy do we pelt the happy pair with rose petals and confetti? Why do we tie an â- â-ºId shoe on the back of the car, to the consternation and embarrassment of the inmates? What is the origin of the wedding cake? A wedding breakfast in Anglo- Saxon days could hardly have been any fun at all, even -for the bride. No tulle or orange blossom for her, but no her head she wore a chaplct of corn, while at the church door a quantity of wheat was poured over her head. After this uncomfortable performance the guests ate the grain, an unpalatable and dry meal, as hospitelity did not run to drink of any kind. Gradually corn â€" the emblem of plenty â€" was superseded by rice, but it was not until the last century that rose petals and confetti became the fashion; the fragile Victorian brides objecting to the showers of painful, stinging rice. THE CHIEF GIFT While rice-throwing at weddings is practically universal, the tying of old shoes is mainly practised in those parts of the world inhabited by the British. At one time the staple gift ot bridegroom to bride was a pair of shoes. It was a essential as the engagement ring. These were pre- sented to the bride on her wedding morning and were treasured by her with the utmost care, as her hus- band was not supposed to beat her until they were worn out. The triumphal arch was originally erected in honor of the bridegroom Until quite recently, in Kent the vil- lagers would build an arch at the churchyard gate, on which they hung implements belonging to the bridegroom's trade. A carpenter would have a saw, plane and foot rule. A blacksmith a hammer, i)in- eers and horse.shoes. The evolution of the wedding cake has a romance all its own. Starting with raw grain, it later took the form of baked biscuits until a Tudor matron was in.<pirod to substitut.- thorn with sugar buns. These buns were spiced and coated with almond paste and were rich with comfits. They were provided, nut by the bride's mother, but by the guests. They were not eaten at ihij break- fast, but were piled in a heap before Are You Rundown, Tired? Mrs.^ M.-lIiel Murphy of 13 WcstiiiKhinisc -\vr., .â- \pt. 4. II.-iinilliMi.

His culinary' and artistic tastes were offended by the unsightly mound of sticky bum, so he covered the ugly mass with a clean, white coating of sugar. Since then the wedding cake has developed considerably, but it is not often that such magnificence is to be seen as in the cakes for the re- cent Royal wedding. One weighed 800 pounds and was surmounted by a silver vase filled with white roses, the Duchess of Kent's favorite flowers.

In! a few moments there were five| spirals of smoke ascending to the celling and business proceeded just as it used to when all the controlers belonged to the male sex.
