Thus. 1 patients may fall to suspect such i foods as whole-grain products, meat. milk, or eggs as the cause i of their symptoms even though ! they are highly sensitive to them. If the food to which the patient ' is highly sensitive is eaten only ; occasionally, that is once every four or five days, the symptoms are likely to occur in a period of about two hours after the food is eaten. In such cases, the diagnosis Is more easily made, since the patient -wfir usually suspect foods which he does not ent very often. Os cdutse. the degree of sensitivity varies If the patient is only slightly sensitive, symptoms may not develop after eating the foods responsible for the difficulty. However, the symptoms are more apt to occur if the food la sates at several successive meals, if largo amounts of It are eaten, or If some iMectlon Is present Irregular reactions to foods may also occur more often during the regular mpstbiy periods in women QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS • ■HD: What would cause the tongue to be coated ail the time* Answer; A routed tongue sometimes Is caused by constipation, while in many cases no reason for it can be discovered W one ta in good physical condition and feels perfect* weU. no nt-bohtofr-hbodld -be--pari to the tact t*M the tongue is coated

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE fl ANDREW spent most of the day v supervising the work tn the kitchen, where he had decided to have r a field day. None of these clinical- <j looking white kitchens for him! f He could Just imagine how cold t and cheerless it would seem on a t frigid winter morning. c Instead, he was having It wood- t paneled, with a dark maroon Uno- t leum on the floor. There would be v plain white nulled, cross-barred j curtains st the windows, and some ( pots of geraniums between his parsley and chives on the recessed , sills, and copper pans upon the t walls. WyMe approved. "It'll look , nice,” he had volunteered, when , Andrew showed him the plans. j One of the hardest things to , find had been flooring for the new ( living room. It was only by chance , that Andrew had heard of the pro- , jected razing of an old bouse , which was falling tn upon itself ; near the river. He had arranged ( to have the pick of the flooring, ( and while there was much that , had to be discarded, the house had , been large, and he had found that ( there would be enough for his room. A truck lumbered into the muddy driveway to deliver it now, and Andrew, going outside, recognized his friend Joshua Beadle. ’‘Well, I see you meant it," Beadle said, his blue eyes twinkling down at Andrew from the high driver's seat "You said you'd settle here, and you did.” "Yes, and thankr to you, I’ve been very comfortable," Andrew told him warmly. “You mean Miz Potts? Shucks. I knew you’d like It there. // she’d take you. But I guess you got a way with women—l hear she's boarding you now." "Only until I get moved In here. But it's a great help, not to have to run into town for my meals. i Let me give you a hand with that i flooring.” But Beadle stood for a moment, after he climbed down, looking at the old Wheeler house with a speculative eye. "See you’ve got into your architect work, anyhow,” he . said with a chuckle. "Even though you had to do it on your own house. Well," he spat accurately into the heart of one of the lllae bushes, "might turn out to be a good piece of business at that." The last two weeks of work on the house were so full that Mrs Potts was certain that Andrew neither au nor slept. "Now, you're not going to leave this bouse until yon get some food tn you.” she would say, with the air of an ultimatum, standing over him tn the dining room. "And no hurrying, either. H’s not fair to treat good victuals like that Why, you’ll be skin and bones in no time. And look at the boilers under your when by accident he did glance into a mirror, thought he looked very well.

more furniture than the house t would hold comfortably. He was glad that he would not have to buy any. He even had draperies, he remembered with a < feeling of pleasure. Bigelow sent I them up In advance of the other | things. They were much too long, i of course—the Delacouft ceilings | had been high—but he could have ’ them altered to fit the Wheeler i windows. He took them to Mrs. i McClure himself one morning, I after they arrived. He hadn't seen Joan since the night they had quarreled. Though he had looked forward to taking her to the Priests' bouse, her mother had telephoned that she had a cold and couldn't go. He had consoled himself that she could hardiy invent a cold, when it was ter employer's invitation. Surel; Alec would have known whether she was faking or not. But he had so looked forward to that evening. It was to have been his chance to set things right between them. Now that he understood what was behind her attitude, he felt he might make some progress. But, he thought disconsolately, there was small chance of making headway if he didn't see her. He had tried dropping in at the Branfield Lumber Supply Company on some business pretext or other, out both times she had been busy—once on the telephone, once trying to soothe an irate customer—and had barely nodded to him. Mrs. McClure led the way to their third floor apartment in the old house The furniture was shabby and cheap, and Andrew realized that all the fine antiques frem Boston, which Mrs. Potts had told him about, must have been sold when Mrs McClure was struggling to rearrange her Use. Her manner was completely assured, however, despite the poor appearance of the apartment, and he understood that her values were based on more Intangible things than possessions. He liked her all the more tor it. "What have you in those huge bundles?” she asked now, as he set them down on the floor of the sitting room. "Curtains,” he answered. “These used to be in my old home, and they've been in storage, but they're perfectly good, and I thought they could be made to fit my windows. If you’d take on the job,” bo added hastily. "Let me see." she said noncommittally, helping him with the unwrapping. He pulled out the crewel embroidered ones which tad hung In his tether’s bedroom. The soft blues and greens and golds at the wool swirled In an intricate design across the neutral background. Birds and flowers of Oriental imagery in muted jungle tones. Mrs. McClure caught her Breath a little. "Oh," she said, her eager fingers reaching out to touch them, they're beautiful'" “1 thought I'd use those in the living room—you know Fve converted the barn into a living room," Andrew said, "but they're aU mush too long. And these," ta rummaged beneath the. crewel embroideries and brought up a pair of hand-bb-cked linen drsperiea, ’•these I thought would look wed tn tta dtntnr room.* ♦ * • • " 1 Mrs McClure tore her gaze from

the crewel work and stared at the linens “Andrew," she murmured, "what magnificent material!” "And these,” he untied the seeond parcel, and drew toyth a curtain of glazed chintz, the background a rosy apricot against which creamy flowers and yellowgreen leaves spread themselves with repetitive grace. Touches of maroon and a dull blue kept the design from seeming insipid. "1 have a lot of these," ho said, "so I thought I'd use them in both the library and my bedroom, and perhaps have enough left for one of the upstairs rooms, as well.” Mrs. McClure fondled the chintz with knowing fingers, and did not answer. "Do you think that would be too much of a good thing?” ho asked her. ’Td vary the wall coloring, of course, and I think it wouldn't be too noticeable.” "I wouldn't worry about that," she said absently. "But, Andrew, 1 don't see how you can bear to have me cut into these. It's a crime to waste any of this mate rial.” "I don’t Intend to waste it," he said at once. "I thought 1 could use wtat was left for cushions, or save It tor seat covers, or something like that” She gave him a fleeting glance of approval. Then she sat back in her chair and stared at the glowing mass of color at her feet "Andrew,” she said suddenly, "that man you told me about—the man who used to own the Cadillac, and who loot his money—was that you?” "Yes," he sa!d In a low voice. Would she, too, misunderstand him, as Joan tad done? "I thougnt so.” she said now. ”1 thought so at the time, but 1 couldn’t be sura, of course. But these "—she made a small gesture toward the pile of curtains—"these spell wealth to anyone who knows good things" She straightened up, then smiled at him. "Well, I’m glad for your sake that you were able to save something when u went" His heart skipped a beat "You mean—you mean, you don’t mind that 1 used to have money?” be asked.
