The chief function of Jheso glands is the formation of sail a, a secretion which empties into the mouth and Is there mixed with the f Mid we eat as the first necessa.y step in the dixe.«tive process. Perhaps the beat k'nown of the disorders which may affect the sal Ivary glands is mumps. Others ar« atone formation, infection and r.imors.

In theM> cases the temperature suddenly I ris«!s to I*3 degrees or higher, ther is sickness at the stomach. back-j ac he, headache, and swelling of th" I sex gland. Treatment involves elth-j er support of the gland by suspenaory. or the removal by a physica’i of the fluid which collects around I this gland. This must lie done to prevent the blood supply to the gland from being cut off by the swelling. If a stone forms In the sali-ary | glands and blqcks the opening into! the month, there may be sharp pain i with swelling. at mealtime The I paia may gradually disappear, but J some tenderness tontlnues for hours or days.

Such infection may follow the pulling of tooth or tonsillitis, or operation within the i hi-st or alHiotninal cavities. In treating this condition, !a great deal of fluid should be si'*’len and a mouth wash used at int- rI vats, day and night. Penicillin and ' the sulfonamide drugs are extreme|ly helpful.

Ci f A PTEP. TH IRTY -SEVEN PURSE'S WHOLE expression was authoritative, bent on giving the commands to a child. It was the way he had looked at her the night Kit had first seen him. He didn’t like her any better nt this age, she thought miserably. He doesn’t know I'm around, for all his off-hand invitation to Squanttirn. Ho was so sure of himself, he didn’t have to bother. •'I won’t sell," she said finally. She tightened her scarf and added as compensation, "Marvell says Colcord is built on water.’* Why, you docile little rip, thought Fursc furiously. •'Yon cot.ld keep the woods. Kit," said Marvell. "It's the woods she cares about," he said to Fursc. Is that all you're going to contribute. thought Fursc. If you had any sense, you’d order her to be sensible. “There’s the Staneweskl land, just to this side," she said. "It's kind of swampy, there must be water there.” She could toll by Fursc's narrowed eyes that he was all the more set on his wish. "It may not sound like much of a reason to you," she smiled disarmingly to cover her anger, "but you see we arc not farmer* and the land especially near the house Is a part of the natural setting 1, shouldn’t want spoiled.** She made the faintest gesture of wcarinesa. Just as a movie star might do at the end of a scene, Furse noted. The little poseur! And suddenly he felt an extraordinary gentleness toward her. She was very conscious of the stiffness of their goodbyes -Marvell a little puzzled and she coldly civil. It's a free country, isn't it, she said to herself defiantly. Marvell and Kit walked across the rough grass. There was no moon but there was enough star-

light to guide them to the edge of the gravel road. She was only a head shorter than Marvell now. Each had the same long stride. They fell into step together automatically. Suddenly Marvell's voice, clear and cadcnced, on the frosty sir: “That time of year thou may'st in me behold. When yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold. Bare ruin's choirs, where late the awcct birds sang.. .* “ Lovely, Kit thought passionately. "More," she murmured. “No more." Then he said. "That's an interesting attitude you took over that piece of land. "You think 1 did wrong?" Tt’s your decision—the prlviof a l-ndowner. 1 am on!y| interested in why you made it and so fast" "Everything just seems to come nt once," she rephed in a low voice. "I know." he said, drafting her arm through hi*. There was a great «wening of love within her for her father. She wanted to say—l'm grown up. believe me, Marvell, I'm Sorry 1 wax such a child just then—but the w trde stuck. Sbe tnud to think OX erf COO"

-fidencc and came up with Peter on her tongue. "Peter should have a chance to go away, Marvell.” She tightened her arm in his. "He is so good at mechanics and he wants to go places.” "Ah.” You fitted that package right into my hand. "Do you have a gerxi time with Peter?” "Well,” she felt more expansive than she had for a long time, "if I can keep him talking,” she said honestly. Privately she was a little disappointed in her experiment. Tonight, when she had hell her breath and kept her mouth against Peter's for ever so long, without even a tremor, she had been discouraged when he had demanded, "Why don’t you ever kiss me?” "And if you don't succeed?" asked Marvell. “There’s not much to it—and It isn’t so bad in the winter with my heavy coat..." He stopped short and turned her sharply around. "Ixx>k,” he said, "if you’re old enough for me to let you make your own decision on the spring, you’re old enough to handle yourself. But you're not proving it with this boy." His voice rose in anger. "You know about sex, we've gone over that But what you don't know, apparently. Is the difference between experiment and expertcnee. Until you get that distinction, you're going to hurt yourself and others, and If I have to prevent you from doing this, I will." She dropped behind him and they walked up to the house in silence. He bent over to fit the key in the door. He saw her slanting backward on her heels, her face upturned to the powdery sky. He hadn't made a dent upon her, he thought bitterly. Had he lost her somewhere in this last year which had been devoted to Furse? If she kept her head back, she

wouldn't cry. She was shaking with pain inside. How could he know what she wanted: to be a score of different Katherines, not this single, restricted self? How could she tel) him anything? He wouldn't listen. He wouldn't have treated Furse that way. She slipped in ahead of him. Oh, God, she wailed to herself, I am so alone. And there Is no one, r one at all to talk to. Even when she was in her room, she dared not let go. The lamp, lighted, threw grotesque shadows of the furniture on the low celling. Once they had frightened her beyond believing and she had called Marvell who had, by magic, bottled up the frightening forms as ‘laddin had the genie. Now the dark uncertainties that tormented her were within herself and she controlled the quivering mucclcj of her mouth lest a single betray mg sob should bring Marvell in. Muffled by thr pillows, at last the U-ars came. The Impotence of being young swept over her until she loot all sense of bearing, cryjag out against old mistakes and misunderstanding as well as the new. There was not enough of anything to satisfy her. Marvell hated peter without understanding there was no one eis« to take his place. This was the way you Lve.i in Colcord al sixteen. Why Mil

She had never questioned the first break with Uncle Proctor, the later one with the Halls, but now she rebelled against his rules. She felt Marvell had cheated her out of something that belonged to her, belonged to her alone by heritage, and all night long, restlessly in her dreams, she kept seeking it Marvell had gone when Kit came down to breakfast the next morning. Before she left for school, she collected the money from her various pocketbooks and told Mrs. Crane that she might be late for supper. At noon she asked I’cter to drive her to the station explaining that she must keep a dentist's appointment in Boston. Not until she was In the coach did she feel nervous about her adventure. Her few memories of the house of Commonwealth Avenue were gilded over by her present desires. As she remembered little kindnesses that Proctor had showered upon her mother—unexpected flowers, candies, anniversary presents—she gave herself a more generous share of them than had ever been given her. All was light in these past moments—no dark hollow* When she recalled her favorite hour—after tea and before dinner when thj heart of the house, like some night blooming flower, had unfolded In Aunt Emily's sitting room, she never got as far as the shadowy stairs that she had been made to climb so early, each step deepening the lonely silence as the voices below faded. She remembered only the golden room with the purple carpet, where the touch of a foot or the swish of a long dress left Its mark on the deep pile. She closed the door on the drafty, black passageways, the ticking of clocks in empty room* She would burst In upon them to surprise, but she would stay on to delight She could see Aunt Emily drawing her head down to her cushiony breast and murmuring, "Katherine, my dear, you've been naughty to desert us so long.” She imagined Uncle IToctor, elegant, aloof, he would not kiss her, but surely he would bend over her hand and gravely search her face for a likeness to her mother. And who was there in Colcord to surprise and delight ? Not Mrs. Crane with her endless gossip round the kitchen table, nor the kids in school who did the same things over and over. Not Marvell, who preferred to be with Furse ail the time. Certainly not Furse. who must despicie her now a* a silly, willful child. On her way out of the North Station she raw the violets in the floruit's window. In December,* their color and perfume was at a high price, but they had been her mother's favorite and to wear tliem would n<* only be a loving gesture, it would make her look a httls dressier. A dollar-seventy-five out of her capital left her with just enough for a return ticket But I might not need that she thought d*fianUy, pinning them on her coat She stopped outside to see her refle* tton in the piste glass window and then spun around quickly.
