SOME °f toy readers may have heard [about the uspful hew plastics asd lubricants made of sill-: : cone; How we learn that this material 'has given amazing results in an ointment for diaper rash, chafirjg and many other skin irrigations. v. ] severe skin rashes that defied other treatment have cleared up almost miraculously with this ointment. It is also fcelng used for fievefi bed sores, and for a type" of r4sn brought op by some of the body as when the bowels mus} be‘drained through the body -wall. ' V, . ! Shields Sensitive Skin The new ointment works by • shielding the sensitive |kin from clothing, or body secretions. Frequent applications thus help the ’ sk-ih heal by Itself, and also protectilny other healing-medicines that pay be used , The material, Known «s silicdte, adheres to the skin, but does not rcait chemically so as to injure It. rUalso- keeps off moisture and does 1 not melt or stiffen in the heat or cold. Another unusual Xealjqre Is that it does not dissolve

residents place the debris in cantainers along thMr property lines. Everybody wants a clean, healthy \ looking city and everyone can vhelp in attaining that goal.

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE MISS JULIE had been puffing along, beside him, but now she lowered the: flag. “You’ll have to walk a little slower, Henri,” she said. “I’m getting too old to run the way you do.” < ", . "Excuse me, Cousin Julie,” Henri said. “I guess I’m a bit nervous.” “They say all the world loves B lover,” Miss Julie continued. “Well, I’m going to send her to Virginias,” Henri said. “That will get her away from hero for three weeks to a month, and perhaps by that time she’ll have cooled off towards this young fellow.” “Virginia?” Miss Julie asked doubtfully. “She has some friends she made at college. They’ve invited her to come up and spend some time with them.” ■ “Do you know anything about them?”: Miss Julie inquired, with the natural suspicion a Charlestonian feels for foreigners. "I’ve met them,” Henri said, "and they seemed quite respectable.” He kept a guard On his tongue so that he would not let slip the damning fact that Mr. McDevitt was a gambler. Cousin Julie would have that all over the cbuntyj "They are quite well-to-do,” he added, apologetically. “Oh, well, you can’t always pick and choose your friends in this world, no matter what they say? about it,” Miss Julie said, willing* to forgive the McDevitts for having mopey if they were otherwise acceptable. “Now, as far aS having Leonie away goes, you’d better not count too much on absence. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, they say.” “I don’t believe that,” Henri said. “Out of sight, out of mind, is what: 1 say.” ,\'l Miss Julie plodded along thoughtfully. “I’ll tell you, Henri,” she said, after a while, "there’s never been a family that was satisfiea with their children’s choice of wives or husbands. My father didn't approve of Pa, and Pa’s family didri't have any use for me. I can’t spy I was overjoyed when Annettp married Henry O’Donnell, although I dare shy she could have gone farther and fared worse; And I didn’t' like Francis’ marriage any too well.” \3 “That may be as you say, Cousin Julie,” Henri said, irritated at the crumbling, one by one, of the Supports he had hoped for. “But I’m determined to make it impossible for this: affair to go on.” “Oh, well, if you're determined,” Miss Julie said, "I suppose you might be able to stop it,” And she chuckled disconcertingly. v

0- ■ I Household Scrapbook BY ROBERTA LEE — 4 Dish Washing It is a good plan to pour boiling water over the dishes after washing.

“I don’t want Leonie corrupted. I don’t think the young man is trustworthy.” If . L I Miss Julie misinterpreted just enough to be startled. “You can’t mean that you expect such a thing to happen,” ahe said. “Young gyirls of our standing don’t—” “I don’t mean that, Cousin,” Henri said. “I know LeOnie Is good. But I don't want her to fall in with that young rascal’* Ideas. His uncle was a Unionist and he’s an unbeliever and a dangerous radical.” “Oh,” said Miss Julie, who could not conceive of any intellectual victory of the sort; she hadn't changed her mind in fifty years and was proud of it. “I wouldn’t concern myself over that.” “But there’s no telling what sort of ideas he may put into per head. And then leave her flat—and with that association on her record, nobody else will want to have anything to do with her.”\ Miss Julie refused to take this seriously. “You’ve got yourself all worked up, Henri,” she said. "It's my duty,” Henri said doggedly, "as the child’s gyuardian.” ’ “You stop worrying and pray,” Miss Julie ad vised, reflecting that as she would be praying on the other side this could not affect the outcome she was secretly favoring. “Maybe that money will come along and you can send Leonie to California or some place.” Henri opened thje gate for her and swept off his hat. "Good-bye, Cousin Julie," he said; -: ”G q o d-b y e,” Mias Julie responded. "Give me love to Heloise, and remember me in your prayers.” . | '7 ,\ •• The' letter from Mrs. McDevitt came on Monday. “What does she say?" Henri inquired impatiently. He was leaving for the office, and fie was late. Leonie handed him the letter without a word. It was full of apologies for tardiness, and it informed her that Mr- McDevitt's sister, who had been staying with them, had been stricken and was convalescing. “So you can see, my dear Leonie,” Mrs. McDevitt wrote, “that we have been rather busy- As Miss McDevitt is still weak from the effects of her long illness, it is -really' with regret that 1 have to say that I am afraid we have to put off the great treat ot having you here this summer. “We may come to Charleston fn the fall.

We’ll find same other place for you to go.” “Oh, never mind. Uncle,” Leonie said, and as he went out she dashed Upstairs to tell Heloise. » Heloise read the letter hastily. “Well, well! even the rich have their troubles,” she said. "All that fuss for nothing.” She looked at Leonie sharply. “I must say, you don’t seem to be heartbroken about ft." 7 Leonie flushed. “I’m trying to (earn to take disappointments,” she said- “I’m probably going to have > good many of them before I get < £oo old to care at all.” “About forty, I suppose you mein,” Heloise said. “You little hypocrite, Leonie. You know you didn't want to 'go in the first place!” < ' ( Leonie was silent. ”Tell the truth and shame the devil,” Heloise said. “You didn’t want to leave that young man, isn’t that the truth?” ; “Why, he’s not that much to me.” Leonie said, opening her eyes Very wide. “I can’t imagine what put that notion into your head.” i “My dear child,” Heloise said, “I wasn’t born yesterday. The way you picked up when this young ‘ man came around again would have told a blind man that you were. Infatuated with him." * Leonie was again silent. ’ “Your uncle doesn’t like this young man, as you know. He has reasons which seem very good to him. He doesn’t think the young man is reliable. He thinks the Calverts are peculiar, which is true, God knows. And he doesn’t approve of mixed marriages.” "Nothing has been’ said about marriage. You 411(1 Uncle are jumping to conclusions. Why can’t a mac and a woman just be friend*?" \ . . \ "Who said they couldn’t? But when people see two young people togethejr, they don’t think of that.” ■”1 don’t care what anybody thinks." ;i ■“lf you’re in love with this boy and he doesn’t show any signs of returning the feeling, you give him up right now. That’s my advice.” “And suppose he is in love with me?" ‘lt’s your own life, I suppose," Heloise, said. She tried out a jokIrtg manner: "Maybe you could convert him.” (To Be Continued)

CHAPTER FORTY V LEONIE took Heloise’s remark about converting Lincoln Calvert quite seriously. “If 1 began right away," she said, "he’d think I was out to get him, wouldn’t he ? And if I Wait until he asks me to marry him—supposing lie' does—and I insist upon his being a Catholic, he wouldn’t be doing it out of convictionj would he? And that wouldn’t be right.” “Yot certainly learned to argue at that college,” Heloise said. just supposing he asked you to marry him, would you—well, of course you’d insist upon the church marriage and the children being brought up Catholics.” “II st ppose 1 would.” “Yot suppose? Well, Jam disappointed,” Heloise said. “I really thought better of you;” “Waj Undergoing to insist about Ml that if'he fnaifned Miss Antoinette?” \ t ' )i “I an sure hei would have. But let that affair be a lesson to you. Don’t et anybody keep you on a string too long, pr you’ll wind up like th it” | "You know what T think?” Leonie ashed. "I think a lot of Uncle’s opposition to Lincoln pomes from a guilty conseiehce. He probably would have given in to Miss Antoinette." y f. f "Is that one of the new ideas you learned at college ?” “It’s psychology,” Leonie said. Heloise sniffed. “It must be a lot of help to you,” she said. "It helps ybu to understand people." Heloise did not think this worth discussion. "No doubt this young man will foe wax in your hands, ’’ she said. 'The Calverts have always been famois for doing just what people wanted them to do.” "They are independent,” Leonie said in a tone Os admiration she was unable to suppress. “And Lincoln is pretty obstinate. I think, though, if he really was in love with me he’d, do anything 1 wanted. He’s really very good-natured. You know. Auntie, he tries to put on an air ot being very self-centered and all that, but he’s veryednsiderate. For instance, the way he wants to do things for the poor people." “I’m sure the wings are breaking right through the back of his coat," Heloise remarked. T“Uncle thinks his hor n s are breaking right through the top of his' hat.” “Well, child, you don’t understand how our generation feels about things," Heloise said, "He’s a handsome young than and he seems pleasant enoug^i —” "He’s sweet,” Leonie said; “They’re Ml that way in the be-

~ ■ ginning,”- Heloise said, and then seeing the incredulous expression in Leonie’s eyes, she cut short the discussion. She .felt herself weakening and she did not want to come out agamstA Henri. "Don’t dp anything you’re going to be sorry' for,” she said, ana she put her arms around Leonie and kissed her. I In ner room, Leonie executed an Impromptu dance. "I don’t have to go to Virginia! I don’t have to go to Virginia!” she murmured hap-' pily. She opened the top drawer of her dresser, rummaged among the confusion, and took out a yellowed snapshot, it showed her, at sixteen, standing beside Lincoln Calvert. She kissed, it. While Leonie was getting her hopes up, and Henri was fretting iover the relentlessness of fate, Miss Susan Williams, of derogatory information, was preparing to publish the biggest scoop ot her career. Miss Susan’s lumbago was still severe, and under ordinary circumstances she would not have ventured out, but with this news in her grasp she could not wait; for people to come to see her. _ 1 7• J Her first visit was to Madame Pugno, the not-too-popular president of the ladies’ 'sewing circle at the cathedral. “1 wish,” Miss Susan said to Madame Pugno, “thgt 1 had the moral courage to tell Henri Lemay and Heloise about it. But 1 was always shy about carrying tales. I dor ’t suppose it’s any ot my business, either, but when 1 see a young girl whose family are intimate * friends ot mine being led lastray—” She wagged her head dolefully. When Miss Susan had built up the story a bit she decided to tackle Julie Gerard about it. The fat old lady had insulted her because of an innocent question con--cerning the sanity of her late sister Tessie, Who, as everyone knew, trad been stark staring mad. Miss Susan now felt that telling Miss Julie this news at first-hand would give her a moderate amount of satisfaction, I . i She did not intend to visit Miss Julie, for she wanted the meeting to seem casual. She knew the other’s naunts —the ten-cent store, certain German grocery £ t ores where delicacies were for sale cheap, and the soap premium store, where Miss Julie was inclined to look in now and then to see what she could get for the wrappers she collected. Cruising between these points, Miss Susan was soon rewarded by a sight of ner old acquaintance ambling contentedly down King I A' . : i ? ’

How are you?” said Miss Julie, guardedly, for she remembered cutting the other’s comb not vety long before. • "I’ve just begun to go out,” Miss Susan said plaintively. “You haven’t been to see me, Julie.” "Nobody told me anything about it” Miss Julie jied politely, “or I’d been , the first to come.” j • "Things go on right under your nose and you don’t know about them,” Miss Susan continued. "It. makes you -feel kind of out of things. If I hadn’t read in the paper that Sidonie Pinchot had: died, I wouldn’t have known." “Sidonie Pinchot,” said Miss Julie. “Oh, yes. Well, she was seventy-four, and she’d been complaining of dizzy spells for years. She had a lovely funeral." “Well, I’m Sorry 1, missed the funeral. She was Henri Lemay’s mother’s godchild, I believe.”'“Yes, she was," Miss Julie said, “but they didn’t get along. Old man Pinchot—” But she checked herself. Perhaps Miss Susan did not know that bit of history. J 7 / “Henri Lemay never seems to ’ know what’s going on around him," Miss Susan declared. / “Henn nas had a hard time," said Miss Julie. “The poor fellow might well be] a little absentminded now and then." - , "Yes,” said Miss Susan, “but his own niece, v After all, he’s her gyuardian.” ’ ■ ■ Torn between curiosity and family spirit, Miss Julie regarded her fixedly. t’Leonie does look a little peaky,” she said, “but not because they don’t take the very best care ■ ot her. Leonie is the apple of Hepri’s eye and always has been. She had a bad start in life, down there in Guatemala,” she explained. “Bananas.” « “I'm talking about something else,” Miss Susan said. “Is she engaged to that Calvert boy?” "Calvert?" Miss Julie inquired, blankly. “Oh, Eddie Cal ver t’s nephew." She laughed heartily. "Engaged ? What nonsense. < believe they’re friends, although of course the boy has been away a Long time.” “Well. I thought they must be,” said Miss Susan, her beady eVes glinting as she prepared to give the coup de grace. "Everybody says they go everywhere together—over to his farm, and off to Summerville, and swimming at the Isle of Palms. And Leonie without any stockings on.” ; (To Be Continued)
