By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. A CERTAIN amount of activity is important, even for a person confined to his bed. Often it is good for the sick person to sit un or walk: about for short periods if he can.

areas of pressure, subh as the\ heels ana the others named above, whenever a very sick person is-confined to bed, dr when a patient has a disorder of the nerves or blood circulation. Preventive Care These patients should be turned and moved frequently. The bedding should be kept and the skin clean and dry. A mild antiseptic powder is allo extremely useful. ! " Pressure on the hips or heels can be reduced with loosely inflated rubber rings placed over the areas vwhere bed are likely to appear. y \ In treating bed sores, the right diet is extremely important. It should include a high percentage, of proteins, with adequate amounts of vitamin C. It has been found that a cod-liver qil ointment and mild sunlight help heal a bed sore more quickly.

' - > SYNOPSIS Dirk, depressive moods have recently engulfed Gray Austen, and Rena, his bride of less ’ than * year, is greatly worried. Is ne brooding over his lame •£K. gained along with glory in the war? Is he yet grieving for his first wife, long dead and gone? Reha ponders her problem as she walks her dog along a New York street. She is startled when young Mr. Ordway, their neighbor, steps out of the shadows to greet her. CHAPTER TWO RENA looked around and up; at a big dog’s owner, big and tall, with a tweed overcoat changing open and a soft hat in ,hiq hand. The wolfh o u n h leash wa s wrapped around the other hand, and his collar gripped firmly in gloved fingers. “Gawkin wouldn’t hurt a fly,” •said the hound’s owner. ; “I notice you have him pretty tight?’ said Rena, responding to the man’s smile with one of her own. > The big man was youngish, and his face had a skin-grafting job all the way down his left cheek. He had tawny hair; he looked at her from lively blue eyes, halfClosod. Q \ “Many a time I used Co meet old' Mr. Austen walking his dog, when I was walking the pup we had then—police dog it was. *Old Mr. Austen and I had many a good laugh together.” \ ] . “My name’s Ordway,” he continued. He jerked his head backwards: “We live across the street there. Always lived , there, since this region was built up—l mean the family has. Austens too. I understand there are Austens there again.” Yes, I’m Mrs. Austen?’ “Oh. Yes.” He glanced at her briefly. “Hfe caught it worse than some of us. I’Ve seen him out walking the pup. I suppose that’s your husband.” “Yes, Gray.” “Well . . .” Conversation halted. Then the young man said politely: “Got to be getting on «vith .this brute, he needs more of a stroll than yours does.” . The wolfhound had stood all this time like a statue, his chin up and his eyes fixed on nothing, Rena said: “He’s beautiful.” • ; “Yes, nice feller.” i Mr. Ordway smiled at her again, replaced his hat, and went off up the block. Rena unwound Aby from' the garbage can, and followed at a distance. ' As she and Aby climbed the front steps of the house, she hoped the Austens were down in the basement; if they were in the library Aby would rush in, and somebody—Jerome or Hildreth—would call to her. That was routine. They didn't like her, she was sure they thought Gray a fool td have married her, but they put up & show. aid it was her imagination. Even the servants ignored her as much as they could, And how they adored Gray, all of them! Rena had a good idea of the

o j 4 1 Modern Etiquette I BY ROBERTA LEE oi ; : Q. When should a woman re*, move her hat at the theater? \ A. It is permissible to, wehr one’si hat until just before the ciirtaini rises, but it may be removed soon-i er. At motion picture theaters! where the performance is contin-s nous, many thoughtful women move their hats even before reach*; ing their seats. \ ’ Q. To settle an argument, wil| you tell me the correct way in( which to eat peas? Is it ever props \er to eat |hem with a spoon? | A, It is customary always to eau vegetables with the fork. This ap| plies to peas, too. ' * ■ ; Q. I have sometimes noticed sfj man holding a cigar or pipe in his; mouth while he is talking with t woman. Isn’t this considered Verjl rude? • ’( A. In conversation with a woin|

kind of thing they said in the kitchen: What a little nobody of a gold digger, to catch Mr. Gray, God love him. The front door opened finally to her ring—Norah would have been in the basement getting the cocktail tray ready. The wrinkled Norah admitted het)- glumly; Aby dashed past for the library. Jerome’s voice called to her in his patronizing way: ,J Hello there, Chick, come on back.” If she didn’t somebody would come upstairs after her. She left her coat and hat on the hall bench and went along the passage past the drawing-room on the right, past the basement stairs on the left, through the little dark square ante-room with its book-cases surmounted by busts of Roman worthies, into the big library. Nobody moved as Rena came and stood beside Gray’s Chair. He was lounging far back in it as \usual, his braced leg out in front of him, cigarettes on the little table that would hold his cocktail and his canape, a book in his hands. He looked very morose, and ' didn’t lift his face to look up at her. His dark eyes were fixed on the. fire. \ Jerome sat in the middle chair, with Aby slavering at his feet; Aby knew that bits of toast and perhaps bacon would soon be coming his way. A hateful, conceited fellow Rena thought Jerome was; tall, dark, heavy and getting heavier, with thick jowls and a slightly over-hanging upper lip. He had none of Gray’s beauty or charm, but he had personality, no doubt of it. Hildreth was lighter than the others: rust-colored hair and eyes, a sallow freckled skin, shallow jaws, an ungainly figure; her feet were clumsy, yet she always crossed her knees and had one foot out as if to be admired. Jerome and Hildreth were talking about their trip home to settle up a deceased aunt’s estate. Rena, looking down at her husband, wondered how in spite of his suli len moods she had ever fallen out of love with him. His narrow, pale face was so appealing, clear and regularly featured as a statue’s; his eyes so beautifully set, his mouth so firm, his hair so smooth and fine. What was he reading? ' Her book—one of the few she owned. She kept it up in their sitting-room, and she didn’t re member that he had ever noticed it She remembered very well how she had come to buy it She thought of the day in the publisher’s office where she worked, the day she had been sent into the editor-in-chief’s room with a manuscript. The author was there, and several other people, and as she came towards the door she heard them all laughing at something the author had been saying; he was leaning up against the window ledge with his hands in his

CHICAGO, (UP)—Four officials of theihll-white suburb of Cicero—» where: race riots flared last summer—have been found guilty by a federal court jury of denying or conspiring to deny civ|l rights to a Negrq family. The juyy deliberated five hours Wednesday night before returning the and acquitting the fifth defendant, a Cicero policeman. \ The trial was the result of riots that occurred when Harvey Clark Jr.', a Negro, tried to move into a Cicero apartment.

The author had thought it was s “Seaton.” He said: “My god, Miss Seaton, I hope you have no aunt?” Somebody aaked: “Now what? Why shouldn’t she?” But she had answered him seriously: “It isn’t spelt that way.” I Then they had both begun to laugh, and he had said: “Miss Seton, I am your friend for life. Shall we Bend these people to night school ?” • “I just happened—” I ‘T happen to read Walter de la . Mare too. You tell me if an aunt br anybody else bothers you." She had hurried out, smiling; sand of course she had asked about him in the ofllce, and they had told her a good deal. She had bought his book when it came out, and Bhad enjoyed it very much. Gray never read such things, though; gje never read all the interesting prime books up In their sittlngt'oom. The bookshelves were ip-ammed with them, trials and 51d and new. sth was saying: ”... and Iray, there’s something to for a stiff knee. If it hurt, I mean.” k so?” Gray’s eyes turned her, the whites showing. “Alibis you out of anything.” “That’s so,” agreed Jerome. “Yow don’t have to travel across a continent to collect seven hundred and fifty dollars and crate up a houseful of stuff that nobody wants. But you'll be paying part Os the storage oh it, my boy.” “Seven hundred and fifty all she had?” asked Gray without interest ; “I told you; she lived on the interest out of a trust fund, and the principal now goes to village Improvements. I don't know how she ever saved seven fifty, hanged if I do.” Hildreth remarked: “I can send for the stuff, Gray, if you ever get sick of me and want me to set up in a place of my own.” i Gray said with a dryness unusual to him where his brother and sister were concerned: “I don’t think Uncle’s bequest would run to two establishments.” \ “Darling Gray, you know I was joking. ,And as a matter of fact some of that furniture isn’t bad.” “Wouldn’t fit in here,” said Jerome, looking around him and •' smiling. ’Gray said: “Throw it out as far i as Pm concerned. This may be as bad as you and Hil say, but it suits me.” ’ • ' “Bad but fascinating,” said Hildreth, “and very comfortable. Oh, the wonderful beds.” • “Thank God Uncle liked you, old hoy,” said Jerome. (To Be Continued}
