laughed cass as a mat ter of fact had m ver thought of money at all until of late when he actively and anxiously wanted to marry mary kate ohara but martin and mary kate were intimately acquainted with poverty their mothers pressing bur- ren had been theirs since actual childhood all their friends were poor were either shabby ravenous eager house holds of arrowing young persons like themselves or quiet little threadbare widows with flat purses middleaged school teachers painfully anxious about a penniless old age emaciated spinsters who carried on enterprises boarding houses dusty little millin ery shops music studies the girls mary kate knew were like herself ambitious spirited girls who left high schcol to plunge into un trained work picking up such pro ficiency in stenography bookkeeping shorthand and kindred subjects as their opportunities afforded the boys had all escaped early from last year grammar or first year high they were a grubby ungroomed lot ranging all the way from saints to pirates fighting their way through ignorance and past their own inhibitions to pre sently emerge as average husbands and fathers average citizens in a world of low averages mart was an exception of course by reason of his having finished high of his unusual intelligence and of his ambition and cass was another exception one felt that cass was going to do wonderful things make more money anyway than mart would mart mart rather wanted to serve the world do something for un fortunate sick folk but cass expect ed the world to serve him and serva him it would seen or late whether he would fp into politics some day or gamble in stocks or take somo big chance in real estate mary kate never speculated but she vaguely knew that he would do something like that and do it well mart stirred in her deep admiration and loyalty but cass so hanlsnie and poised and scornful and sure of himself was exciting tonight marked a real turning- point in her life and she was con scious of it as she sat here in the warm shabby orderly kitchen listen ing to the soft spatter and rush of the march rain leaning against darling old mart who had been her prop and stay since babyhood and smiling at cass keating who was presently go ing to ask her to marry him mary kate felt safe and happy and beloved i thought you people were going to a dance mart said heavily when the clock over the sink said nine mary kate departed to dress and he dragged himself to the entry dragged on his overcoat still damp from after noon rain and finally stumped sleepily away yawning and dull for an hour in the medical library cass combed his hair at the sink and straightened his tie and in ex actly fifteen minutes a tall girl in a shabby darkblue taffeta dress came downstairs to join him mary kates slim body was outlined by the plainly fitting frock her arms and her inno cent white throat were bare her hair was brushed into silky flame above her wide babyish forehead there was a liquid sapphire glitter in her eyes this was her our she knew it the moment she stepped into the kitchen she trembled as the dark boy got to his feet and came over to her and quite simply put his arms about her cass might be poised and scornful and sure of himself sometimes but not now now he was shaking and incoher ent and incredulous ho could not believe that any girl as wonderful as mary kato could really want to be long to him live in the simple little home he could make for her care that his coffee was hot and big chair com fortable mary kaie yon mean that well well get married ho kept saying over and over again with unsteady laughter well believe me cass keating if you and i are going to keep house in one of those new apartments in mc allister street well be married and then gales of laguhter and

tients sensitivity to a common mold has furnished the medical profession with a clew that the disease may be caused by molds which nourish in cer tain type of soil this was brought out in the recent report to the ameri can medical association of the re search work of dr h s sermon of the georgetown university school of medicine another earlier american case of asthma which was traced to a mold more than a year ago way said to be authentic although the mold was of a different type dr bernton has been testing asthmatic patients for sensi tivity to molds for the last seven years and he believes that various types of them may be considered im portant causative factors iu this dis ease the new work makes it seem likely that a number of cases of asth ma which have so far proved nonre actors to specific irritants tried out as causes may be cleared up in further studies along the new lines damp old houses dangerous the young woman who proved to have contracted this disease through six years residence in a damp and musty house where the molds had been prevalent apparently had her i nose and throat tissues sensitized to j the specific mold during this long period in europe a number of physi- cians have made researches that seem to prove that a large proportion of asthmatic patients are sensitive to molds of different kinds as this dis ease is more prevalent in the old world and people live in older houses there than in this country it seems as if there is a definite connection be tween the circumstances at any rate dr bernton points out that peo ple who might be sensitive to molds would be brought into closer contact with them there than in this country thatched roofs the close proximity of domestic and food animals to human domiciles animal food and excrement offer fertile sites for the developent of molds he says experient with sixteen molds dr bernton has had the cooperation of dr charles thorn specialist of the united states department of agricul ture in his work dr thorn has sup- plied him with sixteen types of molds which he has used in his tests on his patients in the searches he has made for their particular kind o irritant the molds referred to arc the lowest forms of plant life they are parasites upon dead or living plant and animal flatter they do not manufacture their own food as do the- other green types of plants they are microscopic in size and cause a number of other diseases in animals and humans alike one of these diseases is the ringworm which is an infection of the skin many peo ple think tnat this disease is caused by a real worm this is not so it is an infection that grows in the skin in the form of a circle which somewhat re sembles a worm curled up under the skin some of the diseases caused by molds are of an extremely tangerous nature if they attack the internal or gans of beasts or men molds can be eliminated work along the lines of dr bern- tons may prove to reveal a wealth of very important material in connection with a better understanding of somo of these diseases and it may uncover some facts regarding other diseases not now known to be cthised by molds at least this and other researches along these lines air important be cause they show that human beings should be protected toin tiie molds by living in clean ail y houses where there are no decayed materials for them to use

recently gave a list of plants which can be cultivated to cover the bare spots often seen in lawns at this season for bare areas which are shaded he describes the japanese spurge pachy- sandra terminalis as one of the best good ground covers for similar areas are the bugle ajuga genevensis sweet woodruff asperula cdorata and creeping jennie lysimachia num- rnularia any of these plants grow well in shady spots provided the trees do not take all the moisture mr mclean said when tree roots arc close to the surface it is advisable to dig up the soil and destroy tho roots this root pruning will not materially hurt the trees and the ground covers will have a better chance to grow and be come established they can then more successfully compete with the trees for moisture and plant food for dry sunny spots where the soil is poor dwarf phlox subulata the thymus and sedums aro among the best ground covers a good time for planting any of these ground covers either in the sun or shade is from soptember until november they are hardy and if planted as suggested they will become established and ready to make a good growth in the spring m wrjr- ji curse of goitre babie lorn of goitrous
