drink of whiskey pinned when peter refused to join him tossed off the raw spirit with a grimace come along tack had said and he had brought peter cut on the roof they had looked out as peter was looking out now and as tack would never look again off in the east had been the ribbon of the queensboro bridge lighted as it was now with crawling specks of light as cars came and went and beyond it the- smoky endless rabbit warren of queens far away in the north peter could sec the lovely graceful arch of the hell gate bridge approached on either bide by its long high trestles with a lighted train that seemed to crawl along upon it between them and the park rose the buttresses of the new let back skyscrapers that looked against the deep blue sky like the fantastic castles in a maxfield par- rish painting in their ears was the low rumble of distant traffic and from time to time the nearby mutter ing of a train on one l or the other they stood by the parapet tack looked down easy

on his part certainly with out asking questions peter picked up stray bits of information about mar tha and tack until gradually what he learned enabled him to visualize their life more or less as a whole gave him a reasonably complete pic ture of what it had been and what it had become he saw a good deal of them after that dinner on the roof and that cur ious disconcerting vaguely revelat ory talk with tack as they stood by the parapet he dined with them rather often he gave dinners and theatre parties himself that no mat ter how many people he might ask were really for martha he met them everywhere at dances at big parties when he was making a round of the night clubs as most nights he did he was almost sure to run into them somewhere betty rogers told him things so did his sister carol wentworth was careful and adroit she knew peter and his sensitive oldfashioned feel ing about things she never repeated the mistake of that first day by coup ling marthas naiie with rosss or any other mans betty with no such need as carols to curb her tongue was franker and those two of course werent the only ones from whom peter heard things no one actually suggested that martha was having an altair with ross but it was in the air that she was in love with him and he with her and that tack was bitterly and re sentfully jealous but for some rea son powerless to put an cml to what ever was going on tack and martha it seemed to peter if what he heard about them had any truth in it at all must be living in the curiously precarious handtomouth fashion that is so amazingly common in new york am ong young couples of their sort their credit was good enough fdr them to be burdened with debt because though they had very little money money was all around and behind them both tack was downtown with thayer ibben and company but peter gath ered that in spite of his name he had only a job not a partnership he had his salary and the income of a trust fund established for him by his fa ther dead some years the thayer fortune which was a large one hadnt descended to tack yet and whether it would or not depended wholly upon his mother she according to betty was a strongminded bony dowager who adored tack as utterly as she disap proved everything he did she period ically raked tack over the coals and payed off his debts she cordially dis liked martha shes high church shes abso

of yourself hay fever season strictly speaking there is no such thing as hay fever hay is not the cause and fever is not a symptom of the ailment to which that name is ap plied this misuse of language how ever lends small comfort to the vic tims of various pollens who must live for extended periods during the warm season with a pair o disagreeebly ir ritated eyes an unruly nose a multi plicity of sneezes and perhaps asth matic breathing hay fever comes ii three different waves one in the spring another iu the early summer and the third iu the late summer and early autumn the first is the shortest and mildest the second somewhat longer and more se vere and the third the longest and most severe of all the cause of hay fever is pollen from flowers in general the severity or degree of trouble it causes depends upon whether the pollen comes from j trees grass or weeds the mild spring hay fever wave results chiefly from pollen that escapes from the blossoms of willow birch and elm the early smmer wave results from grass pollens blue grass orchard grass timothy sweet vernal and red top being the principal offenders the worst and last wave usually he- gins about the middle of august and continues until frost for it tho ubiquitous ragweed is mostly re sponsible some people are affected by one par ticular pollen others are victims ot two or more kinds of pollen still others are affected by dandruff from various animals and even the dust from feather pillows some people suffer only during ragweed season but get no relief when protected against the ragweed pollen this hap pens when a person is affected say by dandruff to which he is exposed all year but can still resist it well enough to develop no symptoms until ragweed pollen breaks down the resistance protective measures are not sufficient to give relief unless both causes of the trouble are controlled relief depends upon an accurate de termination of the cause of hay fever to simply take a series of treatments without knowing the exact cause is like shooting at a covey of birds with out aiming especially at any one a miss more often than a kill once the exact cause including all factors involved is known practicable and permanent relief measures can be taken in nearly all cases these range from vacations for those who can af ford them to preventive treatments with protective injections it re-
