Daysey Mayme
and Her Folks
By FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
THERE are pictures and poems and
songs on the theme of "Love's
Awakening."
A subject to attract keener attention
would be "Love’s First Wound." A
great many of those wounds are re
ceived before death results, and no one
can tell when the death blow finally
falls, for Love has away of rising up
gnd winking one eye when it is appar
ently ready for the tomb.
Daysey Mayme’s love for the drug
clerk had received its first wound.
She had seen him with Another! Oh,
woe is me. and as many alases as the
sympathy of the reader can spare.
She began to talk a great deal of A
False One’s Perfidy, and There Is No
One in the World One Can Trust: Is
There. Now? Did You Ever Trust Any
One, and Fail to Find Your Trust Be
trayed, etc., etc.
Then- her love received its second
wound, gasped, and died, and she pre
pared it for the tomb according to the
long-established custom.
For two days she let her hair go un
curled, and ate pickles and sighed, and
gazed with sad eyes at the moon when,
ever that luminary of love gave her a
chance.
Then, she took action. The first
thing to do was to return his gifts.
She searched the house from parlor
to kitchen, and all she found was a
book advertising cold cream. It was a
blow, but even the ’ gifts of a stingy
man must be treated according to tra
dition.
There was also a note asking her to
go to a free church concert and a
faded flower.
Daysey Mayme tied the book adver
tising cold cream in white tissue paper,
using a pale blue ribbon, which she
spotted carefully with her tears, that
* being a rule that must never be vio
lated.
The faded flower she pinned to the
note asking her to go to a church so
cial. and on the note she shed one.
two, three big round tears, each leav
ing a blot large enough for a blind
man to see.
She sent for a messenger boy and
gave him the package, lo'oklng after
him as long as he was in sight, with
her vision so blurred by tears that he
seemed to be swimming off. And when
her emotion grew beyond her control
and the tears began to flow it was as
if he were drowning.
When he had gone down tn the
waters of her grief (1. e., turned the
corner out of sight) she returned to
her room and looked around with a
sad sigh, that being also according to
precedent.
Then she picked out the very saddest
book she could find and soon forgot her
own sorrow in the greater sorrow of
the heroine.
That night Daysey Mayme ate more
supper than she had eaten in three
days, and the next morning she was
heard humming a gay little tune as
she curled her hair.
Again love had died and been in
terred according to tradition and cus
tom. Again her heart was ready for
a new occupant.

WHO does not remember her, or
his—it is more frequently her
—first dish of ice cream? As
we grow older we are probably less
fond of the delicious refection than In
our younger days, and yet, if I knew
the name of the Inventor of Ice cream,
I w ould try, in this hot weather,-to sing
his praise. He, or it may have been
she, .was a great benefactor. The dog
days must surely have been more terri
ble when there was no Ice cream to
make one forget, for a few delightful
moments, that the sun is 16,000 degrees
hot, and capable of pouring on every
foot of sweltering humanity enough
heat to enable an engine to raise a
hundred tons a mile high!
But ice cream is not an unmixed
blessing, as Dr. Wiley reminds us in his
Good Housekeeping Magazine article
for July. It is mixed in a double sense,
first in that it carries some degree of
danger, if it is too rapidly eaten, espe
cially' when one is greatly heated; and
secondly, because the universal spirit
of fraud and falsification has seized
upon this summer dish, this delight of
children and youn- persons, and made
it a means of putting more dishonest
money into rapacious pockets.
Fortunately, genuine ice cream, made
of pure materials, in a. cleanly way. Is
nutritious as well as cooling in its ef
fects and offers no danger, provided
only, as already remarked, it is
taken slowly, and w'hen one is not in an
overheated state. In France a small
dish of ice cream, taken at the end of a
meal, is popularly believed to be an aid
to digestion. Perhaps doctors would
not subscribe to that particular opin
ion—l do not know —but, at any rate,
there are plenty of doctors who eat ice
cream.
Misplaced Confidence.
One might, think, if he had a great
deal of confidence in the fundamental
goodness of human nature, that the
adulterators and subetitutors would
have avoided Introducing their mean
and dishonest, and stpmetimes no less
than satanic, methods of quick money
getting in the manufacture and sale of
a dish which offers a common pleasure
to rich and poor alike, and which is
most in demand at just that season
when all mankind feel drawn together
in the sympathy that comes from bear
ing a common burden. But such confi
dence, as Dr Wiley shows, and as we
all know, would be misplaced. The
spirit of greed is never ashamed, If it
can do its deeds of darkness in a secret
corner.
The genuine, virtue of ice cream re

“The Gates of Silence”
By Meta Si mm ins, Author of “Hushed Up"
TODAY’S INSTALLMENT.
That journey across London in the
fetid interior of the prison van! A hun
dred times in that life which already
seemed so far off Rimington had seen
the "Black Maria" pass on its gloomy
journey through the streets, looking like
a great black coffee stall van that at a
moment’s notice could let down its wood
en walls and disclose a dismal and mis
erable shop within, and had speculated
idly enough on the human contents, their
crimes and their feelings. Once as he
ha<l passed through a Westminster slum
he had seen the van. driven out smartly
from a police court yard, made the ob
ject of a sudden frenzied attack by a
couple of slatternly, aproned, and weep
ing women, who had run after It, clinging
to the step, screaming and shrieking, re
fusing to be shaken off till one had
tripped and fallen, and had been left be
hind bleeding and weeping in the mud of
the roadway. He thought of that scene
now as he stood locked into the narrow
compartment and listened to the talk of
his unseen companions.
Tragedy, grim, incredibly ugly and sor
did that was what he had always asso
ciated with the prison van. Instead, here
was laughter, something approaching
mirth—a Rebelaisan wit and a wonderful
amount of the milk of human kindness.
Os all his majesty’s guests, as the warder
with the facetiousness of his kind had
called them, the most melancholy was a
man who had only a six months’ sentence
to serve. Besides himself, Rimington
knew there was another "lifer" in the
van, as well as a defaulting solicitor who
had got a well-deserved ten years: this:
man, urbane, socially successful, accus
tomed all his life to purple and fine linen,
was the most cheerful of the lot. The
social gift that had l>een his undoing was
sparkling brilliantly during his last ride
together before the long silence settled
down about him.
Rimington. in his compartment, held
his peace and listened. He had no de
sire to join in this laughter of fools.
And as he listened, above the talk which
went on without let or hindrance from
the warders —above the rattle of the
heavy van- he heard a curious, recur
ring sound. The man who had got six
months was weeping like a hysterical
woman. He had left a dying wife behind
him in the land of the living men.
Gradually, to Jack Rimington. that
sound of weeping grew, drowning all
other sounds —seemed to gather to itself
echoes of all the women who wept for all
the prisoners in the world.
He longed to put his handcuffed hands
to his ears to shut out the bitter sound
of it.
Then the van had stopped: moved on
through a courtyard. There was a clang
and that everlasting rattle of the keys.
Jack Rimington, waiting, knew now that
the Gates of Silence had swung to be
hind him—for twenty years.

diseases of women and children, the
man who had, tor all his skill, been pow
erless to save Anthony Barrington's son.
was a comparatively . recent addition to
the number of people who "count” in
London society. The time and manner
of his arrival, however, were matters of
little moment. He had arrived, and all
London —that is. the London of rich wom
en to whom illness is a luxury, of moth
ers able to pay extravagant fees for the
satisfaction of learning that their chil
dren’s little fingers do not ache flocked
to the consulting room of the white
painted, spick and span house in the se
lect square near Harley • street that was
sufficiently removed from "Doctors’ Row”
to insure it not being overlooked or mis
taken, and not too far removed from it
lest a newcomer might be suspected of
being ostentatious or eccentric.
f’eople who consulted him once never
forsook him. With children he was ex
traordinarily popular. He effected some
remarkable cures, and. above all, he had
personality. He understood women, or at
least he made them believe he did. In a
word, he was successful, and his ap
pointment book, which in the provincial
town from which lie had migrated had
displayed dally virginal pages, in London
was as full as that of a popular actor
manager.
.Sometimes his sui t ess palled on him.
He was naturally a lazy man, and the
strain Involved by the continual stream
of patients was very considerable. Al
qualities, should not be used more than
24 hours after it is separated from the
milk. When the cream is frozen, to
make ice cream, It should be sweet
ened with SUGAR, and flavored, says
Dr Wiley. with some NATURAL,
HARMLESS material That appears
to be all there is of genuine ice cream.
The definition is plain and simple.
Luckily for consumers, there is a
great deal of good ice cream on the
market, but, unluckily for some of them,
there is also a great deal that is fraud
ulent. Much of this may not be abso-
most inevitably, but for the goad behind
him pricking hfm on. he would have
fallen out of the front rank from sheer
lack of personal ambition. He had never
felt more weary of the strain, more im
patient of the yoke, than this morning
when he entered his study and asked his
secretary for the appointment book.
Throwing himself in an easy chair, he
ran his eyes down the neatly written col
umns. No children today, thank good
ness! Women were bad enough; but
women with children! A marvelously free
day altogether—only three appointments
for the morning and only twice as many
for the afternoon. The afternoon, some
how, did not so much matter. He usually
felt fortified after lunch; besides, expe
rience had taught him that his most
strenuous patients usually came in the
morning.
“Miss Grieve. Miss Thornton. Mrs. Bar
rington.”
Dr. Merton repeated the names aloud.
Al) familiar names except the last -Mrs.
Barrington. The name had a familiar
sound, yet he failed to recognize It. Lay
ing the book down on his knee, the doo*
tor leaned back in his chair and turned
the name over in his mind. He was a big
man. and very gooil looking in the blond
way- which is so attractive to women of
a certain type. Well built and carrying
himself alertly, he looked more like 35
years of age. than the 40 his birth certifi
cate registered. His one physical defect
was that his eyes displayed that occa
sional inequality of coloring in which the
iris is partially blue and btow-n. He was
curiously sensitive on the subject, and
wore glasses solely on that account.
He Remembers.
"Mrs. Barrington!"
He brought his hand down on the
book with a smart slap. He had remem
bered now. Barrington was the name of
the artist in consultation with Heldon. A
queer man. who had been half demented
with grief over the loss of his child, and
who had been extraordinarily rude to his
wife, who was remarkably good looking
after the fashion of tile heroine of a Mae
terlinck play.
"Mrs. Barrington!” Dr. Robert Merton
repeated the name again slowly, and,

bound appointment book down on the ta
ble. A strange look had come over his
blond face, a look that aged it curiously.
He stood by the table, the tips of his sen
sitive looking hands resting on it, his red,
full lips drawn tightly together. He was
calling up a picture of the face of the
woman he had seen in that shaded room
standing by the side of the dead child,
her eyes fixed not on the child’s face,
hut on the face of the child’s father.
There had been something elusively fa
miliar in its outline; he remembered that
now-. Who was she? Was it conceivable
that she could have any part in that
past between which and the wondrously
differing present he had drawn so impen
etrable a veil?
With a sudden impatient movement of
the shoulders Dr. Merton turned away
from the table. What a fool he was!
What quarter was the wind in this
morning that he should suddenly find
himself tormented by gloomy fancies,
alarmed by fear, simply because in the
most natural way In the world a woman
who had passed through a time of great

GOOD ADVICE FOR
ATLANTA PEOPLE
People in Atlanta who have consti

stomach should use simple buckthorn

ties. Th? Jacobs’ Pharmacy Company
made up of starch, gelatin, skim milk,
antique eggs and coal tar dye. Prob
ably it will not kill you if you eat it.
BUT YOU WILL BE ROBBED JUST
THE SAME. If a dealer sells you such
stuff under the name of ice cream, and
charges the price of ice cream for it,
although it has cost him much less,
what standing could he have in a court
of real justice? Yet it appears that he
may have a very solid standing indeed
In some of the so-called courts of jus
tice which now exist; at least, that is
what I gather from the following state
ment of Dr. Wiley:
"In a case brought in the District of
Columbia by the health officer against
the manufacturer of a debased ice
cream, which had a very low content of
butter fat and a very high content of
bacteria, and which contained a thick
ener to make it hold up for an indefinite
period, testimony was given to the ef
fect that ice cream could be properly
made without having either milk or
cream In it, and the judge of the 'court
upheld this theory and refused to apply
the standards which have been fixed by
the department of agriculture under the
authority of congress.”
A Better Decision.
However, it is reassuring to be in
formed that a Federal court judge in
Cincinnati has since then upheld the
standards as legal. More strength to
that good Federal judge's arm will be
the sentiment of all lovers of ice cream.
Dr. Wiley tells you-all about the “du
bious" kinds of ice cream and what
they contain, and all about what real
ice cream is, and about the law that
some overconfident persons have
thought would suffice to protect the
innocent public in this matter -and this
is just the time to read all that. But
don’t let anything that you read dis
suade you from eating ice cream when
you feel like it, and are in a condition
to do it —only make sure that you arc
getting exactly w hat you pay for. Ami
if you can’t be sure of that, then make
your own ice eream, which is not so
very difficult.

Dear-Miss Fairfax:
For about three years a young
man worked near the office in
which I am employed. During this
time we never .-poke to each other,
not having been properly intro
duced. Now. however, he has a
position in another section of the
city, and I do not see him any
more. He has sent me a card, but
I diil not answer it. I now find
that I care very much for this
young man. and I would like to
know if it would be proper for
me to start a correspondence with
him. _ V. B. S.
Show him the courtesy of answering
his card. An introduction is usually
necessary, but it seems to me that a
business acquaintance of three years is
a good substitute and you will do noth
ing wrong by writing to him. But let
it be only a friendly little note, and it
he does not reply let the matter end
