A whole day!” (To Be Continued.) “Then, if you are,” replied Jean cheerfully, “perhaps you can bear up against the shock of too much joy. We want you to have ‘a day out’.” “*a day out'?” repeated Claire. “What do you mean?” “I mean we're organizing 4 picnic to Dartmoor, and we want to fix it so that you can come too. Didn't you tell me that Sir Adrian was going to be away one day this week? Go- ing away, and not returning till the next day?” Claire nodded, her eyes dancing with excitement. “Yes—oh, yes! He has to go up to London on business.” “Then that’s the day we'll choose. Heaven send it be fine!’’—piously. “Oh, how I'd love it!” imeéd Claire. “I haven't been on the Moor for such a long time.” “And I’ve never been there at all,” supplemented Jean. “Nick! Nick!” Claire turned to him excitedly. “Did you know of this plan? And why didn’t you tell me about it before?” ‘e looked at her, a slow smile curv- ing his lips. “Why, I never thought of it,” he admitted. “You see’—explanatorily— “when I’m with you, I can’t think of anything’ else.” “Nick, I won't have you making barefaced love to a married woman under my very nose,” protested Jean equably.

HEADACHE A hard day at the office, and a head- ache homeward bound. All for the want of two little tablets of Aspirin! Don't be helpless when you suddenly get a headache; carry Aspirin with you. The pocket tin doesn’t take up any room, but what a comfort when it’s needed! Fatigue will frequently bring on a headache. It lowers the vitality and invites a cold. Take Aspirin and throw it off! Don’t wait until you are miserable. There is nothing in Aspirin to hurt the hegrt or upset the stomach or harm the system in any way. Your AS P doctor will tell you that! But, get Aspirin—not a substitute! Follow the proven directions to be found inside each package. They cover colds, sore throat, headache, tooth- ache, neuritis, neuralgia, sciatica, lumbago or rheumatism, muscular pains, and other pains and aches for which these tablets are a positive antidote.
