Meredith grim well grinned
literally from eur to ear. Ills
huge, jovial features beamed benig
nantly on all alike.
But on this rosy morning Meredith’s
puffed cheeks were slashed by an un
alloyedly broad smile. His mischie
vous eyes gleamed wickedly as he
tackled the Intellectual passivity of
Stanley Worth.
' “Terribly depressed, Stan,’’ he
mourned gleefully. "An’ it’s a woman."
Stanley removed a cigar from his
lips with deliberate precision. “A
woman," he repeated, with elaborate
emphasis.
"A woman,” Meredith confirmed
gayly. “She’s a Jewel—strong on eats,
but one o’ them dieting kon-o-seers.”
Stanley half-laughed; knowing Mere
dith so well, he couldn’t be positive
that this was the forthcoming Joke.
“You mean,” he felt safe to correct,
“she’s a dietetics! connoisseur.”
"See here—a letter I got a few days
back,” said Meredith, “Ju6t after we’d
been out an’ had some oysters—raw.”
Stanley took the tinted, folded sheet
and read the contents. His face re
mained calm until he reached the sig
nature, when a brief arch of his eye
brows betokened recognition,
Dear Dith: So enjoyed feeing you
enjoy thoee oyetefe. It WAS A fftAl
treat Tour delightful, Ingenuoua
pleasure was more than refreshing.
But you like oysters so well—did you
ever hear of the Eocene oyster? It’s
a marvel, indeed. I try to Imagine an
Eecene oyster reposing lusciously
within your sensitive, experienced
mouth—try to picture the real enjoy
ment your faee must reflect when you
contentedly munch that oyster of oys
ters—really, Dlth', the prospect In
trigues me. If only you could obtain
one Eocene—but no; It Is too much to
hope, dear boy.
As ever, CELIA R.
That signature, “Celia R.,” altered
matters for Stanley.
"Well,” urged Meredith, seeing that
Stanley had finished, "did you ever eat
an Eocene oyster7”
Stanley hesitated, vaguely puckering
his brows. "No," he said slowly, “I
don’t believe I ever did.”
“Imagine 1” rambled Meredith ex
ultantly. “Not a waiter, not a chef,
not a soul I’ve met can tell what an
Eocene oyster really la like. But Celia,
ah!” He rolled his round eyes angel
ically cellingward.
“This dietetical connoisseur,” hinted
Stanley. "Has she—is she otherwise
as great a genius?”
"Oh, sure,” granted Meredith, with
wide generosity. “She really likes me,
too.”
siamey ponaerea mentally, wonder
ing for what under the healthy Bun
Celia R. could liflve come to "like”
Meredith Grimwell in so startling a
manner. The last time he had seen
her—a dazzling light broke through
the cloudy membranes of his thoughts.
She had said, "You think you are so
Intellectually aloof, Mr. Stanley
Worth. Let me warn you that If ever
any of your dear friends come within
my reach—” and she had shrugged her
white-powdered shoulders In resentful
hauteur.
“Don’t you think,” asked Stanley,
feeling his way with extreme care,
"don’t yon think you might be mist
taken about her liking you?”
"Oh, no,” with bland assurance. "We
have so many tastes in common.”
Stanley half smiled, but with a trace
of pity. "Would it—hurt—so very
much—if you should be mistaken?” he
queried slowly.
Meredith looked at him with a star
tled expression. Then he laughed with
all-permeating Jelly-shakings, a laugh
that reached every nook and cranny
of his robust person. “Easy come,
easy go, Stan,” he replied blithely.
Stanley heaved a profound sigh of
relief.
“Now tell me," demanded Meredith,
“tell me what an Eocene oyster really
Is. That’s what I came for, you know.
I hate to parade the name without
somethin' bqck of It.”
Stanley led the way to his well
provisioned library.
"Didn’t know you Invested in cook
books,” ventured Meredith slyly.
"I didn’t,” briefly gruff. "Eocene oy
sters don’t grow In pantries.”
Meredith produced the pink-tinted
letter. "It’s spelled E-o-c—”
”1 know,” said Stanley. "But read
that over again. Note very carefully
what she says about the oyster, where
she Imagines It to be, how she thinks
It will look.” ;
Meredith looked at hts friend in a
puzzled, baffl'd way. He referred to
the letter—“reposing within your sen
sltlve, experienced meuth—”
“Enough,” Interrupted Stanley, lift
ing a4 book from a shelf. He blew off
a tiny cloud of dust. “Are you ready?’
he asked, thumbing to "E” in the
Index.
“Shoot ?’
“Well” — Stanley paused dramat
ically. "An Eocene oyster Is known
only as a fossil. It lived In Eocene
time, ottperiod of geological history.”
He paused’ again, to favor Meredith
with a conciliating eye. That worthy
was scrutinizing the ceiling; an incipi
ent ear-to-enr smile curving at the cor
ners of his wide mouth. “An Eocene
oyster,” Stanley went on,» "Is thirteen
Inches long, eight inches wide and six
Inches deep.”
The incipient smile broadened, and
Meredith slapped his thigh. "Bull’s
eye 1” he exclaimed boisterously.
“Thank you, Stan, old boy. I had be
gun to suspect. And I always heard
a sense of humor would kill any ro
mance 1”

radio waves as pacifiers. A mother
of six children, the oldest eleven years

child, aged fourteen months, Is already
a fan. Mrs. Robert Barber of Rensse
laer, N. Y., writes as follows:
"I wonder If it would Interest you to
know that I think I hate the young

teen months old and she walks to the
desk where I have my crystal set and
points for me to open It. When there
is anything she sits with the ear
phones Just as nice as any large per
son, but ns soon as it stops she takes
off the phones and starts to scold for
more.
"I have six children and they all like
to listen. I have two sets of phones
and they separate them.”
