Service for Self
By A. MARIA CRAWFORD
"Just see what thev have done to
my buffet, John. They're perfect
vandal. And they pushed my new
gate lee table against a bier chair
.and chipped a piece out of one of
the legs. Uh, Ira just sick from
worry over these awful painters and
wallpaper hangers. No, I don't want
any meat. Just a class of Iced tea
and some salad, Neeta," she said
to the maid who was serving
luncheon.
Better have some of this steak,

something substantial." said Dr.
John Hodge to his pretty, complain-

It is just like stoking a furnace with
paper a flash of flame and no heat."
. . Don t dictate to me what 1 shall

"I know what I want. If you had
all this upheaval to look after, to
watch these stunid old men who
seem bent on" ruining every piece of
mahogany that 1 have, you woulun t
' feel like eating red meat and pota-

a hard time. Both of the maids
were cross all morning because the

house. I just wish that I hadn t at

Her big, bearded blond husband
looked at her appraisingly. "You
wanted it done, you remember,
Eleanor. I suggested that labor
was high now. paints and paper, too,
hut you seemed so intent on having
he house done over that I willingly
put up the money. Don't worrv
about trivial things. Puton yoejr
hat and go on a call with me- It
, will do you a world of good to' get
away for a few hours."
. "Something is sure to go wrong if
1 leave the place, John, ihere had
been a tone inv his vc-ice that made
her wary of any more complaints.
"But I think I'll go, anyway." She
rose wearily. "A few more scratches
can't make much difference."
"The house is beginning to look
fine," cpmmented Dr. Hodge, en
couragingly. "I like the, ivory ceil
ing in this blue room very much in-
;"They made an awful mess stip
pling it. They dragged their lad
tiers around so much. And they
flecked some paint on the walls,
too."
"Get your hat if you are going
with me," said the doctor, rising. "I
have to go out to Bull's Gap. It's
a pretty run. I'm sure that you will
enjoy it and come back refreshed
and eager to take up your work
here again."
"I'm thankful just to have" a
chance to sit down," she whined
when they were seated in the smart
eight-cylinder roadster. , "I'm so
tired."
The man said nothing, adjusted a
Key hi me iock, stepped on me gas
and pulled slowly out into the street.
It was a cloudy day and a cool,
stimulating breeze blew from the
-Heat by mountains, carrying tempo
rary relief to fhe sweltering city.
They raced along the smooth road,
between rustling fields of ripening
corn, tnrougn singing, swittiy flow
ing little creeks, past ancient farm
houses from whose placid fronts the
white paint was slowly peeling away
and so on to the low lying ridges
that skirted the mountains beyond.
In plowed fields men. and women,
too, leaned on their hoes as the car
dashed by abd looked stolidly, per
haps enviously, atypeople who ap
parently did not earn their bread by
the beaded sweat of their brows.
Little children looked up inquiringly
from their play, their round, f"osy
faces breaking into excited smiles
when the doctor waved a friendly
greeting. '
Presently Eleanor looked around
at him wonreringly. "Wherever you
go, you carry sunshine and happi
ness," she said reflectively.
"Not always," he amended. "But
I try, just the same. It is a doc
tor's business of life to substitute
service for self."
"It ought to be everybody's busi
ness." she said, gravely comprehen
sive, i
The petty worries concerning
house cleaning and furniture wreck
ing paperhangers and painters
seemed to submerge in the engulfing
peace that stole into her heart and
mind at sight of the quiet; shadowy
country roads and inviting little
lanes fragrant with summer bloom.
Queen Anne's lace spread its fra
gile loveliness beside the dusty pike.
Koses clamored riotously over sag-

orchards where mellow fruit hung
like gold and crimson Christmas

ture, with djvine, world-old healing
in her touch, soothed the woman's
impatient, troubled soul.
They drew up before a tiny bun
galow, nestling like a squat brown
hen on the side of a ridge. There
was a bed on the wide front porch.
The doctor picked up his medicine
bag and started up the rocky little
path that led to the steps. Soon the
waiting woman in the car heard the
boom of his big, cherry voice as he
told a funny story to the patient on
the bedy His hearty laughter was
echoed by a feeble, hollow sound
that told its own sad story. It grew
so quiet on the porch that Eleanor
Hodge turned her head to see what
had become of the doctor., He Was
sitting on the bed, little rubber tubes
in his cars as he leaned over the
patient, a stechoscope on the flat
chest registering the stage ol the un
mistakable disease. Then all at once
there came a paroxysm of coughing.
A young girl, rose and held a'little
pan to the man's mouth. When it
was over, she set the pan down and,
cradling the man's head in her
arm. turned the pillow and defcly

Maid him down again.
..- The doctor's voice sounded again,
telling a storyof far countries which
he had visited, of strange sights he
had seen, of interesting people he
had encountered. Eleanor Hodge
reflected just what that visit meant
to the sick man and to the watch
ful, waiting woman there. It was
like a breath of the big outside
, world beyond the circling rim of
their little circumscribed sphere,
something to think about, something
to make them forget, for a few min
utes, the grim tragedy that stalked
beside them there. .
The girl walked awkwardly to the
gate with the doctor, an ugly cotton
shawl held clumsily before her'. She
could not have been more than 18.
Her eyes were as blue as the summer
sky above the little brown bungalow;
her smoothly brushed hair, the color
and sheen of corn silk, yellow in tha
fields. , 7
"Do you think he can live until
the baby comes?" she asked eagerly.
"I'd be so glad just to have him see
it. He wants to stay that long so
so much, doctor."
The doctor laid his square, blunt-
fingered hand kindly on her shoul
der. "While there is life, there is
hope," he said. "If he does, not
have another hemorrhage, . there is
a chance for him to live that long,"
he promised her smilingly.
, She fumbled in the pocket of her
coarse blue dress. "How much do
we owe you? she asked, pulling out
a worn, shining old black pocket-book.
"Nothing." he told her. ;"Buy
something for the baby." )
Eleanor Hodge smiled at the
grateful girl through eyes that were
suddenly blurred. I m going to
send you a little dress," she said,
chokingly. 1
Jshe looked back at the girl as
she walked heavily up v the rockv
path. A ruing wind was whippinp
her scanty skirts around her ankles,
swollen a little and bulging over
her rough low shoes.
A field lark sent thrill, vibrating
notes across a meadow. A little
rabbit scurried across the winding
road.
Eleanor laid her hand on her hus
band's knee. "I complained over a
bit Jbf scratched wood that can be
replaced; over flecks of paint, invisi
ble to every eye but mine, on the
walls at home. And she she is
watching him die, every day, hoping
that he will live long enough to see
his baby. I I'm so ashamed, John,
and sorry."
"She's a brave girl," he said. "The
boy contracted T. B. during the war,
Of course he ought not to have mar
ried. It's rushing him sway. But
he loved her.
"I'm never going to burden you
with little household worries again.
I'm going to count my blessings

said the woman, contritely. "I'm go

caring for the teeth is
in childhcfod.4 One of a .
parent's first duties is to
take a child to a good den
. tist earjy and have the
teeth examined. '
" In this way irregularities can be treated, and the
child saved from permanent disfigurement. Protrud
ing teeth, "squirrel" teeth, irregular teeth, impacted
teeth and other conditions that often occur should be
corrected in childhood, and the child saved the perma
nent embarrassment of what is often called "an ugly
mouth."
The "baby" teeth need watching, for the perma
nent teeth are influenced and affected by those which
come first. It is a mistake to think "baby" teeth are
of little importance. Neglect in childhood often means
the loss of the second teeth in middle life. 1 ,
