ARE BURTON knew when he re-
ceived that invitation to have
dinner with his sister and her imsb•nd
that something was in the wind.
"And when Sis promises my favorite
fried chicken and mushrooms--well,
little brother knows his leg is going
to he pulled In some way."
IAttle brother was quite right. It
w•s :lust following his second helping,
• large, fat drumstick, that Betty said
sweetly :
"Yo know, Carey, Sam and I are
going off again to France ands"
"Oh, that's it, and I am to have that
infernal bother of renting the apart-
meat for you. The scramble last time
wU like an Irish meeting, and I spent
three whole days dashing from the
omce to the apartment with an assort-
mane of apartment seekers.
• 'You're the first tion of the apart-
meat hunter's guide," laughed Sam. "I
guess wed bette ask S150 • month
and there won't be ouch a riot."
Ctroy found himself in for it, so he
became resigned, put th• advertise-
mint ha the daily papers and his own
olce address and telephone, made the
vtOry, saw Sam and Betty off and
awaltad the rush.
Thee wer two inquiries before he
reached the oflce, and along they
me until Oarey was quite fed up
telling peopl• about the apartment.
It wm the voice of ohn Wilson over
he phone, however, that prompted
Qal'@y to sle the rght tenant.
"If that apartment's the right thing,"
said Wilson, -rll send my check to-
day. Mrl. Wilson Is coming In all the
way from Ealthampton, hoping we can
sura it, and 8ld she'd be there •bout
twdve."
Iio It haPpened that Oarey waited
the arrival of Mrs. Wilson.
Of course, he had not thought she
would be such • charming woman. But
a@ eartalnly seemed charming when
• h@ stood poised In the doorway with
an lnqulrin look in bee big soft eyes.
Thiswas the momut for which
Ctrey blessed his sister for asking his
asld|tanc In renting the apartment.
• 'What • lovely apartment," she ex- [
claimed, "and a good vlew of the Hud- [
on. Oh, dear, I do hope Mr. Wilson ]
told you how very much we want it?" i
She "ildorlg eyes on Car "I

it for her.
" you and your husband seem
dflned to have drawn the prize from
the multitude, why not take the keyl I i
for good"
& tmrlous smile crinkled the fair
O'S eye
"But won't your wife want to--well
--look us over, too?"
"My sister," eoected rey, is on
the high seas."
"Oh," commented the lady. Having
get the Informatl?n, she emed more
animated. "Is thsru any way we eed

dmould ay quut£ons come up which
we mht want to ask you about?''

The rut of the afternoon seemed
both nhort and long. Always through
(uy's brifln kept running, "Thou
lhalt not vet thy neighbor's wife,"
lint tat didn't prevent h heart los-
k a beat at the very remembrance
e( hop loveUnese each time the tele-
Mmne rang.
He hoped against hope that some
UormaUon would be in demand about
the apartm#nt but it was not until
niter five that Wilson rang him up.
"I Jay, old chap," as/d Wilson, "my
wife Is tremendously taken with the
aimrtment and wants to celebrate. We
wonder if you'd waive convention and
Join as at dinner and a show. My
ltar is along and it will ust make
a foursome."
Thus It was that Oarey, armed with
two eg the daltisst, tiny nosegay• he
Gould astute, met Mr. Wilson, his wife
md sister and rted off.
Carey was about to tuck the sister,
ea he suFposed, under ! protective
wing, when Wilson stopped him with
a laugh.
"Mrs, Wilson and I have been mar-
tied five years, but I still prefer to
lake charge of her--rather than let
time other fellow do iL"
"Oh. I say," laughed Carey with •
flus that was more Joyous than
apologetic. "I supposed," he looked In-
eeiminatlngly at that wonder woman
who was not his nelgbbor's wife, "in
fact, I was led to believe---"
"'It Wall your own mistake." said

Voodoo Has Disappeared
From Haunts of Negroes
Voodoo, or hoodoo, as most of the
ignorant negroes called It, was a mix-
ture of witchcraft and primitive re-
ligion that held a sizable proportion
of our black people In its grip for
many years and up almost to recent
times, declares a writer Lu the Chi-
cago Tribune. Voodoo has disappeared
from many places where it once was a
flourishing evil Here and there in
isolated regions of the south it is
said that Voodoo rites still are prac-
ticed under cover; but though the
bulk of the negro population has been
elucated away from this form of sav-
agery, many of the superstitious be-
liefs of voodoo 'still are clung to by
the black people.
Voodoo me•n everything to the
negro of the south. It was first of
all his religion, and it included con-
Jung, sorcery, the making of charms
and egtes, the casting of spoils, the
heg of the sick, and the r/rising
of the dead. Throughout the south the
druggists of the cities and the towns
• }ways kept on hand adequate sup-
plies of sunk•root, sauafras, lode-
stone, brim•tone, asafoetida, resin,
and bluestone, to sell to the conjuring
doctors and the voodoo priestesses for
the making of Charms. It would re-
quire a large book to begin to tell of
all of the strange practices of the
priests and priestesses of voodoo. No
man or woman •vet has lved who
has had a complete understanding of
this strange institution's many rami-
fications. The lucky rabbit foot and
the breast bone of • chicken are •
part of voodoo, Just as was the wet.

MR. JONES CAN READ
AT NIGHT
•.. this statement may sound absurd.., but is it?
Until recently Mr..Jones couldn't read at nights
• . . a condition over which Mr. Jones worried. The
swiftness with which national and international affairs
were sweeping by was more than Mr. Jones could
keep pace with. He wasslippin.., the kibitzer at
round table discussions . . the lifelessness of the
party . . . the man who should know but didn't.
And why couldn't Mr. Jones read at night? A sim-
ple answer . . . TOO MUCH LIGHT . . . too many
bright lamps to glare down on the paper with the
devastin toll of drowziness, headache, and jumpy
nerves.
But now there is a vast difference. The NEW
REFLECTOR TYPE FLOOR LAMP Mr. ,lanes
bought the house for Christmas has turned the trick.
This new lamp eliminated all the harsh lares and
lurking shadows and in their places provided a soft
mellow glow that made night readin a comfort and
a pleasure. Now Mr. Jones can read for hours.
Every home should have proper lightin . . . it is
essential forood health. The NEW REFI,ECTOR
TYPE FIOOR LAMPS now on display at the local
stores provide just the light tbat is needed . . . indi-
rect light.., the kind light. Visit your local dealer
on the next trip to town and ask to see the unit for
happier homes.
