A. last night in the high school as- s2mbly room. = Mrs, Fohn-Han- son had posted a chart to illus- trate the foods that are required for a balanced diet. “About the time of the war,” be- gan Mrs. Fohn-Hanson, “we start- ed to discover how numerous were the physical defects when men were examined for service. More emphags was paid to health, and the study of hygiene and phys- iology in schools changed from a formal study to closer application to our own bodies.” Children’s Weight Mrs. Fohn-Hanson discussed the question of weight in chaldren, suggesting that not too much em- phasis should be placed on weight as there was a difference between Real THRILL!

As long as a child gains consistently, there is no cause for alarm if he is slightly under- weight. Fifty percent of children won's eat but Mrs. Fohn-Hanson advis- ed that the child should not be coaxed or urged or mad: a fuss over at the table when he refused | to eat as the average child enjoys attention to himself Diet Fads Many of the fads for rzducing diets are not healthful and even the health of the experimenter. Everyone should have plenty of milk, fruit and vegetab! ac- | cording to Mrs. Fohn-Hanson, and | the rest of the foods will take care of themselves, such as meat, pota- tees, white bread, butter and su- | gar. |~ At the conclusion of her speech, | Mrs. 'Fohn-Hanson passed out com> pamphlets which are pub- lished by the Department of Azri- culture. Tag Day Endoricd After some discussion of ways to earn money, Mrs. William Spain made a motion that a tag day b2 held and President Mrs. Jack Langseth re-appointed the same committee as acted during the summer, with Mrs. J. R. Guerin, chairman. It was decided to purchase a pic- ture to be besiowed on the var- jous rooms for best par:nt attend- ance at the meetings. The room| with the best record at the end of the year would receive the pic- | ture into their permanent posses- sion. Mrs. Fraser and M eith were named to buy the picture. After Mrs. Guerin suggested that! a new pitcher for pouring coffee was needed, it was voted to buy one. Nevember Commiitee Mrs. E. E. Engstrom, Mrs Holmer and Mrs. W. R.

She lifted her chin and took & step forward. All the bolts and bars in the world weren't going to keep her from Jim. “May I come in?” Nesta etood where she was, the foor half closed. “Im Mrs. Riddell—but I don’t know who you are.” “I'm Caroline Leigh. I've got 8 message from the Elston cottage hospital, May I come in?" Nesta Riddell had no intention of lalking about the Elston cottage hos- pital at Min’s front door. She stepped back, let Caroline pass her and, shutting the door, showed the way Into the parlor. Caroline turned to face her, flushed with success. There, beside the hearth, was the coalscuttle, as bright as a new pen- | ny. She held out the bill. “I think you dropped this bill. The | nurse asked me to give it to you.” Nesta glanced at it, frowned, and erushed it in her hand. “Thank you—you needn’t have troubled; it didn’t matter.” “Oh, but I was coming to see you anyhow.” “You were coming to see me? What for?” Carcline stayed silent. Her feeling | of success drained away. She felt as If she were on the edge of saying something.very important. Once she had said it, she would not be able to take it back. Yet she must say it | Only what it was that ehe must say | she did not really know. Then she said it. “Where’s Jim?"”" Nesta’s hand closed hard upon the erumpled bill.” Jim wasn’t here, thank goodness. It was no more than' ten minutes since he had barged ont of the house. Jim! She’'d i teach other women to come aftef r husband. She repeated the name In & most offensive voice. = “Jim?" Caroline colored brightly. “Mrs. Riddell—please—I must see | sin, Jim Randal. The nurse said— “What does she know about it?! + He's my husband.” “Are you sure?” Nesta laughed angrily. “What do you suppose?™ “The nurse said—" | “And I say, what does she know about it?” | “Pletise let me speak. The nurse | said there was a piece of Jetter in his | pocket with the signataré Caroline. | 'm Caroline, and senit him & letter signed just like that, so.you'see—" ESTA'S manner changed. She LN gmoothed away her frown and said in her best company manner: “It's a pity you'vé had &0 much trouble for nothing. The letter was | from a Miss Caroline Biissell, who is | & cousin of mine.” Dejection flowed in upon Caroline tike a fog. It all came otit so pat— Miss Caroline Bussell—a cousin of mine. ... Bhe couldn’t have invented a name like'Caroline Bussell all in one flashing instant. She lif her head as if to get fog and asked: “Have you got the lefter here?” “No, I haven’t. I don't keep old torn bits of paper.” “It I could have seen it—" said Caroline very earnestly. She was pressing her hands together, palm to palm, and finger ‘to finger. Her eyes under her lftle brown tweed cap, the bright clear brown of peaty water, gazed pleadingly at Nesta. Her hair was the same bright color. Nesta dld not answer in words. She smiled a lttle. “It you would lend me a pencil— it T could write my name—you'd know i it was the same.” “Do you think I don’t know my own husband?” said Nesta. ‘What did one say to that—what could one say? Of course she must know her own husband. Caroline's hope was & pricked bubble. She had made a fool of herself to a woman with a rasping voice and eyes like bits of tin. . Outrageous Fortune Pathicia WentworTh She began to ga slowly towards ‘ the door. She was wearing a loose brown tweed coat. She hugged it round her as if she were cold. Nesta stood aside to let her pass, Jbut just on the threshold Caroline turned, her color changing brightly. “Have you got a photograph of your husband?” “No, I haven’t.” “Not even a snapshot?” “I've said no, haven’t 1?” Caroline rested her hand upon the jamb of the door. Something in her would not take Nesta’s no; she couldn’t tell why. Eager words came hurrying to her lips. “Mrs. Riddell—I don’t feel as if I could go away without seeing him. Won't you try and understand how I feel about it? It's' such a strong feeling—I can’t shake it off. If I go away like this, I shall keep on think- ing about him, and about my letter— the one I wrote and signed Caroline. And I shall keep on thinking, ‘Sup- pose it was Jim." But if I were to see him, I should kaow.” | The hard color rose in Nesta's| cheeks. said. “Because if you are, I've had enough. Jim Riddell’s my husband,‘ and I've got my marriage lines %o prove it. I don't kniow who you are, and I don't care. Calling yourself a ting off as any other—and you may be one of Jim’s girls, or you may be touched in the head. ““But this is my brother’s house and I can do with your room instead afother woman’s husband and giv- ing me the lie about him to my face! Let me tell you that you'll not see/ him, not if you were to stay here all ddy. He's got something better to do than sit about at home waiting for his lady friends to drop in. He's got cur keep to earn and a job to go to. this.” Caroline’s hand dropped from the déor, She looked taller. She was pale. She said, “Good morning, Mrs. Riddell,” and walked out of the house and down the gravel path to the car. ESTA RIDDELL had time to wonder what had happened to Jim during the hours that followed. When at last an uncertain step sounded on the gravel path, she ran to the door, anxiety flaring into anger. “Where have you been?” she be- zan, and then stopped as he lurched past her into the parlor. She thought at first that he was drunk, but it was fatigue that sent him teeling to the nearest chair. “Where have you been?” she re- peated. “Yot look all fn. What d’you want to go walking about till you're | fit to drop? Six hours you've been gone, and you couldn’t have had a bite or a @rop, because you hadn’t a copper on you. Hold on and I'll get you something—Min's got a kettle on.” She brought him cold meat and vegetables and a cup of strong tea, {and followed- up the meat with | bread and cheese. When he had | caten and she had taken the things | away, she came back and looked at | nim sharply. “Been a bit-of a fool, haven't you? | What d’you want to go flinging off | like that? You've been ill, you know | —and: you get up out of bed and go walking about for the best part of seven hours on an empty stomach! Batty, I call it!” He was'lying back in one of the red gnd blue chairs, his face sharp- ened, hie eyes fixed and heavy. He had the Jook of an exhaustion which was something more than physical. His pody had moved mechanically while_thoughts which he could not outdistance pursued and threatened him. They drove him, and he was driven without hope of escape. He did, not know where he had been; only aa he lifted the latch and felt his. feet upon the new gravel Tom Willlams had laid down, fatigue camp upon him like an insupportable weight. The food had done him good. Now there was a dullness on him. It was like the fog. He frowned at the recollection of the fog. “You'd better got to bed,” said Nesta briskly. And presently he was in bed and sinking, sinking down, into the depths of sleep. (Copyright, 1933, J. B. ';.:lut-. tomorrow, takes a fiing at Lippincott Co.)
