Jim is the kind of man who is ahvays tallcing about what he will do when he nakes his “million,” and Betty soon realizes that she must learn to dress smartly as well as like the peo- ple ke docs.

She felt that there was nothing she could say and thought it wiser to ignore the meaning in them. It was impossible, however, to dismi him as soon as the dance was over, and so they sat together in one of the smaller rooms and she talked with a rather forced vivacity, perhaps be- cause he himself was so very grave. She told him of what she had been doing and of the gavety of her life. “I feel sometimes like a little grub that has emerged into a butterfly,” she said with a laugh. “Life was so gray before, and now it is all shot with rose color.” e res, ye : “When are you planning to be mar. rled”” The smile on Betty's radiant face dimmed a little. “We havenit set a So much depends on Mr. Cor- nell’s business.” Amos was silent. He was wonder- ing how any man who had won her love could wait to have her. Gossip was rife in the hospital that Jimmy Cornell had plenty of money and the costliness of Betty's ring testified to that. Then why was he waiting? They had been engaged now for over nine months and still there were no definite plans. Through the doorway Amos sud- denly spied Dr. Hunt on his way to \ Betty, and leaning toward her, wke quickly. “Will you let me ght " The question was so sudden that ity could not think of an excuse, there was something about v at that moment that was almost pathetic, something almost tragically bovish.

She seemed so different tonight from the pale little nurse who had first won his heart. There was about her now an assurance that was almost brittle. r in the evening when he had 1 with Miss Anderson, she had dubbed etty “the million dollar wife,” and Amos had asked her W hat she meant. “Oh, nothing take you home said quickly, “and know when the girl had retorted, fushi; little, “Only Betty seems | so cha lately.

I never knew any one to be so mad about a man and that was before she knew anything about him. But 1 think it means something to her now; he's changed hei As Amos watched Betty waltzing with Dr. Hunt, this conversation re- turned to him and he wondered if there were any truth in it. Not that it mattered if the man made her happy, but would be? He seemed in no hurry to marry her, that wuas cer- tain. An hour or so fater, Betty came up to him. She was wrapped in her Spanish showl and she looked as fresh as she had at the beginning of the affair, but there was about her a flaunfing little air as though she wanted to impress her importance upon the other girls present who were Ietling her sce how |less fortunate. Perhaps he was wrong, perhaps he was allowing Miss Ander- son's words to influence him. ‘Sure I'm not carrying vou off too early,” Betty said brightly as they went down in the elevator. “But I've been up so many nights lately, and Jimmy will be home tomorrow."” (Copyright. 1926.)

I do not want to do anything that will injure my baby, but I do want to get back to the 110 average when this trial is over. I am now eating as follow Breakfes Corn flakes with milk, all cream removed; two slices whole wheat toast, butter and jam, cup of coffee with cream and small amount of sugar; peach, apple, pear or melon. Lunch: Corn flakes, again; let- tuce and tomato sandwich, whole wheat bread, fruit and glass of milk with cream removed. Dinner: Small amount of meat, liberal helping of two kinds of vege- vegetable salad; no dessert and water to drink. If T do not eat I become dreadfully nauseated. Is the milk as I use it fattening and as wholesome as it would be with the cream? How much can T expect to lose at confine- ment? Answer: Your diet is ideal and I am printing it in full for that very | reason, hoping some other person in | vour condition will read it and follow | it. It has evervthing needed in the way of food elements, and & as you are using butter on toast ai ndwich and as a dre: vou drink will not hurt, and it does make it less fattening. It is always unwise to diet in order to set thin during this time. One need not overeat, and you are not. I should cheerfully bear this burden of extra fat and continue as you are doing.
