On the other hand, though clothes that are a close fit may look well enough, they are certainly uncomfortable and sometimes injurious. | Another thing that we must con- sider in buying clothes for children —and that is that children are many times as active as we are, and though they want good warm things they should not have hes their best clothes plenty of leg and a Sleeves 1 keep the arms drawn down, =houlders that are stiff and inflexible, | llars that hold fthe neck erect, | iters that keep the knees stiff— | these things will never do.

When they return from their homeymoon, Helena’s Younger sister, Natalie, marries. On their trip to Havana, John and Helena meet a cherming widow, Nina Price. John shows very evi- dent interest in her. Helena ad- mits to Natalie that she is sure John doesn’t love her, and Natalic advises her to fight for him if she cares enough. In an effort to hold him, she begins to weave a web about him, but it seems to do no good. In the Spring, after their marriage, he departs on a business trip to the coast and remews his friendship with Nina Price, who lives in Denver. Nina encourages him to make love to her, and he returna_to New York determined to ask Helena to free him. Before he can say anything® to her, she tells him she is in love with some one else, which of course, is mot true. He tells her about Nina, and she affects a matter-of-fact atti- tude that irriatates him. CHAPTER XXXVIL Back to Work. At the office, trying to get things edjusted once more after his trip, John kept remembering Helena's last words at the breakfast table that morning and found himself resenting | them. She had said, “Neither of us could help it.” ““Well, that was true so far as he was concerned. He had tired of their marriage. Of done wrong in marry- ainly worse to had been married it he was in love Helena r course, he b ing her. It tell her after the for some time t with another woman than have been to tell her before any one else had come into his life. But Helena had loved him. She had Joved him at the time of their mar- riage. Had she fallen out of love because of his indifference? It had heen an effort to play the game, and 1hen, of course, she had the contrast of Natalie’s and Fred's marriage con- stantly before her. Fred was absurd- v in love with Natalle. It wasn't surprising that she had noticed difference. ered when she would leave at she was <he ken king about keeping every- 1hing friendly, and yet ehe wanted fo yush off to Natalie's as though it were Jangerous to be in the same house with him. She needn’t worry! He had 10 1dea of forcing his attentions upon r. . MAM then he remembered the fact that she. was in Jove with another jnan, which somehow irritated him | Everything was in perfect order and it would | the | still more. Of course she would want to get away from him. She had good taste. he wouldn't think of enter- taining Mark Sands in the apartment that was paid for by her husband. Not that there was anything particu- larly wrong in it now that they had both put their cards on the table, but Helena wasn’t that kind of a woman. He went out to lunch and returned early with the idea of writing a long letter to Nina. He started it, but after a few sentences, tore it up and aban- doned the idea of writing to her. Somehow that evening in the Garden of the Gods seemed very remote from him. He could look out of his window and see the busy traffic of the boats in the harbor. The roar of the city drifted to him from the streets far be- low. . No, he wouldn't write. He would wait a while until he had his affairs in hand, and then he would go out to her. That would be best. It would take some time to get the di- vpree, six months at the least. He wondered how they would manage it and where Helena would go. He might send her over to ‘Paris, It would cost a lot of money, but then he owed her something for having cheated her. He returned to the apartment that night tired out with the work of the day. In addition to that, his brain had been turning the problem over and over. He hadn’'t been able to get away from it for more than a few minutes at a time and he had slept very poorly last night. He opened the door with his key. It was a hot day outside, but the apartment was very cool. During his absence Helena had had flowered chintz shades hung at the windows of the living room. These were lowered, and the light coming through them gave a porchlike effect that was very soothing. very quiet, and as he hesitated, won- dering whether to call Helena’s name, Minnie appeared. ool ““Oh, Mr. Henderson, it's you. Henderson left a note for you. a moment, and I'll get it.” She disappeared into the kitchenette and returned with a square envelope. As John took it in his hand, the faint perfume Helena used driffed up to him, It was like a mute reproach. He went into the living room and sat down in a comfortable chalr to read it. The message it contained was very brief. “I have gone out to Natalic's John, and shall remain there for the pres- ent. Any time you want to come out for a visit, just suit your own conven- fence. It will be all right and every one will be eager to see you.” It was signed simply, “Helena Continued in Tomorrow's Star.) “Puzzlicks” 'uzzle-Limericks.

A balanced meal provides elements which “balance” each other. The old see-saw worked well when the weight was properly balanced on both ends. It went up in the air and down again with a nice swinging rhythm. If Heavy Bill got on one end and Skinny Jimmy on the other, the wouldn't work. Certain elements in food tend to have an acid reaction in the body. Other elements have an alkaline re- action in the body, and may be sald to neutralize the acid elements and have a sweetening effect in the body. Many foods as nature grew them are balanced. They contain the acid and alkall elements-in right propor- tion. The white of an egg has an acld reaction. The yolk has an alkali re- action. The whole egg is a balanced food. ‘Whole grains are balanced. The outer coverings of the grain are alkali In reaction and balance the ef- fect of the starch center. Meat with the bones and blood as well as the fleshy part would be a balanced food, but man only eats the fleshy part of meat, and hence meat has a tendency to cause an acid condition in the body. A raw potato is a balanced food. It has protein, starch or carbohydrate, and mineral salts. A baked potato or a potato cooked in its jacket retains the mineral salts which balance the protein and the starch. A potato peeled and then boiled loses its min- eral salts in the cooking water and becomes a food with a tendency to cause an acid reaction. Milk is a balanced food. It has pro- tein, carbohydrate, fat, the lime min- e.ml in large quantity and vitamins. The Daily Aaaaad IFEER Across. . Muffled roar. 7. A number. . Make beloved . Snuggh Highway (abbr.).

A dinner consisting of meat, white bread, fried potatoes, custard ple would be an unbalanced meal. En- tirely too much starch, with not enough mineral salts. Of course, the breakfast and lunch of that day might | help to counteract this dinner to some | extent, but more minerals in this meal and more laxative elements added to it would be safer. A dinner of baked ham, sweet potatoes, spinach, plain lettuce salad, whole wheat bread and butter and baked apple would have all the elements in it. Or a dinner of brolled hamburger steak, baked white potato, green peas, shredded cabbage, whole wheat bread and butter and prune whip would balance. Well made ple, with a flaky and not a soggy crust and a good fruit filling, could be indulged in occasionally by adults under weight or normal in weight, if the rest of the dinner was not too starchy. | Many relish soup with their dinner, | particularly in the Winter.

DDING THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Tuesday, December 14. Astrologers read tomorrow as a most fortunate day, for Venus, the sun, Jupiter and Uranus are all in benefic aspect. ‘Women who desire positions or em- ployment of any sort should make use of every opportunity to seek the right place while this configuration prevalls. It is a lucky wedding day, making for success in marriage and rapld rise to_prosperity. Theaters again come under the best possible sway, for It indicates ap- proval from the most august person- ages and interest among the intel- lectual. Motion pictures also partake of the good fortune that apparently will af- fect the stage, and many new inven- tions will promote their vogue. Amusements of every sort are to be- come more and more popular in the United States, where athletics as well as other recreations will benefit. The signs are most encouraging to persons in the sun, including gov- ernors of States and heads of big busi- ness enterprises. Again merchants and manufacturers shouid benetit, for the stars forecast a holiday expenditure that will bring laige profits. Uranus gives good hope for educa- tion and all sorts of intellectual de- velopment. Many new college build- ings are to be constructed, and uni- versities are to receive large endow- ments. There is a sign indicating inven- tions of a sort little dreamed of, even by the most advanced scientis Aviation 1s under the most stimu- lating influences, and astrologers fore- cast the common use of airplanes within a decade. Hotel keepers should rejoice, for the stars promise them prosperity. They many ‘more guests next year than ever before in this country, it is predicted. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of extraordinary progress and prosperity. Children born on that day are believed to be rarely fortunate.
