Covrright, 1917, by The Prem Publishiag On, (The New York Evening World.) Developing—Lesson l. What Figure Development Requires. HE thin readers will have a much easier time than tho fat ones {2 their efforts to gain @ perfoct figure because fresh alr, reat and de- Uefous foods ara the main requirements. It is not a difloult matter to gain good health and improved personal appearance Mf the proper thought and time are allowed for a few hygiente rules which must be followed persistently. No woman can be beautiful and attractive when she is many pounds under normal weight, nor can sho ‘be in good health, until she weighs and measures at least somewhere near what nature intended. I wish to encourage slender readers at the outset of the wonders, for beauty and health, that a few Sather roaicare minutes of physical culture exercises will bring about @Qnd I hope that they will follow the course from day to day with this ‘Thin persons are the world’s workers, as a rule, and nine out of every @om ere nervous, fidgety, easily excited, high strung and possess a great @arplus of nervous energy. General Rules for Developing. H® thin woman must aim to transform energy into flesh and she must cultivate a different frame of mind, because calm and mental polse are absolutely essential to the building up of healthy ti: @n@ rich blood. | In the present course I shall give many new breathing exercises be- @ause th are so nécessary to both thin and fat women and shall ask all readers at the outset to make deep breathing a habit from tho very) first day of the course. In this way you are relieved of the monotony| ef giving valuable time for the breathing exercises, and can devote more. $e the important trunk mov ts, women must take short daily walks in the fresh air and breathe deeply through the nose meanwhile, Exhale through the nose also. | Bleep at least nine hours each night in a cold room and take an after- eon nap when convenient. Tépid baths are best for the thin woman, because they quiet the Rerves, act as sedatives, cleanse the body and Induce sleep. Answers to Readers’ Queries SLEEPING OUT OF DOORS—mr: K.

But the question put to him the Impossibility of his being sure of any recognition from the description, “He gave his name on his ticket as Philip D, Eaton," Con- Rery ‘replied. “Is that all you know about bimt” Yes, sir.’ * persons cannot sleep is because they It you find out anything about bim, are not entitled to tt, for they have] let me know,” Dorne bade. : not made sufficient physical or men- Yes, sir.” Connery moved away and soon went back to look again at Eaton, Dorne, however, was not depending upon Connery alone for further infor- mation. As soon as the conductor had ne, he turned back to his daughter and Avery upon the seat op- tal effort to obtain sleep. Since you lead such an tnactive life you should do other exercises and take a brisk walk and breathe deeply of the fresh air an hour before retiring. This will induce sleep.

Finally the girl at the end of the car rose and passed them, as though leaving tho car. Avery looked up. “Where gre you going, Harry?” “I think some one ought to be with father.” “L'il go in just a minute.” Bhe had halted aimost in front of them, Avery, hesitating as though he did not kne What ho ought to do, finaily arose; and Eaton ob- served that Avery, having introduced himself, appeared now to consider it his duty to present Eaton to Harriet Dorne, he also arose. Avery murmured the names, Har- riet Dorne, resting her hand on the back of Avery's chair, joined in the conversation, As she replied easily and interestedly to @ comment of Eaton's, Avery suddenly reminded her of her father. After a minute, when Avery rather abruptly left them, she took Avery's seat, and Eaton dropped into his chair beside this whole proceeding had been so unjaturally done that Eaton understood Harriet Dorne deliher- ately had arranged to make his acquaintance, and that Avery, angry and objecting, had been overruled. To avoid the appearance of study- ing her too openly he turned slightly, So that his gaze went past her to the white turmoil outside the windows, think you should meet my father, Mr, Eaton,” she said. “Would you like to?” He did not reply at once.

There would be a stop there for half an hour, and after the long day on the very one seemed to be waiting : a walk about the station before going to bed, But as.the train slowed and slipped into the lighted train sned, Eaton sat for som thought. Then he drag coat down from its hook, buttoned it Ughtly about his throat, pulled his t elling cap down on his head, left the car and found himself face to face with Miss Dorne, standing alone upon the station platform, “You b » You a castaway," she v , smiling, Connery had been becoming more certain hour by hour that they were going to have great difficulty in get ting the train through, ‘Though he knew by President Jarvis's note that the officials of the road must be watching the progress of this especial train with particular interest, he had received no train orders from the West for several hours. His inquiry at the last stop had told him the reason for this.

There were worsd grades ahead, in climbing which every pound of welght would count. So Connery—in the absence of orders and with Jarvis's note in his pocket—had resolved to drop the second sleeper.
