Not only | Summer Beauty Talks And Health Hints By Pauline Furlong | Consright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) Regular Meals Essential to Health HAVE repeatedly asked you to form the habit of deep breathing, so essential to your physical and mental welfare; and I have often sug- gested that you do this breathing in the open air as much as possible. o If you find aimless walks monotonous, why not try the game of croquet? of no less strenuous exercise, but it has the double ad- vantage of keeping you outdoors and of sustaining in- terest in a contest. But don’t forget to take the hundred or so deep inhalations during each game. The thin woman as well as her stout sister should take her meals at least six hours apart, and longer if the desire for food is not keen. Unless she actually craves a good breakfast she should eat her first real mieal at noon. A feeling of hunger is a signal that you have digested what you have previously eaten, and until you have done that it Is useless to eat more. It is what we assimilate, not what we simply eat, that goes to make healthy, fatty tissue.

Robert replied in a tone that She characterized as ‘snappy;” she also made the inevitable suggestion that he had eaten something that d's- agreed with him, “Good Lord,” said Robert, goaded at last beyond caution and fear, "Who wouldn't be snappy, doing nothing half the day, and the other half doing what he doesn't like? Nothing ever happens here—it's like being a fly buzzing in a tumbler, He can’t get out, though he can see all sorts of in- teresting things through the glass “You ought to be thankful for yur many mercies,” said his wife coldly; she knew the treatment for the case. Instead of grumbling like a child, you had better go to bed.” He soon forgot his troubles tn his sleep, Then he awoke quite suddenly, with @ dim idea that something was happening. He sat up in bed, rubbed his eyes and listened; no, there seemed to be nothing . . . every- thing was still, And then he heard a subdued but distinct noise down- stairs. “Good Lord!" he thought, “it must be a burglar!" Sitting up in bed, he listened with strained ears, For a moment there was silence; then came the quiet but distinct opening of a door below. His misgivings had a solid foundation, and with a dismal determination Robert cautiously got out of bed. Why h hardly kn perhaps: migh did not wake his wife he w. Perhaps it was chivalry, subconscious sense that spoil the fun. Robert tip- toed ewutiously to the dressing table, Here he made @ swift and partial toilet, He slipped on a pair of trou- xers, a coat and boots, Then without noise he opened the top right-hand corner drawer, where he kept his col- lars and handkerchiefs, and took out @ small revolver, As he handled the stock he felt his new manhood glow- ing like champagne in every artery, Life! He had begun to live, Robert took the pistol in aff un- shaking hand and conveyed himself quietly from the room. He was not in the least frightened now; indeed he w inning to enjoy this new sense of being master of the situa- tion, Quietly he crept downstairs, as close to the wall as possible to pre- vent creaking, At the foot of the stairs he stood still and listened... .

Robert cocked the pistol, opened the’ door, and with @ ute gasp of triumph said, “Hands up!” CHAPTER VIII, HERE were two people tn the room as Mr. Hedderwick opened the door, a man and @ lady, The latter, he noted with amazement, was in evening dress, a light cloak being thrown over it; the former wore the ordinary morning dress of a man about town, neat, though a little shiny, and on his head was a top hat. At Robert's command he turned with a violent start; the lady started, too, but in a moment re- covered her composure and laughed. “Good morning,” @he sald cheerfully: “1 can't say this ts an unexpected pleasure, for that would be only a half-truth. And now, what are you going to do?” Robert, considerably taken aback at the character of his prisoners and his own reception, paused a moment be- fore replying. “Well,” he said slowly, “in the firet you that I shall shoot “that would be the most sensible thing to do.

But she made the mistake of falling desperately in love with young Jim Weldon, man- ager of a certain branch of the busi- |ness and in receipt of a good salacy At first Sara hated herself for not being able to overcome what sho as a foollsh, sentimental school-girlish feeling for Jim, It in- terfered with her plans for a rich marriage which would enable her to have fine clothes—jowels—and every- thing else her luxury-loving soul could desire. It made of her just a plain woman—than which there was noth- ing quite so despicable in Sara's eyes. But when Jim gathered her up in his arma one day, and between kisses pleaded for an early marriage, Sara rather breathlessly consented. For the moment nothing else seemed to matter. When they were thought that life could hold no greater Joy for him, He adored Sara and was never tired watching her wide-eyed deliht In the good thin of life, He was a long-limbed, good- looking chap, with a sunny smile and a warm heart, He had ideals and standards in business which b tried to live up to, and a firm inten- tion to earn as much money as he honestly could In order to give Sara all the good things and fine raiment she so much desired and would #0 married Jim well adorn, Just a clean type of man effort or hesita- A second Beatric tion, began cheherezade, ahe*was fighting for her husband and ber own’ freedom, and everything conwpired to lend her aid.

If her body was beautiful, her soul | she | with unsuspected depths and the neo essary amount of shallows to maine tain a proper balance, I While Sara had not made as goof 4 marriage from a worldly point of view as she had intended, she was very happy. She didn’t have to work in an office any more, she had a beaus tifully furnished apartment, a mai@ to do all the work, and she soon be+ gan to assume all the airs and graces of a well to do woman of no ambitiong except to take life as easy as she could, At that time every thought she had was a selfish one. ‘Then war was declared, Jim wag very grave. He feared it would great- ly affect industrial conditions, ang the future was threatened, Sara was hysterical whenever the subject was broached. She refused, to read the papers and sald she didn’t want to know anything about the horrid old war anyway. She sobbed anathema at the President for get« ting them into war. She seemed to sense that Jim's gravity portended something calamitous to her interests and she set about fighting the unex~ prewed thought before it became a concrete fact. Jim continued thoughtful. Finally he came home one day in a white heat of rage at some reported German out< rages, He tried to show the paper to Sara, but she, sensing that the criti« cal moment had come, declared beat~ edly that she didn’t believe the things one read in the papers, anyway—and even if ‘they were true she simply could not read them; that they made her biue for days, Jim told her that all true Americans would have to read just such things for many a day, | for they were in the war to stay, and they might as well face that fact. He further intimated that he would prob- ably enlist very soon, ax he could not hold back when men were so badly needed, Sara demanded to know what he thought SHE would do if he did? They had not managed to save any4 thing and she would be left entirely without support. Jim's heart was torn between two lov his love for his country and his love for Saray which had only been strengthened by? the early months of their honeymoon, He tried to soothe her, but she would not listen to reavon, Finally he told her gravely that she had beem trained for a business life and #aé would have to do what every one els@ was doing.
