This may sound as ff practically nothing of relish were to be eaten by the fat woman, but really she has a large variety of edibles from which to choose. Lean meats, poultry, all sorts of fish and shell fish, thin soups, salads with boiled dressing, green vegetables, fruits cooked and raw, toast and all dark breads form a list from least as inexpensive as the more elaborate ones and certainly more wholesome and more easily digested. The fat woman who is robust enough to stand strenuous exercise without straining her muscles will find bowling a wonderful aid in the reduction of the upper arms, shouklors and shoulder blades, but this game can easily be overdone.

He was of two minds whether or not to antictpate any hostile move on the soldier's part by springing at him and trying to make 4 dash past bim and his comrade and out into the open. Before he was able to decide on this last resource the German soldier settled the matter for him. Saluting, might have the honor of brushing the and of assisting him back to camp, Jim could have laughed aloud trom sheer relief, He saw now that the soldier supposed him to have been on @ spree of some violent gort and to have chosen this secluded spot for the sleeping off of his potations, Less, probably, through kindness of heart than from desire to curry favor with so awesome a potentate ag a commissioned officer, the private had made the offer, In an army where officers thrash private soldiers or kick them at will, the private is seldom swayed by love for his officers; rather is he cowed into obedience and snarl. ing submission by kick and blow and curse: Records prove that more than one German soldier has become infuriated vy his officer's brutality and has dared to hands on such an officer, In such cases, by German military regu- lations, the officer is permittted to shoot or stab the offending soldier as though the latter mad dog which had attacked him, Knowing all this, it was a genuine effort for Jim Braham to live up to the character of his temporary role of German officer, But it was a mat- ter of life or deith to him, and he was selfish enough to be glad of the cruel discipline which put private German soldiers in. aneh cringing dread of their superiors, ‘ were @ sent essiter , the man asked respectfully if he straw from the Herr Ritter’s clothes With a truly frightful glare he shook his head and pointed once more to the doorway in fierce dismissal. He even glanced angrily about him, as if in search of something to hurl at the intruder’s head. Like @ dog at which a stone ts thrown, the soldier ducked, instine- tively, then turned and scuttled out of the shed. “They won't bother me any more!” muttered the exultant Braham, halt- aloud, “And they'll pass the word along that a savagely cranky officer is in here, sleeping off a jag. That'll Keep others away.” With these comforting reflections, he burrowed still deeper into the straw and rearranged the cloak 50 as to envelop every visible inch of hita. And once more he fell asleep. The day wore on. The mists of the night before had been dispelled by the dawn-wind, But the heat of noon brought a new promise of fog into the warm air, At mid-afternoon, Jum Braham left his shed and came out into the open space on the river bank; first carefully peering through the cracks in the shed to make sure no one was near, Close-wrapped in the precious gray cloak, he emerged into the open, There a second look showed him he had the immediate neighborhood all to himself, Retiring once more to the shed, he proceeded to strip, after which, he bundled all his clothes to- gether and covered them with the cloak, He sallied forth once more aud made his way, naked, to the river Here, on @ rock, he lald his bandied clothes and made sure that the gray cloak covered them entirely. This done, he walked to the brink, at @ spot where the curve of the stream had gouged out @ natural swimming hole, and dived into the cool, brown water, “I wonder,” he mused as he splashed idly about, “if some expert on military law could tell me just what Lam, at this minute? Inside the enemy's lines, in my own uniform, I was at worst a scout, and liable to nothing worse than imprisonment tn case of capture, A few minutes ago, in that Boche cloak, I was not only committing the blasphemous crime of impersonating a German officer, but I suppose, technically, I was @ spy. And it fs a death offense in either of those cases. But what in blazes ain I now? Am I a spy or a scout? Or what? Naked, all men are equal. But if I were captured, what would be my military status? I suppose, technic- ally, I'm inside the enemy lines, ‘They hang captured men for wearing the wrong sort of clothes, and send them to a war prison for wearing the right sort of clothes. But how do they dis- pose of men who wear no clothes at all? Well, perhaps I'll have the bad luck to find out!” Through the field glasses the pre- ceding afternoon Jim had made speclal note of this spot, Hot and dusty and yearning for a bath, he had looked with envy at a group of German officers who had come there for the luxury of a late afternoon swim, It was this sight which had given him his fantastic idea—the idea that had obsessed him ever since, For a full half hour he swam about the river pool. Every few minutes he would raise his head to listen, and at last his listening was rewarded. Along the path over the hillock which hid from view the German trenches, came the sound of footsteps and the jangle of spurs. Jim Braham grinned and fixed his gaze on the point where the path topped the knoll, In swimming,” he reflected, “there's no way of telling a German Major General from a Bulgarian pri- vate, ‘The human akin is the erandast Ute disguise ever invented. Yes, 3 They’ve Gone to the Roof _ for the Summer TOGRAPH TAKEN all men must have been equai before they got into the habit of wearing clothes. There was no way, in those days, of telling @ king from a rousta- bout, or a queen fram her washer- woman, Great days!" Over the hillock’s crest strode five young German officers, chatting and laughing as they came, At @ight of Jim Braham's swimming figure, they Paused, for an instant perhaps think- ing some private eoldier, or even some presumptuous peasant,had dared to pre-empt their chosen bathing place, But thelr gaze presently fell on the gray cloak which covered a pile of clothes, and, laughing, they resumed their progress, The cloak explained everything. One of thetr fellow of- cers evidently had reached the pool ahead of them and had undressed and gone into the water, One of them even hafled Braham with a query as to the coolness of the pool, But Jim was just then go- ing through a sertes of intricate por- boise dips which seemed to make him deat to the question, Moreover, he was swimming at the end of the pool furthest from them and had his back to the new arrivals. ‘The newcomers at once began to cast off their clothes, with the jolly haste of truant achoolboys, Furtive- ly watohing, Jim noted where each man laid his belt and pistol. Thus, when he had watched through the field glasses the afternoon before, had the party of offlcers disrobed. And, as now, each man had collected his clothes and covered them with his cloak. Whether this was merely a tidy custom or one of the million effi- clency orders of the Woche ser- vice Jim did not stop to ponder. It served his turn. Chatting carelessly, the five made ready for their @wim and picked thelr way, barefoot, over the pebbles ot the bank. One after another they dived into the pool. For a minute or so Jim watched their antics, Then, unobstrusively, he struck out for the bank—the bank on which were the six mounds of clonk-covere@ gar- ments, He swam with the easy “side-stroke" so familiar to every American and so different from the strenuous awkwardness of these Germans. As he neared the bank one of the officers stopped his gam- bola to watch him curiously.

To make a staunch decision to have but few clothes ts about the beast way to prepare one's mind for a judicious course in their selection, for if & woman firmly believes that she can have only one of any- thing, no matter what it 1s, she is eure to weigh its choice duly.

The design I am offer. ing Is on Princess lines, with no belt or other definition of the walst- line, aside from the slight fit afforded by the seams, The main portion of the frock as- sumes the form of @ tunic, which ts slashed up from the lower edge in four places, to reveal a foundation black satin skirt, ‘This skirt may be separate from the frock, and be re- quisitioned as a complement to other frocks. ‘The narrow strip of black) that continues from a tiny yoke, down the front of the frock, with buttons each side of it, repeats the ECONOMY effect of the openings in the tunic: In the back a line of buttons down the centre, continuing a little below scrutiny, had advanced so far in- shore that his feet were groping for the bottom, when the German put on @ burst of clumsy speed and over- took him. Braham’s first intimation of the other’s approach wes the glint of a big white body which came to ‘@ standsttil close beside him and two Dursled blue eyes that were staring at him from out of a red and putting face. “Kamerad,” demanded the Ger- man, in real curiosity, and speaking fluent Plattdeutsch, “where did you pick up that outlandish stroke? It is like none I ever saw, except when an Amerikanische prisoner tried to escape last month by swim- ming. It was my own pistol which brought down the man as be swam. A neat shot, considering the dis tance, Who taught you such @ stroke?” OW, Jim Braham had a smat- tering of the German language —a tolerable command of it, which enabled him to speak it, slowly, after a halting fashion and to understand the gist of what was sald to him, But he knew that his very first spoken word must infallibly be- tray him as en American. Yet it would not do to pretend he had not heard, for the man was close at hia elbow. As ho hesttated he saw— or fancied he saw—the curiosity in the fat red face change to suspicton. Clearly, there was no time to be lost “Who are you?" rapped out the German as Jim hesitated. There was sharp challenge in the tone, Jim took a rapid glance around | the pool. The four others were atill at some distance from him and were just beginning to notice the colloquy between their comrade and this stranger, Jim measured the space between himself and the bank and saw that he could easily reach shore before any of the quartet could come alongside him, The water was only shoulder deop where he stood with his feet planted in the oozy mud of the pool bottom, The man at his side waa the only obstacle between himself and the exe- cution of his cherished plan. This man alone, therefore, remained to be dis- posed of. “Who are you?” again demanded the German, his hand outthrust ningly towards Braham, “Who am I? repeated Jim, in a low » and in his very best German, “I am a Yankee who has travelled than 3,000 miles for the high privilege of standing you on your head in the mud, you eater of dogs and torturer of little children!” The German flung himself at the speaker, but Jim was no longer there. With his final word Braham disap- peared under water, And less than a! second later the German was amazed to find himself rising swiftly and bodily through the water and high in alr, He shrieked aloud. His companions came rushing to his aid.
