4. You must rise early in the morn
ing, and retire late at night. Much
sleep fattens people.
5. The terrible corset you have on,
which congresses the center of the body
making you look great deal fatter
than you really are, must be taken off,
and you must have a corset which any
| dressmaker can fit to you-a corset
for the lower part of the abdomen,
which will raise this great mass and
support it.
"That is all the advice have to give
you at present. At first you will loose
half pound day. In the first three
months you will lose from twenty to
thirty pounds. In six months forty
pounds. You will constantly improve in
health, get over this excessive emotion,
and be much stronger. Every one
knows that very fat horse, weighing
200 pounds, can be quickly reduced
1000 pounds with great improvement
to activity and health. 1t is still easier
with a human being. That you may
know exactly what is being done, 1
wish you to be weighed; write the fig
ures in your memorandum, and one
week from now, when you come again,
weigh yourself and tell me how much |
you have lost.'

not quite as much as you told me, but

must be careful not to make any mis-
axes, for shall do just as you say. At
irst the thirst was dreadful. 1 thought
could not bear it. But now l have
'ery title trouble with that"
About four months after our first
Meeting this young woman brought
handsome young man with her, and
fter pleasant chat, she said to me:
"We are engaged; but 1 have told !
ny friend that l shall not consent to I

,rong as L was then, and l have made v

together with me, that when 1 have

As the wedding day approached she
rought the figures 152 on card, and
lclaimed, with her blue eyes running e
yer: Z
81 am the happiest girl in the world,
I'd don't you think have honestly
4rned itp think l am a great deal 81
lppier than l should have been if / U

The papers said the bride was beauti-

We made the usual call upon them ST.
ring the first month, and when, two SO
0nths after the wedding, they were
ending the evening with us, l asked
N if his wife had told him about my
lations with her avoirdupois. He
lghed heartily, and replied:
'Oh, yes, she has told me every
