A Case of Dieting.

At a recent literary dinner" in Lon don, MT. I. Zangwill told a story of a certain fat lady of his acquaintance. Her corpulence had so grown upon her that she resolved to consult physician about it. She had had no previous ex- perience with "banting" of any sort.
 The doctor drew up careful dietary for her. She must eat dry toast, plain boiled beef, and a few other things of the same lean sort, and in a month re- turn and report the result to the doctor
 At the end of the time the lady came, and was so stout that she could hardly get through the door. The doctor was aghast.
 Did you eat what I told you?" he asked.
 "Religiously," she answered.
 His brow wrinkled in perplexIty. Sud denly he had fash of inspiration.
 Did you eat anything else?" he asked.
 "Why, ate my ordinary meals" said the lady.
