possible. But nothing helped me like the milk treatment. It literally trans formed my complexion and form.
 You begin with two quarts a day, and get up to gallon" she further instructed her eager listener. Then, if you can, you add from a pint to a quart of cream. You'll put on flesh at rate that will surprise you, and your skin will soon look like that of a child. I'm taking five quarts of milk and cream day."
 The admiring Marcella, her eyes feasting on Janet's fresh beauty, made immediate plans to go and do like wise. She informed her landlady that very evening that she had been placed on a special diet, and henceforth, for an indefinite period, would only re. tain her room, without table privileges. She also ordered two quarts of milk sent'to her room daily. Janet had ad- vised deferring the cream for a week.
 The landlady, a good-natured soul, used to the ways, vagaries and eco- monies of art students, smiled wisely in secret, but said nothing. She confidently expected to welcome Mar celia back to her basement board as soon as the first of the month brought the regular parental letter and creek. Meanwhile she unwittingly made Mar cella's path hard by unaceustomed gifts of cake, sandwiches. and odd cups of coffee night and morning. The wondering Marcella's pride was always soothed with some well-constructei story of hew some one had ordered supper or breakfast sent upstairs only to refuse to consume it. The worst of the affair was that the landlady aI- most invariably sat upon the edge of the bed-the. tiny hallroom only af- fording the single chair she insisted that Marcella should retain-until the food had disappeared.

 And. alasl many of Marcellas friends, though unconscious of the girls desperate attempts toward beauty. seemed possessed of a. similar idea A girl eomrade returned from her vacation laden with fruit for Mar celia; a man friend sent chocolates. Even Janet, who lives comfortably at home with her parents, kept inviting Marcella to dinner.
 You can just take milk with me. while the others stuff themselves with heavy food" she would explain. Janet. it should be added. professed to care nothing for solids any longer, while Marcella. despite the three quarts of milk which she speedily attained, vas continually hungry. Another friend 10 whom MarceIla confidentialIy whis- pered her reason for no longer going out to luncheon with certain other members of the class, insisted that eggs should be added to the list.
 Milk is lovely for the skin and to make hesh,r she said I've tried 1t and I know that 1t makes one over in 8 hurry. But its very bad for ths haIr, my dear child. Your hair vil all fall out If you don't supply certain other clements. You must take fom frsrh eggs a day in addition to the milk.
