whirling the sheet that she had taken
from Warren when he came in and
glancing hurriedly down its columns.

said Warren, changing the subject.

about going skating, didn't you?
Surely l can go. Let's call up Bob
and Louise and see If they can't meet
us there; then we can all go some
where for dinner"
For once Warren approved of the
plans and even offered to call up
Bob and Louise while Helen went to
dress.
It's all right" he said little later
coming into the room where Helen
was getting into appropriate clothes.
They'll meet us in half an hour. Are
you nearly ready"
Unexpectedly Ready
"All ready Helen announced un-
expectedly. DO you know l wish l
had some really stunning clothes to
skate in
THAT'S an idea for YOU" scoffed
Warren. Il suppose you'd like to
wear some of these white flubdubs
that some of the feature skaters
affect. You'd be a fine-looking object
in a public place"
There are plenty of other kinds

dignified manner. "I had no idea of

and stood in the doorway somewhat

dust, but still in a good humor.

They met Bob and Louise at the

When did you get it?"

Helen stole a look at Warren, who
was sublimely unconscious. Louise
had leather sport costume beau

color, a Norfolk jacket and a little
leather hat. She Wore q soft white
muffler thrown around her neck and

Failure To Absorb Flesh Making Ma

weight Down. How To Make
the Food Work and Stick.

Most thin people eat from four to six
pounds of good solid fat-making food
every day and still do not increase in
weight one ounce, while on the other
hand many of the plump, chunky folks
eat very lightly and keep gaining all
the time. IT seems all bosh to say that
this is the nature of the individual. 1t
isn't Natures way at all.
Most thin people stay thin because
their powers of assimilation are defec-
tive. They absorb just. enough of the
food they eat to maintain life and

We surely have cleaned up, made

When he had finished his discussion
of the conditions at the almshouse Mr..
Loudermilch went into detail as to
some other phases of the reform"

there is. a general impression abroad
that weather forecasts are unreliable.
They are not-they are remarkably
accurate, as a matter of fact, and they

land. One warning of an approach

100000 worth of property from
injury and destruction. Warnings of
