The Rhyming

BY Aline Michaelis.

TIIS is a sport that many
choose, the game of getting
weighed: If they've pound or
so to lose they weigh without their
coats and shoes, the which is quite
an aid. Yes, If to embonpoint in
clined, they work a system out;
they always weigh before they've
dined, and thus are much relieved
to find they're really not SO stout.
And skinny folks have other means
of getting at their weight. They
wear about three sets of jeans and
eat a peck of pork and beans; this
method, too, is great. Good scales,
of course, will never lie; yet chaps
contrive some way, some scheme
exceeding slick and sly, to make
the balance testify what they would
have it say. Also. If one scale does
not meet with their ideas. why,
then they swiftly beat il down the
street into the next soft drink re-
treat and boldly try again. Seldom
will rival scales agree. and, strange
as II may sound, the girl who
weighed one-forty-three may walk
some fifteen blocks and see she's
gained another pound. Or, you may
weigh at 6 o'clock, then weigh again
at 8, only to get an awful shock. a
knockout blow upon your block
you've lost ten pounds in weight!
But such surprises do not phase the
chap who lives to weigh! They'd
put most people in a daze, but calm
ly on his path he strays, upon his
way to weigh. Oh, he may lead a
bowling mob, his wife he may beat
and sundry other ways play hob;
but he holds down this weighty job,
he'd rather weigh than eat.

Without fats OF some sort ones
diet lacks that agreeable quality
called richness. and ones food. II
OF the average type. lacks a certain
flavor and tastiness.
Recently ! have been asked about
how much fat a person is supposed
to have each day. The average
amount per adult per day Is two
ounces, or a fourth OF a cup OF but
ter. or other fats.
A man or woman who sits at the
desk all day needs not quite so
much. the farmer or hard laborer
needs more. So you see this is one
OF the foods we must watch, for
fat serves the body as fuel.
Not many weeks ago went
through a large creamery in the
city and was so interested in their
butter department. Some of it they
churned themselves, some of il was
brought in from the farmers, but
IL il came from the individual small
dairics or was churned in the larger
embellishments IT did not matter,
the same care being exercised in
handling OF it.
The smaller places are not quite
so careful in weighing 1t as the
main concern is. for instance,
where girls in white aprons and
caps weigh 1t, slice it. wrap it,. and
are as careful as possible in hand
ling it that the high ideal Of santa
ton employed by this creamery be
carried out.
Fresh butter spoils quickly. and
salt acts as preservative. Owing
to long usage many of us are &C
customed to the salt in the butter
and would not care for 1t otherwise.
but confess l have a weakness
for the fresh product. especially
with crispy hot French rolls.
Incidentally in many Of the best
restaurants and hotels only the
fresh butter is served. However,
this is merely a matter of taste
and the food value of the butter is
not impaired by either method.
To keep it we'll it must be kept In
a cool place, well covered and apart
from strong odorous vegetables or
meats, as 1t absorbs odors easily.
II allowed to get warm and kept at
that temperature it may become
rancid, owing to the albumHous
constituents Of the milk acting as
a fermcnt and setting free the fatty
acids.

CHAPTER XLyIII.


~ TH COURTNEY'S book had
fallen to her lap while she sat
muslng in the library. She
was tired of thinking. tired of won
dering. Gradually the lids dropped
over her aching eyes and she sank
into a light slumber.
She was reused by a sound that
brought her to her feet. Doris was
singing. And the song was the ono
she had sung to Hugh Rodney only
a few hours ago.
Ruth stood with her hands pressed
to her eyes as she listened. In
fancy she saw the couch in front of
the hearth, shaded from the light
by the screen drawn between II and
the window. And on the couch sat
a thin figure, his head buried in his
hands as he listened to the music
for which he had begged.
Doris had sung wretchedly this
afternoon. The sister had recog
nized this fact at the time. She
also knew that Hugh had recog-
nized it. Ruth had attributed
Doris mistakes and poor perform
ance to her nervousness in the pres
ence of the man who loved her.
But Doris was making no mis-
takes tonight. There Vas clear
quality and joyous tone in her
voice that brought tears of anger
to the sisters eyes.
"She is happy now-thats 1T"
she muttered holly. Then-"Poor,
shallow little Doris"
Doris making music In the room
no
derstood her sisters indignation
nor pity. She would have declared
that Ruth's nature was too complex
for single girl like herself TO
comprehend.
But one thing she did understand,
that her song was affecting the
man who stood at the piano listen
ing to her. When she finished, she
did not look UP, but asked softly,
as she dropped her hands In her
lap:
rightr
you sang like an angel" was
the muttered reply.
Still she did not look up. II am
glad you think So" she remarked,
her eyes upon the little pearl ring
which she was twisting and turn
ing on the third finger OF her left
hand. II am glad. because, you
see, had quite jolt about that
song this afternoon. 1 sang 1t TO
Highland he was disappointed"
"Disappointed!'
Deeply In Love.
The ejaculation was so incredu-
lous that the girl smiled archly.
yes. Ralph--disappointed. But
to be honest, | did not sing as well
then as I did just now"
Norton drew a step nearer.
WHY" he asked.
Because" she faltered, still turn
ing the ring about on her finger
IL was singing for Hugh then-and
l was unhappy and -
"And just now?" he interrupted.
IL was singing for-you," she
whispered.
And you were happier" he de-
mandcd.
che nodded. her eyes still down
cast.
with an exclamation of ecstasy
he gathered her into his arms.
Doris, darling--do you mean
that7 DO you mean that you are
happy when you are with meT'
"Yes, Ralph"
"And won't you believe that I am
happier with you than 1 can ever
be dis side OF heaven? In fact
you make my heaven here. oh.
darling. I have waited very patient
ly. or tried to wait patiently. But
