The Course Dinner.

A course dinner does not only serve
the purpose Of formality-it more
than likely provides a balanced ration.
There is the appetizer-generally
oysters, shrimp. clans, caviar or
fruit cocktail. Then the meat course,
with one starchy vegetable and two
green ones; then the salad. bread and
butter. then the dessert. If this is of
fresh or cooked fruit, so much the
better. The variety served has prob
ably taken care Of the kinds OF food
needed.
That is. the proteins have been
furnished by the Ash and meat. the
carbohydrates by the starchy vege-
table and the bread, and fat in the
oil in the salad dressing and the but
ter; the mineral salts and vitamins
in the succulent vegetables and the
salad; and again these were furnished
in the dessert, il it were fruit.
1t is not necessary for health to
have all these kinds of food in one
meal. but it is necessary that there
should be some of each kind or group
(proteins. carbohydrates, fats. min
eral salts) for every single person
every day. A person can live with.
out balanced diet, but life does not
mean health by long shot.
AS a general thing, a balanced food
supply on the pantry shelf insures
bala need diet for the whole family.
A mixture of the groups of food
will supply the different elements
necessary. Please do not misunder-
stand mel do not mean that the
housekeeper can carelessly jumble the
various kinds of food together and
sit back in triumphant satisfaction,

meal.
People can live without balanced
foods. Alas. Many do drag along,
wondering what ails them. Often
they are starving for some iron. or
some calcium, or phosphorus. which
nature has appetizingly stored in de.
licious food

The Triumphant Mother-in-Law.
CHAPTER XIV.

At Mrs. Morgans wild outburst
Jean stared from Con, to his mother
for a long moment and then without
a word. turned and left the room. She
was white hot with rage. That Con
should ask her to make an apology
for some fancied grievance on Mrs.
Mcrgan's part was too much. She
couldn't be generous to that extent.
1t wasn't fair to ask it of her.
In her own room she flung herself
on the bed and burst into tears. but
even as she sobbed she kept listening
for Cons footsteps on the stairs. She
wanted him to come and comfort her.
She needed him. Surely he would real
ize how unfair he had been and would
come and tell her so. But he didn't
come. and downstairs she could hear
footsteps moving about in the kitchen.
Was Con helping his mother with the
dishes? Was that what was keeping
him away from her?
Her sobs ceased and she lay there
looking up into the darkness. It SEEM
ed as though she had never been. so
unhappy. 1t was hard enough to
make the best Of things without her
friends and away from the people who
loved her. But to have Con side with
his mother against here was too aw.
ful to contemplate. The thought of
being estranged from his was more
than she could bear.
After what seemed an interminable
time some one started up the stairs.
She listened, breathlessly, but the
footsteps were not Cons. They were
Mrs. Morgan's on her way to- her
room. Jean heard her open the door
and move around for a moment or
two and then she came out and went
downstairs again. The next sound
that came to her was the opening and
shutting of the front door. -.
Her heart in her throat she rushed
to the window. Con and his mother
were walking down the path that led
up to the house. He had her by the
arm and was bending his head a little
as though listening to what she was
saying. They, were going to the
movies without her. They had not
even given her chance to refuse to
go, they had simply gone off and left
her!
Jean had Q mad impulse to hing
open the window and shout after

them. She cTinched her hands until
the nails bit into the palms. and then
suddenly terrified at the intensity of
her feelings she tried desperately to
be calm. Never before had she known
herself to fly into such a passion. II
wasn't like her. Was 1t because she
had lived so long in an atmosphere
that was alien to her? She had tried
so hard to make Mrs. Morgan like her
for Cons sake. even though she had
known from the beginning how hope
less it was. But she had never
dreamed that things would come to
this pass between Con and herself.
She couldn't even believe it now,
After her storm Of tears her heart
felt suddenly hard and cold within her
breast. She was so longer shaking
with emotion; it was as IL for the time
being the capacity to feel was dead
in her. But her brain was working
clearly and she was trying to decide
what to do.
On impulse she determined not to
be at home when they returned. She
would go somewhere and stay as late
as she chose. 1t would be fun to 60

something exciting going on there. A

would bring her home.
She snapped on the lights in her
room and, going over to her dressing
table, powdered her nose. Then she
pulled on a little black hat, rummaged
to be sure her key was in her pocket
book, and, deliberately leaving the
light burning, she went downstairs
and out into the cold night. She
would go to the Oranges and have a
good time, as good time as she could
ever have without Con. Darling Con!
She loved him; she loved him too
much. ever to be unfair to him. II
only he would come to her later and
tell her he was sorry! But she must
try not to think about it for the pres
ent. In a. moment she would be cry
ing, and she mustn't arrive ait the
Oranges in tears.

The bishops are leading, but the
actual work is to be done partly by
clergymen and largely by laymen,
who, in groups, will visit every i'm

The purpose of the crusade, it was
stated. is not to add numbers to the
roll of the church, but to inspire men

hers or not, TO feel a responsibility for
personal evangelization Bishop Free
man described the growth of senti-
ment in favor Of this movement dur
ing the past l3 Years and stressed it's
urgency at the present time.
