"'Tis fine and difficult you WON

himself in his own office where l
had forced him to receive me. And
it's evident that tits for the best we
should be having this out, Alanna.

practically confessed that you are al
the head of a conspiracy to wreck my
business. That doesn't go with pet

"2'Tis myself has been telling you
that if you weren't so hipped on that
office of yours, it's a better wife you
would be making Jim Harrison" PAT
said grimly.
"You think I'm not a good wife?"
L cried wounded to the soul.
Pat nodded. My throat contracted
and went dry at the thought of what
l must do.
Are you going to force me to tell
you what will cruelty my pride?"
asked.
l wondered If it was worth while
to try to save anything out of the
wreck if it was at the cost of telling
Pat Dalton. Jeanie's husband, why
couldn't go back to jim. How could
| humiliate myself by confessing that
my husband doesn't want me any
more?
Bitter laughter dubbed to my lips
as l recalled my high hopes of the
early morning-my absurd dreams and
fancies. Then 1 blurted it all out to
Pat. l told him how l longed to
prove that l was a person-nOt lust
woman" how l desired to build up
big business and make myself re,

achievements. / had a hope that this
would suffice and that might be
spared the pain of adding that Jim is
through with me-that he longs to be
off with the old love and on with the
new-Arlette Valleau.
When l had finished, Pat stared al
me with alien eyes in which there was
no glimmer of understanding.
"That is just the point, Alanna

Bunny, who examined this strange
creature, critically announced.
Il believe he belongs to the Stick
and Leaf family, but if you will watch
him for a while think you will find
that he has a peculiarly all his own.
What do you mean?" I asked.
Just wait" Bunny replied quietly.
We watched the locust for a mo-
ment, and then he did something
which made us all burst out laughing.
I'll tell you what it was.
To begin with he had very long
legs, and what made us laugh so hard
was that he folded these long legs
over his head so that he looked for ali
the world as if he were saying his

lowers. Most OF them survive and
those who adhere strictly to the rules
usually do emerge with the figure OF
a Diana or an Adonis-as the case
may be. But it is a hard road to
travel, and many fall by the wayside,
lacking the courage to persevere.

CANNED FOODS.
The use of canned foods will also
be found very helpful to those who are
dieting. They afford variety and in
sure good food value. For canned
foods are now so carefully and bygien-
icnlly processed that all the nuttitive
values are preserved. as is also the
quality of freshness"
OF the various diets that are being
tried, some are more strenuous than
others. There IL. for instance, the
buttermilk diet, which doom3 its adj
herents to live on buttermilk alone.
TYPES OF DIETS.
Another dietitian limits his patients
to lamb chops and pineapple. Still
another permits anything to be eaten
except sweets, starches or fats. The
most severe diet--with the exception
of the buttermilk-bars out not only
sweets, starches and fats, but also
forbids all vegetables and fruits which
have certain amount of sugar in
them, such as carrots, peas and beets,
bananas and grapes. Its adherents
are limited to tomatoes, spinach.
stringless beans and eggs-all without
seasoning or butter
In order to get all the essential food
values, il seems much more logical TO
work out q weekly regime from these
different diets, giving perhaps one
day week to each. For example, the
first day might be devoted to the but
termilk diet; the second. to living on
hmb chops and pineapple; the third,
to indulging in a more elaborate
menu. avoiding only sweets, starches
and fats. On the fourth day. the re-

and bread and butter, all of which are
especially fattening. In a general
diet, lean meat is permissible, and

Friday night. Feb 5th, the Reyno9
basket hall team went to Corning ana
trimmed the fast team Of that city by
score Of 22-12. The Reyno boys were
in no danger whatever Of losing IN any
part Of the game as their defense was
too strong for the Corning boys 10
break through. Our boys took the
lead in the early part Of the game
and not once did their opponents run
the score up close
The fast work Of ReynO's forwards,
Smith, Mcclure and Glasco, with the
help Of the air tight guarding Of Hogan
and Reynolds, and also the nne WORK
Of Griffith at center enabled them to
put over the defeat.
The game was somewhat rough dur
ing the first half, but it looked TO our
referee. Sparkman, that the Corning
boys wanted 10 play in that style az
they began 10 play a rough game from
the start, and he thought he would
give them that advantage. When the
first half was over. and the score stood
16 to 4 in favor Of ReynO they put in
their referee for the last half He
called a good game, and We have nc
room TO kick about the results as we
think he is one of the best referees
our boys have been on the court with
this season. The last half Of the
game was more interesting than the
first half, as there was not a foul
made that went uncalled. but the Rey.
no boys had the advantage and closed
