Start your diet with a fast. In a

stomach so much that you'll not only
be able to take a large tuck in your
corset and feel you've improved your
figure enormously as a result, but you
will also not want quite so much food
each mealtime. That is a great help,
too.
Try this: Every two hours drink
the juice of an orange and follow by
a half glass of water. Nothing else

Non-Fattening Foods.

Whether you are reducing for the
sake of beauty or your health, or
both, you had better begin the treat
ment by fasting. 1 mean if you have
really a lot of weight to lose. If you
only want to lose to 10 pounds. sim
ply cut out a few starchy, fat or very
sweet foods and in month or so the
job is done and you weigh what you
want.
But if you have a large stomach
and a large appetite, the easiest, best
and simplest way to begin a diet is by
a modified fast. You see, you shrink
your stomach then. which is distended
way beyond normal and which has
been so for years probably. 1t
must be distended to hold enough food
to make you fatter and fatter as the
years pass. 1t must have become dis
tended gradually over long time.
Being large, it demands more and
more food to fill it and satisfy it, and
gradually the vicious circle widens.
You get fatter, your ever growing
stomach asks more and more food,
you eat more and more and get fatter
and fatter, and even if it ended there
it wouldn't be so bad. But this stored
up fat, this handling of immense
quantities of food in the stomach, this

Bluebells.

Bluebells.
If you asked the average person if
we had any bIuebells around the
District, he would answer in the neg
ative. 1t is true that we have not the
Scotch bluebell, which also grows in
North America, as far south as. New
Jersey and the Great Lakes, and is
abundant on mountains, both of New
England and the West. There is, too,
a pretty bluebel in the Blue Ridge,
as near, think. as Harpers Ferry.
But in the District Flora are found
at least three species of Campanula
the lovely tribe to which all true
bluebells belong.
First is tiny fellow with sprawling,
scratchy stems, and pale blue or
nearly white little flowers, found upon
marshes in half a dozen localities
about the district. Only a botanical
eye, I believe, would notice it. And
just few times the old English gar
den flower, the rampion. have been
seen in neglected hedgerows near the
District Line on the east. But our
true bluebell, that everybody ought
is Campanula Americana. with its
stately wands of intense violet-bluo
flowers.
The only good reason for failing to
know this species for a bluebell is that
it has wheelshaped instead of bell
shaped flowers, but surely they are
not less lovely for that reason, and in
vivid hue, our flowers surpass any
Scotch bluebell.
Just now the bluebell is abundant
Wherever the soil is low and moist
and loamy, and the shad eof trees is
cool and deep, and the midges dance
in the warm still air, the lush, rank
stems and leaves of our bluebell ap.
pear, and the wandlike, living spires
of blue arise.
Books tell us that this plant is an
annual. 1t is particularly important
then. that one should allow it to go tC
seed, if it's lovable tribe is not to be
exterminated. That also means that
it is futile to dig up the root to plant
in your wildfower garden, as the root
is only dead fiber by the middle OF
Winter.
Granted these limitations of the
lovely bluebell. it is one of the least
known and loveliest of all our flowers

In a way, she still liked him, but now
he was symbolic of something. He
held the key to a door from which
she wanted to escape. , He made her
feel GREATNESS. and always when she
| was near him she felt her reason
slipping away from her because of
her fear of him.
This was the first time she had sat
in theater box since then. Did Mar
tin know? She couldn't help wonder
| ing.
She shrank back, permitting Alicia
and Mrs. Dinsmore to have the choice
seats. What did she care about the
| play. silly, stupid, musical comedy?
What she wanted was to be alone with
her own feelings.
But she wasn't permitted even the
luxury of that. for when the curtain
wasn't up and the bright vacuous-
faced chorus girls tripping across the
stage. singing some silly tune, the
curtain was down and Alicia was talk
ing.
Alicia was enjoying it. She hadn't
seen a good musical comedy in ages.
She made bright quips on the lines.
she kept both Martin and Mr.. Dins-
more in such a state that they seemed
to hang on her words.
But Nan didn't mind this so much
as she minded Alicia's attempts to
draw her into the conversation. 1t
was as if a subtle warfare had been
declared between the two women, and
Alicia, without the least bit of trouble,
were trying to show the others how
stupid Nan was.
OF course Nan resented it. Any
woman would have. And the more
she listened to Alicia's bright, happy
voice going endlessly on and on, the
more she longed to escape.
Plans went fitting through her
head. She watched the stage scarcely
at all.
What if she took Muriel and as
much money as she could muster to-
gether and went away somewhere?
Marcia would take her in temporarily.
although Marsha wouldn't like the idea
much of having a baby in a small
apartment, even for a few days.
A hlare of music broke in on her
thoughts. 1t would be over in a mo-
ment, and she must pull herself to-
gether But she felt so small and
frail and weak against Alicia's in
sistent radiance.
The lights went on as the curtain
slowly dropped. Above the white fox
collar of her evening wrap Mans
small lace was the color or ivory.
There were violet shadows under her
eyes.
Alicia exclaimed pityingly. Alicia,
all red-gold hair and bright blue eyes,
and Mrs. Dinsmore, who was a kindly
soul. patted Nan with a motherly
hand.
Get the child home to bed, Martin.
She looks tagged to DEATH"
Nan sank back in the car with
sigh Of relief. And then she heard
Martin speaking.
I'm taking you home, Nan, and
then Miss Rumsey and 1 are going to
a night club for a time. She hasn't
been in New York for two years"
do you mind?" Alicia asked
brightly. IF you do, Martin can leave

CHAPTER .XLNI.
Alicia Triumphs.

In order to include Alicia Rumsey
In the evenings fun. Martin had been
forced to take a box. Nan did not
know this till later or she would have
refused to so.
The last time she had sat in a box
Tom had been therc-Tom, in his i'll

fun.
In the drawing room before dinner
Hilda had brought cocktails.
Nan was radiant in a WiSpy black
dress, relieved only by Il daring sash
OF brilliant orange velvet.
The Dinsmores arrived first, middle
aged, rather uninteresting people. Nan

Strange, the silly things that went

help thinking this over and over as
she sat making polite conversation
with Mrs. Dinsmore. while Martin and
Mr.. Dinsmore talked business. Such
utterly absurd things.
And then. as if this drawing room
had been stage set prepared just for
her entry, Alicia came into the room.
They had all been awaiting her en-.

\ little thrill ran along Mans
nerves. Really she was a most won.
derful looking person. She had chosen
gray for her gown, and above the
cloudy tulle her blue eyes were radi-
ant. Her hair was a rich chestnut,
just a little deeper than blonde, and
it was not bobbed. She had some curl

stead of hair she wore a cap made of
coppery brilliants.
The one thing that Mans brain reg.
istered before she greeted Alicia was
the fact that Mr.. Dinsmore's eyes had
hlinked in a silly fashion. Men were
such idiots, Just a moment ago he
had been flirting with her.
Alicia and Nan stood a moment
measuring each other-Alicia, gor.
geous. self assured. And Nan-Nan,
who had been told so often that she
was lovely, felt inferior before this
goddess. She had such an air of radi-
ant health. And how clever of her to
have chosen gray for an evening
frock! 1t enhanced the color of her
eyes.
All through the evening Nan found
1t impossible to shake this feeling of
silent during dinner. or at the most
spoke few monosyllables. But Alicia
talked. She talked brilliantly. Neither
Martin nor Mr.. Dinsmore could take
his eyes off her. And as Mrs. Dins.

Editc-- Seward Gateway:


 The writer does not always agree with The Gateway in reference to the matter of Prohibition and the 18th Amendment; but after very careful reading several times of your editorial "Dogmatism vs Patriotism" in yesterdays issues of your paper he wishes to commend the same most heartily, except the idea contained in the third sentence of the third para graph of your editorial With that he also agrees, provided the truth, the real facts, are always adhered to, which unfortunately is not always the case.
 The position you take, with the one qualified exception mentioned, it seems to me is the only one which can be taken by any true American citizen.
 If we would all follow the. idea contained in your editorial we would much more quickly arrive at a much satisfactory condition in reference to this important question. (Signed)
