When she did not reply immedi-
ately, Arthur added:
"I have been thinking it over,
Diana, and I believe Parker would
be as good an attorney as any to
see about our separation. I thought
perhaps we could discuss it with him
at lunch"
Diana was thunderstruck. She
had stepped herself in romantic
dreams the night before. A divorce
now? No! She didn't want to dis
cuss a divorce. Not yet, at least.
Not just now.
Finally, Diana recovered herself.

seemed, was moving irresistibly. She
did not want a divorce!

in town was a reality and her sus-

she suspect Arthur at this time,

She dressed leisurely, trying to

asked herself half-aloud with hys-

This lawyer affair was beginning
to get on Diana's nerves. Why
couldn't Arthur go on being a good
sport just a little while longer until
she could reach a decision?
1t did not occur to her, especial
ly, that she was forever expecting
Arthur to "go on just a little while
longer" for her sake. She did ap-
preciate, however, the fact that he
had been a good sport in many ways.
In fact, she freely admitted to
herself that he had been a much
better sport about their marriage
than she had been. But she had
not intended being a poor sport. She
consoled herself with the thought
that it was the only thing she had
ever shown herself so poorly in and
she had been too inexperienced to

Weak, Rundown. Had

Energy.

Every woman who is weak, run

terested in the experience of Mrs.
S. Kuharic, 924 S. 30th Street, South
Bend, Ind. How she won back her
health, appetite and weight, is told
in her letter as follows:
For months I was badly run
down; thoroughly tired out and
awfully weak all the time. I had no
appetite and what food I could eat,
didn't agree with me or do me any
good I lost weight until I was down
to only 81 pounds. My vitality was
SO low that 1 had no pep at all.
My husband and friends began to
be alarmed about me. They had
me try several medicines, but I felt
no better. Then a relative suggested
Viuna, and after just a few doses,
I began to feel difference. Before
the first bottle was gone, had a
good appetite for the first time in
months. Soon I had gained seven
pounds. Now, my system is regular,
feel fine and can eat anything.

had kidney and bladder trouble for
some time. In only two days I
noticed she was much better and
now she is entirely relieved of her
ailments. She is gaining every day
and looks fine. We both owe all
our good health to Viuna."
Viuna acts promptly on sluggish
bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. IL
purifes the blood, clears the skin, re-
stores appetite and digestion, and brings
new strength and energy to the whole
body. Take bottle on trial. Then If
