Where could I find something

heart beating heavily with excite
ment.
Hes written three swell feature
stores for us this last week. You
can find them in the files. And
there's a book of his short stories,
brought out last year by an opti-
mistic publisher-or an altruistic
one.
Don't suppose they sold hun
bred copies, but some day a first
edition of ON My Way may be
worth a small fortune. Personally,
I'd bet on it, so I'm not turning
loose of my copy"

asked.

the newspaper work?" Harry Blaine
demanded when they were seated at
a little porceain-topped table in a
hole-in- wall lunch room across
the street from the Press.
He was again the Harry Blaine
whom Crystal had known for
months and who was her very good
friend, but she was too pre-occu-
pied to notice or care.
Hard-boiled city editor or friend
Harry Blaine meant little to her
now. And she had wondered only
last week if she were falling in love
with him! AS if, when that ire

possibly be in doubt!

question automatically Harry, tell

casually as possible.

The Washington times., 1929-07-13

The Washington Times is giving
all those who banker to rid them
selves of extra poundage the oppor-
tunity to follow the 1S-day diet per-
fected for the stars of Hollywood.
The Times, however, has gone
farther than the original Hollywood
diet and has revised it slightly on
recommendation OF the foremost
dietary experts of the country.
For the last five days The Times
has printed the daily menu for the
diet Today we print herewith the
menus for the sixth and seventh
days. This will give those who have
started on the diet an opportunity to
carry it through over Sunday with
out any interruption to the schedule
as finally evolved by Alfred w. Nc
Cam. internationally famous die
titan, who revised the Hollywood.
Washington Times diet.
Broadcast Daily
In order to insure the widest
possible dissemination Of the diet
menu, it will be broadcast daily from
Station VOL, being one of the fea.
lures of the household chat given
from that radio station every morn.
ing at 10 o'clock.
There are still arising numerous
minor questions which are causing
some vexation to the thousands of
men and women of the city who
have already announced that they
are following the diet.
It being impossible to answer all
of these questions individually and
in detail, it should be remembered
that the guiding factor in follow
ing any diet or prescribed set OF
rules is common sense"
The proper preparation of Melba
toast remains mystery to many.
Some even think that it Is neGes-
sary to obtain a special bread for
its prepare tion. AS explained in
these columns few days ago, the
tt st Is made from any bread. The
bread must be cut as thin as pos"
sible. 1t must then be thoroughly
c~ied out and we'll toasted. Then
it is served without butter.
Another Question
The question of how to escallop
egg plant is another which has
arisen. Any good recipe will serve,
provided as light a sauce as possible
is used. Pot cheese which appeared
in yesterdays menu is simply
another name for cottage cheese,
which can be easily made in the
home or bought in the market.
