Small Dogs Make

Introducing Frisky, a fox

is catching ball. Miss Fisher
also owns Frisky's dam, and his
brother.
The three make excellent
watchdogs, according to their

Although the fox terrier Is
really not listed as a guard or

questionable characters.
If the dog is expected to give
notice by barking at the ap-
proach Of strangers, one of the
small breeds, like the fox ter
rier, will prove most desirable,
for they, as a rule, are more
wide awake and active than the
larger breeds.
Watch-dogs are taught solely
by experience. They should be
encouraged to bark at rough
characters, and Scolded if they

spent fetching and carrying and

hardened the color in her

she was still handsome in a

and Herbst, the milkman, had
been in love with her for a long

get a good idea Of what is ex-
pected Of him by training him
to guard different articles and
not allowing any one but his

Il hope you spoke to him
about using the side door,"
well, I threw out a broad
hint or two" Uncle Worthy
teetered back and forth on his
heels, his back to the fireplace.
II told him that we bolted the
front door every night when
we went to bed, and that we
went to bed early. I said he'd
have to come in at the side
door if it was late, and I gave
him the key. I think we won't
have much trouble about that"
Susan got up from her chair
and faced them all. why do
we go through all this agony
for six dollars a week when
we don't have to?" she asked.
I'VE pay Anna eight, don't we?
And we have to feed her, too.
If we let her go and did the
houSework ourselves we'd be
saving more than six a week.
And you know this roomer bus
mess will never work out.
Well all hate it"
Useless Deceit
well, we're not going to let
Anna co." Aunt Edna answered
so firmly and promptly that
Susan suspected she had been
thinking Of discharging her her
self. We've come down far
enough in the world already
without doing that. Besides,
Susan, things are bound to pick
up presently, and we'll have
some money again. Rents al
ways go up in the spring. And
when they do we may be able
to let this man co."
"You may depend upon it
that there's always a maid to
answer the doorbell in other
houses where Wallace Steffen
goes to CALL" said Lutte, arch
ing one eyebrow at Susan.
Besides We never could do the
houSeWork without Anna. We're
busy from morning to night,
as it is"
That was hardly the case,
however. Between them Susan
and Anna did practically all of
the housework. Lutte and Aunt
Edna mended clothes and sewed
buttons on the garments that
came up from Anna's ironing
board in the basement every
week. Lutte cleaned the bird
cage and did" the goldfish.
She walked to market every
morning, in her effort to keep
her figure, and she watered
the Boston ferns in the dining
room bay window.
"The most embarrassing part
Of having a guest in the house

Lutte unused after a minute or

Uncle Worthy. He was like
them, and yet he was not like
them. He had. their heavy
body, but there was nothing
heavy and settled in the ex-
preston of his face. There was
a twinkle in his eye, and a
certain larky air about him.
One or two nights a week
he stayed out for dinner, and
the family knew that he spent
those evenings with a widow
who was one Of his clients-a
Mrs. Ada Hopper. His office
was far downtown near the
High Level Bridge, and he left
the house at $50 sharp every
morning like a man with a
large and important business
to look after.
He could never be reached at
his office after ! O'Clock and
he made no secret Of the fact
that he usually lunched at his
club, the Hermit Club, and
spent the rest Of the afternoon
each day playing bridge there
with his cronieS. Contact with
people-that's the thing that
counts in the business and pro-
fessional world" he often said

cubbyhole of an office.
John was nothing like him.
He and Susan both looked like
their dead mother, whose name
had. been Susan Cullen before
her marriage to their father.
She had died when they were
children, and it had been their
lot to grow up in a household
of middle-aged people who knew
very little about children.
They had been reared on

"Who was the man that dad

a minute ago?" John asked as
they all sat down at the large
round table in the middle Of the
dining-room.
THAT must have been our
new roomer." Susan shook out
the folds of her napkin as she
spoke. Aunt Edna still insisted
that they all have clean napkins
at every meal, just as they had
had them in the palmy days
when there had been resident

Susan often spent an entire
morning standing at the board
in the basement, ironing piece

the hospital, I am told, and
the records show that patients
taking the diet lost six to 10
pounds in two weeks. This
period :. was followed by two
weeks rest from the diet. after
which the patients returned TO
1t, and lost as much again.
Some of the patients lost as
much as so pounds in a few
months, and are said to have
done it without ever feeling
hunger or weakness, and with
out interruption of their usual
activities.
Advantages
There are several advantages
TO this diet which are not
present in the more elaborate
methods for. reducing. The ex.
|pense is small-bananas and
skinned milk being among
our relatively least expensive
3oodstuffs.
e It is easy to follow, even
when travelling or visiting. as
there is no complicated prepa-
ration necessary, and the in
gradients are usually to be
1ound anywhere.
I understand that soda foun-
tainS are taking up the diet
in a big way, in order to win
back a large number Of women
patrons who have been forced
to pass such fountains with
averted head, and clenched
hands, in order to avoid the
temptation Of rich and fatten-
ing drinks and foods. There.
fore, women who work and
run out to the nearest drug
store for a snack lunch, can
placidly continue with their
diet, and watch the pounds
melt off.
Schedule
Patients on this diet eat four
to six bananas, and drink three
or four glasses Of skinned
milk every day. For less
stringent diets, the bananas
are increased to seven or eight
. day, and the milk to four
glasses a day.
Nothing else, of course. may
be eaten during the entire diet
ing period, until the two weeks
respite, when any reasonable
selection of food may be con-
Sumed.
I would not advise wading
heavily into starches and fats,
but a normal healthy consump-
ton of meat, fish, green vege-
tables and fruits, plus plenty
Of fluids, should not add much
Of the lost poundage.
Mind you, I am not recon-
mending this diet am not
recommending any reducing
diet, for, fundamentally, that is
q matter strictly between you
and your family physician.
Seek Advice
No one, except a doctor, can
definitely decide just what
your system lacks or needs:
just what your correct weight
should be according to your
age, physical characteristics.
and mode of living: or how
much mauling and general ex.
Fermentation your general
health will stand.
I am simply telling you what
the banana diet is, and how it
may be followed-but before
following it or any other diet,
I would certainly advise you to
60 to your doctor, have a com.
plete overhaul, and follow his
advice.
