Ideally fitted to preside over a din- ner table.
 Jarvis Happ was very much in his element-sparkling magnetic, witty. Robert Caise had 6 certain sullen air of defiance, as though he objected to the manner in which Jarvis Happ and Mrs Happ enjoyed the semi-formality of the occasion. Norman Happ seemed to devote much of his attention to making certain that Millicent was placed at her ease. Whereas, Rob- ert Caise seemed to be far more selfish, interested more In the im- pression he was making, and from time to time Millicent caught him studying her surreptitiously.
 Watching Mrs Happ, Millicent realized that no matter what differ ences of opinion they might have. whenever Mrs Happ, seated herself at the table she would at once be- come the perfect hostess-a queen of the house, ruling with regal air.
 When the meal was finished, Cynthia Happ tucked Millicent's arm through hers. and said, 'Wouldn,t you like to see the house ?"
 Without waiting for an answer, she piloted Millicent through Q series of rooms. Her manner was graciousness personified. She paused to comment on a tapestry here, painting there, or, perhaps, an antique or some curio.
 When they returned to the library she said, And now I sup pose Jarvis will want to tell you something about your duties but, in the meantime. I want to tell you something about myself"
 Millicent looked at her in per- plexity.
 About yourself?" she asked.
 "Yes." Mrs Happ said smiling "If you listen to the gossip that runs around the servants halls you will find that I'm a thoroughly selfish, interruptions, spoiled wo- man. Please remember that you're not to be treated here as n servant. You will be more like one of the family. And remember that it will be just as well for you to form your own conclusions about things. rather than to listen to servants gossip. You know one can only maintain discipline by keeping

In spite of doctors advice and all the horrible diet-tragedy stories that women hear, a good many who want to lose a few pounds persist in figuring out some out landish diet and then risking their health by following it. To be sure. most of them do lose weight, but the chances they take are too seri- ous to be advisable.
 You never should start a rigid diet until you have consulted your doctor. He is the only person who can tell you exactly what foods you need and which ones you can eliminate. While you're there. bet ter ask his advice = about reduc: ing exercises you plan to do.
 You can't survive for days and days on liquids only. You won't starve, of course, bu you may become quite i'll. Anyway, even if you don't get sick, you're likely to lose most of your friends as well as some weight.
 The average person has a bad disposition when hungry, and un- less you eat enough solid food to prevent that almost painful gnaw- ing in your stomach you're apt to be annoying to have around.
 The ideal way to lose weight is to cut down the size of the por- tions of everything you eat. Or der one chop instead of two. two tablespoons of peas instead of four.

WHEN HIGH PRICE OF CALVES LIVER CALLS YOU, CHEAPER KINDS CAN BE MADE TASTY.
 By MARY F. DAGUE
 (NEA Service Staff WpitCPl

The dietitians quarrel about a lot of things, but they still present a united front on this question of giving children liver or course calves liver. maybe because of this very unanimity of the dietitians. is sky-high. But beef, lamb and pig liver will serve the purpose. And If you save the liver of your Sunday chicken for the baby, that will give him his weeks quota.
 Beef and pig livers have to be carefully prepared to be palatable. Always use liver as quickly as possible after 1t comes from the market. At least, take it quickly from the paper and keep in the coldest part of the refrigerator until wanted. When ready to cook, wipe with damp cloth and put In a sauce pan. Add boiling water to cover and simmer until tender. It takes about twenty minutes to cook calves liver and thirty to thirty-five minutes for beef and pig. :.
 Another way to serve 1t to three-year olds is to form it in little flat cakes and broil.
 Tiny balls of finely chopped liver may be poached in hot stock and served with riced vegetable moistened with cream Remeni- Der that Kver Is lacking in fat and add an extra bit of butter or cream to the vegetable in order to Insure a we'll balanced meal.

weeks in hospital and the risk of general anesthesia. When sur geon considers these newfangled methods from his own private viewpoint he can sec what we're driving at.
 remember the disgust with which a colleague of mine com mented on the great number of throat specialists and their fami- lies who came to him for diather- my extirpation of the tonsils while the same brass specialists were publicly throwing cold water on the method as dangerous" or Unsatisfactory"
 I characterize the improjaganda of the American Medical Associa- tion against the ambulant treat ment of hernia as unethical be- cause it is unethical for any in- divdiual medical man or any cli- que or group of medical men to publish or distribute t othe laity warnings or unsubstantiated views against a remedy or method which is in wide use by other members of the same medical organization and in equally good standing in the medical profession.
 It is just as fair and as ethical for me to raise a hullabaloo here against an operation which is in wide use by reputable physicians or surgeons or to tell unsophisti- cated laity that the operation is "a dangerous procedure" or that it might easily result in serious harm" to the patient, as 1t Is for the present regime of the Ameri- can Medical Association to circu- late this unwarranted slur upon the work done by many of the most progressive physicians in the coun- try. But ethics doesn't cramp the style of the A. M. A. much. The big shots of the oligarchy take the attitude that the mere mem- bers out in the sticks must "do as we say, not as we do." And they get away with it, too.
 As many readers know( have been impressed with the value of the ambulant method for hernia, since I discovered the fine work in that field that was done by Dr Paul Levi of Gowanda, N. Y. Now, after having seen these thir. ty patients under Dr Kretzschmar's treatment and talked with them and examined them, am inclined to think anybody a bit goofy who voluntarily submits to the radical operation for hernia without first having given the injection treat ment a fair try.

 You will need them. You will dress for dinner. It's at 8. 1 was instructed to tell you that you will eat with the family, except when guests are present. When there are guests, you can either have your meals served in your room, or cat with the servants"
 She surveyed Millicent. and said, T presume you'll have your meals In your room. And, if you want some advice from me, don't let either one of the young men start making eyes at you. You're pretty, and Master Robert never overlooks . pretty face or a pretty figure. You've got both, But his mother doesn't know what goes on in the house.

 Really; Miilicent said, I'm not interested. I think if you'll excuse me I'll take bath and clean up for dinner. You're sure that I'm to eat with the family?' ?''
 "Oh yes. It isn't, as much of a privelege as you think, and there's company most of the time. Of course, they may invite you to eat when there's company. but that'll only be when it's some business acquaintance of Mir Happ's. The rest of the time :"
 Mllicent got to her feet, smiled her thanks and dismissal.
 Thank you ever so much. Mrs Eaton" she said.

 Millicent nodded.
 And now" she said, I'm going to turn you over to Jarvis. I see that he wants to talk business with you and he has Dick Gentry with him."
 Millicent turned to meet the smiling eyes of Jarvis Happ. Walk ing at his side was man of ap- proximately 45 years of age a man who seemed faultlessly groomed. His hair was streaked with gray at the temples. He had q close e-cropped mfstache. quick alert eyes. nose glasses with a prominent bridge.
 MT Happ performed the intro auctions.
 MT Gentry" he explained to Millicent, lis q business partner of mine. We have been carrying on joint operations together. They started as q side line, and I've been letting Dick keep the books and attend to most of the details and correspondence. Now the business is getting too big to be treated as side issue, so we're going to turn the books over to you. If you wouldn't mind going up to my study we'll follow you in few moments and make some prelimi- nary explanations - I believe my wife showed you the study"
 "Oh yes" she said. You wish me to go now?"
 He nodded.
 She turned and left the room, conscious of the eyes of Dick Gen. try focused upon her figure, taking in every motion of her 1.-the body.
 She entered the study and had barely closed the door when Ro- bert Caise flung it open and rush. ed into the room, his eyes glitter ing with triumph.
 "Now." he said, i've got it."
 Got what?" she asked, irritation in her voice.
 He whipped photograph from his pocket.
 This" he said. lis photograph of the Murder Girl"
 Millicent Graves schooled herself to held her face without expression as she stared at her own picture.
 Well" she said, what about it?'
 "Blond. you see," said Caise, but all that we have to do is touch up the hair and the complexion a little and we have this"
 He whipped another photograph from his pocket. in which the hair had ben colored with photographic oil paints, and the complexion of the skin had been made slightly darker.
 Millicent Graves glanced up from the photograph. knowing that ap- prehension showed in her eyes.
 She met the young mans tri- umphant grin. .&

AMBULANT TREATMENT or HERNIA PROVES HIGHLY
 STCCESSElIL

I can think of at least score of goods doctors in various parts of the country who are enjoying uniform success with the injection treatment of hernia. All of these physicians are Fellows or Mem- bers of the American Medical As sociation. Some of them teach the method to other physicians, either in their private offices or in medi- cal school clinics. No doubt there are hundreds of other physicians of equally good standing now us- ing this ambulant method in their practice.
 Yet the clique of self-seeking politicians now in control of the American Medical association, snug little gentlemen who have plenty of leisure to tell real doc tors what's what and what isn't, busily circulate impropaganda Cat the expense of the rank and file of the A. M. A.) calculated to frighten people off from the mod ern method and keep them coming to the operating table for hernia operations.
 One well known" but, oddly enough, anonymous general sur geon" the A. M. A. impropaganda quotes. appears to harbor a grave fear that injection of hernia Is a dangerous procedure" and might easily result in serious harm to Q patient" But he doesn't divulge just what the imaginary danger is, nor does he tell the credulous lay man( to whom the American Me- dical Association directs this un- ethnical warning) just why or how it might do harm. Of course the hypothetical well known general surgeon" can't explain the basis of his fears about this, for there Is no danger and the treatment does no harm. The truth Is, and 1 chal- lenge any well known" anonymous authority" the A. M. A. may con- jure up to controvert this with trustworthy statistics, the truth is that the standard surgical treat ment for hernia is actually as is the ambulant or inection treat ment. in competent hands. Let mo make that last part more emphatic I am speaking here of the work or reputable qualified physicians and surgeons, and not of the ways of quacks. A reputable doctor gets new patients through the recom- mendation of his old patients: a quack has to get new ones by ap- pealihg to popular credullty.
 The other day l had the oppor- tunity to see thirty patients under ambulant treatment for hernia at the skilful hands of Dr Karl F.. Kretzehmar in Los Angeles. Some of these patients had been cured of very large hernias. Several or them had been operated upon, with recurrence of tho hernia. Three of them had had post-oper- ative ventral hernia. Dr Kretzch- mar regards injection treatment as ideal for the last mentioned con ditlon. One of the patients was n surgeon. His hernia was appar- ently cured, after some six or eight injections. He, too, Is a Fellow of the American Medical Assocla: tion and a ''well known general surgeon" He expressed himself as entirely satisfied with the treat ment, which he had elected in pre- ference to lay-up of several

 If liver Is -broiled it should be cooked over low fire. Other- wise the edges will be leathery and tough.
 If you praised 1t with vegeta- bles use the whole liver and if it Is beef or pig, parboil first. Then skewer or tie into compact shape and cover the top with thin ly sliced bacon or salt pork. Place in casserole with vegetables and bake slowly two or three hours.
 Rice is good with liver instead of potatoes. Creamed onions, to- mato jelly salad and chocolate cake with Alligretti icing make an inviting family meal, inexpensive, too. if beef liver is substituted for veal.

Caise looked at her with a speculative frown. His eyes were defiant, challenging. His mouth was somewhat petulant.
 Perhaps" he said, you're telling the truth, but I'd bet money Jarvis was working on the Drimgold case, and when he brought you home with him ;"
 His voice trailed off into specu- lative silence.
 Say" he said, "that could be a black wig, you know. Or you could have dyed your hair the midst of sentence, took two swift steps toward her.
 Millicent drew back her hand.
 "Get out she said, Cor I'll claw the skin from you face"
 No" he said slowly, almost judicialiy, staring at her, ''it wouldn't be the skin of 8 blond"
 Abruptly he smiled and the smile transformed his counte- nance. He seemed to have lost all the surliness of his manner.
 "Frightfully sorry if I bothered you" he said, but knew l had to take you by surprise if was going to find out anything"
 She kept her dignity, but there was something disarming in the smiling friendliness of the young man.
 "Come on," be pleaded. snap out of it. If s're going to be secretary to Jaf@2s Happ. you're going to be in the house with me to . bad start"
 'Under those circumstances" she said coolly, T think it would be best for you to elave the room at once."
 ''Not a bad idea. that he agreed with smiling acquiescence. After all, you know. the mater is fright fully strict, and she's got ideas oh, you'll find 1t out in time."
 He opened the door a crack. stood listening, then thrust a eau tiously appraising head out into the corridor, turned and grinned at her.
 Coasts clear,' he reported, "Your good name is still intact. I'll pc formally introduced to you lat,r. See that you don't let on you've seen me before. Au revoir."
 He slipped out into the corridor, closed the door.
 The door clicked shut.
 Millicent faced 1t with a sink ing sensation in her stomach. feeling of precipitation oozing from every pore of her skin. Good heavens! What did the man know? What was she getting into? And. come to think of 1t what had she done with that notebook? She remembered taking it from Drimgold's office. She must have had 1t with her when she went to the hotel. She remembered that she must put 1t in a safe place yes, she had it now she'd slid it in back of shelf in the closet. then when she'd gone out in the morning she'd forgotten to take 1t with her. And now. what would happen? Would they find 1t?
 Millicent Graves dropped into a chair. crossed her knees and start cd thinking the situation out.
 She concluded that the notebook was safely hidden. It would be almost impossible for anyone to find it, unless they were making q careful search. Certain it was that the hotel employees. fin cleaning up the room, would never stumble upon 1t.
 A knock sounded on the door of the room.
 Millicent clenched her hands.
 "Who Is it?" she asked.
 The door opened. Millicent saw the butler and the chauffeur laden with boxes. Standing slightly to one side was a woman dressed in black, who surveyed Millicent with i4lack, lack-luster, eyes and said. I'm Mrs Eaton, the. housekeeper. These are clothes for you"
 The men deposited the boxes on
