Because I'm alreday beautiful inside" she said seriously. It was true. Os the pounds dropped away they took sluggishness and the old inferiority with them. She was lighter on her feet, lighter in mind and spirit. With the lessening of her shadow confidence grew.
 "Jeff," she faltered as they neared the hotel, I'm sorry about tonight. I'll never do it again. promise"
 "Aw, that's all right" Jeff re- piled boyishly. "Guess anybody's got a right to kick over the traces once in while."
 "You were an angel"
 "Me an angel-that's good"
 They parted on the best of terms, Susie passed the drug store without a glance.
 By the middle of December Harker's was elateo with Susie'S progress. The beautifying campaign had continued to hold the interest of the public. Jeff's ideas concern ing the radio program and the question and answer column had been tried and found effective. She Susie fans grew by leaps and bounds her name was a byword. Curiosity was at high pitch.
 Often Susie laughed at her fol- lowers, imagining them at their exercises, imagining how often they broke their diet. Their results would be negative, but not hers, oh no, not hers! She glowed with the inner light of achievement. One morning, stepping over to faster a garter clip to the hem of her stocking, she caught a mir been tried and found effective. The stopped, transf1Xed. It was beau- tiful leg, slim and rounded, tap ering down to a slender ankle. In fact the entire line from neck to ankle was breathtaking lovely. For the first time Susie thrilled to the miracle 0 her own beauty, was in toXicated by 1t, wanting more and still more.
 AS yet nothing radical had been done about Susie's face and she gazed at her reflection with dis satisfaction, not unmixed with hope. If they had been able to do so much for her body what might she not hope for her face. Strapping a wide belt around her slim waist she twirled on one toe before the mirror remembering the smooth little girls on the campus, remembering Dick.

 JEFF BOWMAN-His chief con- cern was to make Susie as beau tiful as she wanted to be.

CHAPTER XIV

Susie's eyes blazed, fire wiping away the guilt. Give me that malt ed milk" she commanded through set teeth.
 No
 "Youre not my keeper" she fiared. Try minding your own affairs and see how it seems"
 Jeff was white with anger. 50 this is the way you double-cross the Chief" he accused scornfully You let him spend time and money on you"
 q make money for him and you know it." Her eyes, frantic with desire, chung to the glass of matted milk. Jeff carried it to the foun- tain and paid the check, When he returned to Susie she was trem- bling. Please let me have just a little of it." she begged, Just a swallow"
 Jeffs anger subsided in rush of pity. T can't let you have tt, Susie" he said gently, putting his big lean hand over hers. Be a soldier, fight it out, can't you?" At the numb shake of her head he asked beseechingly, Have you done this before?" his hand tight ening on her.
 Her mouth worked. No" Sud- denly then she burts into tears. "I'h so h-hungry, Jeff."
 Susie's tears frightened Jetf, There was something so despair ing about them. Not versed in feminine nature he had no past experience by which to be reas- sured To him tears meant dis aster. He did not realize that, to girls a good cry was of no more importance than a good laugh, that it almost always paved the way for an uplift of spirit.
 He said, Don't cry, Susie, there's a good girl And, franti- cally, when she only cried harder, I'll have the man make you an- other matted milk and we'll call the whole thing off I didn't know we'd make you suffer sol didn't rehlize-.'
 When he talked Susie got up ant started for the door Jeff fol- lowed. The fountain boy snick- cred and Jeff shot him reproach- ful look. Outside, he found that Susie was still weeping and cast about for a means of comfort.
 "Let's go to Edna" he suggested. "pouldn't you like to see Edna?"
 Y-yes."
 They walked to the car and Jeff solicitiously helped Susie in. Walking to the other side he slid under the wheel. Then Jeff did a strange thing. Putting an arm around Susie he pulled her head against his shoulder. She buried her face in his coat and sobbed in an abandoned way that only added to his masculine terror.
 If he could but have known 1t Sisie was having one of the few

really good times she had ever experienced in her barren life Never had she known the utter joy of weeping upon a sympathetic male shoulder. She no longer wept because of hunger. Her tears went back to the fraternity party, to the years of repression and frustrated longing, they were the outward sign that Susie's soul was breaking through its bonds.
 "There, there, honey" Jeff crooned. "There, there, honey Jeff's mother mad talked like that to him when he was a very small boy. "I'll tell that old Sven 8 few things in the morning. I won't lei him starve you, Susie"
 Having every intention of will ingly going on to the starvation point she mumbled something as il vastly comforted. Susie was be- ginning to know her way about instinctively she encouraged Jeff in his role of protector. After a while she sat up, strengthened hel hat and wiped her eyes. Jeff, still nightly distressed, started the car and hastened to the safest port in any old storm, his mother.
 Edna" he said worriedly when they went in, "Susie's been crying She can't take it-it's asking too much"
 q can too take it." Susie qua vered.
 Edna was all sympathy. Putting an arm around Susie she led her to chair. You poor child" she murmured. What have they been doing to you?"
 Jeff let out his breath on re- lieved sigh. He sat on one side of Susie, Edna on the other, while they talked it over. Before the conversa- tion ended they were all laughing at Susie's dramatic tale of how she had been persecuted, she even more than the others. With greac pride she folded pleats in her dress to display her new waistline and showed her hands, soft and white, and nails growing long and pointed.
 You should see my feet" she went on childishly. They feel SC good and are really beautiful"
 And your skin, Susie" Edna put in enthusiastically. "It's get- ting so clear and pretty"
 Do you think SOP" Susie in- quired delightedly. And have you missed a chin?"
 While they were talking the bell rang and John Harker was ad- mitted. It seemed he was taking Jeff's mother to the theater. The way Edna fluttered and the way MT. Harker looked at her did not go unnoticed by Susie. They talked little of Susie's program, MT. Harker appeared to be much pleased with what had been ac- complished, nothing was said of her near downfall. They all left the apartment together, Jeff to take Susie to the hotel, Edna and MT. Harker to be ushered into a long, low car by liveried chauf- feur.
 Come to see me often, Susie,' ' Edna said as they parted.
 Susie looked after the car. Isn't she lovely, Jeff? MT. harker thinks so, doesn't he?"
 Yep" said Jeff. T wish he didn't like her quite so we'll"
 T used to hate beautiful wom- en-" Susie observed plaintively, but I don't any more"
 "Why don't you?" Susie's views never failed to amuse Jeff.

. STAMP NEWS
THE New York Worlds Fair is

THE New York Worlds Fair IS A going to bring out number of commemorative postage stamps.
 The United States will lead the list with one value, followed by Brazil, Liberia, Ecuador, Norway, and Rumania. Canada, Iceland, France and Salvador are consider ing such issues and very likely many other countries taking part in the exposition will swell the list.
 The visit of the British king and queen to Canada and the United States next summer may result in a special U. s. stamp. Canada is almost certain to issue one stamp, possibly a set of three.
 Two postal sets, one airmail and one regular, will be issued by the Panama Canal Zone this year.
 Six airrnail values ranging from i've cents to $1 will be issued in February to mark the 10th anni- versary of the Canal Zone airmail service. Designs will be taken from original sketches.
 The regular series, to be issued in August to mark the 18th an- niversary of the opening of the canal, will comprise IS values ranging from one cent to 50 cents. They will depict scenes in the Isthmus before and after the canal was constructed.
 Interesting new issues:
 French colonials from Dahomey, Guadeloupe. French Guiana, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, New Gale donia, Niger territory. French Sudan, Togo.
 Japan-nine separate sets planned showing scenes from Japan's IF national parks. There viii be four stamps to a set and nine miniature sheets in addition, each containing one stamp from a set.

Student Failures Blamed on Loss of Interest In School Work

Of every 100 students starting i'll the fifth grade of school, 37 will not graduate with their class, according to an analysis of U. s. government statistics made by the Children's In- stitute. New York City.
 Of the original 100 students in the fifth grade, only 83 will be promoted to the sixth grade at the end of the year; another twelve per cent will fall by the wayside between the sixth and seventh years; and final eight per cent will drop out before the end of the eighth year, making total of 37 who have experienced failure in the intervening three years.
 According to the Children's Insti- tute, loss of interest in school work appears to be the principal cause of children's failure to advance nor- mally. Large classes, children of un- equal ability and overburdended teachers are among the factors re- sponsible. Although the average text book of today is attractive, 1t seems tht some special enrichment of the study course is needed, if child is to find and develop his native tal- ents. A helpful method is to stim- ulate the curiosity inherent in every child by surrounding him with books
