Exciting anticipation spread up

CHAPTER Two

THE CORRIDORS Of the Long
s.reth hospital were a. familiar to
DIR. singleton's daughter as the
halls of her own home, but she
couldn't ever remember entering
them with her heart knocking
against her ribs before that day
when she paid her first visit to
Eric Adams. And she couldn't ever
remember stopping to take long
look at herself in the long mirror
beside the elevator.
1t wasn't really q long look. She
was afraid that II she took sec
ond one, she wouldn't see the same
pleasing picture. But pleasing It
was, she knew, when Eric turned TO
see her standing In the doorway.
He didn't speak at once-he let
his eyes sweep over her slowly and
then he smiled before he spoke.
Framed by the doorway, she
looked like q magazine cover girl.
She had brought him an armful Of
pink blooms from her mothers gar
den and they lay In her arms
against the blue Of her linen frock
which changed the gray Of her
wide-set eyes to the same hue.
There were many things In her
eyes, q kind Of anxiety and SYM
pathy and eagerness. And these ex-
pressions made her face look pref
tier than 1t was. and they spoke for
her.
Eric said, HALLE, Halle, Halle!
I've been saying your name over.
I like It. And I like you for coming
so soon. You know you're just like
I remembered you"
Halle sat down stifi1y on the
edge Of a chair. You should be
congratulated on your memory.
Fancy remembering the way I look
since yesterday"
Yesterday seems quite Q long
time ago"
IT know" she said, her voice
dropping q tone or two" It wasn't
any fun, was II? But It's only q
broken arm ard Dad says you'll be
all mended In 4 couple Of weeks.
We we're going to do every
thing we can for you"
Are your" He grinned. THAT
means that you'll come to see me
every day. and read to me. and talk
to me?
II expect you'll have lots Of call
ers. And you'd get tried Of seeing
me every day. Now look. I've
brought paper and pen. Wouldn't
you like me to write your family 2"
His young face went hard sud-
denly. Don't you worry your pref
ty blond head about my family. I
don't worry about them"
That isn't the idea, exactly.

the fat child Is the fat child him

obstetrician who has been making
astudy Of these cases, the fat child
is the one who is right.
There IL not nearly 20 much TO
worry about as might appear on
what can be called the surface.
Nor 10 there as much reason TO fear
some deep-seated arrangement Of
the ductless glands as many stud
les have led US to believe.
We have been told that the pitui-
tary, sometimes the thyroid, and
oftentimes the gonad glands are
deficient in these cases. Doubtless
there is q considerable element Of
disturbance of this sort present in
some cases, but in most instances
the fat child, according to DR.. P. G.
Jeans Of the University Of Iowa,
is fat because he or she eats more
than other children.
Parents Puzzled
This has got to be true; it's
mathematical. But the parents
want to know why the child eats
too much; or they are puzzled by
the apparent discrepancy that
they think they observe to the
effect that everything the child
eats turns to fat"
This has been blamed on the
glands, and doubtless, a. I say,
there il some perhaps glandular
disturbance which changes the
rate Of the child's nutrition in
many cases.
Case studies Of q large number
Of these children show that they
are not only a little heavier, but
also taller than the average child.
The bone age, as shown by X-ray.
is more advanced than that Of the
average child. In other words,
