Kate cheerfully, beginning to
serve the vegetables. And every
thing raised right here at home.
Norah has a pressure Gamer and
she and I a like mad from the
time the very first vegetable
sticks its nose up in the garden.
And there's a splendid freezer
locker plant at the county seat
which we manage to keep filled
with meat"
Gail murmured something, ac-
cepting the plate that Norah
passed to her. Charles began an
anecdcte of the past, some baby
adventure of Calls. He told it
well. He had a keen, dry wit, the
sort that vas never unkind or
leering; he had great charm of
manner and he must have been
tremendously good looking. He
was still a handsome man, though
Gail found it hard to believe that
he Vas only forty-five, for he
looked at least ten years older.
His eyes rel tired and his face
was thin, almost gaunt, though
the sun-bronze from last summer
had not yet faded. Perhaps sun
burn lasted here the year around,
she told herself a little wildly.
She was stingingly conscious OF
Greg across the table throughout
the meal; when she met his eyes,
which she did as seldom as she
could. there Was the derision, the
malice that made her cring in
wardly. But she kept her chin up
and went steadily on with her
meal, making herself laugh and
chatter and play her well accus-
toned role as a charming house
guest. From earliest childhood
she had been taught that she and
LISA could not afford to be any
thing but agreeable and charm
ing, since they must count on
overlapping invitations in order to
keep going.
The thought Of LISA weakened
her a little. LISA was spending
"a few days" at a house party
at Miami Beach; later, she would
go north with her host and host
ess, with perhaps a stop at Aiken;
eventually, there would be a
cruise with Martin Kincaid.
She stifled her thoughts and
winked a little to keep the tears
back, and went quietly on eating
and being charming and interest
ed and agreeable.
After supper, when Norah and
Kate began removing the dishes
and scraping plates, Gail uncer-
tainly offered her assistance. Blu
Kate patted her shoulders lightly
and said, "In that lovely frock?
And with that beautiful mani
cure? No, no, my dear. You run
along and visit with your dad.
You can help later on, after he's
got over the first thrill of having
you here"
Kate hesitated and then said
impulsively, SIT means more than
l could possibly tell you, Gail, to
have you here. He has been very
lonely for you. He was mad about
you as a baby and he's never
stopped feeling bereft that he
couldn't watch you grow up. I do
so hope you can be happy with us
and stay a long time. He needs
you, dear
Gail said, a little shaken, "I-
dijn't know. I'd have come a long
time ago, only - well. I guess

Human Nutrition

Human nutrition differs from
that of animals in two import re-
spects: first, we are not raising
humans for more body weight and
greater reproduction, as in the case
with domestic animals, and sec
ondly only a small part of human
food consumed is in its original
form as raised by the farmer.
