KI5AD THIS MUST
.lulla (Irani, n tjulct sort of clrl,
ot nn tintiMiinl typo of bcnuty, lias
been engaged to Dan C'nrnoii ncurly a
year, when sho begins to worry about
a htcadlly growing indifference on lilt
part. Tlio wedding ditto linn been set,
tint tlint' week before, sho ran stand
the agony no longer, and decides to ask
lilm what is wiong. Dually, .lulla
wiltigs from Dan the admission that
lip no longer loes her that there Is
some one else. Although completely
iTVishcd, the brmrly renounces her
claim nnd returns the engagement ring.
TIIKN STAKT THIS STOHV
T1II1 day that followed Julia's scene
with Dan Carson in which she had
leleased him from their engagement
was filled with unutterable torture.
.lnlla never nuito forgot the morning I
afterward. She had not fallen asleep
until nearly dawn, and she had
waked to find Lur-y standing over her
in a dingy kimono. That slcK recollec
tion ot something that had happened
the night before gave Julia the feeling
of almost physical nausea. She wanted
to bury her head in the pillow and be
nlonc, nnd solitude was the most im
possible thing to attain in the Grant
household. .
Lucy, seeing that Julia's eyes were
open, perched on the bed nnd began a
description of whnt she had done last
night. Lucy's descriptions were nil
Mrv much the same. How she looked.
What he said, what she Said, what she'
thought he thought about her. how eay
men weic, and so forth, ' Infinitum I
This morniug, howocv,1 she emieu i.
asking Julia a (pietion.
"Whatever did Dan go home o earl?
for'' Did you hac n quarrel?"
"No."
"I'liul and T came home early and
thought we might linxe n game of cards
and found eerj thing dark. I tried to
wake joii up when I came to bed, but
you were too sound asleep,'"
Julia had not been nsleep, but she
had resolutely feigned it.
I.ucy went over In the dressing tnble
and made n pretense of fixing her hair.
Then she yawned and stretched her slim
arms ocr her head.
"You'd better get up, Julia. This is
Mary's cleaning day, and she hntes
waiting breakfast. Put on a kimono
nnd come on. Don't dress this morn
ing." Julia sprang out of bed. "ou go
on down nnd I'll hurry," she urged.
"You'll be half nn hour if jou wait
to dress."
"Xo, I won't. I piomKc "
And then an I.ucy reluctantly went
downstairs Julia hurried through her
dressing. Her head ached and tenis
stung her ejelids. A great weight
seemed pressing her down all over, and
when she inn downstairs and found
her mother and I.ucy sitting under the
gaslight with Mary, the maid of nil'
work, sullenly bringing in the toast and
eggs, bho felt as if hio could not
bear to sit theie whilcI.ucy and her
motljcr asked questions.
Tlio Grants wcro typical ot many
American families. Mr. Grant wns In
the commission business and made fairly
good money. Neither I.ucy nor Julia
had ever worked nnd there was a maid
ot all work In the house, so that flic
gills hail little to do but take care
ot their own room and help with the
dusting on Mnry's washday. Mrs.
Grant complained nevertheless nbout
everything, and the dinner hour wns
generally the time of day when hills
were tnlKcd over, expenses rehashed
and all complaints confided to the head
of the fa'mily. Lucy rather enjojed these ;
family squabbles, but everything in '
Julia's make-up rebelled against them.
This morning Mrs. Grnnt was in n
very bad humor. Over her coffee cup '
she regarded Lucy disapproving!).
"Lucy, how often havn I told you not
to come to brenkfast looking like that?"
Lucy was reading a letter, but she
looked up at this to stare lit her mother
in surprise, Mrs. Grant, however, had
airenuy id men to .lulin,
"Did you make up Jour quarrel with
Dan?" she nsked crisply.
"Mother, Dan nnd I hadn't quar
reled," Julia protested.
"Something was wrong," Mrs. Grant
insisted, reaching for the sugar that
Mary hnd placed on the tnble. "With
the marriage only three weeks off 1
should think you and Dan might try to
get along better than nu do."
Julia considered n moment. The
thing vould have to bo told, nnd she ignsped Lucy "You're not going to have
might Just is well tell it now and get it n wedding now tlint jour clothes are all
over. Lucy sensing something wrong, bought nnd people know all about it?"

ing curiously nf Jnllu's tene fare. l'en , l7ed. "I must say, Julia Grant, you
Mrs. Grnnt uns stirred by tlio tragedy
in the girl's eye.
Julia looked dlrectlj at her mother.
"Mother," slio began, "there isn't go
ing to be n widding. Dan and I set
tled things last night."
Mrs. Grant set her cnfTee cup down
In the snucer with a crush, Lucy cnught
her breath. Why Julin's marriage had
been one of the certninties of life. This
thing tlint Julia wns sn.ving couldn't be
true.
"oti re not going to lip mnrricil'' '
haven't had much consideration for us
Mrs. Grant waited, her ejes still fixed
on Julin's face.
Julia felt n wave of fnintness sweep
ocr her anil she locked her fingers in
her lap.
"Dan is in love with some one else."
she mnnaged to saj . "lie told me o

Time was when a father
proudly stuck out h i s
chest and said "Look at
my boy; he's a full head
taller than the other lads
of his age." But tallncss
alone didn't prove the
case for health not un
less it was backed up with
proper weight. We know
now that every inch in
height must carry i t s
proper weight in pounds
or the child is under
nourished. And the examinations
of applicants for the Stu
dents' Army Training
Corps showed one boy out
of every five unfit for ser
vice because of conditions
due to malnutrition.
Statistics from regular
army examinations show
ed the same percentage.
Consult the tables op
posite. See whether your
child is stunted. If below
normal weight, consult
your phsician. If the
trouble is in the child's
diet, he will probably ad
vise a wider use of milk
for milk is nature's best
food for children.
