"Faulty Nutri

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
A GIRL AND
A New and Vital Romance of City Life
by Virginia Terhune Van *Ve Water
CHAPTER XLdt
(Copyright, 1916, Star Company)
Agnes Morley stood facing Dr. Mar
tin. her cheeks pale, her eyes anxious.
The pair had Just come out of Miss
Lucy's bedroom, where they had left
the invalid in a light slumber follow
ing the alarming attack which had
caused the physician to summon the
niece from downtown.
The man closed the living room
door before speaking. Jennie had
been ordered to listen for Miss
Lucy's lightest call.
"As 1 told you a few minutes
ago." Dr. Martin said, "this seizure
is the worst, by far, that your aunt
has had. I am afraid there may bo
more trouble than I thought, that
there may be some cause which I
had not suspected for these attacks.
However, that is a matter that can
only be ascertained by observation
and, perhaps a little later, by a
consultation. Meanwhile, the pa
tient must have skilled care. I did
not think she needed it at first,
Now I know she does."
"Jennie O'Neill," began Agnes.
But the doctor interrupted her.
"Jennie is absolutely inadequate
at this Juncture," he asserted
brusquely. "She can give certain
medicines if told to; she can wait
on the patient whan nothing un
foreseen occurs; she can do house
work satisfactorily, I suppose. But
a trained nurse is needed here."
"A trained nurse!" Agnes re
peated aghast. "Oh, Dr. Martin
you know I am willing to do all
that, is possible but would It not
be cheaper for me to stay at home
and take care of my aunt?"
"You couln't do it!" was the
stern reply. "She should have a
trained nurse as I Just said. It
may be she will only need one *or
a couple of weeks long enough for
us to find out Just what's wrong.
But there must be someone who
can take the pulse and temperature
and watch certain nymptoms, as
only a professional can. You could
not do this. Besides—where would
another Job come from were you
to give yours up? And who the
dickens would support you?"
A Trained Nurse
She was silenced for a minute,
while she appreciated the force of
every word he uttered. Yes, Aunt
Lucy should have a trained nurse.
She must have the best that could
be procured. But wiiat about the
expense? Where was the money
to come from for all this? It was
hard enough to pay Jennre's wages
and help with tjie rent, and buy
the supplies for the small house
hold.
"I suppose you are worrying
about the cost of the tnmg, aren't
you?" Dr. Martin broke in upon
her musings. "Well it can't be
helped, and it wont be for long.
Surely your aunt has a little some
thing laid aside agalQst her old
age—hasn't she?"
Pride for her aunt, pride on her
own acount, kept Agnes from telling
him of the pitiful state of the family
exchequer.
"Never mind about the cost!" she
parried. "I want to know about
the nurse. Do you engage her for
us?"
"Surely. She will come this after
noon."
"And Jennie? Shall I let her go?"
"Certainly not! Have her come
every day as she has been doing.
A nurse Is not a machine and she
must take her rest nd her hours oft.
Jennie will have to be with Miss Mor
ley at such times except when you
are at home. Moreover, a nurse is
not supposed to do any housework be
yond caring for the patient's room."
"I see," murmured Agnes.
She saw only too plainly that she
was facing a problem that well
nigh baffled her. But she would not
confess it to the physician who
stood eyeing her so keenly.
"Here is a prescription I want to
have filled," Dr. Martin went on.
"You can take it out yourself, or
stay with the patient while Jennie
takes it out for you. But get it at
once. I may not be able to secure
the nurse I want before late in the
afternoon. You can spend the rest
of the day at home —can't you? I
mean, don't you suppose you can be
spared from the office Just for this
afternoon? What do you think about
it?"
She Telephones
"Perhaps I can," she said. "But I
would rather make sure by tele
phoning and asking permission. I
will do this at once, if you think
best."
"All right that's a good idea,"
the physician agreed. "Your aunt
will sleep for the next hour or two,
and she Is safe for that little while
with Jennie."
Agnes feared to make a nuisance
of herself by going upstairs to use
her neighbor's telephone too often,
so now she went to the drug store,
taking the prescription with her,
and called up the office, asking for Mr.
Bainbridge.
As soon as he heard her voice he
inquired how her aunt was.
"More comfortable Just now,"
Agnes told him. "But she has been
and still is very 111. I was going to
ask you if"
She hesitated, disliking to make
a request that seemed suddenly
very bold to her.
"If you can be spared for the
rest of the day?" Hasbrook Bain
bridge finished the sentence for her.
"Surely you can. Valuable as you
are here, we will get along with
out you somehow. Remember, if
you come down to-day you will be
disobeying my orders. I wish I
could help you, child!"
"Thank you!" she murmured.
His kind tone shook her self - con
trol. "But there's nothing you can
do."
"I can, at all events, think of you
and hope for the best," he assured
her.
Again she thanked him. then
hung up the receiver and went
back home.
She was glad that Miss Lucy
called upon her for numerous atten
tions for the next few hours, for
these left her little time to think,
and she knew there was a question
she must soon answer for herself. It
was the question as to where the
money was coming from to meet all
these new expenses.

Motorless Monoplane
Invented by Maine Man
Boston, Oct. 20. A motorless
monoplane capable of reaching a
height of twelve miles, out of range of
gunfire, is the proposition that A. V.
Wilson, of Bar Harbor, Me., will soon
place before the National Advisory
Board of Aviation.
Mr. Wilson's aeroplane has been
patented and he has been working for
the last five years to solve the problem
of keeping the aviator alive at that
height and at a temperture of from
120 to 210 degrees below zero. The
desired warmth, he says, can be se
cured by a solution of one pound of
lime and eight ouncee of water. This
warmth will prevent a hydrogen tank
from freezing, ho says, and will, there
fore, provide the necessary air for the]
aviator.
The principle of Mr. Wilson's plane
is to counteract gravity by turning the
planes. On calm days, he says, the
piano would have to be shot Into air
with a catapult. Once In flight, how
ever. he clßims that he can stay in the
air Indefinitely.

Pittsburgh, Pa.. Oct. 20. —"I am
bitterly disappointed and humiliated.
Led to believe that my days of work
were over, that I had Boeured a home,
comfort* and career for tho rest of
my life, it has been a shock to discov
er that I wan mistaken, and I could
only take the course which I have
taken," to-day said Miss Susan Ches
nier, 24, regarding the breach of
promise suit she filedd against Victor
Gelbel. a steel manufacturer, 80, ask
ing $50,000,000 damages for her
wounded feelings.
Miss Cheamer is a pretty blonde,
quiet in manner, but very determined
In her resolve to obtain some redress
for her wounded feelings.
"All Miss Chesmer says is false,"
Gelbel said to-day regarding the case
filed against him. "I did not promise
to marry her, I will be very glad to
have the real truth of the matter
known."

Graceful as a Steam Roller
But when she decided to reduce she
went at it in earnest. She nad a diet,
took exercise, and lost forty-eight
pounds. The November Woman's
Home Companion prints her own
story. She says:
"I possessed one hundred and
ninety-three and one-half pounds of
solid fat, and I looked old, though,
counting years, I wasn't; but I com
pared unfavorably with most women
I knew to be of greater age, but less
fat. I stood up, discarded my blanket
and critically surveyed myself. Oh,
the rolls and rolls of nothing but fat!
My frame was blanketed In it! Up
holstered in it!
"I said to myself, "You monster!
You storehouse of fat! You are the
very worst-looking object in your own
home. If you owned any artlclo of
furniture built on your clumsy out
lines you'd pay someone to cart it
away where you couldn't look at it!
You've committed suetcide! You're
about as graceful as a steam roller,
you are!' So I mentally arraigned my
reflection, and sobbed myself limp.
"Meanwhile, enter nurse. 'Why this
sudden shower?' she asked playfully.
I sobbed out my disgust, my loathing,
my realization of my grossness, know
ing all the while a fat woman, even
in grief, is half comedy; yet, too, she is
a monumental tragedy.
"My nurse, to whom I owe so much,
came and sat beside me. 'Oh, my
dear, I am so glad You have
touched my pet subject—fat women!
In my profession I see so much more |
to pity than just sickness. That is
usually but temporary. To me the
sight of a great fat woman, absolutely
satisfied with hersolf, indulgent, slav
ish to food—She is an wnject of pity,
a tragic figure. She Is building a wall
about herself of solid fat, that shuts
out life! Yet she is serenely uncon
scious of it! It was Balzac, whose in
timate knowledge of women Is almost
surpassing belief, who said, "Women
after the ago of thirty-six begin to
show signs of physical deterioration
due to careless living: their step loses
Its lissomeness, almost imperceptibly
the heavier outlines envelop them,
ageing, detroying; yet they smile,
while just ahead Monsieur Adipose
lies in wait to suffocate Symmetry!"
My dear this may not be verbatim, but
it is tho gist of his great warning to
women!' "
Advice to the Lovelorn
YOU OWE HER THE TRUTH
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
A little over a year ago I made the
acquaintance of a young lady working
In the same law office with me. At our
first meeting I took a fancy to her. and
after several weeks begged to call at
her home. ?he was at first reluctant
In granting: the permission. Ever since
I have seen her at least once a week. I
thought I loved her at first, and per
sisted In my call. In the meantime the
girl had learned to love me so Intensely
that she finds herself at present madly
In love. I, on the other hand, though I
have found her to be exceedingly fine
of character, have constantly lost that
first feeling of passionate love for her,
and would gladly cease calling:, but
can't do so. I can't find any excuse to
give the young lady for terminating
our meetings.
JAMES N.
Unless you talk to thlw girl with
f-ankness equal to that which you have
shown in writing to me you are doing
her the greatest Injustice In the world.
Of course, you have not treated her l
fairly, and you seem rather fickle and
not stable and worthy in your emo
, tlonal dualities. Now, don't add cow
ardice and a shrinking of your manifest
duty to what looks like a case of
trifling with the girl's feeling^,
Are your children up
to this standard?
There is nothing that tells so accurately—so inevitably—how well
a child is thriving—what its physical condition is —as its weight.
Compare the weights of your children with this table. It is
from the work of the greatest American authority on the care
and feeding of children.
Dr. L. Emmctt Holt's
Standard Weights of Children
Boys Girls

If your children do not come up to this standard—and you
ask your doctor about it—the first thing he will ask you is
"What do you give them to eat?"
Every child should have delicious, sustaining, tissue-building,
energy-giving, digestible food. The food which combines these
in the highest degree—the food you should get for tomorrow's
breakfast is Cream of Barley—buy it from your grocer today.

'That Blush Upon the Cheek'
Will Cost Milady More
Los Angelea, Cal., Oct. 20. Girls,
prepare yourselves for a shock.
Cosmetics are going up again.
Where yesterday the perfumed Hp
stick, the dainty eyebrow pencil, the
delicate rouges and powders so neces
sary according to the latest decrees
of Dame Fashion, could be bought
reasonably, to-morrow' they will soar
In price in a most dizzy fashion.
Fifteen per cent, raise Is expected
within the week. And this also In
cludes perfumes, toilet waters and
scented oils of all klndß.
Two years ago this sudden raise In
price, Just after the war, did not occa
sion the consternation that it will
cause to-day. For two years ago cos
metics were not the necessary part of
every woman's life that they are now.
But Fashion's edicts, which have in
troduced flowing veils, brilliant colors
and many furs, have made makeup a
part of every woman's toilet.
So now this raise in price will prove
a tragedy.
According to tho experts. It Is tho
war in Europe that is again occasion
ing these added figures on the little
pink boxes and decorated bottles.
Dyes and Ingredients necessary to
make them, and the formulas used are
not to be had In America, and are
difficult to get from Europe.
The only way to avoid this actas
trophe la to lay In a stock ahead, and
many have doue so.
