AIL DRUG STORES Health Associated With Slimness and Laughter The old advice, ‘Laugh and grow faL,“ Is out of date. Not many years ago fatness was regarded as a sign of robust health, but we know now that It Is undesirable even In babies or young children. Dr. Leclimere Anderson, medical ofticer for Doncaster. Kngbtnd. claims that the phrase should he “Laugh and grow healthy.” “Laughter,” he says, “Is essentially associated with good het.lth, hut adipose tissue, if at all undue, cannot he regarded as a fa vorable condition. Leanness of body Is far more likely to be associated with strength ami energy." The fat person, lie explains, has to make his heart and bis muscles work fur harder than they were designed to do, since they ar*. called upon lo deal with an extra load of from one to many pounds. Lor those who wish to become slim and healthy Doctor Anderson recommends the taking of little sugar, bread, or starchy foods —and laughter.

She was certain she had failed, and that Esther, there fore, had won another victory. Why shouldn’t Gray and she laugh at her pitiful attempt to act? She had deliberately to put him out of her life, but she couldn’t put Esther out. Esther was stalking Gray, and Barbara couldn’t bear the thought of her succeeding, for she wasn’t up to him; he could never find even the shadow of content in the pro foundities of her artificiality. Barbara longed to save him from that disillusionment. She had no maid; she hadn’t felt she could afford one. Sleepily, indifferently she re moved her make-up, put on her street clothes, and left the room. From the landing she heard a familiar tap-tap-tap tng on the stage below. Steve was there, and so was H«xvcy, walking back and forth while they talked earnestly. Steve’s attitude hadn’t the smallest trace of condescension for the younger man. Harvey was as well [ dressed as he, and as easy in I his manner, for now probably he was talking business. As she came on down she tried to bring back the picture of the boy Harvey desperately striving to keep life in a mori bund automobile, so that he might use his spare time to make all the money he could. He would always make money, she reflected moodily, always track more material success, but the one spiritual gift he craved he couldn’t have to round his life. Why not? Why not give him that? Why not round one life, at the expense of another that could never be rounded? Steve saw her first, clapped hi# hands, and drawled: “May a lowly insect gaze at a glit tering new star?” “Don’t make fun of me, Steve.” “But I’m not. I’m no Judge of such things, but I should think you’d be fairly satisfied.” That was the trouble. No body would go on record, no one would make a flat state ment about her performance. Then Harvey did. He grasped her hand. “You were good, Bobbie.” There it was, honest un equivocal, important. “Thanks, Harvey. I hope you’re right.” “I am. I’ve come to take you home.” Steve’s face wrinkled ! pleasantly. “And I’m an aide-de-camp from Adelaide. Did you see I’d fetched her after all?" “Yes. How did you do it, Steve?” He laughed. “I think the answer Is that I didn’t. She did it herself. She wanted to come. When I suggested it in trembling tones she agreed as if it were the most natural excursion in the world.” He took a folded page of the program from his vest pocket and handed it to Barbara. On the margin Mrs. Twining had written: “Dear Barbara: You may not know I’m back in town. I am. Will you come to my house to morrow at tea time and gossip with an elderly invalid?” She stared at the paper. She hadn’t expected that. She would go; one obeyed an empress’s commands. She had a sense of a barrier’s having dwindled, glanced up, and surprised, saw that the curtain had been lifted exposing the empty, darkened auditorium. A Night of Song. Prom the Omaha World-Herald.

Give her a chance to find her pretty face again, then take her this.’ Will you tell her that I accomplished my mission most competently? You’re done, Barbara. I’m not going to suggest going any where. Hustle her home, Masters, and you drop in the office to-morrow. We’ll talk that matter over with Jacob Manvel.” Barbara spoke a little wist fully. “You are climbing fast. Harvey. Think of conferring with Mr. Manvel!” Steve laughed. “What’s more natural? That’s how we make money, by conferring with people who can make money for us.” They went through the stage door, and paced down the alley. When Harvey ran out to signal a cab Barbara, against her own wish, it seemed to her, murmured to Steve: i “Gray was in the theater to night.” Steve answered quickly, as if trying not to give signifi cance to his reply: “And not alone.” But the ugly color was there. Ever since she had seen Steve she had been afraid he might say something even darker. What could she do if he did, if some day he or somebody else should tell her that Esther and Gray were to be married? “You told me once,” Steve mused, “that you wanted him to forget you.” “Oh, yes, I told you.” She grasped his arm and pressed it. “I want mm to iorget me, but there are some things, Steve, that I just can’t face.” “My dear Barbara there are a great many things that have to be faced whether one likes them or not.” “But not yet, Steve—” She caught herself. “Not yet,” he answered, “but some people have multiple gifts for gaining their ends.” “You mean Esther Helder.” Steve laughed meaningless. The cab was drawn up, and Harvey called to them: “Come along, that’s so funny?” “Life,” said Steve. “Isn’t it, Barbara?” And for good-night he gave her an ardent wish. “I hope you’ve made a suc cess. I hope you’ve started a career that’ll keep you busy and happy.” “Thanks, Steve.” But as she sank back in the cab she felt as if he had con demned her to some difficult penalty. Harvey didn’t try to talk. Once or twice on the way to her rooming house he patted her hand encouragingly; and as he helped her from the cab he said firmly: “Go to sleep, and don't and ask for. ... the program you are about to hear, comes to you through the courtesy of ... . the program you are now hearing comes to you through the courtesy of ... . oodliver pills smothered in Yessup's mustard, the one and only original Yessup’s .... tire program you have just heard has come to you l through the courtesy of ... . moth balls for musty raiment .... four out of five have it ... . nothing's too good for my baby .... only God can make a tree .... by electrical transcription made for broadcasting purposes only .... good-night, sweet-heart .... do your shoes mean anything to you, or are thev U> aMi'lr Uu itutt info wvny until morning. 1 tell you you were good.” “Thanks, Harvey, but that’s only what you think.” “Don’t I usually think right, Bobbie?” Yet when she was in bed she worried less about the result of her essay in the theater than of Esther’s lithe stalking of Gray. Could she, if the emergency arose, save him from imprisonment within hard walls of egoism and in sincerity? Dreamily pretty, secretive Minnie Barton slipped into her mind. Gray had liked her after his fashion; she must have had some influence over him. Abruptly she sat up in bed, clasping her knees with straining hands. Her thoughts were leading her where she didn’t want to follow. She must quite herself; she must get some sleep; but she lay I awake, worrying about Gray more than herself until a bland dawn painted her wall with a warning that the hour of judgment was upon her. The maid came in with her coffee and the morning papers I which she had ordered the evening before. She wouldn't let the maid talk. She hurried her from the room. The coffee tasted bitter. She stared at I the papers, afraid to open them, because she coveted a success that might give her a little power over Gray, even from a distance, against Esther Helder. She opened a paper at the theatrical page. She felt as if she had plunged in icy fluid that wouldn’t let her breathe; and the cold blurred her eyes as they tried to steady the type down the column. Darkly she glimpsed sarcasm for the play, ambiguous approbation for the acting of Rulon and his leading lady, then, to wards the end, her own name. She drew herself up out of the icy water , and cleared her eyes. “Miss Norcross is altogether a novice to our creaking boards. We are credibly in formed, in fact, that this youthful apprentice was drafted in a moment of des peration by Charles Rulon to stop the gap created by Miss Manson’s fondness for the amenities of Great Neck. To state that she closed every leak would be to follow too far up the slope of praise a genuine enthusiasm for her sincerity, her obviously unde veloped gift for mimicking, and her decidedly pronounced pulchritude. “Although as a prophet your reporter has suffered innu merable buffetings from out rageous fate, he timidly sug gests, in view of the necessary paucity of rehearsals, that Miss Norcross’s playing of this part should steadily increase in ease and illusion, and that the experience thus gained should make her well worth observing later on in more solid roles. He does put him self on record with one state ment that no fate, however outrageous, can slap him in the face for. It is worth cross ing several thoroughfares at the height of traffic to scan Miss Norcross’s lines, coloring, and unstudied grace. Those purely individual qualities, he ventures, are far more likely to draw the populace to Mr. Hackey’s playhouse than the dim lines, the lack of coloring, and the wholly studied grace of his mildly mediocre enter tainment.” She read it over and over, conscious of the beating of her heart. With shaking hands ! she turned to the reviews in the other papers. They all criticied her technical short comings, but in varying de grees they compensated for it by drawing attention to her natural gifts, and the promise they held for her future in the theater. Undoubtedly the new comer had been a good deal ! discussed by the critics be tween the acts; but what de lighted her most was the fact that not one writer had laughed at her. Then Gray each morning .... I say, remember your Northern Spy apple . . . . ladies, here is news for you .... we have a fresh stock of these double seamed, teinforced. extra length, double seated overalls in today and they are going like hot cakes folks at only .... good-night, sweet j heart .... think of the kiddies!

In her relief she tried to tell herself that Esther, for all her sly cleverness, would never surround Gray with her hard walls. Now perhaps she could sleep, but all at once she was made to realize she had become a figure of some importance to a number of people. Other in habitants of the house poured gushingly in and out of her room, and the telephone com menced to summon her. All morning it continued. The maid would knock, thrust her grinning face in the room, and j shout: “Telephone, Miss Norcross!” And Barbara would go to the hall, and still a trifle dazed, receive praise and con gratulation. Rulon was the first. “Didn’t I tell you so, dear?” Of course he hadn’t told her so, but she said that he had. He insisted on her lunching iwth him, and said he would call a little after noon. She didn’t want to go, but she felt that she had to, because she owed to him so much of the little success she had had. Harvey called up, accepted the critics’ verdict as a matter of course, and warned her not to take any steps without careful thought, without, if she didn’t mind, consulting him. “Hackey may want you to put your name to something.” “I’ll be careful, Harvey. I’ll talk everything over with you.” Steve was almost enthusias tic about her future In the theater. Obviously he wel comed any occupation that might force Gray and Esther from her mind.
