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faL,“ Is out of date.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.

THE
FORBIDDEN YEARS
by
WADSWORTH CAMP
She dragged herself up the
iron stairs to her dressing
room. 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.

Hut it would come down again;
that was the nature of things.
< Steve struck at the stairs
with his cane.
| “I imagine she wants to see
you.”
“Yes.”
Harvey's voice was anxious.
. “You’ll go?”
“Yes, but I didn’t think she’d
want to see me after the way
I left.”
Steve spread his hands.
“It’s utter temerity to try
to think for Adelaide.”
; “Did she say anything,
Steve—about to-night, I
mean?”
' “She didn’t say anything
during the piece, but after
wards she borrowed my pencil,
wrote that, and said: ‘You
stay, Steve. 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

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

couldn’t very well have
laughed, and Esther had
failed. 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.
