All her life she had lived alone with her mother in an old brown house in a small rur- al community. All her •life, first as a new baby, then a bubbling child, then a charming young girl . . she had posed for her talented mother who sold her magizine cover painting through an art agent in the city . Mrs. Church's broken life . . . the unfaithful husband, his disappearance and after seventeen years of sil- ence announcement of his death was at last disclosed to Ellen. The news of the husband's death killed Mrs. Church. . . Ellen, alone, turned to the only contact he knew, the art agent in New York. Posing, years of posing, was her only •talent so she was introduced to two leading ar- tists, Dick Alven and Sandy Macin- tosh. Both used her as a model and both fell in love with her . . but Ellen, trying to follow the warped •philosophy of her mother to "love lightly" resists the thought of love. • Her circle of friends is small, artists and two or three girl models.

'When they had met in the hallway, with every- day coats incongruously covering bizarre costumes, they had been al- most shy with each other -almost afraid to look each other in the eye, Climbing into a taxi, they settled back in separate coliers. But the young man's hand, groping Out across the clammy leather seat, found El. len's hand, clung to it, and filially drew her close. "I suppose you think I'm crazy," he said. "Quite crazy," Ellen told him, gently. "You :we," the boy's voice was carefully held in leash, "you see I'd been watching you all evening, as you danced with ali the fat old hin- nies in the world. Cold sober, you were -in the whole roomful the only one that was cold sober! Listening to their kidding, and kidding them back, but only with half of you on the job. With the other half as far awey as if you were in a garden." Ellen interrupted, and there wae sob in her voice. What incredible .chance had prompted hint to make that comparison? "Not that!" she said. "Not a gar- den . • ." "And I thought," the boy went on heedless of her interruption. -I've got to get her away from it all. Because NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY !she -because I feel that she belags me!" When she was opposite a wide There was so much emphasis in his door, Ellen gave up the idea she use of the two words, 'to me,- -Cant whether you're nice," he told Ellen tensely, "or not • nice.

And Ellen, looking down through the darkness at his head, bent above her hands - hearing, as through a dream, the whir of the car's motor - was feeling the same madness, too. Why, the boy was right, He was right! it was love. But, in the graying darkness, Ellen was going back to her mother.

The amount of sugar passed in the -urine varies from a mere trace to as much as a pound or two a day. Diabetes occurs at all ages. A num- ber of young children develop the disease, but the majority of cases oc- cur after forty. Diabetes is found chiefly among those who, after reach- ing middle life, overeat and, as a re- sult, become overweight. Diabetes is the penalty these individuals pay for their overindulgence in food. Diet was the only treatment avail- able before the discovery of insulin. Diet is just as important as it ever was, but, in many cases, diet alone is not a satisfactory treatment. In such cases, insulin allows the diabet- ic to cat and use sufficient starches and sugars to maintain health and strength. It is most important that the Dia- betic give careful attention to his gen- eral health. He should be scrupul- ously clean about his body. Any ab- normal condition, such as infected teeth or other focal infection, should receive proper treatment without de- lay. Exercise is essential as exercise helps to use up the sugars and star- • ches. Success in treatment rests 'with the patient. He requires regular medical supervisi'on to insturct and guide him• along the way, but his fate lies in his own hands. The diabetic who uses insulin and diet properly may hope - for years of health and happiness. To avoid diabetes, those of middle age or later years should keep their - weight at or a little below thea ver - age. This is another way of saying - that diabetes does not usually occur among those who maintain a normal weight by combining moderation ire eating with reasonable exercise.
