At least it wouldnt, cause so much talk. No one would be sure that we were engaged and tliat would please your parents." Jerry had put the top of his little car down and they were spinning past an endless whirligig of meadows and woods yielding to the blur of twilight She felt a bit sick that he would think of such a procedure. It was disenchanting to know that he could find pleasure elsewhere for an evening. Youre not saying anything. What do you think of it? urged Jerry. She spoke in a low tone.

She admits herself that although she undertook her reduction program under the direction of the doctor, she was not content with .the comparatively slow results and cut still further the low calorie diet which the physician gave her.
