THURSDAY, MARCH
SYNOPSIS'. . . .A luxurious five-
mouth cruise around the world
aboard the “Marenia” brings to
gether a group of passengers for
adventure, romantic, entertaining
. . , and tragic ... Like in
“Grand Hotel” these passengers
offer a study in human actions
and reactions which unconsciously
have their souls . , . These char
acters are aboard the ship: Mac
duff, dour Scotchman, single, of
middle age; Miss Mudge, school
teacher, spending the savings of
twenty years: Angela, faithful
wife of Lovat, gigolo; Dick Charl
ton, first officer; Clare, a person
of experience; Joan, a dissipated
flapper; jenny, run-away wife and
Peter; Captain Baring, master of
the ship . . . and his soul.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
her thoughts back to the present.
“I’m seeing myself as a small and
selfish, worm, in fact, I’m seeig my
self as I am."
Peter could detect the fright in her
voice. He laughed at her, “Morbid
again! I wish you wouldn’t analyse
yourself so much. You know, if you
keep it up, I shall regard you as a
little egotist. W-cmnen all are, or very
little egotist. Women all are, or they
wouldn’t they that twhat they do mat-
tres so much.”
He leaned over her absorbed face
and kissed it to a healthy glow. “Be
gay, my child, and forget about your
self,” he implored her,

hilarious spirits, excited by her sur
roundings.
She suddenly spied Macduff and
resognized him 'for soime one from
Marenia. That was enough for her.
In a moment she was standing in
front of him, twinkling owlishly
through her glasses.
“Just think, I’ve been losing all
my money,” she announced, as if
that were an everyday occurrence in
her life.
“Well, what of it?" said Macduff,
ungraciously.
“Oh, I beg your pardon.”
Miss Mudge stepped back and he
felt impelled to make grumy amends

Miss Mudge took out her
and proceeded to record her iimpres-.

The Marenia was easing out of the
harbour and the lights were flicker
ing like a forest of lighted candles.
The coast line was slowly engulfed
in the night, and the boat began to
toss in a Mediterranean storm. In a,
stateroom amidships on C. deck, i
Jenny and Peter Rumford were un-|
packing their things, jenny stopped i
every few minutes to look a little
tremuously at Peter, whose atten

“Well, we’re, off.” His voice had a
note of relief. “Perhaps you won’t
worry so much now, Jonny. Theres

Jenny moved to his side and slip

The ship was en fete. Chinese lan
terns swung on the after-deck, the
orchestra played an old Viennese
waltz and the sky was powdered
with1 yellow stars four evenings later
as the Marenia neared Stromboli.
The moon hung low in the sky, like
a golden guinea. It was an old story
to Dick, leaning against
smoking a cigarette and
with cynical interest.
His attention wandered

you, and took a swallow. There
wasn’t very much of it—such a little
glass. It surely couldn’t go to her
head. Suddenly she giggled and set
down her glass.
“What’s up?" Dick inquired.
“•Ob', I was just thinking o'f Ohon

“What’s Ohonto?”
“Ohonto, Wisconsin-

“It isn’t possible that you

“Nice place?”

swung her to her feet and they danc

clung to him more confidently now,
and he sumiled down at her as if she
were the only woman in the glitter

seat and made his adieux, covering
her embarrassment with his protec
tive air, Should she go sitting

Office,It was once an English maxim
that a young woman should never
be married until she had spun her
self a set of body, table and bed lin
en, Hence the naune “spinster."
Formerly the title “spinster” was
given to unmarried women of the
gentle classes, from a viscount’s
daughter down, and often retained
by them on their marriage, especial
ly when the husband was not of the
gentry. Nowadays, a spinster in the
popular mind, is unmarried wo
man, somewhat advanced in years.
However, we tmay be allowed to
say that all unmarried women in
Canada, twenty years old and over,
are spinsters. There are over 660,-
000 of them. There is one spinster
for every three or four married wo
men in the Dominion, or women who
have 'been married. Twenty-six
thousand of these married women
are under twenty, and twenty of
therm are under 15, most of these
twenty are Indians.
There are not so many spinsters
as bachelors so it might be agreed
that there is no dearth of husbands
and that cannot be the cause of their
spinsterhood. There are about one
million bachelors in Canada who
have passed their twentieth birth
day, so numerically there are plenty
of husbands available for all the
spinsters, and plenty to spare.

Census reports issued by the Domin

solicitous. She was suddenly ravag
