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- du-flf, 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 NOW GO ON dashes dierct fom her lover on his way to (Singapore. On my way to Singapore. ■Writing at once to explain everything and arrange finan­ cial matters. Peter. Jenny looked in the flowered bag that had gone w’ith hei* to the wats of Bangkok. Opening her purse, she found that she had £5 10s in the world. Pattering down the adjoining al­ ley, the steward, too old for any duty at sea but that of night watch­ man, arrived at Jenny’s stateroom ’which was next to Macduff’s. He saw a ribbon of light under her door and assumed that she was still awake. He knocked, and a faint voice answered. “Come in.” "Sorry to disturb you, madam. I have orders to close the deadlight. Captain’s orders, madam.” “Leave it as it is now, steward,” she said. “I shall ring for you later. My head is splitting and I must have air.” Harry stood at the door, wonder­ ing what he should do. ‘It’s captain’s orders, madam,” 'he repeated. “It’s a bad night and the water' will come in.” Jenny’s voice was imperative: “Leave it to me. I shall ring in a “I’ve been wondering about you this morning, Jenny. I came back to your door last night, but your state­ room was quiet and the lights were on. I thought everything must be all right,” said Angela. “Perhaps, it is,” said Jenny blankly. , “I (djon’t know, gone.” “Jenny darling, do sit down drink some tea with me. IL., had your breakfast yet?” Angela rang the bell, for her stewardess. “Breakfast?” repeated Jenny aim­ lessly. “Yes, breakfast. You hausted. Did you sleep at “All night, like a log. must have fainted when I ter wasn’t there.' I scarcely remem­ ber the night at all. Wouldn’t it be funny, Angela, if I never saw Peter again ” “Don’t talk rot. You’re shivering Throw that dressing-gown over your shoulders.” “Jenny darling,” said Angela, plunging swiftly to the point. “I have some had news for you.” Jenny retracted her head, wary the coming of a blow. four husband’s left the boat with Langford.” eter—oh no!” Jenny’s voice 1 cry of pain. “Angela, there my doubt in your mind.” Charlton thinks they caught a boat*.to Singapore, yesterday.” “While we were watching the foolish dancers! But his things—how <lid he get them off?” “He came back and packed and he and Mrs. Langford got a ste­ ward to take their bags.” Jenny was staring at the floor ’“You know i'm not his wife.” Angela adeepXed her announce- i raent •'ri\ith no change of expression. faV?c, I left my husband and JUfrur-months-old baby to run away f with Peter.” “Your baby? Oh, Jenny darling!” Angela’s voice halted in mid­ stream. S-o this was t!he story, looked pityingly at the girl on "bed. “You 'must have loved Very much.” “I did. I do. But, you see, must pay for a thing like that.” “How long have you been with him, altogether ” • “About ten weeks. Suc'h a little .time. ^years. ever, it? I’m repeating history. My mother did .exactly the same thing when I was a little girl.” ' “But didn’t yOu feel that anything Was wrong, Jenhy?” “I saw -him go into her stateroom, the other* day, but I closed my eyes to reality. I icouldni’t believe it. There was no change in his manner.’ She lapsed into' silence again. An­ gela could see her fingers twisting and untwisting, and the flow of thoughts over her face. “Angela, I want to be left to my­ self,” said Jenny, suddenly. “Of/course, my child, but I shall cOTpe-'back, and if there is anything —4!L:an do—” she bent down and kiss- ^sd her forehead. “You’re very kind. There’s noth­ ing that anyone can do.” Angela went upstairs, to find that the boat was seething with gossip. She decided to go down to Jenny’s suite again and see if she were as­ leep. So. she- was lying exactly as She had left her. when the door opened she threw an eager glance toward it, but her face clouded as soon as she saw that it was only Angela. “Jenny, are you all right?” “Yes.” She spoke in the faded voice of the very ill. “Have you slept?” Smiling feebly, she shook head. “A storm is coming up, a China sea storm. I hope you get seasick.” “Never.” “It should lull us all to sleep fo- night.” “Yes?” Jenny’s glance ly questioning. * '“Won’t you have some me Let’s have it here, n’t had luncheon,” “If you don’t mind, Angela. I want just to be let alone: I’m rather tired. I think I shall sleep.” ’"‘You’ll send for me if there is anything I calx do, won’t you?" “.Rather!” She smiled piteously at Angela—a lost face, drowning in its own bewilderment. The last traces of Peter’s occu­ pancy—a few odds and ends of pa- per—had disappeared, A white and F.ue envelope lay ion the table. It was a message for him.

The old man went grunting off. and He had plenty of others to attend Have you: to, and he supposed the lady knew what she was about. Senseless of (her though. He shuffled down the next alley; no doubt she would ring. Soon he had forgotten her existence. The storm was now at its peak. Jenny could see the green-black mountains racing past with squirm­ ing fcam-crests. In her ears were thundering cries of anguish—the re­ quiem of the sea. She dashed across the cabin and slapped her hands in aimless frenzy against the panels. “He couldn’t, he couldn’t, he could­ n’t!” she screamed, but her voice was a whisper in the mad crescendo of the gale. She covered her eyes with her arm. S’he must be going mad. But the water would wash the fevei* from her brain, would lap her in peace and security. right, itself, but I’ve fallen in love, and not a passing fancy this time. I shall furnish evidence when you return, if you feel you want to di­ vorce me, Angela, and, of course, I shall make it all as easy as possible. I want you to believe that our love, while it lasted, was something sep arate, apart and wonderful; that have never known a woman I ad mired as much as you. But I’m afraid I should continue to hurt you, and things would only get worse, as you must realize. I could not bear your reproachful eyes at Cairo, although you said so little. Wouldn’t it be better* if we went our separate ways I have left your home and am living at the club. Jock is with me, >but I shall return him as soon as you get back. Forgive me, Angela, and I hope we shall always be the best of friends. Yours, Lovat. P. IS.—Would you please get me a very fine jade bracelet in China The Kitten wants one. The letter* dropped from Angela’ hand and she stared after it as i fell. She had feared it all along. Of course, she would let him have his divorce , though it would be beastly—all of it! The tears went sliding down Angela’s cheeks. She had not thought that he would slip completely out of her life as soon as she turned her back. There would be no use opposing him now, and why try to hold him when he had already passed from her life? She took out her writing things and sat down to reply to his letter. Darling (Lovat: I waited and waited for a letter, and then when I got to Peking I learned that there wasn’t anything more to look forward to. Of course, you shall have your divorce. I should not dream of standing in your way. Make any arrangements you like and as soon as I get back I shall talk things over with you. I hope you are sure you love this girl, Lovat I’m going out to look for the brace­ let tonight. It will be my wedding gift to your new bride, and I hope you will both be happy.

James A, Paterson, Clerk MEDICINALS Like most other things, the apoth­ ecary’s shop> -has been changing with the changing years and the drug­ store of today has very little resemb­ lance to the shop whose windows were resplendent with great glass containers filled with coloured wa­ ter, vivid red and green predominat­ ing. We knew from afar when we were approaching the chemist’s place of business. In the present day the appearance of the drug store is very much like a little palace of varieties. In place of the shelves of labelled bottles filled with all softs of medicinal liq­ uids, the most prominent ar­ ticles are candies, tobaccos and mag­ azine literature. Indeed we can dine at many drug stores ail'd get an ice, cream at most of them. If some of our .forbears could visit us they would tell us that in their day the barber’s shop was where we get the healing stuff. However, medicinals and pharma­ ceuticals are sold nowadays as never before, and the factory value -of these liquids and substances that are devised to relieve pain and con­ quer disease is no less a sum than $16,000,000. Considerably over $14,- 00 0,000 of this is made in Canada. We 'import over $2,800,000 worth and export over three-quarters of a million, according to' the 19 3 4 reck­ oning. These facts -are taken from a re­ port issued recently by the Mining, Metallurgical and Chemical Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.

Until the year 1911 A.D. a Lunar Calendar was in force in China, but with the establishment of the Republic the Government adopted the Gregorian Calendar, and the new and old systems were used simultaneously by the people for several years. (Since 193 0 the pub­ lication and use of the old Calendar* have been banned by the Govern­ ment, and an official Chinese calen­ dar, -corresponding with the Europ­ ean or Western .system, is the vogue. It is belived, however, that the old Lunar calndar is still in use to some extent. The Chinese are the most numer­ ous of the -races of Asiatic origin now residents of Canada. Indeed more than half of the latter are Chinese. There are over 43,000 males and about 3,500 females. Of these,. 1,900 are boys and 1,800 are girls under the age of 15. More than half, -or over 27,000 of the Chinese reside in British Colum-’ bia, of whom 24,900 are -males and 2,240 females. Most of the Chinese children are in British Columbia, 1,160 boys and >1,130 girls. There are about 6,400 Chinese cooks and about the same number engaged in laundry work, 3,600 cafe and tavern keepers, 125 hairdress­ ers, 15 musicians, 14 clergymen, 8 journalists, 7 actors and 4 police, as well as many in other varied occu­ pations and profession. Those figures are taken from Cen­ sus reports issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Forty-five hihgways won’t help pleasure cars.
