I] eclaring she had no regrets

She caught her breath sharply.
"Don't Boris, dear. I am coni

The next day she managed to per-

days later an eminent specialist
came and examined him.

and she saw that his face was
grave.
"I am afraid there is little I can

siderable time. You are the only
one who can do anything for hint

trees and hedges around Cynthia's
old home were clothed in the deli-
cate green of bursting buds, The
air was like wine, and the sky an in.

with gold.
As Ruth stood in the little church-
yard, beside the smooth green
mound where all that was earthly
of her father lay, ber heart was
filled with the glad message of the
Resurrection.
Never, as she loked `haat he",
at the crocuses peeping through a
layer of dead leaves -at the whole
earth, reborn in the perennial
miracle of spring -never had she
felt more certain that life goes Cu,
and that, in the hereafter, all life's
problems are solved.
She turned away at last, and went
through the little wicket -gate on to
the •path that led to the grounds of
the 3lanar House -for coming
along, she had seen a board an-
nouncing that it was for sale, and
she thought that there would be :to
one to object if she returned, just
for a few minutes, to the spot hal-
lowed by so marry memories.

Plan Splendid Hunting Season
Prospects for big -game hunting
are unusually bright in Can-
ada this fall. Reports covering the
thousands of square miles of
wilderness accessible by Canadian
Pacific Railway show a plentltude
of game and excellent conditions
for hunting. Outfitters and guides
across the country also report
more reservations for hunting
parties, both from Canada, and
the United States, than they have
had for years,
Wild sections of Canada lying
practically in the back yard of
civilization have a wide variety of
big game in addition to many
types of game birds and smaller
animals. Nova Scotia has moose,
deer and black bear; New Bruns-
wick, deer and black hear; Que-
bee, moose, caribou, deer and black
bear; Ontario, moose, deer and
black bear; Manitoba and Sas-
katchewan, moose, deer and earl -
bon; Alberta and British Colem-
bia, mduntain sheep and goate,
caribou, moose, elk (wapiti), deer,
and grizzly, brown and blank
hoar; and. the Yukon Territory
and Alaska, practically the same
as British Columbia,
An indication of the increased
interest in hunting this year has
been given by the number of ap-
plications coming to the general
Outlet offices in Windsor Station,
Montreal, for copies of thetwo
hunting booklets, "Open Seasons
for Hunting" and "Plshing Wa-
ters and Game haunts."

in both their hearts,

Some Foot Rules
For The Housewives
These rules for foot comfort are
given by Ruth Murrill, beauty
editor of Good Housekeeping Maga-
zine: "
1 -Wear shoes tbat fit well and
give your toes plenty of room.
Don't wear shoes with extremcl;'
pointed toes or extremely ;ig'.t
heels.
2 -Be sure your stockings are
slightly longer than your feet when
you are standing. Many women
who 'buy well -fitted shoes ruin their
feet with short footed stockings.
3 -Keep your shoes in good re-
pair -never walk on run-down heels.
4 -Change your shoes at least
twice a day if you can, and slip
shoe forms into them when they
are not being uorn.
5 -Learn to carry yourself proper-
ly, Bad posture is the chief cause
are not +being worn.
TTSNAPSI-10T CUILP�
HOME -TOWN STREET SCENES tta
It won't be long
now before opportunities to snap pictures like this
will be gone.
How many of you have as a fami-
ly possession photographs of
scenes about town in the days of
horse cars, watering troughs and
hitching posts? Not many probably,
because those were the days when
amateur photographers were few
and far between.
Such photographs were usually
the work of the professional and
those that remain today are mostly
in museums and newspaper offices.
Most of you without doubt have seen
the published reproductions of them
and exclaimed in comparing those
old'time scenes with the appearance
of the city today. The horse cars
have been replaced by trolley cars
and autobusees. A horse and buggy
in the street is a curiosity. There
are new and loftier buildings, new
names on the store signs, more traf-
fic on street and sidewalk -the same
thoroughfares, but quite different in
appearance.
These thoughts suggest that the
amateur photographer of today, so
well equipped as he is to take pic-
tures, will find lasting pleasure in
making a photographic record of tiro
changing appearance of the com-
munity in which he lives. Pictures
that are taken now of street stones
and important buildings will become
higtorie treasures in the homes of
those who are now children, Some
of the buildings will then be gone,
changes in fashion will give a curi-
ous appearance to people photo-
graphed in present-day attire, and
there will be many unforeseen al.
tc'rations that, years hence, will
make pictures of the present scone
Intensely interesting.
But whether or not you are In-
spired to take such pictures for
theft' historical interest, you will
find that photographing street
scenes and "life and action" incl
dents about the city is nett of the
treat interesting phases of outdoor
picture -taking. To be successful with
these pictures, bear in mind that
you will have to work quickly and
quietly, attracting as little attention
as possible where people are to be
inelutled and you must be able to
take in an interesting situation at a
glance.
The ability to level your camera
quickly and accurately is particular-
ly important, as in most cases the
architecture of surrounding build-
ings will show, and, if the camera le
not level, the lines will be anything
but pleasing.
The viewel)oint of the camera Is
also important. Many pictures of
street acmes show that its position
was too low. Often a good shot of a
busy street can be made from the
steps of some public building. Inter-
esting and odd views are obtained
from windows of high buildings,
pointing no camera down.
WI:en taking streets from, the
curb, hold the camera as high as yeti
can. Cameras with eyo-level finders
are especially convenient for this
kind of work. Don't take pictures
when a fast-moving vehicle is very
neer unless your camera is equipped
wait a very fast shutter and you
wank a picture of the vehicle as the
principal subject.
There is hardly a pity which does
not attord camera owners subjects
possessing interesting features from
the structural and historical points
of view. In most aechiteetura1 work
full detail is essential, in which case
the lens should bo stopped down
