"And now take ane home, please, Peter, It's getting dreadfully late, Almost everybody's gone," They left the crupper -club and found Peter Kane's car in a quiet street outside, He slumped down in front of the wheel, and drove furloustY through sleeping London.

Reporta covering the thousands of square miles of. wilderness acoesslble by Canladlan Pacific Itailway show a plerititude of game and excellent conditions for hunting. Outfitters and guides nomas t110 oottntry also report more reservations for hunting parties, both from Canada and the United Status, 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 bas xdo0ae, deer and black bear; New Bruns- wick, dear and black bear; Que- bec, moose, caribou, deer and black hear; Ontario, moose, deer and black boar; Manitoba and Sas, llatchewan, moose, deer and cari- bou; Alberta and British Colum- bia, mountain sheep and goats, Ger:leu ,� k/:vi caribou, moose, elk (wapiti), deer, and grizzly, brown and black bear; 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 tourist offices in Windeor Station, Montreal, far Copies of the two hunting booklets, "Open Seasons for Hunting" and "Fishing Wa- ters and Game Monte," it out ,to Gloria as she drove her from the station in a little two- seater, "That's the river where I got so much practice in swimming, When we were children my sister and I used to live in the water practica'1;. The currents are strong further down, but I learnt to master them. The river is very gentle here. though, It flows past our garden. We must go out on it one evening when the Hunter's Moon is full. 11'a warm enough even 1101V." October was giving them an un- expected heat -wave, and the girls strolled .in the garden after supper. ale din their flimsy dresses wine light wraps thrown over, "Funny," said Primrose, laughing. "Last night I was watching you, Gloria, at the Grant! Cinema in the High Street, Nearly all Halston had turned up. because Gloria Burke is a great favourite down here, As we were coming out I told one or two people you were carving to stay with me, Of course, nobody be- lieved me." Gloria joined in her laughter. "I wonder if they would recognize me if I walked along the High Street io- morl•ow morning." "The greatest fun is to come," said Primrose, "You don't mind, do you, I am giving a party on Fri- day, and Inviting a crowd of friends, and—and—I am putting on the cor- ner of She invitations—To meet Gloria Burke," Gloria shrugged her sboulders, "No, I don't mind." She guessed that parties were more of a novelty to Primrose than to her, and made up her mind to pretend to enjoy this one, even if she were bored stiff with Primrose's country friends "1'm posting the invitations to- night," said Primrose gleefully. "I thought I must watt and mention it to you first, but Hannah shall take the coneigament along to the pont . now. Oh, I should like to be pres- ent at some of the breakfast -tables when those invitations are opened • tomorrow, It will be fun."
