It was with those wor2le ringing ]n her ears that Pauline woke an her wedding morning to find the sun- shine pouring in at her window. "Love doesn't last, ..." It seem- ed strange that the one thought in her tinct on this day of all days should be 'ef those words in Barbara Stark'a letter which had arrived late last nigl}t. Barbara was Pauline's best friend, for reasons that both of them would have found difficult to explain. The two girls were as unlike as it is pos- sible to be, for while Pauline was ,young, unspoiled, and full of the joy of life, with a• touching belief in happiness and the theory that love never dies, Barbara, at seven -and- twenty, shemed to have run through more experiences and emotions than many a woman double her age. She had been married, had had a baby. which mercifully. so peonle said, had died soon after birth; she had been divorced,' end at the moment was getting herself talked about every- where by her wild extravagance and because of a new and violent friend- ship with a married man. But in spite of an these thingr Pauline adored her. The chief trouble was that Dennis did not approve of Barbara, and many times during her engagement Pauline's heart had been torn be- cause of her leve for her friend and her love for the man she was to marry, and her desire to do as she wi bed. Many times she had tried to ex- plain to Dennis bey friendship for Barbara. and had always been con, scious of failure. "I know people dcn't like her," she defended Barbara loyally, "but that's only because they don't know her and understand her as I do: "Her own fault." Dennis broke in gruffly, but this Pauline would not allow. Pauline never really knew whether Barbara liked Dennis or disliked 'him: She was always charming to him when he would allow her to be, and yet last night, in the letter that ac- companied a meet beautiful gift. she had said things about marriage which had so impressed Pauline that she woke on her wedding ton -nine. with some of the words ringing in her ears. . . Don't expoet too much from your husband as 1 olid! Any woinar of experience will tell you that love doesn't last. Romance will wear. thin. It's traditional that men get tired of the same woman. When you've 'been married a few year' you'll be lucky if you're still good friends. Don't think I am saying these thintrs to hurt vou. I'm saving. them. because I wait ,•eu to be ban - "v. and nen rah only be hnnnv after You're married by not expecting too much. Let him be nuite free/too— don't try to chain him to 7011 all the time--thet's n sure way to kill love. "Lrve doesn't last . . These were the words that haunt. rel her as she sat on in bed her fair hair ri,ninled childishly, her blot eyes blinking in the sunshine. The nrespnt Barbara hed .sent her blue standing on n small table by itself. It was a small carved statuette ii' ivory and silver, of a small Cupid lteetine• his hand in vain against e berred door. and underneath was the one word "Denied." It seemed n funny sort of wedding present to send anyone. Pauline thovght, even while she realized its beauty. When she had shown it to Dennis he hnd laughed. "She's a miserable cynic," he said!. "We'll put it in the spare room. so that shell be able to look at it ae much as she likes when she comes to stay -11 suppose she will come—" "Of course she will," Pauline an- swered Ouiek]y, but she had not told him stout Barbara's letter; she had burned it. "Love doesn't last... 04 course, that had been Barbara'. own exlperiencat Pauline was not clear as to the facts of hee friend', marriage—she had never asked ehon it and Barbara never spoke of her husband. That he had made good Prevision for her was common knowledge, that he was somewhere abroad was a vagLely accented fart. and that the divorce had actually been nobody's fault but one of thole "arranced" affairs was agreed by the charitable. Pauline thought it was all very. pathetic. .Sometime" the far -away lonely look in Barbara's eyes made her heart ache, and yet Barbara always seemed happy a-. nough, She laughed a great deal elle went everywhere, she dressed beautifully, and yet the strange (man ity of mother love in Pauline'; •affec tion for her told Pauline that in reality she was not a happy woman. • "No heart!" .So. Dennis summed her up. "Selfish as the devil. I knew the type well," ' • Sometimes Pauline was tempted to think he was right, Dear Dennis, who was so good to everyone. Den- nis had faldeifin love with Pauline at first sight, so he said, and she—well, there had never been another man in the world for her., "Much better for yon if there had been," -so Bkrbara declared. "First love generally - comes a cropper for want of experience." Pauline had laughed at the time, but now the wards returned to her with a little sting, She dismissed them determinedly—what did it mat- ter what one emlbittered outlook-pro- pheeied? She knew she would be • perfetetly happy. Dennis was quite well off, and he had prospects. He wasthirty-two and he had a motor car in which they were going away for a honey- moon trip; he had bought a house — quite a small one, but a "darling," so Pauline told everyone, and she had been quite sure that they would live haenily ever after, until Bar - bare'; letter came last night. Not that she was really seriously influenced by it — all Barbara's i, dens about: Iife were totally differ) ent from her own—but it was the first small shadow cast over the sun- shine of her happiness. It was her wedding day! In the next room a white frock and veil lay en the bed, downstairs all the wed- ding presents were set out on long tables. She took up Dennis O'Hara's pho- tograph and kissed it. In a few hours now she mould he his wife — she would be Mrs, O'Hara. Dennie said he was not Irish, in suite of the l name. Only yesterday she had al- most covered a sheet of notepaper with his name and her own joined to- gether—Pauline o- gether Pauline O'Hara. There was a tan at the door, and her mother came in, "I've brought your tea myself this morning, darling. It's a lovely day —so warm and sunny. Did you sleep well?" . "Beautifully," But .amine's heart gave a Tittle throb of pain as she re- membered it was the last time she would sleep here quite as herself. "I hope the sun will shine for you all your life," hoc mother said as she kissed her. "There is an old mistime "Keep your face to the sunshine ane` the shadaw,s will fall behind you.' Now drink your tea and get dressed." Then, tieing a sensible mother. she went quickly away, before Pauline snry the tears in her i'yei. Pauline drank her tea, bathed. and dressed, There were a lot of people staving in the house—cousins, aunts. end a bachelor uncle, and two chil- dren who were to be bridesmaids— the morning seemed to fly till sucl- 'tenly Pauline's mnthee said. "It's time vou dressed, darling. Pauline was Conscious of a little shock, and for a moment a wild sone of panic took possessirn of bre. It was as if someone hod said• "This is the beginning of the end, After to-daylifewilldiffer- eonbe Ou'me dt ffr - eon Ynu will never really belong to yourself any more or be free to do as you like." With sn effort she pulled herself together. What nonsense! When she was ti marrying 1r a man she loved with her whole heart arid was genies to c hanttiness far greater than any she hod ever known. She humored a snatch of a song• as she ran upstairs to her room, She WOR at the door, when someone came up the stairs behind her two at a time and Peter Johnston—a very favour- ite eou;inwho would have tilted to he something nearer and dearer— called her name. "Pauline!" "Hullo Peterkin." He joined her rather breathlessly. "This has just come. I thought you'd like to open it." He gave her a small parcel. "Thank you." Panlise was tun- ing away when he caught her hand. "1 just want to wish you the best of 1i cic--always--sand haplpiness — heaps of it." She tried gently to release her hand, but he held ie fast. "I'll always be the same. Pauline— always, there if you want ere.- In ever there should• be any trouble, " Again Pauline was conscious of that little shadowy premonitier.. what trouble could there :he? Why did everyone insist that' her sunshine 'weo boiled to by clouded? She laughed in nervous exaspera- tion. eI awnless yen are Ong of three ueople who relieve that ]ave never lash she said defiantly. "My love for you will last," Pete:• answered, and then before she eonld 'ton him lie had taken her by the shoulders and kissed. her on' the line. "All the het." he said, not ver' steadily, and before she could 'movej he had ,gone, and she heard him- . clattering• away down the stairs a- gain. Pauline went into her room and shut the door. She felt ' a little shaken and almost as if she wanted to cry. She and Peterkin had been brought up together, but never 'bey fore had he kissed her like that or looked at her with such an expression in his eyes. Pauline was fond of Peterkin, but something in her heart ; resented 'that sudden display of af- fection. Her lips belonged to Deni nis—ino other man had a right to them. She tried to' feel angry with him, but it was a short-lived anger, Poor. Peterkin! It was not such a 'happy day for him as it was going to I be for. her. She pulled off the fas- 1 tening of the little parcel he had brought 'her. It was from Barbara Stark --a slender blue garter fasten- ed with a tiny arrow. I "Just for luck" --iso a little writ- ten message read•—F"andin ease no- body has remembered to give you the `something .blue' which is suppos t ed to insure happiness." I Pauline let the little gift fall to the floor. She did not want to take her luck from Barbara for a mo- ment she felt as if the bad fairy of the old nursery story had arrived and cast a spell over her. Then she "aliantly pulled herself together. Such nonsense! Barbara was her best friend, and it was charming of, her to remember the old supersti- tion—of course, she amulet wear it, Then the bridesmaids came clam - I curing at the door, and there wee the all-important function of fixing the veil, and an excitement because the bouquets had not arrived. She was getting a little nervous and overdone. end her mothe • nreree- ]y cleared everyone out of the renen and, shutting the door, took Pauline in her arms. "I wish you all the happiness 1)1 the world," she said, and now she could not hide the tear; in her eyes. "Dennis is 'a good boy, and he loves you, but if ever you are in trouble, don't forget that you have a mother, Pauline," Pauline gently disengaged herself from her mother's arms. "Do you think love lasts?" she asked in a tense little voice. There was a short' silence, then her mother. laughed. "It all depends on what you mean by love." Pauline's mother, stooped to pick up a fallen flower, perhaps because for a mom- ent she was net quite sure: of the expression in her eyes. "Love chane ges, of course, but nearly always for the better. You can't keep up the excitement .of being engaged. 'W'hen you're living together its differ- ent." "You mean—they • get used to you?" Pauline said: "You mean, there isn't thesame sort of longing to be with you -is that what you mean " she asked. "My dear little girl--" . Pauline broke in ruthlessly, "Did you lave Daddy very much when you married him?" "Very much indeed." "And were you dissappointed of terward ?" "Things are always different from what one expects. "And do you lave him still?" Pauline's mother looked away. "Yes but it's different," she said, and then, as if regretting the ad- mission, she hastened to add, "But no two marriage; the alike. We must. all shape our own destinies. You win find out for • yourself." There was a little silenee. then Pauline rtrew a hard breath like a sigh, and fee a moment her pretty face looked sad. "I wonder why," she said slowly. (Continued next week.) NO RUBBISH A policeman caught her in the act of tearing a letter into tiny bits, which she threw to the ground in the rark. and the following conversation toay place: Policeman—" You ought to know better, mise, then to throw rubbish amend in the park." She—i"What impudence! ThaIt''s not trash; that's a love letter from my very best boy friend." THURS.? DEC. 15, 1932 K1xGTHEEVS so of u The new Bishop of Hong Kong an- nounces that he is not going to wear gaiters and an apron, and may even discard the clerical rcEar.

It is not done by privy councillors, judges, Kings' •Counsel, or doctors, and many clergymen are breaking away from the habit. c11 We can appreciate the difficulty the United States has in dealing with foreign debts but that difficulty is due to two of its awn policies coming into conflict. Sooner or later, the policy of lending money abroad was bound to clash with the policy of pro- hibitive tariffs. The reason it did not came earlier isthat the United States tried to ease the situation by. lending more money to enable debtor countries to meet payments of inter- est and principal instalments. What it lost on the peanuts it did not make up on the banana. ba Political consideration on this in-• terregnum between two adpoinistra, tions account for the attitude toward those debts. There are many Demo- enats like Alfred E. Smith and many Republicans like Dr. M,nrray Butler, who approve of wiping the debts problem off the slate, but they are not in command, and, no matter what the private views of Hoover and Roosevelt, they do not command, either. Roosevelt says it is not his baby. Hoover might very well re- tort that it very soon will be. The outgoing administration does not wish to prejudice the Republican party by any unpopular move and the incoming administration would rejoice if the question is settled be- fore March next. orb Both fear the reaction in the central and western States, if the debts are forgiven or even reduced, but both know it will have to be done If Britaiit should have to 'carry out J the program hinted at in her latest note of imposing special tariffs against: United States imports it is the farmer of the middle States wile will suffer most, and . yet that is where moat of the opposition to an. accommodation exists, atm We must confess to a sneaking ad- miration for any man who. is clever enough to take two thousand dol- lars from Harry Lauder.

But Messrs. Woodsworth and Heaps. Miss Macphail and others interested' in this movement are not products of present conditions. They sprang into being when times were good, when labor wages were at their peak and farmers were getting $2.50 for wheat, with similar prices for their other products.
