ISYS (c� DOoeLEDAY poRAu co eiefeitimanmem SYNOPSIS Pauline, sentimental, trustful; sin- cere and loving love,. becomes en- gaged and marries Dennis O'Hare in the belidf that their blissful happi- ness will continue unchanged through the years. On her wedding morning she awakens with a strange premon- ition that maybe love does change, a thought buried in her. mind by a letter from her closest friend, Bar- bara, the night before. Pauline a- dored Barbara who had been mar- ried, was the mother of a child which died, but now divorced and living a life which some of her friends could not understand. Be- tween Dennis and Barbara is a seeming wall of personal dislike by both. Six months after Pauline's wedding, Barbara comes for a short stay. During this visit Barbara con- fesses to Pauline that there is a man she really loves, but she refuses to tell his name. Barbara decides sud- denly to go home and Pauline insists Dennis •drive her to the station. Ir- ritated, Dennis drives recklessly, and they are in a crash. Barbara escapes injury but Dennis' leg is broken. As he returns to concsiousness he learns whe the man is that Barbara loves, It's himself. Dennis spends several Weeks in the hospital. Barbara re- turns to stay wird, Pauline, but on one pretext or another fail; to visit Dennis with Pauline at the hospital. Pauline plans highly for Dennis' re- turn home. Barbara stays only one day after Dennis' return from the hospital. Much against his will Dennis finds a new attraction in Barbara, who plays the same tool and . detached role as formerly. A fortnight• after Barbara's return to New York. she receives a letter from Pauline that she and Dennis are coming to New York for a little va- cation. Upon their arrival a round of gay entertainment gets under way -- throwing Dennis and Barbara much into each other's company. Dennis is in love with Barbara. He breaks through all barriers and tells her of his love, Pauline is cal- led home by the illness 'of her moth- er. Dennis stays on. Barbara is happy. Both fight against love — but it's over -Dowering. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Dennis was silent for a moment then he said, the blood deepening in his face. "I want t say that if it would not hurt Pauline ter- ribly, I hope she would—let me go." "And you have been married only a few months," said Barbara. "It doesn't take es long as a few months. to discover a mistake." "I think life is horrible," she sal fiereely. "It's horrible beeaause we knee eve mustn't do the thing we want t do," Dennis agreed hoarsely. "Be cause there is a ss -called code a "Not good enough for me." The conteire had fetched a taxi • and Dennis ,and Barbara drove away together. . I've never seen your hone," Demob said suddenly. "I've often tried to pietsire where you live." "It's very unromantic." It wouldn't be to me. Let me came to your home, Barbara, just once." "You won't be the' first, Dennis. leery Barnet often comes." "It makes no difference," "Very well, your blood be 'on your own head." But her heart beat with a happi- nese that was yet half pain. 'Ii would be something to know he had once been in the rooms where she had dreamed of him so often: some- thing to remember when all this foolishness was at an end. "You'll hate it," she told him as they went up in the lift to her flat. "It'; like me as you thought I was when you first knew ma." She open- ed the doer with her key.

She's one of the best—sweetest—" There was a long silence: then Barbara said suddenly: "When we say good-bye after this lunch, Dennis, it is to be good-bye." His face flushed . and his lips sneered. "For Pauline's sake, or for mine, or for your own?" he said. Sudden tears started to her eyes. "The world is upside down," she said tremulously.

CAN YOU TELL US? The Shelburne Economist reprints a joke it published in 1905: "The edi- tor of a paper within seventeen miles of Shelburne is reported to have re- ceived a plump chicken a few days ago, which he supposed came from an appreciative subscriber. Next day the chicken was gratefully de- voured, and that evening . a Ietter reached the editor which said: "I have sent you a chicken to settle a dispute. Can you tell us what the chicken died of?"

Miller said he had been notified a small legacy had been left him in Den- mark. Water in Place of Meals Helps Stomach Stomach trouble is often helped by skipping' •rue meal. Drink lots of water.

They do not hesitate to send their good money away for many things they need, and which could just as satisfactorily and much more promptly be supplied by their home merchants and dealers. No business, no matter of what nature, can long exist on this sorb of patronage. Nor is it fair to expect that it should. The public expect to re- ceive services as and when they demand it; but many do not do their part in making this possible. There are manufacturing industries with fairly complete equip- ment which, because ,cf such lack of consideration, are idle much of the time. It must be patent to all that 'a busy plant can operate much more cheaply than one which is working• only on part time. Therefore it should be the ''pcliey of all to place their business of whatever kind it may be with the local plant or factory to the end that it may be kept reasonably busy and thus be in a position to give its best service.
