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 Dersonal 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 who the man is that Barbara loves. It's himself. Dennis spends several weeks in the hospital. Barbara re- turns to stay with Pauline, but on one pretext or another fail; to visit Dennis with Pauline at the hospital. Pauline plans highly far Dennis' re- turn home. Barbara stays only nee day after Dennis' return from the hospital. Much against his will Dennis finds a new attraction in Barbara, who plays the same cool 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 — out it's over powering. Dennis de- clares his love and Barbara admits she loves him. Jerry, married -man friend cf Barbara's, finds Dennis at Barbara's flat—and goes into a jeal- cue rage. She orders him out of her life forever. Barbara is surprised by a call from her former husband who wants her t : return to him.

Her pulses were racing, and she put a hand on. the mantlechelf to steady herself: and it was at that moment she saw the letter addressed to herself Paul- ne's writing. She took the letter and hid it in the folds of her gown; then she turned. "Oomb' here, Dennis," He came at once and took her in late. He would come back, and just his arms. He could not speak, and for once, if never again, she wouie his lips burned as they touched hers, know the perfect happiness of his After a .long time he whispered: "Do love, and then , . . you want me—,as I want you?

She slipped out of bed,. leaving the rest of Pauline's letter unread, and crouched down by the fire. • "There is still tomorrow!!' It, was as if a voice whispered those words into her ear as she 'crouched by the fire, and suddenly her cheeks flush- ed and her pulses quickened. Tomorrow! It was ' not yet too pened to bring him so soon, or was it just that he found he could not do without her any longer? She lis- tened intently: "Not up yet -very tired after last night. Sleeping soundly." Then Dennis's voice again, impatient, ob- stinate. IIe would wait—if she would tell Mrs. Stark.

For a moment she could not ans- wer; then she said with an effort: "Oh, yes." "I'll get up. Please get my bath ready." Barbara got out of bed and look- ed at herself in the glass.

From this, according .'to weather lore, it would be a winter 'of abundant snow and the hearts of the skiers and elderettes were joyful. Then the wild geese were reported flying north which the weatherwise interpreted as an early spring. This was followed by information that the caribou had failed to come south in Lapland which meant little or nd snow. This, therefore was one down en the Indians with their partridge in feathered pants, and unless March has something out of the ordinary in store for us, our winter is practically over and has proved to be an unusu- ally mild one. Clearly, it is not safe to prognos- , ticate about the weather.

It is be- coming daily more evident that much more can be accomplished, and much better conditions established, if men will work in harmony; if they will help and support each other; if they will so conduct their, affairs as to be reasonably fair to all with whom they may have business dealings. The principle can best be exemplified, so far as business and professional men are concerned, by extending to each other in any community 'such business patronage as we may have to hand out, rather than to extend such favors to these from distant towns or cities. Give to your home business houses all the patronage you possibly can. WHEN IN NEED OF PRINTED MATTER OF ANY KIND CONSULT C
