SYNOPSIS
Ellen Church, 17 years old, finds
herself 'alone in the world with her
artist, mother's last warning ringing
in her ears, to "love lightly." Of the
world she knew little. Al' her life
she had lived alone with her mother
in an old brown house in a small rur-
al community.. All her life, first as a
new baby, then a bubbling child, then
a charming young girl . . she bad'.

sold her magazine cover painting.

Mrs. Church's broken life . . . the
unfaithful husband, his disappearance
... and after seventeen years of sil-
ence announcement` of his death was
at last disclosed to Ellen. The news
of the husband's death killed Mrs.
Church. . Ellen, alone. turned to
the only contact she knew, the art
agent in New York. Posing, yearn of
posing, was her only talent so she
was introduced to two leading ar-
tists, Dick Alven and Sandy Macin-
tosh. Both used her asia model and
both fell in love with her ... but El-
len, trying to follow the warped phil-
osophy of her mother to "love light-
ly" resists the thought of.love. Her
circle of friends is small, artists andtomorrow—and tomorrow's Sunday-,

"Yes, isn't it," agreed Ellen, She
wouldn't give Tony a chance to say
it first-rhe'd say it,

came to my house—"

asked me?"
Tony spoke at last.
"Ole for crying out loud," he said,
"it's complicated enough 'without-"
Ellen was smoothing the skirt of
her pretty dress. -
"Yes," she said, "it,.is complicated
enough without me. I, think," her
eyes were so bright and only tears
could have made them so. "I think.
it's just about time that I did the con-
ventionel thing—even though I am a

Lightly," Ellen told herself. She'd

her own life, maintaining her home
in her small room, even though Tony
is wealthy ... Jane, of Tony's wealth
set, is disappointed in Tony's sudden
marriage to Ellen.

All at once she was, running from
the conservatory, scurrying along
through the darker ,corners of the
rccrn. And, then she was out of the
door and racing up the stairs. Now
she bad gained the haven of her room
and was tumbling things into her
suitcase.
There was a knock at the door. For
a moment Ellen didn't answer, and
then with an effort ,she steadied her
voice until she could speak.

"I met Tony," Jane's mother said
"I don't get Jane," she said finally, without preamble. "Lie told me that
"What's she playing for, Tony? Not you weren't well. That he was afraid
that it's very sane to ask I know you were going home. Something
what she's playing for. It'syou." like that, Is there anything I can
There was a seriousness back of do ?"
Tony's casual sounding speech, Ellen's voice was steady.
`Jane and I," he said, "knocked "I was going to leave it note for
around together for years. I suppose you," she said. "To tell you—how
she'd gotten to sort of taking sue for
granted . . After ail, we weren't ' •
responsible when we met, you and I.
We shook all of the world's plans
into it cocked hat."
Ellen spoke resentfully.
"That," slie 'said, 'Wakes me feel
like a spare tire. I£ you want an an-
nulment any time, you and Jane—"
"You'ddrop me as easily as that?"
said Tony. "Yon mean it?"
Ellen wanted to say that she didn't
mean it;.that she wouldn't give hin
tip, not for fifty Janes. But instead
she macro her mouth into a straight
line and lowered her lashes so that
Tony couldn't look into her eyes.
"I'd let you go as easily as I'd let
go of this—" she told him. She op-
ened her fingers and the huge chif-
fon handkerchief that she was carry-
ing fluttered, like a dead butterfly,
to the conservatory floor, "I'd—"
"Yes, you would!" said Tony gruf-
fly. A11 at onee he had gathered her
so tightly into his arias that her body
felt bruised against the hardness of
his body. "I'm sick and tired of this
stuff," said Tony, "it's time for a
showodwn: Wielre not fencing, you
and I-eve're married. It's time we
behaved like human beings, ,or—"
IIe stopped. For therewas a rus-
tle of skirts (skirts do rustle this
year) and a voice spoke.

of that room there was no answer.
After: a moment he pushed the. door 'WORLD
in, even though he didn't belong on
the .floor. But there wasn't anyone
in the zoom when he entered. There
wasn't even the dust of powder on
the immaculate top -of the vanity
table.
Iti was nearly dawn when Ellen ar-
rived back in her own little room.,
She threw her suitcase, unpacked, a-
cross a seat, and ,undressed herself
rapidly and flung herself across her
bed. And, though she had quite ex-
pected to sob•,herseif to sleep, she
didn't. Exhaustion is like that it
drains one of the emotions!
There was bright sunshine —. yel-
low, buttery sunshine—lying across
Ellen's face when she wakened.. And,
such is the. buoyancy of youth, coffee
and toast restored to' her' a certain
amount of confidence in herself„Fier

01 course, it was Jana it couldn't
be anybody else. She stood in the
doorway ef, the conservatory- - the
light was behind her. They 'couldn't
see the outline of her face—the ex-.
pression of her eyes and mouth -but
somehow Tony's arms had loosened,
somehow Ellen was wrigging free
of theme.
"You don't know," said' Jane, "how
silly.I feel."
Tony didn't say anything at all—
perhaps it was becausehe couldn't
trust his voice. Ellen didn't say any-
thing either, for a moment, and then
"It's quite all right," she said, "we
were just rehearsing our big scene."
Jane took a step intothe censer-
watery.
"It seems to me," she said at last,
and levelly, "that it's always a big
scene, that it's always a rehearsal.
You and Tony aren't married, real-
ity
"Well," Ellen extended` her slim
left band, "herds the evidence, and
I have - my marriage license some-
where." •
If. Tony had been ellever enough he
could have read the desperation; of.
her bravado.
Jane went on — her voice had
thickened.
"You know what I mean," she said.
"You and. Tony don't 'belong togeth-
er. .• You belong with -fellows like
Sandy and with that Dick, of yours.
"If you're working today," she•told
him, "I'rn just the girl that will•! elp
you. Isere am I, all alone in town
over Sunday." ,
The taxi seemed to crawl through
the quiet Sunday streets, and 'yet at
last she was with. Dick in his old.
familiar workroom,
Ellen, with scarcely ?hole than -a
word of greeting, went behind the
accustomed screen and •changed into
•her Indian dress. And then she was
out again and posing, a little kneel-
ing figure once mero once again
the child priestess.
When Tony came knocking at the
door, after the first half hour of her
posing, when at Dick's bidding he
pushed the door wide, she did not
change her position. Even though his
coining was—just now•—more than a
surprise.
"I'm here," Tony said by way of
greeting, "hunting for my runaway
wife!" He didn't address Ellen at
all; he spoke to Dick,
"Yes?" answered Diek; and 'went
on painting. eI didn't know," he ad-
ded, "that she was a runaway."
Ellen spoke. She spoke dully, al-
though she was in an agony of aux-
iety and embarrassment.
"I didn't tell Dick anything about
the house party — except that I'd
come home," she warned Tony.
"I shouldn't think," said Tony, "that
you'd have to tell him any mare. He's
got sense."
"Which he doesn't always use,"
Dick threw in. All at once he had
thrown down his palette. "You two
kids," .he said, "had better beat it
away from here. I'nm tired. I can't
work any more today. I suppose yon
had something of that sort in your
mind when you came here, Brander?'
Tony still wasn't speaking to Ellen
Ile was speaking over her head, at
Dick,
"Ellen ran out • Ca us last night,"
Ire said, and his tone was cool. "Well
it was a dull Party, I. don't blame
her! As soon as I discovered she'd

But I got-" he funielec1 for wotdt,.

When I stopped at her place this
morning I•found that she'd blown, as

wistful, "if you've really finished

Pathetic in proud Tony's appeal, "I'd
like to take Ellen out with me' for a
little drive somewhere or other."
"Olt by all mneas," said Dick. lie
'was basily scraping bits of paint to-
gether with his palette knife.
,Ellen hadn't been consulted.
Al most before she knew it she was
clattering down the uncarpetecl stairs
of the building with Tony, toward the
red roadster that waited in the street
outside.
"You'd drop me as easily as that?" Nothing was said about the house
party. Believe it or not --nothing.
said Tony. When the sun was actually setting,
Must Have Ethical Training For
Our Youth Says 11. He Stevens
O'ttawa -iThe ssdious imp oaten ce
to Canada of assuring high ethical
standards in the training of our
future citizens was referred to by
the Iron. II. II. Stevens in an inter-
view with reference to announced
plans for the expansion of -the Boy
Scout Movement.
That Canadian youth never before
has played so important 'a role ' in
shaping the Dominion's -destinies.
and at the same time never have pre-
sented so difficult a social and 'econ-
omic problem,l was the :declearation
of the former Minister of Trade and
Commerce and first chairman of the
Price Spreads Commission.
Said Mr. Stevens: "Never in the
history of 'this country has youth
been more prominent in its effect up-
on the future of the country.
"On the one hand trained and in-
formed young .men and wench are,
taking a larger part in the major ac-
tivities of the country.
"On the other hand one is forced
to admit that the most serious social
and economic problem we have to-
day is how we are to care for, in
useful occupation, the thousands of
youths that are leaving our educa-
tional institutions year by year.
"The Boy scout movement has
been ono of the greatest factors in
the development of character in.
youth; and character, after all, is the
most essenitial element in the up -
building of a true citizen.
"No greater contribution could at
this time be made to the country's
welfare than just such contribution
as is being made day by day by the
' Boy . Scout movement's

That ire could pick out in the
school room boys who had been or
were Scouts was the declaration of
Principal. J. L. Forster of the Sand-
wich, Ont., High School, before a
gathering of Border Cities .Scouters.
"In one of any Third Form classes,"
said the principal, "I was so impres-
sed with the scholastic ability of the
boys that I naked those who were
Scouts to stand. A11 but two arose.
sorry I am. Yes, thele is something
I wish, maybe that I could be taken
to the station. I,"ve had a telegram,•
you see."
"Poor child," said lane's mother,
"I hope it's not bad news!"
.Ellen's eyes, meeting hers, k .ew
that she didn't believe in the mythie
cal telegram.
"Yes," said Ellen, "I'm afraid that
it is bad news."
Jane's mother was still standing in
the doorway. Swiftly she spoke.
"Jane is my daughter," she said,
"and I love her very much. Maybe
she's a little spoiled; but she's a dear
girl. And you must remember that
she has loved Telly for a long time."
"Whereas I haven't," answered El-
len.
"Ah," said Jane's mother, "you
haven't! You'll have to •loye him a
great deal to make up for the time
you've missed:"
She was turning, and- then—
"I'll make your excuses to the rest,
at ,breakfast," she end, "Don't you
worry. And if you don't want to go
dowse through the crowded roams,
now, I'll have the car wait for you
at the side door. It will take you
right to your, door, of course. Traffic
is not heavy--this,`•timc of night, It.
will bo quicker than .the train—e"
Ellen was looking at her.
"My mother's hair? said Ellen,
"was like your. hair. Her eyes were
sweet—like your eyes. But she seas
always so tired."
"I'm tired, myself, most of the
time,' said. Jane's' mother, and then.
silentlyshe had closed the door.
When Tony arrived ten minute§
later, after locating the room through'
a certain amount of bribery and cor-
Tony left Ellen at her door. This
time he kissed the tips of her fingers
as lightly, asit is possible for a man
to kiss the tips of any girl's fingers.
"I'm not suggesting," he said, "that
we dine together tonight. We're both
worn out." 'It was his one reference
to the night before. "But 'let's get
together tomorrow, you and I. May
be we can go somewhere outside or
the city, for supper."
And Ellen, with the pulse in her
throat choking her, managed to nod
a ,quick affirmative.-
"We poor 'working girls," she said,.
"like our moments of vacation with
ons rich relations."
"Don't!" said Tony gruffly,and he
left.

Tho next evening 'they drove out
to .the country, to a little' inn. If
their talk were a trifle less formal,'
now, it wasn't .because they were
speaking to each other as married
topples speak. It was because they
were beginning to have a slight bas-
is of reminiscence upon ' which to
build conversations.
Ellen could almost settle herself'
into the red roadster as if she be-
longed in it. And Tony didn't look
quite so finely drawn as he had at
the house party, when they had had
their encounter with Jane.

JANUARY MEETING OF HURON COUNTY
COUNCIL BROUGHT OUT COUNTY'S 'FINE.
FINANCIAL POSITION
County is $55,043 Better Off Than It Was a''',
Year Ago, Treasurer Reports
That all County accounts for, 19341
show, a surplus was announced by
County Treasurer Erskine at the
afternoon session of the Huron Coun-
ty' Council on Wednesday. The Gen-
eral account closed the year with a
cash balance of $6,304,16. In addi-
tion to this there .is owing, the re-
bate
en the October quarter of the
Administration of Justice; also hos-
pital accounts owing by municipali-
ties.
"The Provincial Highway account
hada cash balance of $1,220.48. The
County Highways account has an es-
timated surplus of 3.2,518.36. On
these accounts the total surplus is
310,043.00 after paying off .$45,000.
of a carryover from 1933. The eoun
ty is therefore $55,043.00 better off
than a year Ago at this time. When
it is considered -that this has been
accomplished without an increase in
the mill rate, the year 1934 ieertain-
ly' notes a marked change in Huron
County finances," said Mr. Etskine,
A delegation from the townships
of Hay and Stephen presenteda pe-
tition with 638 names affixed asking
the Council to petition. the Provin-
cial Department of Highways to take,
over a road, No. 7, i.e, the town'iine
between Hay and •Stephen Townships
as a part of the Highways of the
Province. •
,Dr,"Taylor of Dashwood, the first
speaker for the - delegation, stated
that the upkeep and re -conditioning
of this road would' be a tremendous
expense to the county. , There . are
bridges which must be rebuilt for in
some places the water runs over the
road and it would cost the county
3150,000 to put the road in good
shape and keep it that way for any
length of time, saki Dr. Taylor.
"In the past few years the tourist
traffic has increased considerably
on this road," said Dr. Taylor, "and
if the •road is taken over by the
Department of Highways, they will
foot the expense. •Since the De-.
pantment of Highways advocate the
splendid =edition of our highways,
the Blue Water Highway in parti-
eular, tourists from United States
stud other points, use this Toad a
great deal as a connecting link with
our ]anger centres. Therefore the
Government would not be getting a
one-sided bargain" eves Dr, Taylor's
opinion.
Burden To County
James Morley, of Exeter, stated
that he felt that the road would be
ae great burden to the county and, he
drove home the fact that thep etition
was not matter produced by separ-
ate municipalities bjut one in which
people all along the roast and in the
surrounding country were acutely in-
terested.
Rueben Goetz, of Dashwood, in
speaking on the subject, 'quoted a
few figures in connection "with ' the
road and expressed the opinion that
the road was used as much if not •
more by the residents of such centres
as Stratford and London as it was
by those in the immediate vicinity.
Under the heading of Inquiries,
the matter of grants to Public Lib-
raries arose, Reeve Hanley stating
that in former 'years grants were
given to libraries but of late they
have hada great struggle to keep
fumetioning.
Peter Scott explained that he had
been chairman of that committee the
year that the grants were cut off
and that this had been done because
some were found to have a surplus.
Other members of the council enter-
ed the 'discussion and a motion, was -
finaIly put regarding the matter.
Reeve Davidson of Wingham
brought up the question of petition-
ing the Department of Highways to
pave the Wengham-Olinton Highway,
Other .members of the council
spoke in support of this suggestion,
Reeve McNall of Blyth stating that
"If any man who lives in North 'Hu-
ron votes against the paving of this
highway he is not working in the in-
terests of Huron County. The money
will be spent somewhere in Ontario,
achy not let the Government spend it
here where it is needed?"
Asks For Fairness
Reeve Eckert of McKillop in reply
to Ms. McN'all'sstatement said, "Be
fair, don't ask the province to do
something you wouldn't do yourself,
This thing might mean a great ex-
penditure to add to people who are
already carrying a great burden,
Reeve Cardiff suggested that a
provision be added to read "if the
government will pay 100 per cent. o
the cost incurred."
Refresher Course Likely
Dr. •John M. Field, public schoo
inspector, for East Huron, discussed
various phases in his work during th
