We have been seeing each other every night, if only for a few minutes. We are madly in love. ALL FOR LOVE? "I know that life will not be worth living without her. She feels the same way. "She has three children now. She told her oldest daughter about us, and the girl said to go away 'where nobody knows us, and be together the rest of our lives. "I would like nothing better.

Y ARO ICLES INGERP '°Y Gw¢ndol.i.rte 0 Cleenke It has been such a wonderful week — warm, bright sunshine and good drying winds to which budding trees and - flowers have responded with miraculous speed. Fall wheat and- pasture fields look green and promising; gardens are gay with nodding daffodils. Here and There on light soil fanners are alreac_v out on the land. Yes, be- fore t ur very eyes the miracle of spring is taking place all over again. Lawns are being raked and a few clays will see lawn movers once more in • action — and no doubt there will be a bit of brow - mopping and a few aching backs as a result. Aly first job outside was remov- ing and burning a pile of brush .left over last fall when the early snow came and - caught us un- awares. Quite a chore when it has been left so long but any job is welcome as a legitimate excuse for staying outside. And it is up to me to do it as Partner will have no time to spare until the cows are out' to grass, which will not be • for a few weeks yet. But I don't mind — after all, who wants to work inside when the great out- doors is sounding its first clear call to•action..\t such a time one also realizes how good it is to be alive — and how good to live in the country. The pity of it is all people are net equally fortunate. Down Owe, for instance, our small hos- pital has every bed occupied all the time. For patients whose stay there is brief one knows they will soon be tip and around and will not miss very much but how one grieves for those who will be, or have been, confined to bed for any length of time. It so happens that I know several such rases just now and 1 feel almost guilty in visit- ing them while I am enjoying ap- parent good health. I wish I could take spring into the hospital as easily as 1 ran take a bouquet of flowers, 11 1 cold only take some of the -•:e dear people who love the conntty just a corner of a field where the mayflowers- grow, or have them ')tear the bobolinks song of ecstasy a$ they sing front their perch on the telephone wires. Or take t1itnt a short distance to the little country church I went to 3eetcrday. Such a Iovely little church, with a ciutplicity and dignity peculiarly its own. The service was straight- forward and unaffected; tite con- gregation, nrtstly front farm fami- lies, seemed unhurried and very much in eaut•st. The church is amino,; the hills, and not too far away one secs the- jiutestone cliff of Rauule,tt ke 'Point. Perhaps it was only coincidence but I was particularly struck with the ap- propriatcness of the closing hyniu --•- "Unto the hills around do I lilt up guy longing eye.." I thought, of the early settlers of this dis- t.rict, facing untold hardships with such reinarl:able courage and fore tittle, bow often they must have lifted their eyes "unto the hills" and remembered to their comfort "Jehovah 5111111 preserve thy go- ing out, thy coaxing ,its." 1 love little • country churches -- partly because the last resting place of the early pi, users is there within the precincts of the church. And I also have a queer feeling that God rust have a special place in Itis heart for• the little country church, no matter what faith of creed it represents, • Canting haute 1 noticed a strik- ing, but by now a common con- trast, to the rural crenntunity 1 had just left. I came past an out- lying district of a 5111811 town coin - nattily l env: ti as 'Shack -town". ,Itatl.-tewn, 1 noticed,.

Well, I have been talking mostly about the great outdoors but I have also found an indoor treasure which promises to be a goldmine of information. That is, nur public library. Of course, the library has been there for years but book space has been so cramped that it was impossible to- know what books were there — other than the newer books. Now the library has been moved to newer and Kiger quarters and -the old volutes are getting the prominence they de- serve. For research and historical data such books are invaluable to those who are interested. I anti- cipate many happy hours brows- ing among these books of yweer- day.

Washington Dodge, wail Street broker, snapp- ed, "Money." • Charles Allen Smart, author of R.F,D. and Sassafras Ifi11, rushed breathlessly into his publisher's office, and apologized, "Forgive me for being late, but I just met my recent commanding officer and he let me off at the wrong floor."

They have discovered the "poor man's dia- mond." From a stick of silvery titanium, a metal which is actually the earth's ninth most common element and far more plentiful than nickel or copper, they have found a cheap and simple way of mass-producing gems which, when properly pol- ished, can even outshine diamonds. These new titanium gems glit- ter w'itli vivid diamond "fire" and are tougher than steel. For research purposes the experts have produc- ed a "diamond" pencil ten ,incites long, which flashes like a magic wand yet eau be sliced into hund- reds of small discs, each outshin- ing a true $2,000 diamond, Is this the beginning of the end for the world's merry but mono- poly -fostered diamond boom? To. foreshadow the future, crystal ex- perts have glanced hack to the day -5 years ttgo--when French scientist Louis Verneuil dripped aluminum oxide through a furnace, added metallic pigments and built the first synthetic sapphire. Thanks to this process the Swiss were soon turning out millions of syn- thetic sapphires . Inc watch -makers and selling them for as little as a dine apiece. The world's watches would otherwise cost roughly double their present price. Sapphire bearings are used in the armaments drive, in gauges and measuring instruments, and millions are now pouring from an important British factory. In the export drive a pound of saphhire needles for long-playing microgroove records sells at $100,- 000. Yet that works out at little more than fifteen cents each) By a similar process the Ver- neuil method led to synthetic star rubies. Until recently most of the world's 50 star rubies were zeal- ously guarded in India and market prices averaged $1,500 a carat. Now artificial star rubies sell at $35 a carat. Thousands of perfect speciuten% have been made, includ- ing the largest star ruby ever cut, a stone nearly as large as the Koh-i-nur. Nov diamonds are marching along the saute high road. Only an X-ray crystallography examina- tion can establish the difference between many titanium diamonds and Ieuuine, natural stone. "They are too good—nature is never perfect," jewellers say. Scien- tists believe, however, that it will be possible to introduce slight flaws into the stone to overcome this. Chief merit of the new process is its cheapness. It has always been claimed that a Victorian ex- perimenter named John - Hannay actually utarle synthetic diamonds seventy years ago, but the cost made them as dear as real dia- monds. Did 11anttay really produce real stones? Mrs. Kathleen Lonsdale, an eminent British crystal expert, heard recently that two of his stones were in the safe keeping of the British ?tfuseunt and aslced to be allowed to subject them to scientific tests. Permission was readily granted and Mrs. Lonsdale made an ex- haustive scrutiny at the Davy - Faraday laboratory. Old Hatinay's diamonds, though synthetic, ssere proved to be real diamonds. I{annay's experiments had to be kept in cold storage but it's evident that the cheaper titanium stones have come to stay, SEDICIN tablets taken according to dkeeilons is a safe way to induce sleep ee quiet the nerves whon tense. $1.00 Drug Stores only! or Sedicin, Toronto 2.

Modern Etiquette Ely Roberta Lee Q. When it is impossible for a man's mother to pay the conven- tional visit upon her son's new fiancee, what kind of a letter can she write? A, "Dear Ruth: Jim has just told us of his great happiness which, of course, brings joy to its. Our one regret is that we are so far away (or whatever it is that prevents the visit) that we cannot immediately welcome you in person. We do, however, send you our love and good wishes. Margaret Wilson," Q. Is it all right for a hostess to serve two or three dishes at a time, if she txtust do all the serving alone? , A. Of course. Considerate guests would not criticize her for this, and of course she would not be serving if the dinner were formal, Q. Is it all right for a man to use only his initials when signing social correspondence? A. No; he should sign his full name. Q. Is it proper to guess at a name if one has not heard it dis- tinctly during an introduction? A. No; it is Hutch better to ask and be correct. The proper thing to say would be: "I'nt very sorry, but 1 did not hear your name clearly," or, "Diel Mr. Johnson call you Miss Ferris? I'm sorry, but I did not hear very well," Q. How far in advance of the wedding should gifts be sent to the bride? A. Usually two weeks or ten days before the date of the wedd- ing, so that the bride may have time to acknowledge it. Q. What is the proper thing for a woman to do when calling, if she finds her hostess is preparing to go out? A. She may say, "I see you are ready to go out; I won't keep you." However, if the hostess insists that she remain for awhile, it is perfectly proper to do so. HIS ERROR Alfred Knopf is very particular about the cigars be sntcakes.
