Miss 1.1ic' Davids sat in 'her of-
fice, narking the exercises of her
high-school English classes. There
was a t mid tap on her door. The
knob was turned gently and a face
peeped
"Yes, Miss Hanson:"
Ruthn ary Hanson's pretty little -
girl's face paled. "Miss Davids."
She paused, • unhappily. Then, as
- if her courage had been -gathered
up, "May I ask ,.on a personal hues -
tion?"
Alice Davids smiled, "Why yes,
Ruthniary, but I can't promise to
ans,rer."
The w'ords I3..gan bubbling out.
'Miss Davids I know you'll think
I'tn awfully fresh, honestly I'm
not. I just have to know, Why
didn't you get married instead of
-bring a t nher?"
Alice Da ds had had many ex-
periences Willi students' questions.
Now she felt she had underesti-

the girl, who stared back miserab-
ly, looking like a goldfish as she
opened, and closed her mouth, try-
ing to say something that wouldn't
come.
Quickly her mind ran over what
she knew about Ruthmary: Not
too bright, just a good passing
student. Ruthniary and she were
friendly, but then she honestly liked.
all her students, and they liked her.
Boy friends? Yes, there was Jim
Townley, nice boy, good brains,
fond of Ruthniary, and she seem-
ingly liked him. Ambitious? Yes,
that was itl Boy friend, ambitious;
that motion -picture magazine that
Rutlunary tried, unsuccessfully, to
read one day in class. She smiled
at Ruthmary, suddenly remember-
ing that this child was just gradu-
ating and was eighteen.
Ruthniary, on the verge of
tears, smiled back. "I'm sorry, Miss
Darius. I guess I shouldn't have
"Ruthusary," Miss Davids inter-
rupted, "you and I have always been
pretty good friends, haven't we?"
"Yes'm," she gulped.
"If I tell you, will you promise
to keep it a secret?"
"Oh, yes, Miss Davids, I won't
tell a soul, honest I won't. 1 just
had to know for :.."
"I don't_have to be told, Ruth -
;nary You on Must have a good -reas-
on. It's a rather odd question but
I don't mind answering at all. 'Not
to a nice understanding girl like
you. 1 like teaching very much,
Ruthniary."
;Hiss Davids went on, "Yet, 1
know that if I had' my choice, .1
wouldn't he here. My John and I
had such plans together, such _ex-
citing plans," Miss Davids sighed.
Ruthniary was now on the edge
of her seat,
"We were brought up together,
went to the same schools, had the
sante ideas about life, We both
liked people and we wanted our
Ihonee and -but all that is over now,
has been over for many years. Yes,
dear, I like teaching, but tnost
people aren't made to live alone,
and that is especially true of wo-
men. No matter how much you like
your work, no matter how success-
ful, you still feel the emptiness of
knowing that you have no one
really close to you."
Miss Davids smiled sadly. "Here's
a picture of us just a few months
before he left me for her."
Ruthniary looked, through tears,
at the handsome man who stood
grinning at a much prettier Iefiss
Davids, and then carefully put tl
down. She left the office without a
word.
Alice Davids went back to her
desk, and picked up the picture.
"You know," she mused, "you're
rather a good-looking fellow at
that. Wait till you hear how you
broke my Heart."
Still grinning she put the picture
down. She was about to start look -
Mg for stationery. Then .she thought
-the themes,
"I've got to grade them first ,dear
brother, the letter from your brok-
en-hearted sister can wait." Still
grinning at her lawyer -brother she
resumed grading papers.

working as waitresses at various resorts during the summer.

The iitost important news this
week is what hasn't happened -and
it's old news at that. I mean an-
other week has gone by and still
no rain. We have never seen things
so dry slid withered before, The
ground is strewn with tired, brown
leaves, lacking the vitality to stay
on the trees to await that first sharp
frost that gives them colour and
interest. Wheat ground all over the
district is ploughed but little of it
worked and, as far as we know,
none of it Sown. Wheat sown now
would merely ,Terre as food for
birds.
Not only has there ybetn no rain
but we now have another heat wave
-only the "probs" are that it will
be of short duration, thank good-
ness, However, there is one happy
aspect to this hot, dry weather -
it has produced a bumper crop of
tomatoes. 11'e have been swamped
with them -and all from four dozen
plants. Two weeks ago I bought
tomatoes, never expecting to get
enough for canning from our own
plants -not after the worms had
done their. work! But every day I
have been picking one or more bas-
kets of the fruit -or vegetable -
whichever you Iike to call it -as a
result jars and jars have been filled
with rich, red juice. Yes, tomatoes
and peaches have kept me bus'.

And then there was the "Ex" to
go to again, and an Institute meet-
ing, and on Friday niece Joy ar-
rived for a belated holiday. And
that's the way it goes.
But Partner and I did have a day
at the "Ex" together after all. It
was Bob who stayed home to see
that the home fires didn't start burn.
ing, But he must certainly have
had thein in mind as while we were
away he rigged up an old circular
saw which he bought or borrowed,
I'm not sure which: Anyway he. had
.quite a pile of cordwood cut up and
would have had more only the saw
fell apart) At least the platform did.
But Bob was quite happy rebuilding
it and the next day he and his Dad
went at it again and the pile grew
higher and higher,:
Partner and I had a good day at
the "Ex". One of the highlights of

the Women'. Building with Mrs.
Kate Aitken as hostess. The success
of anything with Mrs. Aitken ,in
charge is a foregone conclusion and
this lunch was no exception. She
is certainly the perfect hostess, And
there are always interesting speak-
ers and one meets old friends and
new acquaintances and there is the
quiet enjoyment one gets front a
well -served meal in an uncrowded
and airy dining -room.
After lunch I treaded for the
Band Shell where I was to meet
Partner. I forgot the rest of the
people; the noisy crowds going by,
as I listened to the Welsh Guards
Band playing so many pieces that
are among my favorites. One felt
the heat, the crowds, and the trip
back and forth to the city was well
worth enduring as one listened in
silent enjoyment to the "hallelujah
Chorus" and "Jesu, Joy of Man's
Desiring", I won't say any more be-
cause I couldn't possibly tell you
what it 11102111 to hear ntusic like
that played by such a wonderful
band. I was wishing Cicely could
have been with us.

And speaking of Cicely -here is
something she wrote en route -I
imagine while• flying from Melton
to Montreal and I think she meant
it to he included in my column,
Thoughts on Leaving Canada
"1 am no writer and have not the
gift of expressing my thoughts and
feelings itt an attractive way, but I
should like, es a visitor, to say,
``thank you, Canada, very much for
a thoroughly enjoyable holiday.' As
I sail comfortably through the air,
on my flight back to England, 1
feel I aim leaving behind a very
warm-hearted, friendly and gener-
ous people. Like the vast land they
live in, with its huge buildings and
rolling landscapes, there is, nothing
mean or grudging about them and'
they freely invite the visitor to share
and enjoy everything with them.
In conclusion 1 ; irndd like to
thank my host and hos 'lr,
and Mrs. L. 1''.Clarke. is r 1' '
