Nancy wanted to know, watching her closely. "No, you see he doesn't live here. That's why. He's away, and I don't know just when he is coming, I'm awfully sorry but you see that is the way it is. He doesn't live here, and he is coming, but I don't know when, and there are several com- plications." That seemed a good line, Peggy told herself, and she had better learn it well, "Come on, let's go down," she added. "There seem to be complica- tions," Nancy muttered as they left her room. They stopped by Peg- gy's room while she put away her hat, gloves and bag, then went downstairs to join the others on the back terrace for tea. * * * Maxine, of course, was the can - Look, Mother — only one yard needed for this ctite juniper!

Nan- cy seemed morose, but she always was when she was not the center of things, Peggy thought unhappi- ly. Only once did she enter the conversation. "I've often been told," Nancy said, patting her blonde hair, "that I am a lot like Carole Landis. Do you think I am? I've sometimes thought I might go into pictures, You remember, Peggy, at school I was always in all the dramatics? Of course, I don't know just how to get in, but you could probably help inc there,' she said to Maxine. "Well, I'm afraid not," Maxine answered slowly. "You see there are so many pretty girls who want to get in, and they have such bitter disappointments. I just happened to fit a part they needed someone for, and some studio executive saw me when we were going through a studio, and asked me to come back for a screen test. It was just a break, but of course that doesn't happen often." "Have you no ether friends in California, Maxine, except these people of the stage with whom you work?" her grandmother asked, "Olt, yes, of course. But, Gran dear, you must realize that many of the people connected with the studios are delightful. The direc- tors and people like that, I wish you knew some of then." * * * Mrs, Horton shook iter head, "No, they do not seem tc have hurt you, but I am afraid they do not appeal to Inc. I have no desire to meet anyone connected with pic- tures." Peggy was silent for the most part. Content to listen, and eagerly awaiting an opportunity to have a talk with her sister. In the triangle between the serv- ice wing which made an dl on the , opposite side of the house corre- sponding to the office, and the ter- race, Gran had her herb garden. In the late afternoon the clean spi- cy odors of sweet marjoram, tansy, thyme, lavender, heliotrope and others that Peggy could never re- member, mingled, and she inhaled the fragrance contentedly. "Funny about the way things smell," she thought to herself, not listening much to the others, just enjoying the fact that Gran and Maxine and she were together again, "The linens at boarding school were soapily clean, and you knewyou would get and go to bed and cat by a bell, Here they all smell of lavender and helio- trope; and you know the coffee will be hot and served in dainty cups, and that either the sun will be shining or that fires will be burning in the early morning." t, y: * Lath room at Rosewood had its own fireplace, and in the winter a fire was always lighted in the bedroom before its occupantwas up. At night, except in summer, Peggy had sleepily' watched the fire -light dancing on the walls of. her large room ever since she could remember. • After supper, as they were lean- ieg the dining room, Nancy held Peggy back a little after Mrs. Horton and Maxine had left the room. "What are _ we doing tonight?" she asked. "I am always so curl• ons when I'm on a blind date." "But we aren't doing anything," Peggy told her in confusion. "You meat: we haven't any dates?" Nancy asked, drawing back in shocked surprise, "Can't we call up somebody to come over • and • take tis some place or (Wirt.. here or do sontctbing?

How could she? "You see it's on account of my engagement. He is frightfully jeal- ous. Perhaps with Maxine here we may be able to fix up something, I'm sorry." Nancy pouted in silence the rest of the evening. At quarter to ten Mrs. Holton suggested that it was time for bed, since both guests must be tired. Maxine caught Peg- gy's eye and smiled. .A smile of remembrance. This was the hour when Mrs. Horton always suggest- ed it was time for bed. But the light always burned in her own room long after the other lights were out.Both girls had often wondered why Gran always insisted on going up to bed so early, and then re- mained awake so late. But no one aver questioned Gran's decisions, Nancy and Peggy talked as they • walked back and forth between their rooms while they undressed. At least Peggy talked. She kept up a rapid fire, asking of this girl from boarding school and telling what she knew of another. She remembered Nancy's disposition of old. She must fix up something for them to do, (Continued Next Week) SUNDAY , SCHOOL LESSON October 22nd RELIGION IN EDUCATION Mat. 7:7-12 - Luke 6:39-45 Golden Text:—Ye *shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free, John 8:32. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." These were the words of Jesus to the multitudes, and to those who have acknowledged the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour, are now according to John, become the sons of God, and the bank of heaven is at their disposal. 1,Ve are not to be afraid or timid, but to ask, with the assurance that our requests will be granted.

' A Loving God Some fathers will go to a great deal of trouble, and expense to sat- isy the desires of their children, yet it cannot be compared with what the Lord will do for those who love him. A loving father will never give such dangerous things as matches to a child because of the harm they might cause, and a loving God at tines does not grant us the desires of our hearts when it would not be best for us. "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to then." Let us put these words in our book of rememberance where they will never be forgotten. Let us not fail to lend a helping hand at every opportunity. Or if we are tempted to pass by a friend in need, remember the words of ' Jesus "As ye have done it unto one of the least of these my broth - ern, ye have done it unto me." Words Of Advice It is easy to see the ultimate re- sult of the blind leading the blind, but what of the spiritual applica- tion? We who are'so fortunate in possessing God's word, should read it, lest we be lead astray by false teachers. 'By their fruits ye shall know them." Are our guides pro- ducing Godly men and women, typical of the straight and narrow way, or individuals like the many who are on the broadway which leadctlt down to destruction? Criticizing was probably as popu- lar its the days. of Christ as today. How easy to see all the faults in our neighbors, and to overlook all our own shortcomings. May we profit front these words of advice, and consider our way before cast- ing a critical eye at those around us? "Keep thy tongue from evil." To Make Politics Better: Take Part `talking About What Should Be Done To Make -Politics Better Is Not Enough Mr, Elliott Little's advice to business men, givenin a recent broadcast, that they take. more in- terest in politics and use their in. fluence to shape policies, is exciting considerable comment, says the. Ottawa Journal. We can but trust that those who seem to be inter- ested are not overlooking Mr. Lit• tle's suggestions on how to take part in politics. Said he: "As a beginning, I suggest you take this simple but important step: Join the local association of the political party of your choice. At- tend its meetings... exert an in. Nance on the selection of the type of candidate who will ultimately 'stand for office." We wonder dhow many business and professional men — manufac- turers, merchants, lawyers, doe. tors, engineers, school teachers — belong to the Ottawa associations of the Liberal and Conservative parties. How many of those who may belong to them attend their meetings? And how many will be present when those associations fi nally meet in convention to no- minate candidates for the coming Dominion election? We would like to think that Mr. Little's advice and exhortations will not fall on •barren soil — but fear greatly that they will. Busi- ness and professional men plus many others — like to talk about What should be done to make poli- tics better, but that, as a rule, is as far as they go — talk, plus homi- lies at service club luncheons and high-sounding resolutions by Chasm hers of Couhnherce • and Boards al Trade.

Clarke Farm women surely have their troubles when it comes to doing war world Two or three weeks ago our In- stitute decided to hold _a euchre and auction sale to raise money for war work. We also decided to make several quilts to be sold, But alas, we didn't take corn bees into consideration. So, last Monday, when we had two quilts set ' up and were already to go, so were the corn -cutters! Regrets from In- stitute members were corning in wholesale—"So sorry, can't quilt today. Filling silo tomorrow and I must get my baking done." Or again—"I have to take chickens to the city tomorrow—Bill can't go—he has a bid to a corn bee!" So that was that. The few of us who were not tied up with corn bees had to work that much hard- er. We struggled painfully on, working against time and with very sore fingers. We managed two quilts but gave up the ghost on the third. ' * * * Then cane the big day—Friday —and still there were corn bee complications. A feeiing of gloom possessed us. We thought the af- fair was doomed to be a failure, •But we did just as you would probably have done -we carried on and hoped for the best. And. then, as so often happens, the best was surprisingly good. We netted aver a hundred dollars and had lots of fun. There was even a wee puppy for sale, But the next day . . . well, it was not only the morning after the night before, but the morning after a week of real, hard work. * * * . Sometimes I think we farm wo- men are crazy to try doing any war work at all. We have so much to occupy our time. But if we did not ntalce the effort there would be far less Red Cross work going overseas because I have been told repeatedly that there is a greater proportion of work coming from the country than from urban cen- tres. Making use of the odd min- utes is largely a matter of habit, A piece of knitting can easily be picked up as one chats away to casual callers. No apology should be necessary. Rather should an excuse be offered if time be wast- ed. We can safely leave tithe -wast- ing to the mens If I ever see a man making use of spare time other than to puff at a pipe or roll a cigarette, so help me, I shall drop in my ttacks. But of course the men, bless them, sloth have any spare time. Well, neither do the women. Not in the country, anyway. We relax by working at something different, We wash dishes and then sit down to knit. We finish the ironing and then darn the socks. Personally I often darn socks in more ways than one. Maybe you do, too. And we still carry on with ow war work. Maybe it isn't so crazl after all. There will always be lift- ers and leavers. Do you want tt be a leaner? I ant sure I don't. The boys are doing most of the lifting but we can all shove a bit accord- ing to our strength and ability. Step On It!
