"Burt you, madame—J. "I?" The bright eyes danced and sparkled. 'Well, L have thought of that. "I shall be your housekeeper." "But, madatne—" "Stop making objections, This place is like a museum and it's dull As a morgue and it is the mercy of the good God that hascaused some excitement to happen. It will be good to have these little ones. There is no reason in the world that they should ever know you Were the butler. We can have a new man in the morning. I'll phone to Gabriel collet at once." "But will it not be cruel to de- ceive them, to let then, think—" "No!" screamed madame, "No! Not Nal But it would be cruel to have them learns after being bombed and torpedoed and frozen and starved, that they are very likely to be at least frozen and starved again, my old one. * * "There!" She lowered her voice as she saw the hurt, the trouble, the defeat in Rudolph's pale blue eyes, After all, he had dreamed of greatness once, of the high places, of ease and opulence, "I did not mean that you would be unable to maintail, them, but three is quite a number and children need so much! Believe me, too, you will be doing a kndness to a lonely old woman. Not in years have I had the prospect of such fun or looked forward so much to anything. You must do as I tell you, Monsieur le Baron. I must begin calling you baron." Rudolph stared at Madame, Fa- bre-Lusignan, comprehension com- ing like a slow dawn into his eyes. "There are no words, madame — none that I know in any language, to express-" "There may be sonic in Siwash," said the old lady, biting on a roll, "but skip it, Rudi. When do the young ones arrive?" "I should judge from the little 1 have digested of the press account that they wil' be here on tonight's train. They know the name of the station, St. Didier des Montagnes." "They speak French?

They will traVel in ignorance, even were there any to tell thein you do not own the Chateau Philibert," "Some day they'll have to know, madame." "Oh, tell them then you lost it in a poker gauze. Now I shall talk to that sly lawyer, Gabriel collet, on thetelep'hone and have him send a staff. I'll also tell hini that my home is now the house of my guests, the Baron Rudi de Morpin, the young Princess of Gratzen, the royal cousins." "It sounds like a dream, ma- dame." She smiled up at him over the white telephone, like an old pixy. "1 began to live again, Baron. I must also call my nephew, Roger Faure, and tell him the same story. He would be one to conte blunder- ing in and spoil things. I take it, Rudolph — Baron — it would ruin everything if the pretty Meridel knew—" "She would not stay. I think," Rudi shook his head. "If she is like—" "Alt!" The black eyes danced. "Ah, it was then her mother for whom you vowed to build the gold- en castle," Rudoph nodded slowly. "She was born for a -castle." "All women are," saidmadame. i"Ntough most see theirs in the smoke from the kitchen stove or the steatm from the wash tub. Ah, you, Pellet, my old spittoon. how goes it I want you to seed me some servants at once. I am en- tertaining royalty. Oh, no, my smart friend—not Napoleon; nor am 1 Cleopatra. You listen to me and keep quiet." St. Didier des Montagnes is only three hours by car from Montreal. Gabriel Pallet who of late had oh - decked little to madamte's most ex-, travagant whims, sent the requir- ed domestics up to the mountain chateau so quickly that it savored considerably of Aladdin's lamp. * * * The old Indy inspected the new cook, maids and butler. The chauf- feur had already gone to meet the }wheezy old train that arrived at S. Didier every other night, The baron, the subdued but stately Ru- dolph, had accompanied him. These people, madame had stipu- ateti, must know nothing of her status at Philibert. She was the beusekeeper, Madame Laurin. She had left off the usual ghastly makeup, donned a black silk dress end white cap and looked the part. Site was a great actre's, madame. Rudolph's eyes glistened when he saw the way she curtsied in the great entry hall of the chateau as the princess and her little cousins (walked up the wide steps. * * * The new staff gave their respect- ful salutations, genuine awe in their eyes. This was indeed a prin- cess. True, she wore an olid tweed Burberry that had seen many storms and a fawn felt hat that was battered and out of shape, but her hair was like Marguerite's and when she uncovered her head the thick braids of it. lay coronet fash- ion like things woven of golden sunbeams, and her mouth, though red and soft, was imperious; the 'blue of her eyes was deep and fearless. The blond little boy, Pol Martin, stood on one side of her, Rosine witlt long straw-colored curls and great blue -black eyes, clung to her hand. They looked about them' and suddenly Mericlet's !mouth twisted and she flung her arms about Ru- dolph's neck and hid her face against his shoulder; the little ones came shyly close to him. They were like neatly exhausted swimmers in a wild sea, mused madame, who have at last reach- ed the safe and solid land. Aud in that moment she thanked God that she- had done this thing. • "If 11 please Year Iligluness," said madame in slow French --"I shall show you and the tittle ones to your apartments." With a nod she dismissed butler, maids and cook. The chauffeur hall entered with the meager luggage.

Clarke • * 4 8 rt • Yesterday I was down town and I niet many persons who looked happier than I had seen them for some time. That haunted look was gone from their eyes ... they want- ed to stop and talk about where their boys were and what they were ,going . , . and possibly for the first time in months they talked without restraint and without fear. It was good to talk with them. :x * * Yes. it is easy to rejoice with those who have reason for rejoic- ing. But what of the others? On the day of victory what can one say to he widow whose only son was killed when his plane crashed just a few short weeks ago ,,, or to the father whose nineteen -year old son was recently the victim of a sniper's bullet ... or to the family who, as yet, have no knowledge of the whereabouts of their son re- ported to be a prisoner of war in t=crmatty, .\ttl above all, how can one find words to sympathise with the young wife and mother, who in the midst of general rejoici..g, re- ceives word that her young hus- band has been killed in action? Perhaps these are not very cheerful thoughts — nevertheless one should remember there are hundreds of such cases in our midst — and if one remembers, then naturally one takes care that diose who have suffered greatly will not be wounded still further by tactless and over -exuberant ce- lebrations if it is in ottr power to prevent it. * 4 * Happily, there is another side to the picture. The long looked for re- turn of the "five-year" men, flus - bawls who must learn to court again the girls they married. Fa- thers renewing their acquaintance with the kiddies who were mere toddlers when Daddy %vent away, And who can match the pri,le of the father who sees his son or daughter for the vett lir>i time? Some of these happy family re- unions are taking place day after day ... and now that the war is over, every mother, every wife and every sweetheart, whose loved ones have been spared, will feel that at last she can really hope — hope without that nameless dread — that the time will come, when the boy, or boys, who went away, will be marching home again. Yes, but we shall need to have patience and fortitude. Wars are not settled overnight. bighting will cease but there is still much work to be done, and the lads who wear the King's uniform are needel for the job, And there is still Japan! * $ * As for us — particularly for the women who wait — we have our work to do —. there is no room for idleness or relaxation while un- dreamed of distress prevails in Europe — but we can go forward With hopeful hearts, doing the job• that nearest, helping, each in our own small tray, to build a new world, making our homes and our communities places that our boys will be glad to conte back to; re- membering always that it depends upon us whether the boys will say upon their return "THIS was worth fighting for!" That "Pro" Look Keep an ironing board and iron set up yhile sewing. Each seam should be dressed as soon a; it is stitched, This produces neater, more tailored results and gives the garment that professional leek.
