There is so men work waiting to be done at,home. rt ,* 4 We . have threshing to do,' oats to draw in and barley to cut— and son Bob, because a wire from headquarters has been held up some place, is on draft for Camp , Borden! Partner isn't able to cut the barley; we can't draw in oats until we have threshed; and we can't thresh until Bob gets back home to look after things. And the threshing machine is on the line and will probably want to move in sometime tomorrow. We are also afraid to leave the house very long in case "long distance" should call, If I have to go out 1 generally warn Partner to listen for the phone. But that idea doesn't work too well because he generally falls asleep if he is left in the house too long alone..I tell him his guardian- ship is parellel to that of King Al- fred and the cakes, * * * Since I had to be in thehouse so much lately I thought it might be a good idea to get a room pap- ered — a job that has been hang- ing fire for some time. Our young niece Betty is staying with us so, it occurred to me that with her help I might even be able to paper the ceiling - a job I have never yet tackled alone. The ceiling was low enough that I could reach it from a chair and the room not so terribly big. So I hopefully cut and measured one strip of paper — f thoeght one piece would be enough to expert-, "went with. Well, I wrestled with that piece of evil for nearly an hour — pasting and repasting. At one time I hall it wrapped around me like a winding sheet and of course I finished up by tearing it into any number of pieces. In des- peration I came downstairs and phoned a neighbor — "Tow do you get one end of a strip to stay on a ceiling while you fix the other?" I asked. Well, after she had finished laughing at me she said — "Yon just leave it for now aid I will come down after slipper and help you." So that was that. The ceiling was done that night and Betty and I papered the walls next day. It Is grand to have neigbhours and neices! I * 4 Another telephone call ... Bob, from down town . - he was nn parade and all ready to move out to Camp Borden 'when his name was called and he was sent back home again. "All's well that ends well" — so they say. Auntie: "How did Timmy get on in his history exam?" Mother: Not very well, but it wasn't his fault. They asked him things that happened before the poor boy was born." DREAM TURNS REAL For nearly 15 years, Dr. Syngman Rhee, above, has been president of the provisional gbvernment of Korea.

Would it be permissible for a man to pass in front of a wo- man, in order to get out 01 an automobile on the curb side? 2. When giving a luncheon, when should .the bread and butter plates be pet on the table? 8. What should a hostess do if a caller refuses a. cup of tea or coffee? 4. If a man has asked a girl for permission to call and she has declined, should he ask her again at seine other time? 0. Is it correct for parents to Introduce their children to adults? 6. What is the proper position to place a butter knife on the but- ter plate? ANSWERS 1. Yes, and It is also safer than getting out on the traffic hide. Of course it would be more con- venient for the driver to get out on the left side. 2. Before the guests enter the diningroom. 8. The hostess should accept the refusal and not make the offer a second time. 4. That depends en- tirely upon the manner in which she refused his first request.

YANKS IN PARIS CELEBRATE PEACE Piling aboard a passing jeep, American G.I.'s and a Wac ride through the streets of Paris, waving Allied flags and cheering the end of the war. LOIJfS ARTHUR CUNNINGHAM CHAPTER XVI "What's in the'wipe. Peter? Any idea?" "Alt, well'!" Roger looked at the clear blue sky and thought of Meridel's eyes and closed his own, it would be good to fly again, to range the heavens wide and free. "By the way," said Peter Ays- cough, "I heard they found that ritzy :station wagon of yours aban- doned of Sainte-Barbe, not far front the border. The fugitives grabbed sonic farmer's truck there and took it almost to the line And they're over, 1 guess. They seeem to have vanished into thin air." "I thought they'd get away. Nervy beggars." "It's s devil of a note— That Kehl—Captain Manfred Kehl a big shot Nazi; the other lad, Faber, was -a hell -raiser too. No end of trouble with him in the camp, J heard from a chap who did duty there. They'll find some pals in the States, you may be sure. 1. suppose they'll tuns up next in Tobruk." Roger, deep in his heart, did not know whether to be glad or sorry that Michel had escaped. For a while he had thought, with Tante Mimi, that perhaps a bullet from a pursuer's gun would be the best answer to it all. Now he did not know. Hie own happiness was so great, so evondrous. Perhaps the Americans, this time, would grant no hail, would take the men and hold them prisoners until the war was over. Certainly it would be foolhardy to let those two escape: Well, anyway, it wasn't his worry any more.. The children had presented Pe- ter Ayscough with a huge basket or ribbon -candy, barley toys, bon-- bons, on-bons, fruit and nuts, which he con- sumed happily along the way at the constant hazard of wrecking the machine and breaking their necks. "It will be a relief to get• up in the air again, Pete," said Roger as they stewed away from the edge of a gully and grazed a telephone pole 011 the other side of the road. "So safe up there." "It is bit slippery, Sir, Gosh, you must have had t: swell time at your aunt's place, if this is a sample of it. Was that pretty girl the princess?" "Yes—that was the princess." "Boyl She looked it. War surely lies it compensations." - "Yes," said Roger wryly. "It's been a great war for the Fabres. We'll all be sorry to see it end." He fell si"ent, thinking of that last lovely pietere he had taken away with hits, the bright faces of the children, nmadame's burning black eyes and the pride in them and the tears thnt o ere like jewels in the eyes of Meridel. Behind 'them the gray walls of the chateau; behind it the hills crowned with the dark green beauty of the spruce trees and the p11 es. - :I * * Your dear. remembered face, he thought. Nothing shall dins the memory of it for me—not the mountains and the seas between; not years it I should be kept away from you that long; not eternity. But I'll come back to you, Meridel. I know I was .not first in your heart. HIe cane there once for a little while and possessed it, anti he does not easily let go. I'm sorry the end for him had to be like this, so clark, so shamefully dark, I would rather have bested bine in fair fight or at least have had the chance to fight, even had I lost. There's something hollow about tbis victory, something that robs it of its savor. Dreaming thine dozed off and it was not until they had rolled into time outlying districts of the city where Ayr•.cough had a chance to do some really fancy driving. that he awakened—just as their front fender grazed the mighty bumper of a truck, - "Did I miss much, Pete?" _. "You have no idea, .sir." Pete grinned cheerfully. '.All amen, espe- cially trach drivers, will remem- ber the paging of Peter' Ayscough," "With a blessing, Tll bet." "Well, 1 did hear some of them mention ltdnmes that go with bless- ings, thnuge their faces belied their words. But l do my best, my very best, and de i1 every day. Always the first to spring. to arts at the call of duty, that's nee, Pete." * Gradually, tenet descended on the great house as the laughter, the busy tongues •.were stilled by sleep. Rudolph, the incorrigible, went to. the kitchensoon after dimmer, to sit in the chair he loved, to talk grave- ly with Gesner and the cook and Florian and the other domestics, of wars and tee aftermath cf war, of his own: experience itt the army of France in the First World War, He spoke of the great generals of history, of the first -great Churchill, Corporal John, Duke of Maribor. ough; of Prince Eugene, of Napnle• on, Wellington and Blether.

Madame and ?vleridel shared the fire in the room upstairs. It had been a gaud day. The events of last night had not faded, any more than the 'wine stain on - the taupe carpet. 13utthe beautite of the day had taken some of the ugliness from them; the sweet and gentle spirit, the love that had 1,vrt.aded the house had driven ti „c dark shadows Into hiding and beth of thein prayed, the old lady and the young girl in whose eyes the dreams refused to die, that- they would not come again. "You sent Roger away ha "ty this tune," raid madame. "Never be- fore have I seen hits go 40 gayly leave so much that he loved be- hind and depart singing. But it was so today. I think he neat have taken.. entlietifing very precious away with hitt," * * * Meridel colored, looked at her hand that he had kissed. 'Some- thing very small I think, madame. He aslced for my love and 1 told hint it was freely given." The old lady looked at her shrewdly for a moment; then at the fire. She rubbed her chin on the gleaming knob of her stick. "Freely, yes," she said after a moment. "Sometinees, 1 know, it is not in our power to give as we should like to give.' "And is not that selfi=shness,. madame?" The thin shoulders shrugged. "Say, rather, it is human nature— a perverse, stubborn, so:retfinec hateful thing. Logic stops at hu- man nature. Why do we do the things we do, hein? Why sl:vuld we cause pain to those who lave us most? Roger adores you, but you know what it is in love—one who loves, one who permits herself to be loved. It is like that in any match. There is no balance. One gives, the other takes. Oh, 1 Itave seen it often, often." "You think it is like that with --- with Roger and me?" "Isn't it?'' - "I—". she coverd her face with her hands. "I do not know. Oh, he is so fine. He is what you call a noble knight. I am nothing.
