SYNOPSIS Pauline, sentimental, trustful, sin- cere and loving love, becomes engag- ed and marries Dennis O'Hara in the belief that their blissful happiness will continued unchanged thru all the years. On her wedding morning she awakens with a strange premonition that maybe love does change, a thought buried in her mind by a let- ter from her closest friend, Barbara, the night before. Pauline adored Barbara who had been married, was thei.mother of a child which died, but now divorced and living a life which some of her friends could not under- stand. Between Dennis and Barbara is a seeming wall of personal dislike by both. Six months after Pauline's wedding, Barbara comes for a short stay: During this visit Barbara 'con- fesses to Pauline that there is a man she really loves, but re refuses to tell his name. Barbara decides suddenly of go home and Pauline . insists'Den- nis driver her to the station.. Irri- tated Dennis drives recklessly, and they are in a crash. Barbara esacpes injury but Dennis' leg is broken. As he returns to consciousness he learns who the man is that Barbara. loves. It's himself. Dennis spend several weeks in the hospital. Barbara returns to stay with Pauline, but one pretext or an- other fails to visit Dennis with Paul- ine at the hospital. Pauline plans highly for Dennis' return home. Barbara stays only one day after Dennis' return, from the hospital. Much against his will Dennis finds a new attraction in Barbara, who plays the same cool and attached role as formerly. A fortnight after Barbara returns to New York, she receives a letter from Pauline that she and Dennis are coming to. New York for a little vacation. THOMAS E.

If only Jerry wouldn't be so slavish. No doubt some women should love such devotion, but she found it irritating. He ought to have married a woman like Pauline. Barbara spent the morning at her dressmaker's. Madame Celeste had some new creations freshly arrived from Paris that morning, so she un- truthfully said. She showed. Barbara all her most expensive ' and exotic models, but. Barbara would havenone of them.'. "I am going to change my style," she said coolly, "Show me some- thing simple—black or white—noth- ing Oriental." "But, madame—" Celeste was the picture of grief-stricken amazement. Barbara cut her short. "You heard what I said—some- thing simple in black or white. If you haven't got anything I can go elsewhere." "I suppose I'm mad—utterly mad NOW GO ON WITH' THE STORY Then she laughed at her self. There was nothing in the world to prevent Barbara from going off at any moment if she so wished. She was free, and she had plenty of'nion- ey, but there w -as nobody with'whom 'she wished to take such a journey. But if she had been married to Dennis O'Hara—she brushed that thought quickly aside, and went hur- riedly to her bath. Jerry Barnet rang up while she was dressing. "Should have rung be- fore," he exclaimed, "only I thought you'd be asleep. Tired myself this morning. Awful!" "I'm as fresh as a daisy," Barbara told him cuttingly. "And I will have to tell you it's all off for Wednes- day." " "Oh, I say!". "Yes; I've got some people com- ing up from the country," Barbara explained coolly. "And I've got to show them around. Awful bore!" "Who are they? Didn't know you had any country relations." "I haven't. It's Pauline and Dennis O'Hara. They're tired of rusticating and want a change." "Well, you'll want what about me?" Barbara hesitated, then she laugh- ed. "Oh, very well. You'll like Paul- ine, she pretty and—innocent." 'That's . another wordfor stupid.". "You think so.? Well, you must judge for yourself. They're going to stay at the Albion -deadly respect- able, espectable, isn't it? I thought a little sup- per after a show on Wednesday ev- ening. Reserve a table somewhere, will you?" "All right." a fourth, .so "It's very kind of you to have met us," saki Dennis, looking at Barbara, "Not at all. Geta porter, Jerry. I don't call this much luggage, my child," she told Pauline when it was collected. They got into the car -Dennis in fr•Qnt with Jerry, and the two girls behind. "We've got ticketsfor a show to- night," Barbara said; "and we've booked a table for supper afterward," "Oh, but Dennis ought to rest," Pauline broke out ;agitatedly, "Nonsense," There was a sharp note in her husband's voice: "It's not nearly so tiring sitting in a train as trying to drag. myself about the house." Pauline's face quivered. "Of course if you're not tired—" she faltered. They reached the hotel. "We'll call for you at half -past seven," Barbara said. "No, we won't come in now—you'll want to .unpack. So glad you've come." She blew Pauline a kiss and leaned back . with a sigh. "Take me hone, Jerry. I feel exhausted." "You go and dress : and come back for rue, and don't be late," said Bar- bara at her `door. He was amazed, when on arriving again at the flat he found her dress- ed and waiting. "Great Scott!" he whistled looking her over from head to foot. Barbara laughed. "Do you like me? No lip- stick - no earrings — no nothing you've always been used to." He drew a quick breath: "Jove it's not you! But all the same—you're divine." She swept him a mock courtesy, her eyes bright with excitement. Jerry took her hand and, bending kissed it. "I'm almost afraid of you, and yet —" Suddenly he caught her to him.' "Barbara—darling-" She wrenched herself free from his passionate arms. "Let me go—beast! Beast!" Jerry Barnet was crimson with an- ger. "Anyone would think you'd never been kissed' before—what the deuce is the matter? Other times you've never objected. Oh, I say, chuck it, Barbara!" for she had begun to sob, tearlessly, but with infinite pathos. He had never seen her give way to emotion before, and he was angry and distressed. It was almost as if with her new mode of dressing she had changed her nature too. "Chuck it!" he said again, with a choke in his voice. "I didn't know: I'm aw- fully sorry. It's not as if I've nev- er kissed you before, or any other: man." "I know!" she struggled in vain for composure. "I know—I'm cheap —second hand!" She laughed valiant- ly. "Don't take any notice. Get me a drink." erry brought her the drink. His hand shook a little, and his eyes were ashamed, though he could not have explained why. "Sorry!" he said hoarsely. "Beastly sorry! I'd rather have died .than up- set you. Awful!" "Idiot!" She forced a smile, and drained the glass he gave her. "For- get it. It's too many late nights— my nerves are upset. I'll have to put some colour ,:on after all, I look a sight." She kept him waiting ten minutes, and he avoided looking at her as they left the flat together. He was a bungler, but somewhere at the back of his slow mind he realized that he had hurt her intolerably, misunder- stood her. In the car he said: "Would you rather not go? I'll explain to O'Hara.,, "My God!" Barbara said violently, "What do you take me for? If you ever breathe a word I'll never speak to you again." They drove to the Albion in Sil- ence. "You wait. I'll fetch them," Bar- bara said. She was out., of the car. before he could stop her. In the lounge she met Dennis. (Continued Next Week) "Oh, I've had it some time!" Bar- bara said' carelessly, but she flushed and wondered what he would say if she told him it was all new and ex- pressly bought for Dennis O'Hara. She had not slept a wink all night; she ° had lainawake like an excited girl waiting for the man she loved. "So absurd!" she scolded herself. "After all the experience •I've had of men. Of course, it won't last—it's just another of my 'fancies." She tried to believe in 'her own words, but it was difficult. She had loved. Dennis for so long—more than a year—and a year was a great time to Barbara. And now Dennis was coming to New York: In another moment, she would see him and read the usual almost angry disapproval in his eyes. " She gave a little stifled. laugh; and Jerry looked down at her: "What's the joke? Let's share it!" "I am wondering how you will like my friends." "Oh, all right, I expect! 'Storm - she told herself as she drove away. away likes O'Hara .I told you. "Yes—did he say anything about Pauline?" "Only that she was young — just a kid." "Yes." Barbara's heart contracted. She was so much older than Pauline,. in experience if not in actual years. She wondered if she would have stood 'a better chance with Dennis if she had met him sooner -before her marriage,• before she had cultivated this hard, cynical attitude toward life, to hide front the world her bitter not love her and, even if he did, how hurt and disillusionment. She had "But it's nice to be different some- times -it's as good as a holiday," and she again thought of Dennis. If they could have spent a holiday together! For a moment she let her imagination have full play. She and Dennis down by the sea, walking hand in hand along golden sands with the fresh breeze blowing in their fac- es. They would be young together, with everything else in the world for- gotten. She wrenched her wandering thoughts back to sanity. Dennis did — Suddenly Jerry caught her to hiss. "Barbara darling —" soon would they, grow weary of each other? No, no, it was far better as it was. Pauline was thewife for him. Pauline was the kind of woman to make a home for such a man as Den- nis. And, yet it was by his choice that they were coming to town: Why had he done it? Barbara told. herself, she did not know, could not guess, and yet—deep down in her heart there was a little 'fluttering hope that it was because he wanted to see her. "You're a fool!" shetold herself pityingly again and again, and could only remember that it is better far to be a fool in Paradise than to be wise and have no Paradise at all. Barbara made Jerry Barnet go with her to meet the O'Haras. It was a pouring wet evening, and New York looked at its worst. Babara slipped a hand through Jerry's arm as they walked tip and down the platform. "You look 'very, young to -night, he said. He pressed her hand close to his side, "I like you in that get- up: New, isn't it?" done it so well that everybody ac- cepted it now as her real self -all ex- cept Pauline, that is -simple little Pauline who loved her and believed in her in spite of what other people said. "Here comes the train,"' Jerry broke in upon her thoughts, and she drew her hand from his arm and hur- ried forward. Pauline was at the, window, smiling and eager. Barbara saw Dennis lay a hand on her shoul- edr . and heard him say: "Wait till the train stops; there is plenty of time."` Then it stopped, and Pauline open- ed the door and almost fell into her friend's unresponsive arms. "How lovely to see you again. It seems years. We've brought an aw- ful lot of luggage. I don't believe it will all go on one taxi!" "I :made Jerry bring his car," Bar- bara said coolly, though her pulses were racing. She introduced then. "Mr. Barnet—Mrs. 'O'Hara, Mr. O'- Hara." Dennis and Jerry shook hands.

IN CANADA A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE. INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA MOTHERS AND BABIES Nature is wonderful. Instincts are strong forces. Man has progressed because he has used his power of reasoning to learn the secrets of na- ture, and to guide the expression of his instinct into ways that are ac- ceptable to our present civilization. In days gone by, it was thought that when a woman was going to have a baby, nature, through the wo- man's instincts, would give her all the information required with regard.. to the propercare of herself and her baby. Today, most people realize that this is not so; nevertheless, com- paratively few mothers secure the advice they need early in pregnancy. The result is that much illness and suffering occur which could be pre- vented. The vast majority _ of babiesare grandmother that's died since you've born in a perfectly normal and safe been here." Boy: "Yes, sir; I know, sir; but I can't help it, _ grandfather will; keep on marrying again." The train was moving quickly out of the station as the little man dash- ed up the platform. From the last carriage window a woman waved a handkerchief frantically. The little . man was about to open the door when a porter pulled him back. "You can't enter the train when it's moving," said the porter fir•mwly. "Besides,' that compartment. was engaged." The little man danced with rage.. "Of course it's engaged, you fool. It's engaged for my wife and me,, and now she's away alone on her honeylmoon." and the bones of the new baby de- mand •mineral salts for their proper formation. Early in pregnancy, the expectant mother should have her teeth exam- ined and treated Sound teeth and a. clean mouth contribute to good di- gestion which is _a matter of great importance. An, infected mouth is a menace to the mother. The belief that babies are marked as a result of some disagreeable oc- currence is not founded on fact. The expectant mother should follow the: advice of her doctor and ignore the advice of relatives and friends, who may mean well but who are usually uninformed. Worries should be dis- cussed with the doctor, who can give the mother information that will dis- pel her fears and anxieties..

Supervision should begin very ear- ly in pregnancy. If there be any ab- normal condition present, it will be revealed by the examinations made, and whatever treatment - is required can be given promptly. The illnesses which developduring pregnancy usually come on gradually. The earliest signs or symptoms' of these undesirable . conditions are de- tected early if the woman is under regular supervision. The early de- tection of these conditionsmay mean the saving of the woman's life, or the prevention of years of invalidism and suffering. During pregnancy, a balanced dict is important, both for the mother and for the baby. Over -indulgences are to be avoided. Milk, green vegetables and fruits should be regularly used as these provide the minerals and vit- amins which are required in greater abundance at this time.
