THE WIN GHAM ADVANCE -TIMES
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
the smother 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
-
teases 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.
Mush 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. Upon their arrival a round
of gay entertainment gets ,,,under way
—throwing Dennis and Pauline much
into each other's company.
NOW GOON WITH THE STORY
"Ready?" she asked. He did not
answer at once, and she knew he was
looking at her frock mising her bi-
zarre 'earrings, her usual flamboyan-
cy. "Pauline will be down in a mo-
ment," he said.
Barbara moved to the fire, and he
followed. "It's cold," she said. She
looked up at him."I hope you won't
be very bored," she submitted with
an effort. "1 know you hate New
York."
He said nothing, and she went on,
feeling that anything was better than
silence. "It's good of you to come.
It's for Pauline's sake, I suppose?"
But she knew full well it was not.
O'Hara laughed. "I supose i
ought to say yes, but I've rather a
preference for the truth. No, it's not
for Pauline's sake.
"For whose, then?"
"For my own."
"I see. You thought New York
would be a pleasant change after six
months' turban domesticity."
"Nol". O'Hara met her eyes stead-
ily. "Have you ever been told that
if a song or a tune haunts you the
best way is to get hold of it and hear
it right through and that then you
will be able to forget it?"
She shook her head. "No, I doh't
know what you mean,''
"I mean that ever since you went
away a fortnight ago the thought of
you has haunted me against my will.
I've hated it, tried to get rid, of it.
I can't, so 1 carne to town to see you
—" He broke off - abrupty.
Barbara's eyes were like stars.
"You mean ---so that you ' will be
able to forget me."
He made no reply, and she laughed
with soft triumph.
"You won't be able to," she whisp-
ered. "I won't let you!"
* 5*
In the theatre Barbara told herself.
that she had behaved like a fool.
Dennis was sitting next to her.
"I hope you'll like the show," she
said casually. "It's the latest suc-
cess; the usual three -cornered love
affair, you know."
Pauline laughed. "How exciting.
I love a play like that, It's two men
and a woman, I supppose?"
"No, the other way about. Two
women and a man. But this is a bit
different from the usual story. The
man goes back to his wife in the end
like < a good little husband."
"How nice," Pauline said happily.
Barbara smiled.
The curtain went up, and she lean-
ed back and closed her eyes. She
had seen the play before, and it was
with deliberate intent that she had
chosen to see it again to -night.
She did not listen to :a word that
was said on the stage, she could on-
ly hear the words that Dennis O'-
Hara had spoken to her a little while
ago in the hotel lounge.
"I came to town to see you."
She opened her eyes with a sigh.
He was sitting very still, quietly at-
tentive, his broad shoulders rather
"Most of the 'men have gone t
the bar," Barbara said, "Why don'
you join them?"
"I'm not thirsty, thanks,"
"Do you like the play?"
"So far it seems quite possible,'
Dennis answered.
There was a little silence, then h
asked deliberately:
"What do you meati?"
He met: her eyes steadily. "I won
dered if you intended it for an objec
lesson for me."
"I don't understand."
Dennis O'Hara frowned. He drop
ped his half -smoked cigarette to the
floor and trod it out.
"Six weeks ago when I smashed
you up," he said bluntly, "I made a
very interesting discovery."
"Really!"
"Yes. I' discovered the mane of the
man you love."
Barbara went white. For a mom-
ent she lost her self-possession; then

watching us with the keenest inter-

released her at once.
"Very well. I beg your pardon."

hunched and his profile a little stern.
What was he thinking about, she
wondered? Was he hating her very
much—or loving her very much? The
curtain swung down on the first act,
and the lights went up. Dennis rose
to his feet.
"They don't give you much leg-
room," he complained.
"Why not go outside and have a
smoke?" she suggested. "Most of the
men are going."
She leaned across to Barbara. "You
go too," she urged. "Mr. Barnet will
stay with .me, won't you?" She ap-
pealed to Jerry.
"Of course—delighted," but Jerry
was not very enthusiastic.
"I don't care about smoking just,
now, thanks," Barbara said lazily.
She felt angry with , Pauline.
"We may as well get some air,"
Dennis said canly. He took up Bar-
bara's cloak, which had slipped from
her shoulders.
"Oh, very well," she agreed,' and
rose. After all it would seem pointed
to refuse.
They went out into the foyer, and
Dennis gave her a cigarette and
lighted it.
He struck a match ' and relighted
it for her.
"It gives me no pleasure at all to
be made a fool," he said savagely.
"I am not like other men you have
known. I' don't believe in—this kind
of thing."
She was once more complete mis-
tress of herself. "What kind of
thing?" she asked coolly.
"The 'kind of thing that has hap-
pened to you and me," he answered.
"I know I'm just an ordinary sort
of fellow." He was stammerinnga
little. "I hate intrigue and -and this
hole -in -the -corner kind of game. It's
no use to me or or to any decent
man. I dare say it amuses you to
have brought me to New York."
"You're quite mad," Barbara said
calmly, though her pulses were rac-
ing. "You came to town entirely to
please yourself or Pauline."
"I came to see you,"
His eyes held hers angrily. "You
told me an hour ago that I should
never forget you -'that you would not
allow me to forget you."
"I think the curtain is going up,"
Barbara said.
"Very well—if you don't choose to
be honest with me....
"Honest!"
"Yes, honest enough to admit that
you love me as much as I love you..
I know I aught to be shot!
"'That is a sentiment with which I
entirely agree," Barbarfa said. "And
if you don't mind, " I : would rather
see the , second act of the play than
listen to the utter nonsense you are
talking."
They went back to their seats and
were eagerly greeted by Pauline. "I
thought you would be late."
After the second act the two men
went out together,
"I knew they wanted a drink,"
Pauline said. She moved into Den-
nis's seat beside Barbara. "I don't
believe in tying a man to one's ap-
ron strings, do you? I always let
Dennis do just what he likes and go
where he likes."
"T' like Mr. Barnet," she said after
a moment. "Are you going to marry
him, Barbie?"
"My dear child, he is married al-
ready."
"I know, but you said -well, I sup-
pose he can divorce her."
"I think she woud find it easier
to divorce him."
Pauline's eyes clouded. "And he
seems so nice!" she said.
Barbara moved restlessly. "It
'doesn't make him any less nice be-
cause he doesn't care for his wife,
does it?" she asked a trifle impat-
iently.
Pauline sat silent, her eyes down -
cast. "If Dennis ever loves anyone/
but me I shall die," she said extrava-
gantly. "I was only thinking just
now, when that woman in the play
took the man away from his wife
supposing it was Dennis—and me?"
"You may cheer up. In ' the play
he goes back to her, so it's all quite
satisfactory."
Pauline shook her head. "It could-
n't be. Once he stopped loving his
wife and cared for someone else. He
would always be thinking of the oth-
er woman—and wanting her."
A sudden wave of pity swept Bar-
bara's heart. She laid a hand on
Pauline's arm.
"It's only a play," she said. "Don't
look so tragic."
"But it's so real," Pauline said
wistfully.
Afterward, when they were leaving
the heatre, she caught her husband's
arm. "Did you like it?" she asked.
He glanced, down at her with pre-
occupied eyes. "Well enough. Did
you."
"I though it was dreadfully sad."
"Sad! With the stereotyped happy
ending?"
"I don't call that a happy 'ending.
I am sure he really loved the other
woman best all the time."
Dennis laughed.. "Don't take it so
seriously. It's only a play."
They went on to a night club for
supper.
It was hot and crowded and gar-
ishly lighted and furnished with many
gilt chairs and tables: Pauline had
never been to such a. place in her life.
She kept close to her husband and
talked almost in a whisper.
"Isn't it lovely? I've never seen
anything so lovely. Look at the
masses of flowers, and all the beauti-
fn girls."
"They won't look very beautiful at
nine o'clock to -morrow morning
without their make-up," Dennis said
ruthlessly.
Barnet had booked a table near the
centre of the floor, Both he and Bar-
bara seemed well known to the man-
ager' and waiters.
The leading violinist in the orches-
tra bowed and smiled across the.
room to them.
Pauline felt very important. She
looked at Dennis. There was no man
in the room so distinguished looking
as he, she thought proudly, and a
sense of humble gratitude filled her
heart.
"I suppose you won't be abe to
dance;" Barbara was saying to him
casually. "I suppose your leg isn't
really fit enough."
Pauline broke in eagerly. "Oh, but
it is, and Dr. Stornaway said it would
do him good to exercise it. Dennis
is 'a lovely dancer! You must waltz

SLEEP
When you can't sleep, it's because your nerves won't let
you. You need not spend a sleepless night if there's any
Aspirin on hand! Take two tablets, drink a little hot
water—and go to sleep. It works like magic. This relieves
your nerves of any little nagging pain or discomfort
that keeps you wide awake, and Nature does the rest.
Any day you have a headache, you take Aspirin and get
immediate relief. Remember its comfort at night, when
you can't get to sleep.

"I 'dare say your idea of a perfect

hadn't you better sit down, my dear?
You're in the, way there."

A BAD GAP
There are some gaps which can be
crossed if we are willing to take the
time and if we have the strength to
struggle down one side and up the
other. Other gaps must be bridged
if they are to be crossed. The engin-
eering skill which has made possible
the bridging of such chasms as exist
'n the Rocky. Mountains is one of
the marvels of our age.
There are other kinds of gaps that
are serious impediments to lifers pro-
gress. One such gap is the one that
exsits between knowledge and .prac-
tice in disease prevention. On the
one side is knowledge; on the other,
disease and ignorance. The gap must
be bridged if disease is to be over-
come by knowledge.
Too often it is presumed that
knowledge is, in itself, sufficient, but
such is not the case. Knowledge is
power in that it makes effective prac-
tice possible, but it is the application
of knowledge which secures results.
Water power has always existed at,
Niagara Falls, but it was not until
recent years that this power has been.
made use of. Now it is being devel-
oped and, converted int) electric en-
ergy, it puts machinery in motion
and produces light; it secures results
because it is being made use of.
In the field of disease prevention,
the greatest and most urgent prob-
lem is to put to use the knowledge
vs-h,ch is available. We know that ty.
'shoal fever can be r_ontrolled thru
tut s•tfeeteii ding of .- wits - and food
sul pljc,. out this know.elge'does not
cause t3•pi oid fever to disappear. Ty-
phoid fever becomes ;i rare disease
in those communities where this
knowledge is applied so as to secure-
for the citizens a pure and safe wat-
er
supply, and where the food is safe-
guarded.
The only reason why diphtheria:
continues to menace children is be-
cause
ecause full use is not being made of•"
the knowedge which is available con-
cerning the prevention of this dis-
ease. We know how to prevent diph-
theria by a simple, safe procedure—
diphtheria immunization. A number
of communities have succeeded in
banishing diphtheria by making use
of this means; others have made no
effort in this connection, and so diph-
theria continues its ravages.
All this is true for the individual:
just as it is for the community. Your.
will only secure protection from dis-
ease and keep yourself in a healthy
condition to the extent that you ap-
ply the knowledge which you have
concerning these matters. Increase
your knowledge by all means; but,.
above all, make use of what know-
ledge you have.
Questions concerning Health, . ad-
dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College St., Toronto,.
will be answered personally by Ietter.
