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 0 t e t with a great "My dear mad? There once bitten sometimes I "Barbara!" "There are effort she laughed. man, are you raving is no man that I love— you know. Perhaps have imagined—" He caught her hand. at least a dozen people watching us with the keenest inter- est," she said in a voice of flint. He released her at once. "Very well. I beg your pardon." "Not at all. My cigarette has gone out," .-;-:fat was he thinking about, she wondered. 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!

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.
