SYNOPSIS Pauline; sentimental, trustful, ,sin- cere and loving have, becomes engag- ed and marries Dennis O'Hara in the belief that their blissful happiness will continued unchanged thru all the years.

A fortnight after Barbara retur to New York, she receives a lette from Pauline ` that she and Denni are' coming to New York for a littl vacation. Upon their arrival:a roue of gay entertainment gets under w =throwing Dennis and Pauline muc into each other's company. Dennis is in love with Barbara.

Jerry, married -man' friend of Barbara's, finds Dennis at Barbara's flat—and goes into a jealous rage.. ri- nd es As ns es. he ay n- u 1- ans er 1. a s ns s e d ay h r e s h NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY But in the morning she laughed at her fears, for there was a letter from Dennis, in which for the first time he said that he missed her—and only God knew what an effort it had cost him to write those words—and ask- ing how much longer she meant to be a deserter. "Dreams don't mean anything," Pauline told herself happily. "It must have been because we had cu- cumber with salmon for dinner." She spent a happy day. The doc- tor said her mother was better, and there was a wire from her father to say lie was returning, and Pauline wrote a long letter to Dennis. "It will be too wonderful, won't it?" she wrote with trembling eagerness, "I think I love you better than ever 1 did—if it's at all possible, darling, I often wonder how I managed ever to be happy before you married me, and if anything happened that we were separated, Dennis, I should die," O'Hara's face twitched as he read her loving words, and for a moment he looked away from what he was reading, wondering why it was he could not rid himself of the feeling. that this letter was alot really writ- I When she came hesaw that she ten to him at all, I. was ready, dressed and wearing a' lie had seen Barbara every day, Igown he had once admired, Hewent but she had never again allowed him to go to her flat, and that morning, looking at himself in the glass while he shaved, it seemed to ' Dennis that he bad aged years in these few days. Pauline's letter had •come by the evening post, and Dennis was dress- ed to go out—he was taking dinner with Barbara and Stornaway. Barbara had refused to come alone: "Bring Dr. Stornaway," she had said. "Are you ever coming alone with. me again?" Dennis had asked, but she had not replied. He stood staring down into the fire, smoking cigarette after cigarette end trying to see beyond the immed- iate present. Was there to be any beyond? Barbara would not tell' hint, and he himself could not find the an- swer. When Pauline came back perhaps they would find it, or she would find. it for thein. The telephone rang. Was it Barbara, to say she could not dine with him? ` His heart almost seemed to stop beating as he waited, and then he caught his breath in a great sigh of relief as he knew it was not she. It was Stornaway. quickly to her and took her hands. "What is it, my dear?" She smiled. "Did Mellish tell you? Bless her heart! She knows there i$ nobody else I should ever tell' my troubles to, Dennis." Shebent and dropped a kisson his coat sleeve. "Mix some cocktails, please, and I'll tell you." She sat down by the .fire and watched him; :'then' suddenly she spoke. "I had an unexpected visitor to- day, Dennis." • ' "Ohl" He was not greatly inter- ested. "Who was it?" "My husband." The . fragile stem of the glass he was holding snapped suddenly be- tween Dennis 'O'Hara's fingers. He. had forgotten that Barbara had 'a husband living. "I thought you never saw him," he said with an effort. "I haven't for years. ,He carne this afternoon. • I had no idea he was in New York." ,There was a little silence. "What. did he want?" Dennis asked sharply:' She lifted her beautiful eyes. 0 •f.c O'Hara's face twitched as he read her loving words.... He could not rid himself of the feeling that this letter was really written to him. "That you, O'Hara? I say, I'm awfully sorry, but I can't come along to -night, after all. I've been sentkit to go home. Old Thompson is ill Hope it's not leaving :you • in the cart. . "No, not at all—I've notbooked anything. I'm sorry, though." 1 "Liar!" he told himself cheerily as he rang off and went to get his ov- ercoat. Dinner alone with Barbara - he felt like a happy schoolboy as he went downstairs ;:andout into the street. A whole evening alone with. herl Would she come now that Stor- naway would not be there? Well, he would not tell her until she asked. It seemed a long time before his. knock on Barbara's door was answer- ed, and then it was Mrs. Mellish who admitted him. , She said, "Good -evening, sir," in her quiet voice and led' the way into the sitting room. "Mrs. Stark will not keep you long, sir." She hesitated, looking at him with those quiet eYes that saw so much and betrayed so little. "Mrs. Stark has been a little up- set," she added. "Upset?" "I expect Mrs. Stark will explain to you, 'sir." She went away, leaving Dennis to wait impatiently; "He asked inc to go back to him." Dennis stood very still for a mo- ment; then he turned mechanically again to his jpb. "You like French Vermouth?" he said. "Please." Then she laughed, a wild little laugh that'sounded infin- itely sad.'"Make it strong, Dennis, so strong that I shan't care what hap- pens. or what becomes of me." th She flung out her hands with a ag pathetic gesture of emptiness, but . Dennis took no notice. He finished yo his mixing and brought a glass to her. As she took it he asked, "And ed. what did you say?" at at her, hand. •"I've never seen him Since -:well, sinoe then, until today, T -le wasgen- erous -- I've always had plenty of money, And now he wants me to go. back to him." Her eyes never left his face, '"He says he has never car- ed for any woman but rue, Dennis.' "And you told him you would think about it -.- about going back to him?" "Yes," "Did be give you a time limit?" Dentis was white to the lips. She shodk her head. "No=I pro- mised to write to him." She stood up suddenly beside him, tall and beautiful and so utterly de- sirable, that for a moment Dennis O'Hara closed his eyes. Then she said, "What's the use of hoping for anything—for us, 1 mean? You know it's no use; you know you can't do- what you think you can," "You mean—tell Pauline?" "Yes." He clenched his hands into fists, "Barbara—there' must be some oth- er way." "Yes." She smiled tremulously. "You might come here secretly—as my lover — and we should be happy for the little time we could be to- gether and unhappy for the great while we had to be apart. And ;ome day it would be found out, and then "I should only mind for your sake." She shook her head sadly. "It wouldn't • hurt me—it wouldn't be anything worse than the things people say about nee already. But you, Dennis — it would break ,your heart," "Am I such a weakling?" "No, if you were it would not mat- ter." He paced up and down the room restlessly. "If I were an honest man; I should go tb Pauline and tell her the truth. It would not hurt her as much, as it will if some day she finds out that I love you and that I think of yo every ,moment and want you--" "It's because you are an honest man that you can't tell her," Bar- bara said, and then, s he did not an swer, she took up her cloak and hel it to .him. u Thursday, February 16, 1933'; EIJRA[GIA; The agonizing 'aches from neuralgia can be quieted in the same way you would end a headache.

IN CANADA and Barbara shivered and drew clos- er to Dennis. "He pretended not to see us," she whispered. "I think he is a little jealous of you." (Continued Next Week.) d A HEALTH SERVICEOF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES .. IN CANADA "Let us go, Dennis—Dr. Stoma way will be waiting," He took the cloak from her, but as he laid it over her shoulders, he suddenly enfolded her with his arms, pressing her head back against his breast. "Barbara—kiss me--" He lips moved to say no, but Den- (nis silenced the word with his own, and so for a long time they stood while Barbara gave herself up wholly to the intoxication of the moment. "Just this once—for the last time," she 'told herself. "Just this once- for the very last time." And when at last he released her she was' white and shaken and could not meet his eyes, though he tried to laugh. "Nobody has ever kissed iire like that, Dennis," she said faintly. "Arid was it — happiness?" he. asked. "It was—heaven," she whispered. He told her about Stornaway as the drove away together, her cheek ain his shoulder, her hand in his. `I didn't tell yo ubefore. I thought u would refuse to come." `I ought to refuse now," she sigh - She raised her head and looked him. "Dennis, this isn't really me all. I used to be so unhappy— now, I feel young and warm and hout a care in the world." But nnis O'Hara's eyes were sad as .looked away from her, and the rds of Pauline's letter came back him like a sad reproach—"If any - g happened that we were separ , I should die." * * * They Spent a happy evening; "We'll forget everything but that we are together," Barbara said, So they dined and danced and.talked of things that were farthest from their hearts. It was as they were leaving that they came face to face'with Jer- ry Barnet: • He had obviously been. drinking, "I told him .I would think about it." There was a long silence. "You 'know he divorced . me," she said. 'pre- sently. Dennis did not answer. Her face whitened, and she said almost in a whisper: "It wasn't true,. Dennis, not —• not what you think. But I' was as tired` of him as he' was of me, so° I let him think ---what he liked, I swear it's the truth." "There is no need; I always believe you." "Foolish Dennis!" But there were tears in her eyes—so often now there seemed to be tears in her eyes. "Well -- go on," Dennis said after a moment. She sighed and leaned, her chin in an d wit De he wo to thin ated ARTIFICIAL SUNLIGHT Nowadays, many things which are found'in nature are also produced ar- tificially. The term "artificial" no longer suggests an inferior substitute, for indeed something that is artificial may have certain advantages, such as being more accessible and more uni- form in quality than the natural pro- duct. From the earliest ages, man has appreciated the warmth and growth - giving Bower of the sun. Man, along with. plants and animals, has turned his face to the sun. Sun -baths are not a modern invention; they were used many centuries ago. The Greeks included solaria in their homes, and built ;places by the sea where they exposed their naked bodies to the sun. Sunlight isnot, as we know, avail- able on cloudy and rainy, days. More- over, .sunlight 'varies in itsduration and intensity with the time of day and the season of the year. In order that sunlight may be constantly av- ailable, irrespective of clouds, time or season, special lamps have been devised to produce artificial sunlight and other forms of light. Sunlight, whether natural or arti- ficial, has certain effects ,upon the body. We know, from personal.ex- perience ,that sunlight burns and •tans the skin. We also know that to ex- pose our bodies to the sun and air, provided the exposure is properly. regulated, gives us a sense of health and energy, Studies mad of the effects of light. on the human body have shown that it is of great value in the prevention of rickets, that it is most useful in the treatment of a limited number of diseases, that it is of questionable value in' others, and that it is actual - ly harmfal in certain conditions. Because light treatments have some value is no justification for the exag- gerated claims which have"been made nor' for the widespread• use of lampss regarding the extent of the power of which, the user is ignorant. There is no simple rule for apply- ing light in the treatment of disease. The area to be exposed, the source of light to be used, and, the ..dosage, together with the condition of the in- dividual.;and his reaction to exposure,. all are all points which must be con- sidered if the dangers arising out of the abuse of light' are to be avoided. A real danger lies,in self -treatment with light. I1 treatment is required, the use of light needs to be as care- fully prescribed and supervised as - does any other form- of treatment. Light is not a cure-all.' •In some con- ditions, when properly used, it- is a. valuable aid in treatment; in others,: as we have said,'it may be definitely harmful.
