Next thing she remembered was two years later when she woke one morning in California,, with a wedding ring on hand, and a pleasant young man, ad- dressing her as Frills, telling her to be careful after her, fall from her horse of the day before. Her hus- band was Neil Packard, rich fruit packer. Confused and troubled, she tried to find out more about herself and from letters in her desk found that she had been a heartless, frivol- ous young woman and had become involved in a serious .affair with a man : named Maitland. Later, when he came to see her, he was hurt and surprised when she tried to repulse. him, but he finally left her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Before the stranger reached ,her she had time to see that he was a thin, unimpressive type with reddish face and tiny sandy mustache, neatly clipped. His features were small and his blue eyes twinkled. His plain gray business suit, wlich lacked all trace of style, was in need of press- ing and his wide commonsense shoes were dusty and scratched. "Well, Frills, how's the beautiful bean feeling today? Golly you women are lucky, the way you can get thrown around and not get hurt- Now a pian, who has to use his head, would have been just the fellow to get a crack that would put him out of business completely," you ever taken my advice, • yotmg He stared at her with such a and - den keen searching look in his blue eyes that Joyce blushed deeper than ever, "Advice comes natural to a doctor, Frills," he went on. "If you are go- ing to take advice, I wish you'd take some I've given you long ago. ,Quit this excessive 'smoking! Look at the way you fidget" "But I haven't smoked since day before yesterday," retorted. Joyce tri- umphantly, "so it can't be that." "It can't?. Whew! No wonder you are nervous! Dont'. you know you can't cut it out all at once? :Not, a girl with your highly strung nervous system, who's been smoking at the terrific rate you have! Use a little commonsense. Here take this. If you want to out out smoking, do it grad- ually." He handed her a cigarette with a decisive gesture which made refusal impossible. • Joyce took it, her hand shaking. But before she had even raised it to her mouth, they were interrupted by the arrival of Roxie. "Dr. Elison, the Gates Hospital wants to speak to you sir." The doctor jumped to his feet. "Thanks, Roxie, just tell them I'll be right there. Good-bye, • Frills, 1,11 drop in again later," and he was off without a backward glance. Joyce drew a breath of relief. "An- other one killed off! That message. was sheer luck. I couldn't have light- ed this cigarette with him looking on, she murmured. 'Packard was irrimacuilately well dress- ed and well groomed, 'If she afffl;ected Frills one-half as unpleasantly as she does rne,";thought Joyce, "she wouldn't be on' speaking terms with me now, or ielse` at least Frills would have put the fear` of God into her," "You escaped a very serious'injury, went on the visitor. "Have you had Dr. Ellison make 'a thorough exam- ination?" "No, I haven't," replied Joyce: Her welcoming smile faded oat, and sit- ting down again, she; puffed at her cigarette, waiting in defensive silence. If this was Laurine, deliver her from any more in-laws! ' "Well, I should ,certainly think he would have done it , , , I do wish ydu would consluthini. I feel certain he would think a thorough infernal ex- amination the -only safe thing to do after such an accident as yours. . A stitch in time saves Joyce:wanted to ad'd, "And an a - p ple a day keeps the doctor away,", but she kept quiet, wondering how Much longer: Laurine would stick to this particular subject. Laurine changed the subject. "Del- plune sent her love to you and hopes you're feeling recovered from the .ac- cident, and Paul said to tell you he'd probably -run in sometime today. He'e having lunch , at the club with Otis Clark ,and a business friends from the city, and, they're going to play golf all afternoon, with Art Belmain to make up a foursome." It was nearly an hour later when Mrs. Paul Packard • rose from the marble bench. • She had touched on a multitude of subjects, ranging from the newest cold cream and its 'won- derful effects, to the details of the recent confinement of: a Mrs. Well- man. The effect of this call on Joyce was a wearily annoyed feeling that she had suffered more than the net results in the way of enlightening facts were worth. "By the way, Delphine told me she saw Arthur Maitland one night hav- ing dinner at the Palace with what she called a 'jazz baby' in a vermilion evening dress: And I heard from someone else, though I won't repeat the name because if there's one thing I pride myself on it's not spreading scandal or gossip—but it's a woman who spends a lot of her time in the; city, and you know her almost as well as I do,—that Maitland has two separate `,apartments in the city, not ust the one where the men have their stag parties. I think you ought to know those things because you're so careless about appearances and it's a crying shame the way you run around with a man like Arthur Maitland." In the midst ofthe resentful fury that seized Joyce at the nerve of the woman' for mixing into her private affairs she could not help. feeling ad- miration for Laurine's courage, She had thought of Frills as, a dynamic being who would not for. a moment have tolerated the rebuke or advice of midle-aged conventionalities. She herself was speechless, unprepared, and no match for Laurine's methods of attack. It occurred to her, how- ever, that this information of the se- cond apartment might be used later in, her handling of Maitland, and she could not help • being a little grateful to Laurine for furnishing her with any weapon. Laurine, not waiting for the scar- let -faced Joyce to reply, went on calmly, "When your'e a little older, my dear, and have had as much ex- perience as I have of the world, you will realize it's foolish to put any trust in a man who is so lacking in Maitland has two separate apartments in the city, not just the one where the men have their stag parties. Joyce smiled up at him easily. This man was not in love with them, she knew instinctively. He was friendly enough, but impersonal. "Oh, is that so?" she retorted. "Well, •the Lord must have thought women's brains more important than men's, if he protected them so much better." 'Ha! Well, I haven't time for any arguments on the equality of the sex- es now, just dropped in to see what you looked like so I can send Neil a wire that everything is 0. IS" Of course! This was the doctor! "Well, ;I'm all right," she replied,. and then it occurred to her that she had better not be too well if she wish- ed to stave off the hordes of friends who were tryingto" drawher back into their activities. "But it shook me up and I'm going: to cut out some of the jazz for this week anyhow . . You might te1l people it's '•byY our, orders." "Hal You don't expect d o an.bto anybody believe that you were obeying any orders of mine, do you? When have She successfully lighted the :cigar- ette and puffed at it daintily. After a few moments, however, her atten- tion was suddenly distracted ..by the approach of a woman. In her renew- ed agitation, Joyce swallowed a whole mouthful of smoke, which to' -her sur- prise she found herself expelling thru her nostrils and mouth without any, sensation of strangeness. Automati- cally her breathing apparatus was performing a familiar operatieonl Fortified to meet another, visitor,. she rose to her feet and smiled greet- ing at the newcomer. "Well, my dear Frills, what a •for- tunate child you are!" Her caller, who seated herself with- out, waiting for an invitation, was a woman about forty years old with a delicate skin still fine in texture. She had large pale blue eyes, a straight little nose, and a thin-lipped mouth whose corners drooped with a petu- lent, complaining expression. Her feet were shod in beautifullyfitting n g white kid walking slippers. From the top of her head to her feet, Mrs. Paul principle that he can deliberate compromise a married woman. Nin times. out of ten, he won't tie faithf to her, and when she's been made foal of she'll find that she was onl one of a ,number of other silly w nidi. Arthur Maitland is no diffe• ent from the rest. Well; I must ru along now, And do come over: sow nay dear, Paul and I are always gla to welcome you, and no matter wha happens, you must feel you have refuge is our simple hone, . " Joyce was left elope again, Alun ed into another whirl of emotion "I'm, getting so many new things think: about, so many angles all at once to this business of being Frills Packard. - It makes free dizzy trying to fit them :together, When', but Mrs, Paul Packard is a fearful and won- derful female, I'll bet all I have that she's. telling every one she knows about ArthurMait'land's other apart- ment. If it weren't that it helped me find out more about life here, I should have been bored to death by Laurine Thursday, April .20th, 1933 ty probably, with Marcia, been watching to the' game of stick out in the garden. u1 Just at joyce left the dining -room a she heard the whir of a motor aut- y side the door, and before she could o decide whether to retreat through the r- kitchen or make a dash for the stairs, n two young wonten. in the house n, and greeted her loudly, d "Hello, ;l�r.ills, how etre you?" "Say t you don't look so bad!" a (Continued Next Week) g- RATIONS FOR sto, WORK HORSES If a teamster is to get a profitable return from the work of his horses, anti to keep them in good condition for their work, care must be taken in preparing and feeding a suitable (ration, Many mixtures and rates of feeding have been tried and compare ed at the Dominion Experimental Farm, and it has been found that a grain mixture of five parts of whole oats and two parts bran, fed at the rate of one pound per one hundred cl poundsof live weight in the horse h is a safe grain ration for horses at • moderate wort,:. As 'fodder either o clean : timothy or mixed timothy and - clover should be fed, at a rate of a1 about one pound per one hundred pounds of Shue weight. During sea - e sons of heavy l work the; proportion g of bran relay safely be reduced to one e half, and. the_ ration, increased to one and one-quarter pounds of the ,ilii - e tore per one hundred pounds, of live t weight. The feeding : practice followed atm - the Central Experimental Faris to. feed three-eighths :of the day's grain mixture and one-quarter of the day's hay in the early morning.; and again at tnid 'day. For the evening meal the ration given is one-quarter of the total grain mixture and one-half of the day's hay:' When this plan is followed the horses go to work com- fortable and with little danger of ,di- gestive trouble owing to distended stomachs while at work. On days that the horses are idle the grain ra- tion : is reduced one-half, and bran mashes are given. on Saturday night, and; on nights pervious to occasional idle days: ' In the feeding of .driving horses: the same general precaution' may; be safely followed, with the' exception that the' hay shoud be fed more spar- ingly. In the •bulletin 'issued recently by the Department of Agriculture at Ot- tawa' the feeding, of roots is recom- mended when other green feed can- not be procured. While carrots are perhaps most desirable, sugar beets, turnips and mangels are relished . and useful. From three to:six pounds of roots ` per' day for horses at light work and less quantities,' or none at all, while heavy work is being per- formed is recommended in the bull- etin. Watering has been found to be best done before feeding, with,. if 'necessary, a moderate drink before going to work. Copious drinking, if the horse is over -heated' is a danger- ous. practice, liable to cause perman- ent erman en. t injury in foundering. She picked up the letters again an re -read the ,ones from, "Sophie" wit a growing longing to see the baby Fired by this feeling, she went int the 'house to hunt. for Sophie's aI. dress. ,.But there was iso Sophie i the little pigskin book. She had wenclered out ontd th sunny sleeping porch still ponderin Laurine's conversation, when . sh heard the rattle ,w of a machine Bich sounded like a Ford driving. into th grounds. She ran downstairs, en across- the terrace and around to the garage. Yes, there was Sam just get ting Clown from the machine,;and in his arms was a little black and white dog, "Here you are, Mrs. Packard the Marches were glad to get a home for. Dickie," and he set the wriggling bunch down: on the ground, and laughed as it strained at its.leash. "Oh, thank you, Sam, he's a darl- ing!" exclaimed Joyce, stooping to - pat the chunky little square heacl. Dickie wriggled` as Sam released him from the leash and ; 'responded amiably to her patting but after moment he looked about ekcitedly, dashing away from her a few feet, and barking sharply, then returning again. "What does hewant, do you suppose, Sam?" asked Joyce, Mystif- ied by his behavior: "He's looking for .a stick," explain- ed Sam, "That's what you want, isn't it, Dickie?" Sam picked up- a smooth round piece of wood, showed it to Dickie who 'jumped, frantically for it, and 1 then threw it as far as he could. Dickie dashed after it tumultuously. Then he came romping back to Sam, who commanded, "Go take it to Mrs. Packard, Dickie, that's your lady now. Go .on, ,give it to Mrs. Pack- ard." Dickie, his wide pink -lipped mouth clamped tightly over his precious stick, rolled his expressive brown eyes up at Sam in a speculative sort of way. • Then he turned and trotted over to Joyce. "There, that's enough stick for a while. You're all out of breath. Come with me, darling, and get acquainted with your new home," said Joyce fin- ally, "thank you, Sani, I'm ever so grateful to you for getting me such a perfectly sweet .dog • as' :Dickie." There was a look of puzzled- sur- prise in Sam's face as he answered, "Oh, that's all right. I'm sure glad you like him, Mrs. Packard." When Joyce sat down in a com- fortable lounge chair on the terrace, Dickie came' to her side and, resting his blunt chin with his queer, soft drooping lips on the edge of it, look- ed up at her pleadingly. She was de- lighted that he adopted her so quick- ly-, and her spirits rose when she thought of having his companionship. She felt less alone in an incredible world. With Dickie she need' never pretend. to be Frills Packard. When Roxie came to find her and announce that her luncheon was ready, Joyce was amused to see the distrust with which she eyed the sleeping Dickie. She did. not • look Surprised, and Joyce knew she had A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA MUTUAL AID Health, particularly mental health, is dependent upon reasonable secur- ity against uncontrollable events of life, such as sickness and death. Lack of economic security leads to worry, which, in turn, means at least unhap- piness and which is, in many cases,. the basis of serious physical and. mental disabilities. The campaign of the life insurance companies of Can- ada and the United States for ."Fin- ancial Independence through Life In- surance" has, therefore, .a health, as a There semis to be no safer way to end a headache—and there certainly is no safer way -than to •take two tablets of Aspirin. You've heard' doctors say that Aspirin is safe. Tf you've tried it, you know it's effective. You could take these tablets every day in the year without any ill effects. And every J time you take them, you get the , desired relief. Stick to Aspirin. It's safe. It gets results. Quick relief from headache% colds, or other discomfort. ASPIRIN Trademark Reg. well as a financial significance. The idea of mutual aid goes back:` many centuries, and we' find nitmer- aus' records in history of way in: which people have united to help each: 1 I other in time of need. It was real ized that there was greater strength and security in the group than in the individual. Our whole modern civilization of- fers many examples of this principle of mutual aid. We have any number of organizations which include, am- ong their objectives, the assistance of members or other individuals who are in need. This spirit of service may be said to be the driving -force in all worth -while organizations. At the present time, the need for mutual aid is more evident than ever. In the field of public liealth, we see that concerted action has secured a large measure of health protection' for those living in areas which have joined together for that purpose. -'In such areas, taxpayers agree to con- tribute. through their : taxes, to the maintenance of an adequate health department, and so, individualy and collectively, they secure health ser- vice through mutual aid. The maintenance of health depart- ments is. a form of insurance. Insur- ance is a form of mutual aid. A group agree to make certain fixed regular payments so that each'one of them, individually, may secure econ- omic protection in the event of " cer- tain happenings. Because of the un- certainty of accidents, .sickness and death, the only way in which most people can make provision against such .eventsis on the basis .of group action or mutual aid. Lack of security drives the work- er too hard in his effort to be pre- pared against such happenings. He worries •because he feels insecure as regards himself and his family, and, from his overwork and his , worry,. certain ills may spring. By sharing theedangers which threaten him, that is, by taking advantage of the mutual aid idea of insurance, he ran, in large measure, free 'himself of worry , and not be such a, slave to work. Relax- ation should not have_to wait for the later years of life. The wholeof life' should have time for a healthy mix- ture of work and play. Too much of neither is undesirable! it is the fair mixture of both which" provides for the healthiest and: happiest life.
