SINGER SEWING MACHINES Needles and Repairs A. J. Walker Furniture and Undertaking; biRt BARRY Synopsis: Joyce Ashton, poor sten- ographer, suffered loss of memory in a skidding taxicab accident in Chicago. One morning two years later she woke, after: a fall from her horse, her memory restored, to find herself, as Frills, the wife of Neil Pachard, rich California fruit packer. She de- termined to tell nobody of her ;pre- dicament but set about learning what she could of her life in the interval. From the conversation of her friends and letters in her desk she gathered that she had been a heartless, pleasure loving young woman. One letter that troubled her was from a woman sign- ing herself as Sophie, blaming Frills fornot giving a home ' to a baby Sophie was caring for. Could it be her baby, Frills wondered! She also found herself involved in an affair with a man named Maitland. In San Francisco, where she went while her husband was away on business, she rnet Robert Ainsworth, a poet whose work she had always admired. When Joyce returned home, she decided to be pleasanter to Neil than Frills had been. But this line was dangerous, too for Neil was pathetically anxious to win back Frill's love. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Far in the hills Joyce had found a little group of pines on the edge of a towering redwood grove. When she lay down on her back in the warm sunshine and looked up through the pines at the blue sky, she felt as if she were floating in space. She lay thinking of Neil, and with a' little thrill of'satisfaction she decid- she had once more been forced to face the problem of her .relations with i\'faitland. He had : telephoned and cal.Ued several times the firstday while she was out, and on the second morning, just as she was ready for a ride on Rosita, he had appearell and g r. caught he �' .Joyce let her thoughts .dwell dreamily for a moment on Maitland and instinctively she found herself comparing hin3 with scorn to two men—Robert Ainsworth and Neil Packard. Measured by Ainsworth's standards, Maitland - had' no chance at all—it was almost unfair even to compare them. Maitland had once or twice attemp- ted to reopen the subject of their love, but Joyce had continued to treat hint with such unmistakable coldness that he was baffled and finally let her alone. In her thoughts she now came back, with a quickening of her pulses, to the problem of her relations with Neil. They had gone out together the even- ing before and cooked a camp supper high on a hillside overlooking • the valley. They lingered until it was dark watching the stars creep out into their places. Joyce, hktigging her knees sat and breathed in peace and quiet, while Neil stretched out close to her, smoking a? pipe and playing gently with Dickie's. ears. Suddenly Neil had rolled over to- ward Joyce, and, putting his arms around her waist, laid his head on her lap, Joyce-; leaned back resting her weight on . her hands behind her and did not touch him. She had lately a- ._��"�doh ., ( "Do you remember Me?" asked, Joyce ed that he .showed • no ,evidence of voided every slighest demonstration missing the old Frills. of affection toward him, for she had She had now met pratically every come to the disconcerting conclus- one who moved in their circle in Man- ion more 'than once that Neil was zanita and • had found out enough of finding it harder and harder to keep their history and circumstances so his feelings in check. that she could get safely by in most She . could not help realizing that it was both unwise and unkind for her to slip her hand in his, to smooth back his hair, to lean against him when they sat together, to do anyone. of the dozens of little caressing things which she found herself, in her lik- ing and pity for him, involuntarily and quite innocently inclined to. do. The slightest motion of this sort sent a flame of hope leaping into Neil's eyes. How longcould this go on? It was becoming ,more and more dif- ficult for them both. Joyce trembled, a little to recall the tenseness with which Neil had filially released his hold on her the previous evening. Joyce had been curious to see Joyce Abbott (the one woman Neil seemed to like) and the meet with her had come two days after her conversation with Ethel about dinner for .Rhoda cases. The month was not yet up but Joy- ce, summarizing her impressions and the knowledge she had' gathered, felt that she had given her environment a fair study entitled and was to draw. her conclusions and plan her future course without fnrthur research. First, as to Neil. She had made a number of enlightening and cheering discoveries concerning him. He was devoted to golf but' did not care for dancing;. he liked liquor but never drank to excess, and he disliked ris- que stories more than most of his ac- quaintances guessed. He believed in taking one's part in the life of the community but he would have ` been happy to stay at home four evenings out of e week to enjoy the quiet plea- sures ofprivate life. On her return from San Francisco Maitland. It wasuearly five o'clock and Joyce, dressed in riding clothes, was waiting for Neil to come home and take a ride with her before din- ner. She had just left the, mirror in time living -room when she heard a motor and looking out saw a small, shiny black roadster drive up to the door. The girl who got out was dressed in white linen with a white felt sport , hat and white buckskin oxfords, She was, certainly rather pretty, with her big blue eyes and small neat features Joyce wondered who she was and nerved herself. to the ordeal of meet- ing another stranger who was noet a stranger. e "Sorry to bother you, Frills, but I'm on business this afternoon," be- gan the girl, smiling in a half -apolog- etic, half -defiant fashion. "and your name is on the list I had given Inc to call on. We want to raise a,, lot more money this year for the Or- phans' Vacation Camp up in the 'Sier- ras and so the Committee is planning a big fair and entertainment. We want to find, out what you'll'do for it. Will you enter the horse show and take on one of the acts in the even- ing?" Joyce listened to this appeal with mixed emotions. "Of ` course, I'm .. I'm interested in it," began Joyce slowly, feeling feeling her way and smiling pleas- antly as she spoke, "but I'm not rid- ing any more in shows and I'd rath- er not take part in any entertainment but I'm . . I'd like to help in any other way?" Her , acquiescence was received with gratefully effusive thanks The girl then rose, hesitated for a mo- ment and said, with a little wistful air which Joyce felt instinctively was not wholly genuine, "I wish we. -might be friends. I do so like to be friends with every one. If there's any- thing I can do . . I'm . so sorry." Who was this girl anyhow? won- dered Joyce, slightly exasperated by her meek manner. There had evident- ly been some unpleasantness between Frills and her. But before she had to speak she was saved by the arrival of Neil. "Well, look who's here! Hullo, Joyce, how are you?" he exclaimed, shaking hands cordially with her. Joyce. Abbott, of course! "Well, why not sit down? What's your hurry?" went on Neil in his heartiest manner, "what do you know? How's the new car working?" "Oh, it's just fine! but I must run along now I just came to ask Frills if she'd help on the affair for the Orphans' Vacation Camp Goodbye and thanks ever so much" "Good-bye," said Joyce. She spoke shortly, more because she could not think of anything to say than be- cause. she wished to be disagreeable. Neil accompanied the caller out to her roadster. Joyce, watching sur- reptitiously, was again amused to see the interest with which Neil listened and the appealing little glances Joyce Abbott threw at him from her expressive blue eyes. "I've got her number," thought Joyce, " she's the ultrafeminine sort who clings and makes the men feel big and strong and masculine.". .1 * * Thinking over the past month, Joyce was conscious of a baffled feel- ing of dissatisfaction when it came to her knowledge of Frills' own past. In another direction also .Joyce• felt herself checked. She was no near- er accomplishing her purpose of get- ting back her baby than she had been when she received the first letter from Sophie, A second letter had ar- rived that, morning — exasperatingly vague, very short andagain mimes an address. Joyce tormented herself trying to solve the problem, • but her &termination did not weaken, Her thoughts swung around again to Neil. What was she going to do? To continue indefinitely living in the same house with him as they' had been doing was impossible She had rot known what she was undertaking when she made that .decision "I suppose I should have gone way in the first place," she thought discouragedly; "I can't realize inside of me that 1 am married to Neil Paclaard and I keep having. the feel- ing that there's something all wrong about living with a man so intimately and yet not really intimately,. I'll never lose that feeling of tincomfort- able shyness and s°trangness, I know until , unless—oh, dear!" There might among them a few m g h congenial spirits but. she did not feel any too hopeful. Yee reproved her- self sharplyfor allowing the stand- ards of Robert Ainsworth to influence her. He was nothing to her, she told herself. * * * * As she sat there motionless, she was startled to see a man appear With a :little gasp of amazement Joyce recognized Robert Ainsworth. "Do you remember mile? asked Joyce. "Ori, Lord, how like a woman! Of course I' remember you, worse luck!" he added with such profound gloom that Joyce giggled. "You're my pub- lic, you know!" He looked at her quickly and broke into a smile "Here —please let. me take your horse and turn her out»in the corral" "But .. I was just thinking what a nice place this was : to eat my lun- ch," said Joyce doubtfully. "Oh, blt. wait till . you've' tasted. my coffee," he ' protested, starting to lead Rosita away. "I'm just going to eat lunch myself and I really can make good coffee." He was back in a surprisingly short time and said, "I never eat any- thing except bread and butter and fruit and coffee for lunch but.I have plenty of truck, in the shack and I can :make anything you, like. Orders taken until two -thirty." "Oh, please don't think of getting anything for me except coffee," pro- tested Joyce quickly, "I have my sandwiches which I must really eat or Roxie's feelings would be hurt." "Well the coffee will be done in a few minutes. Sit down or stand up or whatever you feel like doing "`Just l•et me present you with the keys to the city" He put the coffee pot on as he spoke and Joyce asked, "Do the keys of the city include permission to ask. questions?". "On all free admission days, yes. Except, of course, when Claud Al- fred is around. He's just a little bit queer that way. Ever since he threw the mother of five children into . the brook because she asked whether he thought a man's, necktie should match his • socks, I've had to warn casual visitors not to ask him quest- ions." Well, I'm glad he isn't around because I:want to ask " "Oh, I 'know. You avant to ask how I; happen to be here. You want to say hoiv extraordinary it is that we should meet here, after meeting in an equallyextraordinary manner in San Fransico. You want to get personal. You're perfectly . charming Joyce Ashton, and I'm terrified of you. If `I seem to be talking a lot and ` at random you've only yourself to blame. My well known poise is Shattered—" He broke off abruptly, and Joyce dropped limply into a chair.' Nothing could have surprised her more than to hear Robert. Ainsworth talking to her in this manner.: "Well, goahead and tighten the clamps," he continued. "You've heap- ed coals of fire on nay head by your sunny ' acceptance of everything -haul me over them!" He smiled, but Joyce knew he was in deadly earnest. "Sentence suspended!" she gravely Thursday, June 9th, 193 retorted,, Their eyes niet with rnut itiql. approval for a moment, and Joyce lightly turned the conversation to the world of books, (Continued Next Week.) 'hr A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL: ASSOCIATI.o N AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA WHY HOBBIES? IVI•ost of us wish' to do one or more things outside of the work which is curdaily task. These are the things of which we should make a hobby, because of the pleasure we derive in doing what we want to do, releas- ing us from theroutine towhich we are more or less committed for 'vari- ous reasons. A hobby gives pleasure and satis- faction without any consideration of financial gain. It should be widely different from our regular occupation, and it' should not be costly. Above' all, it should entail no- compulsion, as it should be a perfectly free ex- pression of xpression-of a personal desire. People vary so much in their per- sonal desires and in their capacity for doing things that there is the great- est possible range of activities includ- ed in the hobbies which are selected. One man collects stamps, another goes in for photography, while still another finds his hobby at the car- penter's bench' or in raising flowers. Whatever the hobby is, it is play; it means doing what we really want to' do. It is healthful to have a hobby, For the indoor worker, it is preferable that his hobby take him out doors. The man or woman who sits all day should have a hobby that calls for. muscular activity. In these desirable ways, fresh air, sunshine and exer- cise are secured in an enjoyable man- ner, and, as a result, health is im- proved. The hobby provides a release from the worries of the daily grind, and furnishes a real and active interest. Hobbies help us to overcome the difficulties. of - life, nad make life more worth while. Hobbies are ed pcational because of the opportunity they present for constructive efforts. They provide a means of gaining personal satisfaction through accomp- lishment, and, in every way, promote mental health. You cannot make yourself culivate a hobby, but you should give your- self a chance to ride a hobby. Your hobby will be your own, and if it provides an interest, if it gives you pleasureand.satisfaction, and if it allows you to escape from business. and other worries, then it is.a good hobby for you. All we have said amounts' to this --we should have some play through- out life, and one desirable form of play is to be found in hobbies. Phys- ical and mental health benifit, life is made wore pleasant, and, all all, all, hobbies are recommended for every one.
