Pauline adored Barbara who had been married, Was the ins ther 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 scenting wall of personal dislike by both. Six months after Pauline's edding, :Barbara comes for a short stay. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Pauline slipped to her knees beside - her friend. "1 think I'xn just beginnipg to un- derstand that life isn't the simple thing. I thought it was," she said slowly. "If it were we should find it 'dull and uninteresting," Barbara declared, "It's the uncertainty that keeps • tis going at all. What is the inxportant question?" Pauline looked down at her new wedding ring and twisted it thought- fu11,y; then suddenly .she raised her eyes. "Why don't you like Dennis?" she asked. Barbara was lighting yet another cigarette --her white slender fingers paused in their task; then she an- swered evenly: "But I do like hint. I like him immensely," Pauline shook her fair head. "It'ee nice of you to say so, but somehow I don't quite believe you. There's a sort of feeling of antagonism when- ever you and he are in the same room." "Isn't it rather he who doesn't like nie, don't you think'? And isn't it perhaps because I ani here that he has soddenly decided not to come in to dinner to -night?"

"Barbara Bloats like a cross between an Egyp. tiaii .queen and tt'film vamp," he had protested only last night. "Why .on earth can't she wear frocks like ' this?" and he had :pinched a soft. fold of his rift's between a finger and thumb, Pauline had flushed with pleasure.. "Now if Barbara wore what I call.

Pauline told him; "Why should he disapprove of it sounded profound, and then she ask- ed the' question which for months she `had longed to ask. "Barbara did you love your husband when you married him?" The answer came without hesita- tion. "I thought I did, but eve had been married exactly — I think one hour—when I knew I did not." "How dreadful!" Barbara laughed. "It was . rather, but I've got over it, and it was au experience I don't regret." "And you've never loved anyone since?" "Yes, I've been fool. enough for that," • "Oh!" Pauline scrambled to her feet, "Who was he? Do tell me!" Barbara Moved away to the win- dow, "It wouldn't interest you," she said, "E'erything about you interests me," Pauline pleaded, Barbara turned, smiling a little. "This wouldn't. It's nothing roman- tic." But Pauline would not be denied. "Didn't he love you? Oh, but he must have, she insisted. "I never asked him. One doesn't go about proposing to men who don't show the slightest interest in one, you know," "I know, but—" Barbara patted Pauline's cheek. "I said I'd answer one question, and I'm sure •I've answered half a dozen," she protested. "What are we going to do with ourselves this evening?" "Peterlin's coming for dinner." t Barbara raised her brows. "Poor Peterkin!" "What do you mean?" "Why, by coming here to see you." "'Why shouldn't he? He's my cousin." "1 know—a cousin who adores the ground you walk on. Now that's a man whose love I b€lieve in, Pauline. You're the only woman in his life. You ought to have married him—I consider you are admirably suited." "Barbara! I don't care for him in that way at alt." I know ry o ax don't, but all Y the same you are admirably suited to him. You're both sentimental where- as Dennis-" She stopped, but Paul- ine caught her up quickly. "What about Dennis?" 'Nothing, except that tempera- mentally' he's your exact opposite," "Then we must have been made for each other," Pauline insisted. 'Like attracts unlike,' they say, don't they?" "Attracts, yes," and then, as if re- gretting the word, Barbara laughed. "Why do you lead me on to: talk such nonsense? Oughtn't we to dress?

It was the little things 'of life that were so disap- pointing, she decided. Only_ last night, ' for instance, he had .conte holm earlier than usual from the City and had gone straight down to the garage and had tinkered about with the car. When they were first married his first thought would have been, for her—or--wouldn't it? Pauline submitted herself to a stiff cross-examination. Perhaps she had. been unwise. It was a mistaketo show you were too fond of a man— Barbara n Barbara had always said that—Bar- bara hat ar- bara who was so cynically w rdly wise, But even Barbara admitted to be- ing in love! Pauline wondered who the man could be, and decided that it was probably the married an with whose she had lately been go- ing about. A bell pinged through the house, and she changed hurriedly and 'exit downstairs.

There was an unkind Little note in the question, and Paul- ine drew away from him offendedly, "And your'e. still quite happy?" She met his 'eyes serenly. "Per- fectly." He let her go at that. "Well—are rvve dining alone?" "No. Barbara is here." His eyes brightened. "Is she? I like that woman—.,he's a fascinating devil. I wonder she hasn't got mar- ried again." "I wish she would. There is -- Pauline broke off, realizing she had been about to break a confidence by speaking of the man whom Barbara had admitted loving, and the next moment Barbara was in the room. They had quite a cheery dinner in spite of Dennis's empty chair, before which Pauline insisted on placing a vase of roses and a glass of wine. "for luck." "Still so romatetici" Barbara teas- ed her. "And always Will be, I hope," Pauline answered, She was rather quiet, during dinner — afterward when she was in bed and lying aw- ake listening e ng for Dennis, she realized there had not been much necessity for her to talk. .Then she heard Dennis' step up the little garden and the sound of his key in the door. She flew out of bed and down the stairs, barefooted tas she was, and when he opened the door she flung herself into his arms. "How late you are! It's been so lonely. Are you all right? I'rn al- ways so afraid you'll get run over or something when you're out so late." O'Hara laughed and . kissed her flushed cheek. "Do you think I want a nurse or a keeper?" he asked. He put her gently from him. "You'll take cold —no slippers or dressing gown." "I'm quite warm." She hung round him as he took off his coat, and she followed him into the dining room, talking all the time, "Have you had dinner?" • (Continued next week.)

IN CANADA A BAYER A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA TOO THIN We hear a great deal of talk about "the dangers of overweight after for- ty." There is 'also danger in ,"under- weight "under -weight before thirty", which should not be forgotten in this age of slend erness, There is no definite measure of normal weight. We know the aver- age weights for sex, age and height,. but averages are not necessarily nor- mals. The long-legged person with a slender fraine may be below av- erage weight and still be normal. The average weights, are a good guide, however, and the individual who . is far from the average should seek the cause. Under thirty years of age, weight that is definitely below the average is not desirable. 'Tuberculosis is fre- quently associated with a run-down physical condition, and underweight is a warning signal of such a condi- tion. The younger person who is too thin has less ,power of resistance. Tuberculosis cannot be cured sim- ply by adding weight to the body,. but the chances s developing e of deve o in the disease can be minimized by having the body fortified against the germs of tuberculosis. Resistance can be built up with adequate food, rest, fresh air and sunshine. " It is in the early adult years that tuberculosis reaps its largest harvest. Tuberculosis seldom develops in the healthy well-nourished body. The early adult years are particularly try- ing, for these years bring the physi- cal and mental strain of starting to work, of marriage and the beginning of a new home. To this is added, in women, the strain of childbearing. The .early adult years are the years when most of us carry our heaviest. physical and amental burdens. Underweight due to disease or to some abnormal condition of the body can be corrected only through the removal of the cause. If there is no disease, to gain weight we must eat n'tore food each day than our body needs, just as when we wish to re- duce weight, we must eat less food than our body uses. The person who is underweight needs added rest. He should spend more hours in bed at night, take a. noon -day rest (if only for ten min- utes) and a rest before meals so that he will not take food when his body is fatigued. He should spend as niuclr time as possible in the open air and: avoid strenuous exercise. Walking is an excellent form of exercise for the person who is underweight as it keeps him out ofdoors and does not cause fatigue. Food, rest, fresh air and sunshine are the weans which are available to' build up strong, healthy bodies. They must be made use of regularly if re- sults are to be achieved and main- tained.
