CHAPTER III.
"No Matter What Happens" .
At no timehad it been Phil Kend-
rick's habit to entertain en inflated'
opinion of his own importance. On
occasion he had ridden around the
gridiron on the shoulders of idolatrous
students; but his modesty had been
one of the factors underlying his
popularity. • Despising conceit in
others, he was too prone, perhaps, to
take himself to task for those little
mistakes which every young man is
liable to make from time to time.
It is safe to say, however, that
never in all his life had he arraigned
himself upon the carpet of his own
condemnation so severely as.. now
while paddling across the bay for the
second time within the hour. If the
McCorquodale incident earlier in the
evening had lowered his opinion of
his own judgment he was now ready
to concede that he had no judgmentwhatsoever. It was of little use to
tell himself that it served her right,
or that she had dared him deliberately
to do what he had done. That did
not alter the fact that if he ever met
her again --it was not likely that he
would, • of course, but if he did,---
somewhere, sometime—he had erected
a barrier to her igood, will which
would. preclude 'all hope •of her friend-
ship. His status in her sight was
that of a "miserable fresh Aleck!"
Thus, as a relief to his feelings
and in part to keep warm by exertion,
did Phil ,come home through the fog
at headlong pace in a high. state of
discontent, a veritable bear with a
pore head. As he lifted the canoe to
Its place in the boathouse something
pmicked his finger, and by the light
of a match he found a dollar bill
pinned to one of the canoe cushions
with a tiny brooch. His hire!—the.
only reward he had had any • right
to expect! The sight of these
souvenirs did not tend to restore his
peace ofe mind; ..and . there was little
mirth in the short Jabgh which- he
bestowed upon 'themas he thrustthem into his pocket; yet • it is in
te¢esting that he looked upon them
as souvenirs, even Wile deciding to
dismiss the whole matter perman-
ently from his thoughts.
The launch was not hack yet, he
noted. Well, Stinson could go to the
devil with it for all be cared! He
slammed the boathouse door and
strode up the side -street, this mood
carrying as far as the picket gate.
Hie hand was en the latch before he
realized that thelibrary windows
were blurring through the fog with
light.
Had the servants all gone crazy
to -night? He went around to the
front of the house, and witth his
face between the slats of the
verandah railing, peered through the
French windows. Muttering astonish-
ment, he climbed over the railing,
fitted his latch -key noiselessly and
swung open the double glass doors
that gave direct entrance to the room.
The slight sound of his entry passed
unnoticed by the Honorable Milton
Waring, who . continued to lean ovor
bis desk completely absorbed in a
litter of papers.
:But for the heavy odor of stale
cigar smoke it would have been easy

the situation embarrassed him and
he was not quite sure how to handle

nervously with his fingers.
Phil nodded as he sat down in the
nearest chair and stared back. The
surprise of finding his uncle there
was overridden by the new discovery
of his evident diffidence, his flushed
face, a lack of that self-oontained
bearing which always • had marked him
as a man of large affairs. It was his
uncle's strict rule, he recalled; never
to take a second drink; it was an
axiom of the Honorable Milton'e that

Thatsomething had happened which
must have disturbed him greatly to
make him break this rule was a de-
duction as simple as the evidence that
he had broken it.

suggested Kendrick after a brief ex-
planation of chin change of plans—a
recital which carefully avoided men-

A Profitable Social Gathering.
During the warn many pleasant so-
eial customs fell by the wayside,, but
now they are beginning to :be restored.
Among these is the social sewing that
made a pleasant dray for the neigh-
borhood,:or the club, or the church
society, ald a very profitable one for
'that hostess,
Of course, the success: of it depends
largely upon the ability of the hostess
to utilize ,her spare time getting
things ready for e long time before,
so that there is no hitch in the work
from the moment it begins until
the
ladies reluctantly go home late in the
afternoon. The hostess has ready
garments for the children, shifts for
the men folks, household supplies,.
such as sheets, curtains, pillow slips,
taible linen and dish towels, carpet
rags to slew for rugs, aprons, perhaps
a quilt to quilt or 'a comfort to knot,
things tomakeover and the general
sewing of the family that she has not
had time to do. Often a good seam-
stress is ,engaged for a day ahead to
cut -out and baste the more difficult
things, though this, is not really nec-
essary.
Everything is roiled together for..
the garment, or else the 'articles are
folded separately in clean newspapers.
i The sewing machine is cleaned, oiled
and put in good order, plenty of
thread and buttons are provided and
everything thought out beforehand
for the success of the day. The best
workers attack the hard things, leav-
ing the carpet rags for the children,
who love to have a hand in the fun,
and the patching for the elderly la-
dies who do not trust their eyesight
for the complex things. In groups
the ladies work, each doing what she
is best fitted to do.
The hostess provides the dinner
which is usually chicken and biscuits,
or some big substantial dish that will
be relished by all. ' A good menu is
chicken with fresh rolls and mashed
potatoes, cabbage, salad or stewed
tomatoes, hone-ra:ade pickles and cake.
The greater part of this is made ready
the day before, such as baking the
cake, opening ;the fruit, cleaning the.
chickens, making the rolls to' be re-
heated next day, and getting the
tables partly ready. It isn't hard
work to get the dinner and the dishes
can be ]eft until the guests g••r home,
, as there will be plenty of food to be
reheated for the family supper, and
the mistress of the house •can feel
free to enjoy herself once the eating
is -over.
The beetese also pay to the club.
or organization ten or fifteen cents
for each person present. One lady,
who entertained a group of twenty-
five workers counted up herecost at
i
thirty cents each for the fee and the
cost of the mer!, and found that for
seven dollars and fifty cents she had l
more than thirty dollars' worth of
finished work to her •credit. The beau-
tiful quilt alone that the ladies quilted
would have cost six dollars, while the
rags for rugs represented a saving of
:several dollars for floor covering for
the guest bedroom; above the thirty
dollars' worth of garments. Every-
body had a good time and was not
overworked, and everybody said it
was a delightful day,
' With the country short of help so
very long, and everyone rushed to
death, the social gatherings have been
all toofew for some years beck, eo if
the sewing social coonleines work and
fun and helps the country ladies get
away from honie more than they do,
it is to be hoped that many, more con-
niunities will take it up speedily.

Iceland Short of Ice.
Strange as it may seem, ece,tancl has.
run short of ice, and urgent 'requests
for immediate shipments of that com-
modity
ommodity have been bent to Norway.
Herring fishing, Iceland's principal;'
industry, is in grave danger,as ice is
required for packing.,, the fish, which
aro exported in large quantities. This
ice shortage has been caused by an
extraordinarily mild winter.
On the north coast of the island
there is ice without limit, but there is
no means of transporting it to the dis-
tricts where it is required. Hence the
urgent appeals for shipments of ice,
from other parts in order to save the
herring industry.

$15 lbs, for Woo!
That's what you pay for it when
you buy a suit. What do you get a
pound for it when you sell the wool?
Canadian wool has to be sent out
of Canada to be prepared for the
spinner. A pound of wool bought
from the farmeris sold from one
commission merchant to another,
stored, shipped by train and boat;
stored in England, sold and re -ship-
ped
until eventually it gets back to
the mills in Canada at many times
the price you got for it. There is
no place in Canada to prepare wool
for the worsted spinner. Isn't it a
shame?
A milt is now under consideration,
in Toronto, to convert raw wool for
the spinner. When wool can be
sent direct to the mill for combing.
and sold direct to the spinner, then''
the farmer will get the full price.
