If she could only go back to this morning when she had had no ring! "Well, I can't tell you his name yet," she answered aloud. "Won't I meet him while I'm here?" Nancy wanted to know, watching her closely. "No, you see he doesn't live here. That's why. He's away, and I don't know just when he is corning. I'm awfully sorry but you see that is the way it is. He doesn't live here, and he is coming, but I don't know when, and there are several com- plications." That seerned a good line, Peggy told herself, and she had better learn it well. "Come on, let's go down," she added. "There seem to be complica- tions," Nancy muttered as they left her room. They stopped by Peg- gy's room while she put away her hat, gloves and bag, then went downstairs to join the others on the back terrace for tea. * * Maxine, of course, was the cen- Look, Mother — only one yard needed for this cute jumper!

Nan- cy seemed morose, but she always was when she was not the center of things, Peggy thought'unhappi- ly. Only once did she enter the conversation. "I've often been told," Nancy said, patting her blonde hair, "that I am a lot like Carole Landis. Do you think I ani? I've sometimes thought I might go into pictures. You remember, Peggy, at school I was always in all the dramatics? Of course, I don't know just how to get in, but you could probably help me there," she said to Maxine. "Well, I'm afraid not," Maxine answered slowly. "You see there are so many pretty girls who want to get in, and they have such bitter disappointments. I just happened to fit a part they needed someone for, and some studio executive saw me when we were going through a studio, and asked me to conte back for a screen test. It was just a break, but of course that doesn't happen often." "Have you no other friends in California, Maxine, except these people of the stage with whom you work?" her grandmother asked. "Oh, yes, of course. But, Gran dear, you must realize that many of the people connected with the studios are delightful. The direc- tors and people like that. I wish you knew some of them." * * * Mrs. Horton shook her head, "No, they do not seem tc have hurt you, but I am afraid they do not appeal to pie. I have no desire to meet anyone connected with pic- tures." Peggy was silent for the most part. Content to listen, and eagerly awaiting an opportunity to have a talk with her sisfer. In the triangle between the serv- ice wing which made an ell on the opposite side of the house corre- sponding to the office, and the ter- race, Gran had her herb garden. In the late afternoon the clean spi- cy odors of sweet marjoram, tansy, thyme, lavender, heliotrope and others that Peggy could never re- member, mingled, and she inhaled the fragrance contentedly. "Funny about the way things smell," she thought to herself, not listening much to the others, just enjoying the fact that Gran and Maxine and she were together again. "The linens at boarding school were soapily clean, and you knew you would get up and go to bed and eat by a bell. Here they all smell of lavender and helio- trope; and you know the coffee will be hot and served in dainty cups, and that either the sun will be shining or that fires will be burning in the early morning." * * * Each room at Rosewood had its own fireplace, and in the winter a fire was always lighted in the bedroom before its occupant was up. At night, except in summer, Peggy had sleepily watched the fire -light dancing on the walls of her large room ever since she could remember. After supper, as they were leav- ing the dining room, Nancy held Peggy back a little after Mrs. Horton and lfaxine had left the room. "What are we doing tonight?" she asked. "I am always so curi- ous when I'm on a blind date." "But we aren't doing anything," Peggy told her in confusion. "You mean we haven't any dates?" Nancy asked, drawing back in shocked surprise. "Can't we call up somebody to come over and take us some place or dance here or do something? 'Why I never spend an evening alone." * * * Peggy was close to tears. Ev- rything was wrong. She did not mind spending evenings at home although she did want to go out HELP 'VIA HORSEBACK Devised for evacuation of wounded Allied soldiers from moun- tainous terrain, these twin stretchers, being, demonstrated in this picture by British soldiers are mounted on a Johnston carrier, which may be placed across the back of a mule or horse for easy transportation. some, but it had not dawned on her that she should have something' planned for every minute of Nan- cy's visit. How could she? "You see it's on account of my engagement. He is frightfully jeal- ous. Perhaps with Maxine here we may be able to fix up something. I'm sorry." ' Nancy pouted in silence the rest . of the evening. At quarter to ten •Mrs. Holton suggested that it was time for bed, since both guests must be tired. Maxine caught Peg- gy's eye and smiled, A smile of remembrance. This was the hour when Mrs. Horton always suggest- ed It was time for bed. But the light always burned in her own room long after the other lights were out,Both girls had often wondered why Gran always insisted on going up to bed so early, and then re- mained awake so late. But no one ever questioned Gran's decisions. Nancy and Peggy talked as they walked back and• forth between their rooms while they undressed. At least Peggy talked. She kept up a rapid fire, asking of this girl from boarding school and telling what she knew of another. She remembered Nancy's disposition of old. She must fix up something. for them to do. (Continued Next Week) SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON October 22nd RELIGION IN EDUCATION . Mat. 7:7-12 - Luke 6:39-45 Golden Text:—Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." These were the words of Jesus to the multitudes, and to those who have acknowledged the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour, are now according to John, become the sons of God, and the bank of heaven is at their disposal. VITe are not to be afraid or timid, but to ask, with the assurance that our requests will be granted. We have a wonderful God watching over us, who is never too tired to listen to our petitions; never trav- elling in some distant land when we seek him, or never too busy. when we knock to open the doors ADMIRAL'S DEPUTY Appointment of Vice Adml.

Some fathers will go to a great deal of trouble and expense to sat- isy the desires of their children, yet it cannot be compared with what the Lord will do for those who love him. A loving father will never give such dangerous things as matches to a child because of the harp they might cause, and a loving God at times does not grant us the desires of our hearts when it would not be best for us. "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." Let us put these words in our book of remem.berance where they will never be forgotten, Let us not fail to lend a helping hand at every opportunity. Or if we are tempted to pass by a friend in need, remember the words of Jesus "As ye have done it unto one of the Ieast of these my breth- ern, ye have done it unto me." Words Of Advice It is easy to see the ultimate re- sult of the blind leading the blind, but what of the spiritual applica- tion? We who are so fortunate in possessing God's word, should read it, lest we be lead astray by false teachers. "By their fruits ye shall know them." Are our guides pro- ducing Godly men and women, typical of the straight and narrow way, or individuals like the many who are on the broadway which leadeth down to destruction? Criticizing was probably as popu- lar in the days of Christ as today. How easy to see all the faults in our neighbors, and to overlook all our own shortcomings. May we profit from these words of advice, and consider our way before cast- ing a critical eye at those around us? "Keep thy tongue from evil." To Make Politics Better: Take Part Talking About What Should Be Done To Make Politics Better, Is Not Enough Mr. Elliott Little's advice to business men, given in a recent broadcast, that they take more in- terest in politics and use their in- fluence to shape policies, is exciting considerable comment, says the Ottawa Journal. We can but trust that those who seem to be inter- ested are not overlooking Mr. Lit- tle's suggestions on how to take part in politics. Said he: "As a beginning, I suggest you take this simple but important step: Join the local association of the political party of your choice. At- tend its meetings... exert an in- fluence on the selection of the type of candidate who will ultimately stand for office." We wonder how many business and professional men — manufac- turers, merchants, lawyers, doc- tors, engineers, school teachers — belong to the Ottawa associations of the Liberal and Conservative parties. How many of those who may belong to them attend their meetings? And how many will be present when those associations fi- nally meet in convention to no- minate candidates for the coming Dominion election? We would like to think that Mr. Little's advice and exhortations will not fall on barren soil — but fear greatly that they will. Busi- ness and professional men --• plus many others — like to talk about what should be done to make poli- tics better, but that, as a rule, is as far as they go -- talk, plus homi- lies at service club luncheons and high-sounding resolutions by Chant - hers of Commerce and Boards of Trade. • Iilliiji???iii �i:li j?if ???I?'r31?jilt?i!ii1?

Clarke • • • • • Farm women surely have their troubles when it conies to doing war work! Two or three weeks ago our In- stitute decided to hold a euchre and auction sale to raise money for war work. We also decided to make several quilts to be sold. But alas, we didn't take corn bees into consideration. So, last Monday, when we had two quilts set up and were already to go, so were the corn -cutters! Regrets from In- stitute members were coming in wholesale—"So sorry, can't quilt today. Filling silo tomorrow and I must get my baking doner" Or again—"I have to take chickens to the city tomorrow—Bill can't go—he has a bid to a corn heel" So that was that. The few of us who were not tied up with corn bees had to work that much hard- er. We struggled painfully on, working against time and with very sore fingers. We managed two quilts but gave up the ghost on the third. Then cane the big day—Friday —and still there were corn bee complications. A feeling of gloom possessed us. We thought the af- fair was doomed to be a failure, But we did just as . you would probably have done—we carried on and hoped for the best. And then, as so often happens, the best was surprisingly good. We netted over a. hundred dollars and had lots of fun. There was even a wee puppy for sale. But the next day . . . well, it was not only the morning after the night before, but the morning after a week of real, hard work. * Sometimes I think we farm wo- men are crazy to try doing any war work at all. We have so much to occupy our time. But if we did not make the effort there would be far less Red Cross work going overseas because I have been told repeatedly that there is a greater proportion of work coming from the country than from urban cen- tres. Making use of the odd min- utes is largely a platter of habit. A piece of knitting can easily be picked up as one chats away to casual callers. No apology should be necessary. Rather should an excuse be offered if time be wast- ed. We can safely leave time -wast- ing to the men! If I ever see a man making use of spare time other than to puff at a pipe or roll a cigarette, so help me, I shall drop in my tracks. But of course the nen, bless them, don't have any spare time. Well, neither do the women, Not in the country, anyway. We relax by working at something different. We wash dishes and then sit down to knit, We finish the ironing and then darn the socks. Personally I often darn socks in more ways than one. Maybe you do, too. And we still carry on with out war work. Maybe it isn't so crazy after all. There will always be lift* ers and leaners. Do you want tt be a leaner? I ani sure I don't. The boys are doing most of the lifting but we can all shove a bit accord- ing to our strength and ability. Step On It! Admiral Halsey tells about get ting to a football game late, step- ping on a sailor's foot while scram- bling to his seat. The sailor, not looking up, yell- ed, "Get off my foot, you big lug". Then he recognized the admiral, blurted: "Oh, my goodness, beg pardon, sir. Here's niy other foot — go ahead — step on itl" "Constipation gone ...this easy way" "I'm delighted I found out about ALL - BRAN for it en- ded my consti- pation woes.
