Clarke • • P • • ' It happened at a euchre party Someone approached the master of ceremonies and whispered in his ear, The M.C. promptly asked the people if there was, anyone pre- sent with a car outside bearing the licence number 121334. (The number is fictitious). If so the owner was wanted outside. 10 %lc mgved , , nobody spoke • . but 1 think everyone, in- cluding myself, was looking around to sec who would answer the call. The players finally went on with their game. Half an hour later the M.C. in- terrupted again. "There is a dog in a car outside and if the owner doesn't look after it the dog will choke to death: The licence number of the car is 1213.34. Visible con- sternation among the players. Pre- sently a young girl crossed the room . held a hurried consuI- tation with an older woman who searched hastily through her purse.

Montreal depths and handed over *to the young girl. Exit young girl. e * * * Now I'm asking you — if some- one called your Motorcar licence number would you know it, for your own? On that occasion I knew the number called was not mine but when I tried to think what my •licence number was, for the life o. pie I couldn't remember. But a dog in a car—well of course, anyo:. _ would remember that. By the way, in case dog lovers may imagine this was a case for the ,Humane Society, let Me hasten to add, the dog was not choking to death. It• was just a lonely little puppy raising his,. voice in protest as it waited to be collected by the person to whom it had been sold. * ,* * Well, the last three days on Ginger Farm have been a little o of the ordinary. One day we were getting ready to thresh; the next day we threshed, and today we are getting over it. • Now there is plenty of grain in the bins to see us over yet another winter, Thresh- ing is really a• marvellous thing. Ydu see the sheaves go into the great maw of. the feeder where by some intricate mechanism every- thing is sorted out so that the grain goes itno the bin via the grain spout, the straw through the blower to the back of the barn, the weeds drop down to the floor and the dust goes where the wind takes it. It is a dirty job and I never begrudge the work of getting good meals for the men—if they are good meals—that, of course is a matter of opinion. I do the best I can even if sometimes I appear to treat them badly. Yesterday, for instance, I forgot the bread at suppertime. But I saw the men reaching for soda biscuits and carie to my senses. That wasn't quite so bad as a friend of mine who forgot the pies. After the men had gone there were the pies, cut, but otherwise untouched, still on a side table in the dining -room. When the table is so crowded with men, food and dishes, it is the easiest thing in the world to leave something out. VOICE OF THE •PRESS PINCHPENNY PARADISE If there were any truth 'in that libel about the farthing having been coined to enable the Scotts to be charitable, there would be a tre- mendous Scottish migration to Greece, where it now takes 300,000- 000.drachma to make a dollar. — Windsor Star.

Sapphires and Diamonds by DOROTHY TRdWB IDLE by DOROTHY TROWBRIDGE Chapter IX "Do you mind if I run down- stairs and telephone, Peggy?" Nan- cy interrupted her. "I—I forgot to phone home that I arrived all right. You needn't come with me," she added slipping into a negligee "I noticed tonight where the phone was." "Go right on down then," Peggy urged. "I'll run in and say good night to Maxine while you phone." She hurried across the hall to her sister's room when Nancy started down the stairs. ' Oh, here you are," Maxine ctied as Peggy entered. "I was hoping you'd get in for a good night chat. There are a milion thinge I want to tell you and ask you." "That's the way I feel," Peggy declared, curling herself up on the foot of her sister's bed, and watch- ing Maxine unpack her things and put them out into the room. . * * * "First of all," Maxine continued, "I want to know about this young man you are going to marry. -Of course I realize that it is hard to make Gran, darling- that she is, `understand things as we see them.

So I do hope he isn't someone she doesn't like. Have you told her anything about him? You see, darling," she added sit- ting on the bed near Peggy, and taking both of the younger girl's hands in her own, "I'm frightfully anxious about it all, because what I really came home for was to see about you. I have the most wonder- ful opportunity right now. They want me to make a new picture— in England! I'm dying to do it, but I just could'nt say yes until I came her and saw how things were with you. I made up my mind that if you were unhappy I'd give up my work for a while and stay here and look after you. Then to find that you are engaged—well, it just seems that everything is working out all right for me to go to Eng- land. Or is it, little Peggy? You see, I must know." Peggy gulped. "Oh, yes, • of course, Maxine. I ani perfectly happy. I don't really need you her, although you know how heav- enly it is having you. You needn't worry about Gran and the man I'm going to marry. Everything there is splendid, only ,we—well' we just wanted to keep it to ourselves right at first. So don't mind if I don't tell even you his name right now." Maxine eyed her sister searching- ing, then leaning forward kissed her gently. "All right, Baby, whatever you say. .You know I trust your judgment and I know you would n't do anything ever that would cause either Gran or me any un- happiness." Peggy felt that if she stayed there another minute she would be crying her heart out in her sister's arms. "1 must run back to Nancy now," she said jumping to her feet. "Good night. It's grand to have you here even for a short time. I know the English picture will be swell" * * * She got out of the room some- how, Under the door of her grand- mother's room she could see the faint flicker of a light. She want- ed awfully to knock on the door and slip in there and tell Mrs. Hor- ton what she had done. This was the first time she had ever de- ceived her grandmother and her sister and it gave her a feeling of panic. It had seemed rather fun this morning, there in the road, planning with Harry to put some- thing over on Nancy. But actually carrying out the plan she found was no fun at all. She had counted all afternoon on telling Maxine and letting her decide what to do. And now her engagement was just the thing Maxine was delighting in. Peggy threw back her head and marched into her own rooxn. All right, she would see it through! "Are you there, Nancy?" she called. "Yes, I'm in bed," Nancy re- plied. "Come on in." She sounded all right now. Evidently her tele- phone talk Bone had helped het.. "just a tiliniite," Peggy called. She must put Harry's ring away 1 The Pick of Tobacco in some safe place. She couldn't carry it around in her bag for a week. She would be sure to pull. it out with a handkerchief or a pow- der puff. She looked about for a place to hide it, .,ut her room seemed very open. The drawers of her bureau would be opened by Mary Lou when she put away the laundry, The cubby holes of her desk had letters and note paper stuffed into them. It wasn't that she doubted the honesty of :any of the servants. She knew that they would never fake anything, no mat- ter what she left lying about, but she did not want anyone to see this ring. She remembered a pair of satin evening slippers she had had at school. There seemed to be no chance of wearing those now. She would stuff the ring into the toe of one of them and it would be safely out of sight. * * * Getting her bag from a drawer she reached in for the ring. Im- patient at her inability to find it, she emptied the contents of the bag onto the bed. But no glittering diamond and sapphire ring rolled out with the coin purse, compact and handkerchief. Hastily she picked up the handkerchief and felt it, then shook it, at the first gently, then roughly, but nothing fell from it as she waved it by two corners. Frowning, she opened the coin purse and emptied that. It con- tained only a little silver and a few pennies. Nothing that could con- ceal a ring. Frightenednow, she picked up the bag again, this time turning it inside out. :Perhaps there was a hole in the lining. But there was not. The ring was just not there. On hands and knees she crawled under the bed staring stu- pidly about the dusky -space. She backed out from there and moved the bureau. But it was useless. She looked in her glovts. She emptied the two top drawers. The ring was gone. (Continued Next Week.) Don't Discard Jars With Screw -Tops A peekaboo storage jar saves valuable time. Any glass jar with a screw-top cover and a fairly large mouth is a household help. Buttons! Did you save those lit- tle white buttons or didn't you? Shake up the glass jar which con- tains your buttons and answer your own question. As soon as you open a package of rice or barley or corn meal, pour the contents into a glass jar with a good top to keep then free from moisture. The crusty end of bread loaves, toast left over from -break- fast, and stale bread, niay be run through the food chopper and stored for neat loaf, scalloped dishes and topping casserole dishes. Add the cracker crumbs left in the bottom of the box. At a glance you know just how nnich you have on hand. Perhaps you have herbs grow- ing in one corner of your garden. The leaves of mint, marjoram, and basil, carefully dried and sieved, are conveniently kept in small glass jars, labelled of course, so that half a teaspoon may be added to your cookery. Don't forget the pian of the house! He will purr like a cat by the fireside if you present him with some clean glass jars in which he may keep nails, screws, and all those little things he wants for his repair jobs. Rubber Dulls Silver Never let rubber bands get near silverware as they would cause tarnish, Use cords or tape for ty- ing up silver in bags or cases to be stored away. Mr. Churchill Sang The Fourth Verse In the wardroom of one of H. M. ships, with Mr. Churchill on board, a sing -song was in progress. Prime Minister and officers joined in singing "Rule, Britannia", but after three verses there came a pause. "What about the fourth verse?" said Mr, Churchill, Nobody seemed to know it so Mr. Churchill sang it himself. What is the fourth verse of "Rule, Britannia"? Mr. Richard Tobin, of the "New York 1Ierald- Triliune", writing the story for his paper, made many inquiries, but nobody was able to quote the verse. The Muses, still with freedom found, Shall to thy happy coast repair. Blest isle, with matchless beauty crowned, And many hearts to guard the fair. Rule, Britannia, etc. Relieve Neuritis...
