SALADA STAMP CLLR' - 461 King St. W., Taranto 0 SERIAL STORY NO TIME TO MARRY 2EAYSERVICE9 NC BY ELINORE COWAN STONE CAST OF CHARACTERS JANET DWIGHT, heroine. She was engaged to handsome young architect LANCE BARSTOW, hero. Lance had great dreams for the future. So did CYNTHIA CANTRELL, orphaned granddaughter of great-aunt Mary Cantrell. Still another dreamer was BARNEY McKNIGHT, newspaper- man. But Barney was more than a dreamer. At last Janet realizes she loves Last Week: Janet transforms the room and Barney is delighted. Then suddenly he turns from Jan- et mysteriously. CHAPTER XXIII Oh, Barney, Janet thought, you wouldn't have evaded a month ago. You'd have just blurted it out— na matter what it was. Can't we ever be—just natural again? He had turned back from the eoat closet, and was looking about him. "How did you do it, Jan?" he asked; then with a laugh that covered an edge of anxiety, "You haven't been robbing a bank or something, have you?" "Just some things I had at home." "Oh!" he said; and she won- dered if she were mistaken in thinking he sounded relieved. "A few odds and ends do make a lot of difference, don't they?" she went on chattily. "Now I think it will do very nicely for a while." "Do?" Barney stopped smiling to frown f ''n; rr .yen irk,;,,,„ w, ng w .. .: You've made—well,' you've made a hone out of nothing." He seemed so happy, and sud- denly so rested that she did not tell him that the one bedroom window was stuck fast, that the oven wouldn't heat properly, and that the superintendent had told her the janitor had exceeded his authority in promising the fresh paint and linoleum, "Say," Barney went on, "there's room along that wall for the book- shelves I left in storage at my old diggings. I'll get them and un- pack my books as soon as he broke off; then finished hastily, "as soon as 1 have time." When they sat down to dinner, Janet said, "Is the war all over at the office? By this time, old Owlface must know that it's your story that's selling the News. I couldn't even get a copy today." "Oh, him?" Barney's .face dark- ened. "Should you mind talking about something else, honey?" he DELICIOVSees REFRESHING Enjoy the genuine peppermint flavor of DOUBLEMtNT GUM! Get some today! Issue No. 47 — '39 1 asked abruptly. "I've used so many high-powered words on him today that I haven't any left to do justice to the subject." "Of course," Janet said cheer- fully, although she felt snubbed and left out. "Why talk shop, anyhow?" "He Doesn't Mean Anything" So they talked about Cynthia and Timothy Benton — who was very much better; about the new trick can opener Barney had brought home, which he said would do everything about the house but answer the door; about the dog show, in which Leslie Pugh was en- tering two cocker spaniels; and finally about the fact that Hal- lowell and Benton had had to lay off some of their best sten, be- cause, it seemed, Timothy Ben - ton's money had been taking care of the payroll for the past six months. "Was—I wonder if Lance was one of them?" Janet asked. And Barney said without meet- ing her glance, "Why, Lance was out several weeks ago, Jan. Didn't you know? But he won't suffer. I hear he's doing pretty well on his own." At something in his manner, Janet set doWn her coffee cup and clasped her hands tightly. "Listen, Barney," she said qui- etly. "There's one thing I• want understood once and for all. Lance doesn't mean anything to me. He hasn't for a long time. If he had, I shouldn't have married you, Barney." Barney said quickly—too quick- ly, "Of course not, Jan. 1 know at" armate eamese in eutly; nett Morning, flushed *itli.news,' • Tim was practically well 'again, and they were going out of town. A new oil field had been opened in the Southwest; and a friend who had heard about Tim's financial reverses had wired him to come on and take charge of operations in his holdings. "Tim says we may have to live in a tent or a box car," Cynthia told Janet, her eyes bright. "Ile thought I'd better wait here. Im- agine! I'm going to love it." Janet said, "I think you really. will, Cyn." "And about Aunt Mary's bills, Jan," Cynthia said. "We found them in her desk after you left I wonder if you'd mind— they really are colossal ---if we sold some of her antiques to pay them. I know you and Barney can't, and frankly, just now, we can't either. The rest of the things we'll put in storage until one of us needs them." "She always meant them for you, Cyn. You must do what you think best." After all, that was what Aunt Mary would like—to pay her own passage to the end, as proudly and independently as she had while she lived. "He Wanted You All Along" When Cynthia finally got up to go, she said, fumbling with her scarf and hesitating in a way very unlike the old Cynthia, "Janet, I have always hated people who volunteered good advice. They always sound so smug. But be nice to Barney, won't you? . . . Of course I know you don't love him, but—" "You know what?" Janet eived sharply. "Darling, it's too obvious. Even Tim, with a tempe°rature of 108, noticed it the other evening. And poor old Barney faii,ly falling over the furniture for watching you. . . It was you he wanted ali along, Jan. He never would have dated me if Lance hadn't been so hard on your heels, and— well, I think he was sorry for me." All at once Janet began to laugh,, rendingly, so that after a time her shoulders began to shake with sobs. "1 can't help it, Cyn," she apol- ogized between .gasps, "It's all so funny --so preposterously fun- ny—you and Tim and Lance and Bartley and Il" "I don't see anything funny about it," Cynthia said between bewilderment and irritation "Por Heaven's sake, brace up, Jan. I've got to get back and see that Tim doesn't do some fool thing to make his cold worse.

Canada Can Be Power For Peace in the World -- Well- rdered Horne Is Bulwark, W. 1. Speaker Declares To build up Canada to become the power she will need to be if there is to be peace In a troubled world is a contribution in which the rural women of the Dominion can play a major part, This was the message of Nlrs. Alfred Watt, president of the As- sociated Countrywomen of the World, to the Western Ontario Wo- men's Institutes in a recent ad- dress at Loudon, Ontario, The speaker urged the women of the W.I., affiliated into the lar- ger world organization, to remem- ber that they were saving their own civilization as well as that of other peoples. "It would be illogi- cal," Mrs. Watt said, "to let our own civilization go down while we try to save parts of Europe." The world president saw the abandon- ment of normal services as a great death blow of the state. She told the rural women that much speci- fic."war work" could be left to the city •women; that the country wo- man's responsibility was the prob- lem of farm production. How that problem would develop in the years ahead, the speaker couldn't say. Canada is well fixed in food supplies at the present time.

"But that's the funniest .thing of all Cyn," Janet whooped: "You in the heavy maternal role!"

When you really lore a man, there are times when you feel like his mother . . . That's one way you know." When Cynthia had gone, Janet sat down shakily. Put On A Better Show So it was obvious—even to Tim- othy Benton — that she did not lore Barney! She hated herself` for placing Barney in a Position so humiliating. l\Tell, hereafter, no one should have reason to guess that. She would pretend so well that not even Barney could accuse ' her again of pretending.

She set the table with the daintiest of her linen, the silver bowl of roses, and ivory candles in the silver sticks. Then she turned again to her dinner — a golden souffle, fresh 'green peas, and a frozen dessert made in the tiny icebox. Those frugal months during which Aunt Mary had taught her to cook seemed like a dispensation of Providence now. Barney looked so taut and gaunt when he carne in that evening that Janet knew he must have paused outside the door to set his hat at that jaunty angle and fortify his grin. ('1'o Be Continued) Collie Mothers Three Rabbits At the home of Ben Triolet, Antherstburg, Ont., a male Collie dog has taken over the ,lob of "mothering" three wild rabbits. About six weeks ago the dog returned from the fields back of the Triplet home with the three cotton -tails safely in his mouth. When an attempt `was made. to take them away from the Collie, he objected. However, after a little persuasion the dog consented to give them up and they .were placed in a warm pen. Mr. Triolet declares that each time he feeds the three "orphans" the dog is on hand to see that they are not injured, The dog refuses to allow a pet cat near them and he will sit for hours under the pen guarding his "family."

HANDY SgAL-TIGHT POUCH s 15¢ 1/2 -LB, "LOK-TOP" TIN « 6O also packed in Pocket Tins shifting populations; there may be a return of former Canadians, an influx of European refugees, a great industrial development. The problem of the food supply is the problem of the farm woman, Mrs. Watt said. "Our destiny is to educate the people," Mrs. Watt said. "It is har- der to raise the standard of living than to raise money but it is the sensible thing to try to raise that standard in one's own community rather than to relieve other organ- izations of their responsibilities." "Build up our country," urged the speaker, herself a Canadian by birth.. "Canada is a land of unlim- ited resources but we have been wasteful." The speaker saw the well -order- ed home as a bulwark against any form of enmity; the self-sustaining community as a guarantee against disorder. Is The Corset Here To Stay? Situation "Hasn't Quite Con- gealed Yet," Says Mainboch- er, Fashion Expert, Who Re- vived It: The corset situation, which has had all the girls in a breathless, di• ther since August "hasn't quite congealed yet" it seems. But it will. That was the latest word last week on the question which has provoked the biggest style contro- versy since skirts first journeyel knee-high after swirling for years arou.nti the ankles. it came from Mailibocher, the designer who created the Duchess of Windsor's wedding gown, and who found himself unwittingly in the limelight last August when he showed a pink satin, back -lace cor- set that started a trend on both sides of the Atlantic, The Lone -Ribbed Look "Ona reason, why the corset is. here to stay. in one form "'or an- other," said Mainbocher, "is that it enables a woman to look young without wearing a 'Baby Snooks' ti i'ess." When a style "congeals" in his opinion, it settles down, takes a final form, becomes an integral part of women's lives. His return to the eorsetted silhouette in de- signing was never a stunt, he said, and he never intended it to be an instrument of torture. "What I hoped it would give was the long -ribbed look which young American girls possess naturally." War Creates Queer Styles Miniature Weapons As Hair- Orntatatcnts • Lockets Back LONDON, Itbngland -- Model air- planes, cannon and searchlights as hair ornaments are finding favour in London as one of the latest fem- inine fashions. Stores are selling jeweled models for evening wear and a more practical variety for use during the day. Isocal storekeepers also report that their stock .11 lockets has giv- en out. After the last war when many a girl carried a miniature of her husband or boy friend, there was no further demand for lockets and their manufacture was disd'on• tinned. Existing stocks were all bought out after the declaration of war last month. Woman No Older Than Her Walk Stand Tall, Keep Your Chin Up And Move Gracefully Beauty experts agree that a wo- man is no older than her carriage and her throat line. "Stand tall, walk lightly and in a graceful manner, keep the skin trona base of throat to chin firm and satiny smooth and you won't look old no Matter how old you are," they tell their clients. Maintain Perfect Balance When you walk, step along very briskly, with head high and chest up; Wear comfortable shoes with heels which help you to maintain perfect balance. Don't acquire the bad habit of shuffling along with heels dragging whenever you get •diced. It will make you even more weary, anyway. Keep your chin up and in, whe- ther yois are sitting, standing, or walking. This is one sure way to ward off fine lines and wrinkles on the throat. And use a rich night cream or special throat cream reg- ularly: Massage it in and leave it 9 on exactly according to directions.
